Cm7 swype

I need help getting swype on my cm7. I would the official version so I can theme it. Not sure the process for this. Please help.

You need to download a sense rom and extract the zip on your computer. Then you need to pull the swype apk out of: /system/app and pull the swype lib out of: /system/lib and place both of those in their respective folders on cm.

Another way, and probably easier if you're not familar with the method of pulling files and putting them somewhere else, is to just use the 2.15 beta and the themes in the link below.. Just PM the OP (Leukay) of that thread for the beta version and then you can theme it... I use it and it works like a charm

Got it guys thanks

You can find the apps under /system/app
(The two apps I extracted those images from are contacts.app and phone.app).
Copy the apps to your SD card using something like Root Explorer or ES File Explorer.
Rename the apps to contacts.zip / phone.zip and either use something like Astro to open the zip or just copy the files to your PC.
You'll find the icons under res/drawable or res/drawable-*****

If you're using EStongs you can just extract the apk (no need to rename to zip). Just long press the file and extract...

All the icons of the world

Was it one that came with your Rom? Was it downloaded through a wallpaper-installer app?

How to extract Wallpapers out of a ROM
I did this a while ago while trying to help someone out. It was a really good exercise in learning some basics about apks and such.
First off, read through this thread. In my last post, post #7, I show where I found some wallpapers in the Freeza's stock Rom. I would assume that they would be in the same locations for a different Rom.
The procedure in pulling wallpapers out of a rom is outlined in this post.
Hope this helps!
Unfortunately, my current Rom (Liquidsmooth) didn't come with any "built-in" wallpapers, so I can't show you how to do it through there, but that methodology should work for you.

Isn't it interesting how apks work? I found it quite amazing how simple everything was inside. It makes the idea of modding an app (by changing the various images in the apk) less daunting... Although, I know some apks need to be signed, and that can (sometimes) be an issue. I obviously haven't looked too much into it, but I had a good time searching through the apks when I did that exercise.

There are also wallpapers in /system/framework/framework-res.apk, probably never the current one, but wallpapers that come built in as well. That's how I extracted one from the S4 dump and set it as my wallpaper on my shift (see attached screenie)
@topherk - it's actually really simple to preserve the signature (when modifying an app that's not yours) once you know how to do it. What you do is, let's say you modified the apk by inserting your own modified images. To preserve the signature, you get a copy of the original apk (let's say framework-res.apk) and then open it in an archive viewer like 7Zip, then you compile the apk with your modified images and also open it as an archive next to the original. Then you copy the "res" folder from the modified apk into the "res" folder of the original, and BAM. Modified apk with the manufacturers signature

[MOD] Enable Soft Keys on Team EOS Only .zip

OK guys thanks for the efforts of team EOS and rlasalle15 we now have another working AOSP ROM. Along with every AOSP ROM some will want soft keys over hardware keys so I compiled a .zip to do this.
Step 1: Flash this file View attachment 1859121
Step 2: Go to etc/init.d/99keyoff/ change from rw-rw-r to rwx-rwx-r to disable key backlight.
Please flash through TWRP. There is no brick risk with this!
Thanks to:
wewooo (based off his original file for CM10.1)
VoluntaryMan (He was the last one to post the manual way to get this)

Just curious, what did you modify in weewoo's zip?

Use a root file explorer and navigate to where the file is placed. I use root explorer. Hold the file and a popup with options come up. Hit permissions then check execute on the right for the first 2.

Is there anyway to completely disable hard keys? So if my fat fingers touch them they won't work?

Take the file in the zip named keypad_8064.kl and put it in system/use/keylayout/. Overwrite the existing one. Reboot.

By the way, this isn't the most optimal way to add the keys. In your zip, you're flashing a new build.prop basically messing up the build.prop if they had any tweaks. You should be running a .sh within the updater script that writes this line to build.prop
If you open the lifeless rom, you'll see it done there with a lot of build.prop tweaks.
so have a file like this in the root of the zip called softkeys.sh with the following written inside.
#!/sbin/sh
echo "#qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" >> /system/build.prop
And then alter the updater script to have the following
package_extract_file("softkeys.sh", "/tmp/softkeys.sh");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/softkeys.sh");
run_program("/tmp/softkeys.sh");

[FONT] xda logo font packages - free, nice, easy install

So when I was making myself a signature file image last night, in honor of my new Recognized Contributor status, I wanted to use the font that xda-developers has in the logo. I was very happy to find that @Ganesh A made up this true type font and shared it with us! Go to his thread, please click Thanks for this nice gift, and download "All Continuum.Zip" to get all three versions of the XDA font in one zip file.
What to do with it to install on your Windows PC:
1. Open the zip. No need to extract.
2. You'll see three files inside: Light, Medium, and Bold.
3. Double click on any one of them, and then click the install button.
4. That's it! This will install that font in your Windows programs. For example, on my system now I have the xda font in Word and Photoshop. Nice! You can also use it in a ROM if you want, or in theming.
5. Do the same to install each of the three (Bold, Medium, Light).
I'm surprised more people haven't found this. Nice work, Ganesh A. (Folks, please click thanks for him. There's over a thousand downloads and at the time of this post, only 18 Likes.)

Hey bud. Oh sure, the "click to install" is on Windows. I'm going to edit the OP to clarify that. :good: I just thought it was an awesome font package... gotta love some xda font. Cheers.

Wow, blew right by that. Anyway, got it working. Thanks
