I'm running the latest Wicked Rom and play store says there's an update for the Google Keyboard which I run. It then tells me "Package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall the previous copy of the app and try again."
I can't find a way to uninstall the current google keyboard so I can update. Any ideas?
If its in /system/app/ rensme it with te extension .bak. then reboot and try to install it again.

Hey Doc, thanks for the very quick reply. I checked the app folder in system per your instructions but there was no Google keyboard listed. Any other ideas?
Then I guess its not a system app. (It may have IME somewhere in the name btw. Sometimes the keyboards don't have the word keyboard in the file name. For example, Samsungs keyboard is SamsungIME.apk.
Look in App management and see if you can uninstall it there.

Thanks Serio, so I renamed it with .bak, ran the update but got the same error message unfortunately.
I also looked in app manager, but it doesn't give me an option to uninstall it, I cleared the data and tried again but the same error.
Did you remember to reboot after renaming?
Go into /data/data/ and look for the folder for the keyboard. Something like com.google.latinime
Rename that folder too. I usually just put a Z or A in front of the name to make it easy to find.

Minus 9000 for epic not reading fail. Ok, will reboot and get back.
Rebooted, same error. This is more of a curiosity issue and not really a major problem...I'd love to find an answer to this though.
Lol!
No biggie. We've all done it I'm sure!

Did you also make sure there wasn't another vending.apk in /system/apps? Nothing should be going wrong if you're following the directions posted above unless it's some bad download. Try the new market that is out. It's awesome and works flawlessly on my Epic. Make sure you rename it vending.apk once you put in on your sd card. Use root explorer to copy/paste it to /system/apps.
Try installing the app I gave you regularly or try the new market app that should be in the first page of general

Well, there was a thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1270232
But it appears the link is down. So, for anyone else that wants it I've edited a stock framework and you can grab it below. What does it do? It is completely stock framework other then the fact that the CRT screen off animation is enabled. Push it to system/framework.

This is a zip file? Is it flashable through CWM?

I downloaded using the link in the OP. Used Root Explorer to rename the existing APK inside system/framework , then pasted the DLd apk in its place.
Immediately Titanium Backup hit me with an FC, then Market. I rebooted.
When my phone came up all of my sync accounts were gone, including my Market gmail account. Smart Keyboard Pro is gone as the default and Swype is back. Etc.
That'll learn me to Nandroid first.
First delete or rename "root//data/data/com.android.provider.contacts/databases/contacts2.db". Now copy provided "ContactsProvider.apk" to "root//system/app" folder, change permission to rw-r--r-- and restart the device wait some time for data to sync. Hit the thanks button please

I'm guessing the provided apk is modded as suggested by that link, and the db file is auto generated on reboot with the required columns (or reinstalling the fb app does it).

I'm on the July 16th version of Carbon ROM, it's 4.2.2. I do not like the android keyboard it uses and none of the solutions on the carbon thread have worked for me. I've also done a bit of googling but it didn't help. I'm looking for the stock samsung keyboard my phone came with out of the box. If you help me get it on my phone, you will be rewarded with $5 PayPal if you please. Thanks

Copy this to /system/app using es file explorer ( with root permissions ). Reboot into recovery and fix permissions. Should work.

I didn't download it but if that's just SamsungIME.apk it week not work (which is what he wants). First, there are a couple libs and alert app needed just for SamsungIME. Second, it needs TW Framework which is where the real problem lies.

Bummer. Disregard then. It is the samsung ime apk. Didn't realize it was so integrated. Lib files can easily be copied, but if it's integrated into the framework, that's a whole other beast.
He may want to look at installing swipe or smart keyboard instead.

Swype and the other just aren't the same for me. It's a shame because carbon has so much to offer. Might have to switch back to Jedi or something. I wish I started off on a different keyboard because I'm so used to this one.
