Hello all,
I am very new to the evo and android. I have android 2.2 stock from the store and I am curious as to how I install the droid x keyboard and will i loose the stock keyboard that came with the phone.
i see all of the zip files but do i just install the apk file for the color keyboard that i like and that's it or do i install the apk file and then have to do something else to change the color.
sorry if this has been explained somewhere else..
If you're talking about the multitouch keyboard from the Droid X you have to flash it in recovery
Hi!,
You need to download the zip file to your sdcard and flash it, using ClockWork or Amon_RA Recovery.
You can find all the info and one of the best keyboards with many skins to choose from right here:

Have you rooted your phone?
You need to go into recovery and flash the zip file just like you would a rom

Basically, it means you can't do it. If it has to be installed from recovery, your phone would need to be rooted so you can install a custom recovery such as Clockwork or AmonRA. With any of those installed, you can boot into the custom recovery and "flash" files onto your phone. For a lack of better terms, flash is another way of saying install. However, if you read the first few lines of the link, it says some people were able to without flashing from recovery, so you'd have to try it. It seems you can't use a comma on the Evo with that keyboard, so that in itself would stop me from using it.
If you don't want to root your phone and want a better keyboard, i suggest you go with Swype. I don't remember what typing on a phone was without it.
related question: I love the Keyboard on CM6 and now on yet another rom. It's a bit different than the regular multi touch in you can slide up and get numbers and other symbols. What is the name of this keyboard?
Thanks for the info. I wont be rooting the phone so ill stick with the stock keyboard
Thanks again
Um, I pushed the file and installed it like a regular .apk. Although I am rooted, I don't think you HAVE to be just to install that keyboard.

I did the exact same... And I'm not rooted.
My 100th post yay me? haha
You don't need to be rooted! Its simple download the .apk on your phone and use astro or another file manager to install it. Their is a thread on here with a bunch of different themes for the multi touch keyboard. It is really simple after that also just go to settings--->language and keyboard----> scroll down and check multitouch keyboard than just go to a text input field hold your finger there than select input method and choose your keyboard!!

i saw all of the different themes. Do i just use the apk file that is included in each of the zip files to get the different theme?
also will these erase the original stock keyboard??

as previously stated, no ROOT access is needed to flash a keyboard, and it wont "erase" the stock keyboard
No, it won't delete the original keyboard...download the keyboard theme that you like and then place the zip file on the sd card of the phone. Then your gonna need astro - which you can download from the market for free. Open astro and navigate to the zip that you put on your sd card and open the zip. Find the APK and long press it and it will open up giving you the option to install. Install. Then go to settings - language and keyboard and check the multi-touch KB. Then, when you go to send a text, long press on the text entry area and a menu will pop up that says input option and select multi-touch and your good to go! To change back to the original kb long press on the text entry area and you can reselect the original kb. No root required!
Just installed this keyboard.. LOVE IT!! Thanks for the install instructions!
I'm getting force closes. Did I install wrong?
Is there any simple and safe way to delete ADW launcher (which comes with CM7) and install LauncherPro after that?

That's what I'm doing now exactly. Anyhow I wont recommend u to do that. Instead install launcher pro and make it default.
Anyhow I will tell the process . Do it at ur own risk. First u should install launcher pro or any other launcher. Doing this first is a must. Then u can use titanium backup to remove system apps like adw launcher of cm7. But don't mess up with other system apps if u r not aware of what u r doing. Doing anything stupid will make u to loose data and install a new rom.
Edit : Suppose if u format the phone after removing adw launcher, it ends up with no user interface. Only way then is reinstalling the rom again.

Install LP, Make it default, then flash this in recovery (2.x only, May not work in 3.x AFAIK)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=525583&d=1298494859
@3xeno, you were right, that .zip can't be flashed using cw recovery v3+, thx anyway.
@bharatgaddameedi, i did it using titanium backup. thx
You might want to keep 2.x Recovery handy for many situations such as these, then flashing radio, Sense based ROMs etc. This can be obtained by installing Clockworkmod From within ROM Manager App. Then, Rebooting into Recovery, again from within the ROM Manager app.
This way, you will have both, 2.x and 3.x
If you can't flash the zip file because your recovery is too new, you can always log on to your terminal and do the following:
Just make sure Launcher pro is set as default launcher before doing this:
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm -f /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk
pm uninstall com.android.launcher
After doing this the terminal should read Success
Why not just extract the rom, switch the launchers in system/app then repackage and flash?
Speaking of switching apps, once the rom has been extracted and repackaged, does it need to be re-signed etc?

I'm using ADW launcher ex and it's fast, smooth and has got a lot of customize.... The best one seen on cm7.
Today I read a little guide from youmobile, about installing the new camera in android 4.2. (cant post link since im new)
I did everything except I forgot to backup first. Now everytime i start up the phone, open camera or open gallery it comes "Gallery has crashed".
Anyone knows what I might have done wrong? I used ROM Manager -> Boot into clockwordmod recovery -> flash zip -> and i chose the zip.
The camera is working trough apps like Snapchat, but not trough the stock app.
I could also use the stock 4.1.2 gallery and camera .apk so I atleast can get back my camera.
I am running on 4.1.2 takju nexus, with Air Kernel 3.0.46.
Please help.

try this zip. it's fixed so that everything should work.
http://www.mediafire.com/?e2yx2146j1qrv89
if you still get crashes, you may want to reflash your Rom (without wiping).
also try fixing permissions, either in clockwork or rom manager

Thanks. I'm new tho, so what do you mean by fixing permissions. Could you give me step by step?
Go into recovery(CWM) and select the fix permissions option (might be under advanced)
Swype'ed on my CM10 Galaxy Nexus
Installing the .zip file already fixes permissions. Have you tried renaming the apk to Gallerygoogle2.apk in your preferred file manager?
second post, the link works perfectly.
Thanks!
The GT-P1010 it's a forgotten device by Samsung, knowing that it has the capabilities to run some of the most updated versions of android we are still waiting for advanced developers to port it, In the mean time I bring you today a themed ROM just to resemble the look of android Jelly Bean. It was a pleasure to develop for this device and you end users. In the future there will be more updates based on your feedback and if I still own the device. Now you can grab and go with your tab it has everything you need.
IMPORTANT: Advanced knowledge of what your doing it's required, I'm not responsible for the mismanagement of your device, soft-brick or hard-brick. Still, I'm here to help you with whatever you need.
WHAT'S NEW?
The Android system it's pretty much the same, the ROM is based on Android Gingerbread 2.3.6 KPO latest update for UK.
The status bar has been resized and extracted what was not needed, the toggles has been resized as well to gain more notification area on portrait and more importantly in landscape mode, added transparency too.
Theme for Settings and Main Menu is now black
Added new icons to resemble Jelly Bean.
New pop dialogs, menus, bars, buttons, radios, checks and more
Colors for the status bar clock and icons.
Added new JB keyboard
Replaced stock launcher with a modded version of Nemus Launcher, faster and very customizable.
Added new wallpapers to the gallery.
Rooted + busybox
Lockscreen animation and time position
Roboto font
New Sounds and ringtones
MXPlayer with codec
Dolphin + JetPack for full website browsing
[*]Complete animated UI

Hi all,
I recently installed the Xposed module MinMinGuard, which is supposed to help remove ads in the browser, and even the "white space" that is where the ad was before it was blocked.
I activated and used it for a bit and enabled on all my apps, however after deciding to discontinue use and uninstalling, there's blank space at the top of many websites now that sticks on the page even when scrolling. It only goes away if I hit Menu, but returns on the next website I visit.
I've included 2 screenshots to show the space.
I tried tweaking / reinstalling / etc. MinMinGuard a few times, but it doesn't fix the issue.
TB only has 1 backup of the browser, and it's from after I installed the module. Is there any way to re-install the stock browser from another source? Stock rom or something?
I have tried to clear data / cache on the browser to no avail.
**EDIT #2: I might be completely wrong about this having to do with MinMinGuard.
Apparently if you have any app enabled in accessibility settings and quick controls on it will happen. I have Tasker enabled in accessibility, and just recently enabled it..
**EDIT #3: That fixed it! Disabled Tasker in accessibility settings and all is back to normal. Guess it's some weird bug in android that hasn't been fixed and has existed since 4.2.2.
could try restoring from nandroid backup if you have one. or go on line and look for stock browser apk download (?)
err on the side of kindness
Not sure if this would work but you could try deleting the stock browser apk from the system folder and re-installing the stock browser.

But how would I re-install after deleting the apk?
If you are rooted, you could find the relevant Browser under /system/apps and delete the apk. I use Root Explorer to delete system files.
You could find a stock-based browser such as srx, unzip it, find the Browser apk, copy it to your SDcard, open root explorer, find the Browser, and open the file to install it.
Have you tried installing other browsers such as Chrome or Dolphin? Do these browsers exhibit the same behaviour?
I have a feeling its not going to be an issue with the browser app itself. Xposed probably did something in CSC and/or possibly elsewhere.
I think the easiest solution will be to reflash your current rom or firmware.
I could be wrong though, so you may wish to try replacing the browser apk. Something else that may be worth trying would be to wipe dalvik cache from recovery.

Other browsers are not affected so I'm hoping I don't have to re-flash. I downloaded the stock NE4 rom and was planning on extracting the secbrowser.apk (or whatever it's named) from the rom and then installing it that way, but for some reason, there is no browser apk in the stock rom zip, which is baffling to me.
Wiping dalvik had no effect.

Stock Samsung firmware is packed differently from custom ROMs and this is why you don't see any apk files. SRX is a custom ROM.

It may be called something else. In many custom ROMs, it's called browser.apk. Maybe Samsung or ATT renamed it.
Use Root Explorer and look in the system/app folder. The browser icon should appear next to the apk name.

Question - I'm on the stock rom (which installed via the NE4 firmware upgrade). I debloated it myself via TB.
If nothing else works, could I install the stock odexed / rooted NE4 rom in the development section over this? And if so, would I:
1) Need to wipe system beforehand (I would wipe cache / dalvik)
2) Would my disabled / debloated apps stay disabled / debloated? (for instance, I froze TouchWiz launcher in TB and use Nova).

Found it - secbrowser.apk - dunno why my keyword search didn't work before.
Anyway I uninstalled the browser and re-installed via Root Explorer from the stock rom. Also reverted changes in my CSC directory just in case.
No go - same problem exists. MinMinGuard must have modified something elsewhere. Damn.
**EDIT: Learned something about the issue. The blank space appears when I enter in a URL in the navigation bar and press enter to load it. Then the blank space appears on whatever page I have loaded. If I press Menu to show / hide the navigation bar, then the blank space goes away until I enter in another website.
It appears to have to do with the navigation bar - it's like the navigation bar disappears, but a black space takes it's place instead of shrinking / disappearing from view as I scroll down the page (note: I have the quick-controls enabled). When disabling quick-controls the problem ceases, but resumes upon re-enabling.
**EDIT #2: I might be completely wrong about this having to do with MinMinGuard. Found the issue elsewhere:
Here and here.
