Tools needed: smali, baksmali (google them), a JDK, and an extracted factoryfs.rfs from an éclair ROM.
(If you don't have a linux machine to mount an .rfs file to a directory never forget that your device has linux on it, so it can actually mount the .rfs file to a directory)
First collect the files you need from factoryfs.rfs:
/app/AxT9IME.apk
/app/AxT9IME.odex
/lib/libXt9core.so (this is actually the same file that's inside the apk)
/lib/libDHWR.so
/framework/android.policy.odex
/framework/core.odex
/framework/ext.odex
/framework/framework.odex
/framework/services.odex
Copy all the odex files into the same directory as baksmali is. Disassemble it with:
java -jar baksmali.jar -x AxT9IME.odex
This should create an out directory, with the disassembled, and deoptimized files. Now reassemble them, with smali:
java -jar out
This should create an out.dex file. Rename it to classes.dex, and put it into the AxT9IME.apk (don't be fooled by the extension, it's a simple zip file)
Now copy the following files to your phone:
AxT9IME.apk --> /system/app
libXt9core.so --> /system/lib
libDHWR.so --> /system/lib
Remove the following files:
/system/app/AxT9IME.odex
/system/lib/libdhwr.so (this is lowercase. The above was uppercase. Case does matter!)
Now try to enable the samsung keyboard. If everything goes well then you can now use the old keyboard.

Alternatively if you needed the keyboard from the XWJM8 version, you can download the result files from here: http://android.sztupy.hu/dl/SamsungKeyboardFroyo.zip
Thank you
can I use this method in order to replace framework.jar/framework.odex from another build?
JHJP4 support proper BIDI (for Hebrew/Arabic and other RTL languages)
And how do we do the opposite? Want 2.44 on eclair =)
Should work the same

No, framework.jar is too much different between eclair and froyo. You can only port simple applications (in /system/app) this way.

It would only work if the new keyboard doesn't use anything FroYo specific (like gesture support, or enhanced multitouch support). If it does use froyo specific api functions it will break under eclair.

Both frameworks are from Froyo
just different version
JP4 framework has proper BIDI support

If framework.jar changes then all pre-optimized files (odex) have to be reoptimized (the same way as the tutorial above shows), and even after that it might not work...
hi can I ask a few questions. I don't know much about these complicated things, but I will try my best.
can we collect files you asked us from factoryfs, through root explorer.
you asked to copy file with capital letters to phone and then asked to remove same file name with small letters. can one directory have two files with same name?
and finally how would we copy files to the phone?
thanks.

You can use rootexplorer to transfer the files to /sdcard modify them on the PC, tran transfer them back from /sdcard to their location.
thanks I really appreciate your help can I ask you another simple question. I have downloaded jdk.
and installed it. how do I use these commands to disessemble, java jar. is there any special java prograame. thanks.
thanks v much. problem solved. ported urdu keyboard from eclair to jpk. thanks again.
How do I know which files from /lib do I need to replace?
I'm trying to use contacts apk from other froyo rom
So, I tried the above instructions, and all I get is errors with bksmali, but i get the out directory, then when I run smali, it get another bunch of errors, but no out.dex. Any help would be amazing.
I haven't tried any of this other than trying to just install the AxT9IME.apk which obviously didn't work. I can enable it but trying to switch to it or access its settings instantly resorts in a force closure.
What I don't think I've seen mentioned is whether or not the end result of this allows you to have both the 2.2 and the 2.1 keyboards. Could anyone clarify for me if you get both or just the 2.1 keyboard in the end?
Lastly, would it be possible for someone to write an app (downloadable via market) for this keyboard for any android version? Because that'd be pretty awesome.
It'd be nice if it didnt create an app-drawer icon, but I wouldn't mind as Go Launcher allows me to hide unwanted apps.
I honestly like the 2.2 keyboard, but the 2.1 one (with its 4 pages) has symbols in on it that I have seen no where else, which is pretty cool and why I'm wanting it.
Hello people,

Greetings!
I originally posted a troubleshooting question relating to file naming conventions and the inability to rename a file once it has been erroneously named....
short version: I am requesting the "SamsungCamera.odex" file from the T-Mobile Galaxy S3 phone. Mine is corrupted and as such I cant utilize the camera or the video camera on the phone.. (not too fun on a brand new phone...)
For the long version(or to help me see how/why this happened or how to fix it the correct way... please see this thread.
Thank you, in advance, for anyone that can please help me to fix this incredibly annoying problem.

Here you go, dude. (.odex isn't listed as a valid file extension for upload on the forum, so I zipped it.)

Thank you so much!!!!
I'm going to try placing that file in the /system/app folder right now and hopefully that will restore stock functionality to the video camera!
Will follow up!
Thank you a million! .. quite sincerely!
That worked like a charm!
Dropped the (correctly named) SamsungCamera.odex file in the /system/app folder, renamed the modified camera apk to ".apk.modded" and renamed the original apk file back to ".apk" extension and viola: Instant camera functionality.
Thank you, again, so much.
You've literally made my day!
Thank you.
Hi! Could you upload the original SamsungCamera.apk, please? Because when I'm tried to install HX Camera mod, i put the two files into a zip, when the Root Browser crashed. The two files were gone, and the zip became corrupt. After this, i put the mod to system\app. On the first run, it worked, but after a while it crashed. I run the camera again and it crashed after a time, again, and again. So I decided to try the video. And now it doesn't even want to start. So that's why i request the stock camera, and please upload as soon as possible. Thanks.
