It may be a sin, but I really like the stock Facebook app from LG.

Anybody know where I can get it for use on GingerVolt 1.3?
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
Pull it out of a backup you already have and push it into /system I believe. The other more smarter people can elaborate on that though
[LG Revolution] S.Meezy:

[LG Revolution] brian_nathaniel:
I was able to extract the SNS.APK using the method described here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=890336

When I try to install, however, I get the error "Application not installed".

Any ideas?
[LG Revolution] S.Meezy:
Try just placing it in /system/app/ and rebooting.

Did this work? I'm looking to put the lg social feeds back on but I can't get it yo connect. I'm not sure if pulling out a different version of the file would work or not. Any thoughts?

Actually, before I got my lazy self around to testing it, Facebook released the latest version of their app, which I really like, so I haven't given it a shot.

Hi me is new to Neo v or any Sony Ericsson Android to be honest normally HTC or Samsung for me. Right i know you can unlock the boot loader but can you relock it if so before i do go ahead with it can any one give me heads up on this because of warrenty?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ssimmmo:
Take it you want me to look at flash tools is that right can that unlock and relock the bootloader for my Neo v ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Krishna-Sukhraj:
Look for the relocking bootloader ftf file (for neo v) in this category and flash it in the flash mode.

make sure you make backup of everything if something incase goes wrong.

and also if you unlocked bootloader via sony's official site then you can relock it but you wont get the certificates as they're already gone while unlocking it + warranty is voided.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lrs421:
Just wanted to see what you guys thought. I have the official extended battery (albeit purchased from Ebay). I’ve had my Bionic for about 8 weeks now and my battery life has started getting progressively worst. I checked for any rogue apps eating away battery life and all seems to be well. On average it’s lasting about 6 hours with moderate use. Here’s the breakdown:

Cell Standby: 43%

Phone Idle: 40%

WiFi: 8%

Display: 5%

Bluetooth: 5%

Voice calls: 3%

4h 53m 47s on battery with 20% remaining.

My phone is completely stock, not rooted. It’s also been running a bit hot lately, right now with no use it’s running @ 39c/102f. It also takes about 3 hours to completely charge on the stock battery.

According to the system my battery health is good as well. Any ideas? I can’t find the stock battery so I would have to purchase another one to compare.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] teltron:
I like to use the Watchdog app to see if there are any apps eating up my battery. Maybe it'll help you. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.zomut.watchdoglite
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lrs421:
Gonna give watchdog a shot, I used it a while back. Something is definitely going in here. It's absurd.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lrs421:
Watchdog spotted "Android Media Process". 48% usage, what the hell is that??
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nosympathy:
I remember an issue where your phone just scans and scans the sd card. You'll need to save everything to your comp. Format. Then put it all back. Should be good then.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lrs421:
That sounds likely. I did format the sd card and the battery has been better over the past 6 hours. Still testing though. I thought it was the battery. Guess not.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jayitaliano:
Keep us posted... im running on the stock battery and mine is dead in 6 hours with little to no use.(while im working)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lrs421:
Battery has been much better since watchdog. I had a system process sucking my battery dry using nearly 50% CPU non stop. It was related to my SD card.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jayitaliano:
What was the fix? Just zapping it with watchdog?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lrs421:
Watchdog just helped me isolate the problem. It does include a task killer though.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Gadget0Freak:
This happened to me as well. Shortly after getting the extended battery my battery life was worse than the standard battery. Mainly cell standby eating battery under usage stats. This was mis-leading. I used an app called System Panel to isolate the issue to the external sd card, which led me to a corrupt movie file. Deleted the file and reloaded movie. Have had excellent battery life since then :^)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] iastonish:
can you format the sd card straight from the phone, does it matter? I've also had worse battery life since popping in my micro sd so i unmounted it for now
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nosympathy:
Yes under settings/storage/unmount sd card then click format. I actually formatted my internal memory and sd card last night. Battery life has gotten much better since then.

Shout out to

yaggermr

, He was the one who found the keyboard debug screen, and XIndirect for being a generally "rad dude."

The following is written for Hacker keyboard, but should work with Swift, and others. Some keyboards require more than one file to be moved to more than once place. Swype is an example of this. There is more than enough information in the next few pages describing what you need for various keyboards.

This procedure requires Root.

I can not be held responsible for any damaged property or loss of data you incur while running this tutorial.

Enable keyboard Debug mode.

Install an Alternate launcher and Root explorer

Install anycut: http://goo.gl/isvc1

Open Anycut, Create a New Shortcut.

Pick "Activity"

Pick "Android Keyboard Debug" (PROTIP: the list is larger than it looks, Scroll down!)

While you are there, create another shortcut for "Accessibility", and "Debug settings."

Return to your alternate launchers home screen and open "Android Keyboard Debug"

Enable Debug mode, and click Back. (Side note, you can stop here if you only want to change themes.)

Install an alternate keyboard.

Hacker Keyboard: http://goo.gl/AvZ08

Download your keyboard in APK form.

DO NOT INSTALL IT WITH THE PACKAGE MANAGER OR MARKET

Open Up root explorer and navigate to "/media/My Files/My Downloads"

Copy "Hacker_s_Keyboard_v1.27.apk"

Now Navigate to "/system/app" and Mount as R/W

Paste "Hacker_s_Keyboard_v1.27.apk"(PROTIP: You may need to modify the files permissions, 777 will do here(that means on the permissions screen check all the boxes.))

Close every thing, and return to your launchers home screen.

Reboot your nook.

Enable The alternate keyboard.

Run the Accessibility shortcut you created earlier.

Under input method, select your new keyboard.

Thats it!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xdahgary:
Hacker keyboard does look nice, but have you tried swiftkey or swype?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] robertely:
I don't actually mind the built in that much, but i know this was a heavily requested hack. So i did a write up with what ever i had around.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] thatdude90210:
Cool thanks, it works. I had to reboot the NT before this keyboard showed up.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dang69:
Thanks! This is hopeful. It worked for me but the version of Swype I used FCed relentlessly. perhaps a different apk would work but I don't have any idea how to find one. I used the one that the swype installer downloaded for me when it thought it could just install.

If it ain't Swype I'm fine with stock so I didn't try any others. BTW, I've used Swype on a tablet and it's brilliant.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xdahgary:
Don't forget the libSwypeCore file. You need to drop that in the /system/lib folder.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rip32:
When making the short cut under activity I don't have the option to pick "Android Keyboard Debug"? is there something else I need to enable first?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] robertely:
Should be there, dig a little it's a big list. Make sure you are under "Activities"
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dallasjim:
Sorry, I have a short list and don't have it either. I am rooted and everything works great.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rip32:
mine the same only about 4 or 5 choices
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] theundeadelvis:
The list scrolls. Scroll down, they're there.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] robertely:
I have numerous confirmations that this works. The App was not made for tablets, so the list looks smaller than it is.:confused:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dang69:
Darn! I'll bet that was it. I had everything else in place. Is that a file the apk creates when you install? I couldn't find it on my device. Now I'm back to where I'll have to let the installer try the normal method just to get the main program back so I can copy it into root. Is there anywhere I can get the library file?

Is there any chance the program will just install correctly now that I'm rooted?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xdahgary:
Yes, it creates when installed.

Doubt swype will install normally cuz nook tablet not an approved device.

Removed...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dang69:
I'm on it. Will report back. It'll be a while gotta prep for family visit.

Thx.

One more quick question. Should I do anything with permissions? I don't know jack about them but I'd be inclined to click all the boxes for user. I don't know what 644 means, never saw anything in root explorer like it but see it all the time in posts.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xdahgary:
Sorry, I don't use root explorer. I use super manager's file manager and all it asks me is "R/W or Read-Only?"

I'm not a dev. just a nerd.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Drewmungus:
I pushed swift keyboard to system/apps with root explorer and after a reboot I was able to select from the accessibility menu. I freakin love text prediction!!!!!!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xdahgary:
Sweetness! Should also work for swype. Can we get a screenshot?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] theundeadelvis:
I haven't been able to get it to show up in input selection menu. I must be missing something.

FC's resolved

Forgot the .so file. So I did a Package install & moved the lib to the correct location. FC's all gone but now Swype says my screen size does not match my device. While I can select it, there is no keyboard when tapping an input field. I am using the beta version from their site.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SCClockDr:
Well I got Hacker keyboard working. This is a good thing!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mac4rfree:
I followed the instructions in the first page.. installed Anycut and created the required shortcuts and then copied the apk to /system/app and rebooted the device.

But after rebooting, i selected the Swype from accessibility settings. But i was getiing message that "Swype process is getting FC"

Can Somebody help me...

Hi! Ok, so I was able to follow everything so far, but am lost on the "Change properties of system copy to all ticks then reboot." Where do I find that? Is it in the settings? I'm lost...thanks for your help!

Ok, I didn't do that step (couldn't find it/didn't understand it), but I continued on to reboot, and swype is up and running! Awesome! Thanks for this super detailed post. :D

Re-Format of CelticWebSolutions Method

(Re-Format by SClockDr) Follow instructions to create shortcuts and enable keyboard debug.

This is where my method differed to op.

Install swype from market or use a downloaded apk.

It won't work yet.

In ES File Explorer navigate to /data/app

Copy the keyboard apk (swype one)

Navigate to a safe place such as your sdcard

Paste the apk

Navigate to /data/app

Copy the keyboard apk (swype one) again

Navigate to /system/app

Paste the apk

Change properties of system copy to all ticks

Reboot

Once rebooted select the keyboard with any cut shortcut to accessibility settings

(it may say something about you having no accessibility installed, you can install something form market here if you wish but you don't actually need to)[*]Keyboard will keep crashing which is OK it's nothing to worry about, it's just a bit annoying for a moment

In Es File Explorer navigate to the safe place you stored a copy of the swype apk

(not the original one in /data/app or the duplicated one in /system/app)

Click install to install it from the apk

It will inform you that it's going to overwrite existing copy

Click OK

Crashes will stop

Finally delete the copy from system/app

I (SCClockDr) believe this step prevents issues on subsequent re-boots.

All should work now. I've (CelticWebSolutions) got Go keyboard, swype and a couple of others installed this way and all work ;)

Good luck!

A huge thanks to CelticWebSolutions for discovering this method and sharing it!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Nicely tweaked ;)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SCClockDr:

Registered to throw my cents in!

I got slideit working error free on my nook tablet. Here's how I went about doing it:

1. I went to market, and installed slideit

2. Used root explorer to get to data/app

3. Copied slideit apk from data/app to sd card

4. I went back to market and uninstalled slideit

5. I connected tablet to PC, with Windows in my case

6. Made a copy of the slideit apk to desktop

7. Changed the copied slideit apk from slideit.apk to slideit.zip

8. Used 7-zip to extract its contents, the item I was looking for was the lib file.

9. Copied that lib file (called libSlideITEngine.so in my case) to sd card

10. Disconnected from PC, used root explorer to move lib file to system/lib

11. Changed permissions of it to match the other lib files (in my case rw-r--r--)

12. Copied original slideit apk from sd card to system/app

13. Changed permissions of it to match the other apk files (same as 11 in my case)

14. rebooted

15. used NT Hidden Settings app to navigate to accessibility settings

16. changed input method to slideIT Keyboard

17. profited with no force closes!

[generic I'm not responsible, you're doing this at your own risk clause, and this also assumes you know when to make r/w and r/o with root explorer]

[also this goes without saying but I got much of those steps from those like CelticWebSolutions who who have contributed to this thread]
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mac4rfree:
I have been using Go Keyboard for sometime now,, but suddenly yesterday, i was not able to swipe the words like we can do in Go Keyboard...

I didn't even realise you could swype!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Fatos:
I have installed swiftkey . works fine
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Bobcat001:
Enquiring minds want to learn...

1. What is keyboard debug and why is it necessary in this case?

2. Is it necessary to make a shortcut to accessability settings when we can navigate there via 'NT Hidden Settings"?

3. Why is it necessary to copy the .apk to /system/app when it's deleted later?

4. Why is it so difficult to install an alternate keyboard?

Swype Alt Keyboard on NT

I found these Directins didnt work completley for me and

after many forums I found a collection of instructions to attemt to install swype on the NT and came up with this set of instructions. My shortcut creater from the home screen didnt work, which seems to be a common problem but i Found a program that will

let you create and execute your shortcuts. This will give you a full screen swype keyboard and works great! Hope this helps you!

First post

This is my first post and want to thank everyone for all the hard work that allowed me to get my nook to a usable state. if not for the devs the nook would be complete crap, IMHO. thank you all. I plan on keeping mine if anyone cares. SBM addressed enough of my issues.

The only issue left for me is Swype keeps FC after reboot until I install it manually through the package installer before it will work. Now my question is there a way to make it persistent so manual reinstallation is not needed or is there a script that will automate install after every boot?

Android noob learned all I know about Android from these forums.

My nook info. Base snowball mod plus the systemui for ics icons. Swype from above. Finally it worksish.

First time using Swype and love it definite must have. Please help. Thanks
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Where are you manually installing the package from? It much not be from the location it's installed in. you need a copy of the APK somewhere else such as in your sdcard then install it maniually from the sdcard after a reboot. If you follow my instructions which have been repeated in a couple of posts by others it should work perfectly for you I promise :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chainsaw667:
I am following the method and link from dmac. I followed all prep steps and rebooted as directed. I have been fighting with Swype for days and have tried all guides to installing it to no avail. I will be trying again tonight. thanks

I don't know about dmac's way I'm afraid, I've not tried that one.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chainsaw667:
I tried all other mothods with different swype files from differing sources over the last week and dmacs has been the only one to even try to work. before the last reboot I switched the Input settings to the default keyboard in hopes the fc would stop. switching keyboards at boot I can live with, but still fc after googleservicesframework fc. gsf closes first then swype after boot. apologies if in wrong thread

I just installed slide it. Alli did was move the apk to system/ app with both folders set as re-writable and install from there. No reboot needed it just gave me the option to activate the keyboard right wheni finished the installi am using it right now to enter this post. It is working great.
