The title pretty much says it all.. How can I change latinIME from a Rom to SwiftKey, so it is my default keyboard..?

Tried it the same way you can change launcher, giving it the same name, but doesn't seem to work.. :(

Grtz and thanks in advance..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infozerich:
Hi TimHermans,

Do you mean to flash the app so that it runs as a system app, or selecting SwiftKey as the default keyboard? FWIW, having a keyboard running as system can lead to FCs, especially when there is an update. If you want to set SwiftKey as the default keyboard, there is a setting in Language Settings where you can set Text Input. Once you set it as default, the system keyboard should no longer be cached. However, to be sure, you can always freeze latinIME, though I'd just leave it and set SwiftKey as default.

Also, If you are running ICS/JB, I think you can just disable the system keyboard from App Settings, which is the same thing as freezing btw.

In case you really want to run it as a system app, you have a few ways to go about achieving this task, but make sure you set the permissions correctly, otherwise it might not work at all. If you have renamed and moved the app to /system/apps did you remember to fix the permissions?

Re: [Q] How to add SwiftKey to a Rom as default keyboard..

While installing swiftkey provides an option to mark it as the default keyboard. You didn't get that option?

Or go to settings, language and keyboard and there you can select and set swiftkey as your default keyboard.

Re: [Q] How to add SwiftKey to a Rom as default keyboard..

I think I didn't express myself that good.. Of course I know how to set it as default keyboard, but I wanted to know if I can replace the default latinIME with it, in the rom's zip, so it is pre installed as default..

Re: [Q] How to add SwiftKey to a Rom as default keyboard..

I've done this with swiftkey and other apps like launcher/sms/calendar on mildwild oxygen, works fine.

Not all apps work on system partition however, bit of hit and miss, never had any luck with Swype for instance.

When swiftkey and other system apps get updated, use an app like system cleanup to move then back to /system
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TimHermans:
@eddiehk6: How did u do it exactly..? Could you explain it in more detail plz.. still can't get it to work. (Swiftkey)

Thnx in advance mate..

I have tried replaceing the latinIME by renaming swiftkey to latinIME but that gives me force close.. i think its because swiftkey has a config wizard at forst start, dunno..

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coccolino_dbro:
Some apps don't work from system partition; what you could try is to delete the stock keyboard (in this case, LatinIME) and add swiftkey to data partiotion in rom (most roms have a data/app folder, apk placed here behave after install as regular, not system apps)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
Re: [Q] How to add SwiftKey to a Rom as default keyboard..

Try clearing data in swiftkey app first?

If not then 2 ways:

1. When installing the Rom from scratch, open the Rom with 7zip (double click, don't extract). Copy your purchased swiftkey apk into /system/app. Close 7zip, full wipe and install as normal.

2. If Rom is already installed, install swiftkey like any other app from play store, then use another app like system cleanup to manually move to system/app and reboot.

In both cases make sure you have enough free space in /system, otherwise Rom won't boot. You can delete latinIME anytime afterwards once you get swiftkey working.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
i understand exactly what you want lol, because i do exactly what you describe with mildwild oxygen.

i've basically given the instructions, i'll spell them out in a bit more detail:

- make sure you have purchased and downloaded swiftkey apk to your phone already

- copy the apk from data/app or sd-ext/app onto computer by using a file explorer and/or cloud app like dropbox

- double click to open your rom.zip with 7zip (don't extract).

- delete latinIME.apk from system/app

- copy swiftkey.apk into system/app, you won't have to rename it

- close 7zip to update rom.zip

- full wipe and install rom, assuming you have correct hboot and sd-ext correctly setup etc...

this works for me with mildwild oxygen, not sure if it works with all roms. once the rom boots for the first time you may have to skip all the initial account/wifi setup screens if swiftkey keeps crashing before it's done the setup process.

if this method still doesn't work for you, i recommend keeping latinIME.apk in system/app so you definitely have a working keyboard when you do first setup from full wipe. then setup swiftkey by signing in etc. just delete latinIME.apk afterwards, the end result is the same...

[if all you want is swiftkey as system app with your existing rom (without having to full wipe and start all over again), just install swiftkey like any other app, then use systemcleanup to move it to /system/app like i said before. delete latinIME.apk afterwards, the end result is the same...]

Re: [Q] How to add SwiftKey to a Rom as default keyboard..

I think I kinda found a workaround.. I managed to create a flashable zip with titanium backup, it also adds data so no configuration wizard I guess.. So I'll create Rom with no keyboard and flash the zip afterwards.. No time now so I'll do it later..

Was also thinking whether it is possible to add data (as in settings) of system apps to a Rom..? (meaning the install zip..)

Could be a definite fix I think..

Most keyboards have some lib files that they need. These lib files (with extention ".so ") can be found inside the apk of keyboard app. just copy those lib files to system/lib folder in the rom and app should work properly. Hope this helps.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TimHermans:
Use 7zip so you can edit .zip files without needing to re-sign them

Delete LatinIME.apk in /system/app folder in your ROM zip

Extract the libswiftkeysdk-java-internal.so file from Swiftkey.apk in the /lib folder to your desktop

Add the libswiftkeysdk-java-internal.so file to the /system/lib folder in your ROM zip

Add the Swiftkey.apk file to the /system/app folder in your ROM zip

Done.. !!

Download ES File Explorer and backup the apk.

Go to settings in ES File Explorer and select to even backup app data. You can use TitaniumBackup for this or your favourite backup app.

I myself like to install fresh sometimes and set up new fresh of ddata.

After you backup, delete all data of SwiftKey and install the apk from Apps/Backup.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stubbe:
I don't like the TitaniumBackup method. I prefer to have all my apps pre-installed when I did a factory reset. That is why I intend to copy the apps to system/app folder. Seems that it's not that simple. All the copied apks from data/app to system/app gone after factory reset.

I found .asec files, including swiftkeys in app-private, said that .asec is the purchased apks, but no luck of getting it moved to system/app, did a factory reset, every google play installed apps are gone, even tho I copied them to system/app. I got it from this guide :

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-any-app-as-system-app-on-android/

So, the question is : any idea on how to make the .asec files into system/app and make swiftkey as default system keyboard?

Maybe like the guide said I need to tinker with its permissions or something. I'll give it a shot again tomorrow.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WORF84:
I told you, ES File Explorer will back it up to apk.

Install that apk, you then get the right permissions in the process. Move installed apk from data/app to system/app.

You can also extract the lib files needed if you longpress on the apk and choose open, select the proper lib file for your device and move it to system/lib
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stubbe:
Ahhh okay... I get it now. So it will actually convert the .asec files to .apk?

Anyway I will try to do it tomorrow and will report on how it goes here.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WORF84:
Yes.

This process also works with most other apps and even when you want to update apps and gapps.

Note that on Android 4.4 there's a new system apps like folder system/priv-app

SwiftKey can be put there to.

Not necessarily, but I was just curious whether it'll become the default keyboard or not after a reset.

Hi folks. Here I make a batch script to change font in my Xperia U. I think it might work on any Xperia. It has been confirmed to work in xperia 2011 (mini, minipro, active, lww, ray) and 2012 line up (U, P, Go, Sola, S, and soon). It should work on any ICS Xperia.

The font pack sample attached is edited by me. I just change the metadata of the font, imitating the original one (so it's not only renaming the font file, but the metadata inside the font also). I include Comic Sans in the installer as sample.

Make sure your device has been rooted

Installer : Font Changer

Steps on Installing:

1. Extract the zip

2. Put the font pack files into the '/files' directory. Replace if there's existing one

3. Run the installer_en.bat file and follow the steps.

In case the installer fails, you can install manually by pushing the fonts into /system/fonts folder

Don't forget to set permission rw-r--r--

Some of packs in Zip format is CWM flashable zip. You can simply install via CWM. In case it fails, just put it in installer or put it manually.

Sorry for can't provide a good screeny right now. Will manage it later :D. You can google it for preview.

[Android Themes] Quinny899:
Part 2: Customizing the action bar with colours, logos and more!

You must have completed the main guide to start

1.) Go back to your theme's styles.xml

2.) Add the following, as a new style:

<style name="ActionBar_XDARC" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.ActionBar">

</style>

Adding a logo to the action bar

Firstly, create a logo for the bar. It should be (up to) 72 pixels ^ and (up to) 300 pixels ->. The best idea is to use the app logo and customize it how you wish. I used the logo of the blog, and resized it.

Make sure the colour of the image will look OK on the action bar background

Basically, just use common sense really.

Now, add the following code to the style:

<item name="android:icon">@drawable/xda_rc_logo</item>

(Where xda_rc_logo is the name of the image you're using saved in the drawable folders of your theme)

Hiding the text in the action bar

This one is a bit of a hack, but can be done quite easily:

Firstly, add the following to your theme's styles.xml:

<style name="ActionBar_TitleTrans">
<item name="android:textColor">@android:color/transparent</item>
</style>

Now, add the following to the inside of your ActionBar style you created at the start of Part 2:

<item name="android:titleTextStyle">@style/ActionBar_TitleTrans</item>

(There's probably an easier way to do this, I'll edit the post if I find it)

Changing the background

Very simple, add the following to the inside of the style you added at the start of the part 2:

<item name="android:background">#0000FF</item>

Change the hex number to the one you want or use a colour in your theme's xml with @color/* or use an android one, such as @android:color/red

Finally, adding the action bar style to the app

Go back to the style you made in post 1, and add the following to it:

<item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/ActionBar_APP</item>

(Where ActionBar_APP is the name you used at the start of post 2)

For example, the xda RC app would be:

<item name="android:actionBarStyle">@style/ActionBar_XDARC</item>

Now compile your theme and it should use your customized action bar. If you wish to move items out of the dropdown bar and onto your main actionbar, see post 3
