"How to" Edit Swype Keyboard

First off, I take no credit in doing this, this is meant to help people if they want to try it. And I am only making thread at request of others members.
If you break your phone I am not responsible, if you have questions though I am more than willing to help as much as I can but this was the first project I did.
There may be easier ways to do this but this is how I did it. If there is, feel free to comment the other ways!
I would like to say thanks to maddoggin and illinois08 for there help in getting mine figured out!
Requirements:
winrar (this is what I prefer but you can use any of your choice)
Original Swype.apk (included in thread and swype needs to be already installed)
image editing software (I personally used gimp and coreldraw) and experience in them.
common sense
What you are actually changing:
To change the look of swype is fairly simple, meaning all you are changing is some .png files in the apk itself to whatever you want them to be.
The only downside is trying to make sure the letter spacing is correct. That is the reason I used coreldraw first to do the spacing and then the background with my flames was in gimp.
First Step:
Using winrar (7zip, etc) open up Swype.apk (I placed on desktop for easier use).
The first folder should say assets. Open up assets. After you open assets, there should be a folder named keyboards. Drag the keyboards folder to desktop.
Once you open the keyboards folder, you will see multiple image files. You have found the files we need to edit! Make sure every png stays in there even if you decided not to edit one of them.
Files SwypeRef_LS_Blue_Shifted_WVGA.png (LS is landscape keyboard) through SwypeRef_PT_Standard_wBlue_VGA.png (PT is portrait, most important for me)
I only edited 4 of the images because these are the main 4 I use and don't use landscape. If you wish you can edit all of them or just 1 .
Second Step:
Using Gimp/or CorelDRAW, you will need to make new images that are 480x320 pixels. At this point, it is totally up to you to get the placements correct and make the image how you want it displayed.
I personally imported the images I was editing to Corel, and basically started a fresh one on top of it so I could get the letter placements correct. You need to make sure when you are done that the image is still 480x320 with the letters not being the end of the size. I made an outline that was 480x320 and placed the letters inside and exported the image that way so it stayed the right size. I would also try to keep the images around 50 kb because mine are around 90 and you noticed some lag when it switched between pngs...
As you are exporting your images, make sure to name them their appropriate names (shifted, capitals, lower case, etc.) which makes it easier to rename them after wards.
Third Step
Once you have all of your images done how you want, I would place them all in their own separate folder.
Now, you will need to open the keyboards folder from earlier and match the images you edited to where they go in "keyboards" and rename your files to the appropriate name and delete its' counter part. Meaning make sure only your image is in keyboards with it renamed to what mode your png represents. And make sure the folder contains every png it did before. They all serve a purpose.
After you have removed all the old pngs and replaced with your renamed images, you will need to open Swype.apk back up and go to assets-> and delete the original keyboards folder. After deleting, move your keyboards folder with your images under assets.
Swype is now edited with your keyboards how you want them!!
Fourth Step:
The only thing left is either adb push Swype.apk to system/app or place on sd card and install with astro,ez,etc.
Another way that is very easy and the way I do it. If you are using a theme, open up on your desktop with winrar. Go to folder system/app and place Swype.apk in app folder. Now flash from recovery and your new and improved swype is ready for action.
I have attached what I made mine look like. Some people may not like how basic it looks and how some of the things are not sized or off correctly but I like it and it works!!
I also added a picture of my custom dropdown which I made in Gimp. If you would like to know how to do one like this send me a PM.
And if you have any questions, feel free to ask. I may not be the best at explaining things thoroughly !

I have been getting a lot of PM asking how to edit swype ...
Are my instructions to complicated? If so, let me know and I will try to revise them a bit and sorry!

Nah it's cool man. I mean i get it. idk about everyone else. I haven't got around to trying it yet but this lets me know what to expect.

Ok well that is good! Thanks for the reply...
I hope that post didn't come off as rude, if you sent me a PM I more than willing to help everyone! I just wanted to make sure it wasn't bad instructions ...

Dude this is really nice, I like how you changed the letters to diferent font. Nice job! You should make some more!

Thanks man! Like I said since this was my personal one I didn't go all out and it was kind of sloppy but it suits me fine.
I was thinking about it but not sure what people would want! If some people gave me some ideas of what kind of background or font, I would have no problem making it for them.
Now that I know how to do it (with your help) it won't be as painful as before, just time consuming.

I'm not a user of Swype but I certainly commend the effort that you put into this. It came out great.

Thank you!

This is GREAT!! Thank you for putting this together.

Your are welcome! Let me know if you have any questions!

Just so everyone is clear, the Swype.apk attached to post is the original swype, not my customized one . Because that is what you have to edit.
Just so no one gets confused.

Thank you for this help. I've wanted to be able to change the way mine looked but have been stuck trying to find someone else's work that suited. I've just started modifying mine and what I've got looks awful but that's because I need to learn how to utilize the imaging programs better. I'm sure I can get it and thank you again for the starter.

[MOD] Unthrottle your myTouch 4G !

Came across this post in the CM7 forums, thought you'd all want to take a look.
WARNING/DISCLAIMER : By applying this mod, you are going against the contract you signed when you purchased the device. I, akuria, nor anyone of the XDA or CM7 forums will be held responsible for any repercussions you may be hit with by T-Mobile, or any service provider you have chosen for not honoring your contract.
Layman's terms: your fault, not ours. Good luck.
Note: Apply this BEFORE being throttled! Do NOT Flash another ROM while over the limit, or you will be throttled! (Unless you edit the classes.dex BEFORE flashing the ROM. )
Step One:
Okay, find your current rom on your pc (the zip file) and open it with your favorite extractor (winrar is nice)(dictionary - I think 7zip is the best)
Step Two:
Go to the system/framework folder and extract services.jar file onto your desktop.
Step Three:
Now open services.jar and extract classes.dex to the desktop. Cut and paste classes.dex to your sdk/tools folder.
Step Four:
Now, download smali and baksmali.jar from link. Rename them smali.jar and baksmail.jar for easier typing later. Cut and paste those two into the SDK/tools folder also.
Step Five:
Open your command prompt and cd (change directory) to sdk/tools folder. Then type this exactly (without the quotes: "java -jar baksmali.jar -o classout/ classes.dex". Look at your sdk/tool folder... that should have created a folder called classout. Open it until you find your files.
Step Six:
Locate the 7 files with "throttleservices" in the title. Delete them! Now type this into command prompt: "java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar classout/ -o new-classes.dex". That should repack your edited files and create a file called new-classes.dex...
Step Seven:
Cut and paste the new-classes.dex to your desktop and rename it classes.dex.
Step Eight:
Open your services.jar (that should be on the desktop) with winrar (or whatever)(dictionary - again, try/use 7zip) and click add file. Add the classes.dex file from your desktop. It might ask you to replace it or save or not (it will depend on your extractor).
Step Nine:
After you edited your services.jar, copy and paste it to your tools folder. Connect your phone via usb cable to the pc.
Step Ten:
Boot into clockwork recovery. In the clockwork menu, make sure you go to mounts and storage and click mount /system before this next step.
Step Eleven:
Now, open the command prompt from your pc again, and cd to sdk/tools folder (if you are already there, you can skip this step! Good for you).
Step Twelve:
Now type "adb push services.jar /system/framework/". Reboot your phone and enjoy!

The Desire Z seemed to have a similar method that worked out for them.. so this is tryable.

If it works, great. i dont see how it could though. For throttling to be phone controlled like this, I dont think it would be in AOSP roms, only the t-mo stock rom.

Holy hell I haven't seen you in forever gonna take a crack at this anyway.. got throttled last night and its not fun

That would be awesome if it did work though, tmobile would start sending out nasty messages like I hear at&t does if you use too much data.

Try it. Worse case is you waste a few minutes. Best case - it works. Just doesn't make sense to me. That doesn't mean it wont work.

If someone can incorporate this into a rom update it would be the ****

It is not service driven. It is sim driven at the tower level.
I spoke with a tech who works and owns a tower in Allen, TX. He stated it is done by software at the tower level that gets uploaded every 12 hours to your account. Some towers go quicker than others but that hacking your phone that way will not work.

no way around this. it was a g1 thing and a g2 thing. it was fixed on their side long ago. Sorry to disappoint

i have a good friend of mine that works for tmobile and he's not a salesman either... he says theres no way around the throttle from the phones end.. it has more to do with the network_towers_etc.. than it does the phone... yea i know it sucks i think i get throttled every damn month... n e ways... never hurts to try..

This should be removed. We figured this out long ago. There is no patch no mod no thing. Sorry guy.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

i havent tried this method, but i can def tell u that taking off the throttle works from first hand, CK had the mod incorporated into his older rom, the only reason he didnt keep it was cause it caused force closes on the network setting. i was at 7 gigs and wasnt throttled, its never guaranteed but it doesnt hurt to try, theres actually an easier way of changing the setting, i dont remember how tho, but theres an older thread somewhere in here that talks about it, or if your still interested in it, hit him up. his name is ckisgen, that guy is a beast when it comes to roms and knows about the throttling. bottom line, just like some of u have been sayin. "never hurts to try." hope this helps.
ps. if he doesnt respond(cause he's always busy, pm me or somethin, and ill be happy to help u try n find the other way. )

Just talked to him:
didn't seem like it for most .. but i couldnt' use it cos you have to apply it before you get throttled
27:44
is only supposedly keeps your phone from reporting to the tmob servers that your device needs to be throttled
27:44
the actual throttling happens server side

[Q] UCLD2 leak email.apk without Exchange security features?

I know with Gingerbread there were some email.apk files floating around (not gmail) that removed the security enforcement on Exchange servers, such as requiring a PIN or password to lock the phone, remote wipe, etc. Has anyone done this on the latest leak? I ran the first leak we got, and the email.apk app interface was different than the one in UCLD2. I can make the edits myself but I cannot get the .apk to compile, so I come to you guys for assistance.
Thanks

Give this a shot..Exchange worked for me:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.enterprise.dmagent
But then again I am using XWLP4 GT-I9100 build
I can send you the APKs when I get home.

From what I can read, that app just allows the policies (from Google Apps, it seems).
Basically the process for GB (and ICS I'm pretty sure) is to pull the email.apk from /system/app/ folder, unpack it with apk tool, modify a SMALI file (which I can do just fine), recompile the .apk and push to phone. The modification to the SMALI file is to always return "policy enabled" when asking for certain permissions, such as remote wipe enabled, PIN lock enabled, etc.

Somebody had mentioned to me once to try that for Exchange. In any case the APKs I have work flawlessly. Email.apk and Exchange.apk. Theyre on my dev machine so when I get there ill send them to you

Hmm, the apk files you have, are they modified or simply pulled from UCLD2? I can pull just fine, I just cannot compile.
The edit I am making is similar to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775007
But obviously on the latest leak's email.apk. It looks different than any other ICS email.apk.
When I try to compile on my own, I get an error similar to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23909183&postcount=5
I will try one of the thread's suggestions in using the latest aapt.exe file, but I haven't made any progress on it I'd like to contribute to the forum by providing this fixed apk file though lol

Theyre pulled from GT I9100 build XWLP4. Exchange policy support out of the box
Ill upload in 10 minutes.
EDIT : i think i misread your post in a rush. Are you looking for APKs that dont require device admin priveleges? Trying to bypass allowing the exchange server control?

Oh, no... all of the existing email.apk files do have exchange policy support... the issue is preventing the policies. I don't want to have to use a PIN to unlock my phone, but my exchange admin requires it, and it forces my phone to use it. Same with remote wiping.
The hack I am trying to do (or find if someone already did) would be to always say the phone is utilizing these features, when in reality it is not.
EDIT: Caught your edit. Yes, exactly.

Aha. Sorry about that. Misread it in class. Ill play around with it if i can.

I know exactly where to make the edit, at least for the PIN/Password requirement, but not for the remote wipe/anything else.
I just can't get the stupid thing to recompile.

If you want, you can PM me the file along with the necessary edits; I will edit/recompile/resign it for you.

Hi all - any progress on the email.apk and exchange.apk files from ICS being altered and shared, without exchange policies governing?
Many thanks.

I think all rared up it's around 2.5gb. At this point in time. Of course over the next few months it will continue to get larger and larger. So I'm eventually going to have to categorize everything in sections. But it's a process.

Ok the MD5 Hash for the Newb pack is: 6FE5D348EEEFC66ACA359F51F330540A
Thanks for the heads up.

Seeding the torrent on my box for the next 60 days. Great package!

I did something like this and it got moved to General.
Swyped from the 4th Galaxy on XDA Premium.

Thank's for seeding! Keeping good torrents isn't hard to do if everyone plays there role!
I will continue to update it with more useful tools as they become available. I'll upload a new torrent with all the new stuff in a rar. And I make sure I paraphrase in layman terms sot that even the newest of the new should have no issue
And to take it even farther I plan on having a few rar's that will be for certain sections if they wouldn't need the others for some reason.
Simplifying everything down into about 5 to 10 folders root, pseudo roms, Roms, tools for debloating, an xposed folder,odin and recovering, and eventually in the very new future, custom recoveries, Full on Roms, kernels.... etc the possibilities are endless.
Simple for us but if someone had never dealt with android before it is no walk in the park. But that's why I am here putting out simplified packages with organized and easy to follow instructions.
The number one concern is getting our damn boot loader out of att jail, after that its all gravy. when I get some more time I will start making a guide on everything anyone should know about the galaxy s4 and what tools are available and what devs we have working on them and what the future holds for us with the Gs4. It's going to be a lot of work but it will cut down on a lot of flaming and ignorant questions.
P.s. On storage cow... The link for newb pack says its 0 kb just ignore it and it will download fine its about 2.7gb.
And also thanks for support.

Thank you for the n00b pack! I just got my new S4 ATT phone the other day and was looking around to see what I could do to it.
Took me a bit to find the torrent for this pack, but I did. The link in the OP points to a Torrent file that is no longer used. Instead, use the following link:
http://thepiratebay.sx/torrent/8503670
I will be seeding this torrent as well for as long as I can.
Thank you very much for putting it all together and I can't wait to see what I can do to this and with this phone.

[Q] APKTool and Candy Crush

Hi
This is my first post and I hope that I have posted to the write forum!
I have a rooted Note II phone and I pulled the Candy crush APK down to my PC.
I have decompiled the APK and compiled the APK and signed the APK. I have copied the new APK down to the phone, installs OK but runs it stays on the Home Page and crashes.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong, I have not change anything just decompiling and compiling /signing and testing.
This is what I have done so far:
1. APKTOOL d Candy.apk
2. APKTOOL b Candy Candy2.apk
3. java -jar SignApk.jar testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 Candy2.apk Clash2Signed.apk
4. Copied to phone, installed OK but stays on the home page.
Where am I going wrong?
Thanks
Paul

if it is an app with online functions, may be failing a signature check since the original developers signature is replaced.

What are you trying to do? Hack it for 1000 lives, 200 moves, no tickets and slow timer?

Yes thank you.
I think I have found the problem but still seeking a solution, looking at the log file I am seeing the following error:
E/FictionFactory( 9936): Trying to seek in a file which probably is compressed! This is not possible. Either remove the seeking or add the file to the list of extensions which should not be compressed.
Any ideas?

Look at the original apk and your new one, and make sure anything that isn't compressed in the original is not compressed in the new one as well. I've seen issues like this come up w/ .ogg files in the /res/raw/ directory, but it could exist anywhere really.

Thank you finally got it to work!!!
The issue was pretty straight forward, all the tutorials that I have seen have always steered me decompile, compile and sign which has not worked for me so far.
The way I got around this was to add my changes to the original APK file, resign it and hey it worked.
