soft keyboard in landscape mode needs to be toggled on 2x the first time you open it.
Post any Bugs, issues, or ideas here please
Updates:
Changed Search UI so that it is no longer its own activity. This will allow the user to back out of the search box and still use the switcher on the bottom to switch between search, browse, and terminal.
Replaced pop up in search box with Search hint.
Corrected the trackball from defaulting to control key when changing Terminal prefs. Basically it will allow it to work as the enter key again after changing preferences.
Current users will have to change the preferences the first time they update in order to correct the issue if you previously had it.
menu> preferences> command key: select something other than jog ball

I'm using SUFBS with nk02's ION Multilanguage v4 (HTC Magic) and when I make a long press on files or folders SUFBS always crash, don't know if it's my phone or ROM.
Not that this matters but for some reason this is named "SU File Manager & Terminal" in my market. It wouldn't find it under "SU File Browser & Terminal" just so you know.

I just use "Barcode Scanner" -- it's for shopping but it opens URL's and stuff also. There's probably a better one.
Side note: I don't buy apps. I use the free alternatives.
[Edit] Sorry, meant to post this here.
Numbers in Terminal
I am trying to use the terminal feature of this app to install RAv latest. I can input all the letter characters needed, but for some reason the numbers will not register in terminal (using better keyboard)

This is a pretty easy process. I went in to Root Explorer - dbdata - databases - com.android.providers.settings, copied settings.db to my sd card, edited it on my pc with a db editor changed 0 to a 1 next to non market apps. Copied it back to the original directory, rebooted and installed a non market app.
Please use caution. If you want to make sure the db save properly open it on your sd card before you copy and replace the original. It should open up as a readable table. If it opens up in a txt editor its corrupt. This permanently enables non market apps. You can not toggle it on and off.
I will try and post pictures soon.

Does it mean th after this you are able to install any 3rd party application with no restrictions?
Thanks
You can actually do it through firefox too. There's a firefox addon called 'SQLite manager' that you can use to edit the file, if you don't want to download a separate program.
Root Explorer is the pay program on the market? Any free alternitives?
Are you just trying to install non-market apps on the Captivate? If so, then just download the usb driver for the Captivate and then Droid Explorer (may also need SDK installed; not sure). With Droid Explorer, you can easily load non-market apps within seconds. Good solution for a non tech guy like me.
Being brand spanking new to Android, still have question. I like very specific instructions.
Do you download files to whatever directory you want to make and put the files in? Then is there an option to select, and do install? My background is WinMO, so on that you can just use a file explorer and double click or tap, and it installs.

So if I installed "PDAnet" for tethering it will work after rooting?
Thanks for the answer
PDA Net will work without rooting. Just put your phone on airplane mode and enable wifi. Go to the market and download it. Once it is downloaded you can turn off airplane mode and you're good to go.

Where do you see the 0, the one you recommend to change to a 1? I only see lots of squares.
So... Thank you so much for this info. I downloaded your file and put it into the correct DIR and have non market apps installing with no problem. However I can not get Titanium backup to work correctly. =/ When I try to restore an app it says installing and I have to force close titanium to get it to stop. Probably about half the apps I try and do this for install the other backups do not. Is any one else having any issues like this or know how to fix it?

When into this dir dbdata - databases - com.android.providers.settings and cant find any files. Using linda
I used this DB editor instead
http://sqlitestudio.one.pl/index.rvt
connect to the settings.db file, on the left side click Tables, and then click Secure. It will show a grid on the right with _id, name, value etc. Click the Data tab, in the search box type market. And there should be only one value that shows up as "install_nonmarket_apps". Set the value to one. Refersh it and then copy it back to your phone.

After asking around, I determined there was some interest in a simple, mostly-stock ROM based on the official HTC Sense/Froyo v3.26.605.1 release with only essential changes made; so I decided to go ahead and create one.
ROM Details:
Based entirely off the off the the official HTC Sense/Froyo v3.26.605.1 release (pulled from signed RUU); which is being rolled out by Verizon via OTA as the final build.
Moved some stock applications to /data/app, so they can easily be removed. To be clear, these apps remain enabled but can now be optionally removed using any Android uninstaller, rather than having to do it manually. This includes: App Sharing, Adobe Flashplayer, Car Panel, Flashlight, GenieWidget, PDFViewer, Quickoffice, Teeter, My Verizon, 3G Hotspot and YouTube.
All apps placed in /data/app by the ROM will be automatically restored after a date wipe or factory reset (a special feature of this ROM). These apps can be freely uninstalled via Settings->Applications or the uninstaller of your choice. Note: They will return when the ROM is re-installed or upgraded.
Disabled applications which the majority seems to agree are bloat, unneeded or can installed from the Market. This includes: Amazon MP3, City ID, HTC Footprints/Widget, VZ Navigator, Skype. If you decide you would like to use any of these apps, the APKs are available in the "system/virtuous" directory.
Numerous customization options via ROM Manager, such as Virtuous' EZ-Customizer which allows removal of more stock apps without the use of adb or shell, status bar mods provided by pmf, Incredible Revolution theme and more.
Automatic Virtuous OTA upgrade notification and installation via ROM Manager.
Minor theme modifications to remove GPS locator icon in the status bar and add transparency to the notification pull down menu. Thanks to pardonmyfreedom (aka pmf) and aiccucs for doing the work.
Added the Busybox installer application to allow upgrades as they become available. When running the installer, make sure to select /system/xbin as the destination.
Updated Adobe Flash to the official release provided to N1 users via the Market.
Updated Google Search and Google Voice Search to the latest Market versions.
Updated Gmail 2.2.1. The default ROM includes 2.2, so this is a minor upgrade to the latest version available.
Audio fixes to correct slow playback ("devil voices") of Flash videos on certain sites.
Removed startup "Drooooooid" sound. It was annoying.
Added the bash shell for those who work in adb or ssh into their phones. Just run "bash" to use it (it is not the default shell for compatibility reasons).
Removed cdrom.iso to avoid being prompted to install Verzion/HTC hardware when the device is connected via USB.
Installation:
You must be rooted, have nand unlocked and be running a 2.x radio. Follow dadicus' guide for details on how to perform these steps.
Perform a nandroid backup of your current ROM, in case you change your mind or encounter issues.
If you are coming from another completely stock ROM (i.e. Sense 2.1 or 2.2), you may not have to wipe data. I obviously recommend wiping data (since it will eliminate any possibly bad/stale configuration), but the update script will not do so automatically during installation. Use your best judgement to determine what works best for you.
Wipes are NOT required for any upgrade to/from any 2.x version of the ROM; downgrades are a different story.
Apply the zip via Clockwork Recovery. It has not been tested with any other recovery.
Expect the first boot to take anywhere from 6-10 minutes. Subsequent reboots should be significantly quicker.
Disclaimer
As with any modification (ROM, patch, etc), you run the risk of damaging your device. While unlikely, it is important to consider this possibility before proceeding. I take no responsibility for any such damage, data loss or otherwise.
Download ROM Here
(Changelog)
Hboot Upgrade Instructions
As of Virtuous 3.2.0, hboot 0.92 is now required. This hboot shipped with the original Froyo OTA for the Incredible.
Download this file and place it at root of your sdcard.
Boot into the bootloader. There are several ways to do this. If you are already booted into Android, use Quickboot and select the Bootloader option. You can also use adb by typing "adb reboot bootloader". Or, simply power down the device. Once it is off, hold the volume down button and then press power.
Once in the bootloader, select the first option from the menu "bootloader". You should see a progress bar on the right side of the screen. If you do not, you did not perform step #1 correctly or your sdcard is not formatted FAT32.
You will then be prompted to confirm flashing boot, bootloader and recovery. Hit volume up to confirm and then reboot.
At this point hboot is upgraded. I recommend reinstalling Virtuous (either via ROM Manager or manually) just to be safe.

Thanks for this rom! I want to install footprints. I've tried with root explorer r/w on and off as well as astro. I've put the files in sytem/app, tried from disabled folder and even the sd card. It always goes through the install process correctley but always ends with
"application not installed". Any suggestions? Thanks

you will probably have to push it through recovery with adb. I have noticed that if I use root explorer to add things to system/app they usually will not work for some reason, and the only way it will is through recovery or if I make a small flashable zip file.
Thank you! The app works but the widget does not?
Rmk, you just released it and a newer leak showed up today. Are you by chance going to mod the new one as well with your touches?
Haha, this awesome. Right after u get done with the work A new leak is released. Regardless this is very much appreciated.

Since that's an HTC app, you'll need to do that via recovery. Boot into recovery, adb shell, mount /system and go ahead and copy/move the files.

Updated to base on today's 3.21.605.1 OTA.
Got home to a pleasant surprise! Got 2.0 flashed, and got a quadrant score of ~1300. Flashed KiNgxKernel BFS #1 and jumped my quadrant up to ~1600 running at 1113mhz. Also got solid 36s in linpack.
Ty for throwing this together. Was exactly what I was looking for! Even down to the boot animation sound. Gotta figure out how to change the boot animation still... kinda new to this.
Anyway, solid work. Keep us posted if anything new shows up.
Is bump charging still needed or does the phone finally charge properly?
I've edited this post way too much and now it's a mess, sorry. There are 2 methods that can be used to install the modified Flash that tricks Hulu into thinking our phones are computers running Windows. Depending on your ROM, one or the other may be easier. Please see the ps/pps at the bottom.
I was helping my cousin setup his new Evo and it seems that some of their ROMs include a working Hulu. It turns out that it's easy to fix, just swap a single file and change your UA string. Here are the steps I followed to get Hulu to work on my Captivate running Cognition 2.3b6. I don't see why it wouldn't work for anyone running Froyo/GB. I'm currently using this with Apex 7.
You need two files, a Hulu.apk that seems to simply launch the stock Browser preconfigured with the desktop settings and an edited Flash library file the attached flash apk. As an alternative to the Hulu.apk you can also use Dolphin or any browser that you can configure with a desktop UA string. In fact, that may be preferable, but this way is fewer steps
Instructions
Method 1, replace the library file
Update Flash to current Market version (11.1.111.5)
Extract libflashplayer.so from libflashplayer.so.zip attached to this post
Copy libflashplayer.so to /sdcard
Copy libflashplayer.so from /sdcard to /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib using root explorer, adb, or a terminal. I recommend making an extra copy of the modified libflashplayer.so in case it's replaced on reboot.
Make sure the permissions for libflashplayer.so are rwxr-xr-x (chmod 755).
Method 2, replace the app
Update Flash to current Market version (11.1.111.5)
Copy the attached file com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk to /sdcard
Copy com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk from /sdcard to /data/app using root explorer, adb, or a terminal. I recommend backing up the old com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk (rename to com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk.bak or something) before copying the new file. If your current file doesn't have the -1 then you can just leave that part out...
Make sure the permissions for com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk are rw-r--r-- (chmod 644 or User=Read/Write, Group and Others=Read in Root Explorer).
Reboot the phone so the new flashplayer will be installed
Install the Hulu.apk linked above
Run the new Hulu program
See if you can load a video. You can get better quality by following a link to the full Hulu site.
Notes
If you have an issue with slowed-down audio ("demon voices"), try another ROM (like Paragon or Apex) or the stagefright from this thread in the Infuse 4G. Be careful with this, I haven't tested it and, while someone reported success with it, someone got boot loops after flashing it.
I've had the best luck using the full site, full screen at the 288p setting. Framerate isn't great on the higher quality settings with my setup.
The Hulu program doesn't always exit properly. To make it stop playing you can open Browser and load a page, that seems to interrupt Hulu.
If it doesn't look like anything is happening, try zooming in and out. Once the video starts playing you should be able to see it normally.
Be patient while it's loading. Try not to click on the window while it's showing ads.
If the video isn't loading when using a regular browser, try clicking the arrow next to "Share this video".
I was going to test these instructions again, but I don't have time right now. I think these are the steps that worked for me Good luck!
ps. I followed GGXtreme's lead and created an apk that'll keep it working through reboots. The instructions now reflect this.
I've left the old instructions (the ones with the line through them) here in case anyone prefers to do it that way, but I'll probably remove them once people indicate the apk is working for them. I plan to update the apk when there's a new Market version of flash.
pps. I'm not sure which is the easiest way anymore, there are too many differences between ROMs. I've added just the modified .so file zipped up as an attachment. If swapping the apk doesn't work, try using the original directions after unzipping the .so file. Please note that the zip is just a compressed file, it can't be flashed in CWM. For what's it's worth, the lib file isn't being replaced on reboot on my current ROM (Apex 9).
hmmmm, worked until i rebooted my phone.
Gonna try copying the libflashplayer.so and doing the chmod again.
kinda worked so far.

I've had the best luck using the full site, full screen at the 288p setting. Framerate isn't great on the higher quality settings with my setup.
The Hulu program doesn't always exit properly. To make it stop playing you can open Browser and load a page, that seems to interrupt Hulu.
If it doesn't look like anything is happening, try zooming in and out. Once the video starts playing you should be able to see it normally.
Be patient while it's loading. Try not to click on the window while it's showing ads.
If the video isn't loading when using a regular browser, try clicking the arrow next to "Share this video".
I was going to test these instructions again, but I don't have time right now. I think these are the steps that worked for me Good luck!

thanks trying now.
So, i got it to load the first 5 seconds or so of the video through the hulu app. Then it kicks you out. no fc. just kicks you back to the home screen. I was using Axuara b4. Gonna try this next with di11igafs 1.0 rom
maybe you could share what rom you were using to get this accomplished on. that might help with being able to recreate this
CONFIRMED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Confirmed working, plus pic of the new Simpsons episode!

WOOT!
so, I am running Di11igaf's Rom ver 1.0 with setiron 1.4.2 1200 kernel.
I couldn't get it to work on Axuara beta4, or beta5 rom. sorry all, maybe someone else can figure it out.
but works!
Followed the directions above and got it to work for me on Cognadian Bacon B4. I had to change the settings to the 288p for it to work. It kept freezing up until I changed it.
Cog'd Perception or Cog'd 2.3b6 depending on my need for flash addiction
holy crap! def gonna do this now!
okay, so ran into a snag. but working it out with di11igaf's help
it seems on reboot that the libflashplayer.so the modified version gets copied over by something back to the original.
So, trying to work out an init.c script or something to rewrite the file, and chmod it back to where it needs to be.
I will probably post a new thread when I have it working correctly.
Thank you for trying this out guys.
works!, but same problem when I reboot
Do you need a hulu plus account for this?

Why not just download Dolphin HD, and change the user agent to Desktop? Does this offer some features that wouldn't.

noope, sure don't.
I am getting closer to having this work after reboot. Im playing with baking in the hulu app into a rom so I can use the pm uninstall/install shell commands to remove and reinstall app every start up.
its much closer than a couple days ago

the dolphin hd browser will work only after you move the hex edited libflashplayer.so. At that point hulu checks the flash version and it reports back desktop, as well as the UA string in the browser should work as well.
it has to be the combination of the both of them
Ah, I think its built into my Tom, and I took it for granted that it would work for everyone.

On mine the voice is garbled like slow motion, but the other sounds come through no idea why......
Confirmed works but...
I didn't have to download the Flash to current Market version (10.1.106.15). My Captivate with Cognition 2.3b8 and 2.2 firmware was already flash ready.
I was able to shell into phone: note: after adb shell and at $ prompt, when you type "su" at the shell prompt, you need to look at your phone (popup asking for permission) - click allow and your good to go.
Once in, I cd to /sdcard and found the libflashplayer.so I placed there earlier.
I renamed old file /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so to libflashplayer.so.bak as noted in the instructions with this command - mv /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so.bak
Problem: After changing the old files name, I could not move the new file with the following command: mv /sdcard/libflashplayer.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib
I received cross-devise link error. This may be a permission error, don't know.
I could not move the file no matter what I did.
Solution: I shelled into Captivate as su, chmod 777 /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib directory(this will prevent the following push command below from being denied because of permissions)
On your PC, put the libflashplayer.so file where your adb executable resides.
Then: from the same folder enter - adb push libflashplayer.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib
This pushes the file where you need it
Once file is confirmed in place, I- chmod 755 /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib to revert directory permissions to original
You may have to (chown system libflashplayer.so) because the file once pushed shows owned by shell vs system.
In summary: I only had to put one file on my Captivate, the libflashplayer.so at the top of this thread . I used Dolphin HD and set agent to PC.
It works.
Note: In first trials I had to click the arrow next to "Share this video".
I read the only way to set resolution to 288 is create an account and set your settings within your Hulu accnt. That way when you login from your Droid optimum settings are already set.
Cheers
Does it work after reboot? Also sometimes it didn't play for me just commercial after commercial after commercial but never the show

No it does not - I tried to chmod 555 the libflashplayer.so to prevent writable and left the owner and group as shell. The OS still overwrites it every time upon reboot.
I don't reboot that often but if I were to go on a trip I could survive several days or more without a reboot. This would be enough justification to push the flash file and benefit from it for the time being.
I think I'll install a shell program on the droid and leave a backup of the file in the /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib folder. That way I can shell in right from the droid and mv libflashplayer.so.bak libflashplayer.so
This way I can reboot and run the droid shell program and arrow up to get the last command. Just thinking out loud. Cheers
Update: A simple terminal emulator and a backup of the libflashplayer.so solution above worked. I rebooted, used the terminal emulator to go to the directory and overwrote libflashplayer.so with my backup file. Done -
It works and everything I need for Hulu is on my droid no matter how many times I reboot.
The emulator I chose was free from market named Android Terminal Emulator by Jack Palevich. It's quite clean.
I can install a different keyboard (SmartKeyboard Pro in my case) - but can't seem to activate (usually android setting menu needs to be ticked to allow new input method - and Nook does not seem to expose that menu)
Any clues or sqldb commands to tweak this are welcome.
Hey, I managed to load SmartKeyboardPro on mine.
Here are the steps I did:
1. Rename smartkeyboard apk to: LatinIME.apk
2. Put this apk on your SDCard
3. Use RootExplorer, or another file manager with root access, and move the LatinIME.apk out of system\apps.
4. Make sure you save the system LatinIME.apk in case you want to revert back to it.
5. Now copy your renamed LatinIME.apk to system\apps and long press on it to install.
6. You may have to reboot a few times and try reinstalling the renamed LatinIME.apk a few times for it to work.
It took me a few reboots to get it to work.
Good luck.
Your instructions for installing Smart Keyboard Pro worked for me. Just had to install the English dictonay for it and I was good to go.
One note, you can get to the Smart Keyboard Pro settings by long pressing on the ?123 key. You can then customize it to your liking.
I miss the haptic feedback, but the sound feedback works just fine.
Sent from my Nook Color
did u do anything in particular to enable it? what did u name the english files? i rebooted too many times to count and installed 3 times. no dice tho.
I just dropped the keyboard apk's into the system/app folder, changed their permissions to rw-r--r--, and then removed latinIME.apk (i did back it up first of course). When I did that, Android seemed to panic but after a reboot both keyboards were available through keyboard manager.

When I change the permissions they don't "stick".
Hmmm...interestingly enough I also can't seem to copy anything into the system/app folder, even though I do have superuser (using Root Explorer).
ETA: Turns out my issue was the version of Root Explorer I was using...I found one that works correctly and allows me to mount as RW and now things are working.
So anyone managed to get Swype installed? I installed SmartKeyboard pro but I really think this keyboard would work better one handed with swype.
I hate to be that guy but does anyone have an original NC backed up LatinIME.apk?
I have gotten the Droid X multi touch keyboard to work on my NC by replacing the stock LatinIME.apk as described above. It works pretty well except the actual letters on the keys are pretty small. Screenshots below. Anyone know what needs to be done to make the text a little bigger?

In other news. I got Thumb Keyboard to work when replaced as LatinIME.apk It seems only the Large phone layout works well and displays all the keys in both portrait and landscape view. I think it's pretty usable.
Hrm. I'm not having any luck with the HTC_MOD keyboard (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=663608).
Such a shame, I really like it compared to the stock Nook one.
What other keyboards have people gotten to work?

My Permission changes aren't sticking either. What version of Root Explorer did you finally use to make it work? I've got 2.12.2.

I got the DroidX keyboard working, but the letters, as another poster noted, are kinda small. Not really a problem for me, since I touch-type, but I can see it being a problem when switching to the ?123 page.
I think we need a new thread to discuss the possibility of Swype on the NC. We are not allowed to post Swype APKs, but I think we're allowed to discuss its installation.
I've tried the LatinIME.apk procedure with Swype, but I consistently get "Installing..." then "Application not installed." I'm wondering if we also need libswype, as this thread mentions: goo.gl/5ag4q

post #8
i have both swift keyboard and smart keyboard trial working on my NC. this method doesn't require you to overwrite LatinIME.apk. instead, it modifies the settings database in the same way that choosing the input method in the settings would in a normal android installation. as usual, i accept no responsibility if this messes up your nook. use at your own risk. obviously, your NC must be rooted first.
for smart keyboard trial: version 3.10.1 worked for me, but that's the only one i tried. maybe other versions will work?
Code:
$ adb install "Smart Keyboard Trial_v3.10.1.apk"
$ adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db
at this point, make a copy of settings.db as a backup!
Code:
$ sqlite3 settings.db
sqlite> update secure set value='com.android.inputmethod.latin/.LatinIME:net.cdeguet.smartkeyboardtrial/.SmartKeyboard' where name='enabled_input_methods';
sqlite> update secure set value='net.cdeguet.smartkeyboardtrial/.SmartKeyboard' where name='default_input_method';
sqlite> .q
$ adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
$ adb reboot
as a previous poster mentioned, hold down the 123 key to access the settings.
for swift keyboard: version 1.0.951 worked for me, but that's the only one i tried. maybe other versions will work?
Code:
$ adb install "SwiftKey_v1.0.951.apk"
$ adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db
at this point, make a copy of settings.db as a backup!
Code:
$ sqlite3 settings.db
sqlite> update secure set value='com.android.inputmethod.latin/.LatinIME:com.touchtype.swiftkey/.KeyboardService' where name='enabled_input_methods';
sqlite> update secure set value='com.touchtype.swiftkey/.KeyboardService' where name='default_input_method';
sqlite> .q
$ adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
$ adb reboot
for swift, hold down the microphone button to access settings.
this method might work with other keyboards, as long as you can successfully install the apk. note that the enabled_input_methods column is a colon separated list of available input methods. i got the proper strings for the input methods by examining settings.db on my android phone. hope this helps!
edit: if you want to revert back to the original keyboard, do this:
Code:
$ adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db
$ sqlite3 settings.db
sqlite> update secure set value='com.android.inputmethod.latin/.LatinIME' where name='default_input_method';
sqlite> .q
$ adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
$ adb reboot
You can also just push over whatever keyboard apk into /system/app, and (after a reboot) the enabled_input_methods record will automatically update to include the new keyboard.
You'll still have to change the default keyboard manually through settings.db though as described in Ben74's above post. Just don't forget the where clause, otherwise you'll wind up rewriting every record in the secure table (I assume most of you aren't as careless as I am, but you never know ). Do a quick "select * from secure;" statement if you want to make sure you the changes you made are correct.
Alternatively, you can use the Keyboard Manager app described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=860377. FYI, it works really well on the NC and allows you choose between different installed keyboards on a whim. (Only glitch is it will sometimes freeze the screen if the keyboard is up while changing orientation, but you can easily unfreeze it by going back to the previous orientation.)
Oh, forgot to mention, SlideIt (demo) works perfectly on the Nook Color. Once you update the enabled_input_methods record to include it, you can just install it as a regular (non-system) app, and it works fine. The value for the SlideIt keyboard in the secure table is, "com.dasur.slideit.vt.lite/com.dasur.slideit.SlideITIME" (without the quotes, obviously). Unfortunately, there's no easy way to install the paid version of SlideIt since it uses the LVL.
Also, like was mentioned, Thumb Keyboard works well on the NC. The value for Thumb Keyboard in the secure table is, "com.beansoft.keyboardplus/.SoftKeyboard" (again, no quotes).
Now included in my unity theme, available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12057423
Hey guys, just starting some to theme some system apps for an upcoming project of mine (unityMOD, basically trying to bring some unity, in this case dark blacks, to the OS to match the hardware etc) and I thought some people might like to see my Camera.apk theme.
I always found the weird grey and black speckled background weird, so I changed it to black and changed a few buttons, outlines etc. I think it looks quite nice personally, so I thought I'd just share it

Use volume and power to select 'choose zip from sdcard'
Find the .zip file you placed earlier

Downloads
[CM7]
Camera.apk
CM7Camera.zip
[Stock/Axura/MoDaCo - thanks Master]
CameraGoogle.apk
StockAxuraCameraGoogle.zip
Master™ has made a white version of this, available here
Notes
[CM7 Based ROMs] If you are having troubles actually seeing the changes after successfully applying Camera.apk, make sure you are using the System theme in Theme Chooser.
[General] If you are having issues, check and see if you are using the correct download version. Stock ROMs and Axura use CameraGoogle.apk and CM7 (possibly others?) use Camera.apk. I will try and make this irrelevant in my update.zip, but for now just take note.
I'm using Axura 1.1.2.0 and the camera app just FC's.
Probably because of the ROM.
I'll try tomorrow sometime when I load up CM7 or something.
Looks fantastic, though!
I love simple black on this phone. It is absolutely gorgeous.

Thanks for the Axura mention, I haven't personally used it, so I don't know what Master has changed for it. Has he themed Camera.apk at all?

If that doesn't work though don't worry, I have a copy of stock camera to restore if you need.
I can't see why not though, ill see if it works with root enabled ES in a minute.
Edit: ES doesn't seem to like performing operations from /system even with the root option, so just as a test, copy your current Camera.apk to somewhere safe, then delete the one in /system/app. If it lets you, then you should be right to just move my themed Camera.apk in its place.

use root explorer to install apk
1. get the XXX.apk to sdcard
2. open root explorer
3. find the XXX.apk you are wanting to install
4. long press the XXX.apk file and choose copy options (you will see the paste and cancel boxes at bottom of screen)
5. back out to system/app/XXX.apk and paste file
6. long press XXX.apk and change permissions.
These should be checked: (1)User/read, (2)Group/read, (3)Others/read and (4)User/Write
If you get this WARNING. You cannot paste here because the file is read-only. this is ok. Look to the top of screen and you will see line like this. 124.24 used, 379.70mb free r/o [Mount R/W]. Tap the [Mount R/W] colored box so it shows [Mount R/O]. Now try the the paste and the change permission process. When done reboot.

I used root explorer daily when I was flashing nightly builds and this is the way I install boot animations and framework.apk etc. It may be missing one step in the install precess.

I don't flash gapps anymore when on cm rom. I install the themed market, I like this, and go from there. I am confident in the process.
