Great stuff, thanks!

No dont do it through recovery it wont work, it should be there if you unzip it, try renaming the .zip to .apk

any advantages of this over the htc default weather app?
It is much more detailed and it included News as well
Thanks for this. Great app
I want to put stock 2.2 keyboard on desire HD as I'm not a fan of the HTC keyboard.
I tried a linked download from another post on the nexus one forum but it crashes everytime!

I'm also not a fan of the HTC keyboard... Nevertheless I'm a huge fan of this modded HTC keyboard: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/get-the-htc-typing-experience-on-your-g2/
Check it out... The keyboard is *highly* customizable. You can even set custom typing sounds without having full root. Great! because this means we now can have the nice tapping sound of the Windows Phone 7 keyboard on our Désiré HD.

Here you go. I got it from a WP7 dump (the wav is the original, the ogg file is compiled by me). Strangly there's just one sound.. I guess they are modifying this base sample with a algoritm. Don't see how else they can do this: http://blog.seattlepi.com/microsoft/archives/218282.asp
BTW Sounds on the keyboard I refered to are not working on the Desire HD . The developer was so kind to add the source code of the keyboard. I'll see if I can make the sounds work on the DHD
Could you try install this apk and tell me if it works?
note, you'll have to enable android keyboard in the keyboard settings.
as a newbie to android how do you install apk packs is it like a cab file in win mob

yeah it is. you'll need a file explorer on your phone. Get ASTRO from the market. Drop the apk on your SD card, or download directly if you're viewing this from your phone. Then from Astro just locate the apk and launch!
thanks very much

regular install won't work because of a library that google keyboards are depending on. The only way to get this to work is to copy it to your system/app folder. (Of course you need a full root to do that)

Copy the library file, or the keyboard apk?
Teh_Higgins said:

what (also) might work is
a) to install the froyo keyboard the usual way, and
b) to copy the library file libjni_latinime.so (a native c library file that will generate suggestions from a dictionary - faster than a java procedure) to the /system/lib dir. (Attached the library file to this post)
(The FC with the regular installation is caused by the fact that the keyboard can't load the library file. It looks for a native procedure but can't find it)
EDIT: if the attached library file doesn't work, you can also try the one that comes with the apk package (rename x.apk to x.zip and unzip it. In the lib directory you will find the library)
I love ebuddy on android, it's better than the official chinese MSN I posted a few weeks ago but I am sick of silver, white and orange. I am unfamiliar with how to get the apk files from apps installed from the android market.
Could someone, anyone please provide me with the apk file for ebuddy 1.9.1 (the most recent) so I can do some colour variations?
Cheers.

www.developer.android.com
Install the Android SDK, open Command Prompt and write:
Code:
adb devices
adb pull /data/app app
Or if you know the .apk name
Code:
adb pull /data/app/apkname.apk
That will create a new folder called app in your /tools folder with all your apps.
Ah cheers man, done it
will post some colour variations asap.
Any idea why when i repackage the files as a zip then rename as an apk it fails to install?

"drawable-hdpi-v4/chat_orange_back.9.png"

"drawable-hdpi-v4/chat_gray_back.9.png"
here's the zip file, if you can tell me what I've done wrong I'd really appreciate it.
Hmm..I let it compile, but fails to install the apk..
Hope someone much expert than me can help you

Download APKManager and you should be good.
EDIT: Didn't see the answers below mine for some reason ... I'm not at my desktop right now, but if no one has checked it by the time I get hope I'll see if I'm any help.
If you're just changing pngs, try to just extract the apk then zip it when changed. Ie. Don't decompile it
Do this using apkmanager

no idea why your file wont install...
I decompiled a fresh version of ebuddy, compiled back and installed, no probs.
But, for exchanging some png´s only, that´s what I do:
- take a fresh original version (v1.9.1 attached)
- open com.ebuddy.android-1.apk with 7-Zip
- copy/paste new png´s
- close file
- sign
- install

There is a semi easy way:
-Grab your ORIGINAL framework apks that you'll be editing from \system\app
-Use 7zip to extra the apk to a folder and name it something like "TO-BE-MODDED"
-Grab the .apk from a themed version you liked and do the same steps as above but make the directory something like "FROM-MOD"
Within the FROM-MOD folder you'll have a lot of images and XML files... **DO NOT COPY XML FILES**
Transfer all the images to your TO-BE-MODDED folder and overwrite it. You can then .zip up the contents of that folder and change the extension to .apk and overwrite your \system\app .apk by using Root Explorer or adb push
**ONE THING TO KEEP IN MIND IS YOU FACE THE POSSIBILITY OF FC'S IF YOU JACKED SOMETHING UP**
There's also a tool called APK Manager that will use adb pull if you know the apk you need or you can drop the apk in a working folder. It will then extract contents, allow XML to be edited, zip it back up, and even zipalign it
P.S The reason you copy XML files is because they can change colors, links, and behaviour of the ROM and will normally be the culprit for FC's if you overwrite or edit something improperly.

This method will change the base graphics no matter what ROM the theme is based on?
I'd really like to try cognition 4, but I like the Gingermix theme, which is for i9000 roms...
I ported the [THEME] Generation X v1.14 - port [Cognition/FireFly/JL1] boot animation for Cog. that whiteguypl ported into Cognition 3.0 into Cognition 4.1. I didn't add the settings from this theme as I have my own settings but it would be easy to do.

thank you, i know how to load fonts on the phone however i prefer to use whatever is built in. hence why i was asking if there were other fonts available on his theme.
While I have not looked into this version of the theme, there may still be the Sansation font from the original build by D3StRoY & R64.
I've recently moved over from Acer's Liquid E phone to the Samsung Captivate. Nice upgrade, however; the stock app News and Weather is not available on the stock Rogers Rom or the Cognition 4.3 Rom that I have now installed.
I have tried several different apk's, but to no avail. They install, but i get FC's as soon as i try to add the widget to my homescreen.
Does anyone have a solution to to this problem, such as a working apk?
Thanks

You can't install it, you have to place it in the /system/app folder in the new rom (on your phone, replacing the one that doesn't work)
Use root explorer to place it.
Then restart your phone.

Oh so nice! I used Super Manager from the market to move the file from my sd card to the /system/app folder. Super manager was a little quirky to get root permission, but it worked after force closing.
I didn't even have to reboot!
Thanks for your help everyone.
Now I can keep track of each little article about the playoffs -
Boo yaa!
Best news customizable news app that ive found.
Now, how do I mark the thread as solved?
I moved over from the Acer Liquid E as well. While the Captivate is faster, it runs out of RAM faster since the Acer had the full 512mb available to the user and the Captivate only allows about 340mb.
Otherwise the Captivate is an upgrade in every other aspects!
