unable to switch keyboards in rooted nst with nook Color tools

[heathenasparagus]

Hi,

I have rooted NST, installed Any Soft Keyboard from the market as well as pushed a copy in the /system/apps folder.
When trying to use Nook Color Tools to switch the keyboard, it doesn't show that the Any soft keyboard exists.

Any ideas ?

Did you reboot after pushing the apk into /system/apps ?

This is specific to my keyboard app.
Use it as a guide to do your own keyboard thing.

adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db

sqlite3 settings.db
update secure set value='com.android.inputmethod.latin/.LatinIME:com.temblast.nullkbd/.NullKeyboard' where name='enabled_input_methods';
update secure set value='com.android.inputmethod.latin/.LatinIME' where name='default_input_method';
.q

adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

You need to reinstall from the system/app folder once you move them.

Installing from there didn't help.

Enabling multiple IMEs (Input Method Editors) and selecting them is usually part of Settings.apk
If you have the stock Nook Settings.apk this is not included.

The easiest way to enable another IME is using SQLite to modify settings.db in my previous post.

You could also use Settings.apk taken from the Emulator in the SDK.
That would require you to re-sign your entire system with a new signature.
