[Nook Color General] iDidItAll4theNookie:
So at this point I am really happy with my rooted 1.2 nook. While I like the layout and feel of the stock keyboard, I am disappointed with the dictionary and autocorrect. About the only thing it does for me is capitalize the first word of a new sentance. So my question is, what do others here do to get a better keyboard experience? I have tried installing other keyboards on other ROMs before, but the dictionary performance has always been poor. I know there are a few more steps to put a keyboard on the NC rooted.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

SlideIT...like the slightly crappier version of Swype.
[Nook Color General] ylixir:
The gingerbread keyboard.

I really don't understand slideit and swype. no way am i ever gonna "slide" faster with one finger than i can type with 2-10 fingers. Maybe on a 3" screen when there is only room to use one finger...

[Nook Color General] Tool Belt:
How did you get Swift Key working on the rooted 1.2? I am unable to enable or choose it.

Thanks.
[Nook Color General] jpeg42:
I patched this together from various sources... hope it helps!

First make sure it is installed correctly and selected

One way to do it is to use "Root Explorer" and go into the data/app folder find swift key....mount the folder as r/w (button on top of screen in Root Explorer) click on swiftkey and select "Move" then navigate to system/app and paste it in there. Afterwords you need to reboot and open up Nook Color Tools and you should see it in there when you select "Keyboard"

Then download the language modules - you will need an SD card in for this I have found. It has been a while, but I believe this works.

Once you see the keyboard the first time, long press settings gear key.

The list choices are blank on my Nook, but the lists are as follows (from the top):

Language modules

English-US

English-UK (default)

Czech

Danish

Dutch

French

German

Italian

Norwegian

Polish

Portugese

Portugese-BR

Spanish

Swedish

[Nook Color General] Tool Belt:
Excellent, thanks. It was the reboot that I needed.
[Nook Color General] ExploreMN:
I hold the tablet (or phone) in one hand and swype-type with the other. SlideIT doesn't work nearly as well as Swype, and on Swype I can type either at similar speeds or even faster depending on the topic. General conversations are faster, but technical e-mails and what-not are slower because of the word recognition.

[Nook Color General] iDidItAll4theNookie:
Any tips for installing your keyboard that can be done for free? I am having a tough time with getting one up and running. :(
[Nook Color General] iDidItAll4theNookie:
Nevermind, I got gingerbread keyboard working with File Expert. I had superuser access, but I didn't realize I had to mount system/app as rw. I thought it did it automatically. Much happier now! :D
[Nook Color General] d3bear:
JPEG42.....Thanks for the information. It worked like a champ.

I tried to use another app instead of Root Explorer but it was not able to do it. Root Explorer was the ticket on the mounting and moving the files.

Now I have more keyboard options to play around with.
[Nook Color General] Omega Ra:
I can't seem to see any other keyboard options. I have the gingerbread and thumb keyboard both installed, I put at least one in system/app and rebooted, and still in nook color tools only the android keyboard is an option.
[Acer Iconia A500] Franwella:
The land of Honeycomb wallpapers is not heavily populated at the moment. There are bits and pieces scattered about out there, but I thought I might be handy to have a central place to keep some.

I am finding that 1920x1408 is the best size for wallpaper on my Iconia.

Attached a some that I have collected from all over the place. I cannot take credit for this work. Full credit must be given to those smart folk out there who created this work and were kind enough to share it. THANKS!

**Note: Images from this post and the next post can be downloaded from here.

By the way, so as to avoid posts blowing out to enormous sizes, if you would like to share your wallpaper (and I encourage you to do so :))

please use the 'attach' feature so that a thumbnail is displayed rather than inserting/embedding the full size image.

A zipped file of the high res copy, or a link to an image sharing site is also handy for people to download.

How did you download the files?

Make sure the images are 1920x1408.

To do this, don't 'right click and save' on the images in this thread.

Instead, go to the Picasa link in the first post, select the image you would like, then click download (tool bar above the pic).

Dark Wood

"Dark Wood" has been my wallpaper on all of my devices:

http://zygat3r.deviantart.com/art/Dark-Wood-58266349

I have yet to find a more subtle, understated wallpaper. It looks great on anything from a 21" monitor, to my A500, to my OG Droid.
[Acer Iconia A500] psych0t1c:
OK, I dug into my wallpaper collection and picked a few goodies. I have resized them according to the original posters suggestion of 1920 x 1408 pixels. Some were downsized, some were upscaled, I tried my best to maintain proportions and aesthetics by some smart cropping were it was applicable.

Enjoy. There should be something for everyone.

Copyrightwise this it free commons stuff (free of rights). It has been grabbed mainly from artists subscribing to this free commons on Deviantart or on 4chans /wallpaper section. I hope the forum will not make any image dimension changes.

water live wallpaper from the Asus Transformer

I don't know if anyone is interested in the live wallpaper of the rising water with icecubes from the Asus Transformer. it works good and it seems the level of of water corresponds to the amount of battery the Iconia has left, which I like.

I tried to post the link, but it's not allowed till I post a few more times. But anyone interested can just google "asus transformer live walpaper apk." The first link brought me to the right page.

After you download use "My water_signed.apk."

I love my Iconia, but the Asus live wallpaper is pretty cool.

I've tried using some of the images in this thread. When I try and set it as a wallpaper, I "crop" the image as big as I can get it. When my wallpaper is applied it's zoomed in though.

Any ideas how to get the wallpaper the exact same as the image?
[Acer Iconia A500] Alxaro:
It has to be zoomed to allow for scrolling wallpaper when switching homescreens.

I'm more annoyed at the quality of the wallpaper once it is set, it is not a very sharp image, not like when viewed with clear.fi for instance.
[Acer Iconia A500] calvin_sy:
Try turning your tablet to portrait mode... notice how your wallpaper looks OK now. As poster said above it crops for both portrait and landscape, not sure how to get the tree one to display properly in landscape.

Currently using this one http://desktopia.net/abstract-art/brown-wood-desktop-wallpaper
[Acer Iconia A500] Maliacrete:
I think I have solution to your problem at least when it comes to direct download of wallpapers.

a) Look above in the forum and find the post from bhageman about his dark wood wallpaper.

b) now open this xda page with your iconia not the pc.

c) find the post of bhageman and download the link with the darkwood

d) once the download is complete, open the dark wood wallpaper (iconia)

e) long press the screen and it will give you the option "set as wallpaper"

when you set it you will see that the quality is perfect.
[Acer Iconia A500] Maliacrete:
I forgot to say that if you change the wallpaper, and you try to put it back again via the gallery, the quality will not be the same (worse). You need to go back to the download link and follow the above mentioned procedure so you can ge the best quality.... thats why I have put this thread under my bookmarks..
[Acer Iconia A500] internetpilot:
Thanks for these wallpapers!

Beautiful Widgets is also an excellent clock/weather app (although it's not free). They even offer the weather animations like the HTC SenseUI widgets. They also offer a wonderful Live Wallpaper that shows an animated scene of your local weather forecast. Very customizable and "theme-able". Coming from a SenseUI HTC Evo 4G phone, I was sorely missing the clock/weather widgets, and Beautiful Widgets definitely resolved that.

I've attached some example pics.

Thanks for the response. Do you know the directory where I will be able to find them?

EDIT: I found the answer in a different thread; here it is just in case somebody needs it:

The default wallpaper should be in the Launcher2.apk. Browse to /system/app and copy launcher2.apk to you PC and rename the apk extension to zip. Open the zip file and look in the res\drawable-xlarge-nodpi directory and you should find the wallpapers.

So im still not getting the whole wallpaper thing... i mean i understand the whole download it thing but there has to be a way to drop it in the same directory as the ones that say wallpaper. well i would think at least cuz i definately have some pics taken with camera and on fb etc... that i would like to use as wallpaper but the stupid crop bar always messes them up. I tried making them smaller in hopes it would let me fit it in the lil crop box but no just makes the crop box smaller:mad:.
[Acer Iconia A500] mburke178:
it's actually easy to do, but you will lose some of the originals. Copy the launcher2.apk from /system/app to your desktop. Use 7zip to open the apk dont extract it. look in res\drawable-xlarge-nodpi, you will see the wallpapers there. Now i haven't found a way to add to it and make it work, but renaming the wallpaper you want to one that already exists in that folder and overwriting it does work. once you overwrite all the wallpapers you want changed just close the window then reinstall the apk to /system/app and reboot your device. You can also make a smaller version for the preview window, it is the same name_small. I forget the exact size you need the wallpaper to be, but you can see them from the res/drawable folder.
