[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
I like the Inspire keyboard, but in portrait mode it is to small and in landscape it is to big. Any suggestions of one similiar but just a bit smaller? I'm still stock, so it would need to be installed. Is there an apk file for the gingerbread keyboard?
[HTC Inspire 4G] zuriken:
I absolutely HATE the stock keyboard! I usually end up having to re-type everything 2-3 times because the "autocorrect" grabs the wrong words. I can't stand the way shifted characters change positions on the screen if you press the "12#" key.

I'll be the first one in line to buy a "Inspire 4G Shift" if HTC adds a slide-out qwerty keyboard, much like they added to the Evo.

I have all prediction, correction, completion turned off. I'm just needing a keyboard with a better feel size wise. It would be nice if there was an option to size the keyboard.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chad_Petree:
shifted characters?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chad_Petree:
is that the keyboard form the htc sensation?
[HTC Inspire 4G] RogerPodacter:
Why not just install the older HTC sense keyboard? It is identical but without the arrows, and it has the Smileys button. Over in the nexus one forum is where i get it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] BRamirez82:
I like the keyboard, the arrows are unnecessary but they don't bother me
[HTC Inspire 4G] thecrazy88:
Is there any good keyboards in the market?
[HTC Inspire 4G] newter55:
Swiftkey is nice. Recently got flex t9 free from amazon market and liking that one as well.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lamebmx:
I like the arrows. They come in handy when you need to navigate to different fields. But support for that is kinda spotty. And I agree, key board is too big in landscape mode. Makes the rest of the screen unusable, at least its got a handy hide button.
[HTC Inspire 4G] UberEgo:
Coming from an iPhone, I like the keyboard on my Inspire much better than the iPhone and easier to use.

This is general Android... Have a co-worker asking if anyone knows of any WebOS UI or skins out yet, or if anyone is working on them..

Also, He has a G2, getting a G2x soon, and wondering if there was any way to put Motoblur or something similar on either device?

I couldn't find anything, so hopefully someone has some answers that can help.

Thank you.

OK, here is the skinny which I hope wont be deleted by the mods.

Due to bad luck circumstances I currently have two devices, Both legal, no stolen devices or what have you. Basically one was dropped and the digitizer (not the scren itself) crackedin one corner, Despite this the device t works like a charm, the areas where ghe digitizer is torn react to touch input perfectly.

I have warranty on that that covers this incident for another ten months. Realistically in insurance terms the device is shot and needs replacement, They will ask for send in and keep it.

My hope / vision is that some developer, preferably on the european mainland could use a experimentation device to pull the stunts that might endanger his asset. If The device goes brick it is not a loss any more than before. I benefit from developers work and rooting attempts for a long time now and I hope that this is something I can gice back to the community to speed up the process of pwning the bootloader.

You can keep it up to three months.

Please enquire by PM or comment here. (BTW if you are sketched about a first poster with an offer like this, I frequent the forum more often under different nicknames.

Good evening,

I did a search but could not find any posts that were clear on restoring to stock so I can send my tablet in for a screen repair:(.

How do I remove CWM and put everything back to the original factory stock? I am currently running Prime 1.3.

Thank you in advance!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuntdouble:
I've not read anything about this yet and we certainly need a good guide written about this topic. Maybe your best bet is to pm some of the people who have created the roms for advice. If you get an answer feel free to write a nice guide about it. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jocelyn:
I'll have to look for the thread (search for unroot in dev forum). You'll need to flash back to your nandroid backup, then download 8.2.3.9, and apply the blob from that package the same way you did with blob5. I want to say theres no need to flash back (step 1), but that's what I did. Make sure you do a md5 on the PC/Mac copy against the copy on you're sd card as well. After that you should be unrooted and back to stock.

Edit: Needless to say you only do the blob steps and not the gingerbreak, SU stuff :)

Edir 2: Also, I know when you root a second time that the boom sh or something needs to be deleted, though I'm not sure whether or not its a good idea to delete these before sending it back.

Windows 8 has been reported to already be running on ARM architecture CPUs. Which ones exactly, I don't know. I imagine Microsoft realizes Intel may not usurp ARM and wants to be able to put their next OS as an alternative for us on tablets and maybe even phones.

Old old versions of NT also ran on Alpha, MIPS and Power PC, but they dropped support in the mid-late nineties for them. I actually had a DEC workstation with an Alpha 21064 that I used for NT and later played with Linux some. The "BIOS" it had was probably one predecessor to EFI today.

You need:

have a look at the alpharev page; it's quite easy to do

Found this app today while poking around looking for a way to easily control iTunes (yes, that laggy thing). Seems pretty solid, basic UI, easily set up (uses iTune's built in remote functions with bonjour that an iOS app would use). All round the best app I've seen when it comes to iTunes remotes for android.

Side note: Its free! No full version or anything of the sort that is paid so might as well give it a shot if you like iTunes.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skimp Killah:
Every non-Aosp rom I've ever flashed (Acs, bonsai, midnight, simply aosp, viper, et..) have always ended up freezing and forcing me to remove the battery to re-boot, I've followed instructions, re-downloaded the roms etc. CM7 and MIUI, both Aosp, have never had that problem, always flashed right the first time, never had to flash twice. I guess I'm just curious if anyone can explain why aosp roms work fine (minus mms, 4g, and the other aosp bugs) and every rom based off of official releases always seem to end up failing?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djbacon06:
wrong section man, this is not development (it will be moved soon).

If you are following instructions to the point in ROM guides, I have no idea. Sorry. But more specifics on your problems would help us help you
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GituSum:
Its because most of the non aosp roms are backing up and restoring your data. If your coming from a clean flash you have to flash the rom twice before it will boot up properly.

And yes this belongs in the q&a forum

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djbacon06:
Not to sound like an ass, but that's not entirely true. I have never had to flash non-aosp roms more than once.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GituSum:

Haha you're not the only one! On DK28 I had to flash twice everytime! And then for a little while on EB13. I don't know what changed though. But I havent had to do it for a longtime. Maybe it's because I never boot into stock before flashing?

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddymikey1975:
I experience this to an extent as well.. w/ SRF 1.0.2 it flashes first time and works flawlessly..

What I've found is that all devices aren't created equal. Some work really well others are finicky.

What I've found that works for me is immediately after a flash, I can tell if it's gonna be wonky or work. After the flash, if it 'delays' before popping back up to the recovery menu, it's gonna fail. If the recovery menu pops up right away I'm good.

When it 'fails'.. I'll reboot system.. on the white samsung screen, pull the battery. boot back into recovery, then re-flash. boot system if it doesn't auto boot and you're good.

Not sure why it's like this, but it works for me. MY device doesn't always play nice w/ every version of every ROM and rather than whining in all of the ROM threads about why the rom sucks and I can't use it.. I've figured out a way to use them through troubleshooting and process of elimination using some of the 'fixes' that are posted in the different threads.

all Epics are not created equal. Just gotta figure out what works for yours.

EDIT: now that I think about it, (not that it's a big deal) I'm gonna go find noobnl's thread about checking for bad blocks on the ONEnand... just curious if journaling is trashing my NAND ;) (I don't think it is, but ya never know)

EDIT: Still only 3 bad blocks. Nothing to worry about for me ;)

Try ec05plus its an odin tar, and it will work from the first boot...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDub:
That's not true. He mentioned Simply which I know for a fact doesn't backup/restore data.

1.) Odin back to EC05

2.) Re-root and Install CWM3

3.) Let it convert you to EXT4

4.) Upgrade to CWM 3.0.2.5

5.) Wipe data.

6.) Go to Advanced/Mounts and hit Format /system

7.) Flash the rom of your choice

8.) If it fails again wipe data x3 and then system x3 for good measure, try try again.

Hope that helps.

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy I5801 and a couple of days back, I got the froyo upgrade to DDJP2, through Kies. Although I do notice an increase in speed and the battery life, the one main thing I noticed is that the audio quality, when I'm playing files through my media player, sucks. Its choppy and distorted at times. It was running perfectly fine when I had my 2.1 Eclair OS. The update seems to have ruined the audio quality. Was just wondering if there is any way to fix this since I use my phone a lot to listen to music. HELP!!!!

Would a usb cable work for the HD2 if there was only the data+ and data- connection? (no power goes through it, meaning the vcc and gnd pins are unused.

It should be theoritically possible. I mean its just like if you disable power charging on your phone when it's connected to the computer.
[HD2 General] jianC:
Ok thanks for the quick reply

[HD2 General] motoi_bogdan:
noup, i think it won't work since the phone's usb controller is brought online only by applying +5v via usb connector. Without that, the data pins will be inactive.
[HD2 General] jianC:
oh.. bummer

Yeah it doesn't work :(
[HD2 General] Abdul9.:
Sorry. I was convinced that it will work since i thought the battery will supply the energy required.:o
[HD2 General] nafets.f:
No, it do not work! I try it out with a peace of paper inside the plug to cover the outboard pins. :(
[HD2 General] motoi_bogdan:
@Abdul9 It doesn't work because even if you disable usb charging in the phone's menu..although the battery isn't charged, power is still being supplied to hd2's motherboard. Based on the usb specifications&standards, usb clients are supposed to have some sort of +5 volt sense circuitry in order to register when voltage is applied and start their internal controller. That also consumes power, actually some 30mA are being drawn from the usb bus in order to power hd2's usb controller (or whatever part of that qualcomm snapdragon chip that is doing that).

This is also valid for any standard usb client/slave device, be it phone or something else.
[HD2 General] softspot:
Old thread, but new and hot for me. I want to use my cellphone as a wifi-hotspot for my laptop on the road, but I don't want to drain my laptop's battery since it is just powerful enough for only the laptop itself during my time on the road: the extra powerconsumption by charging my cellphone-battery would be just too much. And "charging throug usb" can't be switched off in my phone. So I was thinking about cutting the +5V wire in the cable, but that appears to be a bad idea.

But what if I would build a small electronic circuit in the datacable which would limit the current through the +5Vlead to about 50mA? That would be enough to feed the USB-controller in the phone, but it would save my laptopbattery from overconsumption.

What do you think?
