Is there a way of taking Swype over to a custom rom?

I'd like to try oxygen, Cyanogen and Miui, but want to use swype on them.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
You can install the beta. It works better than the one in most of the stock ROMs.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boonyard:
Great where is this available?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
From Swype see post in Themes section .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blunted09:
bringing back this thread so as not to start a new thread.

I just received a notification from the swype keyboard saying my version is outdated and i need to upgrade. Naturally, you have to delete the version that was installed with the rom i am using however, the apk refuses to install. I used titanium back up to delete swype and root explorer to delete the lib file pertaining to swype and it still wont work. Anybody have a solution for me?

running swype version 3.5.83.26.....
[HTC Sensation] Vineares:
I know this is probably a noob question and has been asked before (i've tried searching but to no avail). How does Smartass V2 go about setting cpu speeds? What is it comparable to?

Thanks in advance.

[HTC Sensation] matury:
SMARTASS GOVERNOR - is based on the concept of the interactive governor.

I have always agreed that in theory the way interactive works - by taking over the idle loop - is very attractive. I have never managed to tweak it so it would behave decently in real life. Smartass is a complete rewrite of the code plus more. I think its a success. Performance is on par with the "old" minmax and I think smartass is a bit more responsive. Battery life is hard to quantify precisely but it does spend much more time at the lower frequencies.

Smartass will also cap the max frequency when sleeping to 245Mhz (or if your min frequency is higher than 245 - why?! - it will cap it to your min frequency). Lets take for example the 600/245 kernel, it will sleep at 245. No need for sleep profiles any more!:cool:

Thats the definition of SmarAss Gov, some kernels support smartass other dont, where smarass is not supported your choice is ONDemand its kind of the same with less tweaks
[HTC Sensation] ltloong:
Hi, sorry for an even noobier question, but I just started with all this rooting and custom ROM stuff. How do I go about setting the kernel to use the SmartAss V2 algorithm?

I just flashed this kernel [Kernel]CM7/AOSP[2.6.35.14](v0.1.2)OC~1.78GHz/BFQ/SLQB[Sep-11]. The dev states I cant use setcpu, but then goes on to mention the use of SmartAss V2 among others. I tried to access the Performance tab in cyanogensettings->performance->cpu settings, but it FC. Tried looking around the forums, but can't find anything. Tried posting in that thread, but apparently i'm too much of a noob.

Edit: Kinda went digging through the root explorer, does /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor = ondemand mean that its using SmartAss?
[Motorola Photon 4G] masterhuh:
Per some other forums it appears that Sprint has restricted the creation of new APN's when a forum SIM is inserted. Has anyone had any success in getting around this restriction or are we stuck until some ROM tweaks are implemented?

Thanks,

Well I'm on o2 UK and I created my APN
[Motorola Photon 4G] S2W:
well I hope its possible cause my girl is going to spain and italy in two weeks. It was def the selling point to getting the photon.

Although I read, and I believe on their motorola forum that you can set and save the new apn. Got to check it out again.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markmac:
I was playing around with some scripts from Caulkin on some other versions of Froyo to try and improve performance. I have read up on the init.rc script and use of the init.d folder. I have set all this up and have edited the init.rc script to run the init.d scripts, but it gets overridden by the base init.rc on reboot. I had read somewhere that you cannot directly edit the init.rc and that it will be overridden on boot from the boot.img. Can someone confirm that? I thought most roms now have the ability to use init.d out of the box, but it doesn't look like it on Brilliant Corners. Can someone confirm that? Do you know of any Froyo ROMS, other than Caulkins, that has init.d capability? Thanks
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Are you using the run-parts program?

That's correct.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markmac:
Thanks for the response. I was editing the init.rc directly which obviously won't work. So i need to look into building my own boot.img or another option. I was using run-parts setup as a service. I would have thought most kernels/ROMs would support this now, but it does not appear that way.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
You don't need to build your own new image; you can just modify the existing one by flashing. Take a look at the attachements in these 2 posts where I've done just that. Just make sure the script is idempotent if other people will use it.

Post 1

Post 2
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markmac:
Thanks will definitely check this out.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markmac:
Looked at this. So to update the init.rc file I would have to edit and package into a boot.img file, then flash the img file with adb or nvflash correct?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
No. That's too much work for the user. My technique is meant to be like flashing a new kernel. No external utilities are needed. Just CWM (or, possibly, even standard recovery).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iHusk:
What is a kernal and what does it do? Is it any different than a ROM? And how do you flash/install a kernal. I've flashed a few roms on the past few phones but I still have no idea what a kernal does.....any help appriciated..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slagdude76:
You install a kernal simply by wiping caches,(cache and dalvik cache). Custom kernals allow you to do things a stock kernal wouldnt allow. There are some great developers of kernals here on XDA. You really just need to Search the forums for all of your answers, even google it. Once you do learn what a kernal is,you will be able to enjoy the full, or almost full, potential of your phone. Good luck!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spider2346:
In a nutshell a kernel is the "heart" of the OS. It's really simple to flash. You start by making a nandroid that way if something goes wrong you have a backup, then wipe cache/dalvik 2x each, after that you can flash the kernel. It's a rinse and repeat process.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iHusk:
Quick question. I see that they are labeled like [sense] and [AOSP]. If I'm running MUIU as my rom right now, would I use an AOSP Kernel or does that matter.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Definitely matters. You need an AOSP kernel like Tiamat or Savaged Zen. I had good luck with Tiamat, but I'm running the stock kernel at the moment.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CDKJudoka:
It wouldn't be a good idea to you a Sense kernel on anything besides a Sense ROM, or you will get a boot failure. I believe that MIUI use AOSP kernels.
[General Questions and Answers] ozziesironmanoffroad:
forgive me if this is in the wrong section... i know not what i do. :)

I am very familiar with iPhone hacking and everything, but Android is another story. I have managed to downgrade my Fender Mytouch from 2.2 to 1.6 without a gold card, but I lost all my fender apps, ringtones, wallpapers, etc. splash screen too... which doesnt bother me much, but the stock mytouch screen is FUGLY!!

i have been looking on this site at the different roms, and all of the ones I came across as the "stock" fender roms with or without root are NOT available.. meaning they have been taken off the host site.

now one question I have is: where would I be able to find a STOCK (with or without root, doesnt matter much to me... though root WOULD be nice..) Fender rom thats at version 1.6? (with the google activation optional, as I don't have a T-Mobile sim card). id like all the fender apps, ringtones, walls, etc. every thing ive come across on google, ive downloaded, unpacked, and looked inside at the apps, and theyre missing the solo app. not sure what others theyre missing, because, I was stupid, and didnt back up my froyo fender rom.

2nd question: I got this phone from my mom, who is on Tmobile, and stopped using it when they pushed the froyo update. this phone got ALL screwed up, and wouldnt work properly. so i gave her my unlocked iphone and got another iphone. now she doesnt want this fender back because she is in love with the iphone, its so simple for her to use. plus she likes the iHome stuff, iTunes sync, etc etc.

sorry for the rant... my question is... the tmobile account is under my dads name, and he refuses to call tmobile to get me the unlock code (because he hates talking to customer service), and won't give me the last 4 digits of his social, to verify the account. is there a way to get the unlock code myself, for free? I dont really trust the unlock services. or is there a way to do it by a hack, like you can with the iPhone? I am currently on ATT.

thanks all for dealing with my newbie-ness. my flame suit is *engaged*. fire on....

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Techno79:
I've just bought an Orange Barcelona handset (also called Huawei U8320 or Huawei Boulder). I've rooted the device and used Titanium Backup to freeze all the Orange bloatware applications. However, there's a permanent notification in the notification bar.

The notification says "Data service is enabled" and it is referring to the mobile network's data service. Even when I'm connected to WiFi, it still shows. If I disable the mobile data network, then it changes to "Data service is disabled".

This is extremely annoying as it takes up a large amount of screen real estate when the notification bar is pulled down and permanently displays an icon in the notification bar on the top left of the screen.

Does anyone know how I can make this go away? Is there an Orange service I can freeze?

TIA
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Techno79:
This is getting really annoying for me. Anyone have any suggestions at all?
[HTC EVO 3D] LynnL:
I like Google+ well enough, I guess, but I have people in my Google+ circles who have no need whatsoever to be in my contacts list on my phone. Yet it seems that by adding someone to a circle in Google+, they are automatically added to my phone's contacts, and if I try to delete them from contacts, they are then deleted from my circles. They don't show up on my desktop version of Google contacts -- only on the phone.

Is there a way to keep people out of my contacts on my phone while still adding them to my circles?
[HTC EVO 3D] F.T.P.:
+1 ya agreed...
[HTC EVO 3D] Matstarr:
Not sure if this will help go into contacts hit menu and pick view, then check the box that says phone numbers only.

[Desire Android Development] Chaosz-X:
This is the theme that is being used in Flux 1.3 and higher. If you download Flux 1.2, you won't have this skin!
[Desire Android Development] smx11:
Thx dude, gonna try it.

Which base did you use? Stock Sense GB Rom?

(what? I'm the first one? Yupiiiii)
[Desire Android Development] Chaosz-X:
Yes, this ROM is based on the RUU, released by HTC on HTCdev.com. It is an official Gingerbread, which was a bit slimmed down by HTC, and I removed even more bloatware.

EDIT: I'm trying another way to get A2SD working, give me half an hour :)

EDIT2: A2SD working, get 1.1 now from the first post! Wipe recommended.
[Desire Android Development] smx11:
Nice, i have removed friend stream widget (hate it).
[Desire Android Development] Chaosz-X:
If more people want to see other widgets/apps removed, I could make a list, and also remove that apps if there are enough people who would like to remove it. Aside from that, I'll also make a script soon which allows you to remove even more apps.

Thanks for your response! :)
[Desire Android Development] williamj1:
Hello.

Always nice to see both new developers in here, and continued ROM development for the Desire.

May I ask, are there any benefits to this ROM for someone like me who hasn't S-Off'd and just has the stock partition?
[Desire Android Development] kmaq:
Dude, can you upload some screen-shots of this ROM? how about performance and battery consumption?
[Desire Android Development] Chaosz-X:
If you don't have S-OFF, this ROM is perfect for you, if you want your phone to be as clean as possible, and need space for apps. This ROM uses A2SD by default, and in combination with a 512MB/1024MB EXT-partition, you don't have to worry anymore about the space for apps (a Desire without A2SD has only 137MB on NAND for apps).

Aside from that, this ROM is smaller than an original one. The GingerBread RUU by HTC was already slimmed down, and was 150MB. I removed even more bloatware, or unnecessary apps (such as HTC Stocks, which keeps running and bugs a lot of users), resulting in a ROM which is only 120MB. Even CyanogenMod is 90MB, so this ROM is really lightweight, since it has only approx. 30MB difference with an AOSP ROM.

In other words: no tweaks and modifications, just a ROM meant to be as stable and fast as possible, and without the bunch of apps most of the users won't use anyway, or they have alternative apps.

The skin is the same as a normal Sense ROM for the Desire (so it's just as the stock ROM). The performance is really good, I haven't noticed any lag or anything like that yet, and it is running pretty stable until now.

I'll post tomorrow evening about the battery consumption, as the most recent build I made was about 2 hours ago, so I couldn't really test it yet.

I will make a skin though, and I hope to finish it in about a week.
[Desire Android Development] williamj1:
Ok thanks....

So after boot and A2SD+ initiates, how much memory would I have free?
[Desire Android Development] Chaosz-X:
After you have installed the ROM, and have an EXT-partition, all your apps which you install will be placed on the EXT-partition. This means the available space is the same as the size of the EXT-partition.

My Desire said I had 80MB free after a flash, because the Dalvik Cache is still on the NAND of the phone. I also moved that to the EXT by installing a Terminal Emulator, and executing the commands:

After which your phone will reboot. No matter how much apps you install now, your phone will always say you have 137MB available, because everything is being stored on the EXT-partition on your SD-card.

To use A2SD:

Boot in recovery, and partition your SD-card with an EXT-partition (512MB or 1024MB should be enough). Keep in mind partitioning removes all your data and formats your SD-card. Then copy the ROM ZIP to the root of the SD by using the USB Storage Function in recovery, and install it by using recovery. Then reboot, and A2SD will be enabled and your phone will boot in less than 5 minutes (only the first time, after the first boot it will startup much faster). During boot you'll get a black screen, it is completely normal. To use the EXT-partition for Dalvik Cache also, use the 2 commands I mentioned earlier in this post, and you should be ready :)
[Desire Android Development] williamj1:
I appreciate the efforts, but I am actually very experienced in that sense. I know perfectly well the A2SD commands and how it works ;) All I wanted to know was the 137mb figure :P

PS: It isn't correct to say "No matter how much apps you install now, your phone will always say you have 137MB available". The memory will still go down even with A2SD+ installed and davlik cache to sd. It just doesn't go down as much.
[Desire Android Development] vr5411:
Hi Chaos,

Why not just use a2sd script from Oxygen rom? I'm using it on all roms including CM7, MIUI. Leaving dalvik cache on nand with cm7r2 hboot. Much smaller then dt version.

Is your rom deodexed or odexed?

Some proposals:

-add new kernel from bananacakes (modified original GB Sense kernel, sources also available in post).

-Please add trackpad2wake also.

And kind request, what is removed or what is left inside?

Thanks!

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] Chaosz-X:
You're right, it does go down, but since your apps, the dalvik cache and the cache are being stored on the EXT-partition, the NAND is almost untouched by apps I think. Not sure though, I don't know a lot about the A2SD scripts.

Removed:

-Apps you can install from the market (Facebook, Gmail, Flash)

-Apps which have better alternatives (HTC Twitter)

-Apps which bugs a lot of users, even when they're not being used (HTC Stocks)

-Apps of which I can't even come up with a reason why they would be installed by default (Polaris Office, if I'm right about the name)

-Live wallpapers which are pretty useless in my opinion (Smoke Wallpaper, Music Visualizations)

Trackpad2Wake is a function I also used a lot myself, so I will implement it soon ;)

The new kernel by Bananacakes: if I see positive results by other users, and people like it, I will build it in.

And the ROM is deodexed :)

About the Oxygen A2SD script: I'll see what I can do, and maybe implement a feature to choose the desired script for A2SD.

Thanks a lot for your interest guys, I really appreciate it!
[Desire Android Development] iltore:
your rom is a perfect! :D dsp manger? :p
[Desire Android Development] Chaosz-X:
I'll see how much space it takes, and I'll either make a flashable ZIP to install it automatically, or if there are lots of people interested in it, I'll implement it in the ROM itself :)
[Desire Android Development] williamj1:
You are very welcome. I will be sure to try this at some point in the next few days, thanks :)

Just one thing.... if you are really wanting to attract people in and get them downloading, I'm certain having a screenshot would help with that. And maybe update the OP with some of the information like the above ^, about what is removed etc etc.

Good luck :) Thanks :)

I don't think its implemented in the ROM itself, but now its possible just to install the CM7 mod as an apk file.....

(attached)
[Desire Android Development] Chaosz-X:
I have some work to do for school, which should be finished in about 15 minutes, and then I'll update the OP and add screenshots of the current interface.

In about 1 week I'll release an update with a really nice skin (in my opinion), and I think that will make the ROM a bit more unique :)
[Desire Android Development] iltore:
everything works thanks thanks thanks to both!
[Desire Android Development] williamj1:
Feel free to stick the APK of the DSP manager I attached in the OP if you wish ? ;)
[Desire Android Development] Chaosz-X:
I will, but first I have to finish my work for school, about ten minutes I hope :)
[Desire Android Development] wackymix:
very wel my friend, nice rom, please it`s a rule to attach screenshot`s in 48h.

Go forward with it
[Desire Android Development] Chaosz-X:
Thanks a lot! I'm making a screenshot right now, I'll post it in 15 minutes.

Oh, and I updated the OP with some additional information about the modifications, and I extended the To-Do part.

Edit: added screenshots to the second post. And now I'm going to sleep, and I'll continue tomorrow with the ROM :) I'll also post some results concerning the battery tomorrow evening.
[Desire Android Development] backfromthestorm:
What's the point in skinning it down to 120mb if your still gonna use dal2sd and a2sd? The whole point of skinning it down is to use a custom mounted or alpharev hboot and say goodbye to ext's? If its all going on the extension, I don't understand why your stripping it down.
[Desire Android Development] williamj1:
That is exactly what I thought. As long as it fits within the standard partition, all ROMS have pretty much the same initial internal memory of around 130-137mb free.

The benefits of skimming down a ROM come when you make a tiny tiny rom like 60mb and then partition the hboot or whatever so you can have like 300 internal. This doesn't apply here.
[Desire Android Development] groovepeppy:
i guess the main objects are for users that do not have the knowledge to strip down the "unused" app and therefore they just flash this ROM and good to go (just maybe, no hard feelings mate)

waiting for the battery report while downloading the ROM ;-)
[Desire Android Development] Chaosz-X:
Thanks a lot for your comments guys!

Right now, I need to slim down about 25MB to make it fit in the CM7r2 HBOOT, which is my goal. I hope to release a CM7 version today (in the evening, and since I'm in europe, that means in about 12 hours), and a stock HBOOT version. Aside from that, these new versions will also include Bananacakes new kernel, and hopefully a fixed bootanimation.

Stay tuned!
[Desire Android Development] groovepeppy:
Ext4 support should be wonderful mate !

keep up the good work !!!
[Desire Android Development] Chaosz-X:
Along with the new kernel, EXT4 will also be supported :) And starting from Flux 1.2 (which will be released this evening, hopefully), there will be 3 versions available:

Stock HBOOT + Darktremors Apps2SD

Custom HBOOT (hopefully CM7r2) without A2SD-script

Stock HBOOT without A2SD-script, for those who prefer their own scripts

Lots of choices :)

Edit: The ROM takes about 160MB on /system now, making this ROM usable on every HBOOT except CM7/CM7r2 and Oxygen HBOOTS. The Bravo Data++ or Bravo Sense HBOOTs should work just fine with the version I will be releasing today.

It could fit into CM7r2 with some more tweaking, but: I'll have to remove the .so of Flash Player, making the Flash Player unusable (and I think re-installing from the market won't help), and we'll have to replace the stock HTC Keyboard for HTC_IME by Jonasl, saving about 4MB.

I already removed ringtones, swapped a few fonts to get even more space, and I think it is pretty nice. The ZIP itself is 110MB now :) Maybe I'll also remove the HTC Live Wallpaper, but I have to find its APK first :P
[Desire Android Development] lazyeejay:
Well done, this is a really good stable Rom. Battery seems quite good so far:)
