[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
There are three flavors.

Stable, Release Candidate and Nightlie. Consider the nightlies beta releases; they aren't quite RCs, are most likely buggy and they're released so that folks can help the CM team find some glaring bugs before the RC is released.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dargocitfer:
The CyanogenMod team are constantly adding new features, testing new tweaks, and trying to fix bugs. They have set up "Build-Bots" which automatically build a new version of a the phone's ROM every night, using the latest "commits". Sometimes, there have been no changes "committed" to the build, so two nightlies can be exactly the same, because the Built-Bot keeps going. :)

Once they get to a place where the nightlies seem pretty stable, they will announce that the next one is a "Release Candidate" (RC). Many more people will install the RC version, because these tend to be more stable than the experimental "nightly" versions. There can still be bugs to work through, and the devs keep working, and the Build-Bot keeps churning out new nightlies.

After a couple of RC versions, and after the dev teams are comfortable that the bugs have been worked out, they will announce that the next build is the "Stable" version, which should be good for everyone. (Very rarely odd bugs will still creep in, but the CM team is quick to jump on them, and .1 releases will take care of those nasty bugs.)

They still keep working, tweaking and adding features, however. They probably won't stop tweaking CM7 until the Source Code for Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) is released, at which point everyone will shift to CM9. (CM8 was going to be the "Honeycomb" version of Android, but that was only ever released on Tablets, so they're moving straight to Version 9.)

And there's my submission for NaMoWriMo. :p

Who else is thinking that the Nook Color 2 with a memory expansion slot may be a better offering than the AF? Of course if it has a better screen, faster processor, and the $199.99 price tag?
[Kindle Fire General] zanderman112:
Hard to say right now. Will have to wait for the B&N announcement in Nov.

[Kindle Fire General] daggy1985:
I know I'm curious to see what B&N will offer with the nook 2. If its as root friendly with expandable memory and other great specs even at a higher price point I may be getting the nook 2. I just hope the nook 2 is lighter. ;) not that the current nook is rediculiously heavy but still.
[Kindle Fire General] Tykin:
Dunno, I'm more interested in the Silk browser than anything B&N could probably entice me with.
[Kindle Fire General] Blades:
Yeah and the Silk browser is probably very interested in you too.

How's about if the NC2 has

+ same hw spec. as the NC but add dual-core CPU

+ Thinner and lighter

+ Add camera

+ Add GPS capable

+ Add microphone

+ $200 will be awesome, $250 is still ok.
[Kindle Fire General] thatdude90210:
The NC2 is now the Nook Tablet. And the specs look sweet.

http://www.engadget.com/photos/bandn-nook-tablet-leak/#4582451

$249

Dual core 1.2 OMAP4

1GB ram

16GB + SD card

dimensions very close the NC

I had the Kindle Fire on pre order, but most likely I'm going to cancel. The Nook Tablet looks to be worth the $50 over the Fire.
[Kindle Fire General] daggy1985:
Sweet Im liking Barnes and nobles response to the kindle fire the new nook color is going.to be sweet Im ready to cancel my kindle fire order and order up the new nook color !
[Kindle Fire General] Damonte:
I already cancelled my Kindle Fire pre-order.

Nook Tablet, here I come.
[Kindle Fire General] xopher.hunter:
Any word on the nook 2's gpu?
[Kindle Fire General] RussianMenace:
Just went ahead and canceled my pre-order. Knock the pants off of the Fire.

Still Getting it

It's 200 bucks, I'm keeping my pre-order, Now I am thinking about the nook as well, but for 200 bones, it's so cheap, I'll just get both, even if I don't use one of them, someone in my family will.

[Kindle Fire General] akula11:
Knew that B&N would take it lying down.

I saw the leak specs and cancelled my AF ASAP. The B&N tab will lead because of having a micro SD slot. I bet it will be rooted by Veteran's Day. :)
[Kindle Fire General] reuthermonkey:
Maybe I'm missing something, but last I checked this thing has a USB port... So yeah... Gonna keep the preorder, and then probably pick up a nook tablet later.
[Kindle Fire General] bikee4:
Ad-Hoc tethering?

Is the Nook able to tether to a smart phone? Because Amazon says the Fire can't be. If the Nook can be then I'm cancelling my Fire pre-order!
[Kindle Fire General] RussianMenace:
Fire CAN be tethered to a phone that's broadcasting an infrastructure AP....and so can the NC2. As far as connecting to an ad-hoc AP, just going to have to wait and see when it comes out...or at least, until more info drops.
[Kindle Fire General] xopher.hunter:
I have a theory:

If a whole bunch of people cancel their pre order for a nook 2 wouldn't that mean they have built waaay too many kindle fires which would force them to lower their pricetag?

However that all depends on how many ppl want the nook 2
[Kindle Fire General] RussianMenace:
They are selling them at a loss, there is no way they will drop the price any lower.
[Kindle Fire General] DKYang:
Why would they? They'll just keep it in stock and tell the manufacturers to put a hold on it until stock becomes low.
[Kindle Fire General] DangKid:
Both looks awesome. But I don't know if the Kindle Fire will be rootable. I want the Market and I want Netflix/hulu. The Nook Tablet is grabbing more of my attention at the moment. Amazon Video looks nice, but not if I'm trapped with Amazon.
[Kindle Fire General] mercado79:
I'm hoping the Amazon Video apk gets pulled from the Fire and modified so it works on other devices (Nook Tablet or otherwise). That would make this decision much easier to make.
[Kindle Fire General] Sippolo:
Does anybody know when it'll be announced?

If I'm not wrong it should be today, but I'm not sure.

Also, I'm wondering if it'll be available worldwide as I'm from Europe, and where to buy too.

This might be my best buy instead of the Kindle Fire, I didn't even know a Nook Tablet were going to come out!

There should be a new section for this!
[Kindle Fire General] reuthermonkey:
If it has a USB port, it's rootable. Period.

Also, last I recall, Amazon's already on record saying that 1. They won't block people from rooting the device, and 2. Sideloading should be available.

So yeah, get a the Netflix and Hulu+ apk's, throw em on the Fire, and have a multimedia bonanza.
[Kindle Fire General] DangKid:
Sorry I must have confused the fire being unstoppable with not having any dev support. The only reason why the nook color is great right now is because of all the support it

has. Doesn't appear that many deva are interested I Amazon fire
[Kindle Fire General] Sippolo:
Here are the specs of the new Nook Tablet, as said, it's been announced today on B&N:

http://www.barnesandnoble.com/p/nook-tablet-barnes-noble/1104687969

It's already available for pre-order, and will be dispatched starting on November 18, 2011.
[Kindle Fire General] sangahm:
If that's the case you may be dissappointed. See the review by Trevett on Amazon's own site (appears as the first at this point) "A great device WHEN you consider price and function, with a few flaws, November 14, 2011"

Some excerpts:

"I have had the Kindle Fire for a little over a week now, and I think that is enough time to provide my first impressions on the device..."

"WEB BROWSING - This is another feature I was initially excited about. I like the idea of being able to use the Fire as a netbook. Amazon advertises "ultra fast web browsing" using Amazon's Silk browser. It is based off of technology that is designed to increase page loading times by pre-fetching part of the content. Sounds like a great idea, but doesn't work as well in practice. I tried out the Fire on several different connections and compared page loading times with other devices (all connected wirelessly). The Fire was one of the slowest. Amazon's own web page, which has actually recently been optimized to work with the Fire, takes an average of 7 seconds to load. Other major portals took a similar amount of time or slower. My iPad and my Xoom both load pages much faster. It is not slow enough to be a problem, but not fast enough to impress me or be worthy of Amazon's marketing regarding it. This needs to be improved."

So, it could be Amazon is trying to get the kinks out, but this has to be concerning as this is one of the major benefits they are pushing with the KF.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] virajjjj:
So guys there are two competitors in the market also known as swype and touchpal curve. So now the question arise is which of them is better than other one. Here are some details about both

SWYPE- It was developed by the Swype Inc. The first group to bring the innovative swype technology so smooth yet intelligent with its unique technology

touchpal keyboard- It was developed by the COOTEK. With the same technology as the swype it can produce the nearest results to the swype

conclusion- Though touchpal is the latest and the new technology it work slight differenet than swype as it guesses the word right from first letter if its wrong than you will get wrong result but on the other hand it gives the pop up of letter u pressed so it helps when typing. On the other hand swype is smooth and has good search engine. So as compare to touchpal if you seriously want to swype it than go for swype and if you want to type and to swype than go for touchpal curve.

Here are the links for swype and touchpal

SWYPE:-http://beta.swype.com/

TOUCHPAL:-https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cootek.smartinputv5&feature=search_result

To download the swype you need to register to swype fill in the form and then enjoy

Do reply if you have any doubt it query or if this post has helped you in making better decision.....
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] Cryss:
I use Touchpal and i'm verry happy with it :)

Swype use more space and if it's not in phone memory every time i use usb cable i have to manually select swype again ... that's annoying ! :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] silhouette_blacktea:
touchpal seems a bit better, just my opinion;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] A.S.People:
touchpal work better in English but there is no touchpal curve in my language.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] virajjjj:
you are absolutely right
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] abo treka:
i prefere swype :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] noobdroid_90:
i prefer the swype that comes with the stock roms to touchpal

but i prefer touchpal to swype beta

imo swype is a bit more accurate
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] ZangadU:
for brazilian language i dont have nothing to complain about swype. is very great!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] sdotmouse:
Personally, I find flexT9 to be better than both. I also like slideIT a lot. But because I use more than one language Swiftkey is my default. I can switch seamlessly between three languages and the predictions/corrections are amazing in both languages. Well worth trying.

Sent from a phone with an app.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] virajjjj:
I personally use the swype cause its prediction is quite a handy and it is speedy
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] sghens:
I just installed TouchPal and even right now I feel better than Swype beta:)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] jzerman:
I'm a swype beta user, mainly because I like swype and it has a nice collection of dictionaries including my main language (Filipino). I tried touchpal and I admit that it is at par with swype beta (or even better for some). But it is a hassle to type and save every Filipino word that I use (excluding the saved ones of course) in order for me to be able to swype those. It has a good number of dictionaries but swype still supports more languages.

For now, I returned to swype beta, but when the time comes that touchpal supports my main language, then I might get back to it. Unless of course, if swype became smoother and faster that it is today :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] HowDoiUseAndroid:
I prefer Touchpal over Swype. Of the regular keyboards, nothing beats SwiftkeyX IMHO.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] Rainbowboy:
Hmm... Sometime I prefer SwiftKey X Keyboard that have good prediction and support up to 3 languages at once :)

Swype, only Swype. I like to speedly typing but with TouchPal I cannot do this coz it some laggy.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] vic791101:
Swype is the only. :)

A major reason is because the Touchpal is not included in the Hungarian language.

i think swype have better word prediction and its smooth
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] momashi:
I've tried both Swype and Touchpal on my new ICS system.

At first I really loved Touchpal but then I found that it was completly missing 1 out of 10 words I swyped which as far as I'm concerned is completly unacceptable and useless. It breaks my grove to have to be constantly fighting with it to get it to spell dumb commom words like deficient. It also laggs like crazy every time it pops up and as I use the keyboard all the time, it started giving my phone a laggy feel.

I downloaded Swype beta and found that it was getting everything I was swyping, it was fast and did not lagg.

Touchpal has themes. Really nice ones. Swype does not. I'd need to decompile it's apk and modify the img res myself if I want to change it's appearances.

Both Swype and Touchpal have clipboard tools (you know, like: select, select all, scroll left-right-up-down, cut, copy, paste etc..). In ICS this is a must as Google has completly messed up ICS's clipboard management system and you do need a third party solution. They had the long press in an EditText mechanism in Froyo/Eclair which worked perfectly. They've taken that working mechanism and replaced with some new fancy mechanism that doesn't work 80% of the time. Good job guys... this is an epic Apple scale f#$$-up.

Rants over.

Touchpal's clipboard management tools are slightly more accessible then Swype's (a dedicated button vs Swype's change to keyboard characters and long click the edit button) but Swype has some nice gesture shortcuts for Cuting, Copying, Selecting All and Pasting (Swype-X, Swype-C, Sw-A, Sw-V) which compensate for the slightly less accessible Clipboard GUI.

Memory wise: Touchpal uses 15mb. Swype uses 22mb to 32mb!! It's got the connect client sending Swype quality information (as far as they tell us) when it has access to the internet and the rest of the time, it's observing errors, corrections etc. It tends to hit the 32mb range when you open Swype's preferences. I trick Swype to going back to using 22mb of RAM after having accessed it's preference by switching to another keyboard and back to Swype again. If you have some sort of program that can blacklist processes, you maybe able to get Swype to run at 15-17mb by killing SwypeConnect client.

Update: I've installed System Tuner. As far as I can tell it have minimal impact on my system's resources. You can inspect an apps activity list with this software and choose which one to disable. I disabled Swype Connect (the activity at the very bottom of the list). Now it operates at 15mb-22mb of memory and no more invasive activity keeping tabs on what I do.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] appleeaterx:
I used TouchPal, Stock Swype and Swype Beta.

Well, I prefer TouchPal Curve.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] gcbxda:
recently i updated my nexus one to cyanogen 7.2 and the new swype (i was ages behind schedule :)

the new swype has network permissions... wth?! a keyboard that can read pretty much everything from your data and what you type, that can phone home?! ok, so first thing was to test CyanogenMod permission removal hehe, and Swype worked just fine without 'full network access'

So i went to check the other 'swypy' keyboards... and all of them also require network communication... what's happening? when people started to get so gullible? ...or i that paranoid?

Also, does the other keyboards have pt_BR dict?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] dimspace:
Have used both pretty extensively, and for me Touchpal Wins.

Well, it sort of does, Stock Swype i find marginally better than Touchpal, but TP is consirably better than Swype Beta which for me has a number of issues (Memory Usage, Occasional lagginess, and the fact it has a tendency - often - to forget it is your default keyboard)

So

1st Swype Stock

2nd Touchpal

5th Swype Beta
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] GermainZ:
So you write two lines and then jump to the conclusion? :D

I prefer Touchpal because it's more precise in my opinion and allows typing. It's also customizable.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] Mashepherd:
I have used both extensively and I must say that I always return to Swype Beta from TouchPal. I find Swype to be more natural, now fluid to use. The newest Swype Beta removed alot of the lag for me and although I think TouchPal looks nicer and Swype is very big I have to say I prefer the latter.

please can anybody tell how to how to install swype beta as system app.

Looks like you need to move Swype lib files (there are 2 in data/data) to system/lib before moving apk to system.

Check this

EDIT: Just tried this with Quickpic and it worked. I've never been able to convert it before. I've also checked other apps that wouldn't convert and they all have lib files.

Ps reboot after converting.

Hello there.... i'm back again with another GINORMOUS problem...

I have a U8150 Ideos and it had been running the FUSIONideos rom for a while - i decided to try out CM7 Gingerman.

I have clockwork recovery installed from my rom manager....

so i boot into recovery -and make a backup first. then i wipe all the data and install the CM7 nightly build alongside G.apps so that i can get the initial setup screen.

Everything is as smooth as butter - i got all my stuff back on the phone - all my apps, contacts etc etc...

only thing is that i can't seem to connect to USB

whenever i plug it in it detects Ideos as a CD Drive or sometimes doesn't even bother and installs a bunch of crap like ADB interface and all that stuff - my mobile partner is also gone and i am having problems finding the USB driver for this phone.

when i tried switching to any other rom the USB works just fine!!

i even tried it on 2 other computers - No Luck!!

can anyone help me resolve this problem?

i can USB from recovery mode but - it takes too long

i am currently running the latest CM7 Nightly

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trickster2369:
You could, but depending on what the dev changed in those files, you would be flashing the stock ones over that, and lose what the dev did in the first place. Always best to use the files from that specific Rom.
