Swiftkey is a nice keyboard app that made accurate predictions of the word you are typing.

It has a problem with the keyboard of xperia mini pro : it use a qwerty layout. Too bad when you have an azerty one (like mine)

There have no fix from swiftkey.

I found a way to fix this on my phone.

I follow the instruction of that thread : [Mini Pro][SK17] Hardware Keyboard FIX to edit files in the system.

I change the mapping in the file /system/usr/keychars/pm8058-keypad.kcm by exchanging the 'a' with the 'q' and the 'w' with the 'z' (I haven't find others things I need to swap at the moment).

For example, there is the A mapping before :

key A {
label: 'A'
number: '\t'
base: 'a'
shift, capslock: 'A'
alt: '\t'
shift+alt, capslock+alt: none
}

and after :

key A {
label: 'Q'
number: '\t'
base: 'q'
shift, capslock: 'Q'
alt: '\t'
shift+alt, capslock+alt: none
}

And after a reboot, it writes a 'a' when I press a 'a', nice.

I don't have thoroughtly test that solution, I will post if there is any problem with that hack.

I link my file with the new mapping.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Swiftkey does have AZERTY as well.

Go to the Languages, download the one you need, it should appear at the top. Click the keyboard icon next to the ticker, it allows you to choose the layout of the keyboard.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dragoworld235:
Yes, I saw that.

But it only changes the layout of the visual keyboard.

My physical one was still mapped as a qwerty

The change of mapping doesn't change the visual keyboard, a 'a' is still type as a 'a'.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Oh yes, I didn't notice the SK17 and Mini Pro tags... :D

Hi hope this helps someone as it took me a couple of days to put all the bits together...

Just got NFC working on my Orange UK I9100P on CM9 with the following setup:

1. CM9 nightly 20120611 (http://get.cm/get/2HS)

2. Siyah kernel v3.3.2 (http://www.gokhanmoral.com/)

3. NFC patch - NFCenablerICS.zip - as per http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24439878&postcount=102

NFC patch would not work with CM9 default kernel.

Installed in the order above (rebooting after each one)

Was also able to tweak the capacitive button LEDs to time out as per stock rom using ExTweaks (reason for trying this kernel)

Hello.

Stocked SGS3, correctly rooted with CF-Root-SGS3-6.2, stock FW.

How to increase 4x4 GRID size on Main Screens / Widgets?

With such a resolution it has to be possible. Need it a lot...

I have all the tools ready (Root Explorer, CWM(M) and stuff),

don't mind directly editing Linux configuration files (but do not know

how to put them back to Kernel and which ones to touch :) ).

Want to stay on stock ROM as much as possible (I mean not prefer to flash complete new custom ROM so far).

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elevation_2:
Try Nova Launcher or Apex. Both are fantastic and would do the job and more.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roubchi:
Big thanks. Seems to be exactly what I need.

However: is it OK to do it on stock ODEX'ed ROM?

Because that thread refers to the APK file to be replaced,

but I also see .odex next to it with the same name.

So it is safe just to replace .apk but not replacing .odex?

Thanks a lot.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tachikoma_kun:
You need either an odexed version and replace both the apk and the odex, or change to a deodexed rom I believe.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roubchi:
In the thread referenced above I only see *.apk files.

Also inside those *.apk (I see it is archive actually) I see "classes.dex"

file inside, while in original stock *.apk I do not see it inside but I see

.odex file outside of the .apk. So can it be that it is Ok to replace

since classes.dex is "built-in" the apk?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tachikoma_kun:
No, you would need a TWLauncher.apk (or whatever the name is) and a TWLauncher.odex file, most modified files are deodexed and only suitable for deodexed ROMs.
[Bravo General] dsafdie:
Hi guys,

I have a Bravo AT&T unlocked (Android 2.1 v1) and there are a lot of apps that simply don´t work (radio, market, etc).

I decided to install a custom ROM (Kobe 2.2.10) and following the instructions I have to

wipe dalvik cache

. I cannot find that option when I boot, there are only wipe data and wipe cache partition.

AS you may see, I´m new to Android environment so your suggestions would be much appreciated.

Another question: do I need to upgrade to gingerbread or this is made by simply installing the ROM?
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
The wipe data/cache will work -- dalvik cache is stored on the /data partition; but you'll lose all installed apps as well. If you're rooted, use Titanium Backup or similar to back up any apps as needed. I posted my app backup method at the bottom, but its a bit complicated and requires using adb and modifying the updater-script of what ever rom you're going to flash -- well, noob complicated anyways.

You need to flash the 2.2 sbf first since ALL our roms are based on it and the Froyo kernel. 2.1 is Eclair and afaik, no roms are made for it.

Then I'd skip that 2.2.10 rom since it's out dated. For stability, the roms go as follows -- CM7 -> Pikachu MIUI\2.4.20 MIUI -> MS2 Ginger (no camera\tethering) -> CM9 -> BravoX -> Stock. That said, CM9 will soon be at the top of the pack in the next month or two... I'd start off with CM7 if I were you, just to get the hang of how everything works and then go from there. MS2 also has very good battery, but no camera or tethering -- which doesn't matter if you use US ATT since it does an entitlement check to see if you pay for tethering. (Pisses me off since I only tether my home WI-FI, never 3g. Why should that cost me $20 a month???)

From the what you typed, it sounds like you're trying to flash a rom from the stock bootmenu which will not work. You first have to install Defy 2nd-Init, then install the rom from that bootmenu.

There is no "real" gingerbread for the Bravo, only GB roms built for the Froyo kernel. While the Bravo is fully capable of running GB, ICS, and probably Jellybean as well (Android 4.1.0, not released yet), Motorola would rather us buy new phones then update our software -- the crux of all but maybe 3 or 4 Motorola phones due to us having locked bootloaders.

Link to tutorial on sbf flashing

Link to Defy 2nd-Init

Here's my app backup method

adb pull /data/app ~/Documents/data/app

Open updater-script of rom you're going to flash (/META-INF/com/android/google/updater-script)

add the following 3 lines right before the final line

package_extract_dir("data/app", "/data/app");
set_perm(1000, 1000, 0771, "/data");
set_perm_recursive(1000, 1000, 0771, 0644, "/data/app");

add the pulled /data/app/ to the root directory of the zip so it looks like

data

META-INF

system

and flash the zip with all you're apps preinstalled and working -- you lose app data this way (settins, passwords, etc), but latent app data from one rom to the next can be bad news.

A trick is to do the above with a TB backup, then use TB to restore the app data for select apps that have a ton of settings to configure, but that can be dangerous if you go from say romA 1.0 to romB 1.0. RomA 1.0 to romA 1.1 is safer for restoring app data.

Not dangerous as in brick, more like the app will just FC on opening up. Its best to just ignore app data and just reconfigure everything.

I should add, if you don't require tethering or camera, then MS2 could be at the top of the list. Its an awesome rom with great battery life and stability.
[Bravo General] dsafdie:
thanks for the tips, I´ll try to implement them this weekend.

Since the phone is new and I don´t have any personal apps that I particularly use, do I need to make any backups? Do they come with CM7?
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
No, CM7 pretty much has it covered, unless you use the ATT or Blur Apps. You may need to find a market replacement for those.

If you do use the ATT\Blur Apps, then you could install MS2Ginger, but the camera and data tethering doesn't work with it -- its still one of the most stable\battery efficient roms out there. If it wasn't for the fact that I tether my wifi daily (I am right now) and sometimes the Bossman needs pictures from the job, I'd probably run MS2 as my primary stable; but CM9 works well enough now -- except yesterday when my baseband quit working out of nowhere, all I did was install a theme and reboot....Ended up restoring my Pikachu Backup since I on the way to work and needed stable.

Why wait till the weekend -- its a 15 minute process, and I'm including flashing the sbf and rooting the device.

As far as mods and all that goes, I'd stay away from the Touch Recovery. Reasons -- it doesn't like big Aroma Installer roms (wouldn't even start my 450mb Wiui I was working on), sometimes it just doesn't work, and data wipe also wipes sd-ext (where I store data I don't want being fragmented by vfat). It'll be awesome once its a bit more stable; just not noob friendly yet.

I suspect the Aroma not working with Touch is because /tmp is mounted to ram, and it just can't extract a 450mb rom in to ram and have the system fully working as well.

What sucks, is with little modification, the system will run the sdcard as ext3; except that mediaserver actually checks to see if the card is vfat and will fc when it isn't. And you cant make a 10mb vfat partition and symlink it to sd-ext either since vfat doesn't support symlinking. None of that really matters to you, but the Touch part reminded me of my most hated Android requirement -- vfat as the only filesystem of sdcard primary partition.

[HTC Sensation] Leemur89:
It may be single core but it doesn't necessarily mean its worse. You gotta understand from HTC's point of view, business aspect. If you want to control the market, or atleast increase the total share, you should make phones according to the different pay grades, social status. Take the one S for example. It's a dual core but runs the sense 4. Sensation is dual core but its hardware capabilities is limited. (According to HTC)

And how about this new phones with single core:

HTC Desire VT

Hey guys, just got this phone from a friend because he got the s3. It is already rooted, here is a screenshot

My friend did this because he wanted ICS, but now its officially here for the s2 or? He was complaining that the battery drained pretty fast when using, so he bought a new battery, a Yoobao 1700mAh but he didnt really notice an improvement. I was saying that it was the rom and/or that he had loads of stuff on the phone and everything connected and apps running etc. So now he have deleted everything and ive installed my stuff like google account, facebook etc and I find it to be decent, but still not good. I cant compare it to how he said it was so maybe the problem is already fixed. But anyways i was wondering if anyone could help me get back everything to stock? If it has 4.0 now I want to try stock just to see. If not, are there any better roms than im using now?

And since I'm new to samsung phones (had iphone 3gs, optimus 2x and Desire HD before) are there anyway to make my phone look the same as I have now, with touchwiz? I heard you can download a launcher app that removes touchwiz completely, because I really like stock android 4.0 look :) Hope you understand my questions, sry for the long text :D
