I've looked everywhere, including there. All I have under Language & Keyboard is Select Locale and Touch Input. In Touch Input there is nothing suggesting it is installed. Not sure what else to do. Shows up in my /system/app folder...

EDIT: Just went into Linda Manager and found it under /system/app. Selected it and tried to install. Said it would replace system files and I said OK. Showed that it was installing, quit a few seconds later and said "Application Not Installed". BAH!

After installing swype and enabling it, reboot your phone and multitouch will work again (did for me).
[Hero CDMA General] CodeMonk:
I couldn't get swipe to install either. It said it did, but it doesn't show up anywhere except in my installed apps list under settings.

Did you go to settings>language and keyboard and check swype?

I made a thread like this a little while ago. I switched to the better keyboard pro and at first it was great. Didn't lag or anything. Button preview off, haptic feedback off. Now it just lags like the other ones.

I must just type too fast but a lot of times I get it to put in too many letters when I type a word like please. It ends up coming out pleaseeee. No idea why it lags out like that but it is really frustrating.
[Hero CDMA General] mjz147:
I just downloaded smart keyboard pro, and it is a lot better than I thought it would be. it has an iPhone theme and a hero theme, which Looks exactly like the heros kb..no lag at all. messaging internet, nothing and it has auto correct and a user dictionarry. I am using it now and it is great. it is $2.60, but well worth it plus you have 24 hours to try it out.
[Hero CDMA General] dondadah88:
downloading now. i think there is a trail i'm going to see what's up.
[Hero CDMA General] mjz147:
hopefully it works well for you. I mentioned it earlier in the thread that using tthe stock 2.1 mms v. HTCs mms app works a lot better. you can remove the HTC one whenever and reinstall it if you back up or have the apk. see my post earlier in the thread.

let us know how it works.
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
i found the best way to get rid of lag is to disable EVERYTHING. sux if your dependant on spellcheck or prediction, and for some reason like the feeling of the vibrations against your fingers, but with the xda keyboard, theres alot of hacks, and disabling EVERYTHING resulted in litterally no lag for me. also, consider disabling key previews too :-)
[Hero CDMA General] mjz147:
that also completely removes the lag..but my fingers are too big I need spell correction.
[Hero CDMA General] ffolkes:
i didn't have time to read every reply in this thread, but i wanted to chime in that i too experience kb lag on my hero. it's always there, all roms. type abc, and get acb or more annoyingly, a3b, where the phone registers your brief tap as a long press because it's so slow to respond. at first i thought i was making errors, then i started to notice even when i was very deliberate and certain of what i pressed, i still got all sorts of crazy things.

this (the keyboard) is the only thing about an iphone that i'm envious of. it's so fast and responsive, it's like typing on a real keyboard. on my ipod touch, i can get up to 54 wpm! maybe not impressive to some, but on my hero i think im at LITERALLY 5 wpm. it makes me always put off replying to texts, because i don't feel like spending 2 minutes battling with the kb just to type a few words.

i bought smart keyboard pro, and i don't regret it, even though i don't always use it. the developer is extremely responsive, and always answers my questions within minutes, so i don't mind supporting them. i find it to be a really interesting kb replacement, it's worth checking out. and no, i'm not affiliated with them lol.

Rebooting worked. I forget the simple things sometimes. Thanks!

[Hero CDMA General] MilkPudding:
I've noticed this problem on my phone too. And it's been bothering me for quite some time. Every time the on screen keyboard pops up, whatever I typed is not shown till at least 3-5 sec later.
[Hero CDMA General] Jon.StatiK:
I'm taking this as a hunch as for one I'm no code junky or related to that but does it seems that if the stock 2.1 android MMS app has no problems with keyboard lag could it be that the older version of these mms apps is "interacting" with the keyboard in an incorrect way causing the lag?

I'm using the Stock 2.1 Android mms app and can comfirm that there is no lag there but if I type anything like replying to a forum post or use google search widget it still lags. Can it be that these apps/apks are "older" version and have yet to be updated with some sort of newer code for the keyboard?
[Hero CDMA General] riddlebox1980:
I too have the keyboard lag, but that doesnt bother me as much as the dialer lag! When dialing numbers on ANY rom even stock rom, there is so much lag I will end up pressing end three of 4 times because it doesnt end. Then all of a sudden it will end and then call the last person I called. So annoying, I have installed proximity sensor which helps me some but just dialing a number gets to be so frustrating. Please anyone help!

I cannot send mms only sms with the stock app...Did I do something wrong????
[Hero CDMA General] Dan330:
i will give you all my .02$ on this....

I noticed on my phone.. when I was low on internal memory, the keyboard started to show more lag. I use Quick Systems Info app to give me memory info. I am running DC 2.07.2 with the old A2SD app.

At first ROM load the phone was relatively empty of apps and the memory was also empty.. So everything including the kb was fast.. no lag. then as i added more apps to the phone and internal memory was going down, it started to show more lag. I have vibrate kb on. as the memory got up to 90mb full and up, it really got bad and then it hit 100mb... it was very bad especially in web typing.

I just got the new A2SD app and installed it. I went from 108mb down to 40mb!!!!! :eek: wow :eek:

Now, i have more room to add more apps, and!!!!!.........

my kb is back to fast .. and no lag. that is with vibrate on, predict on, sense (love it), and Live wallpaper!!

well, I do see a lag still, but is is very minor, like about .01-.2 secs.

So, all you guys/gals out there with KB lag...

question... How much internal memory do you have left?? Check it out!... You might need to install the newest version of A2SD.!!!
[Hero CDMA General] Jon.StatiK:
internal storage is sitting at 149mb and have a class 6 sdcard with swap@30 and dalvik on it. apps shouldnt be the issue for me.

Re:

everyone one I want you to try thus.

download a memory manager and set the last one to 50mb free. and then try it.

I went back to the Eris leak and there is no lag in nothing except when handcent gets that pop up message when recievibg a text message. I also have the sound on and my keyboard is fine. I don't like the virlbration so I didn't do much testing with it. it someone is considering to switch to the Eris leak and want the cons key me know and I will post what are the cons for me.

have keyboard lag as well. texting in any text box.

running villianrom 5.5 with sense 2.1

turning haptic feedback off fixes it. but i like haptic, i shouldn't have to turn it off.

tried a few keyboards.

having some good success with better keyboard $2.99USD and a dark gray skin.

also running app killer and auto memory manager on aggressive settings, at any given time it keeps more than ~80Mb ram free.... still experimenting
[Hero CDMA General] A_Guy71:
I have Smart Keyboard Pro and I experience a little lag only when I am typing pretty fast, and even then I usually get most words right anyway. It's a great keyboard replacement for the HTC one. Only con I have for it is that it sometimes gets 2-3 letter words mixed up. If I accidentally type "ti" instead of "to", it thinks ti is a word...when it isn't at all. But the word prediction and spell correction work great otherwise. I am getting more accurate with the keyboard as well so I think that helps.
[Hero CDMA General] oppey31:
Not sure if anyone said this already, didn't read entire thread. But I have turned off the vibration on the keyboard. settings>language&keyboard>touch input>custom vibration length....and set it to zero. This seems to fix my problem with it - now no lag.

To fix the keyboard lag during texting, remove Mms.apk (and Mms.odex if you're on an odexed ROM) and push the stock Android Mms.apk to /system/app...there's no lag with sound and haptic feedback off. I haven't tried with sound/haptic, but with the Android Mms.apk I can finally live with 2.1.

my keyboard lag problem resolved

Hello,

I've read through every post and nobody mentioned this. Recently I've been having a lot of keyboard lag issues. What it would do is freeze up in the middle of typing and whatever app I was in (Handcent, Touchdown, Browser, etc) would give a "FC or Wait" message. If I hit wait it would recover but loose what I recently typed. I assumed it was the "Ultra Keyboard" I was using so I uninstalled it and went back to stock (I'm not even rooted... one of these days...). That did the exact same thing. I also tried Better Keyboard, which I had purchased before discovering Ultra. Same thing. I uninstalled several apps that were running as Services and the problem went away. I then added them back one at a time and tested for the problem. The problem has been much better since removing "Estrongs Task Manager." Of course I had my keyboard apps and other important apps on the ignore list, but perhaps other services such as Google Calendar etc that I don't use were starting up in the background and causing lag? What do you think? Is this similar to the issue you're experiencing?

Thanks,

Bryan

[Hero CDMA General] neuro_genesis:
by far my favorite ROM ive encountered.
[Hero CDMA General] Powers16:
My knowledge is very dirty on the subject but i remember something like this from the google documentary videos ( i watched them all) and i so happened to have watched this one segment on development for games. They said that every time you touch the screen no matter if you are in a game, video, music player, anything, the system has to do a **** load of a-b-c-d calls to through the kernel before that touch gets recognized. Maybe its not software related at all? Some people have different problems on different phones i noticed. for instead on a un related thread i read earlier someone was polling wether or not their phones with x serial number and y serial number were able to overclock passed 710, well, phones with x serial were able to and phones with y serial were only able to be stable on 710 mhz due to the fact of the quality of the chips on their phone.

I firmly believe that the keyboard lag is more hardware than software.

You can take this with a grain of salt or you can look into it... Its just my observation of things as you can figure out by my post/join date i am more of an observationalist than a journalist compared to some users here.

Hope this helps.

My 2 cents:

RegawMOD has been the absolute best rom for me and is my daily use ROM. I don't even flash anymore.
[Hero CDMA General] Irisht:
Right there with ya Jerr! I do notice a tad bit of lag from time to time but only in landscape (which I never use anyways). Portrait mode has zero lag!!! I stopped flashing as well. Regaw2.1 is currently my end all. Till a stable port of froyo comes along. :rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA General] macvalentine:
alright im on fresh 2.3.3 and recently the lag on the keyboard has been botherin me

any ideas on what i could do?

im usin handcent and the xda keyboard with no haptic but still lag

example: when i type at a normal pace not super fast or anythin i can finish typin before the word even shows up, sometime the letter i choose will get stuck and im tryin to hit another letter but it shows up as its symbol or number as if i long pressed it

also im usin an OC kernel

any ideas?
[Hero CDMA General] BronYrAur:
I flashed the Honeybun Rom about 3 weeks ago, and have been running at 710mhz with UV kernel. The stock keyboard was pretty lag-free, better than most roms. But, I checked out Better Keyboard on the market, and there's a link to the developer's site with a Beta version, free apk and it works Awesome. Zero lag. Great keyboard.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] HeroMeng:
Before you say anything, yes, I DID A SEARCH. What I'm looking for is a white vanilla taskbar with all the vanilla icons. That's it, no rosie or lockscreen or any mods. Just the vanilla taskbar. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jus10o:
What rom do you use? And what lockscreen do you use?

Because some of the icons that the task bar uses is inside the same thing that the lockscreen uses. (im pretty sure) So when changing the taskbar, it will change your lockscreen. All the other stuff is simple, just delete rosie.apk and dialer.apk and so on and rezip the file.

What about this one.. and just delete the rosie.apk

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5023390&postcount=8
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] CarbonKang:
not if you just change the png.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
It would have to be a MetaMorph then, as the taskbar elements are spread across the same files that contain the rosie and the vanilla lockscreen elements.

Why not just take an existing one and replace the roise and lockscreen graphics with the ones you want?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] CarbonKang:
Grr let me understand why you cant just change the color to white? if you did that it would make it how he would want it right?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jus10o:
It wouldnt look right, the icons are big black boxes that blend with the taskbar. Make it white and you have big black box icons with a white taskbar. And you would have to change the color of the time.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
...and the color of the notification text...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] CarbonKang:
Then why not go in the res, and make the icons transparent? (the black box part)

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS: I am running DamageControl 2.07.2, and what I want is NOT an HTC taskbar with a white background, I want an actual AOSP taskbar. Just like the pic posted above. EDIT: I'm also using the android 2.0 rotary lockscreen.

Does anyone experience extreme heat while plugged in? I know this has been discussed elsewhere bute I like the idea of a dedicated thread. Mine gets as hot as 50°c or 122°F. That's blistering hot to me. Does anyone knows if google plans a fix? I'd be happy not to have to worry about my phone frying in the cradle.
[Nexus One Accessories] uansari1:
Totally not worth a dedicated thread since it's being discussed ad nauseum in the other thread.
[Nexus One Accessories] logger:
Where are you measuring the temp from? Mine gets hot in the car dock too but not overly. I figure google will have tested it. So am not really concerned.

If you want to mitigate the heat while it is charging in the car dock, simply minimise what the phone is doing. ie no nav/gps and screen off. You could for example do this 5 or 10 minutes before your destination and it may be somewhat cooler when you take it out of the dock. Obviously this may not be appropriate as you might need to use it at this point. Just a suggestion though if the heat is a real concern to you.
[Nexus One Accessories] SPAS79:
Well If that's the case then mods please move the thread or merge it. My phone gets really hot and I'm measuring it with juice plotter. I Guess it's pretty accurate.
[Nexus One Accessories] logger:
I am sure is accurate. But I would only get concerned myself, if the phone case itself was alarmingly hot and I feared something was melting or burning. I am not worried about what Temp battery apps or the inbuilt Testing reports. I figure the phone system will shut it self down or reduce load if thresholds are reached.
[Nexus One Accessories] SPAS79:
yeah that's right. But anyway I do not think a temp of 50 celsius is exactly healty for the battery. We do not all live in Alaska and it might get mighty hot in southwest texas or southern Italy... In addiction I think the warmth has something to do with the screen as pretty much EVERY TIME I take the phone off the car dock the screen calibration is all f'd up. I seldom experienced that before but now it is 95% of the times I take it off the car dock. Sometimes even when plugged into the dock.

I love the phone and the dock, and this is maybe the only one glitch I found so far, but is really very annoying when it happens.

If anybody could help I would really appreciate that.

Also, any answer like "put it in front of the AC outlet" to me is pointless. It should not get that hot. period. and owning a Camaro it is not that easy to figure out a good spot to glue the disc on, surely not near an A/C vent...
[Nexus One Accessories] Sistum Id:
I don't have the official Nexus One car dock but I have a car dock. Mine is pretty hot after I take it out. GPS on, dimness auto on, screen timeout off, audio to stereo, and charging.

I would say it's not the docks problem but rather its the heavy use of the phone. I've read this is normal on the nexus one since it's got a 1ghz processor. Heavy use = heat.

I've got heat issues in Phoenix but I'm confident it will be fine this summer.
[Nexus One Accessories] MaximReapage:
Ironically, i DO live in Alaska, and noted it was a bit warm charging, playing music, and using GPS navigation.

[Desire General] mcgon1979:
The video quality is not very good. I was under the impression (from reviews) before I bought my Desire that it would record at close to 30 frames per second (fps), but I'm only getting frame rates of 13 - 16fps which is brutal. My nokia used to record at 28 - 30fps.

Was I wrong to think the Desire would do 30fps? I know the HD recording was not coming etc, but I thought 30fps was standard.

brutal.
[Desire General] abc27:
It is standard alright. My Nokia N95 8GB from 3 years ago took much smoother videos @30FPS. Hell, even an LG Viewty from 3 years ago can record at 120FPS and that's not even a smartphone.

We're getting 720P recording so i'm assuming they will fix the FPS issue aswell with the video recording. If they don't then I can only imagine how slow 720P recording will be.
[Desire General] Zackarydoo:
I've noticed the same thing and am quite annoyed about it. I've realised through testing that the brighter it is, the higher the fps is. I got it up to 20fps today outside but indoors its more like 10fps even when using lower resolutions. Maybe the reviewers should have tested this rather than just quoting the specs.

Sent from my HTC Desire using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
[Desire General] leoon:
what do u mean by this? is it sure that the desire will be able to record videos at 720p?
[Desire General] abc27:
The Snapdragon CPU supports 720P encoding and decoding hat and apparently HTC confirmed that DivX and 720P recording will be coming to the Desire in an update.

Let's hope they keep their word.
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
Yeah I agree, the reviewers should have done their homework instead of 'guessing' the stats. I guess they thought it impossible that the Desire could have anything less than 30fps. The Nexus one is listed as 20fps minimum rate. Is it really faster than Desire?

GSM arena who are normally very reliable had 30fps as the Desire recording rate until recently. now its 15fps on their Desire stats page.

I would not even be bothered if HTC don't bring in HD video recording, once they at least bring 30fps at 800x480. I mean its a 1ghz phone with plenty of RAM, this should be a piece of pie for it to handle. My nokia had a 300mhz chip and 128mb of RAM and did it no problem. (640x480 @ 30fps)
[Desire General] Jasand:
Well personall I think the video recording is pretty good. Its definately better than my old Xperia X1.
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
10 - 15fps is 'passable' but not very good in real world terms. Certainly not on a cutting edge 1ghz phone thats capable (hardware wise) of recording 720p at 30fps. I used to get 30fps video from my old N82 and its more fluid than on the Desire. As I say, its passable on Desire, but I think 30fps is pretty much the accepted minimum for the past while. Lets hope it comes in an update.
[Desire General] lukacs.attila:

[Desire General] mcgon1979:
there are alot of Desire made videos on youtube already. just do a search. They look 'ok', some of them, but the original files are still only about 16 - 18 fps at best! 30fps nakes the video seem more fluid. You'd really need to compare side by side to see the difference I mean. (I attached 30fps nokia clip at bottom. WOW for the difference. very obvious)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dnxcfjq3QvE (desire at 15fps)

and another

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnRpOSP0U-o (desire at 15fps)

and now compare to the lower res 640x480 Nokia but filmed at almost double frame rate of 30fps. Very fluid and sharp.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojt5LS4LFZc (Nokia X6 at 30fps)

I think alot of people will be impressed and happy enough with this level of video recording. I was just irked as I expected 30fps and thought that was pretty much the minimum on new phones now.

thx . i think the vid qlty is gud on desire .... hmmmm .... better than x1 anywayz by the looks of it
