Using spare parts and setting all the window animations and transitions to very slow has made everything "smoother" to me for all purposes of discussion. during the slow but smooth transition, my phone has time to fully load the next screen or popup menu, therefore it all appears to happen seamlessly.
[Android Software Development] Sichroteph:
android is very smooth on my Hd2 ... Did you try a cyanogen mod build ?
[Android Software Development] flynny:
Sorry, i was referring more towards the GPU being actively used by the UI front end.

Im using a Legend with Azure's cyanogen mod (froyo) things are pretty slick but I can tell when there are slowdowns, but the worst offender is definately the web browser.

The best example I can find is going to the html5 test website, I get a score of around 180 and the iphone about 140, but the legend browser (built in and Dolphin) really struggles to scroll that page, whereas on the Iphone its extremely smooth. Its these kind of inconsistencies which are annoying.

Another gripe is the whole portrait-landscape switch, its not gpu based in the least and its a rather half assed solution at the minute (visually). But I understand that no app could ever interfere with how this works as its so deep in the os? Such a shame.

I work in animation which is why im overly critical ;)

[EVO 4G General] bcnice20:
Don't thank me gbhil is the one who unearthed it I just noticed it n the Droid forums on android central I basically did nothing;)
[EVO 4G General] myndwire:
does it have no sound, or is it silenced because of the silenced boot animation from my damagecontrol rom? (i dunno if it's part of that zip or a separate file that enables/disables sound).
[EVO 4G General] itmustbejj:
Is this the same boot animation as the droid 2 bootanimation all over youtube?
[EVO 4G General] Kykiskly:
Nop. This is totally different.
[EVO 4G General] kiddecks:
i'm running fresh .3 and it's silent as well. unfortunate, but no biggie because it looks great
[EVO 4G General] myndwire:
damn, i was really hoping for the 'drrroiiiiiddd', lol. even though it's a VZ thing, i do admit, it really is a cool marketing scheme that nobody else even got close to.
[EVO 4G General] KyleK29:
Anyone able to successfully rip off their multi-touch onscreen keyboard?
[EVO 4G General] Kykiskly:
Here :DMulti Touch KB

Just install it as a regular APK, then go to your KB settings and enable it. I noticed a tiny bug in it when you go to the number pad.

Enjoy..
[EVO 4G General] engagedtosmile:

[EVO 4G General] ipawd1:
will the apk push for the live wallpaper work for the droid? Curious to see.
[EVO 4G General] MagnusRagnarok:
you just made my day. this is awesome man. good job. time to make a new update for finisher....thanks you da man...o, btw sorry i spelled your name wrong in the other thread, i see it alot but i never spelled it before:D​
[EVO 4G General] bcnice20:
Dang yall already got the kb running to nice. time for me to try and get dlna to work pray lol

What live wallpaper is this?
[EVO 4G General] Kykiskly:
Are you referring to me :D. it is Kykiskly lol, 3 ks in between + 2 ys (1front-1end) + 1 i :D

Easy
[EVO 4G General] Kykiskly:
See the video in the first post.
[EVO 4G General] bcnice20:
Seems. the link isn't working for me on the kb. did yall have to alter it in anyway or did it just work
[EVO 4G General] Kykiskly:
What do you mean it isnt working?

Is it not downloading?

or

Is it not installing?

I clicked on it and it downloaded fine to my PC.
[EVO 4G General] bcnice20:
Wouldn't download its probably because I'm on my phone but I've. used those links before and they down. just fine hmm guess I gotta hop on the pc
[EVO 4G General] Kykiskly:
Ok I am out guys,

Good luck with those :)

Thanks pseudoremora ;)
[EVO 4G General] TheMostToys:
Mic not working on KB

Thanks for the KB. The multitouch works great, but the microphone button (speech to text) does not work. It seems to record but then gives an unable to connect message.

Cheers
[EVO 4G General] bcnice20:
Probably a lib file has to be added or the voice search on our phone may not be compatible with it
[EVO 4G General] Psosmith82:
I got the MT keyboard, but the LWP, do you need root access to use it? If i go to install as apk, it says it going to replace something so i didnt install it
[EVO 4G General] kjones2k1:
Do I have to "push" the LWP.apk to the EVO or can I just install it like a normal apk?
[EVO 4G General] soxozor:
Works fine for me. Some custom roms remove voice speech.

Install apk like any other app.
[EVO 4G General] casual864:
Great freaking work man! I love this stuff. HTC EVO! FTW!
[EVO 4G General] Jollibee:
at first, I was thinking of getting Droid X for the multi-touch. Then BAM

awesome job
[EVO 4G General] Jykinturah:
HOLY WHAT THAT WAS LOUD. Well, I decided it was a bit too loud, so I modified it to be a bit quieter.

In the zip there are two revisions, revision 1 is quieter, revision 2 is quietest.

I also made it mono so it is smaller now.

Enjoy.

Credits go to pseudoremora and Kykiskly. All I did was lower the volume.

[EVO 4G General] ao7996:
Great work getting this keyboard out so quick.... a HUGE improvement over the stock EVO one (IMO) and a nice alternative to swype.
[EVO 4G General] ao7996:
fwiw, the speech to text function is working fine on this keyboard for me inside if Colornote, messages, and internet.
[EVO 4G General] Kykiskly:
Hey Guys;

What is new? Any improvements? I will try getting the droiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid sound along with the new boot screen.

--Edit--- Sorry working on my Girlfriend Mac and I dont have the SDK here to test. Will do it as soon as I get home.
[EVO 4G General] sweteg:
Just when I was getting accustomed to Swype haha. That's a damn nice keyboard. I like how the word choice is no longer a pop-up box.
[EVO 4G General] asicguy:
Live wallpaper problem

I was able to get the boot screen, but the sound is the same as the sprint one, is that correct?

I also installed the live wallpaper as instructed, it shows up but when I select it, I get:

The application Android Live wallpapers (process com.android.wallpaper) has stopped unexpectedly. Please Try Again.

I am running stock .6 rooted (I'm sure) and nand unlocked (Pretty sure).

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] spoocobra:
Complete new guy here, dumb question. Do i have to be rooted to install the keyboard or use the SDK way to install it?

Thanks for all the great work!!
[EVO 4G General] rooster94:
Im also having this issue. Anyone been able to get it to work?
[EVO 4G General] chazybaz13:
I also get the live wallpapers force close when i try to use the driodx wallpaper. Running omj rom
[EVO 4G General] BrianDigital:
worked on mine, i got the lastest damage rom
[EVO 4G General] deadlikeoscar:
Two questions.

One: Any way to install the live wallpaper without having root? My Incredible is being a *****. I have tried 4 different sd cards: The 2 GB one that came with the phone, an 8 GB SanDisk I had from my Storm, the 2 GB PNY that some people had success with and also the 4 GB Kingston. I really don't want to drop 60 dollars on a 16 GB card that is supposed to work since the Kingston was supposed to be 100% reliable as well. I have tried every method out there I could find and I don't know how many attempts but I am just calling it quits for now. Maybe after a week or so I will try again.

Two: Okay got sound working with my boot animation so that part is cool.
[EVO 4G General] B3RL1N:
The keyboard works great!

There is truly a difference in the keyboard itself. It registers my input much more precisely. I switched back to the stock and it was selecting characters adjacent to where I was pressing.

Just feels cramped though. The text screen is so tiny and I preferred the bubble pop ups over the permanent suggestion banner. Also, I do love the long hold keys from the stock.

While it's a great keyboard, if it had the same functionality as the HTC stock I'd be sold.

Were any of you able to get this keyboard working on any of the Froyo roms?

Thank, installing ..............

Well, i think it need a little bit of....color! Still like better the default kb
[EVO 4G General] B3RL1N:
Too busy texting, lol.

Beat me to it. :)

Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] mogulust:
I didn't realize you have to long press on a text input field and select the keyboard, so it's working now. So far I do have far fewer errors using the multitouch kb, but I do like the way the shortcuts work better on the stock evo kb and I think the auto correction works better with the stock kb. And how are you all dealing with having no arrow keys with no trackball/pad, it's a little annoying for me so far?
[EVO 4G General] edtate:
Is it just me, or does the vibration function when inputting text not work. Sorry if this has already been addressed earlier in the thread, but I read through most of it and didn't see it brought up.

Just wanted to say thanks to XDA developers in general for all the great stuff, but I want to share my experience with the multitouch keyboard on my EVO...

youtube.com/watch?v=whK3MQbVNcY (can't post links)

My qualms with the EVO has been they keyboard on forum reply boxes... That's why I've been looking for alternatives... I originally posted this on androidforums but figured I might as well post here too...

This issue is not limited to just the Droid keyboard, but all hacks I've tried to date...
[EVO 4G General] mogulust:
I definitely have no lag like your video shows with the multitouch kb. Haven't tried any others besides stock.
[EVO 4G General] Tundricles:
same problem with hero's new froyo rom,.. guess it doesn't work on froyo, or maybe any roms? what roms are u ppl using?
[EVO 4G General] vinscuzzy:
There is definitely a lag, but only in the browser, not in text messages or any other text entry window. But I must say, your delay definitely seems longer. I can't get mine to fall that far behind.
[EVO 4G General] Tundricles:
ya tried that it force closes as usual, i give up, swype is heaps better anyways
[EVO 4G General] DSwarP:
Holy crap. Is there a way to get that Power Control widget off there? The one with Wi-Fi, BT, Profile, Airplane, Sync, GPS, and Screen Brightness? Looks amazingly useful.

Really hope that isn't something I can just get from the market lol.
[EVO 4G General] bcnice20:
Thats already on our phones long press screen click add widget and go down to power control
[EVO 4G General] DSwarP:

[EVO 4G General] plmiller0905:
I installed the boot animation and the sound but the sound only says "droid" and that's it. Then the red eye comes on and no sound. Can someone please help me get sound?

Edit: I did reinstall it and still i do not get any sound on the Red Eye...It only says "Droid".....

Don't know if this matters or not, but I'm using Damage Control Rom which doesn't have bootup sound so i don know if that would make a difference.

Thanks
[EVO 4G General] Kykiskly:
That is what is suppose to happen. I am getting a new droid sound (extended one) that can last long enough along with the red eye :D. Will post the link in a few.
[EVO 4G General] plmiller0905:
lmao..I feel dumb now. The way people was talking saying that it is very loud, I was expecting a little more....I mean the only thing it said was Droid and that was it....

Hi, does anybody have a link to the stock evo livewallpaper.apk I forgot to backup the one on my phone. Droid is cool but i like the evo nexus live wall paper also
[EVO 4G General] AlKapwned:
I have the keyboard working just fine, but how do I install the wallpaper? Every program I use to install the file fails. Do I need to go into the system/app folder and replace the LiveWallpapers.apk with this one?
[EVO 4G General] deviouskater:
yep i would suggest making a backup of your stock livewallpaper.apk

could you send me a copy of your backup for the good advice
[EVO 4G General] AlKapwned:
Here you go. I hope it works for you.
[EVO 4G General] deviouskater:
thank you so much. I really appreciate it.

Droid x wall is cool but it does lag abit especially when switching to landscape. i suggest going into preferences and appearance setting and turn off background scrolling. it helps a little. i have launcher pro
[EVO 4G General] itmustbejj:
Maybe I'm missing something, but what is so great about this multitouch keyboard? There's not even a voice input button. I'm still waiting for a successful port of the droidx swype keyboard :) *crosses fingers*
[EVO 4G General] driguez:
Idk, but so far i like it better than the hacked HTC one.
[EVO 4G General] norkoastal:
Um... My DroidX keyboard has a nice shiny mic button (left of space on landscape/portrait).. Works great..
[EVO 4G General] itmustbejj:
not to threadjack, but driguez how is autoruns working for you so far? I love it.
[EVO 4G General] itmustbejj:
What apk did you use? I installed with the repackaged-signed.apk found in some thread (forgot which one). Can you point me to a link of the one you used?

And do you have the &amp issue on yours?

Edit: This is strange, I was just testing out the keyboard with the quicksearch button and there is no mic there, but there is everywhere else. Maybe b/c of the mic button at the top in the quicksearch?
[EVO 4G General] norkoastal:
I used the link provided by the OP. There is a second link to Megaupload provided on the first page.. I am not sure where the issue is.. I have Voice Control setup on the phone and run the Damage 3.2 ROM.

OK....I'm coming around to this keyboard :)
[EVO 4G General] bhagiratha:
I tried installing the android live wallpapers.apk, and get those messages:

this is a system application. do you still want to replace it?

All previous user data will be saved.

After I get this notice, the installer fails to install the apk.

any ideas?

I am on an evo [rooted] with Fresh ROM 0.3
[EVO 4G General] Kykiskly:
To all that are having issues,

Please read and do as I instructed in the first post on the procedures. Do not try using different methods. The reasons why I gave the instructions is because I tested myself tricking the phone but it didnt work.

Not being rude, all I am trying is to avoid asking senseless questions when the answers are there.

Thanks in advance :D
[EVO 4G General] itmustbejj:
Kykiskly, is the shift button working for you? I assume that when you hold the shift button down you should be able to use the symbols or numbers? When I hold the shift button down it pops up a multi-touch keyboard menu with "android keyboard settings and %1$d:%2$02d:%3$02d" as options
[EVO 4G General] driguez:
No dice... :/ Cant figure out why.

[EVO 4G General] lakeside00:
is there any way to get the kb working with haptic feedback, i miss that from the hacked htc kb
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
You just saved me some time, if haptic feedback does not work with the keyboard this is not an option. On a side note, I'm feeling that Nigerian flag.

I DID THE same thing look back a couple of pages. someone posted a link to the stock evo livewallpaper.apk

I have tried to install the live wallpaper ably 5 times. It says it was transferred, but when I go to change the wallpaper it just has the same ones I had before. I am running the stock Rom with root. I am new to adb, do I need to be in recovery mode for it to work?
[EVO 4G General] Capsyze:

[EVO 4G General] apexi350z:
How do you revert back to original Sprint 4G boot animation?
[EVO 4G General] Capsyze:
the same way i assume just use this original sprint animation in place of droid x animation

Instructions to install:

1. adb remount

2. adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource (assuming that the zip ins in the sdk/tools folder)

3. adb reboot

okay i put the keyboard apk on my sd and installed via file exlplorer but its not there. so i try to install via adb and it tells me insufficient memory..any help?

Keyboard works just fine here. Stock evo with unrevoked.
[EVO 4G General] BigBallin:
another question, i am running freshrom and did the command to push the boot animation but i renamed the zip droidx.zip

so my command is

adb push droidx.zip /system/customize/resource

right?
[EVO 4G General] Capsyze:
yea but i think you wanna leave it named bootanimation.zip

im very new to android and sdk (2 weeks or less) but im pretty sure you wanna just name it bootanimation.zip

thats my thought unless someone would like to chime in like i said im new and learning.
[EVO 4G General] jkinnison90:
anyone know if any roms are trying to be made out of this?
[EVO 4G General] BigBallin:
even when i leave it named bootanimation i still get the same bootscreen. i dont get the droid one im pushing..and it says it went through

Laptop-5:~ kgirouex$ cd /Users/kgirouex/Documents/android/sdk/tools/

[EVO 4G General] saywhat4118:
So im guessing this will not work with Froyo? or has someone got it to work?
[EVO 4G General] pseudoremora:
Please follow these steps:

./adb shell
cd /system/customize/resource
rm bootanimation.zip
exit
./adb remount
./adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource
./adb shell reboot

Please report back any errors you get.

This should work on Froyo, I see no reasons why it wouldn't.
[EVO 4G General] kluster1999:
It definitely does NOT work on froyo.
[EVO 4G General] pseudoremora:
Sorry, but that's not true.

I can confirm 100% that the bootanimation.zip

and

soundbite WILL work with Froyo.

The reason why it wasn't working in Froyo before was because the bootanimation.zip was being pushed to the wrong folder (/system/customize/resource). Since Froyo is basic vanilla android, the folder structure of the ROM is different, thus the bootanimation.zip needs to be pushed to /system/media, instead of /system/customize/resource.

I flashed Hero_Froyo_1 and after checking the folder structure of the ROM, /system/media does exist and that's where all your default bootanimations should go in your running any form of a vanilla android (Non-HTC Sense).

To install the Droidx or any other bootanimation.zip on Froyo:

**Copy the bootanimation.zip file to your Android-sdk\tools folder first!**

You can also download the bootup sound below, unzip the file, and then copy the file inside to your Android-sdk\tools as well.

Windows Commands:

adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
adb push bootup.mp3 /system/media -- Optional, don't need it
adb shell reboot

Linux/Mac commands:

./adb remount
./adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
./adb push bootup.mp3 /system/media -- Optional, don't need it
./adb shell reboot

OP, please put the bootup.zip on the first page. Thank you.
[EVO 4G General] Capsyze:
Well i still can't get sound on boot animation im fully rooted on damaged rom 3.2 FOR EVO...

maybe he has his put some where else?

so i downloaded the droidx animation in zip format. am i supposed to unzip that and push it? but what comes out of the zip file is a file named bootanimation.zip.cpgz
[EVO 4G General] Capsyze:
No you dont unzip it

on the fresh rom the boot animation is in system/media
[EVO 4G General] kluster1999:
Sorry, I thought you were talking about the keyboard working in froyo, not the boot animation.
[EVO 4G General] mrmomoman:
the Keyboard would be great to work in Froyo along with the EVO X that I just installed.

I use SmartKeyboard Pro as well. it's pretty snappy but I do like the Droid X keyboard though.
