To other users here that are working on the DroidX Swype keyboard (the subject of this thread), I just want to prevent you from wasting your time with the .zip this guy keeps reposting all over here. He isn't testing or fixing anything, in case you didn't catch that.

The "final version" .zip that he is posting contains a stock Android keyboard, Skype that doesn't work outside of Verizon, and he deleted the MotoX swype that needs tweaking to not FC (again, the point of this thread) and put it a craptastic 1.56 green version that has no mic button and isn't based on the MotoX version at all.

[ignore]MagnusRagnarok[/ignore]

The only useful thing in this thread so far is the link to the system dump and the multi-touch kb that Kykiskly posted (thank you).
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] timothydoanpham:
umm i just installed the magnus pack for his version of swype and it overrode my multitouch kb, when i tried reinstalling the multitouch it says it can't install.... how do i fix this error?

edit:

better yet how do i uninstall everything that the package installed?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] enragedpaza:
would say a nandrestore. His package writes to system. Did you try installing the apk posted for multi touch kb again?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jabbawalkee:
I hope we can get the widgets from Droid X dump working on our Evos...I'd love for someone to port the dump!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] soxozor:
+1

"His" skinned swype can be found in Droid Inc section. Skype doesn't work. Useless. He doesn't even test it. Ignore him.

can't install multi touch. >_< and i stupidly didn't do a nandroid backup. looks like i'm going to have to reflash everything.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] enragedpaza:
lol, make a note to yourself...... Allways do a nand backup, when doing stuff like this. I'm not trying to come off as an a-hole neither, please take no offense ;)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] enragedpaza:
Yeah thats the bug he mentioned. It's not that bad of an issue in my opinion. At least it works, and well. Love hitting 2 letters at once and actually writing both. :D I was so geeked when i saw this on engadget, glade it came to our phone so fast!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] timothydoanpham:
none taken. lol.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] enragedpaza:
Just do a backup of apps and reflash the ROM of your choice. Then, install the apk someone posted for the multitouch kb. I made a post with a zip file of all the notifications, ringtones, and alarm sounds if you are interested. The rooster is loud for my alarm clock lol

yeah i saw your post i was going to download it after i fixed my multi-touch >_< i'm just going to start from scratch again wasn't to hard. most of the mods i did i still have on my sd card so eh. from now on always do a nandroid back up before i apply a patch. lol.

So this Multi-Touch keyboard...is this what you all are talking about? http://www.viddler.com/explore/engadget/videos/1541/

Yeah I learned that when messing with my nexus when it first came out
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] enragedpaza:
Yes, but most people want the swype keyboard from Droid X. But it comes back with an error
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MRFERRARI23:
what apk file is that for exactly?? is that the multitouch kb??? and it works fine?? when you installed it, did it over write anything or does it just show up as another kb choice in the input section??
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dteze88:
Here you go, works great on my EVO. Its great! :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MRFERRARI23:
KB IS AWESOME!!! WORKS LIKE A CHARM, TY FOR GETTING IT TO US!!! IPHONE WHO??? LET ME SEE YOU DO THIS ON AN IPHONE LMAO!! Meaning being able to port stuff to it!!

BTW has anyone gotten the video editing app working on the evo or the battery app?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JMac202:
How did you get it to work on your Evo.

I installed it fine. When I go to language & kb I can enable Multitouch but that's it. No mutitouch kb shows up. There is a multi kb settings but when I go to touch input it's not under keyboard type or anywhere that I can find.

Can you help me out?

Much thanks.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jabbawalkee:
That's because you have to long press on a text input field (such as where text is entered in the Messaging app) until a dialog pops up. It'll say "Input Method," hit it, then select "Multi-touch keyboard." Ugh the nuuuubs!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] seriousblack25:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] firemedic1343:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] itmustbejj:
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 Themes and Apps] norkoastal:
Why are you holding the button and not just selecting it?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] itmustbejj:
I thought that was the whole point of a multi touch keyboard :P I guess I just assumed since you could do it for the caps key you could do it for that key as well. I guess I was mistaken
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] enragedpaza:
na if you hold the period you get symbols, but to get numbers just tap symbol/settimgs
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] itmustbejj:
yeah i figured out about holding the period key. I just thought it made sense to be able to hold the symbol key and multitouch a key to get symbols. Oh well.

On our device, leds-microp seems to point to the notification LED near/inside the speaker port at the top. However, while searching through root explorer, looks like ours might be located here:

/sys/devices/platform/leds-gpio/leds/button-backlight/brightness

Edit: Ok, leds-gpio is definitely the correct path for our device. Just tried creating a gscript like in the threads above, but using the leds-gpio path and it kills the backlight on the bottom buttons, but they just come right back on lol...crap.

Going to try their other suggestions in that thread like removing or messing with the trigger file.

Edit2: Ok, here's a method that will work once per boot. Create a gscript with the following code and put a shortcut on one of your screens. You only need to press it once and then you're good until you reboot.

chmod 644 /sys/devices/platform/leds-gpio
echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/leds-gpio/leds/button-backlight/brightness

Once you reboot, the permissions are reset to their default settings on /sys/devices/platform/leds-gpio so that's why it only works once per boot. If we can somehow get this script to run at boot, it would essentially do what we want.

I've ported a couple eclair roms to the vogue and Ive only been able to get video playback to work once. I cant repeat it. I cant seem to figue out wich files I need for this to work.

Does anyone know what files exactly have to do with this that I need to relace in order to acheive this functionality? Thanks alot, I appreciate it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Nikolai2.1:
So im assuming that if you install that app to an UNrooted phone it just gives you a black screen when you open it?
[Droid Eris Android Development] g00gl3:
It will always give you a black screen, rooted or not. It comes into play automatically when an app requests SU permissions. At that point you would receive a Superuser message asking to allow or deny. Hope that helps...
[Droid Eris Android Development] Nikolai2.1:
Ohh okay. Thanks! So this will sound really stupid, but how come we cant just install this apk and run rooted stuff with the superuser permissions on a regular phone?
[Droid Eris Android Development] abn75:
Rooted stuff says it all.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Marisa:
Superuser.apk needs 'su', which is not on the phone and needs to be written to sections that are read-only.

hmm..

This is true... I should have thought about that haha
[EVO 4G General] pixelpop:
OK, this is probably a dumb question, but I can't find anything on this question anywhere. I have been playing with my stock EVO when, on a couple of occasions, a menu pops up in the middle fo the screen. I can't find any reference to this m enu in the users guide, nor can I reproduce the touches/button presses that it takes to get it to come up. But it looks interesting. It's a full color menu that covers approximately a thiord of the screen's center, with six icons. Since I can't get it to come up again, I can't recall what exact menu items are displayed, but they are icons to applications such as calendar.

Has anyone else seen this menu and know how to get it to pop up consistently?
[EVO 4G General] oldmanwinter:
its your 6 most recently used applications. this happens when you hold down the home screen button.
[EVO 4G General] semo22:
Thats your recent items menu. Hold the home key for 3-4 seconds and it lists your six most recently used apps.

Well i've considered routing it but i have sent my phone in for repair twice already, and well doing so seems like it would void the warrently after reading a whole load of stuff on it
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnSteveDoe:
Apparently not enough stuff. The consensus is that rooting doesn't void your warranty (and there isn't anything in the warranty agreement that hints at it). Furthermore, there hasn't been one reported case of people not having their Desire repaired under warranty, even if obviously rooted, yet. The worst has been getting it back with a note from the engineering saying "Tut tut".
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonmall1441:
Hmm right... I'll try rooting this by the end of next week. Is win 64 bit a big problem when routing? Read that some people were having issues with 64 windows. Might try routing through ubuntu... Same process right?

I know this is totally off topic but which roms have you guys installed and is apps2sd simple enough to install?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnSteveDoe:
The whole SD partitioning process did my head in, so no clue about A2SD. I just use the default Froyo A2SD.

Running Modaco Custom ROM 2.2, very happy with it (if you can live without the camcorder).

As for rooting and Win64, I haven't encountered any issues using Nimbu's guide (steps 1, 2, 4, 5, using my normal SD card wherever it said goldcard, since I had the 0.75 bootloader).

is there a Task29 for HTC HD2 TMoUS??
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
task29 will work on any leo, you just need to be sure of what .nbh file you are using it with.

Personally i would probably use a splashscreen, cos theyre compatible with all leo's, but so long as you use a tmous radio file, that would work too.

(Tmous radios ALL have .50. in the version NEVER .51., , and don't use 2.06.50.x even though it has a 50 in the version, it is not tmous compatible.)

actually, i have just checked, and the link

"

RS mirror, by Sardelisp

h t t p://www.rapidshare.com/files/3616...5___task29.zip

"

(the last link in post one of the task29 thread)

comes with radio 2.08.50.05 which is tmous safe.

that's the "splashscreen" andit isn't partof the rom, task 29 or flashing other roms won't necessarily work. it occupies its own memory space, and you flash it just like radio or rom. some cooked roms and all official roms come with them built in, or you candownload and flash them yourself with customruu, and even make your own. just Google "leo hd2 splashscreen"

You jammed the jack inserting and removing the earphones. I suggest you open your audio player and get any music file playing. Then you take a thin screwdriver or similar and wiggle very lightly inside the jack. Until you will hear the music playing through the main speaker. Good Luck :)

I hope this isn't perceived as spamming or fishing for votes. I think most of us would like to see a smoother Android GUI instead of that choppyness on our 1GHz phones. I and many people believe that Google can do something about this but are not prioritizing this as they should. I think we can change this by visiting and voting here, clicking on the star under the headline, if we want to see a change: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6914

Who knows, if we start voting now, maybe they will implement this feature in the next Android version.

P.S. You need a Google account to be able to vote.

[Android Software Development] nanolite:
I'm glad to see that we are climbing on the chart of issues. :D

I have come to notice that the issue of the choppy Android experience is not only a problem because of the lack of GPU acceleration. Android phones tend to respond to our gestures way too exactly. This results in uneven transitions, one half of the animation is fast and the other half is slower. This unevenness being a result of us not making, or following through, with perfectly even movements in terms of speed. I believe this is something Apple has addressed and they did it very nicely because even though you are moving your fingers unevenly and slowly, the UI transitions follows your finger in an even and smooth fashion but in a speed that matches your finger. This looks phenomenal. Same goes for faster input gestures, the Ios (iOS) responds in an even and smooth fashion but the transition is faster.
[Android Software Development] Syc:
It was the same with my old HD1, the xda gpu-drivers helped alot. Looks like we'll have to take the matter into our own hands again.

Wasn't HTC mass-sued for this a while back?

Nope. There was a whole load of talk of it over the TyTn II debacle, but the only thing to ever come of that was the rather excellent XDA GPU drivers. :p
[Android Software Development] nanolite:
I hate to admit this, but if Google, or whoever it is responsible, doesn't do something about this, I'll have to look elsewhere (Iphone). It might sound crazy but it's that important to me. I mean, it's so basic. Why add mega-ultra-fiction features and all other sh*t, when you don't know how to make a smooth transition. The basic element of the GUI.

Don't get me wrong, I don't like Apple, their policy or their attitude towards the rest. However, I'm being honest about this: they care. I haven't seen one Android phone capable of delivering smooth transitions although they are more powerful than the Iphones. On the one hand you have a team utilizing the entire potential of their sh**ty phones, and on the other hand you have a team doesn't give a rats a*s about the hardware in them.

I don't know if Google is to blame or the phone manufacturers. I just don't like the idea of owning a 1 GHz CPU and an awesome GPU (Samsung Galaxy S) and not being able to use it.
