Swype?

Hey Folks,

I just was accepted for the swype beta, but when I install it I am unable to actually use the swypieness. I read on the swype forums that this happens with the Incredible and some ROMs, anyone here have it working or seen this issue?

PS

Can't wait for that update :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] roborob1969:
I'm on the Swype Beta, and have been using it just fine (using this ROM) since their latest update.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sheepforwheat:
I have had to switch keyboards then switch back to swype using input method selection. That fixes it. But it seems to be a frequent problem
[Droid Incredible Android Development] General Crespin:
Will you be retaining the Sense camera apps and dialer?

I've come to this ROM from Virtuous and I am really liking it so far. Particularly the Sense camera apps and dialer. :D

Of course, if I will be able to install those independently of the ROM, it's a moot point.

I have nothing against Virtuous, I just wanted to give stock Android a try. I liked what I saw in CyanogenMod, but I need something that supports the onboard memory, and so here I am. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ballerchris33:
Those impatient should use cm6. Bunch of themes. Its fast. And pure vanilla.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
Yes, use cm6 because it does things like this to your phone while it's booted. In this case, the Format SD card option actually formatted the /data partition to FAT32. Whoops!

Thanks to DHewitt for the pic.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] radiohead14:
the main reason i couldn't stay with cm was the camera.. the sense camera is just better with 8mp wide support, and the look is cleaner. the vanilla cam takes up a lot of the screen realty. i do like the dialer on cm tho

one other thing that i loved with cm is the ability to control the music player with the volume. you could rew and fwd by long pressing. and it even worked with poweramp. hope this feature gets implemented with skyraider.. it'd be my perfect rom
[Droid Incredible Android Development] boogachamp:
Thanks folks

Ihtfp69

Any update on the release of updated vanilla?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
It's coming along. There are only a couple more things to do before the release.

Work has been eating up more of my time so progress has been slow.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] erikcave:
I can't wait! Just sayin.

Will the new version allow us to update apps like gmail? That is the worst thing about the current Rom, being stuck with an old version of gmail.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ballerchris33:
Well, I am not saying your roms aren't good or that cm6 is perfect. CM6 has struggled with stability issues but it has gotten much better. And recently, there have been some nice themes ported to it.

I like your roms a lot, ihfp69. In fact, your roms sense and vanilla are the ones that I have preferred and used the most. They are very stable and you update them frequently. So hopefully you didn't take it the wrong way. I appreciate your work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] danman7:
Can I has new ROM plz? kthxbai :)

ETA?

Eagerly awaiting update. I haven't set up a new rom on my replacement handset since I got it. I've been waiting on 3.5 Vanillla.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
No eta, but I'm working on releasing it. Keep checking back.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Nomsy79:
Hey ihtfp69,

I was wondering what Kernel you would suggest to use once you release this version. I'm still using Kings Kernel at the moment.

Anyone have a good suggestion on another Kernel to try out?

Thanks for your hard work on this release...patiently waiting.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ElegantEsthetic:
Hey, I finally got around to rooting my Incredible after having it since the beginning of August. My primary motivation for doing so is unlocking wireless tether (like everyone else, I figure if I'm paying $30 for unlimited data I should be able to use it) and being able to experience Android without Sense.

I'm just wondering if someone could post a few more pictures/clarify that this is indeed a fully functional ROM that'll get me as close to Android as possible? I'm sorry if that seems disrespectful, but I'm going to be dropping $20 on an SD card just to boot a ROM so I want to make sure that it's as good as possible.

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ptsmith24:
I was using chads with it for a while and it worked pretty well for me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ballerchris33:
Functional Roms

Skyraider roms are "fully functional." But as far as other roms, you just have to read up on their respective threads to see exactly what they offer. Each rom has different features. And some roms are more stable than others. So you need to read the forums to see what sorts of bugs are floating around. Some roms have major problems no camera/camcorder, wifi problems, etc. I would stay way from those, but this one is legit.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] FramCire:
OK. In this thread I found a way to have my muic on internal memory read by mizxing..... BUT it wont read the playlists...... any ideas?

I sync all my music using doubletwist but only mixzing sees it.

Rumor is PowerAMP will use internal memory when 2.0 come out. Any chance it will see my playlists??
[Droid Incredible Android Development] KKellett:
Btunes works great
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
So does the built in player.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] KKellett:
Hey ihtfp69,

Since I enjoy your ROM so much and I just got my girlfriend an Evo, I was asking people in the Evo forums if they knew of anything similar to yours. This is one of the responses I got

Figured I'd ask you if this was possible and if so how to do since you are the one who put this badass ROM together.

Thanks again for all the amazing work
[Droid Incredible Android Development] FramCire:
I am new to rooting and I am liking this ROM so far. Can anyone answer a few questions?

1. Everytime you flash a new ROM, is there a way to restore your apps without having to grant the permissions to each one individually? Over 200 apps takes me a while to restore them all.

2. Any way to restore playlists? For whatever reason, mine didnt restore.

3. I am using SkyRaider Vanilla.... looking for a Kernel that is stable and might help with battery. Anyone got suggestions and might be able to help with other benefits to the kernel being suggested?

Either way, big thanks to the dev of this ROM. 1st Rom might be sticking with it for a while!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] roborob1969:
I'm using ziggy's ASOP kernel (see signature) and its been giving me outstanding battery life.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] KKellett:
I thought this ROM was not ASOP, but a stripped down sense, therefore we needed to use sense kernels
[Droid Incredible Android Development] FramCire:
I have never flashed a kernel before, so if you have the link to where to find it, I would appreciate it. I went to ziggy 471 site but couldnt find the one.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] KKellett:
I'm personally on Lou's #5 still not sure if I like it better then the Stock .17 kernel but both are really good on battery life

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=859337
[Droid Incredible Android Development] roborob1969:
I've tried several ASOP and several Sense kernels, and never had any issues. Maybe its because I uninstalled Sense UI, and using Launch Pro?, idk.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sheepforwheat:
I would like to report that upon waiting 3 months for a major update release of this ROM i decided to bite on Cyanogenmod 6.1

CM is what I was hoping the next SR Vanilla release would look like.

6.1 Stable is legit. It works prefectly! No need to hesistate people, time to move on. It offers a lot more system customization options, not just graphic tweaks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] radiohead14:
couldn't stay with cm as the htc camera is just better. cm cam doesn't support 8mp wide yet
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
Christmas day you will have one more present to open.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] roborob1969:
happy. happy. woohoo! :D Looking forward to it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] flippingout:
Whoohooo! Can't wait!

XDA app via Droid Incredible running SkyRaider Vanilla
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
I tried CM 6.1 but it was not nearly as smooth as this ROM. Unlocking the phone was frustrating because of it. I don't know what the problem was so I switched back to SR Vanilla and have been completely satisfied. However, I did like all the customization in CM.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ballerchris33:
I feel the exact same way CM 6.1 is good but it just lags a little for some reason and it isn't as smooth as SKYRaider. I made the switch back as well, although I am using 3.5 sense until vanilla gets updated.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] D3vr04:

Wall Paper

After flashed the new Vanilla 3.0 looks like everything is ok but I have noticed that I can not change the wall paper. If I set a wall paper it just defaults to the original one any thoughts on the issue?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] buzzdroidx:
yess toggle signatures was the key!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JaYbLaZeE:
Can someone post links for the kernel's they flashed.. What are the noticeable differences with these specific ones over the others? Sorry if this is kinda noob to ask, but I'm not real familiar with flashing kernels to the incredible.

thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmo220:
I'm sure this has already been answered but searching on the phone is making me crazy and killing my battery so I apologize. Is it necessary to be fully charged before flashing this or any other Rom? Thanks in advance.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] WebDev28:
Loving it so far. Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Qazme:
No you don't have to be fully charged. I wouldn't do it with a dead battery but you don't have to be fully charged.

Now, this is how Skyraider should be! SO much better than the Sense RC3 version. I can dig this.....nice work, performance is on par or higher than even Cyanogen great work!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mrchambo:
Amen to that! Best ROM to date...

JC
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ToyTank:
No. You do need root access and custom recovery. If you have clockwork recovery, you can always do a full charge/wipe battery stats later. I reccomend reading thishttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=760651 before doing anything else.

What is the name of the htc mail file so I can delete it? I installed it thinking it would fix my yahoo mail problems but it didn't. I just want the stock one.

If anyone is having issues with yahoo mail, enter these settings manually:

Imap server - imap.mail.yahoo.com

SMTP Server- smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com

This sucks - The Exchange Admin screen lock is back...cannot be disabled. It was fine in 2.5 Sense (ie it was disabled).

I with most probably agree... Kings bfs 2 I'd probably the best..its fast plus great battery life... He had a popular thread in the forum in dev section...

How is this kernel working on yours? I'm debating on putting this one or BFS #1 and at a standstill trying to determine which one to use. =/
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JaYbLaZeE:
Thank you, yea i was trying to do my research on it given I lack my knowledge about the kernel. I should only backup correct, I don't need to wipe data n cache?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Stoney 666:
my bad... didnt mean to quote your post!!!

don't know if anyone else has this problem....

trying to theme my home screens, i'm using bettercuts to make my icons. but when i click on an icon (camera for example) it says aplication not installed. is this bettercuts or the rom thats not working?? everything else is running perfect as far as i can tell....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] upther:
I'm digging this so far. A lot. I had to switch to LauncherPro though because I love being able to quick jump to any of my home screens. I'll have to give it tomorrow to see how my battery does.

Thanks for another awesome ROM ihtfp!

Anybody figure out how to disable Exchange screen lock?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] magroid:
I still can't get the htc Exchange Activesync Mail application to work. Anyone got step by step instructions for a newbie? I was using 2.5.2 and did NOT wipe, maybe that's causing a problem?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ad1980:
I've been waiting for this version and I'm happy it's out! Having said that, I'm having a flash/youtube issue. I can watch youtube videos that are imbedded in websites, but if I go to the youtube site, or watch it full screen a window pops up saying that this video cannot be played. I did a full wipe prior to install. Any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Zomb!e:
ihtfp, any chance we could get the HTC music app added to goodies? Or does anyone have a link to it?

All my music is stored on the internal storage.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
A little tip for you. Push and hold the app drawer button on the stock launcher.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
With my patched htc mail program, setup your exchange account. Go through the normal steps and say yes to activate the policy. Setup your pin code. Now go back into security and select device admins. Next delete it and ignore any warnings about it deleting your mail; it won't. Last, set the lock type from pin code to none. Magic.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] upther:
Well ain't that nifty. Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] spyd3r05:
That is correct...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kriskmk:
great job!.. my favorite developer :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JLO155:
I thought 3.0 was supposed to have the latest flash 10.1 build in it.

Mine still has the previous version. Is this correct?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jratzo:
I can't say anything bad about it, I haven't overclocked or ran any tests yet. Basically I put it on and had to get back to work. Tonight I'll bump charge and can report back tomorrow. I can only post stats vs cm 6.0.1

Nothing negative to say
[Droid Incredible Android Development] stlandroidfan:
Thank you! That worked. I was worried that my account would get deleted. Now I'm having problem with Facebook for Android API's not working for messaging and updates - but that's not a huge deal really...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] flippingout:
I haven't not jumped to 3.0 yet, will do this weekend when I have some more time. Exchange support is critical to me. In 2.5.2, all I did was input the server, username, pwd and a couple of check boxes and all was golden. Is the 3.0 version of HTC Mail different that I have to do some fancy steps to get it to work? Also, when you say pin code, is this something I do on the phone or do I need an admin to give that to me?

Thank you! I've been very impressed with 2.5.2 and can't wait to go to 3.0 :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TheColorRed:
Well I've been running 3.0 all day and I'm loving it.

I'm actually still using the stock kernel because I love the snappy'ness.

But there is something that I've wanted since the beginning ROMs hahah.

And that's a way to turn off auto-rotation on only the home-screens.

It's just irritating to me and I can't find anywhere how to disable it for everything except internet/and apps.

Somewhere I read that this can be achieved through SpareParts but I didn't see anything there.

If anyone has an idea how to do this I will love them :D

Edit: There's one thing that seems to not be working. For some reason Google-Images has extreme lag when flicking through pictures when viewing them Full-Screen. I had this problem on 2.5.2 also though and I think it strangely had something to do with the Hulu/Audio fixes. Idk.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
Its the same app that you already have. I was just explaining how to remove a device admin which is a policy that your company can enforce on your phone when you connect with the server.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] stlandroidfan:
This really worked for me. I just gotta find a facebook fix. I already have the Social Networking Addon Goodies installed, but I had them installed before facebook got updated...I just updated facebook from the Market and I get an error message about APIs.

Wait - it's working now. After I added a "Facebook for HTC Sense" account, the Facebook for Android app started working again (messaging/notifications were screwed up).

[Droid Incredible Android Development] loryndm:
I also did a full wipe and installed 3.0 Exchange did not allow setup. I installed the goodies and then got the boot loop again so i reverted bakc to 2.5. Ill try again shortly .
[Droid Incredible Android Development] siteexperts:
Does the stock e-mail program support multiple exchange ActiveSync accounts? (the HTC version is limited to one).

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bobby janow:
I know folks hate the lock pin for Exchange, but understand it's there for a reason. Bypassing it may violate your corporate or company policies. If your phone gets lost or stolen and you don't have a lock code to protect your Exchange mail and perhaps sensitive data, then you are liable. As an Exchange admin if I find someone doing that I disable EAS for their account. If it's found out that I knew and didn't do something then it's my job on the line. I don't report them but I have to show due diligence. Just an FYI to be careful.

If you use Touchdown, it will not lock your phone, only the email according to EAS policies. You can ask your admin to set it for 60 minutes which is how I have it set up. iPhones don't have that option, it locks the phone period.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bobby janow:
I'm not sure, but it's the reason I spent $20 for Touchdown. They have unlimited EAS accounts. It's really a Microsoft licensing thing and whoever pays gets the licenses. I heard it was originally designed for Apple but I can't be sure of the validity of that.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] palomosan:
Nice man, gonna try it tonight, looks sick. I agree the HTC album is better and faster than the google 3D.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Rrrracer:
I've been having a strange problem with the market...

When I go to my downloads, it says "No downloads from Android Market", even though I've downloaded plenty.

Stranger still, the search function will not show any apps that I had installed (LauncherPro, Galactic Core Donate, Barcode Scanner, and Titanium are four I tried). But it does show some (such as Clockwork). Tried the QR for Galactic Core, didn't find it.

I did a search for ZXing Team (dev for Barcode Scanner) and it returned their ZXing Test app, but not Barcode Scanner...

Am I going nuts? LOL...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JaYbLaZeE:
That's good to hear. Do you do a full wipe and obviously a backup before installing from zip?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kappo9000:
Man, this ROM is very slick. Runs very very smooth for me. I did have a couple of questions, though.

Is there a way to turn off screen rotation just on the home screens? I like it in applications, but I don't like it on the home screen very much.

I also dislike the look of the app drawer (I liked the one on the sense RC3 version) where it is a 3d looking thing. Is there a way to change it to what it looks like on the sense version, with just a plain flat screen and the apps in it?

Is there a list of applications I am safe to remove? I got rid of the weather and news thing, but I didnt know if there is a way for me to strip it down further without doing a nandoid everytime Im about to remove something.

Hey, I don't know where else to post this, and please let me know if it belongs somewhere else. I think this might be helpful.

After installing the updated mail from goodies, I was unable to log into my yahoo e-mail account.

Luckily, I was able to restore data from Titanium Backup and it is working again. However, if you are unlucky, or just setting up your yahoo account through mail for the first time, here are the settings you need to connect:

Protocol: IMAP

IMAP Server: android.imap.mail.yahoo.com

Security Type: SSL

Server Port: 993

I guess the mail as installed by HTC had the correct server settings ready for yahoo, but the newer version of mail from goodies doesn't.
