What's your opinion?

I was just messing around and tried Swype, SwiftKey, stock, and the DroidX Multitouch. I definitely have to say the DroidX Multitouch is the best for both prediction, correction, and UI.

The nicest thing about the DroidX keyboard is that the multitouch prediction works on the hardware keyboard as well (good or bad thing).

the droid x uses swype... unless there's another keyboard in the settings? i don't know i never bothered to look. Anyway, swype hands down beats any keyboard, physical or not, that I've ever used. however, i still prefer the hardware keyboard most of the time just because whenever i flash another rom and whatnot it resets all my swype settings.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stir fry a lot:
Ultra Keyboard is now my default. The keyboard layout surpasses Swype's, especially in landscape. Since installing it I have been using the physical one less and less for long emails. It has swype functions built into it and the developer is active on the forums and seems like a nice guy.

i downloaded cyanogen 6.0 today, and flashed with clockworkmod recovery, but the sd card cant be detected (sd & 2nd sd), even i plugged in the usb cable, a removable disk comes out but not accessible. So i restore to my previous rom which is cyanogen 4.2.14.1 with nandroid, everything back to normal. I wonder what caused this. btw, im using the OEM 1GB sd card partitioned as 517 sd + 342 second sd + 96 swap

one more question is, when i do the backup with "ROM manager", it always eat up the sd card space and says no enough sd space, anyone using rom manager has the same issue ?

Has anyone experienced the following bug: Make or receive a call using a bluetooth headset. A2DP or not, this doesn't matter. Then, use the voice command feature or try to record with Tape Machine, while your headset or car kit is still conencted. The microphone won't activate. This is quite aggravating if I try to use the voice dial or map finding capabilities while in the car... anyone else experience this?

[Epic 4G General] pissinguoff247:
It's annoying - my EVO didn't do this before I returned it.

I ordered a few inline microphone adapters for $2 each on ebay with free shipping - they're the things that allow you to use any pair of headphones with a cell phone as a headset. That should solve that problem, but it'd be nice to be able to use the phone mic when it's connected to my car stereo, as a speakerphone.
[Epic 4G General] Pops_G:
I guess the way Samsung saw it if you plug in a headset with a microphone(like the one included with your phone) you would then have 2 working microphones and get an echo. We all know this ends up being a problem in scenario #2 where you plug it into the AUX port on your car, but I guess Samsung did not consider that the most likely usage.

The best solution would be to have a software toggle to pick if the microphone is turned off or not.

This topic is basically the same thing, might want to continue the discussion there. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7986072
[Epic 4G General] pissinguoff247:
I wonder if, on the Epic, this is a hardware thing we're stuck with or if there truly is a software fix.

If the hardware wasn't built to detect when there is/isn't a microphone by checking out the connector, we may be SOL.
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
While I'm sure the rationale may be the same, please note that this thread, though similar to the 3.5mm headset thread, specifically references bluetooth. The issue happens even if the headset is paired - independently of whether or not it is in use. That's the problem.
[Epic 4G General] robl45:

Just a regular ROM CM6... I am downloading the new starwars bootanimation and v'll let you know if that works or not for me.

BTW i didnt find any data/local/ present in my phone but i do found the system/media/ present there..can you tell me the actual path for data/local/
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] mdneilson:
It is just ./data/local/ - /data/ is located in the root folder (same as system)

Did you try flashing this one? http://www.filefactory.com/file/b363f2c/n/update_ba_R2D2_Signed_Data.zip

I prefer to fully replace the boot animation in system/media to save space (but you do have to replace it every time you update) :/

I'm not sure why it isn't working, I just downloaded the files, and they're set-up correctly.

If you know how, you can copy it manually via terminal or adb.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] vermaekansh:
badluck for me again....i flashed it but still m not able to see starwars animation i guess i need to download the bootanimation.zIP and need to use the terminal..

i guess you are right i need to clear the bootanimation.zip entry present in the system/media/ to upgrade it to another bootanimation

wot happen before when i upgrade it to the matrix bootanimation it worked and when i tried to go back to the default one (by deleating the entry in data/local/) I am not able to find the path so i again flashed by using terminal the default bootanimation.

lets see if i can get it by terminal.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] vermaekansh:
hureyeeee !!!

Got is right with the terminal...its simple but nice.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] mdneilson:
Good to hear. It should have just overwritten the other bootanimation.zip. Strange.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] vermaekansh:
quick question

one quick ques...

If I delete the bootanimation.zip entry present in SYSTEM/MEDIA/ then what will happen???
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] mdneilson:
If there isn't a bootanimation.zip in ./system/media/ or ./data/local/ then when you boot, the screen will simply go black after the initial G1 splash screen until the gui starts. The gui starts relatively quickly, but the rest of the OS takes much longer, so the wait time is the same.

I added a .nomedia file to my notifications and ringtones folders to prevent them from being played in the shuffle for the music player. Then I noticed that my phone wouldn't ring or alert me for text and email so I removed the .nomedia file. But there is still no sound. I can play the sound when I am changing sound options. I checked to make sure all the system sounds were up and that sounds are set to play but nothing works.

For 1 isn't it dumb that we should have to hide notification folders and audio book folders from the media player. Shouldn't it just play from the music folder?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamitsuna:
You can hack your PS3 with your evo. Please refer to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=778202 for the files and informations....

Some points of interest.

1) If you run any rom but fresh, your evo will freeze during the white loading screen, its normal, it will still do the hack. (have not verified myself, I run cyanogen and it freezes on white loading screen, still hacked my ps3)

2) You must have Amon Ra 1.8 or higher or the latest Clockwork Recovery or else you cannot flash the hack to your phone. It will give a digest error.

3) You must have firmware 3.41 installed on your PS3, not 3.15 not 3.42. If you have any other firmware, your ps3 just will not show anything on the screen. If the hack is installed correctly, it will take about 10 seconds, no more.

In order to install firmware 3.41 you can download it from PS3 - Hacks - firmware 3.41 and then visit Playstations Website for installation directions. In order to learn how to update your ps3 WITHOUT doing an auto update which WILL MAKE SURE YOU CANNOT INSTALL THE HACK.

4) Whatever device you load the backup manager package on, will be the only device you can do add backups to. IE: if you load backup manager on your evo in USB storage mode, you will only be able to back up to your evo. I suggest, swallowing 100 bucks and getting an external drive, install device manager to that, then do all your backups to the drive. ORRRRRRRR Buy a 2.5 terabyte drive and install it internally to your ps3.

5) Now instead of a nandrestore there is a disable file you can flash. Check out http://wiki.psfreedom.com/wiki/HTC_EVO

--------------------- Instructions for installing PSfreedom hack with your EVO ---------------------------

1) Bakckup your nandroid then Flash the zip to your evo

2) Reboot your evo (most likely will freeze on reboot, its normal)

3) Make sure you have Firmware 3.41 on your PS3, if not, use an SD card, DVD, or Flash Drive to install the proper firmware.

4) Unplug your power cable to the ps3

5) Plug your EVO into the PS3 via USB cable

6) Plug in your ps3 power cable

7) Press the power buttom immediately followed by the eject button on your ps3 (will beep twice)

8) Wait no longer than 60 seconds for your ps3 to boot, if it does not, refer to the above information about firmwares and files.

9) Once the PS3 boots go to the game menu, and look for install packages.

10) Flash the disable zip file or do a nand restore to your evo.

If you have the option to install packages, its official! You are hacked.

technically you rent using it to play games youa re using yor phone to put your ps3 in dev mode. while in dev mode you can play games (if you install back up mamager) or use homebrew apps with out the aid of your phone once in dev mode.. Personally i still think it is a hassle and i think Sony will crack down on those they can catch. It is kind of a pain to have to flash your phone start your ps3 and either flash or annd restore your phone back each time you want to power on your ps3 and use it in dev mode (which is needed to play the back ups).

just me. I am sure the kiddies that have nothing better to do and no jobs will love this and wont mind though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpiddy:
You dont have to leave your phone plugged in. Once the ps3 has booted up you can remove it. takes 10 seconds.

Guys this literally takes 5 minutes.

-flash the enabler

-plug phone into ps3

-unplug ps3

-plug in ps3

-power on then hit eject

-unplug phone and restore from nandroid

Piece of cake.
