[Vibrant Android Development] defconoi:
Would anyone want the CM6 Browser w/Incognito Mode ported to the vibrant? I just contacted @Optedoblivion on twitter maybe we can get this started. Can we just pull over the apk? Or do we have to modify any framework files?

If anyone is interested in getting this started feel free to share it here. I'd be also interested in porting over some other CM6 features. We might not get a full CM6 rom for a while so why not port over some of the stuff?
[Vibrant Android Development] grennis:
Why do you need that? what exactly are you going to do with it
[Vibrant Android Development] Jamison904:
I for one am very interested in this and any other possible ports!
[Vibrant Android Development] speoples20:
Incognito mode aka porn mode
[Vibrant Android Development] m00nshake:
I'm for getting that ported, useful feature, even some might be embarrassed to admit it.
[Vibrant Android Development] matt_stang:
I don't know much about porting but I can code pretty well
[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
Just take his AOSP Rom, it's already modded and only need the kernel change to one of my kernel's.. it boots perfect & you could add back Twiz if needed..

I had it running for a few days, only thing left to due was Mod the Dialer & contacts to stock & I never had time to look it over..
[Vibrant Android Development] TJD319:
I too would love this app for JI6 Stock. I like the stock ROM and like to just mod it to work. The Music port from CM6 is amazing.
[Vibrant Android Development] Darthyoshiboy:
I would kill to have any version of the CM browser working on my Vibrant. I miss my options to turn off the zoom controls, among others, and despite everyone saying that Incognito Mode is solely for porn, it's a handy feature for debugging websites. Want to be certain that you're not working from cached data, or with cookies that are left over from your last session? Incognito Mode to the rescue! Turn on Incognito Mode and you don't have to wipe all your saved history, cookies, and cache, but you can still check out your newest changes to your site as if you had.

But I think the main road block to a port (and correct me if I'm wrong) is that it would mean loosing the basic Flash support that we now enjoy in the stock browser.
[Vibrant Android Development] vinnydakid:
No one has actually tried to just copy over the files, I imagine?
[Vibrant Android Development] Insomaniac10:
+1........
[Vibrant Android Development] Anderdroid:
I'm interested in being able to change the useragent properly... A simple copy over won't work. A genius like eugene373 would have to handle this probably Lool.

I haven't spent much time debugging it myself so I honestly don't know. I could try compiling it from source from CM6 git and logcatting from there but I'm a busy guy...
[Vibrant Android Development] jumaaneface:
A simple copy over might work using the fascinate browser with acompanying libs. Possibly without. Im pretty sure the fascinate is using the stock eclair browser which can switch user agents. If that works properly assuming that my lack of sleep hasnt made me retarded yet. It shouldnt be too difficult to get the cm5 browser to work on our 2.1 roms. I mean thats a positive step right?

Edit: so I was wrong about the fascinate. But I have gotten the cm5.0.8 browser to load up but force closes when I enter browser settings. Any one interested in taking a look?
[Vibrant Android Development] ebatr8:
Why not just use the commands on the current browser works just fine by typing into the browser about:debug for debugging options obviously about:useragent to switch modes other commands I havent found a use for so I don't remember them but you can google them.
[Vibrant Android Development] jumaaneface:
*Gasp* yeah I never really thought about that last night....thanks though.
[Vibrant Android Development] theorginazation:
Does the browser still work when you change settings in the debug menu?

My browser starts force closing every time I open it until I use titanium backup to restore the browser settings.
[Vibrant Android Development] cm1ck:
I want this
[Vibrant Android Development] untermensch:
CM6 Browser for FroYo

I got the CM6 browser working on Samsung Galaxy S

this is Froyo only! - adb push to system/app to replace the stock browser

invert and disable zoom controls do not work it will require framework mods

to get thoes to work.
[Vibrant Android Development] Anderdroid:
Good job but how did you do it? Maybe we can apply this to CM5 browser...
[Vibrant Android Development] untermensch:
I pulled the source from CyanogenMod git hub fixed all the problems and compiled it

you could probably backport some of it to eclair.
[Vibrant Android Development] Anderdroid:
Is there a topic somewhere in regards to framework mods?
[Vibrant Android Development] untermensch:
no topic you will have to read through the code and see if there is an API to do what you want

you may get away with decompiling the framework from a CyanogenMod ROM and copying

the files into the Samsung framework.

I found the API to turn off/on the zoom controls this way but still haven't found a way to invert

the colors.

this one I copied the images from a Samsung ROM so it fits with the blue Samsung theme

and am including the source if any one wants to hack on it.
[Vibrant Android Development] untermensch:
unfortunately the InvertColors option must be supported by "/system/lib/libwebcore.so"

I pulled that file from a CM6 nexus 1 ROM but it didn't work

maybe someone else can figure it out, this is what I have so far.

[Android Apps and Games] Tommy-Rex:
Hi I've been looking for ages for any apps that sync with Acounts & Sync like Facebook and Google does, where I get my contacts to sync with them.

But I was looking for an MSN, MySpace and possibly Bebo app that will sync my contacts.

I'm not too worried about Bebo as I can't even find a simple app for it, but MSN and MySpace would be nice.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] yobazpagan:
Well, i can't offer you a sync program but you may use wlm (msn) export contacts feature and than import them with google contacts.

i was told of 8pen the day before its release and, after watching the video on their website, i was blown away by the concept. it was truly a novel idea, with noble, far-reaching goals. however, i think it may have bitten off more than it could chew. here are my thoughts after using it quite exclusively over the last few days...

i'm a heavy swype user, so i thought it'd be easier for me to pick up 8pen's interface. well, i used it since its release and found that it almost was as fast as swype, but never able to surpass it in speed. the fact that the thumb hides the letters threw me off quite a bit. i'd get lost finding 'b'. not only that, "typing" out unknown words was quite a bit of a hassle.

however, it wasn't completely doom and gloom. being a bit of a stickler with spelling and grammar, 8pen forced me to focus on proper spelling, which is a plus in my book. also, the word prediction is topnotch. the interface is definitely intuitive and a novel concept.

in short, i just think it's too much of a drastic jump from qwerty-based keyboards to be accepted widely. i'm keeping 8pen installed, and use it from time to time for fun (yes, i'm weird like that). however, to whip one out quickly, i just go to swype. i can't wait to see 8pen updated or modified slightly. i personally think it has an amazing potential at being the next mobile keyboard interface design. it's clean, intuitive, and different. anytime a developer thinks outside the box, it's to be commended. 8pen is just that, an outside-the-box idea that needs some polish, but has the ability to be the next big thing in mobile software.

just my 2 cents.
[EVO 4G General] magicriggs:
Use ultra keyboard it does swype with a compact keyboard at the same time , talk about speed thats the fastest I have ever been on a keyboard.
[EVO 4G General] david279:
I like 8pen in a sick strange way..

8pen from my supersonic yea....
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
how does it compare to swype (or your previous keyboard preference) for you, in terms of speed?
[EVO 4G General] david279:
never used swype
[EVO 4G General] looneylu:
I like 8pen, but I am much faster swyping... 8pen stays in my phone for texting and driving though
[EVO 4G General] DraginMagik:
i like the idea. we really need a new text input UI. the very fact that we are still using qwerty is kinda sad.

i look forward to more ideas like this.
[EVO 4G General] ms79723:
for me its a hell of a lot slower...swype for me is the fastest keyboard but im not that great with it, tons of mistakes.
[EVO 4G General] jerryparid:
8pen is theoretically faster since there are ~26 letter + few more gestures to remember. You have to watch watch your screen when using swype.

I've been practicing 8pen
[EVO 4G General] ms79723:
True statement. I just dont have the patience right now to memorize the placement of letters.
[EVO 4G General] david279:
Its like learning how to right in a new way. Its interesting.

8pen from my supersonic yea....
[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
Memorization is everything. If I had been using 8 pen since I was 6 years old like the qwerty layout then I am sure I would be incredibly fast on it. I type around 90wpm@99% accuracy on full size qwerty keyboards including symbols and numbers. I wish i had the time to memorize 8pen, that would be insanely fast for mobile if I could actually train myself to know where all the char's are without thinking like on qwerty. I literally type faster than I can spell words out in my head
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
How? You could complete a 3-4 letter word in Swype within the same amount of motion that it'd possibly require to do a single letter in 8pen.

I personally just use Smart Keyboard Pro (reg. QWERTY multi-touch).
[EVO 4G General] snrubs13:
It's simply too slow for daily use and I don't have time to learn it. I prefer either swype or the droid x kb.
[EVO 4G General] -Happy Feet-:
I think when you use it when you want type everything, it going faster from Day to Day ......

[EVO 4G General] Shauli20:
I saw 8pen, but it costs money so I didn't bother. I'm happy with SwiftKey keyboard predicting my entire sentence. It's not necessarily faster than Swype, but I like not having to type each word.

I enjoy it been using it since it came out
[EVO 4G General] spiicytuna:
The jury is still out for me. That being said; the 24 hour period from the market is too short to evaluate this keyboard IMO.

Sent on the go from my HTC EVO
[EVO 4G General] fachadick:
I used it for about a day, and uninstalled it. I got the same impression as when I tried one of those non-qwerty keyboards for the first time, you know the ones where all of the letters are in different places, so its supposedly easier to hit the more common letters. Definitely innovative, and it will make things easier for some people, and allow them to type faster and more accurately. And for that subset of people, it really is a great product. But it will never catch on with the mainstream smartphone user who doesn't have the patience to relearn how to type.

[EVO 4G General] magicriggs:
Lol that's funny
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
I can officially say that 8pen + predictive text is faster than swype, and im extremely fast with swype. Now, just pure typing words letter by letter, swype is by far faster, but I would say that is only because we've all been typing on qwerty keyboards for all of our lives and are used to the letter positioning. I type 170wpm so I know exactly where every key is without even having to think; second nature.

As far as entering websites or email addresses, swype is better - but 8pen does have that great "gesture to words" so I've added my email addresses and commonly typed letter/words phrases in and that made everything tons simpler.
[EVO 4G General] edtate:
Wow, I just cant get past stage 1: using this thing stoned is an absolute no no. I'll wait a few hours and try again.

That wouldn't be the best conditions. :D

Still 8pening from my supersonic on the xda app.

So far I'm liking 8pen. I'm starting to actually get decently quick with it. Definitely takes some practice though
[EVO 4G General] nugzo:
In my opinion you didnt waste your money with swiftkey. I've tried swype and i keep going back to swiftkey. The prediction is uncanny at times. Many many complete sentences predicted with swiftkey..... My favorite!
[EVO 4G General] Shauli20:
Agreed completely. I didn't mean SwiftKey was a bad purchase. On the contrary - because I liked it so much I bought the paid version and therefore am not interested in paying for another keyboard.

I have Swype installed on my phone too and I'll occasionally use it, but my every day keyboard is SwiftKey all the way!

Sent from my EVO rockin' MikFroYo!
[EVO 4G General] mattehww:
I have to +1 for Swiftkey. I can type way faster with that than swype, and any other keyboard. The feature I love the most is swiping to the left to delete the word. I absolutely can't live without that.

I'm working on 8pen, because the concept blows everything else away. It makes touch typing possible on a touchscreen.
[EVO 4G General] DraginMagik:
... agreed.

... irrelevant.
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
+1 for SwiftKey... love that keyboard. I'm almost 2x faster with it over Swype.

[EVO 4G General] akarol:
Looking forward and falling behind with your slow ass 8pen... :P

Sorry guys, but nobody here is going to convince me, or anyone with an IQ over 20, that 8pen is superior to ANY other input method. The hassle you have to go through to input each character is just dumb IMHO.

QWERTY might very well be replaced eventually, but I am willing to bet all I have that it won't be by anything remotely close to the 8pen concept.
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
no one is here to convince you... you have your opinion, and it's different from others. no need to get uppity about it.
[EVO 4G General] Beejis:
Yeah I think 8pen is lame. Way too many actions just to type one letter. Not sure how anyone can type faster with 8pen compared to swype.

OMG now we are in the general forum hyping the most crappy app i ever tired.I at least did not waste the $.Are some of you blind? they are spreading this hype all over the net and now even in the wrong forum just to make a $ well maybe a few k since $'s add up fast if you can get 2000 suckers to click on market and pay for this crap when you can just goggle and find it free.

Wrong place wrong forum for this piece of crap app.

umm... are you high? apparently, you've never heard of people having a different opinion.
[EVO 4G General] lukesky:
i tried it and it's ridiculously slow.. wait till they improve their word prediction to even 1/4 of SwiftKey's standard and maybe it can amount to something decent..

new updates look pretty decent. i'm going to try it out next week :)
[EVO 4G General] sKunkman:
Swype is cool. 8pen is quirky. Granted, I only played with it for a total of 10 minutes, but there's no way it's more efficient than swype. Even regular tap texting is WAY faster, and I think it's clunky on the evo (though very good for a touchscreen).

I'm gonna throw my vote in there for ultra keyboard. I think its awesome. Everyone should try it.
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
i find it rather amusing that this thread turned into a poll, when my intention was to share my thoughts on 8pen as a new concept coming from a heavy swype influence.

thanks for keeping it civil.. to most of you at least.
[EVO 4G General] Shauli20:
Thanks for the tip, buddy! Just downloaded it. Giving it a try.

Sent from my EVO rockin' MikFroYo!
[EVO 4G General] go4the1:
People need to realize something... 8pen is not supposed to be as fast or faster than standard typing methods (normal tap qwerty, swype, etc). It is meant to allow you to type with 100% accuracy

without looking at the screen

. Unfortunately advancements like voice input make it hard to justify the steep learning curve of 8pen.

The same thing goes for swype. Swype is designed for accurate one-handed typing, NOT to be the fastest typing method available. None of these typing gimmicks will ever surpass the standard landscape qwerty keyboard with decent auto-correction.

There are many factors other than speed. Accuracy, consistency, learning curve, implied handicaps (like standard qwerty keyboards requiring near-100% attention), etc.
[EVO 4G General] TheMagicalSock:
I agree with your point about 8pen, but Swype is marketed pretty heavily to be a fast method of text input. It still holds the record for the fastest keyboard (or something like that), and it definitely rivals how fast I am with the stock Android keyboard.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Swype is by far the fastest keyboard out there
[EVO 4G General] go4the1:
Fast, yes. Easy with very little learning curve, yes. Fastest keyboard? Not even close.

I don't want to start a big argument or competition, all I'm saying is that in my experience with typing benchmarks, nothing beats standard keyboards in landscape.

I might add: Swype *seems* faster because your typing appears words at a time, rather than letters at a time, giving it a placebo effect of faster typing. Hence why I encourage typing benchmarks like MyTextSpeed to prove you are faster with certain keyboards.
[EVO 4G General] rdcrds:
This thread is 1sty off in the wrong forum cause it is about a app and if we are going to discuss apps here then we might as well do them all here in this general forum.

This app just will not go away.Man they got many people out there trying to drum up people so when they start charging again maybe they can sucker more in.As a totally free app i do not care but every web site i go on i see this thread and always in a spot it should not be in.

If they want to make money at least do it with something worth while.The app sucks end of story.
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
it's ok to be a bit more obvious and blatant; point me out and tell me you think it was in the wrong forum. to ease your concerns, i put it here because i was sharing my thoughts and trying to incite a general discussion on the concept of 8pen.

use space after a period. it makes it easier to read. also, thank god you're not a sucker. it's people like you that inspire the developers to push their ingenuity to higher heights.

you do not care? why are you here again? and, once again, the apps forum is about discussing apps. i'm discussing the concept..

fart apps anyone? just listen to yourself for a minute here...

this is your opinion, which you've already shared in an equally emotionally-fueled post earlier.

in short...

next time, don't let your emotions get the best of you, lest you start trolling. also, why do you keep coming back to a thread, whose location and content you disapprove of? one more useless post like this and i will call upon the flaming gods; and totally rip apart your weak emotional drivel which you think is your argument.
