Well im just rooted not flashed at least I think I am, what do you mean sideload the apk not the installer? I emailed myself the installer with ASTRO and it was an apk file but I still couldn't get it to work since I didn't have the permission to install third party app. Where do I get the SWYPE apk? The whole problem is I CAN'T install from unknown sources because that option isn't there for me.

I wanted to add, even though I've given my two cents before, that my favorite feature of smart keyboard pro is the ability to set keyboard transparency. This is great for programs like the stock browser in sense roms because it allows you to read what's beneath the keyboard. This makes Google's instant search much more useful, along with different instant messaging programs so you can see conversations under the keyboard even in landscape.

Between swype and touch input
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Corporate Dog:
Big Buttons Keyboard for me.

I had Swype for a while (until it expired) and then I switched to SlideIt.

But after trying out Big Buttons, there's no going back. My accuracy is near perfect, and it even allows me to thumb type.

My dream keyboard would be a hybrid of BB and Swype, but since that'll never happen, I guess I'll take accuracy over speed. :p

Regards,

Corporate Dog

Has anyone gotten the Droid x keyboard or gingerbread to work on the new fr008?
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] deeno33:

[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] powerchess:
Seems like noone here has tried CooTek.

I used to use in on my winmo, and cant live without it.

If you type CooTek on search in the market, you look for the one with the hand symbol, that is their english keyboard.

Let me know how it went once you love it ;)

I figured it out what I was doing wrong and got it installed. Thanks though (:

Well I'm definitely a swype person. Especially for one hand typing. But after trying smart keyboard I can't say anything is faster for two hand typing. The multitouch and word prediction are far superior to any of the other keyboards.

Just upgraded to the new Swype 2.15.56.xxxx yesterday and this is by far the best yet. Its scary accurate with its predictions.

[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] carolnmarr:
I would love to get the newest swype as well, if anyone can post info that is allowed
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] CallMeAria:
All i'll say is if you google swype 2.15.56 you might get what you're looking for...and that the aria needs the hvga version. I'm not saying you should, I'm just saying...

8pen. I hate when I have to go back to the qwerty keyboard it so slow in portrait. I don't even hardly have to look with 8pen
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] jeebuz:
To be honest, you're the first one who I have read that has ever LIKED using 8pen.

I've used it myself and got pretty decent, but found it to be troublesome when spelling words that you don't normally use. lol Oh well (:
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Benitho:
Gingerbread Keyboard...duh!
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] dexmix:
8pen! ridiculous! more power to you. :eek:

I guess 8pen's best merits are barely having to look at what you are penning, and its easier as far as accuracy then swype by far. If you're used to it - swype or even regular typing might be annoying.

I still found swype faster overall - even if it requires a deeper level of concentration.

I've liked SwiftKey alot in the pasr but recently but I've been getting really into the new Swype beta lately.

Personally I dig the HTC_IME_mod ... Swiftkey was a close second, and I might have to give swype another try.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Mhyst:
I was using Swiftkey quite a bit until gingerbread keyboard. I really like the response of GB and it has a few more options than SK. SK would be my choice except for an annoying "space" insert after a "." which gets lame when you use things like "S.F." for San Francisco and have to backspace alot. SK is pretty solid, otherwise, but gingerbread F.T.W.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmw407:
Edit: NM - went to T-mo store and found out the memory card was defective.

Every time I take a picture with the camera the default HTC Gallery will show the photo, but if I have to restart the phone and go back into the Gallery app, it won't recognize that I've taken any pictures. Same with videos too.

I can see the pictures just fine when using the stock Froyo Gallery or through ASTRO, and if I go through ASTRO, I can then view it in the HTC Gallery.

The problem is I can't change my lock screen picture since it only allows me to change it using pictures from the HTC Gallery or the Wallpaper Gallery, and the HTC Gallery just will not see that I have pictures on the SD card.

I've tried unmounting and mounting the SD card and nothing.

Hello!

I-m trying to apply several live wallpapers. Some crash, its acceptable.

Others, plain buggy. Example: Galatic Core.

I select it in the Livewallpapers selector, it does not error, and shows a black screen. i press settings, get the message "buy the app", and then it shows!

If i then select it, i get a black screen... and then the original wallpaper again.

Anyone got more luck than i ?

They were never meant to run on our phones so they will be iffy at best for performance

Also if your using cm6 that's a known issue across the board with them
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] daedric:
Could you guys please stop doing that ?

"" XPTO was not meant to run on our phone ""

What is it there... that our phones have... or have not... that make a given app not run ? Sure... we can agree on "it wasn't designed for 320x240. Ok, i agree too.

But either than that ?? Yeah, our CPU is the slower MSM on the field, at least compared to Diamonds/Raphaels and upwards... but hey!! We have 1/4 of the pixels to take care of. That sould give us some room...

Now, don't get me wrong. It was not designed to run Android. But that doesn't mean it was not meant to. Take for example a simple little phone, sold here on Portugal as Optimus Boston. It has a MSM cpu... it came with 1.6 running at 600mhz... but the latest update to Eclair 2.1... underclocked it to 480. My kaiser usually runs at 550. (official rom, its possible to have custom roms running at the original 600.) and it still is a great phone... look at the simple specs :

http://www.gsmarena.com/gigabyte_gsmart_g1305_boston-3201.php

Now, someone explain... why can't our Kaiser/Vogue/Polaris run Android like that leatle freak underclocked to 480 runs. Please.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
The fact that we have absolutely no RAM doesn't play into it ever since sheer clock speed always determines speed, to be honest I haven't even seen them run well on my hero and I have it OC'd to 691

But hey if you want to argue about it there are links to the source around go in and fix the problem, most of the devs for this project have more important things to focus on at the moment
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] daedric:
Do not feel ofended. It was not my intention.

My point is that if we had accepted the slowness of our devices, we would never had attempted to port Android.

As for the RAM, agree.. it is a bottleneck...

Now, has for speed... i've seen them run well... on other devices of course.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Dark-Side:
I did many tests on my Kais130 Fresh Froyo, about livewallpapers

I agree with Daedric on the ability of our device.

I managed to run the "Grass" Wallpaper properly. Others, like Mario, Galactic Core, ... Sometimes with bugs and/or too many resources used.

It seems to me that LiveWallpapers work less well in the latest Froyo
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aceoyame:
Well were not the slowest android phone anymore. But that doesnt mean much, we still have a lot of instability. The ram limitation can be overcome with comp cache (virtual memory) but that brings only more instability and adds overhead that we don't need. Also the performance just isnt there yet. Our phones beat only one phone and thats because that phone doesnt have froyo on it. Otherwise it would beat ours out. Also that was with my kaiser overclocked to 572 mhz with a gpu overclock as well. Any other phone msm 7200 phone at those speeds kick our kaisers ass. I think the resource intense ones are just not meant to work well at all for us. My background works at least lol, I use a background that shows the core of a 486 cpu.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] daedric:
Should we assume... that at the same speed, diferent MSM devices offer diferent performance ? Or, are we simply doing still things wrong, i don't know, perhaps a poor schedule, buggy drivers which introduce lag, perhaps the graphic one.

We must remember, they kick our kaiser hard, but they have much more pixels, how can that be ?

Got it working now...

Hi!

I am having a problem with the fastboot_mode after offical 2.2 and then back to DJSteve's v1.4.2 by just applying update.zip files (v1.1.1 ->v1.4.2). I can put my phone into fastboot_mode even without Android Phone usb driver showing from the device manager (PC). I thought I can get to fastboot_mode only when the pc driver is installed and working. I found this problem when I tried to apply the 720p issue.

Can fastboot software support on my phone changed?

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] formula84:
This is why I want the Sprint one and just disable the authntication as they have already done with the evo, downside is they have not got 4g to wifi working as 4g uses mac adress for authentication possibly.

I already have WiFi tether app that works with 3g and 4g but the mode is ad-hoc and certain things like xbox, ps3, psp need infrastructure mode. I would be happy if we could get as far as Evo and get and have working infrastructure 3g without authentication restriction.

yeah i've been on quantum since 1.0, on 2.7 now and i dont think it works. it activates, lets you connect and "looks" like you have internet but activating the hotspot deactivates 3g for some reason. gives you the registration error.

that being said, i downloaded caulkins mod and will look into seeing if i can replicate it on the epic. i'm guessing i'll hit a roadblock as i'm sure people have tried this already, but we'll see!

looks like Caulkin is who made that MOD for the evo, i asked him on here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=10382458#post10382458 if he could provide a how to as the same hack might work for us.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runngwlf:
For free? The short answer is no. You can download the ap apps like wireless tether from the market, but without root permissions, the apps will not work. Some reason your hesitant to root your phone?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comtrade:
Requires a rooted phone.

Backup your phone with CWM3 as this app is still experimental and can cause issues.

Download pre10 or pre12 version 3.

Correctly install with ADB or a file/app manager.

Shutoff 4g and open app.

Select your device profile as Epic 4G

Start app and verify it successfully started (no errors, binaries installed etc.)

Don't worry when you see Sprint Hotspot activated message as this app uses something from the Sprint app

Start 4G

Supports infrastructure mode
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saminbama:
GOOD QUESTION! Yes, of course I am hesitant: if I brick the phone then I have to buy another one. Also, will all my apps and settings be wiped when I root it? I am not familiar with different flavored ROMS. Is there a vanilla or rock-solid, popular ROM you would recommend?

I don't know if I'm missing something, but on the iPhone the background notifications were great. For example, on Sportactular I had background notifications for certain games, scores, etc. Even when you are NOT running the app (as in not even in multitasking), you would still get notifications of the events you've set triggers. It was awesome.

How do you do this on Android? It seems you HAVE to have the apps running in background. Am I not understanding something?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
It depends... some apps have widgets that run and update on the screen - this is what most people do. The iPhone background notification had its own problems - it relies on apples servers to constantly poll the services they are providing notification for and it becomes a single point of failure.

On my phone I pick and choose the services i want real time service for and load widgets for those services. If I don't want real time notification, I don't use a widget and i load the app when i want an update.

The iphone, may not have been running the app, but it had to run the notification service and apps have to be written to subscribe to that service (front end and back end).

there may be a 3rd party app that does something similar, but i am not aware of one and I haven't seen the need, for me anyway.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianwood:
It's all down to how the particular application is designed. Android supports push notifications equally as well as the iPhone does.

Another problem is the lag in switching orientation. Sometimes it didn't even detect a change in the phone's orientation. You have to sometimes give the phone a few jerks to get the switch going. I wonder if this due to the update or coincidentally the accelerometer gone faulty after the update.

Would be nice if true, but there have been no announced hardware changes for the the streak to work on tmobile's hspa+ network. Only a handfull of the 1000 beta streaks have the correct gsm frequency. For hspa+ to work, the streak needs tmobile's 1700/2100 aws band frequency. I think the dell rep is mis-informed.
[Streak 5 General] mormegil83:
Yeah, I'm not sure either... I'm definitely stopping by my local TMo (which just so happens to be the only cell phone store that can actually hold a conversation with me regarding cellphones!!!) and ask them if they know anything...
[Streak 5 General] jdm_cars:
hmm.... I am still skeptical, I want to believe it, but I will have to see it for myself.

A lot of the reps are mis-informed, noticed how she kept saying "as long as it is unlocked" I think this person has no clue about the different frequencies used by Tmo and ATT.
[Streak 5 General] Bizzach:
Exactly. I've been using a Beta Streak on TMO but just because it's 'unlocked' doesn't mean I get 3G. Please, original poster, or anyone else.... show us all in writing where the unlocked Streak will work with TMO's 3G.

You guys here in this forum on XDA should be smarter than to believe some random rep. Dell has been screwing us before. I won't believe it even after I see it on an official Dell page... only if I see them for sale and out in the wild!!
[Streak 5 General] mormegil83:
Yeah... I didn't manage to get over to my TMo like i wanted... but i just got off the phone with a dell customer support supervisor and he kept insisting the it would work with Tmobiles 3G... But you're right... I probably jumped the gun with this post. I appologize. I am still a little skeptical as well because they don't seem to ever recognize the fact that Tmo and ATT support different frequencies. They just keep saying "as long as it's unlocked"...

[Streak 5 General] Bizzach:
mormegil83, just FYI, I talked to a buddy of mine who works at TMO (I worked at corporate store as well for 4 years)... they haven't heard anything about the Streak. The retail reps are usually kept in the dark. They would have only gotten any communication from the company if TMO were launching a Streak. So don't beat yourself up that you didn't make it down to a store today lol.
