@David I sent you a pm

A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on the IPhone. We now have the Htc Evo.
[EVO 4G General] plmiller0905:
Hey David...so you're saying..install the update.zip file in recovery then boot of the phone and then install the apk?

What does the update.zip consist of? (I'm just a little nervous about installing an update.zip....I don't want to mess anything up.?

The keyboard works after all this is done? How's the functionality of the keyboard...everything works etc?
[EVO 4G General] ms79723:
the update.zip contains LatinIME.apk (a keyboard) and the lib file for it. When installed, you should be able to run the AOSP keyboard without any FC's.
[EVO 4G General] ipatella:
Honestly I feel like the dumbest person on the planet right now.

-Soo I managed to install the gingerbread keyboard and have it working.

-I decided that it wasnt right for me seeing as how I make a lot of mistakes and autocorrect doesn't work.

-I try to install the droid x keyboard, it wont let me.

-I remove latinime.apk or whatever it's called via root manager and install the droid x keyboard.

Now, I'm sitting here with a droid x keyboard that force closes.

Anybody familiar with this situation I put myself in?
[EVO 4G General] david279:
Everything works after doing everything. The update zip is the unmodded keyboard with no predictive text working and the apk fixes that.
[EVO 4G General] plmiller0905:
Cool..I'm going to give this a try then. I'll report back
[EVO 4G General] ipatella:
What about autocorrect?
[EVO 4G General] Cuppeerr:
Hey everybody remember the sdk came out! Hahaha I love getting off topic!

Swyped from my supersonic
[EVO 4G General] david279:
That works for me too.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
After installing the update zip I get a partial working auto-suggest, it's still missing a ton of words though. The other APK always fails to install though so I'm probably missing that.
[EVO 4G General] ipatella:
Works for me. What words are failing to autocorrect for you? I'll test it out to see if it works for me.
[EVO 4G General] david279:
I put it on my sdcard and installed it in file manager. The apk fixes the auto correction.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
I'm just gonna' manually push the dictionary. Not sure why it fails to install.
[EVO 4G General] ms79723:
The keyboard doesnt work for me at all...
[EVO 4G General] david279:
dunno im using CM6.1
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
I think I might make a Google TV inspired theme for the keyboard. Might as well get a head start on a theme that de-uglifies Gingerbread.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Me too. Question marks all around. I know it's because it's a system file which normally needs to flashed or pushed.
[EVO 4G General] ipatella:
I found a bug. When you reboot the auto correct reverts back to the way it was before you installed the apk.

A fix is that you can reinstall the apk and it will start working fine again.
[EVO 4G General] ms79723:
explains a lot, im on a HD sense port.
[EVO 4G General] zorack8000:
how would i get the launcher2.apk working? it comes up as parse error when installed, and when i terminal install, it does not show up

It's a stupid argument. Why shouldn't stock look good?
[EVO 4G General] casemandan:
Internet calling does that mean no need to even have phone service as long as u got wifi access??
[EVO 4G General] cfaherty:
Hoooooly crap, you are correct. It looks like a cross between WindowsMobile Smartphone addition and an Amiga.

Flat buttons are Ok. Black menus, hideous. Dialog titlebar (missing icon?), hideous. Notification bar, hideous. Expanding list icons, WTF, they are both hideous and nonsensical in their direction. Overscroll effect, hideous. Phone dialer screen, hideous.

Seriously, every single change is hideous. Froyo looks pretty nice.

[General Questions and Answers] hhoverflow:
Hi everybody!

I just got my 1st Android Devide (DHD) and already root, clockwork, changed rom, etc. However, my problem is related to the directories structures inside my SDCARD.

I have 2 questions:

1- I moved some apps that I have in my main memory to my SDCARD via App Settings. However, when I go to my sdcard in windows explorer, I don't find these files. I'm not sure then if is really moving to my sdcard. I just realized some new folders, but they are empty. Does anyone knows what I'm doing wrong?

2- The second question it's linked with the first. I would like to organize in my SDCARD a nice folder structure. Something like:

/

/Songs/

/Photos/

/Documents/

/Backups/

/Games/

/Apps/

And then if you go inside the Apps folder, you have another folder with the name of the application. Pretty much like Program Files folder in Windows.

Is this possible? For Songs, Photos, Documents, I created a folder and it worked. But what about for apps and games that I got on the market?

My SDCARD has also a lot of folder/files that were copied when I put the sdcard on the device. I don't know if I can delete that. Any idea?

Thanks for the help in advance!

[Droid Incredible General] techobsessive:
So...who wants to build the first 2.3 ROM? (Well...when the source code is released. )
[Droid Incredible General] IISiDeK1CKII:
that would be so exciting, gingerbread looks so refined. The keyboard screens I've seen look nearly identical to the iphone, and that is to date the best on-screen keyboard. I'm stoked.
[Droid Incredible General] scottylove:
Let's set the timer for htc, I wonder how long it will take them to push a sense version out? I hope to see the new sense from the desire and also a full bluetooth stack, im dreaming big but that's the reason for the season!
[Droid Incredible General] ksizzle9:
Come on guys!! I just came back to NY trusty ole dinc(from DC, fascinate) and can't wait. HTC Makes the most customizeable phones(don't use ****ty RFS filesystem Samsung uses) and they don't give u a ****ty source to work with and RIL dlfrom android 1.5( talking to you Samsung) this should be exciting!!!
[Droid Incredible General] IISiDeK1CKII:
I figure that since essentially the incredible and the media one are the same phone it shouldn't be too terribly difficult to get a port this way. If I was smarter and could do this stuff is being all over it, good thing we have people who actually ARE that smart... lol. First dev to get it up and running will get a 24 pack from me, donation wise at least.
[Droid Incredible General] lordmuggins:
This is probably a silly question, but can I not just download Gingerbread and install it, or do I *need* to get a customized HTC version?
[Droid Incredible General] Gahh Its Lee:
You need the version made for your phone.. So yea the HTC versiob
[Droid Incredible General] colonel187:
Anybody know if we are getting an official upgrade?. Or is this phone too old now lol.

Edit: just read the new features list. Oh man I just got really excited. Gyrosensor support, dual camera support, better keyboard, better power management, better 3d performance, Better copy/paste. I can't wait. I'd say 2.3 is on par with iOS now for some cool hardware
[Droid Incredible General] Div033:
It would be really nice if HTC supported the incredible, but I won't be surprised if it isn't. However there are a few reasons why we might get it (and they're all purely speculation):

1. Evo and Incredible run off very similar framework/hardware, would be two birds one stone sort of deal to help reinforce customer loyalty

2. The original Droid got froyo and that was almost a year after its release. We are in a similar situation and seeing how cool HTC is with updates we might get lucky.

3. Our hardware is still well within the requirements for gingerbread. As a matter of fact the Nexus S has a 1Ghz processor so there's no reason from a hardware standpoint NOT to do it.

Conversely, HTC did out a number of new devices (G2, MyTouch 4G, Desire Z etc) which might be a higher priority for them to get on gingerbread. Its hard to know for sure, but speculating is fun :)

Sent from my Droid Incredible using the XDA app.
[Droid Incredible General] Cole119:
The Nexus One is getting Gingerbread today and the Incredible/Evo have almost identical hardware, so I say the odds are in our favor. If not, we will definitely get a port from the Nexus One or an AOSP build from one of our great developers.
[Droid Incredible General] irineogomez:
alright i am a sickass noob! *cant express that enough* i mean it even took me like 5 min to find a way to post something on this *so yes this is my first time posting something*, i am just wondering if i am rooted *which i am* and a new update comes out, ei Ginger, how would that effect my phone if i clicked update? would it update my phone and i'd lose root? or would it simply brick my phone? real curious havent been able to find a plain answer anywhere
[Droid Incredible General] ksizzle9:
If u are stock rooted without having removed any of the factory bloatware then if u click update is will simply apply the.update and you will not be rootes anymore. Wala
[Droid Incredible General] derickmc:
You can get the Gingerbread keyboard on your incredible now. Just installed on mine.. Its sexy looking. I got it here:

[Droid Incredible General] onfire4g05:
Really liking the new keyboard. I've not been a fan of any 3rd party keyboards (I'm still using the HTC one), but this may replace it. The only problem with it right now is the autocorrect doesn't work right. Don't want to send a bunch of messed up messages to folks. :)
[Droid Incredible General] derickmc:
in my expierence, the auto correct screws everything up worse. I alwasy turn it off anyway.
[Droid Incredible General] onfire4g05:
Many times it does, but I find it fixes common typos pretty well. The main thing I hate about the HTC keyboard is the autocorrect... I'm NOT a fan of it just popping up there and then it being difficult to get it off the screen or saving a bad spelling in the dictionary. I guess that could be reason enough to turn it off though... lol.
[Droid Incredible General] csseale:
According to the video on the nexxus s site its not just autocorrect but autolearn and correct so the auto correct adapts to the user better thus eliminating the usual hatred for most autocorrects. So far is learning me quiet well.

Can we get a gingerbread ROM up in here?
[Droid Incredible General] Gahh Its Lee:
We lost a great developer over that question... well kinda sorta
[Droid Incredible General] bbuchho90:
Care to explain? its a shame if we actually did lose a dev, I don't keep up on this forum quite enough to know what's going on though.
[Droid Incredible General] Gahh Its Lee:
Last night incredibledoes left the forum because some things that were less than polite were said because people wanted a gingerbread rom faster.

[Droid Incredible General] Xclio:
The flashed version of the 2.3 keyboard doesn't seem to work with 2.2 stock roms just FYI for everyone. At least I haven't seen anyone with any success yet.
[Droid Incredible General] E30kid:
Works fine with CM 6.1, but that's definitely not stock.
[Droid Incredible General] Gahh Its Lee:
It needed to be deodexed or whatever its called I believe.

Nope sure isn't, lol.

http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/12/introducing-nexus-s-with-gingerbread.html

"Nexus S is the first smartphone to feature a 4” Contour Display designed to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand and along the side of your face. It also features a 1GHz Hummingbird processor, front and rear facing cameras, 16GB of internal memory, and NFC (near field communication) hardware that lets you read information from NFC tags..."

The phone is pretty much a Vibrant with a front camera and NFC. Hopefully we can get some drivers for the new BT, WIFI and GPS.
[Vibrant General] stevedrz:
Now, we wait for Samsung to begin releasing source for the galaxy s platform, right?

Since 2.2 has gone so slow for the Vibrant, I wonder how long we'll have to wait.

Look at the camera layout, same as the Galaxy S. I don't know. I have a feeling we're gonna have a good port.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:

[Vibrant General] richiehd:
:) Great minds think alike. Speaking of great minds, I hope some of the devs are around to see this. Those guys move fast.

I'm pretty sure since CM likes Dev phones, once the NS goes on sale he will work on it and whatever he does with that is likely to get pushed to us.

Eugene is fast though, I'm sure he already built a ROM for it!
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
Wow to 2.3.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Koush I know has already ordered one, per a tweet. Team douche may not be able to keep their hands off this samsung.
[Vibrant General] dinan:
I notice on the tech specs it doesn't even record 720p video? I guess it'll be easily hackable to do it, but still...

If it's just a vibrant with a working GPS, FFC, and LED flash, I'm all over it lol.

Is the AMOLED screen the same? (As in... pentile RGBG matrix?) That's the only thing that would hold me back...ugh.
[Vibrant General] gunks:
According to engadget it has a 4-inch WVGA display...
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Does the S not have an sd card slot? Very.. Very odd.

,Alright time for samsung to release some freaking code.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
The phone is quite a let down, but this is necessary. Google needs to use devices that have specs in the wild. Coding on a phone with a dual 1.2 GHz processor with next gen GPU and tons of RAM would only make for an OS that is expensive to build phones for, and an OS that cannot be easily backported to older/supported devices.

That being said, I'm not touching it. Too bad it's not Moto or HTC. Samsung is out, AFAIC.

Apple is about to refresh the iPad, so Android Tablet will face tough competition there.

With the release of WP7, and the patch coming up, Android phone manufacturers are going to start facing stiff competition from low-cost builders like Acer, etc. for the phones, especially since those phones do not require anything near the in-house developer work that Android phones need. They need to start standardizing the hardware better so that the end-user experience is better (update, etc.) and the the performance and developer experience can compare to that of WP7 and iOS.
[Vibrant General] richiehd:
I don't see anything wrong with the Vibrant's screen. Responsive, sexy, sleek.
[Vibrant General] dinan:
Don't get me wrong, I like the Vibrant screen a lot. The ONLY gripe I have with it is the pentile matrix, which makes text look grainy/fuzzy compared to normal LCDs. It's not an AMOLED thing, it's their decision of RGBG instead of RGB for each pixel (technically RGBG is 2 pixels). The Nexus One has the same type of thing, but the screen is 3.7" so it's not as noticeable. On a 4" screen it's much more pronounced... I suggest you don't compare text to an iPhone or MT4G so you don't get annoyed when you see what I'm talking about =)
[Vibrant General] richiehd:
S doesn't have an SD. With built in Apps2SD, I guess they felt they didn't need it. 16GB is a lot of space.

::shrug::

I'm not getting the S. I was going to if it was dual core but there is no need to now. My Vibrant will morph into a Nexus S shortly...
[Vibrant General] richiehd:
Ah, I only notice that once in a while. I have bad eyesight anyway! :p
[Vibrant General] vetvito:

the phone is sexy but sucks i cant get it at tmobile stores. cause my upgrade isnt due till october of next year. i dont think best buy would let me upgrade early.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
I don't really care about the nexus S I just bought the vibrant 3 months ago and $590 is not a joke for me. All i want is that 2.3 be ported to us.
[Vibrant General] epakrat75:
Perhaps changing the LCD density and / or supercurio's VooDoo color reduces or eliminates the issue(s) you have? Haven't tried the latest build of Voodoo myself.
[Vibrant General] dinan:
Wow I hadn't seen that before... I'm definitely gonna try this on my Vibrant when I get home lol
[Vibrant General] pegasus912:
Considering the the Nexus S has such similar specs, I don't see why a the Nexus S 2.3 rom couldn't be ported to the Vibrant fairly quickly.
[Vibrant General] 2012iawait:
im dont with galaxy s phone. samsung sux. will soon sell my vibrant for brand new mytouch 4g
[Vibrant General] PaiPiePia:
We don't need to know that, oh, and don't let the door hit your head on you way out of this forum. You will not be missed.

2.3 looks good for gaming, hopefully that means more developers signing up to make Android games, but most likely after Google implement a better DRM, well its recent acquisition of the DRM firm should help.
[Vibrant General] richiehd:
ebay.com

craigslist.com

There. I'm glad I can be of some help. You're not gonna get enough money for a used Vibrant to buy a BRAND NEW MyTouch4g. Stop being negative. There are people who like Samsung, myself included. In 2 years when my contract is up, I will be buying...yes, another Samsung. Just cut your losses now and get yourself one of those 4g's that have that sweet...um...yeah. I'm just glad Android phones come built in with spell check. It looks like you might need it.
[Vibrant General] wolfsvein:
I just got into putting ROMs on my Vibrant, now I'm looking forward to Gingerbread port to the phone. :D

I had some issue with the GPS on the Axura Rom which I really like but found the Team Whiskey version more stable with the GPS issue.
[Vibrant General] d_bot:
nexus S has nothing amazing that would make me want to get it. Granted the flash camera would be awesome, the FFC is meh (imo) the rest of the specs are pretty much the same....cant wait for some 2.3 source to come out so some devs can work their magic on getting to us.
[Vibrant General] reddragon72:
The biggest hurdle will be the bluetooth. NS has 2.1 and the galaxy S line 3.0 Also the GPS maybe an issue as I am sure google told Samsung to change that crap.

The rest of the phone seems similar and I'm betting that the open source release will bring the rest of us Galaxy S owners up to date, since we are positive that Samsung will never release 2.3 for the GS.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
I can care less about Gingerbread. I don't play games on my phone. I need FroYo for C2DM, a real Flash Plugin so I can access a site I need to access without lugging my notebook computer around, and of course better battery power - on top of other changes I need that comes with FroYo.

Then I'll use this until I decide which WP7 device I want, since I'll likely change carriers when I get it (i.e. so I'd like to wait until I see which CDMA WP7 devices come out soon).

No SD Card, BT 2.1 down from 3.0, etc.

This cannot seriously be considered an upgrade to any current Galaxy S phone, outside of the OS version.

Vibrant users, you guys need to be less bitter and defensive. The phone has known issues and trying to insult people just becaue they mention them and voice plans to get different devices doesn't make you look any better than them.

Yes, lots of people's GPS work flawlessly. The same way lots of people get 20 hours of battery life, on top of other laughable things people try to pass off as "normal." Whatever :P
[Vibrant General] s10shane:
the good thing about the nexus s is it will always be up to date. samsung fails at updates and thats the only problem i have with samsung. i came from a mytouch 4g because i got the vibrant for only 220 out the door used. but i just want froyo for now. but it seems like its gonna be forever till samsung takes there head outta there ass and gives us the official update. i dont wanna have to root my phone and mess with roms. but i gotta admit the nexus s is still a sexy phone and i like the way gingerbread looks. the only thing i wish the vibrant had is the 768mb of ram that the mytouch 4g had.
[Vibrant General] anthonys2r:
I didn't realize the Nexus S was a hummingbird processor (perhaps its even the same 1ghz one in the vibrant). Does this mean 2.3 is optimized for hummingbird processors as 2.2 was optimized for snapdragons (as it was platformed on the N1)?
[Vibrant General] vapotrini:
Seriously disappointing specs if you ask me. Looks like I'm keeping my Vibrant for a while yet, as I don't see this being much of an upgrade. No sd card, wtf?

Anyone else notice the battery life specs? Supposedly, it's stand by and talk time is less than the Vibrant. lol
