Just flashed b#28 after a wipe of user data and cache and dalvik cache.

Findings:

- app pinyin crashes, get it two times, als after reboot

seems it is the default keyboard, how to change? unusable like this :(

- camera FC seems to be over. photos of front cam stil upside down

- cant do anything else! keyboard keeps crashing.

Can't check if AdFree works now, it did not in b#26.

How to change keyboard?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Jaskwith:
Okay, so my phone randomly rebooted AGAIN today. I think I figured out the process that causes it to do such however... It seems both times, I had Pandora up, and playing, locked my screen...and then I receive a text popup from my HandCent application, and it reboots my phone. ;(

P.S. Fix the widgets!

Can the keyboard be changed in settings?

I am unable to use the ROM.

Updated Clockwork to 3.0.0.2 , is that ok?

I'll redownload the rom too.

At the moment it is unusable for me!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sykopompos:
Yes, it is in settings under lang and keyboard. Please look just a few posts above yours. I just answered the same question.

It is cause the .mk files were changed all up in the newest to drop unnessicary crap but unfortunely we are still get this with a -eng build. I would make it a -userdebug but than I would be hearing that people are getting permission denied in adb when all you need to do is adb remount

Nvm I guess u can. According to the above post.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] OpenMinded:
Sorry, I did not find the post and I do not understand.

I redonwloaded b#28, same problem.

I know where the setting is, i see three keyboards there but no way to choose one as default?

I flashed b#26 back without trouble.

Can you please be specific on how to change the keyboard, because I honestly not see that option.

I know about the key in the keyboard that leads to a change option, but since i cannot use the crashing keyboard, i cannot.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Christopher3712:
Why don't you just install root explorer, open it, go to /system/app folder. Click the button in the upper right hand corner to Mount R/W, then delete PinyinIME.apk. This will force android to choose another keyboard as it's default.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] robkoehler:
you gotta be quick...get to a text entry field and long press it in between FC's. that will allow you to change to the stock keyboard.

I had the same issue when I first installed it. All I did to fix the keyboard issue was hold down in the input space to change they keyboard and changed it to Android keyboard. Easy fix and works perfect now.

I really wish T-Mobile would stop calling it unlimited internet when we only have 5gb... Last month I almost made to the end of my billing cycle, this month I'm already over 5gb and still have 18 days left! Wifi needs to be everywhere!

Anyway, back on topic... Build 28 is working good so far. I haven't had the keyboard issues. Was having the ADW ex issue but fixing permissions and rebooting seems to have it working the way it should. Did have the market force close once. That's about it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] aznpr1de808:
what im wondering is how are people rooting, flashing recoveries, installing ROMs, etc. without the basic knowledge of how to change the input method on an android device? :D lol
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Scoop24:
I must be the only one that prefer the stock GB launcher. Its so smooth on this rom.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sl1k1:
I think its the lack of customization on the stock launcher.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] foxdl99:
I've tried to point people to other forums/threads where they can learn how to do fundamentals, but they want an answer in a dev thread about simple, simple stuff. It becomes very frustrating, but we are all here to help I suppose.

Edit: Also to note, I don't think anyone is willing to take the time to read through the pages. Their excuse is always "I don't want to read through 200+ pages". Well guess what I do in my spare time? Amazing what you can pick up if you're paying attention. Also, "search this thread" is an extremely useful tool.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] aznpr1de808:
yup and if i wanted the stock GB launcher i wouldve got a Nexus S lol ;) but since im the kinda guy that dispises anything stock thats why i use all other launchers.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] aznpr1de808:
lol very true, i mean i dont helping others but wow input method??? seriously?? :confused: hehe but hey luckily we here on this forum are alot more friendily unlike when i used to be on the vibrant forum lol :D it used to get nasty up in there lol
[myTouch 4G Android Development] webisweb:
Nope. I posted like 100 pages ago that stock launcher is great and google really nailed it this time. So please don't take the crown away from me :)

Any thing new on 28, just flashed but don't notice anything.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gabeoravitz:
Loving the new GB builds. Does anyone know how to enable DSP Manager, or something similar. I know GB has built in equalizer APIs, but I haven't been able to find how to utilize it myself. I know PowerAmp has an EQ, but it's just not as good as having one at the lower level the way DSP Manager was. That's really all this ROM is missing for me. Otherwise this ROM is awesome!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jbrew78:
Are you looking for the app?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] skyungjae:
hey option, do you plan on posting what works and what doesn't on the first post?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sl1k1:
I think option went MIA lol
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gabeoravitz:
No, I have the DSP Manager app. It doesn't do anything though because it requires a specific libaudio.so and libaudioflinger.so. I figured they wouldn't work at all because of GB's new audio stuff.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] OpenMinded:
Thank you for your reply!

I guess some people do not have the issue, because they flash 28 over 26.

I just did that and had no issue with the keyboard.

When I have the issue at the next, i will think of this solution. I could not find it documented anywhere!

[myTouch 4G Android Development] jbrew78:
Full wipe, flash 26, reboot, reboot into recovery, flash 28 without wipe, reboot. if no problems go back and flash your gapps if they aren't already showing up.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] HeavyComponent:
Most likely go dual, but what was that software you mentioned? I'm going thru the steps on the site. Will they mention it on the site? Or that's something I would have to know or find out on my own?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] macheteZen:
I think you mean VMware.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] OpenMinded:
Well, I can explain that one.

Have you tried googling for that?

It changed in 2.3, in 2.2 it was simply in the keyboard language settings, now it is not (at least not in this ROM).

And how can people know about that if they just have 2.3 running for the first time?

Big help.

So for those who did not read it in previous posts:

- you can remove the pinyin keyboard from /system/app with root explorer, or:

- keep the screen pressed in a text input field: you can then switch to the Android keyboard

Last but not least you can run b#28 after b#26, for me I had no issues.

When I switch to the Chinese keyboard now it crashes, i can go back by using the hold screen method.

Hope that helps.

Has anyone made a phone call on this ROM yet? I just tried to answer a call and then make a call, I get no audio in my spearker....Like I can't hear what they are saying, and I can't hear the ringing while I wait for them to answer... rebooted.. going to test again.

EDIT: Looks like a reboot fixed it, but it wasn't my first time rebooting my phone, and I have fixed permissions etc... so I am thinking that something caused it...and it might be a bug with the code..? Something that might have contributed to it is that I am listening to my pandora with iphone speakerphones, which are compatible for output, but they aren't compatible as an input device... so when someone calls me I just unplug them and answer...I am going to try and replicate the bug...Hmm just did it again, seems to be fixed. Was weird though, sucked.

Yeah, cause they changed some **** in the source and now it is pulling that as the default kb. I could fix it by doing a -userdebug but people don't know what a adb remount is so I would be hearing OMG I don't have root, I can't adb, blah, blah, blah. Not worth that headache

This looks a lot like a bug that I saw in CM6.1. I don't remember if it was on the Mytouch 4G or on the G2, but I remember it. I think the dialer wasn't actually taking up extra battery, it was just looking like it was. If it had to do with a lot of talking, I'm pretty sure it would be the "Phone" app, not the "Dialer".

Well I can tell you from my own experience for what that's worth, I made my own site and used it for building WM ROMS http://liaroms.com. It was worth it to me to help keep track of things and cut down on people reposting links around the world causing my data usage and bandwidth to go through the roof. I also self learned HTML and did all the customization and CSS work myself. It was not all that hard and I learned something new. I chose Wordpress as it is very easy to maintain and update. I only used this site for about six months and it has been dormant for about 4 months as I made the move to Android and gave up on WM but it had it's advantages in addition to just XDA. There are some things you can do and offer on your own site that you can't on other forums.

I personally like your idea of AOSP ROMs even though I like CM as well. I also like the original source to customize the way you want.

Good luck in your decision.
