You should be able to take any known working version of swype and take contents from my old version in /assets/keyboards, and drop into same location of the working one. I haven't looked into this I haven't had time, but there has to be a way swype is checking the version number and model from the apk, ill see what I can find out and disable it.

until I have time to do this and update the rom with it, hopefully you guys can figure something out to get you through. I have faith in you.

what does this 'new' version of swype have different than the older versions? Is it actually better, or would it even be worth me getting an older version working?

•Major bug fixes,

including setting the "Hidden Word Tip" popup to only appear once per installation

, and allowing contact names to be permanently removed from the user dictionary
[Captivate Android Development] francous:
No Problemo!

and id like to know as well... there are no secrets here!! :p
[Captivate Android Development] ProBoner:
I find there are a few errors in the popup preview words sometimes with the newer swype. It isn't a big deal but sometimes one of the words in the preview window could be "sometim" then you click on it and it's "sometime" which is what you were looking for anyway but it's a silly glitch.

Also if anybody is looking to modify their own version of the beta swype I believe it isn't in the usual system/app/swype.apk location. What you're looking for is probably in the data/app/com.android.swype-inputmethod.apk <-something like that
[Captivate Android Development] francous:

By the way di11i, I've had a couple of times where I had the speaker suddenly die when I'm playing music. Tried with different players and I had to reboot. Wondering how that happened. Was with stock kernel and 7.1.1. Anyone else have this issue? >.>

Edit: think this is a problem on my end. Have same issue with another rom.. Uber sad face
[Captivate Android Development] WillyWonka23:
Speaking of that pro, have you figured out how to theme the beta version without the license being corrupted? I had a working theme but after I rebooted the phone it gave me the "limited capabilities" error. And yes the beta swype .apk is in the data/app/com.android.swype-inputmethod.apk
[Captivate Android Development] sofia-captivate:
How's the battery life on this rom? Is it fast?
[Captivate Android Development] rjblack11:
searching
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
Ahh so this is the problem. I didn't know this but now that i do ill look into it..

And also for the fugu tweaks and my kernel. They don't work because I don't have a config set that needs them. Turning this config on would be simple, but, after reading about it, and it even says this in a file in the kernel that describes some of the config that this config causes more kernel overhead and having it off will make a little faster kernel. So seems like a little bit of a tradeoff to me. So those who the tweaks, is it worth creating more kernel overhead and possibly slowing it down a bit for these tweaks that supposedly 'increase smoothness'
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Battery life has been reported a few pages back by a couple users. Its pretty good, I get over a day with moderate use.

Speed First. Nothing beats when apps and gallery loads quickly..
[Captivate Android Development] charlier1977:
I tried this and get a message that i need to uninstall swype first. I went to manage appear and the uninstall option is grayed out. How do I uninstall?
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
Either with root explorer, delete swype.apk from /system/app, or with adb,

adb shell

su

rm /system/app/Swype.apk
[Captivate Android Development] charlier1977:
I was able to use tibu to uninstall but now now the swype installer say application not installed after getting through the install prompts.
[Captivate Android Development] bigbooty:
You have to use tibu and also delete install setup 1.3. Worked for me.
[Captivate Android Development] garringm:
in adb shell youll probly more than likely need to mount system read/write

atleast in my case running dilli's 7.1 roms and suckerpunch kernel. Even using SGS Tools script I still have to manually mount it through adb to do any work in /system

after the SU command

>busybox mount -o remount,rw /system

This is the line I have to use also don't forget to remount /system Read-only

>busybox mount -o remount,ro /system

Unless the above will yield you easier results than entering a few more commands.

You should even be able to do this on terminal directly on your phone.
[Captivate Android Development] garringm:
Whatya mean increased smoothness, I automatically assume this is associated with screens opening and closing and everything responding as its supposed to. I like mine fast I keep all animations off but I probly dont know what im talking about
[Captivate Android Development] francous:
mine did this at first... i had to reboot a few times thru out the whole process but it works in the end..
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
I don't know what I did or maybe I started to observe just now, but my phone is now saying something like "You phone is now fully charged" in a female voice after the charge full sound. Feels strange 'cos I never noticed it do this before today evening. Tried like 3-4 times successively, and it said that each time.
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
Whaaat? Dude that's wierd. Do you have any kind of battery widget or program anything? Cause I don't believe there's any kind of .ogg sound file or any sound in general that has any kind of sound like that, and I've never heard that either.l
[Captivate Android Development] bclark:
Does it sound like the voodoo girl BC I'd be all about that, hahaha.

Crazy though
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
I don't remember even flashing anything in the last couple weeks. But yes, I did flash 2.3.3 a couple times, and both the times I went for a wipe install of 7.x, and then restored my backup on it via CWM.

I did not install any new app either in the last week. So I was taken aback when my phone started talking.

I have the "talk back" app installed; maybe this is what is causing it. And I do not have any "accessibility" settings set either to read anything aloud.
[Captivate Android Development] Barsky:
Anyone else get a text from ATT today, telling you you can grab 2.2? :-)

Also, how about that ATT tethering news today? So far all I have seen is references to iPhones.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
1. No

2. Not really worried even if they sent emails 'cos I hardly even reach 1500-1600 MB :)
[Captivate Android Development] WillyWonka23:
I just got mine. We are on 2.2.1 right now. Is there any benefit to upgrade to 2.2? Would it make your phone stock 2.2 instead of 2.1?
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
U mean 'downgrade' to 2.2 from 2.2.1? ;)
[Captivate Android Development] WillyWonka23:
Yes, downgrade indeed haha I was curious if it replaces the stock firmware with 2.2. So if you used odin to stock flash, would it flash to 2.2 rather than 2.1? I wasn't quite clear in my last post sorry about that :p
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
No, ODIN would still flash you back to 2.1. The jf6 2.1 firmware is loaded to your phone from the .exe, it doesn't come from the phone. There is an ODIN one click for the first 2.2 captivate build ji6, but its got 3e recovery( just like all 2.2 builds for galaxy s), so its kinda pointless to flash back to that in between roms.
[Captivate Android Development] WillyWonka23:
Alrighty then I won't ponder the update anymore. Thanks for the reply.
[Captivate Android Development] majortool:
I never could achieve this on stock rom! I could have probably milked it for another 10-12 hours if I wasn't traveling and had a car charger.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Wow. That's really sweet!

[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
The ironic thing is my roms in last on the Rom battery test thread in general,. He did say it was the fastest though and it scored the fastest .
[Captivate Android Development] kimchi0400:
Good performance when in use, good battery conservation when idle! Best of both worlds :)
[Captivate Android Development] joeshmoe08:
Guys is "di11iskernel_v5build2speedmod_color.zip" in the first post the latest kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
Yes technically, there is also build 3 that has voodoo color I built for diablo, but other than that there identical. In theory, build 2 should give a little better battery since the screen brightness can go lower, plus the auto brightness settings are supposed to be a little better.
[Captivate Android Development] the_ahmadzais:
Just installing this rom 7.1 how do I update to 7.11?

And howcime my texts are weird I have to scroll up to see someone's text?
[Captivate Android Development] WillyWonka23:
And it is confirmed that auto brightness uses more battery than just leaving the brightness level on low right?
[Captivate Android Development] sofia-captivate:
Ya what's the point of this if your not using any apps or anything.
[Captivate Android Development] joeshmoe08:
You shouldn't be so harsh and quick to make that assumption. How do you know he didn't use the device and apps? You don't. You should have asked for his screen time on first or aasked him how he used it (light,moderate,heavy) before making that assumption.
[Captivate Android Development] joeshmoe08:
Ya of course as always because it uses battery for the detection and change of brightness and most likely the brightness wont be the lowest so it is like having the brightness on 30 on average(I think).
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Its the same for auto rotation too. Like dilli pointed out earlier its best to keep AR too off and turn it on when needed to conserve battery.

For playing videos on you tube n most players I think they somehow manage to go landscape even when AR is off. And for some video players like mplayer we cud set in settings to always play in landscape mode.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Dilli, ours was one of the first roms. Do u happen to recall what was the time he put on then.
[Captivate Android Development] joeshmoe08:
No it is last: 4h 34min to 5% bat (attached)

The thing is though, this tests only screen on time since he plays a super long documentary or something until it goes to 5%. This rom though seems to do better than others in sleep which is how we use the phone the majority of the time so thats why practically we get better battery.
[Captivate Android Development] koreancanuck:
The chart isn't based on the order of testing lol
[Captivate Android Development] joeshmoe08:
I know but if you see he tested Di11i's 7.1.1 so it is very recent and also if you look at the posts in the thread the last one her updated was D1lli1's rom. I posted the chart just for the timings.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
He tested ours even before any of these. And then he restarted the whole cycle and now tested ours only recently.
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
True, you can see in the first few pages that he said di11is rom was done, but the time never got posted, either way, nobody should judge a roms battery time by that in any way. Way too many variables, only one phone, and results aren't much different(not enough to account for any margin or error, which I'm sure is huge)
[Captivate Android Development] the_ahmadzais:
Can anyone not ignore and tell me why my texts are being weird? I have to scroll up to see and find them why?
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Probably cause nobody understands what you are talking about. Post a screen shot or explain further.
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:

When I flash the thieving bastards patch my build shows as 7.0.1 in the about phone.
[Captivate Android Development] bclark:
Thieving bastards?

Mine definitely shows 7.1
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
At the bottom of the first post. I flashed 7.1 then the 7.1.1 patch, then the thieving bastards patch. Shows 7.0.1 in the about phone. Had to reflash the 7.1.1 patch for it to show that in about phone.
[Captivate Android Development] double RL:
Thieving bastards has a modified build.prop that has 7.0.1 instead of 7.1.1. You can just change it with root explorer.

[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
I'm really looking forward to your next release, as always. Just curious, what kernel will be on 5.0? (Or is that going to be a secret surprise?) I'm trying out Serendipity 2.0 ATM and it's good and fast. With GB's OC kernel I'm getting really good battery (probably the best I've had, actually) but I'm experiencing occassional random shut downs and charge of death issues so I don't think I'll be using this for too much longer (read: as soon as you release 5.0). :)

[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Try flashing a different kernel meanwhile. That might help.
[Captivate Android Development] sofia-captivate:
What's a good kernel for good battery life?
[Captivate Android Development] diablo009:
Not possible to say. You'll have to flash n try out what's best for ur hardware. Some hardware work best on some kernels. Mine works best on xcalibur n glitterballs n dilli's customized for me.

[Captivate Android Development] bclark:
I don't know if this is a crazy question and it may be because I searched around and couldn't seem to find anything about it.

Is there any way to allow the battery stats portion of the settings menu to persist through a reboot? I can never quite seem to get an accurate idea (or screenshots) of how battery life is doing because I always seem to be testing one thing or another and then reboot or UV freeze, etc.
[Captivate Android Development] rjblack11:
good question. I've always wondered this and one time i erroneously reported my stats because I forgot I had rebooted for a setting.
[Captivate Android Development] bclark:
Right? I wonder if there is a way to get the settings app to ignore reboots and only accept charging.

There may also be a much easier way... I just don't want a battery monitor app/widget running 24/7 defeating the purpose of working out the best life.
[Captivate Android Development] rjblack11:
yeah I just did some root exploring and found battery_history/_info under system/app/settings.apk view layout XML files, but not sure how to remove reset after boot. I'm not even on the brink of doing yet just looking.
