So basically people are suggesting "bump charging," essentially the same as topping off at the gas station. Is there reason to believe this will have lasting effect on battery, or will you just have longer battery for this charge cycle?

Restoring Swype on CM7

Swype beta is definitely an option. But since you've paid for your phone, you own a Swype license which means you can pull the software from the stock ROM and push it back onto your CM7. It's a little bit of work since you have to temporarily revert to stock ROM, but it's a one-time thing. Once you have the files on your computer, you can push them to almost any custom ROM you install.

Before we continue:

1. Do not post the files here (or anywhere). Swype is a paid software and distributing it is against the law.

2. There are two files involved and you need both for Swype to work.

Pulling Swype from the stock ROM:

Assuming you have ADB working, hook up your phone to USB and:

adb pull /system/app/Swype.apk .
adb pull /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so .

Pushing Swype:

adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
adb push libSwypeCore.so /system/lib
adb install Swype.apk

I've done this so many times I made a batch file to do it for me. :cool:

Also, I learned this from a post by RuncaProfundus, so all credit goes to him/her (link).

[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
I tried pulling the apps for the stock flashlight and stock email. Got the apk from the system folder but neither would install, anyone know how to pull those?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] faux123:
To install System Apps, you need root explorer and Terminal Emulator (or just use ADB push methods, easiest way).

Use root explorer and copy the system apps you want to install to

/system/app

once finished copying,

open Terminal emulator:

su

cd /system/app

chmod 644 *

chown root.root *

exit terminal emulator, reboot!

you should see system app show up in app tray....

Any HTC Sense based apps (ie stock email, contacts, camera, etc) will not work on any ROM that doesn't have the Sense framework integrated into it. In short, if you want those apps, you have to run a Sense based ROM.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
where you have the * you just type out the apk name? IE: "mail.apk" (minus the quotes)?

so the whole thing would look like

su

chown root.root mail.apk

correct?

For those of you with sub-par wifi speeds.. since rc1 (I'm on build 8 now) after a reboot I would show mediocre 4g and wifi speeds.. I switched into airplane mode then back again and my speeds are back.. 5mbps on 4g and 15mps on my n router
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
Just a little follow up since training my battery, haven't used the phone much except texting and facebooking but the results are still impressive.

fyi this is still on the same build 5 that was getting horrible battery life previous to the training and I DID NOT wipe battery stats either
[myTouch 4G Android Development] j21blackjack:
I'll try that and repost my speed test here in a few minutes.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
i tried it and my wifi speed got worse...

BTW: I asked earlier, and it seems to have been missed. On stock you can send mp3s via bluetooth. I can't figure out how to do it. I'm on build 7. Sending pics works fine, but can't send mp3s.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
The stock Camera wasn't that good anyway, it compressed pictures too much. I used 3rd party app and was much better.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] xXy3kXx:
OK FOR THOES OF YOU WHO CANT DECIPHER MY LAST POST!!!

I WANT THE CAMERA FROM THE ORIGINAL STOCK ROM ON THE MYTOUCH 4G.

I dislike the camera app currently on cm7. It's ****, it's like the original camera app from the G1 crap!!! I take a lot of pix for my fam back home, i want them to oooooohhhh and aaaahhhh when they see them, im not getting that with this camera. ANY ONE HELP ME OUTT??
[myTouch 4G Android Development] UncleEk:
I'm on build 8 as well and will try this. My wifi speed is very fluctuate and does not show full signal even I sit besides the router (yes, I've rebooted the phone). And leaving the wifi on on this build seems to be an extreme battery hog. My battery went from 100 to 70 in 3 hours with light use. Once I disabled it, I got 18 more hours until the phone cried for charger.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mbernusg:
I don't have any idea of the reasoning behind it.. but my phone for some reason consistently has behaved this way for the 2 weeks ive been running cm7
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mulletcutter:
As far as i know, the sense camera can not be put on cm7, but like others said...try the market for other camera apps. Me, i dont have a problem with the camera at 5mp it takes good pictures.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
I'm assuming it does and I figure that's most likely why we haven't seen a nightly in a day or two. If build 9 is 2.3.3 I'll be staying on build 8 until Facebook gets with the program.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] j21blackjack:
Same here. There's got to be some way to get actual wifi speeds on the rom.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] xguntherc:
in case no one said it.. Wifi Calling is "enabled" when wifi is turned on. You need to start the app once, and turn it off. Then you wont get battery drain from it. I noticed this also.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] xguntherc:
Case for the MyTouch 4G.. if anyone wants a great case, very cheap, that fits well. I have one for you. The TPU cases are rubbery plastic basically. soft enough to bend but strong enough to hold strong when dropped. I've had one on my Nexus One the entire time I've had it.

This case fits my MT4G perfect, and protects the screen at the same time.

When you add a facebook account, select "sync contacts" as an option.

Now once Facebook accounts are sync'd, and if a already existing contact is not affiliating itself with a Facebook account (seems to automatically based on email or phone number of the facebook user) you can go into a contact, hit menu -> edit contact -> join. From there you can select whichever contact you want that contact to be bound with. Viola! You can also separate contacts that might be bound incorrectly.

Hope this helps?

How'd you get that in black?? I'm running the beta and mine doesn't look like that.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mistic99:
I would unstall the beta prior to installing the latest rom. After install and reboot swype would not work. had to do a manual uninstall and then reload rom.

Damn I missed your question cause I been off the computer and on the phone app for a couple hours :D. To answer....I wish I knew what to even try and do. I tried everything I can think of but I wouldnt know what to try and change in it to get it to work. It installs fine but just force closes when you try to use it. I did DL Vlingo but I havent messed with it yet. It FC'd twice while I was on xda and I wasnt even using it so i going to have to check it out. If you got any Ideas throw em at me.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bobsbbq:
Man this is so weird I lost my perm root somehow. I'm sure it is not the ROM but damm I'm trying to figure out what could have done it? The only thing I can think of is I was messing with the ROM manager. I still have eng hboot and s-off but no su permissions. weird.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tapfuma:
Had the same issue had to flash back to stock and re-root but i am on CW 3.0.0.5 and all my roms that i try to flash keep cycling any pointers ?. I even tried a different ROM and they all are doing the same thing, but the moment i flash stock it has no issues. S =off so dont know what i am doing wrong
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
You cant flash anything but gingerbread roms or backups with 3.x.x.x Recovery. And make sure you arent flashing or nandroiding from Rom Manager if you are using a 3.X.X.X Recovery.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
Try flashing a previous rom or nandroid and see if that restores it. I have had this happen but in other circumstances. Maybe this will help me to figure it out.

Here's the zip file for Genius button and Dragon Dictation:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LEQJAUCH

IMPORTANT!

This was for CM 6, I have no idea if it will work with any of the CM 7 roms.

Instructions:

1. Download file and transfer it to the root of the sd card. Do not extract it, leave it as a .zip file.

2. Boot into recovery.

3. Choose "install from zip file" and select the zip file.

4. Reboot.

5. Open ROM Manager and click "Fix Permissions."

6. You may have to reboot again.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] AbbaSou:
What were you on before, what recovery are you using, what did you wipe if anything, etc.? Details, man. That's the only way we can help you.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tapfuma:
much appreciated, i was on stock then went to #1 with 2.x.x.x All was okay until #3 came out and i so i downloaded it from ROM Manager and then went to CM and cleared cache and Dalvik and thn i installed from Zip and navigated to the file and then when it said installation successful and it has been looping ever since. I flashed the stock back on and worked fine.Had to root again, I dowloaded Rom manager and this time went to 3.0.0.5 and tried # 1, 5 and keep getting the same thing now
[myTouch 4G Android Development] AbbaSou:
Ok, so if I understand correctly, you are currently running CWM 3.0.0.5, which is good, but it looks like you didn't do a full wipe before flashing CM7, which is bad. If that's the case, wipe everything (wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik-cache) then flash #5 again.

If you're still on CWM 2.5.x, you need to update to CWM 3.x. It appears the easiest way to do that is to follow TrueBlue_Drew's guide posted somewhere in this thread - about 15 pages back I think? (might just use the "find posts by this user" function).
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tsuujin:
I know these posts are always kind of a bother, but would anyone happen to have the clock app (timer, alarm, stopwatch...) From the stock glacier? I really do miss it.

Mine actually fits well enough, but it's tight. I might use your trick and exacto knife a little bit of it. but I don't want a sharp edge. the way I hold my phone. my ring finger was getting sore from the edge where the charger goes. My number 1 issue with the MT4G is the side charge, and it being upside-down. I hate that. All charger ports should be on the top or bottom (preferably top) and right-side up.

Oh and regarding facebook sync. This is currently only for the Crespo (aka Nexus S) and that google will only result to this on other "high end devices" probably Google Experience devices. flexing some muscles it sounds like til facebook gets on the ball. So I'm thinking that Cyan will either add it back for the S. or just leave it be until facebook fixes this. No way he's adding that loss of feature to all of CM7. No way.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] graffixnyc:
I think it being on the top would be annoying.. especially if you were trying to talk on the phone when it was charging.. you'd have the wire sticking up..it's just not natural.. I would much rather it be on the bottom.. but I would much rather it be right where it is now than on top

NICE! You east costians get all the speed. What nightly are you running?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] coupetastic-droid:
all my speed tests are done in my home though. also my area is a 4g area.

without the mods to he build prop i barely get over 1.xx mbps lucky to get 2.xx. i dont know, but whatever im doing to that build prop some thing is happening.

anyways, my phone rebooted itself today. first time its ever done that since i started flashing nightlies.has not happen again.

I agree, the usb port should be on the bottom. Hard to hold the phone and talk with it plugged in. I found some Right angle usb cables on ebay, going to order a couple and see how they work.

My ONE wish with all Android phones would be a Universal Port on the bottom something like *cough* Apple *cough* has so we android people could have all the cool docks and stuff.

Not very clear on this "tip". Are you saying that for each reboot you have to run the "WiFi Calling App" once. Then you can turn it to off and it will still work but then will not use battery?

Then do what i did - download Camera360 from the market. IF you know what you are doing with camera settings, this one has a lot to mess with. With the correct settings, it does not compress picture (like even the STOCK camera does.

Viewed side-by-side, the difference really stands out. So stop wining and do something (really simple) about it!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
I see the network icon asometimes when I am using WiFI, and other times it does not appear. However, this does not mean that you are using data on the network versus WiFi.

I track my use with 3G Watchdog and it only counts data usage on the network and shows no usage while on WiFi.

What I not sure of is whether or not the network radio is using the battery when the icon and "h" appears in the status bar.

I moved from the RC to build 8 - running OK overall. Also had a slightly updated camera (advanced settings on the menu now). Have not noticed anything else...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] smonme:
thanks alot for this, decided to reflash nightly 8, going to flash stock recovery let it charge then back to clock work and see if my battery life in general gets better (also gonna try not running smartass kernel, installed same rom on a friends phone and his ran 14 hours with moderate usage only at 95%).
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jdkoren:
Gonna have to disagree with you on that one. USB ports are already standardized, so they might as well stick to those. Most phones now are small enough that they need to use a micro USB slot anyhow. I'll support putting the plug on the bottom of all phones, but that's about it.

The fact that Google doesn't make phones also makes your wish pretty hard to fulfill. How are they going to force all the manufacturers to incorporate a new port type? That's an uphill battle if I ever saw one. Apple can do it because they produce everything themselves, and it's little things like this which form the Apple "bubble" that everyone who buys their products has to fit into. If you really need all those accessories with special docks, perhaps you should have bought an iPhone :p

Besides, soon enough we'll have phones that don't need any physical connection to "dock" with something, at which point this whole discussion will be irrelevant.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mulletcutter:
Better then the samsung, where it on top...and i think hd2, where u look like an alien when charging and talking haha
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
I did the build.prop mods and after rebooting, it took much longer to lock in satellites - both with NAV and GPS Status. Deleted it and renamed the .bac file Root Explorer created, and rebooted again. GPS Status connected in a few seconds (as usual), so the mod made things worse for me.

As for build 8 - I am running without smartass kernel (I had used it for several builds and the RC) and also tried the "battery conditioning" with the stock Recovery.

My battery life is unchanged compared to the last several ROMs - both with and without flashing the kernel.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ziggy34:
Never said it would be easy. if phones do get to the point of not needing a dock and its all done wireless, I hope batteries last longer
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Pretty much every phone uses micro usb now anyway, except for the Samsung phones which require a special long/slim plug so you can only use their cables. Epic fail, Samsung. :rolleyes:

As for connections, just about everything is already bluetooth and wifi enabled, including my mom's new Sony tv and my buddy's new Denon stereo receiver.

I'll always opt for a physical connection though. Better sound quality.

Seriously? Can someone please explain to me how to fix my wifi speeds? I ran the test three times, and I also ran it on my computer. I got 14 Mbps on the computer.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
I'm experiencing the same wifi thing, so slow...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
WiFi issues are usually the result of a lot of over flashing the ROMs without a clean wipe. I get WiFi downloads of 14 mbps - same as on my laptop. But I have had a number of WiFi issues in the past and all were cleaned up with a wipe/clean install.

Getting set up again after a total wipe is a bit of a pain, so you might try a "partial" wipe (where you don't wipe data). In addition to clearing cache and dalvik, format /system in recovery (but not data). I think most of the "noise" from all the flashes is in the system, so this may clear it up.

If not - will probably have to add fastboot erase plus factory reset (by-by data) to the above.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
FWIW, system is formatted every time you flash a new rom. /Data and cache are all that remain untouched.
