[Nexus S General] jlevy73:
Been using this keyboard since yesterday and it's quite nice. Thanks for posting the link.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
Agreed. Its quite nice. I've had a lot fewer errors (auto-corrected or not) than on the stock keyboard. Nice post OP!
[Nexus S General] babluc:
Giving it a shot and seems to be better so far.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
As a huge critic of the stock keyboard, I'm very excited to try this. Installing now. Will drop feedback after a day or two of use.

Initial impressions:

-Yes, the keys are definitely higher, slightly so. This should make it feel less cramped. I can tell already the extra room makes it easier to type.

-I still wish we can long press respective letter keys to get to their alternative symbols as oppose to only being able to long press the period key to find commons symbols.

-This will take more time to test, but it seems it's harder to recreate the double-letter hit issue which I criticize the keyboard heavily about. If this turns out to be true... hurray! Kenvan, have you noticed the double-letter issue popping up less? EDIT: Nevermind, it's rearing its ugly head again, but my early impression seems to show it happening less, which is a good start.

OP, where did you find this alternative? Thanks for sharing. I can tell it's better than stock just for the shear extra room. I ask because I'm wondering if the creator did anything else software-wise to make it better, if you all are reporting it's less prone to errors. I'd be curious to know what he did.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
nvm need more research.
[Nexus S General] ruben8448:
Yea i read your post on the other keyboard thread you started. Yea so far i am really noticing a lot better results with this keyboard. I have been testing it for a week now and its going great. I was browsing around the android section in the threads and i found it here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=878073&highlight=Keyboard
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Hmmm...that's odd. Per the first post of that thread, this is just a port of the Gingerbread keyboard that was originally made for earlier versions of Android.

So this is our stock keyboard with what modifications. The changelog in that post doesn't suggest anything special about it in terms of making it better on our Nexus S than the stock.
[Nexus S General] ruben8448:
Yes, i was a bit hesitant to try this because i figured it was just our keyboard ported over but its different from our keyboard. Its a very slight difference, but a difference indeed. The keys are slightly longer and that just seems to make things a bit easier, for me and so far for the few who have attempted the keyboard. I took a screen shot of both stock and this ported stock, i guess you can call it, and you can see the slight difference.

Plus, i was just wandering around and i found this thread and thought "what the heck, let see it," it was never originally meant to go onto the nexus s but it seems better than what came with nexus s.
[Nexus S General] Jayrod1980:
This keyboard rocks. Thank you!
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
After a typing all day with this version of the stock keyboard, I am noticing it produces the same issues/errors as the regular stock version. I'm still noticing the double-letter hits with the first words of letters and/or the last words of letters ("eexample" or "examplee"); I'm also still noticing missed presses ("exmple"), but on the plus side: I am noticing far less missed space bar presses. Another issue that still occurs is the system missing auto corrections that it would normally get. For example, typing "tgan" usually automatically corrects to "than" but sometimes it misses it, and I see "tgan" throughout my emails. Very frustrating.

I predict the reason most people are reporting less errors using this version versus the reg. version is because of the higher keys. This alone makes this version better than the reg. version. But in terms of software, it's more or less the same, and the same problems creep up.

In the end, I'm going to return to Better Keyboard 8. Although it has the same issues (double-letters, etc.), at least it's features are more robust. Quick "?" key, or long-press for all letters alone makes it far easier to type on. Key height adjustment allows you to pick what's perfect for you too, and etc.

Honestly, it's disappointing and straight up baffled why Google themselves don't just implement all or some of these features to their keyboard. Sorely missing from both the stock keyboard and BK8 are custom auto-corrections, a feature Smart Keyboard Pro implements flawlessly. It's just a shame SKP has its own slew of issues with Gingerbread (it misses space bar and letters like crazy); oddly, none of these issues happen using SKP on my Vibrant. I don't know why.

In any case, thanks again for sharing, OP.

Has anyone used Z4 Mod/Root to root your evo? Does it work?

On unrevoked, do I just go to the website and click the link via the phone and is that all? Or is there more to it?

Also which is best, the unrevoked3 or the forever one?

Doing this for a friend, my evo was already rooted when I bought it (would have done it myself, but it was cheaper then a stock non-rooted one, so why not lol)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Z4 is a temporary root only and will not allow you to flash any custom ROMs. You need to do it every time you reboot your phone. It can be used to run some root apps like wifi tether but that's it.

Unrevoked 3 is a full root, and includes Unrevoked Forever so both are not needed. It is very easy to do but not as simple as clicking a link on your phone. It runs on your pc. Here is the easy guide for Unrevoked.

As far as I know, no.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwbristow@cox.net:

I use z4root,

but after having powered off my phone on seperate instances,

z4root had difficulty temp-rooting,

it works, but not every time

considering Unrevoked
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r916:
So I dload the unrevoked file, change hboot driver, restart phone, open unevoked file and thats all?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
You need to install and then uninstall HTC sync first. Everything you need to do can be found in that link I posted.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r916:
I don't have htc sync.

I'm running Ubuntu, do I still need to do the hboot driver thing?

Or how do I do it running linux?

I will pp a couple bucks if someone can pm me how to do this running ubuntu/linux.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
I think with Linux you just download the Linux version and run it. Go to www.unrevoked.com, click on the EVO, click Unrevoked3 and then click the Linux download.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r916:
So Plug in the phone, run program and thats all?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Yep, should be. There will be on screen instructions telling you what to do/whats happening.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
If you need HTC sync, mount your sd to your compy and check the sd card. There is the HTC sync exe on there and you can run it. Then un-install it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r916:
I don't need or want htc sync.

He's running Linux, pretty sure HTC Sync is Windows only.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Unrevokeds FAQ says the Linux version is entirely.self contained so all you need to do is plug your phone in and run Unrevoked. Make sure phone is set to charge only.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Misread the post then...fairly tired; but yes from what I know, its windows only.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r916:
Also do I mount the phone once I plug it in the pc?

Also does the unrevoked 3 work for all versions/updates?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r916:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
Honestly if you are unsure what to do or not one for reading just do the z4root. Once you root wit its a whole new world and if your friend just wants wireless tether then z4 is for him. Otherwise unrevoked is easy as hell just read the directions and try YouTube for visual aid if still worried

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidc23:
nope, try rebooting you pc and phone and plug it in
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r916:
tried it. how do get root access with linux? i tried and got it to say root user in terminal but i dont know where to go from there.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidc23:
honestly i really dont know , but im pretty sure you dont need root access , when you leave it pluged in for a while does it read it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
No need, my friend. I'm here to help. I hope you get it figured out, I'm sure it's something simple.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r916:
Well I got it,

had to go to terminal, I logged in as root (type ' su' if you already have your password if not type 'sudo passwd' and change it to what you want.) then type 'su' and type password.

then i entered command '/home/adminricky/Desktop/reflash'

And once It pops up a msg and when i press okay it starts to try and push the recovery.

So it should be all good to go.

You can't on the stock messaging app. I personally use handcent, and all you have to do on both is when you add 1 person, click the + mark or tap it again to add more recipients.

Works better than stock, allows you more customization as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] seraphine:
Guys, all these custom ROMs and themes are fabulous, but the Samsung apps apparently can't be themed easily or replaced -- notably contacts. They stand out all blue like eyesores -- no way to match them to Gingerbread, even the blue version of gingerbread which are a slightly different shade of blue.

Is there any possibility of theming them at all? I'd love to take a crack at it if anyone has an inkling of how it could be done.

Update: Just after I post this I noticed that everyones started theming the default apps as of their last releases (R64, Blue Steel etc.). Can a mod delete this thread then? I'll PM them quietly.

Thank you for this!
[Fascinate Android Development] bendbowden:
Thanks for this bro. I edited the android.policy.jar for the puzzle lockscreen to also include reboot and accurate battery mods (actually the only thing affected by the policy is the reboot options). I did this so that I could include it with my theme which has a themed puzzle lockscreen as an option. Here is a flashable zip with the edits. Feel free to post in the OP if you want.

Note, I only zipped the android.policy.jar. I did not included the services.jar or the framework-res.apk (which are necessary for the reboot options and accurate battery) so that one can simply flash this over their theme. All themes use different .png's for the acc batt and reboot mods. For it to work properly, the theme one flashes this over must have reboot options. Flash the other zip in the OP if you are running stock or your theme does not include reboot options.
