[Xperia Arc General] dlads:
Lol why wouldn't you want root access?

Autostarts (kills system apps and others which eat your system resources)

Set CPU (requires root if you want to install custom kernels also UC /OV)

Titanium, adfree, droidwall, custom roms......etc .... the list is endless, whoever said that root is not needed obviously doesn't care what they buy, the stock launchers on most devices are poor at best, the arc, the optimus 2x, Motorola Defy etc.. Again, the list is endless, root is good and nothing but good, it makes your device what it should have been in the first place, it gives so much more so stop with the silly comments about it not being needed.

I'm sure that the Arc will be rooted soon enough as Sony has given us a backdoor essentially and the devs will exploit it for all us rom addicts, be patient and gratious.

The Arc is a good device hampered by yet another poor software implementation over our beloved android (yet again) I don't know how the big companies can have the brass balls to pass off their excuse for launchers as acceptable, not when a small gang of devs can basically strip it down and make a launcher which is ten times better than their efforts, not to mention the kernels and themes which are created.

Sony, LG, Moto and HTC should be ashamed of themselves and take a leaf out of our book for once, unlock the damn bootloaders and make rooting easier, they stand to lose nothing.

Rant over :)
[Xperia Arc General] mtechfan:
I want root just for Ad-Free, otherwise with ATK and even Lookout running in the BG I have on average 200mb of Ram free and the device runs like a champ using very little battery power on standby. The Arc's UI is perfectly fine, a long step forward from previous Xperias.
[Xperia Arc General] vegetaleb:
Root for me:

-Titanium backup

-Custom roms that don't let you get bored (Modaco,MIUI,CM7,Formel...)

-Transparent statusbar

-Overclock

-Newer OS update

-Super bright torch light

-Modded camera

-Better battery

-Faster WIFI locking

...

:eek:
[Xperia Arc General] StickyGeko:
the arcs launcher is fine, ok a little lag at times (not sure if this is just my unit) but i kinda like the launcher but the only way is up for the ARC
[Xperia Arc General] Inferis:
Doesnt this means that we can root now?

[Xperia Arc General] Step666:
Not in itself, no.

Take for example the Motorola handsets - they have the complete opposite of an unlocked bootloader, it's encrypted with a 1024bit RSA key, but they can be rooted.

But it should make it easier for those in the know to root it.

[Defy Android Development] Kribou:
Hi,

Yes, you can flash it, but you have to keep in mind the non downgradable issue and the radio (3G,H,E,G) fix to keep good signal where you are located.

Thus, check the camera to assess if it works properly after flashing.

[Defy Themes and Apps] Gusar321:
This one is from the Barebones 1.5.1 "Removed.Stock.Apps" package. You have to manually push it to /system/app, then adjust permissions. No idea if it'll work on anything but Barebones 1.5.1, but give it a try.

[Defy Themes and Apps] adida101:
The DLNA app is pretty lousy from my experience, not at all reliable.

I strongly recommend using Estrongs File Manager which works as both a file manager (full LAN access) and a streaming tool, and allows you to stream media files with any appropriate app on your device (I recommend Mobo Player for videos, plays just about anything :cool:)

I found this to be the most painless method!

Hi,

I use Racht Froyo à.15 custom ROM.

I would like to update the app Launcher Pro Plus with the new version.

I already have the .apk file.

So I tried to delete the old one and replace it by the new one in the /system/app directory but when I reboot, I stuck on Froyo logo.

How it is possible to do that ?

Thank
[XPERIA X8 General] dbts25:
First you must install other launcher like adw and then remove launcher pro
[XPERIA X8 General] zeduck:
Thanks for your quick reply !

I will try that
[XPERIA X8 General] killmyself:
can't you just open newer apk file in file manager and there is option uninstall or update. It's so in all apps I noticed but don't know how about launcher.
[XPERIA X8 General] Defenistrator:
how do you remove the stock launcher and replace it with another launcher?

[Nook Color General] PGibbons999:
I'm in the swype beta but it fails to work with the NC's screen resolution.

I saw a large thread with some file going around but I don't know what that's about.

Does Swype intend to give tablet-resolution support or is there a work, around? Again, I'm in the beta but cannot use it on my NC.

Thanks!
[Nook Color General] PGibbons999:
bumping to the top
[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
I'm almost positive it isn't possible to get Swype working on the NC.

Also, the screen's touch input skips a lot, which makes Swyping useless. I've tried using Ultra Keyboard multiple times and the tracing feature is almost completely unusable.
[Nook Color General] openallnight:
I have swype working just fine on CM7. i installed it on nightly 12 and its working ever since. You just need the apk and the .so. Some people have got it working w/o the .so but I needed it. no issues with swyping whatsoever. maybe because i use a screen protector but not sure.
[Nook Color General] RoboRay:
Mine doesn't skip. Ultra Keyboard's tracing works pretty good for me, but not nearly as well as Swype on my phone. I'd try to get Swype on my NC, but don't want to give up the arrow keys.
[Nook Color General] PGibbons999:
Where does one get these files? Is the apk the file I got when I joined beta?
[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
Interesting. Are you using a screen protector too? I hope my NC isn't defective :eek:

Which files?

I downloaded the Swype installer but all I get is "unsupported device" when it tries to login.
[Nook Color General] Eddog4DROID:
So its just a matter of copying the actual two files using Root Explorer not using the auto-installation method? Right?
[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
I backed up Swype.apk from my Nexus One using Appmonster (obtained from the official Swype beta, which I am legitimately a part of).

- I installed that apk on my NC.

- Moved com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk from /data/app => /system/app

- Changed the permissions like so:

x x x

x x

x

- Rebooted

And it FC's instantaneously, before even showing the keyboard at all.

I googled "Swype on gtablet" and got the libSwypeCore.so and put it in system/lib. (My N1 doesn't have the lib file.) It still FC's.

So I uninstalled my Swype from my Nexus One (from the official beta). However, now I'm trying to install the Swype.apk from the gtablet zip file, and it just says "Swype not installed". It won't install, even with my Swype uninstalled and deleted, and the libSwypeCore deleted as well.

What gives?

What am I doing wrong?
[Nook Color General] RoboRay:
Nope, no screen protector yet.

Paint Joy also yields solid, unbroken lines when drawing on my NC, but I've seen reports of others that get broken, dashed lines on the screen.

:confused:
[Nook Color General] eyecrispy:
Swype works great for me on CM7, v14. Someone here sent me the apk and i just installed via adb.
[Nook Color General] BroDroid:
I've rooted my NC, and changed the build.prop fingerprint line to mirror that of a Galaxy tab. With doing that I could download the beta version of Swype, however once installed, it doesn't actually swype. I can tap the letters only. any ideas?

NC rooted with HC ver2
[Nook Color General] Chinpokomon:
We've updated the Swype beta to include this screen resolution. If you want to use this on Stock, I believe you'll have to go through the other tricks documented for changing the keyboard. For custom ROMs like CM7, you shouldn't have any difficulties.
[Nook Color General] barrist:
I have it installed on cm7. had some fc's but it opens now. however, the swyping isn't working. it traces the path but nothing appears. hitting individual letters however works. running cm7
[Nook Color General] dizx:
Just a hunch. Try clearing dalvik-cache in Recovery.

I got this official response over the Swype forums:

http://forum.swype.com/showthread.php?2905-Nook-Color-and-March-Update&p=14369#post14369

Even though I'm running CM7, it's not going to be able to license without an IMEI, which the Nook doesn't have. So.......that.
[Nook Color General] RoboRay:
I guess they don't want to ever sell a copy to anyone using an NC, letting the pirates win again... if they ever end their beta and release the product. Hasn't it been in beta over a year, and still works pretty much exactly the same way it did last year?
[Nook Color General] PGibbons999:
I'm in beta and this is pissing me off. Is there a work around someone can teach me?
[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
Uh.. Did you even read this thread? :confused:
[Nook Color General] clak84:
I've been wondering about this since I got my NC, but figured it would either not work or would require some workarounds. I might give it a try still, but is there any other keyboard any of you recommend for tablets?
[Nook Color General] Chinpokomon:
I did... I work(ed) for Swype, so I was responding in that capacity. I believe the licensing may be a problem on the NC. My best advice would be to go to the Swype Forums and make it known there. I read through the XDA Forums nearly daily because I have my own NC, but the folks that will be able to fix it don't.
[Nook Color General] openallnight:
Please PM if interested for swype apk and .so. This is an older version (with no voice) but last time I checked Mic doesn't work on nook yet :)

Push apk into /system/app

.so into system/lib

Haven't had any permission issues yet.

I am on CM7 RC2 and have been using this since N8 i think. Not sure if this works on other distributions.

thanks
[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
What version are you using? (Version is located at the bottom of Swype Settings)
[Nook Color General] danger-rat:
Thanks man! Works great!!

Paul, version is 2.6.48.12226
[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
Woohoo!!! Swype on Nook Color! My Nook Color is FINALLY complete! :D

Note: For anyone attempting this via Root Explorer, you need to do some additional steps. I could not get Swype to appear in the Input Method selector until I did a few extra things:

A) Via Root Explorer, move the files into the two appropriate locations.

B) Change permissions to match the other files in the locations (rw-r--r for both I believe).

C) Launch Swype.apk via Root Explorer to install it.

D) Reboot

After that, Swype finally showed up for me in the Input Method selector.

I have to wonder though, what is different from this version that it works straight away as opposed to the newest version that has high-resolution tablet support?

Anyway, happy Swyping! Thanks!
[Nook Color General] ckuffo:
Thank You!! It Works!
[Nook Color General] ADude:
The Android Keyboard for 2.3 gives suggestions from history.

For example, if I am composing an email, just the first two characters will give me a list of emails, some rather long that would take awhile even for Swype.

Is there some way to get the Swype keyboard to do the same suggestions ?
[Nook Color General] terrypearson:
Swype Keyboard

Can you explain what the "so" file is? Could I pull this off another one of my android devices that uses swype beta? Thanks!
[Nook Color General] Marurban:
I can do working versions for NOOK and others tablets with 1024x600 resolution. But will be formatted as in normal Swype (arrangement of keys) and first with my GingerBread Skin.

Unfortunately, this requires a lot of work because I need to remake skin. My country is a bunch of thieves and ingrates, who can not even thank you so I have stopped doing anything for free.
[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
It's a library file that Swype uses, "libSwypeCore.so".

Although, it appears to be tablet only, as my Nexus One with the Swype Beta doesn't have this file. Unless you have a Galaxy Tab, I don't think you'll be able to pull it off one of your devices.

And unfortunately, as openallnight found out, due to IMEI checks within the latest beta, it seems there's no way to get the latest version working on the NC :(
[Nook Color General] ADude:
In another thread on CM7 for Nook, several people mentioned that "SlideIt" was similar but worked better.

swype not swyping

Hey yall, is this thread still alive?

Just installed swype (files from .rar) moved to the right locations. used terminal to edit the permissions .

I was able to change keyboad to swype and it loads up, but it seems that it dosent have any words in "cache"

as I swype them, it traces over the right letters but, nothing appears.

Also, Is there a way to make it a bit smaller, seems that the keys a huge, I mean, it's not a deal-breaker, I just would like that astronauts couldn't read the letters I'm typing from the space station.

Any ideas?

Hi guys.

I have been searching and searching with no luck.

I am using a hd2 dual booting between wp7 and android.

Android is giving me hassles - sound ( robotic ), phone etc. So I want to change the radio. I am using magldr 1.13.

When I put the phone into bootloader ( vol down - power key ) and go through the RUU until when it says, ...................0%. It just hangs there.

Please help or any suggestions.

Thanks:confused:
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Try another USB port, maybe the drivers for the port you are using are not correct or have been corrupted. If you still get the same results try another computer. If neither of those two this.vs work try a different USB cable. Your problem has to be one of these as you have all the required elements such as HSPL and working bootloader on your HD2.
[HD2 General] nizaamh:
Hi thanks for responding.

I have tried two computors , two diff. USB cables.Diff. ports with no luck.

The wp7 rom works perfectly but not the android rom. Could this just be a buggy android rom.But bootloader should be fine anyways.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Well it is not so much a buggy Andriod build. The robot voice thing is a common problem with Sd card Andriod builds. Flashing to a different radio does find this problem a good bit and aloto sometimes if you get some one to call you and you answer and then emidiatly hang up it will fix the problem until you turn turn the Pbone off and then reboot Andriod.

As far as your problem with not being able to flash a different radio. If you have a T-Mobile HD2 make sure the radio version has a 50 in the same spot as this one 2.15.50.14. this means the radio is compatible with the TMOUS HD2. Do not use any radio version with these numbers in them 2.04.50.xx or 2.05.50.xx or any 2.xx.51.xx for any of these will brick a TMOUS HD2.

Also if you have tried different ports, computers, and USB cables I sugest you either redownload the radio version you are trying to flash as it might be a bad download or just find another radio version to try or maybe even a different place to download the radio version you are trying to flash. Make sure you manualy put hour Pbone in bootloader and when you plug the USB cable in make sure it says USB in the white bar at tbe bottom of the screen of bootloader. Bootloader will time out for mutie reasons and will not allow a flash until you turn it off and put it in bootloader again.

Sorry about the long period between post I was on my way to work this morning when I posted, just got off work not to long ago.
[HD2 General] Tachi91:
or copy the radios .nbh file to the sdcars, rename it leoimg.nbh go into the bootloader and it should see the leoimg.nbh and flash it

make sure its a compatible radio
