Hey guys finally someone has gotten smart enough to make the first multi touch keyboard. It's called Smart Keyboard in the market and its free. It's still in beta and is very buggy and ugly. They keyboard is going in the right direction, maybe someone can build on it and perfect it? Thanks.
Care to share some pictures??

You can see the screenshots in the market. And it doesn't look THAT bad. Basically a white version of the stock keyboard.
Multi-touch seems to help my typing a lot. Even without the auto-correction (which is supposedly going to be added in the Pro version later on), I can type almost perfectly, compared to the many mistakes I make with the stock keyboard.

I agree its definitely a step better than the stock keyboard. One problem is that it doesn't show the letter when you hit it, it's just blank. Cant wait for a pro version or for someone to make a more improved app.
very nice keyboard indeed. the vibrate option doesnt work on my n1. its also missing the voice input but istill like it because it implements multitouch correctly unlike the stupid stock kboard
So I just downloaded app and selected it from language & keyboard settings but I still end up with the stock KB. Any ideas on how to switch it?

Hold down on a text box and it should say "Input method". Click that and should display the keyboards you have installed/enabled.

Alright fixed the problem thx!
Still needs quite a bit of work. All in all, it sort of reminded me..why exactly do we need a multi-touch keyboard now? Sure ive used the iphone keyboard....but it doesnt make a world of difference if the OS isnt built around the function.
fantastic find. using it to write this response and this is an amazing fix for me. not sure if it is the multitouch or not, but either way i like it
pretty good missing some features but i feel a bit more accurate with it.
Not bad! This has a lot of potential...
ill run it again once the bugs/fixes are worked out

vibrate works fine - just very faint.. it's a light pulse rather than a strong/long vibrate.

You can tell its multi touch if say you hold down the A key and then press the J key it will type the A then the J right after it.
Wish they could add holding Q for number 1 etc like the HTC one!
Only thing I really want.

anysoftkeyboard is pretty good too. much better then stock and lots of options. also was recently updated.
No auto-correction?

Bug: When you receive a call and try to Respond sliding the green icon on the screen, it doesn't follow your finger and it's hard to get it completly to the right. Only if you do it as fast as the light everything works fine.
What where you doing when you got this probelm: Receiving a call
Comments: Not a big problem since we've got physic key, but sliding is better

Slide faster, I know what you mean because of the vibration but just swipe faster it should work like 1 maybe 2 times.
video + camcorder
video and camcorder arent listed under known problems in this thread, so i thought i should mention them. video playback (youtube + other streaming video apps) doesnt work- it will freeze on the first frame and continue playing audio in the background. camcorder just doesnt work.
im sure alot of you are saying "there are no video drivers for 2.1, you dumbass" but based on what i read about the rom before downloading, i was under the assumption that it would be mostly/fully working. camcorder wasnt listed under known issues so i thought i wouldnt have a problem with that either.
im not complaining about the rom, its very good in terms of stability, reliability, speed. but for me, i cant use a rom everyday if i have no video recording or playback. hopefully we'll have the drivers and whatever else we need for those to work soon. thanks and keep up the good work!
Its okay I figured out a way, flash marvins ROM, then download Helix Launcher from market, copy to folder, reflash/ fresh wipe then flash yours, push Helix Launcher then BOOM! It should work right? LOL!

Video playback isnt working, video camera does partially work, but freezes when you stop it then it goes to a Non stop FC's when you try opening camera (only resolve is reboot), YouTube HQ only works atm, we don't know why only the best quality works not the low quality. Just be patient, believe it that this ROM is one of the fastest/updated Eclair ROMS you'll come across.

Oooh look a new thread!
@XxKOLOHExX - last post until break time - there was a suggestion in one of the other 2.1 threads that changing ringtones to .ogg format may make the rom a little more responsive when taking incoming calls. Maybe you could test this for us? Would changing all alarms / ringtones / notifications to .ogg format make the whole rom any more responsive?

It's a slight speed increase... I only use .ogg ringtones so yes i could change up some ringtones and get only .ogg formatted ones

Thanks for putting this out there, any chance we can rev this so that the music and contacts don't force close? I'd like to see this working before I make the switch.
Great start btw, much appreciated.
what does this do? nvm found out its the same as carpanel that comes with the incredible but looks ugly.
No problem i like it cause the buttons are bigger, as far as making the music and stuff work im no dev or anything but im sure a dev could you would hav to have any other files that support. And with the DI being rooted the possibilities are basically endless.

I finally got around to trying this. A huge improvement over the default Incredible Car Panel... Would really like to see the contacts work but the ability to turn on the bluetooth as well as to have something as simple as landscape mode really makes this a winner for me and looks like it was well thought out. I'm tempted to get started in development just to contribute to this app... unfortunately I'm a script kiddie at best. But I will keep my hopes up that someone with skill can delve into this.

It's not overly pretty but it is fast and much more functional. Why did HTC leave out landscape mode??
Ditto, I would really love it if someone can fuzz those two items.
Everything else works like a charm, its so simple and functional
WooHoo - Last.fm button in Car mode
Thanks for posting this. I was getting so frustrated because I disabled the stock Music.apks and couldn't get Settings Profiles to load up either Last.fm or Pandora.
I however, would love to remove the music button as well from this dock. I want to be able to have my last.fm and Pandora buttons and everything else can stay (haven't experienced a force close yet..)
I have it set in Settings Profiles that when I'm on USB charger and headset/aux it activates car mode (no screen timeout) and runs CarDock.apk. Having both those apps on there would be awesome.
How many beers would I have to buy someone to do that..? Or, how hard is it to do that myself..nm, scratch that.
Hey,
I just got my myTouch 4G Slide, and I have a few annoying issues. It could be due to the fact that I bought it in China (it even has some apps with Chinese names).
I don't like the "genius" button - I won't use that, and it doesn't work whatsoever. Is there a way to replace its function with, say, search button (like I had on my previous Android phone)?
Music: firstly, I don't even have a music application - I have to open it with the File Explorer (so I can't multitask). Could be because it's Chinese. The main problem is that the music is played from the speaker in the back of the phone. I like to sometimes listen to music without earphones. Is it possible to play music from the same speaker I use to talk?
When I scroll the applications menu, it "jumps" rather than scrolls smoothly - kinda like the difference between scrolling with the mouse wheel, and hitting "Page Down". Is it also a Chinese issue?
Pictures: so far I'm loving the camera. The only issue is that the pictures it produces are named IMG001, IMG002 and so on. That's really annoying. Is it possible to have the pictures named like on my previous phone, which was simply the time it was taken (yyyy-mm-dd hh-mm-ss)?
Thanks a lot for all helpers!

The music icon in the app drawer is one of the apps hidden by Rosie (Sense Launcher). /system/customize/MNS/default.xml has the hidden app list in it.
I don't know if it's possibly to play music through the front-facing speaker at this time, though there's no reason why it can't be. A fun project for someone.

Yea, that's the way it's supposed to be. I don't like it either. You have to edit the Sense launcher directly to change it.
I just spent all day digging around in a decompiled Rosie.apk (Sense launcher) pulling out Kidzone by it's teeth. I've been fixing that kind of stuff since before the sun came up today, funny you should post those questions.

Dunno about this one. I don't think it's a native option, but don't see why it couldn't be written in after the fact.
Thanks for the reply.
Firstly I think we can be sure all the things I posted in OP are solvable - simply because (I think) Android is a Turing-complete machine
As for the "genius" key, I suppose it requires root etc.? Well I guess I would have to root it sometime
For music, how do I un-hide it, then? It really makes no sense to hide such a basic application!
I hope you'll keep me and the rest of the forum updated with the other stuff mentioned. Best of luck!
Have a nice weekend,
Ron.
Can't you get google music from the market? If not, download a room, pull the apk and install it. And this phone is much much much much better rooted. Thanks six btw, enjoying the rom.

The music icon is in the media room icon, along with video player, slacker radio and a couple other items. It took me a while to find it when I got my phone last month.

You have to... i dunno wut da fuhhh T Mo did with this "OS Overlay?"
So, are there any available solutions to the presented problems (except for the first one)?
In addition, I think that when I firstly got the phone and got a call, I got two circles (accept/reject), which I had to drag to a ring (a bit similar to the lock screen). Now it just gives me the standard accept-reject buttons. I couldn't find anything about it in the settings - what have gone wrong?
I believe the answering screen alters depending on whether your screen was locked, or unlocked, at the moment you received your call. Correct me if I'm wrong...
Anyone knows why they removed the Stocks app? Or it is hidden? If hidden how to enable it?

How did you root it and what did you install in it?
I'm just a bit scared of doing that.
I'm looking for an SMS app that doesn't seem to exist, so I thought I'd post here in case there's a cool project I'm missing or some interesting ideas anyone has to share.
What I'd Like:
An SMS app with the following features:
-Both SMS and MMS work reliably and consistently
-Material Design compliant
-Swipe to return to conversation list
-Quick reply
-Avatar images in the conversations
What I've Tried and Why I'm not a Fan:
-Hangouts: No swipe or quick reply, the workflow/2-tab system in inefficient and ugly
-Textra: Weird font and no avatars in the conversations
-QKSMS: It bugs out on my phone...it thinks I have on-screen buttons (I have capacitive) and it puts a giant bar at the bottom of the screen, but stuff I can't see or interact with goes under that bar.
-Evolve: So much going on, it's so busy and sort of laggy and clunky even on my brand new Droid Turbo.
-Chomp: It keeps yelling at me that it can't find my APN settings even though every other app including Textra made by the same company works fine. Also only partially Materialized. OCD.
_Google Messenger: No quick reply or swipe.
-Go: Too much stuff for my taste
-Verizon Messages: Super ugly.

try YAATA
i think it meets (almost, if not) all the above mentioned :good:
I use YAATA and love it
YAATA would be perfect if it would turn Wi-Fi back on after sending a MMS
Thanks guys, I'll have to check that one out. Just got it installed and I'm playing with all the settings. When I initially opened it the font and pictures were huge and I felt like I was holding a Fisher Price toy but it has a ton of settings it looks like so I'm feeling a lot better now that I've played with a few of them. I figured there was a great app I was missing, so thanks for the help guys!

There's a fix for this in the advanced settings of the app
Someone pointed out the navigation bar fix option to me over in the G+ community for the app, but it didn't work in my case. Nothing changed.
Never heard of qksms before. Absolutely love it. Thanks xda and all members for suggesting approximately 70% of all my installed apps. ?
Indeed...actually QK started working for me again after I rebooted my phone. Not sure why I didn't think of that. I originally found out about that here too, and YAATA is actually really nice also. QK is still prettier, but YAATA seems to have fewer bugs right now.
