Hey guys, well i was sitting here thinking about how much i could actually use the live wallpapers on my phone. I mean i am tired of using the newer android just to have the far and few features that are in it, to sacrifice SOOOOO much.
Am i alone? or Do you people wanna change this too?
I don't know where to start, i just realized that it hasn't been done, i mean we have ported it so far to the g1, and the run AWESOME when optimized.
Lets work on it people!!
It's not possible.
thats called getting shot down haha
Wow it's called [Think Tank].. you might get flamed for that mistake...
Other than that, this thread is perfect! Keep it up!

Wow thanks for the help there from mr 65 posts.
Think its a good idea but would need to have live wallpapers off of a 1.6 rom, i suspect this is possible with the right lib files etc.Any idea what files the live wallpapers use?
And btw they once said it wasnt possible to fly and whos laughing now
lets do it,
Okay this is not Impossible i'd say, because we do have a working 3d cube live wallpaper running on donut i believe So, id say we could make this work somehow just dont shoot it all down instantly guys.

Wow thanks for proving that posts count != intelligence.
Note: If you have 13337 posts it doesn't mean you've got huge knowledge about Android.

Maybe you should have included a reason as to why you think it's not possible, and you wouldn't have gotten pounced on like that.

Honestly? This is most certainly *possible*, just silly. In my opinion, it makes a LOT more sense to work on fixing everything broken in 2.1 than to port 2.1 stuff back to what is effectively an obsolete version of android.
We're not *that* far off from a fully working version of 2.1 on Dream. In fact, the only thing I'm aware of are the GPU drivers. Maybe we just want to revert some of 2.1 to 1.6 to get those components working.
Has anyone tried to reverse engineer the video drivers from 1.6 and port it to 2.1?

Well we are SUPPOSED to get an official 2.x ROM for the G1, so I don't think anyone's going to jump on that idea :/

Dude, maybe if you had some stature, or a brain even to read the post, i mean you clicked it right? you read the title? I mean, the beginning strictly said think tank, and you, yes Burag, clicked on it to read, meaning you had some sort of interest or hope it had been done, right so why would you say it wasnt possible?
OOhh let me guess .. your one of those D-Bags who gets off on saying "first" in forums huh? Get real clown! If you have input we'd love to hear it. Other than the de-douchery coming out of your mooth, naaah.

I dont know how many of you all knw about this i did a search and no thread came up so im sharing info. Im running the latest damage, and i found this keyboard app in the market called ThickButtons, its easily the best keyboard out there that ive ever used in my opinion. What it does is when youre typing it makes the keys that it assumes you want to click big, like it enlarges the letters so that it makes it easier to type. Also it never lags dudes. I encourage you guys to give thickbuttons a try i fell in love with it. I looked for it in 1.5 but it seems to only be in the newest market. enjoy this info if you care. When you guys try it come let me know if you agree with me.
Awesome, ill look into it.

Yea, I heard about this app months ago. Just never tried it out. You would think after so many versions of Better Keyboard they would make it better and more responsive.
They should call it not better than stock keyboard lmfao

I would never EVER use Swype. I think its garbage.
I tried this and I had more lag and I'm use to the buttons where they are and when this app makes keys bigger I hit the wrong button. My stock keyboard runs with almost no lag.

Holy crap. The lag on this keyboard is horrendous.
I just went into sms and typed "This is a test for the new thick buttons keyboard". I then set the phone down, and 45 seconds later it finished typing it out, and it said "This id w trdt of thw nee tjivk nuttins keubiatd".
I'll try rebooting, maybe that will fix it.

thats insane because it doesnt lag at all for me
wow!! we have a few different thoughts on this kb. But &roid rage is a reliable source so ill have to pass. swype,android and htc kb are all built into my rom so this is no great loss. Personally i dont really use any kb on a phone since i hate them, but if i MUST be tortured, for me its a tie between the swype swype, and the android kb responsiveness

A reboot got rid of the lag a little bit, but I just cant get used to it. Oh well. I'm sure it works great for others, just like I LOVE swype but others dont. To each their own.

Hello,
have you seen BlindType?
http://www.blindtype.com/
*UPDATE*
Guess what! Google bought BlindType (german)
This could end up as an Android only Keyboard now as it was originally planned for Android and iPhone
That is pretty sick!
I am going to go ahead and say that it uses magic to do it. I couldn't imagine the work gone into that prediction algorithm. Wow.
Before anyone else says it ... "How's the battery life?" Lol.
Not like I care though about the battery life. This should be pretty interesting when it comes out.
I also find it really awesome
I hope it's getting released with german.. not english only :|
I think I know how this works, I think it uses your key presses as points in a path, similar to how swype uses direction changes, looks very clever!

And it scales and rotates until it finds the best match, you can type as if the keyboard is diagonal and half the size. That's what I think is the crazy part, and the fact it can do it so fast means their recognition algorithms are very impressive.
this is sick!! i cant wait for it to come out.
Not gonna lie.
That made my day.
I can't wait until it comes out.
Holly Crap! Thats crazy!
Similar to swype, but you type instead of swyping. But the rotation and scaling is pretty sick
Hmmm I see what he did there.......AWESOME

It looks like the OP took that from the BlindType tagline on their website..."Touch typing the way it should be. Accuracy not required."

any chance of this happening for our hero's? looks pretty cool to me.
+1 This is way cool... There was a similiar post over in the themes section not long ago. I can't find it now but the OP was trying to find a theme that looked very close to this? Since this is a rom this is the place to ask!
i hope we can make this happen, nokia's have a solid OS.

the processor wouldn't be an issue at all... it's other things like the gpu, touchscreen, buttons, camera, etc. that would make it difficult.

Nah, I'm pretty sure I read once when there were talks about porting FroYo or something to our phone, the only real candidate was the MyTouch Slide because it had the same CPU tables or something as our phone. Without the same CPU tables (w/e it was), the port was a lot more difficult. But yes, if we did get the cpu to work right, the rest would be difficult.
They should Port this two...

100 bucks says thats fake as heck lol something just isnt right, but heres the link to the youtube video, i think its just a theme or i could be wrong, my thing is osx cant even multi task like android why would you want this, its nothing compared to froyo http://youtu.be/IY-uRRCARJw
