I am coming accross keyboard issues on the s720 i just picked up a few days ago. At first I thought it was the 3rd party app I was trying to install (MinduIM). Basically, it installs fine, but once you try to use the app, you find out any key that has a number associated to it when FN key is enabled, will not work. For example R, D, C, etc on the slider keyboard. I then tried to install 3 more apps and came accross the same issues.
I heard there was a fix for another HTC model, but when I tried that on mine, it just locked it up and would not start the phone anymore. Thank god I was able to remove it.
Anyone come accross this issue or know a fix?
Sounds to me like a problem with the Keyboard driver, like I had with my qwertz and caps, but I don't know where you could get a new version. Maybe (it's just another radio right?) you should try the MoDaCo cab for new et9 it was a newer version of the driver, but it could also lock it again. Look in the thread of the New Guava ROM, in the first post he put in a link to it!
EDIT:
Here you go: http://ostiedbrosse.free.fr/Xda-Dev/MoDaCo_Vox_eT9_Language_Pack.cab
can this hack work with wm pro devices also?
Discalimer: While this has worked for me and many others, it may not work for you so be careful and remember to always back up your data.
Well after much searching for instructions on how to install Swype and get it working without the various errors and crashing i have decided to write up this little tutorial... 'Why do we need a tutorial?' you ask. well since my first attempt at installing Swype i have gone thorugh 2 hard resets and a new Rom.
I have also found a 'fixed' cab, after attempting to use a cab rip from the tmous version and screwing over my phone.
Some of these swype cabs are a bit buggy and can cause temporary errors in your registry that screw-up anything that is encrypted, this includes saved passwords for applications and more importantly the windows unlock password.
This may not happen in your installation but it's better to be safe than sorry and can be enabled after we have finished installing.
So before we even begin installation navigate your way to Settings > Security > Phone lock and then untick the box that says 'Prompt if phone unused for...'
Download the fixed-Swype cab if you have not done so already, i have to say thanks to whoever it was that made this, and is available here on xda-forums.
Cab:
Fixed-Swype-HTCBlackBird-3.9.10.10.5032.CAB
(No i will not put the fileup for public download, just search for it).
connect your HD2 to your computer and copy the cab over to the device into which ever folder you like.
now pick-up your phone and using your prefered file explorer navigate to the directory you just placed the cab in and open it.
During install you MUST make sure that you select to install the software to your 'Device' and NOT to the storage card.
Once the installation is complete your phone will prompt for a restart, select cancel and return to your file explorer.
Now navigate to the internal memory and then to the Windows directory in here will be a new folder named Swype, select it and then from the menu select copy.
Now go up out of the Windows directory but remaining in the internal storage navigate to Program Files.
Inside the Program Files directory paste the Swype folder.
Now perform a soft reset and swype should now be succesfully installed, to test swype open a blank message or word document, when the standard keyboard opens, click the small arrow next to the keyboard icon on the menu bar and select Swype.
Enjoy.
Great write up. Must admit i had many problems installing the v3.9 and had to hard reset to fix it. Your last steps about cancelling the restart and copying the folder is what is different.
Must admit though, i just installed the v2.0 from the Omnia and found it typed faster (this is compared to when i did have v3.9 working). Also with 3.9 the number selection when holding down a certain key hardly ever worked, works all the time with 2.0 so i just stuck with that. With a skin it looks not bad either even though 3.9 does have the better appearance etc.
may it also work for my touch pro 2 ?
Thanks in advance
There is actually a new version of Swype floating around... installing it seems to be pretty easy. And the bugs of the version which is mentioned above are solved, too. Just google for "IME_Swype_3_19_20_20_6343_0.cab" and you will find it.

I wouldn't like to say as i only have tried this on the HD2, but as long as you back-up and are prepared to re-enter all your passwords you could always try.

thanks for the info i may have to check it out if i get a chance.
There are actually 4 versions of swype floating around for use on the HD2.
The Omnia II version: works well but keys are small and just looks too plain.
The fixxed 3.9.10.10.5032 blackbird edition: Ripped from TMOUS. Much more pleasing to the eye. Long presses do not always work. (ex: holding for numbers). It changes your phone ID to T-Mobile_Leo. This it what locks you out of your phone if you have it passworded and causes you to hard reset. Disable password before installing. It also destroys settings for email and router pass keys. It also deletes passwords for installed applications like Resco and SPB. Also had to run through internet connection setup again. And who knows what else.
Another version of 3.9.10.10.5032 by LordYuz: This has been fixxed to not change your phone ID. Won't destroy your passwords or lock you out of your phone. Long presses still do not work well.
IME_Swype_3_19_20_20_6343_0: Also ripped from new TMOUS HD2. Again this version changes your phone ID and will cause damage as stated above. Not sure if long presses are fixxed with this version or not. Hoping LordYuz gets his hands on this version and fixxes it too.

I was of the same opinion but maybe its in my head but im sure it works better. It just seems to respond quicker, flow a bit better.
I also installed the Lessro skin, looks much better, better than the stock 3.9 in my opinion, dont even notice the keys appearing smaller and at the end of the day its a straight install, no special instructions required at all and the long key presses actually work so its practicality vs appearance..........i know what i prefer..............thats until of course they actually release a proper fully working 3.9 with all features working properly.

Refer to my post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=684198&page=2 post #12
whilst v2.0 (omnia version) is floating around everywhere (google easily finds it), this is the newer released v3.9 by LordYuz which fixes the previous 3.9. works great. It is larger to install but go into the swype folder in the Windows directory, del the tutorial, its almost 10mb alone to save space
I used almost all of them including the fixed version ended up hard reseting twice,until I came across swype V.2 which I am enjoying it now a lot.
I have version 6343 with the Eleganicia ROM on WM 6.5.5 base. It works perfectly with long press, but the allignment is off due to the bigger taskbar. Any ideas on how to adjust it?

You probably used this version 3.9.10.10.5032.
Are you sure you tried the newest being Swype 3.19.20.20.6343.
Im using this no problem in terms of changing the phone ID, passwords etc and others have commented the same.
anyone has an ideea how to have romanian language?
So far, Swype is only 5 languages... to implement any other is not an easy job. Hopefully Swype will officially make an offer soon, with more languages. I think many people would buy it if the price is reasonable.

The omnia version does not lag when using htc messaging's conversation mode (with +50 message in a conversation). I installed the new stock ROM and this new swype version fixes the long press key problem, but it still lags pretty bad. My first question is, how do you check the swype version on the HD2? Secondly, does the newest swype version fix the lag problem?

Agreed, when i used to use the 2.0 (omnia version), it was simple and fast, just didnt look as good without a skin and the keys were a bit smaller.
Although in saying that, i have just flashed with a new aftermarket ROM which has the omnia swype already cooked in, v2.0 and it runs sweet.
Few days prior when i ran the latest swype i didnt have any lag on a stock 1.48 rom not sure why you got a lag problem. I also have hundreds of sms's but it worked good for me, i liked the new version as it just seemed built for our phones, larger keys, sound and vibration feedback, long key presses and even deleting words holding the backspace key down erased words etc. Overall very nice.
To check swype version, go to settings, personal, input and when you select swype, there is an about button top left. tells you there.
I have 4 questions...basically how to reset swype and how to guess which version is running.
QUESTIONS:
1.
how can I know which swype version i am running? from which menu? or settings or where?
2. How to install a dictionary, for example ITALIAN Dictionary? (I have the Italian cab, but installation does not work)
I have two HD. The old one HTC-HD2, NOT T-mobile (running an old 6.5.3 cooked rom) has a modified swype in which sometimes (50% of times) long pressing does NOT result in a number to be typed. But it has ITALIAN language.
My new HD2 t-mobile has probably a omnia version (smaller keys) and long press ALWAYS work. Unfortunately it only has only ENG and SPANISH dictionaries, NOT ITALIAN. I have tried to install Italian cab (following a thread here) but it is NOT recognized as a legitimate dictionary.
3.
How to reset swype? In fact after 3 or more months, the OLD HD2 has this problem: I have accidentally hit od and i3 and press space. these 2 mistyped words are now part of the ENGLISH dictionary, right? then what happens, every time i type OF I get OD (as default choice) and same for IF: I get i3...so I wish to reset the internal dictionary. How to do it?
4.
The NON-omnia swype, in the 3rd screen (click 123-SYM key 3 times), has an option "SELECT ALL", The Ommia-version of swype does NOT have this option. Is there a way to add in omnia-version of swype?
5.
The english dict has this word TYPO. Each time I swype TO the system ALWAYS enter TYPO...how to correct this behaviour? I wish to eliminate TYPO from dictionary. there are instructions on how to do. but these instructions do not work...
Thanks and waiting
Saulo
I have tried to turn back to defaults, under options, but no improvements...if someone knows how to reset to original settings, I would really appreciate...
Thanks
Saulo
Hello,
Since switching to Android from WinMo I was so badly missing a decent dialer, that I made my own. It enables dialing and fast search through contacts by number or name, and enables search in two different alphabets:
Latin (supports all european latin-based languages) and
One of the following: Greek, Hebrew, Arabic or Cyrillic (Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Belarusian, Serbian and Macedonian) currently implemented.
For Android 1.5 and above
I'd appreciate to hear your feedback.
Latest version: 3.5.1 (3.1.2 for Android 1.5)
Android Market address: https://market.android.com/details?id=eir.dialer3
If you want to contribute to the translations, you are welcome: http://www.getlocalization.com/eir_fast_dialer/
Full change log, user manual etc. available here: [URL="http://eir3.com]http://eir3.com[/URL]
Looks nice. Does this have any advantages over Dailer One (info here http://www.appbrain.com/app/kz.mek.DialerOne)? They seem pretty similar.

Very nice. It looks like the Sense dialer. Thanks
Just installed it, crashed when I hit the number 4.

You can search for contacts by name using two different alphabets at the same time. So if you have contacts written in, for example, both Latin and Cyrillic letters, as I do, this comes quite handy, not to say essential. I wasn't able to find another dialer that does this, please let me know if you know of one.
c00ller said:

Above is the first advantage over Dialer One. The second, which is for me also crucial, is that it runs on 1.6 devices, while Dialer One requires Android 2.1.
Third would be, that Dialer One doesn't seem to handle properly some Latin letters, for example German umlauts - as far as I tested, it wasn't able to find, for example Andreas Köpke by pressing 56. Maybe it's a language setting, but still, if it cannot search using umlauts unless your language is set to German, that is a disadvantage. Fast Dialer searches using an extended set of Latin characters, covering all Latin-based European languages, regardless of what language settings you have.

I would like to examine this. Could you please tell me at least the device you ran it on, what Android version etc. From your signature I assume HTC Droid Eris, which runs Android 2.1?
Don't like the "trial" in the name of attachement. Why it's there? You didn't explained in OP.
1. FC on i5700 spica
2. trial version, and nothing about it...
Force close after touch first digit.
If it's trial, then it is obvious, that you are making paid app. LOL, make working app first, then try to squeeze money out of it xD.

True.
It's a backwards-compatibility issue. I thought the AVDs did emulate behaviour of an actual device... I'll fix that.
The app does work on 1.6 for anyone willing to try.
Thanks.
Actually I did try it on official 1.6 for my country (my signature is a little bit out of date).
Oh, a new version - 1.1. I'll try it, however now my phone is on CM6, so I can't try it on Donut .

Thanks a lot!
I uploaded two new files: 1.6 and 2.1 for the Donut and Eclair/Froyo.
Until I figure out if (and how) it would be possible to build once for both targets.
Let me know how you find the app. That is my main dialer, and for myself, it does the job.
Is it possible to make it so it works on Android 1.5? Old, I know, but my friend uses a Motorola Cliq XT and is stuck on 1.5 for a while until Moto gets their act together
It's not a bad start with this app. But this isn't really a trial but rather a demo with limited functionality. You can't dial a # containing "7" as the app advises you to purchase full version. Posted version is basically unusable. So why posting it in this forum where people are normaly helping each other or sharing things with no commercial intentions? Wrong place for advertising.
On a different note: check out Dialer One and AContacts. These are wonderful apps with a lot of thought and effort put into them.They are free as well. Fair enough, your app has got a unique function (one) but other than that its functionality can't be even compared to that of AContacts or Dialer One. Whole 3 options in settings menu?

I won't be able to do that. It compiles and installs on an 1.5 AVD, but there are some problems with the view generation which I won't have the time to look into.

Yes, Dialer One and AContacts are much richer apps. Unfortunately, they lack this small functionality, which I need very much.
And I have a 1.6 phone.
In my opinion, having only 3 options in the menu is an advantage. Best would be zero options.
I was hoping to receive feedback, rather than advertise. And I did, for which I'm grateful. I made this app because I needed it, not because I intended to make a fortune out of it. That's why I find it valuable, and perhaps other people will find it too, and would spare a coin on it, as I would have, had there been such an app available several days ago.
BTW, the files are updated.
does it support Arabic
OK, now app do not FC while pressing a digit (CM6). I really like it, basic, light T9 dialer for Android. It's good, that it has only 3 options. I mean - what to set up in app like that? It has do to a specified task and it's doing it right.
However, two issues was bugging me:
1. I don't like the way contacts number is aligned, it simply do not look good when name is aligned to right, and a number is aligned to right. I think both aligned to right would look better.
2. App isn't so... quick. I mean, try SuperDial (also runs on 1.6, but it is an ugly app). It is instantious, you press a key and there is response, the contacts are showing up. In you application you have to wait a bit of second.
I see potential. There is no that good looking T9 dial app on Android 1.6. DialerOne is fantastic, but it won't run on G1, X10, X10 Mini, LG GT540 etc. Please, do not set the price too high ($0.99 is max IMO).

I took your advice and changed the alignment of the name.
I also did some optimizations, and the app runs even faster. I didn't figure out how I can measure the startup time of SuperDial, but according to the ActivityManager log, if that is a valid parameter to reference, Fast Dialer is faster than SuperDial. Cold start of SuperDial takes ~500ms, while of Fast Dialer ~430ms. Once in memory, SuperDial takes ~300ms to show up, and Fast Dialer ~180ms.
BTW, good that you mentioned it SuperDial is a nice app, I think it has some very clever decisions, like initially showing the log of calls instead of the contacts, but also some less clever decisions - like no possibility to directly (with one click) call a contact once you found it. The developers say, on their site, that the app is not polished, which is obviously true, since it also has some not-so-minor flaws (like failing to load a newly entered contact), which Fast Dialer handles just fine.
The updated Fast Dialer apk is in the initial message of this thread.

From Gizmodo
Swype has been my favorite way to type on an Android phone, but it's been kinda limited in what phones can run the keyboard software. Until now! All you have to do is register at Swype and download.
From Swype's website.,,
Beginning on December 20th, we'll be opening the beta for a limited time.
Head over to http://beta.swype.com to register and join the fun!
From what people are saying you get the download immediately...
Swype came with the Samsung Captivate (not sure about other Galaxy S phones, but thinking yes)
It's installed as a system app. - What would happen if I wanted to try and update it?
I've read that your suppose to back up your current Swype files and then uninstall it and then install the beta but I couldn't tell you what files to back up
is it for all droids?
this is legit! finally a legit version!
Hmmh, which one is better, Swype or SlideIT? There's a bunch of Youtube videos of both of these, and all the SlideIT-users claim it to be more useful than Swype... can't deside
I got my version instantly it works great. Seriously is better than typing just have to get used to it, it is a little tricky at first, do it, it's worth it and even with out you can still type normal. The beta is working perfect check the screenshots I took

I personally keep going back to Shapewriter but I think eventually I'll move to Swype because Swype continues to develope it. Shapewriter was bought by Nuance and then nothing since the buyout.. Sad.. because I thought Shapewriter was more accurate. SlideIt is good too. I think a person has to try all 3 and then decide. A swyping keyboard is definitely the way to go for me..
How do you get the micro/mini install option? I have reinstalled using the installer but the option is not presented. Do I need to uninstall swype and the installer? A 2.5MB install would be so much better than the 10MB install.
Thanks
Good Day Everyone,
I have been searching the forums for a few days and installed a number of apk's all of which don't seem to work.
There seems to be so many posts on Chinese tablets and getting Android Market to work. And a number of work arounds that I have tried have so far been unsuccessful. Many of us have bought the WM8650 models (VIA8650,High-performance 800MHZ CPU+300MHZ).
So my question is can't we collaborate as a group who own these tablets to donate an amount (say $10 or $20 each) to the developer that ports an Android version which runs all the Google apps and Market?
That way we won't have to look for workarounds, and those who purchase after us will have a much easier upgrade path.

I have the wm8650 and can't access to the android market, even though there is an icon for it. I get an error that says, "Authentication error. Please check your account/password". Have you figured out the problem yet?

Hi guytimes.
The Android Market apk that I loaded won't open, however it seems the pre-loaded Market app on the device only shows applications from China(did not return any results when I searched for Angry Birds). The icons look similar but I'm not sure if the pre-loaded app goes to the Official Android Market place.(If someone knows, please could you correct me?).
In the interim, to at least to get some apps loaded, I managed to get the application from Slideme ( an Android application website) which works well. It does not have all the apps on the official Market but it will let you download and install. I am still trying to find a way to get the Google apps and Market place working or to Port a different ROM to this type of device.

Wow, that stinks. I had no idea the marketplace was blocked on these devices. Please let me know if you find a real work around and I'll do the same.
Hi everyone,
I too opt-in for a possible collaboration.
I'm still waiting my baby to arrive.
Thanks
Thank you boshkop,
Let's hope we can get enough people to agree. And then a technical person to port Android for us.
By the way I found another nice app market at Androidpit
What do you mean by "porting the Android"?! The device already runs Android 2.2!! Am I missing something here?

As far as I understood, he meant that Android market doesn't work and no apps can be installed even via .APK files, am I correct?
I just found a possible solution for the AndroidMarket (using the application Applanet).
Check here (the last post):
androidpit.com/en/android/forum/thread/420722/Table-7-wm8650-VIA-926-REVIEW
I have this tablet and I can tell you, it run 90% of the apk aplications
No need to have an android market. You can install the applanet market and get all free without registration and any complicated steps.
Now the only thing I'm searching is to know how to root the tablet.
I can access all the system files directly and edit any archive but need some special permisions.
Hopefully soon we can find soemthing for this awesome tablet.

Hi everyone, I will have a ROM posted for the Eken m009s with the via 8650 cpu within the next few days, so far I removed the chinese apk's, a different lockscreen (froyo default), and launcher pro as the default home screen, also, Slide Me marketplace works perfectly on this, and Applanet does as well, the market I tried also fails to open.

Unfortunately there are at least 3-4 models with same tech specs.
The only difference is their LED color or if they vibrate on startup or not...
So far, the only way with the custom ROMs for these tablets is trial-and-error.
I tried on last night and it is stuck on a loading screen tried the install again and nothing... mine has green led and does vibrate on startup
