Road SMS KB App on Galaxy S
saw it too, pretty sweet im def interested
Now thats an Interesting feature....
In for this.
That is brilliant.
That is sweet!!!
guessing its just goinna be an apk, direct install, but you never know..
that is sweet, we will have it before you know it. it will just be an apk I assume
Better yet, can we get it as a live wallpaper?
that app is cool. such a simple yet brilliant idea.
I like and wouldn't mind having it on our phone. BUT, when I text, I don't hold my phone in front of me. I usually have it down a bit lol. None the less I wouldn't mind seeing it on our phone
is ther ea keyboard like that in the market with just clear buttons, I would love to have that.

Yes. Yes it is. My camera i by far the biggest drain on the battery (obviously only when it is used).

You'd have to get a second battery just to get through the day.
Pretty [email protected] cool feature if you ask me.
Hopefully this will reduce the number of wrecks-while-texting, but then again I think to myself; "How many people will actually own this phone AND use this feature"

I think its meant to be used while driving so you can hold the phone up and still keep an eye on the road. Thats the only time that I'd ever use it. I dont text and drive often....but it sure would be helpful those times that I do it.
I'd be safer if I just called them though, LOL

Samsung clarified that it is for pedestrians. Could you imagine the **** storm if they were encouraging driving and texting in any way?
Awesome!
Wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of some jerk that hit my car because he thought he could see the road in front of him using the Road SMS app lol
Unfortunately something tells me that what was once thought to be a good idea on Samsung's part, will eventually lead to lawsuits because of ignorant people
Today on Amazon it's free
I'm not sure if the pulled .apk would be considered warez, but since it is free for now...And not everyone lives in the US

Found swiftkey x on 4shared
DL'd it. don't know... didn't really see anything that impressed me all that much.
maybe I'm missing something. guess I have to play with it a bit more.
so far, still prefer swype.
but, it's free and I guess it's good to have the extra option for whatever reason.
can't go wrong with too many keyboard apps right?
Swype all day for me personally, especially since Swype 3 came out with qHD support
SwiftKey is genius. Easily the best keyboard available.
Sent from my brain
i like it, swype wasnt bad but i never got it on my sensation and i feel like i spent as much time swyping as deleting words. swift predicts very well, only problem i have is i hit the return buttton i think on occasion and make the keyboard go away
I already purchased, but my wife just got it for her g2x thanks...
Installed it just fine, and set it as the default, but I'm still getting the HTC keyboard.
Must be something simple, but not seeing it...

Phone currently drying out from a wet screen protector install, but I'll try it as soon as it's back up.
Thanks.
How can I disable it, Every time I unlock the phone with the lock ring pull up, the entire screen spins around meaning I have to wait a second before being able to do anything. I have disabled animation but can't find anything anywhere about it !!!!!!!!
I don't think you can.
That's what I am thinking, might have to lock the phone whilst off the carousel, as that's the only time it doesn't spin around.
Choose another launcher ( I use ADW EX, the paid version is snappy and neato!) and then use Titanium Backup to freeze Sense. Whammo!
Matt
I have never ventured onto a different launcher, waiting to catch up with a friend who swears by launchers. Will take things from there. But would be nice to disable this spinning....

Its pretty simple to do...Go to the market, DL ADW EX (paid version is a few bucks and well worth it). Set it as your default (it will ask you when you try to return to the homescreen. If you are rooted and have Titanium, look for Sense and freeze it. DONT remove it!
If you have decided to do that, post back and I will tell you how to set up ADW ex for speed.

This phone is awesome. I have yet to see any posts showing interest in their phone, beyond changing ROMs like its a disease.
I recently found out I can use 'Six-Axis controller' to connect a ps3 controller to my phone and effectively have a portable n64 console with me. All I need to do now is find a Conker's Bad Fur Day or Banjo-Kazooie ROM.
I recently found out about LCD density changing and messed around with it a lot. 180 makes our Skyrocket look sexy. (But now I'm experiencing market compatibility issues so I need to look more into it).
I like organization, so SD-Maid was a nice find and I'm going to learn Titanium Backup to increase my battery life. Just need to find a freeze list.
I found the site My ColorScreen so theming will be a task soon undertaken, as soon as the necessities are figured out.
So come on, share some cool things about your phone. Whether it's a cool Llama task you made, new homescreen setup, an app you think people should know about, a ROM you like (AOKP + CM9, thank you guys), or an important tip you should know (I didn't know Titanium Backup could restore my folder settings in Nova Launcher, that would have saved time).
Be a little positive guys.
Why is it that an incorrect, naive post about an OTA update for Skyrocket can get two pages instantly full of people *****ing about how useless the thread is (then don't reply to it smartass).
While a thread with the capacity to help people find some cool things about their phone gets nothing.
I hear the app "LCD Density Modder Pro" can fix the market compatibility issues. It's a paid app though.
Any more info on the six-axis controller and how to use the phone as a "portable n64"? That sounds interesting!
Edit: Ah, a little bit of googling answered my question about that six-axis controller.. didn't realize it was an app. Makes sense now. Which N64 emulator do you use?
I don't root my phone but I love it to death! I also agree that negative posts get more responses than US news media stories.
That being said I love that flipboard app and I'm going to be buying a new Samsung LED TV. I've heard that we can turn our phones into remote controls for the actual TV, if not yet its on the horizon.
I also use mine for web browsing mostly and I'm looking for a cool app like MATLAB based or something that has Physics and Calculus formulas all over. I hope this thread gets going. Mad thanks to the OP. This is the first thanks I've used.

I currently have a Samsung TV, and it's true that we can use our phone as a remote control, as long as your TV has wifi and you connect your phone to the same network. You'll just need the app conveniently named "Samsung Remote" lol. It's free in the market. Works for their blu-ray players too I think.

Mupen64AE, pulled for free from the developers site here. You just run sixaxis and start the emulator, then map the buttons (less than 10 seconds) and you're good to go. Emulators were always a cool idea to me but they didn't translate well for certain games, but honestly with the analog sticks and actual triggers its a perfect experience.

I was considering it, but I found a modded play store apk in our themes and apps section. It seems to be working so far. I've also heard of other ROMs that have 'per app dpi'. Which would be awesome.

Thank you! Now I have a mini project for tomorrow. I've never frozen an app before but I assume it's relatively straightforward.
You bumped your own thread because no one else would. You could have at least contributed the process of how to use the ps3 controller with the phone.

HOW TO DEBLOAT YOUR VERY OWN CAR APP
By Mitch Chaiet
Hello xda-developers!
Welcome to my first guide after switching over to the One X. All new username on the forums, all new phone... life is good right now.
I absolutely love this phone.I was pleasantly surprised by all the features on this phone, coming from my beloved Captivate. With such a gorgeous screen, I figured "Hey.... this would be great in my car!" As soon as I walked out of the At&t store, I popped my new baby into my car dock, turned up my woofers, and hit the car app....
Where I was greeted to this.
There, in the bottom right hand corner, was some ********* I wasn't used to seeing. Bloatware.
View attachment 1190561
I was NOT going to take this.
It is hard to imagine how pissed off I was. Beautiful white polycarbonate, bonded magically with the sweet curves of hardened glass.... all of this ruined by the ugly sight of TuneIn Radio popping up where it really shouldn't be. The frustration must be endless worldwide, as owner upon new owner realize that their carrier has setup some shoddy deal to add an app into the stock firmware of every single new phone they carry.
Today, friends, the frustration ends here.
Here is how to remove the ugly TuneIn Radio shortcut from the Car app and replace it with a nice, uniform Settings icon.
Navigate to 'Settings' > Scroll down and hit 'Apps' > Tap the 'All' tab
Scroll down until you find that pesky TuneIn Radio entry.
View attachment 1190562
Tap on it. You should arrive at the following screen.
View attachment 1190563
Now for the fun part! Click 'Disable' > Tap 'OK' to disable the app
Congratulations. You have successfully, as of now, debloated your car app. That's all that you had to do, but I doubt you'll be getting any awards from anyone just from following such a well laid out guide. You wanna cookie or something?
Open up your car app and see the result.

Happy modding! Written by Mitch Chaiet. Click thanks if one of my posts helped!
Man, I want that minute of my life back. Anyone who's uninstalled TuneIn (thank you TiBU) has the settings button already. But it's a good writeup for those who won't uninstall.
I was hoping to learn not just how to remove but replace the TuneIn with like, Google Play music or something. Anyone know how this can be done?

Lucky for you. I'm in the process off figuring that out. Gimme a day or two because I'm interviewing for my first job today!!
Already figured this one out, but good tip for those who didn't know

Or how about replacing the entire music screen with one that Incorporates google music?
Just a constructive criticism (nitpick): you use the term "de-bloat" in the text, but "de-spam" in the title. De-bloat seems like the more correct or appropriate term, so now sure why you have it different in the title. Just a pet peeve of mine, people using the term "spam" for things that are in fact not spam at all.
Thanks for the tip.

Given how uninstalling doesn't change the stability of the Car app, there has to be a pretty simple mod to swap out TuneIn for something else.
I wish I knew enough coding to give it a shot; I'd love to stick Spotify in there.

I personally think Tune in is awesome. I do wish i could use my paid version in the car app. Why do you hate it so much? It lets you listen to any radio staion you want for free. No adds, no commercials, its one of my favorite must have apps. Sound quality is great through bluetooth as well, i play it through my $10,000 Hertz/JL system and it sounds great. What is there not to like about it?

Same here, although in my perfect world, the stock music app would be replaced with Play Music...
I'm working on a mod for the car app that will let you customize the shortcuts, hopefully. It's tricky trying to figure everything out.
