Completely FREE version!
Paid version
Difference between Paid and Free version is mainly in the poweruser options.
Paid version mainly adds lotsa poweruser options ;D
1) Remembers up to 9999 undo/redo operations
2) Control over the End-Of-Line characters (Apple, Unix and Windows tend to handle different End-Of-Line differently when doing plain text editing)
3) Allows user to specify buffer size
4) Allows custom fonts and background images
5) Allows user to customize 6 extra Themes in addition to the built-in 3 Themes.
6) Allows toggling of word wrap
7) Continuous Text to Speech.
8) Automatic backup of multiple files to user specified locations on SD card
Free version:
1) Remembers just 1 undo/redo operation, plus 1 reset buffer
2) Defaults to Android EOL handling
4) Fixed 10000 buffer size
5) Custom fonts and backgrounds disabled. You can still paint over the existing 3 themes with a solid color though, just adjust your Opacity bar in your themes dialog.
6) Customization of 3 built in Themes.
7) Always wordwrap
8) Text to Speech reads single paragraphs only.
9) Automatic backup of 1 file to user specified location on SD card
Version 1.71 features:
1) A File List, which works like a Bookshelf/Task_list/Recent_files hybrid management system. So basically, you can use it as a Task list, text bookreader, and text file editor as well.
2) Edit mode with unlimited file size, and tracking system to resume your reading/editing progress.
3) HTML mode! Supports non html files as well.
4) Text to Speech! I'm gonna use it to listening to ebooks when my eyes are tired
5) GoTo, Search, Replace, Cut, Copy, and Paste
6) Multiple Undo and Redo with undo history up to 9999(for the full version). Also comes with a sliding bar to easily rewind and fast forward the changes you made.
7) Themes! Customizable display; you can specify your own background images, custom fonts, background and font colors, line spacing, indents etc.
8) Landscape mode
9) EditText view with inertia scrolling, and yet no irritating problems of the view rectangle not being called to show your cursor, nor the rectangle jumping all over the place when you try to place your cursor far away.
10) Toggleable word wrap and autocapitalization (if supported by keyboard app)
11) Specify what End-Of-Line chars for saving your files with.
12) Tons of encoding options from ISO, windows 125_, Cyrillic, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, etc.
13) Share your files or just specific lines of selected text via email, bluetooth etc.
14) Automatic backup of files to user specified locations on SD card
15) HTML mode to easily switch between plain text and HTML view

OMG, I just realized I published v1.1 on 2011-01-11!!!!! Damn, I should have labelled it version v1.1111
Latest version 1.3 is up!
Major changes are:
- Bookshelf/memo_list/recent_files hybrid system. Basically, you can use it as a memo list, bookreader, and text file editor.
- Fixed most of the pesky question marks by using windows-1252 as the default encoding.
- Added a lot of encoding options from ISO, windows 125_, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese.
- Themes! Customizable themes, and you can specify your own background images (Paid version only).
- Share your files via email/bluetooth etc.
- Built in file browser
- No more popup nag box! :s
Almost every time i try tap for next page, the program crashes
Samsung Galaxy S i9000, Froyo.
L.B.
Hmmm.... this is really strange since you did manage to load the part you are currently viewing, my guess would be write permissions for that file, or possibly an issue with custom fonts or custom background image if you have specified any. Another likely reason could be due to the recent mess up I made with 1.32 to 1.35, where I changed the backup file placement system quite drastically.
Pls let me try to fix this by answering the following questions.
1) Does it happen in View mode only, or Edit mode only, or both?
2) Do the >> or << buttons work?
3) Does "GoTo" work?
4) How big is your file? It could be because there isn't enough space to save the backups.
5) Does this happen for every file, or just one particular file?
6) If (5), have you tried "Forget" on that file, then reloaded it?
If 5) and 6), then as a last resort, you can try deleting mnt/sdcard/.NeedToWrite, then reopen the file. But backup file data will be lost, so just make sure you save all your other files first.
Time zone where I am is midnight now, so I will not be able to reply you until 10 hrs later ,
New version 1.40!
NTW now talks! Comes with ability to adjust pitch, speech rate, and supported languages.
But be warned, I think Android's Text to Speech is a bit buggy, so the voice doesn't really respond consistently to my controls for pitch and speech rate.
Edit: I found out it does respond consistently, but I have to be patient and wait for the next sentence to play naturally, instead of pressing stop and play for instant replay
v1.41 is out. It only patches NTW crashing due to certain Text to Speech settings. Download if you encounter this crashing.
Ok, I think I've solved the crashing problem some of you may be experiencing. Hopefully anyway......
v1.42
- Patches NTW crashing due to your phone's Text to Speech settings or lack of TTS.
- More encodings: ISO-2022 for JP, KR & CN. KOI-8R for russian.
Heheheheh!!! Always wanted to implement multiple undo/redo, but only recently figured out how to do so efficiently
v1.45
- Multiple undo/redo! Undo History bar allows easy rewinding or fast forwarding of your changes, maxed at 9999 steps.
"Reset chunk" replaces the original Undo/Redo menu option.
Clicking of "Reset chunk" is recorded in Undo history.
Note: Free version has Undo history of only 1 in addition to "Reset chunk".
- Improved File Browser
- Streamlined File List interface.
Long press to view the preview, file properties, "Forget" and "Share" options.
NTW v1.47 is out!
Basically, this update makes the search, goTo, and undo/redo operations much easier than before. It also makes much better use of the space at the top which was previously just showing the filename and current %.
- Implemented fast scroll thumbs for browser and NTW shelf .
- Icon toolbar for convenient undo/redo, goTo, search, load next/prev chunk. Long click of undo/redo buttons pop up the undo history bar. Click the % display to shwo the goTo dialog.
- Improved goTo function.
NTW v1.48 is out!
- Fast scroll thumb for the main text box! (Built from scratch, whew! The behavior of ListView's fast scroll thumb was really tough to emulate properly )
- Progress bar above icon bar to show you where is your currently loaded chunk.
- Search backwards in addition to searching forwards. Plus some tweaks to search behavior
v1.49 is out!
This is mostly tweaking the behavior, performance and efficiency of undo/redo, search and replace, and the cursor.
- Fixed search backwards so that it works for single char searches too.
- Tweaks to UI of file browser and File List when adding/forgetting files
- Changed Replace operation so it is more compatible with undo/redo
- Fixed the auto shifting of cursor interfering with delete by holding down delete key
- Minor cursor tweaks and speed enhancement to File List
V1.51 is out!
New features:
- Incredibly cool Viking android as fast scroll icon!
- Even more incredibly cool menu icons!
- Delete command now available in file browser. This should be useful if you sometimes find yourself itching to do some file clean up from within NTW itself.
- Adjustments to left and right indent seekbar range and auto fadeout time of fast scroll icon.
- Self-fading pop up dialog boxes for messages like successful save, successful overwrite, or other error messages. I made the fadeout time for non-error related messages quite fast, but if you still find them irritating, let me know and I'll program in a check box to toggle their existence.
V1.52 is out!
Changes:
- File List now displays the file name only.
- Added shortcut to change "Encoding". Long press the main editing window to bring up the context menu, then select "Encoding Options".
- Ratings button, and my blog address added into Help
- Text cursor will no longer move along with the scrolling page.
- Tablet users should (hopefully) be able to find NTW in the Market now.
- NTW now supports only Android v 2.2 or higher. I think NTW was crashing for for v2.1.
I'm thinking I should probably move on to something else for now. Have an idea for an interesting variation of a file explorer....
I'll get back to NTW as and when I have time, maybe improve the search and replace or the GoTo % accuracy etc.
v1.53
Mainly bug fixes for Tablets:
- NTW now supports only Android v 2.2 or higher. I think NTW was crashing for for v2.1.
- Patched some crash on start up bugs
- Changed iconsbar layout to uniform spacing
- Soft Menu button will now appear for tablets with no physical menu button
(I just hope what I did to solve this did not stop NTW from appearing in the Market Search results.)
Yes, I did it again... released a new version specifically to patch the last updated version , forgive my hasty uploads.
v1.55 is out! You should get this if you have files with very similar names or chnage the upper/lower case of your filenames. File List is also improved for easier viewing of file details across multiple files.
Note: v1.55 should support Android 1.6 onwards
Changes
- 1 touch save button on the toolbar
- Fixed bug of corrupted file if only the upper/lower case of filename is changed when using the complete save dialog.
- Added buttons in File List to expand/collapse file properties. Email me if you want more development in this aspect.
- Help menu in File Browser and File List.
- Fixed bugs of upper/lower case and very similar filenames.
- Various tweaks
v1.59 is out
- Search now allows limited usage of wildcards '*'. See Help for details.
- Replace button is now more versatile. Useable as a paste button too.
- fixed issue of other textboxes taking up whole screen in landscape mode.
Note: Icons bar are now horizontally scrollable, although you'll only realize it if your screen is really small. This is in preparation for at least 4 more icons which you may be able to guess the use of ...
v1.60 is out
- Dedicated cut, copy, and paste icons!
- Dedicated text selection tool. Works like a shift button except it doesn't affect uppercase/lowercase. Single tap on its icon will have the same effect as holding down the shift key. Then tap anywhere on the screen to place the end of the text selection.
- Icon colors will now behave properly
- Misc tweaks and slightly nicer icons
And now, be prepared for v1.61 to fix any bugs I seem to always leave behind somewhere..
Note: For those who have experienced crashes when navigating with NTW's file browser to particular folders, the cause of this is apparently due to some atypical file or folder properties/permissions that screw up NTW's autosorting by date system.
I dun know how to fix this yet. In the meantime, you can simply use a generic file browser to navigate to the file you want, then long click on it and choose NTW to open it. NTW should then be able to open it normally. If NTW still crashes and won't start up again without crashing, then you can try going to your sdcard/.NeedToWrite folder, open your log.txt file and delete the line containing the problematic file path.
Yay! v1.60 was released without any need for major debugging afterwards
Let's hope v1.61 can do the same.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you NTW v1.61!
- Sort NTW's shelf by file name, date, type etc!
- HTML view at long last! And with text justification (i.e. alignment of both left and right)
However, HTML mode is view only, but you can easily switch between raw text and html modes to edit it on the fly.
Note: File with non ".html" extensions are displayed using a default template whose font size, spacing and colors will follow your theme settings. If you know how to use HTML tags, you can insert them in yourself to manipulate the look of specific words and sentences, and even display pictures! However, the text that your custom tags wrap around must not contain any newlines.
Files with ".html" extensions are displayed using the file's specifications. Some errors may be present due to NTW's chunking system.
- No more weird truncation between each chunk. Loading of each chunk will now preferentially start and end with newlines, spaces, ".", or ","
- Disabled long press during view only mode.
- Tweaks to copy/cut/paste, select text functions
- Made some icons more informative.
- Minor tweaks and corrections
Feedback, anyone?
OT, but at least its still my app
Ahem, pls help me share my vid? I'm hoping to make it go viral

Feature Requests:
* Please consider an application icon that reflects the comic-centric nature of this reader.
* Right-To-Left Manga reading was chosen as default, should be Left-To-Right, or have a dialog asking the user what he reads most frequently mangas or US comics, and choose accordingly.
* When going to the next page, please move the page to the top corner, right now it moves to the center of the next page. Same for previous page.
* Option to force screen on all the time while reading
* Option to force screen brightness while reading
* Option to show low battery warning while reading
* Pinch-to-zoom - it's just too convenient and expected by users
* Homescreen Widget 2x2/3x3 - the latest opened comic book/page. Shows the latest opened/read page, and in its corner a smaller thumb of that comic book's cover. Also info about the name and the page number, both optional from widget settings.
* Playlist (Reading Order) management.
* Shortcuts - create Playlist or a Folder into a screen shortcut. When clicked, move to the latest opened comic on it's latest read page from that Playlist or Folder.
Do most of these (Playlist may require more effort but is worth it) and slap a 2.99$ price, and I'll buy it immediately.

Thank you for your suggestion.
1.I'm a programmer not art designer. So my art sense is not enough to design a good icon. I'll try to think other design.
2.I make this software is mainly for read Japanese comic(Manga). So I make Right-To-Left as default. Maybe show a dialog to let user choose on first startup is a good idea.
3.Yor may try set page origin to reading direction
Menu -> Browse -> Reading direction
4~7. I'll add these function in future.
8~10. I don't have plan to add these function currently. There is many other function need to add. Maybe I'll consider these when I completed other function.
This app is great, small but powerful, thanks for you work!

XDA is rife with designer talent that is eager to work for quality projects, so maybe you should just look around and ask for art/theme designers to land a hand or provide assets for backgrounds, etc? You will be surprised just how much your app will be improved with proper artwork.
Very nice app, fast and powerful. I have been looking for a simple sequential image viewer like this since I got my Android phone and I've tried quite a few; this is the best I've seen yet.
What I like:
Fast interface
Customizable touch zones allow quick zooming and navigation
Good format support
Can browse into directories that start with a dot
A few improvements I'd like to suggest:
I like the option to select the resampling method, but nearest-neighbor doesn't look very good and the other options perform too slowly on my phone to be practical. Other image viewers (such as the default Gallery) seem to handle image scaling with a better quality/performance tradeoff. Also it seems like there is an off-by-one error when selecting the sampling method, when I select a method I always get the method just above the one I selected.
It would be nice if there was an option for automatically switching screen orientation when the phone is rotated. Also, when I switch orientation the app steps forward to the next page, I think it should stay on the same page.
I don't see a long-press action, that could be another configurable action. It might be useful to display the touch commands on long press in case you forget some of the less-used commands and need a reminder. Or it could be configured to execute some other action.
The app is not too big currently, but it is larger than some other similar apps. For example ACV is under 300KB.
All in all, great app! Thanks for releasing it and I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it in the future.

Thank you for your suggestion.
1.You can choose Averaging method it's have normal image quality and fast.
And you found a bug I'll fix it soon.
2.Automatically switching screen orientation will be add in future. You found another bug I'll fix it soon.
3.I don't have plan to add long-press action currently.
4.Because this app is use native c++ library(libpng,libjpeg etc.) to handle image&archive files so will be a little bigger
Can you make the app show thumbnail's of the jpg/png (not the comic book files)? This way, I can finally get rid of the android gallery app. I will gladly donate if this feature can be done.

Thank you.
fantastic app!
lol, i think i've been using this more than any other as of late.
just wish it would render a little faster on anything other than 'averaging' and 'nearest-neighbor' as the quality of the others are much better, but don't think there's much you can do about that.
again, awesome!
Hello,
I apologize in advance because English is not my native language.
I try to use your program in a tablet, SmartQ V7, with these features:
Android 2.1
600MHz ARM11 CPU
Memory 256MB DDR II RAM
Virtual Cache 128MB
The problem is that when you open the comic book closes automatically.
I tried the following:
Close all aplicaiones to free memory, free memory getting about 80 MB,
Turn off cache in settings
I would love to test your application as it is highly recommended.
Thank you very much

2010/11/12 Version 1.2

Version 1.2 is a great improvement, the new UI is very smooth and has a profesional feel to it.
Still, there's one minor annoyance that's fairly easy to fix and will greatly improve my experience with your comic viewer. I like the slide command where instead changing the page, the screen slides down the page until it reaches the bottom, then changes the page. What I find annoying however is that the distance the screen slides is not configurable. It would be great if we can change the screen slide distance. The slide distance can be a value that chan be changed with a slider, or presets based on fractions of the page height, i.e. 1/5, 1/4, 1/3, and 1/2.
Thanks a lot.
I have Android as the operating system in my tablet (10" Eken M006). Before knowing Perfect Viewer, I would prefer my images in PDF, despite some problems, but now I have changed my mind. Your application has some interesting qualities (that Documents-To-Go lacks when opening PDF files):
1. It fits the image no matter the size of the previous one.
2. It remembers last viewed page.
3. The page does not rotate automatically, what is a bless. I suffer a lot when the page rotates by itself. It would be great if you added a "page rotating" function.
Page orientation is not the problem. I read many Western reading books, and pressing the screen on the left or the right side is indifferent.
The application will be even better if it could open other image formats, like GIF and BMP. If you could include PDF files, it would end up simply perfect.
Thanks a lot for the great job.

I have Android as the operating system in my tablet (10" Eken M006). Before knowing Perfect Viewer, I would prefer my images in PDF, despite some problems, but now I have changed my mind. Your application has some interesting qualities (that Documents-To-Go lacks when opening PDF files):
1. It fits the image no matter the size of the previous one.
2. It remembers last viewed page.
3. The page does not rotate automatically, what is a bless. I suffer a lot when the page rotates by itself. It would be great if you added a "page rotating" function.
Page orientation is not the problem. I read many Western reading books, and pressing the screen on the left or the right side is indifferent.
The application will be even better if it could open other image formats, like GIF and BMP. If you could include PDF files, it would end up simply perfect.
Thanks a lot for the great job.

Hi all!
A few days ago i found a really cool alternative keyboard to the stock one as well as to swype. Now, after i tested it for sometime, i wanted to share it with you.
So since i didn't find a thread for keyboards in here, i came to the idea to make a collection of alternative keyboards, where everyone can introduce his favourites and list the options of it.
I'll make the start:
Ultra Keyboard - a really good keyboard with loads of options, very precise swyping and, in my opinion, unmatched word suggestion. I'm using the version 5.6.3 right now.
PRO:
- faster word suggestion than swype
- in my opinion much better precision than the 2.44 version of swype (1.6 was much better, but did unfortunately expire)
- all important layouts (QWERTY, QWERTZ, AZERTY, Alphabetical, Compact Keyboard (T9), automatical switch to numeric pad, when in an appropiate field)
- many themes (presets or even self made)
- adjustable button height for perfect precision
- option to manually calibrate the keyboard
- gesture support (for example to cange dictionary language, i use it to change from english to german and back)
- built-in translation feature
- speech-to-text
- camera mode for "transparent" screen (useful if you're typing while you walk)
- easily add and delete words in your user dictionary
- much more ... just try it!
- available dictionaries: english, german, french, italian, dutch, spanish
CONTRA:
- like all good things, it's not free
Price: 2,00 € (about 2.50$)

So that's all i remember right now. Oh, just to add that: This is no advertisement and I'm not connected to the developer in any way
So what keyboards can you suggest?
I started using HTC mod then I used Smart Keyboard PRO
this was very easy and I find that it have the most effective error correction ability. means you can trype the word but you will never touch correct key always. but touching the next key to the desired key and still you will end up getting the correct word at the end.
Then I switched to SwiftKey Keyboard
It has unique ability to lean my way of typing and suggest my next word. so far it made my typing faster.
Check it out...
I'm using SlideIT. If you choose free (demo) version it has some limitations like 10 custom words in memory. It expires after some time but then I just reinstall it and it works like a charm again...
So, long story short you have free keyboard with swyping support and tons of different languages.

Download
v27
High resolution version
High resolution version (Froyo/2.2)
Low resolution version for Android 1.6 and up
Low resolution version for Android 1.5 (no voice input)
Instructions:
Download and unzip (not flashable update.zip!)
Install the two apks (HTC_IME & Clicker) using your favorite method (via a file manager or adb install -r). Sense users shouldn't (and needn't) install Clicker.
There is no need to push anything to /system
Go to Menu, Settings, Language & Keyboard. Activate "HTC_IME mod"
To change keyboard, long press on lower left key on stock keyboard or any input field. Select input method in the menu.
See note below if you have earlier versions than v22 installed already!
Requirements:
Android
Compatible resolution screen
Compatible CPU. Sorry can't say which they are but I know some Samsung phones are not supported. This is due to the included HTC native prediction library.
Configuring my hacks
All configuration is now done in the settings dialog. No need for config files on SD card (v22 and up).
Some options modifies stuff that are set when the keyboard first loads. Thus you need to kill it for changes to take effect (or reboot).
Upgrade notes
Starting with v22 I now use my own java package name. This means that it can be installed in parallel with stock HTC_IME (no root needed on Sense).
Settings from v21 and earlier can't be read from v22 and up. You must enter them again. The user dictionary can be exported from v21 and imported into v22. Both versions can coexist during this process. This inconvenience will only happen between v21 and newer. Sorry for this, but this change will enable me do to more advanced mods in the future.
v23 has a hires Clicker. You should install it if not using Sense
Source code
Interested in how I do this? I've decided to share the sources for the mod so that the project can live on when I get tired of it. You can study it just for learning or implement your own mods. You are free to do whatever you want with if as long as you buy me a beer

Please spend a few hours trying to set it up and figure out some stuff on your own before bombarding me with questions...

Version 11: Fixed saving position of word suggestion list (a typo caused the same value to be used for all orientations). Fixed auto cap in browser with physical keyboard.
Version 10: Many new options (see feature list). Fixes: voice input in all keyboards, voice input didn't capitalize correctly, "speak now" dialog showing to early, prediction not showing for passwords anymore, auto capitalization for T9/compact QWERTY now works in browser, smoother movement of word suggestion list, settings button showed "EN" (now scaled icon from lowres), Landscape now works on Droid (with resolution related glitches)
Version 9: Fixed the screwed up enter key in v8. Added experimental voice server settings. For German to work you will have to use the alternative server.
Version 8: Added custom word candidates bar. Fixed wacky SHIFT key. Word candidate list position now remembered. Configurable in settings dialog. Added some Extras to voice input Intent copied from stock KB (missed earlier). One step closer to Droid landscape support.
Version 7: Fixed compatibility with Terminal Emulator in CyanogenMod, KB going haywire in CoPilot and word candidate list shows to low (hid active input field sometimes like in stock messaging app). Lowered android:minSdkVersion from 7 to 3. This could mean stock Droid support, but don't complain when it FC's on Cupcake
Version 6: Tweaks to the sentence auto capitalization code. Should now work in most web browser forms such as the message composer on this forum. Tweaked enter key behavior a bit.
Version 5: Show voice input button for all languages instead of EN button in all keyboards that uses the same layouts as the English ones. To fix this in all other layouts, modding binary XML is required. I need help with that. Voice input seems to use your current locale if supported, and English as fallback.
Version 4: New voice input control logic that doesn't break Google Voice search. Changed voice processing URL from dev server to stock keyboard settings.
Version 3: Fixed FC in User Dictionary editor. Fixed HTC not obeying EditorInfo.imeOption flag flagNoEnterAction (caused two sends in stock messaging app)
Version 2: Fixed FC in user database
Version 1: Initial release featuring language settings hack with .htcime and dictionary support in web browser forms. Tested on N1. Clicker is low res for now.
Old low res:
Version 4: Better support for OpenEclair (at least one reported succes with Dutch on it)
Version 3: Supports Samsung Galaxy/Spica (this version has never been featured on xda)
Version 2: Dictionary support in web browser forms
Version 1: Initial release featuring language settings hack with .htcime

Want to skin it?.....
gIMpSTa said:
I have created an "online kitchen" of sorts for creating custom skinned, signed, HTC_IME high and low res apk files. This means you guys can very easily create your own skins and customize the ones I've created!
What is this?
A website you can visit on your computer or directly from your phone that will let you a> create a custom skinned keyboard based off of any of the images currently in the library (various colored keys, backgrounds, etc) with whatever text color you want and b> customize existing "skins" (will be known as "presets") however your heats desire.
Currently, it should be considered very beta. All the features that are here should be working 100%.
Why beta, that sounds scary?
It's beta for a couple of reasons, 1 because it's currently UGLY as sin (concentrated on features and back end first) and 2 because I'm actively working on it which means it could break at any time.
What is the point of this?
Besides the fact that you can now customize the hell out of the way your keyboard looks, it drastically reduces the amount of work I have to do in the future. Currently, i'm uploading 46 pre-themed apk files for every single update. While this isn't really a big deal since I automated the process, it slows down how quickly I can put up updates. With this new method, all I have to do is upload the original unthemed keyboard apk and classes.dex for each new version and my work is done!
Everything else:
If you select a preset, you will still be asked to choose each portion of the keyboard (background, buttons, text color etc). The image with the yellow border around it (you'll see what I mean) is the default "piece" for the preset.
One last thing, depending on server load it could take anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes to generate the keyboard. Most of the time I suspect it will be < 1 minute tho.
I don't mind if you use this to generate a keyboard and include it with something (theme/morph) or post it somewhere, just give due credit
URL for HIGH RES online kitchen: http://www.gimpsta.com/themer/
URL for LOW RES online kitchen: http://www.gimpsta.com/themerlo/
Current feature list / changelog:
Start from a "preset" (any of my current themes) and change any component of it.
Choose any of my current backgrounds
Choose any of my current primary/function key styles
Choose any of my current "symbol sets"
Choose any of my current space bar logo/images
Upload your own spacebar logo
Choose any color text for letters and alternate characters
Built in bug reporting/feature requests (for new image sets, for example)
Choose any color for background image
Preview keyboard before generating it
Option to see/reuse all skins you have generated
Option to see/reuse last 25 skins anyone has generated
Choose any color for symbol sets
Added lowres kitchen
Added option to choose between 1.5 only and 1.6+ low res versions in low res kitchen.
Added v25 froyo version.
Added all v26 versions to kitchen!
Added all v27 versions to kitchen!
Added v27-froyo lowres version to kitchen!
New option: Create your own primary/function keys is FINALLY here!

No problem
I think the same, i just started looking for other swyping keyboards because the latest release of Swype is a big step backwards from version 1.6 regarding accuracy and speed. But i'm glad I started looking, there are a lot of better keyboards out there, and right now ultra keyboard seems perfect for me

can anyone please tell me the perfect settings for ultra..
the settings section looks mess for me...
i feel it very complicated...
i got used to swype...
so any of you please tell me the exact settings to be put in ultra to make it more better than swype!
I tried Ultra too...
I didn't like it so, i'm with swype till gets out of bet and will cost money.
After, i'll have to decide which one i will use.
What i don't like about swype is the small selection of dictonaries while for Ultra probably you can create your own.

Well, for a start, just the keyboard options that you find here:
- Enable tracing. That's the swipe option in Ultra keyboard.
- set key height to a value that fits you perfect. Just try writing a few sentences till it feels right.
- Choose your Layout (QWERTZ, QWERTY, Compact (T9), AZERTY, Alphabetical)
Now, the other options (you find them, if you scroll the options bar on the keyboard horizontally, symbol is two crossed tools ):
- under "Typing" you can calibrate the keyboard so that you're able to hit the keys precisely. Calibrate both portrait and landscape mode.
- Under "Gestures" you can set, well, gestures There are a lot of options, I use a swipe down to chose my second dictionary. Set it to whatever you like
- under "Suggestions" you can choose to add contact names to the dictionary or blacklist words you don't need.
- note that Ultra keyboard repeats letters if you pause over a key, that's different than Swype is doing. You can enable/disable that under "Tracing"
That's some points I can think of right now. If there is something you want to change/ do or if you don't understand, just ask
Cheers

MIUI for Beginners
Source: http://en.miui.com/a-10.html
Already flashed MIUI ROM? OK, pick up your phone now, let’s start our happy journey of MIUI ROM.
The first step: selecting apps
Various apps will greatly enrich your cell phone, so firstly let’s select the apps to your taste. Use the Android Market and download what you would like. If you are using a backup app and restoring apps from a previous ROM, only restore the apps and not the data. Otherwise that will create a lot of force close issues.
Tip: How to copy files from the computer to the phone? First connect your phone to your computer via data cable, pull down the notification panel from the top of the phone, click “USB connected”, and then click "Turn on USB storage”.
After copying, do not forget to select the option of “Turn off USB storage”, otherwise "File Manager” in the phone will not be able to find the sd card, as it is being occupied by the computer.
Now I have a lot of apps, how to put them in order?
All apps successfully installed are listed on the desktop, however, they may not be in the order you want, how to put them in order?
Long press an app icon and then you may move it freely. When it is moved to the screen border, the screen will automatically switch to the next screen.
How to add a screen? Use two fingers to pinch on the desktop to enter screen thumbnail mode. Then you may add or delete screens.
How to delete an app? Long press the app icon you want to delete, drag it on top of the trash box and click OK to delete it.
The second step: let's make your phone different.
A phone without style is nothing remarkable, so let’s make your phone different!
Changing wallpaper: Click Menu button on the desktop, select “Change Wallpaper” to replace the wallpaper. In addition to the existing wallpaper in the phone, thousands of pieces of wallpaper are also available online.
Changing theme: Themes make great changes to your interface style. Click “Theme Manager” on the desktop to select the theme you like. Also, more online themes are available online.
Selecting ringtones and more: click “Settings” on the desktop to set call and notification ringtones. In “Personalization” under “Personal” tab, you may find more options.
The third step: it’s time for some advanced techniques!
Well, you are no longer a beginner now, so let’s learn some advanced techniques.
Adding widgets on the desktop: press the Menu button on the desktop, select "Edit Mode", and then click the icon on the upper right corner to access the interface of “Add Widgets”. Choose your favorite widget on the top, and then drag it to the screen below.
Using folders to manage desktop apps: in the interface of “Add Widgets”, drag [Folder] to the desktop. You may drag multiple apps into folders to classify them. After opening the folder, you may click the edit icon in the upper left corner to rename the folder.
Using toggles panel to improve efficiency: drag the notification panel down from the top, click "Toggles" to go to the toggles panel (It goes to the toggles panel in default of notice.) On the panel are listed the most commonly used toggles, you may click to quickly enable or disable a toggle. Long press on the icon will launch the settings for that icon.
Guest mode: enable the “Guest Mode” toggle in the panel, and your calls and text messages logs will be hidden, and all installed applications cannot be removed. You may have a try when you need to show your phone to guests or children.
Importing contacts or binding accounts: you may use some apps to import a batch of contacts, or bind Google account directly in "Settings"> "Personal"> "Accounts & Sync Settings" to sync contacts at any time.
How to print screens? Press "Menu" key and "Volume Down" key at the same time to print a screen. The printed image is saved in the directory of MIUI in the SD card.
How to copy files from the computer without using the data cable? In case of a Wi-Fi connection, enter “File Manager” on the desktop, select the tab of "Remote Administration" to start the service, and then you will get an address. Enter the given address on the computer, then you may copy files without using a data cable!

It comes with an overclocked stock kernel of 800 MHz. Any kernel that works for CM7 should work for this build.
You can find more info on this build by checking out the forum post at MIUI.us
Good job guys lets keep this thread up.

Dialing *228 will not bring up the dial pad for you to select 1 or 2 (activate or update prl list) To get around this, you can dial *228+ (you can get the + by holding the 0 button)
This should dial *228 while bringing up the dial pad so you can press a number to activate or update your phone.
New release is available at MIUI.us!

I don't know what the deal is but the last 3 versions of miui just wont run on my d1. They all start out smooth and quick and then within a few hours drag to a 10 second or more delay to do anything. very frustrating because i love the new lockscreen they've developed.

I have noticed on this build as well as last weeks that my phone seems to be sluggish when waking up after being idle for a period of time. I believe the issue is a change made in build.prop to try to save some battery life.
Try editing build.prop and commenting out these two lines to see if it helps:
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0
pm.sleep_mode=1
Hey guys. Some of you might know me from my z4root app - anyway, I had some free time this week and cooked up a new filemanager app. It uses a nice gesture based navigation system that I haven't seen used before.

Hey Ryan, just downloaded, feedback to follow.
OT, Just like to say a big thanks - without your oclf app, i would never have rooted my sgs and been introduced to the world of Android modding.
Version 0.2 is now available.
+ You can disable adverts now.
+ Couple bug fixes
Still no feedback yet.. if you get a chance, test it out and let me know if you like it or not!
Hi ryan, if this fe has root access, then it's not easy to find! I'm running miui on my sgs1. The explorer has root granted, but no files when I choose root access from places menu.
For me the background could be a little darker or plain to make text easier to read.
Also the red arrow saying swipe is pointing the opposite way to which u need to swipe - it seems counter intuitive to me (but that could be a personal thing).
I'd prefer much smaller tabs for each file, there's lots of space around the text - if there was less space around the text of each file, you would be able to fit more information on the screen which would make searching for a file easier. (hope I've explained myself ok)
Will play some more.
Decided to test this out on my Acer Iconia Tab(HC3.2) to test compatability.
Initial thoughts:
1. App has a low memory footprint and browsed directories quickly. +1
2. As you can see in the screeny below, the app looks fine at high resolutions. +1
3. Root file explorer functions work as needed. +1
4. Background is tiled and does not look good on a high-res screen. Perhaps give the option to choose a solid background color... -1
That's my initial thoughts as of yet, keep up the good work and good progress thus far.

How did u get to root files?
Simple as that...
Select the places option and choose root access.
Sent from my SCH-R720 using Tapatalk
Yep, did that, no joy. I've updated superuser and checked root with root checker app. Poss problem with sgs1 or cm7/miui?
It`s a possibility, but I'm running it on HC3.2 with no issues.
Go into app manager(settings/applications/manage applications) and clear the app cache/data then reboot and try again.
If the above doesn't work contact the dev for more solutions.

I use 'toolbox ls' to get the files for root access. I'm guessing your device has a non-android-standard toolbox binary. Weird. I'll compile up my own one and include it after I do the theme selection.
It's not really made for tablets yet - tablet version should have multiple small views so you can see multiple folders at once. I'm going to finish the phone side before doing tablet optimizations though.
Thanks for the feedback though, great stuff!
Version 0.3 is up.
+ Theme browser
+ Kittens!
Next up is an included mini-busybox so that root mode will work on all devices, plus viewing/setting permissions for root mode.
Version 0.4 is up.
+ 36KB independent busybox is included for max compatibility.
+ Permissions for the root browser.
Just downloaded right now, I really like how fast your actually able to access your files. There is no lag or anything. Keep up the great work Ryan!

Done - works with live wallpaper as well. V0.4.1:

Hi,
just gave it a testdrive. Works ok and fast.
- all the fonts are way too big. Could fit much more onto the screen. In list view, as well in detail view
- clicking on file or folder doesn't do anything than showing the swipe reminder. It should open.
- the swipe reminder points to the right, but I have actually swipe to the left to make something happening.
Keep up and thanks

Thanks for the feedback! Next version will have a list size option - 'small' 'medium' 'large', with large being the current one and medium the default.
Clicking on the file or folder does do something - it gets a checkmark over the icon to show it's selected. Just tap on the flashing action button at the bottom of the screen to copy/move/delete all the selected files.

Swipe reminder needs to change, yeah. I'm thinking a one time help screen when you first start the app would be better.
Thanks guys.
I have root access! New version fixed problem. Just need option to adjust tab/font size now for more info on-screen.
V0.4.2 !
+ Setting in options to change list size. Default list size is smaller.
+ Changed swipe indicator. It moves right to left now, too.
EDIT: 0.4.3
+ Slightly larger gaps between items.
+ Swipe indicator is now less visible. (0.75 alpha)

Current panel changing instantly with any action of the user on the panel, such as touch, scrolling or clicking.
If you begin to select objects in each panel will appear at the bottom is such a panel with buttons
It will operate on the currently selected file.
If at this point you switch to another panel

When changing the folder in one pane, the selection in the other remains in its place:

Yes, I want to implement it. Added in the future plans.
Source code will be available after app release. Now it is too crude version and before the release of the source will need to refactor.
----------------
Version 0.0.1a is complete.
Worked:
- copy, move, delete file from bottom panel, like Total Commander.
- new folder, select all, deselect all, add new folder also from bottom panel.
- Share button (send file)
- Open file with assigned app
- Confirmation of operation (copy/move/delete)
- Kamikaze mode - Perform action immediately when you click, dont ask anything and dont perform confirmation.
Include preferences:
- Control panel (bottom bar) - (always on / show up when any selection)
- Open new dir - (open new dir when it created / just create it)
- Save path - (save path when exit / forget it)
- Focus dir - (Set focus on current dir, when UP button pressed / go to the top element of list)

Those who have tested, comments, ideas? What to do first?
Very cool looking file manager i'll keep track of this, and it's one of the few that has dual panel view (the other one that i know if is solid explorer).
I have never tried using dual panne file manager on android but what I like about this app is that both the file views are accessible while using screen reading apps for android such as TalkBack or Spiel.
If I can ask there are some buttons at the top of the main window and some icons at the bottom.
These have no textual labels. Should these be added?
If it is undesired to display text labels on the screen maybe you can use content description properties on the individual buttons / images.

apk,ai,pdf,psd,swf,txt,doc,docx,rtf,odt,xlsx,xls,ods,fb2,djvu,chm,epub,ibooks,zip,7z,rar,ttf,otf,pptx,ppt,xml.
- added APK file icons generation (enabled by default, can be turned off in preferences).

p.s.: wrong version in about.
Can anyone help with translation to other language?
English, Japanese, Spanish, Standard Chinese, French, German, Hindi, Arabic, Portuguese?
I'll share string resource on pastebin.
What about when in portrait mode on phones, be able to slide from one panel to another (2 panels on such a small window is not so useful and dont looks great in my opinion)
Text editor?
+1 for ftp capability and root also
looks promising, great work!
iregados, phone version in plans. have some ideas how to make the operation more convenient, but i have only a tablet to regular testing and no free time, when i'll have some free time and the phone, I will develop both version, for phones and tablets too.
the primary target - release is for tablets, and only then will a special version adapted for phones.
phones will have to wait.
