[Tweak] Impaled Keyboard Patch Fix | Flashable Reboot-Proof Fix and Speed Demon Mode! - Epic 4G Android Development

This is now included in SFR and Anova's Rom!​
Even though most customs roms now have the wonderful keyboard patch posted by mkasick here, I've found that almost all of them still drop keys. But, with some experimenting, I believe I've found the perfect value to set the key timer at
If you want to make these settings stick at boot, flash my handy dandy zip attached to this post. Credit to the method goes to user_none. If you flash and still get occational dropped keys, it's because you're a typing beast. Flashing the speed demon version should fix it 100% for you
If you want to do it manually, or try it out first, use the command below:
Download terminal emulator from the market
Open it up
Code:
su
echo 5 > /sys/devices/platform/s3c-keypad/timer_delay
Should be good! Marvel in the ability to type as fast and accurately as you'd like on the Epic's keyboard
If this Impaled tip has helped you, toss me a thanks
Need a how-to? Big thanks to qbking77 for this video guide!

Not a problem, let me know how it goes! And if it works, don't forget to utilize that button

It should be stated, (last time I read this thread it wasn't) that this does require a rooted rom.
It's implied and obvious, yes, but someone is bound to ask.

I see a definite improvement, the only issue now seems to be getting used to using a hard keyboard again before I can really assess any change.

If you don't have a compatible kernel with the tweak, then no this will not work, as I explain in the OP. Most new kernels however, are compatible

Umm, probably not, seeing as I don't think the aria even has a hardware keyboard Even if it did, it wouldn't work most likely.

Yeah, if it is based off of midNIGHT's rom/ext4, you need to flash through CWM3 (orange)
EDIT: I may be wrong. I guess it would depend on which version of midNIGHT it is based on. The most current version is "edify friendly", so if it is based off of that - then yes, you should use CWM3. If it is not, then the CWM version ending in .02 should be used if you already have ext4.

I'm running the newest version of midNIGHT now and the DEV is a great guy. I was going to flash this and test it out b/c it is based off of that and has the "extras" included that I currently have loaded (GB theme, GB keyboard, no data throttle) through seperate flashes!
Also, being that it is an "edify" rom, there is a link to a repository of edify-converted items on the midNIGHT DEV's personal blog (link is in the midNIGHT 2.7 thread). He has taken conversion requests and posted them there.

Yes, I will try it myself, just wondering if others tried and wanted to share.
As far as your statement for quadrant, are you basing that off personal experience or is there a huge thread in this forum called "quadrant sucks on the epic"?

I think there are several threads about how the free version of quadrant is useless. The scores are easy to manipulate.

I made this pre-optimized because it boots much faster, only adds a trivial (if any) amount of size to the ROM image, and saves a lot of space in dalvik-cache. May I ask why you are looking for a non-optimized version?
Great to see this come out Jason. I'll be trying this out for sure. I just hope you don't stop your contributions to CM7 repo in the heroc section. It looks like we currently are stuck on #30.

I'm still running CM7 myself (albeit with a few personal compilation tweaks), so I'll of course still be contributing.
Take a look at the Nightly page -- all devices are stuck at 30 right now. Must be something wrong with the build bot.

[Q&A/Convo]Tweaked 3.x

Hey folks -
In an attempt to keep the main thread as uncluttered as possible, I humbly request all general questions/answers regarding tweaked 3.x to be done in this thread. If there is some sort of bug (like a force close or the like) to report, post that plus a logcat if applicable (usually is) in the main thread here.
I hope things work as expected, and that the rom is enjoyed! Feel free to post any recommendations/requests here as well - though I make no promises on acting on any of them
Now i see why people wanted the official release so badly... i guess after using stock forever you forget about the speed of tweaked

Yep, but its far trickier to update the tweaktools scripts now that they are in the rom than it is to update the md5 lists they read from on the server currently - I'll have to make that change in a future update though!

Some of them like stock and galaxy s can be used on the stock kernel since they were pulled off of samsung phones that use the same retarded file format. Other than that you can make a kernel or use fp1 pbj.
Dwith do you have the stock flash player apk? Since adobe dropped support for flash over the summer we can't just download it off the market anymore unless it is preinstalled on the phone.

If you don't need pbj then you will be fine. I personally use tegrak to overclock w/o custom kernel and don't care about the boot animation.
