I am looking for Swype keyboard from TMOUS rom because currently i have a custom run onmy TMOUS HD2 but will like to have Swype keyboard
let me know if anyone can find or extract the keyboard for me
bump bump bump....
Gosh...why?! It is horrible!
Avoid it.
It may look nicer, but after using it for 3 days I switched back to the older version.
The new one is absolutely horrible in recognition, and the sensitivity is just so off...
As I was working on trying to port CM6/CM7, I realized that it is much more time effective for me to port the tweaks involved with CM6/7, rather than trying to actually port the whole thing. So with that in mind, what tweaks/aspects of CM6/7 do people like/would like to see on our phone?
Bear in mind that because CM7 is GingerBread, so although I will try my best, I can't promise that features from CM7 are portable. CM6 features should be portable, but I *promise* nothing, and will try my best otherwise.
Currently working on
An extra menu in settings to control all this crap
REQUESTS
:LED Settings that are actually helpful/useful (pending)
:Camera on Low Bat (pending)
:Customizable Power Notification (pending)
Requests that probably aren't going to happen
CM7 (until a GB source release from Samsung for our phone or a very generous donation that gives me a reason to spend a month porting a kernel)
CM7 Theme Support (built on the GB API, all themes are Gingerbread minimum API anyways).

i think the lockscreen gestures would be awesome
theme support would be cool ( dont know if thats possible)
led settings would be nice
I mentioned this to you before, but I thought i'd post here and see if anyone else responds: how about an optional flashable tweak, if possible, for those who want to be able to use their camera on low battery and don't want their screen dimmed and keyboard blacked out. (I know you can brighten the screen on low batt., but you have to do it every time after waking the phone from sleep). I believe on CM7 the phone simply functions normally until the battery dies.
I'll definitely look at the battery tweaks as that should be fairly easy to find, as for the theme manager, the issue is that its built from the GB API, as are all the themes. So even if the theme manager were ported, none of the themes would install as they would require a higher OS version
Customizable notification power control bar. What we have is decent enough. But I always liked that about CM series, being able to customize.
Touchwiz power control is good enough so no need to put this as a high-demand feature.
Are you still working on porting CM? I'd rather wait for CM than just flash tweaks every now and then.
I agree instead of porting u should at least try port cm6 which is froyo that would be awesome till we get a gingerbread kernel leak which krylon is looking into

Porting CM6 will take me at least another month. That's what I was working on the past 2 weeks, but its all the same problem. CM6 and CM7 both require a ported kernel (2.6.35), which is very tedious and frustrating given the parts that were added to our phone.
Yea I saw that when I was looking into it I'm trying to get in contact with a samsung team on xda see if the help us out to get this ported

What I'm saying with this thread is, we can essentially build CM6 on our phones, without the official title and all the extra work in porting a kernel, if we just build the parts in that make CM6 different from stock.
So that's my goal, to add enough parts to this that it will be similar to CM6 in functionality.
That's a great idea I just don't know what we can use lol

The way I see it, although I love CM and would love to see it on this phone just as much as the next guy, I don't see a whole ton of stuff that's in CM that's not in our stuff already. So if I can focus on the things that people actually use from CM, I can build things that people want in CM, rather than trying to build CM.

Makes sense, considering you're the only one working on it, that I've heard. If it takes time to port a whole thing over, why not cut time down and just port that parts you love about CM.
Honestly, with the work you and ayoteddy have been doing for our phones, Cyanogen isn't a big deal to me. I mean, this may be off-topic, but the only things I do want are to completely eliminate that keyboard lag and to keep the keyboard backlight lit whenever open. Other than that, you guys have tweaked and optimized the phone so much already.
I haven't seen any keyboard lag, where do you see this? I'll look at the keyboard backlight thing shortly, currently working on an extra menu in settings to control all the tweaks I'm adding.
I'll also add a requests list to the OP shortly. EDIT: added.
When typing quickly some inputs may skip. I read the Samsung Epic had the same problem. That phone had a fix for the keyboard lag.

Ahhh! So it happens to others too. i thought i just was messing up..i was like..i never messed up before. yess, this happens to me too and it sucks. makes uo type ike tis. (missing letters, but not that frequent)
Yeah. Just like that. It's worse when you're typing on an app that uses more resources, like typing on a web browser on an html page. Or when the facebook app is refreshing the feed while you type a status.
I contacted the developer who made the keyboard patch for the Epic(he really fixed the problem up good on that device!). he made a similar patch for us, for the Sidekick, I've just been too half-assed about learning how to apply the patch to our kernel, lol.
you guys can read what he wrote and find the patch he made us here, at the end of the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=975611
apparently, our phone shouldn't suffer nearly as bad as the Epic, but he still made us a patch to make our keypad timer delay configurable by the user!
Edit: for some reason, the letter that skips the most on my phone is the "y", haha.
I don't know much about CM, but I'd really love the option to use landscape software keyboards. I am astonished that DSamsung actually chose to BLOCK THE FEATURE, een if we PAY to download a non stock keyboard.
The keyboard fix for the epic won't work for the Sidekick, because the change that was made to fix the epic issue was already there from Samsung
Is there any app/hack That allows me to put the power management buttons in the notification bar for a 1.6 ROM? Feel free to flame me if its already been posted just include a url, but I've searched and can't find it.
What I mean is buttons to turn on/off stuff like wifi, blue tooth, GPS, and brightness in the pull down menu of the status bar. It's easy to find in froyo+ ROMs, but anything higher than 1.6 runs slow as H E Double Hockey Sticks (HEDHS) on my G1. Any hope? I got spoiled on several other phones that are all permanently bricked so I'm back on the old G1 for 9 months till a decent upgrade can be had with tmobile.
This is a question and a suggestion for development. If I get an answer here that allows me to do this I plan to pursue and post results for a hardware hack which allows me to install a headphone jack on the G1. (This is the last feature I need to keep me from deciding to spend the money on a newer phone instead.)
Thanks!
I don't THINK anyone made this until now. But it's not that hard i think... Possibly the same like in Froyo ROM's.
There's no point in keeping 1.6 on G1. Sure Froyo and Gingerbread are slow, but the features outweight the speed. If your a Speed Junkie, try a AOSP based rom for the G1.
If you want CM FroyobyLazlo, or GingerbreadbyNomy. Both two great roms for the G1. I have 2 G1's, one running FBL, the other GBN.

Hi all,
joansl posted a modded version of the HTC IME version quite a while back which worked perfectly with froyo and GB. It is by far the best keyboard I've ever used. It's quick and efficient. I even used it on my sensation (although it didn't fit the screen right) when running GB.
I upgraded to ICS this morning and now this keyboard crashes every time I choose another word from the prediction list. Is there any fix or way to get this to run smoothly on ICS? I can post the original apk I have if needs be.
I hope there is something that can be done. This keyboard would be a great asset to any HTC user!
One of the things that turned me off and kept me on cm7 was the lack of of capacitive button notification lighting in ICS. Is there a way that this has been resolved on stock without using another CM rom? I am really hesitant to go back to an alpha build because it took me so long to get full functionality from the rom and the phone and work exactly how I wanted it.
Thanks.
Alpha lol!! Flash a kernel with bln....

CM7 isn't ICS, that's CM9. Also it hasn't been an alpha for at least 2 months, it's in RC1 which is as stable as you're going to get.
Use Airkernel or Martrix Kernel to enable BLN.(You can use NSTOOLS to adjust the settings).
Reread what I wrote. One of the things that turned me off of ICS and kept me on CM7 (I know it's GB) is the lack of notification lit capacitive buttons. I basically want to upgrade to ICS or later (really JB once there is a more functional release) but those lit capacitive buttons are crucial for me as I have the att nexus s that has lcd screen and not the more effecient led screen. So a lot of those led notification apps dont help me. A couple of responses here are helpful. I'm hoping there will be a kernel with bln for stock ota jellybean when that comes out. Will that be easy to attain?
It shouldn't be hard to implement BLN for jb. There are numerous kernels with back light notifications for 4.0.4. Have you even checked the development section?

I didn't know they were called back light notifications until this post (I had kept searching "capacitive button notification light nexus s" the whole time) , so please bare with me as I'm learning. I appreciate your pointing me in the right direction. It gives me hope that when a very functional release of JB for nexus s is out I will be able to use BLN on it.
Its cool. I didn't mean to come across so harshly. My apologies. Yeah. There's a ton of kernels that support it. Just take your pick
