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...
Does this work with the N1? I'm guessing it should work fine if you're on CM6 because CM6 is ****ing awesome with HID input and will pair with damn near anything, but I'm using MIUI ROM and am wondering if in general the Freedom Pro keyboard will work with the N1 rooted, unrooted, stock or custom ROM. It's a bit pricey too, so I'd like to know before I order the thing. Some dude from a tech blog said it worked with his Evo so I assume it must also work with other Android phones esp. those made by HTC, but I want to be really safe.
There are different apps on the market which allow BT keyboards to connect.
Keypro and BlueKeyboard are the 2 i can think of (the latter recommended since keypro its 10 bucks)
Since the freedom pro keyboard is pretty popular, I'd imagine it would work. Not 100% sure though.

Works fine with my N1 (stock, unrooted, 2.2.1) - bought it last week. I simply followed the online setup guide (the one supplied with the keyboard didn't have an Android section).
MIUI doesn't seem to have bluetooth keyboard HID support, as long as the keyboard is standards-compliant it should work with CM6 though.
Yeah, I've got mine in hand now. If you change it to SSP mode, it'll connect with MIUI and/or stock just fine. Pretty good too, for what it is--about the size of a netbook keyboard (possibly a bit larger) when unfolded. Takes some getting used to to type on, though.
I played around with the custom ICS today & I like the interface 'n all but there were a couple of problems (most noticeably, WiFi wasn't connecting). So I'll just stick with GB until the official version comes out. How does everyone else like ICS?
The smoothness and battery life is a musthave, the instability sucks, but the battery life and overall performance is so great, that I can't force myself to reflash 1.17 and a Sense rom.
Sense 3.5/3.6 looks really ugly to me.. but probably because I prefer the blue look that I get with the Blue Sky skin in Sense 3.0. Even with that skin on Sense 3.6, everything is completely black.. and sleek round buttons of 3.0 are replaced with really fugly huge rectangular buttons; it looks like a step backwards in UI. The browser is very fluid, but the top controls don't look quite right either.
Hopefully that's just a beta thing since it's a leaked test build. Might push me to whack out Sense and go CM9 down the line. Then again, even AOSP keeps changing with every version.. why can't Google design one decent looking UI and run with it?

i also created an extreme blue theme
I use Elegancia ICS 2.1.6. This is blue, stable as a rock and blazing fast. Never had any problem with this ROM.
I use Android Revolution HD 6.1.0 and it's AMAZINGLY stable and the battery life is epic. So much so that I'm almost afraid to update to the latest version.
23hrs 24m on battery, Display on 2h 22m, 1h 1m of voice calling. My best up-time before I reset a few days was 144hrs with no random reboots or other issues as seen in the screenshots below
Edit: I don't even use Juice Defender anymore, I keep data (or wifi) on all the time
I'll wait. I rooted and romed the crap out of my n1, I don't mind waiting for ics ota.
Currently on VI 3.0. For the most part I like it, it feels really fluid and snappy and quite stable. But I'm considering going back to GB for two reasons: Can't run juicedefender and wifi tethering is broken. Can't post in the developer's thread because of new account...
It seems the release isn't that far... HTC hub started working for me today on AR HD 6.2.1 (it didn't worked before at least in my phone)

I can't complain about Wifi not working. Tried four or more ICS Roms, all are fine! I think the devs do a great job!

That's ROM related.. My ICS-HTC Hub worked out the box since first leak over a month ago. Nothing new.

That might be so but it's not working for me. The Sensation would broadcast and I can connect, but I can't browse the web. When I go into manage users, there's never an IP address for my computer, only the MAC address.
baadnewz fixed wi-fi conenctivity and wi-fi calling in his latest rom.
I am using ICS ROMs since they started getting posted...I don't like the idea of going backwards so to speak however I wish there was a pure AOSP ROM with working bluetooth. I can't wait to get my hands on CM9

Hi, Someone else having a issue said to try this which worked for them:
Turn on portable hotspot. Pull down the notification bar and go into the hotspot settings. Turn it off but without exiting hit the option button and go into advance, then lan settings and hit reset. Go back change ur name and password and turn it on.

Tried it, no dice. Thanks for trying though. Hopefully it'll be resolved in the next update.

Have a look HERE in the Ics fixes thread. The work around for wi-fi tether is about the eighth one down in the first post.
waiting.
from the amaze camera failing or wifi/wifi calling not working its not worth it at this sstage. I have the Elegancia GB ROM and i don't use Sense so it is fast and what I need right now.
I will wait until there is a stable ROM after the ICS release so I can tweak and get the Amaze camera ported over. i LOVE that thing.
I have used the test leak RUU roms and a few custom ICS roms. The performance is snappy and battery life was best with the stock, non-'hex-edited' kernels, although there is a sweetspot I have found that works for me: use the custom kernel (or stock for XE) at 1.5 GHz (not 1.7 GHz, as I have had random phone crashes/hangs/restarts etc.) and enable the 2nd core. Works fine if you can put up with the small number of bugs you might come across, although most of these have been ironed out with sense 3.6 and the custom roms are always updating their firmware/rom base.
Loving ICS, cant wait for official release and kernel sources for more power and battery life
I want to try out one of the ICS ROMs in MyTouch4G slide. If anyone tried the ICS ROMs, which one would you recommend for stable daily use?
I am very new to rooting and using/installing ROMs. All I can do is to read and follow instructions…other than that I mostly do not know what that I am doing with my phone. So please bear with me if my question turnout to be a dumb one.
The main motivation for checking out ICS is that I want to see bengali language complex scripts on the phone with UTF-8 and I heard that ICS natively supports it. I understand that I can tryout everything and decide for myself. But considering my lack of knowledge on this matter, I would love to try out one that users mostly recommend.

Well I've been using Pyr'o'Ice Desensed 1.1.3 and I can absolutely recommend that one. I may just be lucky, but I haven't had a single crash yet. As far as I know, everything works perfectly except for the GPS crapping out one time. It's legitimately fantastic and speeds the phone up drastically. Not to mention how great chrome is for the phone. So...yeah. It's the only one I've tried, but it is by all accounts stable.
I've been using wildshilds aokp port. Its stable
Everything workkz exept camcorder mmms and some other minor things

Yes it's the most stable PLUS a touch screen fix
Typed by ---- oh wait! I'm schizophrenic!
I've been running Pyr'O'Ice 1.1.1 Sense 3.6 since last Thursday and I must say that it seems to be solid as a rock too and is not bad at ALL on battery life considering that fact. (Sense ROM) It gets a good, solid 3G connection and is fairly snappy too. So far, the only bug I've found in my limited use is that if you try to unlock the lockscreen while holding your phone landscape it will deactivate the lock mechanism. (You'll have to put it back to sleep & hold it portrait to unlock it upon wakeup). All in all a REALLY nice ICS ROM, IMHO!
I'm very happy with Pyroice Desensed. ICS on the Doubleshot is wonderful and tbalden has done some amazing work.
That being said, I have three main issues with the ROM. None of them are blockers for me, but I'll describe them in more detail in case they are problems for you:
1. EGL_NOT_INITIALIZED crashes when launching apps. These have gone down a lot with the latest GPU drivers, but I still get them reasonably frequently. Flicking away a few apps (especially GPU intense ones like Chrome) tends to sort them out, though.
2. Face Unlock crashes instead of falling back to the secondary lock. I have a bizarre dance I do to get past this without rebooting which is why it isn't a bigger problem. I suspect (but can't prove) this is another EGL crash since I usually find many and/or GPU-intensive apps in my recent apps list after I successfully unlock, but I haven't dug into this further.
3. Bluetooth support can be wonky and bit unstable. With 1.1.3, I don't think I've successfully answered a call with my headset with music playing (I believe, but I'm not sure that I did this successfully with older versions). I've also had a few reboots that looked Bluetooth-related. I'd consider this a bigger issue, but I'm used to buggy Bluetooth implementations (see: G2). Other than that, though, music, calls and tethering (to my tablet) all work, so it is generally "good enough".
Pyr'O'Ice 1.1.3. It's stable as a daily driver.

If you like HTC Sense Primadonna by Team Virtuous is a great option. I wasn't able to run some apps that I love and need while on Pyro Ice. I've been able to run them on Primadonna.

Last night I flashed Virtuous Inquisition. I'm loving it! The camera software is different (not better). I was able to take quick pics with the stock camera software with this one I have to wait in between pics. It remaps some buttons. The genius button becomes a search button. Very smooth ROM. Very easy install.

Just tested out the camera. Hit the camera button on the screen to take the next shot immediately. Also, most of us had that "Genius" button remapped since full root was first gained.

Thanks for the brief descriptions. Been looking for a good ics rom for my buddy.. I was using Virtuous Inquisition on my Wife's Sensation and its one of the best roms she ever used. Now though she switched to AOKP.. didn't even realize Inquisition was out for this phone.. sweet.
In my opinion MIUI is even more IPhone kang than touchwiz ... been

Thanks all for your feedback.
I have decided to try Virtuous Inquisition to get a taste of ICS.
Let us know how it goes for you. I want to try ICS but I need to have like everything working. MMS, wifi, and 4G for work; camera for when my wife doesn't have her phone; and everything else just so I don't get made fun of at work for running a cooked ROM and every ROM I read about before always had something wrong with it. Granted, it's been a while since I've looked.
Can it be done? I hate sense but love the keyboard as the stock ICS keyboard is very small. Can I just zip the sense non arrow keyboard onto my virtuous rom?
There used to be an old IME mod that a guy callled jonasl made which was the HTC keyboard with a whole bunch of extras. It installed like a standard apk. no flashing required, which was awesome. I used it on my old froyo and GB devices but it doesn't run on ICS. I've been trying to ask people to port it to ICS, as I don't know how to myself, but no one has helped yet. if you know how, you can try porting it yourself.
Edit: Try here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594642 Works perfectly like the old one used to, but it isn't full qHD size yet. Thinking people are working on it.
