[Q] Haptic Feedback Tweaks

Does anybody know the haptic feedback vibration levels in WIND's Froyo OS? I have rooted my LG G2X and installed Cyanogenmod 7, and I've been endlessly, as well as hopelessly, trying to discover and match the vibration levels with WIND's.
I really like the " short and quick feeling" when I press on the capacitive buttons on WIND's FROYO OS, compared to Cyanogenmod's laggy, sluggish response when I press on them.
I was able to compare them as my mom and I have the same phones, with her phone not being rooted, and I can seriously say that the overall feeling when pressing the back button or typing on the keyboard is much, much nicer (unless it's just me).
THANKS

Since you are on cm7, go to settings, Cyanogenmod settings, Input, Haptic feedback tweaks, and then tap on set down pattern. After that you can adjust your settings to the way you want, I have 0 5 7 19. I haven't been on froyo since april so I don't remember how that froyo haptic feedback feels like. You can also always test the way it feels before you apply. Make sure to tell me what your settings u changed it too.

Thanks, I changed the values to the ones you gave me. However, it still doesn't feel the same, I just compared it to my mom's phone again. xD Is this just a problem with the ROM? Because in stock ROMs like Weapon G2X or XboarderMod it has the same nice, quick feeling as WIND's Froyo, but there is no option to tweak the haptic feedback vibrations. THANKS THO!

Well since you have your Mom's phone next to you maybe you can try different values until u finally match the one and then post your findings? I don't have another g2x that i can compare it to.

I agree I hate the super vibrations shouldn't feel like that IMO.

I thought I was the only one that didn't like that, what value levels do you use?

Try setting to hardware defaults perhaps?

Yeup, I don't like it I think I remember somewhere (otherwise I must have dreamt reading it) that it is just Cyanogenmod's laggy feedback, or something like that. And I've tried to match it soo many times. In CM7, adding more levels ("steps in the sequence") make it even worse as you can actually feel each separate vibration.

The defaults are so bad IMO. I can feel this long vibration on my entire phone every time I press the back button or type on the keyboard.

Not sure why bit all of a sudden yesterday (not sure if it was after a reboot or not) but the haptic feedback is very weak now almost perfect a whole bunch better and close to stock feel now. When I type it is actually nice lol, and my friends don't make fun if the "buzz". But ya try it out the first one is the one I changed press the minus button twice and then change it to the number that I have selected if you would like. Just so people know I can not seem to get back to the old feel or any different from what it feels like now, just a heads up... I don't want to flash the latest nightly cause I'm so happy with the haptic feedback lol.

[APP] SwiftKey 3 Beta

Has anyone tried out the Beta of the keyboard? I just downloaded it and I have to say, i've never typed faster (although I've only typed out one Twitter post with it and nothing else).
I'll leave my impressions of it after i use it more!

The beta is awesome! I keep trying to put in question marks but keep forgetting that they combined question/exclamation/period to 1 key now .
I am thoroughly enjoying the larger spacebar. I don't miss now.

I always had a problem with SwiftKey X and hitting "b" onstead of the space bar but that problem is gone now. I'd like to see a then engine implemented though, as well as a comme button instead of the SwiftKey Settings button.
And i dont't know what it is about SwiftKey and I but it never seems to autocorrect for me. It's not that it corrects improperly, it just doesn't do it.

I've never used SwiftKey before, but I hit up the beta and this thing is fast. Might have to buy it once it's out of beta.

From what I can see it doenst autocorrect but does give the option to select the proper word. If its not doing that re-run the setup and choose to have it use autocorrect instead of you selecting the corrected word.

I just picked rapid instead of precision and it auto corrects for me.

Huh? 40chars

Miss some old features
I really miss having dedicated push and hold comma and exclamation keys. Speed up some areas and slow down others. With press and hold delay set really low I could fly on the old version. Also still pretty laggy on ics. I am going to try task650 AOKP latest release to see if there is any lag improvement because it is bad enough right now to have me looking at alternatives...
Oh, and it appears that 'long press duration' is no longer an available option. Hopefully it will get added back after beta.

Set spacebar to "always insert center prediction" that is the closest to auto correct since version 1.

Well I am happy to report that with the new beta, comma IS back, and I love the location, long press duration has improved speed of accessing secondary characters, and lag has been GREATLY minimized on ICS. So far even the beta is a keeper! Oh, and no more double and triple back swipes to delete a word. That was driving me crazy...

Ive gotta say, the previous release was a lot better than this one for me. I feel as though my typing is less accurate than it was before, and i feel as though the dedicated comma is slightly unnecessary. Also, the update seems to have broken my autocorrections

Try changing from rapid to precise or vice versa. Strangely in they seemed to work opposite for me. Rapid in the old version feels like precise in the new one. I switched to the old version after a rom upgrade over the weekend and forgot how fast it was. I am still waiting for the new version to come out of beta. The swipe punctuation is a bad step IMO.

Has anyone figured out what causes the keyboard to stop working in messaging?
I can hit the first letter, and the keyboard will bring up predictions for what I press, but it won't enter any text into the field.
To fix it, I have to back out of the conversation and return to it to be able to type again.
It does it with all keyboards, too.
I can't exactly figure out what causes it to stop working. Before I thought it was locking the phone in the middle of typing, because it would sometimes be unresponsive after unlocking, but I've also had it be fine after unlocking, and I've also had it stop responding in the middle of me typing.
That's the only issue I've had with AKOP, apart from the wifi toggling thing, but that's a well-known bug.

I have been getting a little less battery life with ics...but nothing shocking. I get anywhere from 10 to 16 hours...but that is the same I have been getting with gb...even froyo. I do a lot of reading and listening to the radio...and I always have a charger near by for those occasions when the battery gulps instead of sips.

OK, maybe a dumb question. Coming from GB Roms, I am use to "My Files". On this ROM where do I find something that works the same, or what is the format?

Great news. Thanks! I haven't been using SK because of it.

It's been about time for this. I made my note 3 showing the change input method thingy in the notification bar just for that reason. Let's just hope that the update is coming soon.

Every keyboad must have dedicated numeric pad just like sammy keyboard. It feels annoying when you have to press extra buttons to get the numeric pad. Thats the main reason I am using sammy keyboard.

Very good. With screens this big there really is no reason that the option shouldn't be there. Not everyone wants the dedicated number row, but many do. If Swiftkey implement this their userbase will grow, I am sure lots of people refrain from using SK because it lacks the number row.

Oh great, more keys to accidentally hit. :silly: The arrows bar is my best friend and my worst enemy at the same time....

With that '123 key' you type >press 123 key> type number >press key again to get back to typing. If thats cool with you, more power to ya. The point for many is not having to do all that. It's not the smooth flow of using a keyboard with a dedicated number row.

Nice. Now if they could implement the swype to move the cursor, like Samsung keybord, that would be perfect.
Anyway, can't use Samsung keyboard because of the long press to get to exclamation points/etc. It takes to much time. And the swype option is very slow compared to SwiftKey Flow feature.
