Swype for G-Note??

I lost my Swype when i flashed the HK rom, now that i reinstalled, i have this tiny keyboard. it sucks. Is anyone using Swype, and where did you get it?
please see attached pic. (coming soon)
thanks
jason

I have the same problem when I uninstall the pre-installed Swype and install in the beta. However, on the beta, it only gives me 2 Honeycomb options. WTF!

I just used Titanium Backup to extract Swype from my Galaxy Note. I've uploaded it to one of those file download sites and here's the download link. I haven't tried installing it, since I don't want to uninstall it first. Let me know if it doesn't work.

Thank you. Works like a charm. Just need to install it. So far there isn't any crash or bug.

is anyone in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore or Vietnam with the galaxy note? can you post me you libswypecore.so and swype.apk

I used to pray for swype on every phone i had, but got sick of the fact there was no market download for phones that didnt have it preinstalled, no upgrades for phones that had it preinstalled, and beta versions that expired.
I found TouchPal keyboard in the market, I now prefer it to Swype (has same swype features etc..) Everything that swype is and more...
(Even seems to be faster than swype on older phones incase you have one)

never mind.. i ripped it out of one the firmwares

So I guess the Galaxy Note registers as a Honeycomb device on Swype's downloader site.
Honeycomb swype is a disaster in of its own, because they failed to realize that white on a light alice blue & light baby blue background (for word options, when choosing possible stroke interpretation) is hard to see.
And on a Galaxy Note, this disaster is intensified because the keyboard is tiny, making it harder to see and tougher to use.
However, I need the beta because the beta contains Chinese characters. I need those.
Anyone have any ideas how to go about getting a recent Gingerbread Swype Beta?
Can I just re-install the Swype that comes with the Note, then replace the libswypecore.so in the default swype with the from the libswypecore.so in honeycomb?
Anybody have any other suggestions?

Oh, I see. Swype said phuck the galaxy note.

That's weird. At the bottom of the page, they say "*WXGA resolution is only supported for devices running Android Honeycomb (3.0) or later". But our WXGA Notes clearly come with Swype preinstalled on Gingerbread. They clearly already did the work and have what's needed, why not support it on the beta? That's lame.

if you can find the swype beta apk (not the installer)...
you can go from this:

I've built a flashable zip with new swype for Note, with Dragon voice input. I can share it when I get home.

I remember that hacked swype builds are forbidden here. If I violate any rules, feel free to remove the post. However, this one isn't hacked, all I did with original package was:
Removed all languages except English - everyone can download all the rest needed in swype language settings.
Removed all resources except for 1280x800.
Extracted libs from apk and put them for extract to system/lib path.

personally I prefer "ultra keyboard" than swype.
it has the swyping function plus loads of customizing options includes:
# make your own colour theme for the keyboard.
# adjust the size of keys and keyboard.
# have both number keys and arrow keys on the same keyboard as the letters..etc

^^ THIS! Thanks for the tip! The only problem I have with it is that it eats up like 60% of the screen in the landscape mode and even more with the tool bar opened! And thats with the shortest hight chosen.. Do you happen to know any solution?
Thanks in advance

Thanks. This is working fine on my Note. Only issue is that Dragon Dictate/ voice input won't launch. Do i need to install any additional files?

yeah...the only downside of it is the size of the keyboard is quite big in landscape....I don't think any settings change can make any difference...must be a density problem...
I don't usually type in landscape anyways...I usually swype it in portrait mode.
Maybe you can try and make the keyboard a bit more transparent?!

Help! Using Galaxy Note as a tablet.

Hello. I hope that i post this message in the corect place.
I want to hnow how can I remove Phone, Contacts, Note S and apps bar from home screen. I use it as a tablet with data sim not phone sim and i see them unuseful in this situation.
Thanks.

You just delete Phone, Contacts, and Note S off the home screen. Or if you are rooted and use TI backup you can freeze them. I don't think anything will mess up with them but if you get FCs just defrost them.

Are you just using it in Phone UI or have you changed the LCD density to tablet UI?

OP should probably stick with learning the ins and outs of TWlauncher and maybe freezing apps with TI Backup before he gets into changing LCD density ;-)

Yeah, definitely. I wasn't going to explain it unless he asked. I was mainly just double checking to make sure he wasn't already in tablet UI.

You can use Orientation Switch app to force landscape mode in the launcher, it works fine but it leaves the dock active at the side (still in 2.3.6).

I also use the phone as a tablet and I freeze all useless apps with Anntek App Manager Pro, root required.

It will most likely mess things up if he freezes/deletes core Android apps, so it's not recommended at all.

I think this might have been what the OP was looking for (I remember having this very question the day I got my Gnote, wasn't apparent to me coming from an Iphone):
Press the 'Applications' button (four squares)
Press the menu button (left capacitive button)
Press 'edit'
You can now drag icons off the apps bar below, and drag icons from the app drawer up to your apps bar
Make a folder (by dragging icons into each other) and just leave them in your app drawer. Problem solved.
Another non-root and safe option is to use another launcher which supports hiding icons within the app drawer, but IMO tw is best on GB in terms of smoothness

text selection drag indicators behind keyboard

This issue is driving me insane and I can't figure out how to fix it ....
I am using Gboard right now because I can't stand Sammy's default keyboard .... Plus I like the integration of translate etc ...
Anyways the problem that I am having is with the drag indicators for the text selection being behind the keyboard at the very bottom ... this is also the issue when trying to select text for spelling correction.
I switched back to the Sammy keyboard to verify the same issue .... No joy ....
It makes selecting text extremely hard to deal with ....
See the attached screenshot .....
Any fix for this .... ?

Very strange. I just tested on mine because I love Gboard, and mine doesn't do that. On my screen, the little indicators float to the front layer and actually enlarge and shrink when I grab them. Do you have the latest version of Gboard?

Mine does this. Can't stand it.

Yes I am running the newest version of gboard so I don't think that is the issue I have also tried to disable gboard the behavior is the same using the default Samsung keyboard .....
The behavior is encountered using WhatsApp and the default text message client pre-installed with the default Samsung TouchWiz.
Also just tried typing a message with telegram and the results are the same.......
However while using the xda app for posting this message the issue does not seem to exist see the attached screenshot.

I just fixed the issue ......
As I suspected it was a screen overlay issue ...
The app causing the problem was navbar ....
Uninstalled the app and the problem went away.
That really sucks because I like the idea of being able to choose my own colors and all the extra features that was included with navbar....
I guess it's back to the default software button colors until navbar development can fix the issue ....

Good find thanks for the update.

[MOD][ROOT] iOS 10 Keyboard Sounds

To me personally, I think the default Android keyboard typing sounds are awful. The iOS 10 ones sound much better. So I made a .zip file of the iOS sounds so you can use them on your phone. Here's how to install them. It does require root and an app like ES File Explorer, just a head's up.
Download and unzip file
Navigate to system/media/audio/ui
If you want to keep the old sounds just as a backup, copy the following files to a safe location outside of this folder
KeypressDelete.ogg
KeypressReturn.ogg
KeypressSpacebar.ogg
KeypressStandard.ogg
Delete the original files in the system/media/audio/ui
Go to the downloaded file, and copy the new sounds over to system/media/audio/ui
Set the permissions of the new files to rw- r-- r--
Reboot and enjoy!
Noah C. Fisher

Just what was I looking for!!
Thanks!

Great man!! I love it. Do you know if is possible to have also the design of the keyboard like iOS? Or at least the whole UI sound kit of iOS 10?

I just use Gboard with the white and blue theme (I think it's the third one on the list) with "key borders" turned on.

Yes, with the last update Gboard looks very similar with the Apple's one do you know if the UI sound of iOS 11 are like the old one?

Problems while typing
Hey man! Great work, i really appreciate this, this is what i was looking for, but the thing is that i installed everything like you said but while typing i'm hearing the sound twice. Any idea why this could be happening?
Thanks again!

Good work.
---------- Post added at 09:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 PM ----------
Much better than stock one.

Would like op5 sounds, possible?

give us more please

Will be possible to do this without root? I've a Pixel and an iPhone, I use Gboard in my iPhone too (and sometimes it works better than my Pixel haha) and it has the iOS stock sounds and is way relaxing.

Thanks!

I would if my note 9 is rootable. Damn, I miss being able to mess with the roots of the phone. :/

Nope, you can not change any root files without root access.

Is there anyway to have these files without I'm rooting your phone?

Official Android P Rom discussion

Hello all,
So I believe most of us should have the Android P update by now. I'm intrigued as to what you all think.
Sadly, the update has downgraded the experience of a great phone. Here are the issues which popped up for me after the update:
- Very slow fingerprint recognition and unlock
- Android crashes when you turn off wifi
- A noticeable drop in performance speed all round (animations are slow or clunky, apps are slow to open or to load)
- No digital wellbeing app which is a major part of Android P
- Unable to install Pixel Launcher 9
We spend quite a large amount of our time using our phones and ever since the update, the whole experience has taken a hit and now, and it's very noticeable. I'm desperate to get off this phone now, which is sad because, before the update, The phone ran beautifully without any dramas.
What do you guys think?

Have you done factory reset? I don't have any of the problems you say.
Digital Wellbeing is installed. Do the search in settings and then you can add it to the rest of the applications (there is a switch to do it).
The only problem I find is that the adaptive battery is not in place. I have to look for it in the settings. In the videos I saw of the taiwan rom it seemed that it was in settings -> battery, but in the European one it didn't. Not a big deal, but there it is.
I can't tell you anything about the pixel launcher because I use default HTC Sense.

No I haven't. I don't have the time to reset and and restore everything. An update should just work and not require a factory reset.
I managed to get Digital Wellbeing working but it needed some effort. The version from the Play Store wouldn't let me download it because, apparently, it is incompatible with the phone. Weird.
Anyway, so I had to download the APK, install, download Activity Launcher, install, then use Activity Launcher to show the Digital Wellbeing app in the app list and also allow it usage permissions. Then I was able to use the app.
Another issue which popped up after the update I forgot to mention above was that the navigation bar at the bottom has reduced in size, which is good, but unfortunately it still behaves as if it was the same size as before, so when you're typing and you press the space bar, it sometimes thinks you've pressed the home button and takes you home. VERY VERY FRUSTRATING.
One other thing which I've realised is that you're unable to use the new Android P navigation bar because HTC have their own version of the navigation bar (which is dated now) and this cannot be overridden. Another annoyance.

Sounds like you should just sell your u11+ and go buy an iphone.

Ha! Extremely sound logic. I bring up issues a recent update has introduced and your suggestion is I sell my phone and move to a far inferior platform. You really are a shining beacon of brilliant intelligence. Bravo to you, good sir.

Hi guys,
Anyone experience WiFi connection with hidden SSID? My newly update U11+ unable to connect to hidden SSID, but it is okay with broadcast SSID.
Please help. Thanks.
update:
Sorry guys, my stupidity didn't check the setting properly at the bottom of the there is setting the mentioned if it is hidden. checked the box , viola it is working now. Thanks.

although I was a little annoyed with some of the changes at the start, such as clock now on left in status bar (the rest I forget tbh), overall I love it.
same speed as always across the board; apps, animations etc. with plenty of apps/files loaded.
1 thing that's really stood out for me has been the (learning) adaptive brightness. it's just awesome!
and so are the colours. screen looks so much better since pie, very impressed.

I think it is a good idea to factory reset when there is a big version change. For small versions it is enough to clear the cache.
Regarding digital well-being, I have been able to update it directly from the play store.
I see the navigation bar well. It doesn't frustrate me. I think it works correctly. And Android P gesture navigation would like to have it as an option but I'm sure I would change it back to the traditional method, so I don't worry too much.

I was just poking fun at how unhappy you seem to be with things not working.
Post-update issues are pretty common, and though annoying, nothing to get too worked up about.
Just wipe and move on, it's not so bad.
This is a forum of tinkerers, after all.

Totally happy,sorry.Plus i've been able to use Quick step module(oneplus recents).I love the UI and i haven't noticed any issues whatsoever.Sound mods also working as they should.I like it better now

Haven't met all the issues you're describing! My U11+ is working fine with Pie, just as it was with Oreo!

Any one updated to Android Pie yet? Any difference in battery life and device performance?

About The same.Slightly better.Adaptive brightness working better in pie,giving a little bit of juice.Overall i like it more now.Plus,with Quickstep recents it's awesome

i am finding this pie update very good...the phone ui looks more fresh now, the auto brightness works perfectly and i noticed a huge improvement in battery life...and i can finally use last gcam version for incredible shot!
