The XDA keyboard is great an all, but I've really loved the AOSP Keyboard on the older DarchLegend roms. I don't see it on any of his new roms, and i can't find an .apk for it.
I've searched for awhile, no luck. Anyone know where it's at?
are you talking about the OEM android keyboard? if so then i second that. i'd love to find out how to get the keyboard back. i hate the htc keyboard with a passion
Yeah. The HTC keyboard, and our version of it, arent great. I also find them very laggy at times; I have to type very slowly and deliberately, which isn't cool.
This should work, just flash from recovery.

EDIT: Works with latest Sprint Leak, but also works with old Legend leak.
So try it on the new
Perfect, thanks!
So I flashed this keyboard and it shows up under my Keyboard settings but the HTC Keyboard still shows up when I want to type. Is there something I'm missing? I'm using a flashed version of the Sprint 2.1 leak.

Awesome, thanks a bunch. I've only had the phone for a week. Learn something new every day hehe
I tried out this keyboard, and it's no faster than the HTC keyboard. Swype seems like the only input method that isn't ridiculously laggy on this phone.

Not in my experience. With the sound and vibration off, it's just as fast as the sense keyboard with sound and vibration off, same goes for them both on. Also, it keeps giving me nonsensical autocorrections. It tries to correct common words like "an" to "Android".

this keyboard makes my life a lot easier
what i'm really interested in is how to do it for future apps?
It seems that alot of cooks are cooking in the XDA Sense keyboard and I have found it extremely laggy. Glad I found this to install. Thanks.
When I installed the AOSP keyboard, the a and l both have gaps on the side of them and are transparent, is there any way to fix this?
Using the keyboard in Darchdroid has made me like my phone again. The HTC keyboard is so painfully laggy its mindnumbing. The stock Android keyboard is instant and accurate, love it.

Same here. I have been using it for awhile and I like it alot more. The keys are smaller which as I get more accurate I have found I can type faster than on the htc keyboard.
Many of you may have noticed that Fire's touchscreen can be a little sluggish, this is particularly noticeable in some games, drawing apps etc however I using the following app. this can be reduced:

Obviously this can be 'engineered out' in later firmware updates or via custom ROMs etc.
do you have any suggestions on the settings?

I went with the Super-Optimized settings, although you may need to tweak the Sensitivity depending on the moisture in your fingers.
Wow, seems to be much better instantly! Love this, thanks!

Ditto on that from me!
Sounds interesting. I like how it said it was made for galaxy s, thats my phone and I never had a problem with that.
I honestly cannot tell the difference with it set to super-optimized, and auto-set every 5 minutes.
The small difference I feel like it's a placebo effect >.>.
I noticed keyboard and menu/back responsiveness went near perfect immediately. I was having trouble with the menu and back buttons reading properly. They'd flash as though I pressed them but nothing would actually happen. Now they work every time.

Not sure if this is necessary after the 6.2 update, everything seems much snappier since then...
Agree jolars there was an improvement in responsiveness with 6.2.
I concur, button presses are more responsive. I think at this point, this is pretty much the only fix they made in 6.2 (some folks say that Silk is faster but I don't use it, so can't confirm), however, without a readme, it's hard to tell exactly what else they did.
Amazing!
Wow! I was not expecting this to work so well!! I wish I'd known about it sooner! Thanks! So much control!
The 6.2 Update only made a minimal difference for me. I still have bouts of quadruple button pressing going on, albeit more rare than before.

This is a fantastic app! I'd love to see this concept expanded into more weather and eventually a weather app.. Rain falling would be amazing! Quick note, while it runs on ICS the settings screen is tiny and not usable.

Hi,
Try to uninstall and reinstall the app. I have noticed a bug happening from time to time on the free version - in the next update I will fix this and also add the option to switch from shake mode to continuous mode.
Plese let me know if reinstalling it fixes the bug.
Thanks for the feedback.

Actually I've spend a good amount of time on finding and applying different optimisations to lower the stress of rendering the overlayed snowflakes; from what I've noticed, on most phone models I tested the app on, the battery drain is barely noticeable. Of course, I have only tested it on a limited number of phones. Could't get my hands on the T989 to test on
Also the battery drain depends a lot on device model, number of snowflakes, if the timeout of the snow is set or it is running continuously, etc. etc.
I still got some improvements on the "menu" for the next update.
Thanks for the feedback!

I've been testing different configurations to see what works best, and this is what I've found.
I get the most optimal performance and least battery drain when set to run continuously, (shake turned off, no time out). It barely affects battery life although it still shows a high percentage in the battery stats - higher than the display, Android system, etc. but the actual battery drain doesn't seem excessive (weird..)
In any other setting, even with shake on, the system kills it after awhile (the notification icon disappears and everything) when the phone is locked/screen blacked out for more than what seems like ten minutes or so. The app then appears to "not work"but it is in fact just closed by the system.

I sucessfully installed jellybean but I can't seem to change the lcd density..
I have in my build.prop ro.sf.lcd_density=160 and nothing happens.. I still have it set to the original, 240.
I noticed theres a new options in jellybean's build.prop ro.sf.override_null_lcd_density=1, I commented this out and also set it to 0, but still no go.
Any ideas? I've tried various apps and they all have no effect
uh, I may be wrong, but how is you changing a setting going to have a physical change on the hardware that's in your tablet?

It's NOT a physical change - Changing the LCD DPI Density has been a method used on most versions of Android for years. What rock have YOU been under?
Yep. Same here. Can't find a way to get 160 back to life.
This is pretty much a worst thing Asus could do to us. Or is it JB thing?
Don't know, but i'll try to find a solution to this as i just can't look at 240 density after using 160 for so long.
Oversized icons are really not nice :cyclops:
Hmm this might have something to do with my sensitivity issues too. Before in a certain game I could rapidly tap a button and it would go through. Now on JB it's not registering my rapid taps and I have to tap slower. Looking all over the place for a solution!

I'm on CM 10(JB 4.1.1.) and DPI change works through the build.prop without any problems. I wonder if Asus did something to block this in latest update..
Could it be related to the kernel not supporting it?
I mean, they probably changed kernel, so maybe they didn't include this in the final release.
Why is beyond me and my understanding of their logic.
I hope this is not the case.
hm.. this is hard to get used to 240 again. i hope theres a way around this

It tricks Android into making each pixel smaller. Which means all your icons, text, etc shrink on the screen. This gives you more room on your screen and makes mostly everything look a hell of a lot better. If you do a search for DPI on the general forum, you will find a thread about DPI with screen shots that show you the difference.

Why not just try out a custom Rom? At the Moment Baked BlackBean 4 and unofficial CM10 10/1 versions work very well and give you all kinds of settings and tweaks to work with as well as theme chooser. The only thing that isn't working (well or at all) is GPS and I expect that will be fixed in short order, now that the official TF700 JB update is out.

Don't get me wrong, I used CM9 on my TF101 and use it on my phone, BUT I like a stable ROM with barely any noticable issues as I really do use just about everything on my devices, including the GPS. For now, until the custom roms make a bit more headway, I'm not going to switch.
Any luck?
Bump on this topic, no go on lcd mods in build.prop
REALLY would like to go back to 160...i may downgrade if there is no workaround...
I can also confirm lcd changer apps dont work either, got soft brick with one and the others didnt change anything
Agreed, any news?
Has anyone contacted Asus about it and asked?
Or, has anyone tested DPI changes on other Jelly Bean devices such as the Nexus 7 and seen if it works there (which would indicate Asus intentionally disabled it)?

That proves that ASUS disabled it I'm still unable to unlock.. I need to switch to custom roms soon; I can't stand the default dpi
During my Nexus 5x days, my daily driver was Pure Nexus, and one of my favorite features was the ability to enable/disable the flashlight/torch via holding the power button (with the screen off mainly).
I know PN is available for the Pixel right now, but I'm trying to stick with Stock for as long as I can so I can take OTA's. Does anyone know how to get the same torch functionality? I am currently rooted and have found several non-root apps that allow 3 taps of the power button to enable torch...but it's not the same thing as being able to long-press with the screen off! I liked being able to take my phone out of my pocket, hold the power button to enable torch, then tap the power button one more time to disable...all without turning on the screen.
Thanks all in advance for your help!
Did you ever find something? I miss that I could do that on my n5x too.
Maybe not exactly what you are looking for but I am loving Torchie right now. It has brought one of the best and simplest things from custom roms. It tends to be a bit of a power hog when enabling use with the screen off, but I have found it is pretty easy to manage. Non-root as well.
I wish Android would add this feature as stock it's such a useful feature
Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
I ended up biting the bullet and going to Pure Nexus. It has been rock solid for me, and this feature among others make it well worth the effort and few nuances there are. I will agree, though, it would have made it a tougher decision to move away from stock if Google had this feature built-in!

I've been with pure Nexus every step of the way with this pixel and bless that guy's heart for continuing the good work that he's been doing.
but like you I want Oreo now and a way to activate the flash light just by holding down the power button when the screen is off
Honestly this was really the only reason that I stayed on pure Nexus for so long and one of the main reasons that I actually root in my pixel in the first place for. This is one of the most convenient modifications I've ever ran across and I actually use it every single day for so many different things. I just upgraded to Android 8.0 Oreo and am horrified that there is no simple solution for this on Oreo yet. Could somebody please implement this into Oreo somehow on the system level, possibly within the kernel or something of that nature?
Just wanted to give an update. I found button mapper with root seems to work great with volume down for the flashlight. It seems to break a couple things though
(volume down to take picture and DND mode) and I need to contact the developer. It works great for turning on and off the flashlight though with screen off or on. (requires root).

First of all, I'm glad some of you are resurrecting this post. Maybe someone much smarter than me can explain how the developer of Pure Nexus is able to implement this? These developers never ceases to amaze me in what they can add on the front of functionality...but is it not possible to develop (again, someone much smarter than me) a flashable zip to implement this?
I like how much Google continues to add in to stock Android on customization and features that we used to have to root for. This flashlight mod would almost certainly keep me on stock...
