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.

I enabled "curve" but cannot swipe to enter something. How did you do it?

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.

Here it is: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7655681/Swype.WXGA.v3.26.92.37556.En.CWM.zip
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?!

OK, I'm interested.. how exactly?
I would like to use as a wallpaper this icon :
http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=548477convapplicationlaunchermms.png
Is there some software to do that ?

Can you not just save the file and convert to jpg if required?
Exactly. Just download the pic and put it into your phone. Choose the file in your wallpapers settings and you are done. An icon is just a smaller version of a picture, it's not any different from a normal wallpaper file.
But I'm afraid that there will be a lot of pixel
up
not sure what the problem is. Download the image. Its already in png format(which is good since it supports transparency, and is optimal for icons)
Then use a launcher like apex or nova to change the icon of your desired app to the one you downloaded. Also its 96x96 pixels so nothing needs to be resized.

I want to use the picture as a wallpaper. But I can't find the wallpaper that's why I would like to know if I can take the icon and transform it in wallpaper with no pixels.
well...

It is physically impossible to stretch this small image without it ending up being distorted by the small number of original pixels in the picture. I am sorry, but you are going to have to use an image like this:
(Argh, still no outside links, so the link looks like this

Hope you like this one just as much!

I can't open the link but I understand what you mean. I just hoped that maybe a software manages to do that. I give up !

You can't open the link because I put some "spaces" in there so I could post it here. xda does not allow new members to post outside links, only if they have over 10 posts on the forums. so just copy the link and look for the 2 or 3 spaces I put in there, delete them and look at the picture, because I think I found something really close to what you are looking for!
And there is no software that manages to do that. There is a feature on Photoshop or similar software that I know of that is able to reduce pixelation although it is not as good as you might think and it definitely can't make a small picture like this into a usable wallpaper...
Yes I forgot a space ! It's closed but not the same. Thank you for your help

Sure thing my friend. Next time hit the thanks button in my post though, cause I guess that's what it's there for...
Hello everyone!
Just installed KangVIP ROM which is really awesome.
But I have a small thing, maybe not ROM related:
Some is in Chinese.
At first, the lockscreen. "swipe to unlock" and the year of date is in Chinese. Additionally the magazine description (attachment).
Then there is something in Chinese in the notification bar when I swipe down.
Any idea how to remove it?
I already had it with vanilla ROM, so I think another wipe won't help.
Many thanks in advance!
K Settings / Lockscreen and desktop settings / switch off the Lunar stuff.
K Settings / Notification settings / switch off Lunar stuff.
If any Chinese lockscreen wallpapers during wake still exist: delete these when they show up (pull up / delete).
Perfect!
That helped! Many thanks!

Hi Pfeffernuss,
Do you mean to tell us that we should delete the picture ?

Yes, some wallpapers contain Chinese descriptions. Deleting these (usually one is enough) will/should remove the Chinese texts on the lockscreen.
You can simply add wallpapers you like yourself anyway :good:

Ok but if you like the picture with chinese texts and don't want to remove it, you can edit exif data in picture's file and remove chinese texts

True, although this was the easier solution without having to explain what Exif is and how to edit that
well, the Chinese year in every date was more annoying
...or whatever it was.

Since only fonts from Monotype Imaging work, I searched for fonts from that company and these do work:
https://m.downloadatoz.com/developer/monotype-imaging-inc/
They try to get you to install some downloader on your phone, which I didn't want to, but if you wait a few seconds there is a "click here if your download doesn't start automatically" button that works. They then try to make you post a recommendation to Twitter before downloading, but you can open and close that window (without posting anything) and it works.
These are the same fonts as available for purchase in the Galaxy Apps store, but they're free.

To direct download from link above, do the following, replace the font name I picked TETRA with the font name you want from "downloadatoz" list.
Example:
https*://w.downloadatoz.com/TETRA-flipfont/com.monotype.android.font.TETRA/direct-download-apk.html[/url]
NOTE: remove the asterisk * it was only there to stop auto formatting of url !
Working example:
https://m.downloadatoz.com/tetra-flipfont/com.monotype.android.font.tetra/direct-download-apk.html
If your font name has a space ignore it "comic sans" becomes "comicsans". Please never use comic sans for *anything*.
Then you have the apk you want no downloader/Twitter just apk. Why not post them here for others to share?
Keep smashing !!

The theme store isn't supported on UK devices due to legal concerns, it's unclear whether this will change in the future, Oppo are very new to European markets so they're being as safe as possible in this regard

Yes, just download from the Chinese site, then install the .apk & it'll be English, you'll also have some updates for your factory apps
