For some reason, when I type with the physical keyboard, the characters do not show up in external programs like IE and Opera, but works fine while texting... Anyone know what the cause of this can be?
have you used any tweaking programs? I had a similar experience when I enabled clear type in landscape mode. Once I disabled the cleartype option, it worked fine again. (it always worked fine in portrait mode).
I had this happen too..hard reset the phone and it should be fine

I just thought that amidst all the abusing by various people, and asking and begging etc, the people who actually have the rom should post their findings on it so far. Maybe say what os u used to flash, and then any problems you have had with it.
I used XP SP2 32 bit, and these are the bugs ive found:
1)I have this weird thing with the battery where even after being on 80% at night, then charging overnight, both pocketplus4 and resco today say its on 95%. The light is also green before i pull the charger out.
2)I had a problem with wisbar not showing the full start menu, in that some parts only had icons and no text, but a reinstall fixed this.
3)Opera also doesnt load my homepage properly. I have set it to the athena mobile 6 forum, and whenever i load it, it goes to www.htc.com. But when i click settings, it userdefined is selected and its the right URL.
4)Theres no top line on the tabs at the bottom in settings just the lines between "personal" "system" and "connections", ill post a screen shot if needed...
5)finally, audio sometimes doesnt resume when i pause a video and resume it.. but the video does..
Im not trying to complain here, just thought it would be good for the team to ahve somewhere to look to see the bugs people have, and maybe you can try and iron them out for the full release. that is why there was a prerelease after all.
Fianlly, please REFRAIN FROM POSTING unless you have the rom.
If your device has been "bricked" by the prerelease spl, please post in this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=385148 not here.
Solutions to bugs:
The battery bug: no soultion yet
Opera Homepage bug: instead of going to a page, then settings and clicking use current page, copy the url, and click user defined and paste the link there
The settings tabs graphic problem: Solved by a hard reset. a hard reset may also solve all graphics problems
The audio not resuming problem: disable wow hd [ people said this, i tried it, didnt work for me]
Thanks to the team for all their hard work!

3) Opera homepage was wierd for me in not working initially when I set it but ok now.
Think what I did different was to set it in "User Defined"
Its not obvious but you can finger scroll the opera settings pages down to show more options
4) Line is ok for me, running RealVGA 96dpi
5) try turning off WOW HD Settings
AP4 works great for me. Other than a few missing icons I have zero problems. The battery (new) shows 100% when fully charged.
Agile Messenger
http://www.agilemobile.com/
is an example of several applications that appear to install fine, but when you try and run them, don't start. Maybe a WM6.1 problem rather than AP4.0 ?
I REALLY do not like Agile anymore. First, they charge. Second they send your password as plaintext! How stupid is that???
And yes I do have the 95-96% battery bug.
Flashed using XPSP2 - followed the PDF exactly by updating radio to 1.57 first and then installing enableRAPI.cab before starting the update process. Have flashed before so did not need to install the drivers from boot loader mode, they were already there.
1: Task Manager icon missing at 96dpi
2: logmein seems to be an issue with WM6.1
3: camera album hangs when opening a video, needing a soft reset
4: WMP will not open in Portrait orientation in 96dpi.
5: The comm manager is still only filling a quarter of the screen in 96dpi mode.
6: Device hangs when trying to open BT SAP settings in 96dpi.
I know some people have mentioned issues with the USB to PC storage mode, but i have not tried this yet, but will report back when i do.
gonna keep testing to see what i can find and update this as i find them.
EDIT:
Fixed no. 4. - Whenever i tried to open WMP in 96dpi portrait it simply crashed and closed again. fixed in the following steps.
set real VGA back to 192 and reboot device
open WMP in portrait.
Got to menu/options and select the skins tab.
Wait for the skin to appear (this will take several seconds)
Once it has appeared on the screen, tap OK and then close WMP.
reset VGA to 96dpi and you're good to go.
This was exactly the same way i used on the WMP bug in AP2/3.
USB to PC storage actually worked VERY well for me Saved me from having to download WM5torage.
I haven't had any of thoose problems. I flashed it via xp and just clicked on the athena wrapper. my thoughts so far is that its a nice rom some annoying problems I had were the screen oriention changing when ever I soft reset. soultion was to copy the toggle to windows\startup and reset and it won't change by itself. as for opera I hated the 9.5 so I uninstalled and installed 8.65 I cant get tomtom to install on this rom. but was able to run route 66. had problems with palringo(im client) and it upgrades itself. I installed schaps configurator and maxed at all the settings. runs super fast now! questions I have for the team is why do they recommend upgrading to 1.57 radio? im using 1.38 with out any problems. another is does the new home screen require net frame 3.0 to run? or why include it in the rom. if im wrong correct me but isn't it a beta?
overall good jobs guys
tomtom 6.03 installed and running fine for me.
Only odd thing is that as you drive screen keeps swapping between landscape and portrait, so just used the icon to disable auto rotate.
What about a option for no bugs?
another thing i just noticed is that the device runs much qiucker using the netcf 2 rather than the 3 thats installed on it. another thing i noticed is that if your sending a message using the attached keyboard when your typing the sender it wont pre guess it. but if i use the sip it works fine
still existing the problem with the watch, as for AP 3. The phone each time you reset moves the zone to GMT +2
I don't understand the brick advice. It is a regular update of rom.
There too much programs no needed, still waiting for a vainilla version.
Now i see what you mean by the battery bug. I had not noticed it previously.
If i charge the device to 100%, showing in the settings menu, DCI battery bar, and also green light, as soon as i unplug the device, it drops to 96% almost immediately. I can actually watch the battery bar clicking down each percent over around 15 seconds!!
Windows media player not opening in portrait at 96dpi has been solved, simply go back to 192 and open WMP in portrait. Got to menu/options and select the skins tab.
Wait for the skin to appear (this will take several seconds)
Once it has appeared on the screen, tap ok and then close WMP.
reset VGA to 96dpi and you're good to go.

Several bugs
I have installed AP4 according to the manual and it went like clockwork.
After four days of havy use I have noticed some problems:
1. On sunday and monday I had several problems with the microdrive. Several times the drive vanished in Resco Explorer or there were strange files, or complete directories were read only. Everytime a softreset solved it. I decided to flash my device again and now everything works fine.
2. I use TomTom very often. Installing works fine but with the latest versions 6.032 build 8351 and build 8355 I have problems. It happens very often when I am navigating and I change te route, that when TomTom is recalculating, the program gives a error saying that because of an error it can not calculate the route. Only a softreset solves the problem. Tomorrow I will test the wm2003 version 6.03 on AP4 to find out if WM6.1 is the problem.
3. Today I had several problems with the radio version 1.57. It was already installed when I used AP3. After entering my pin the device connected to the intenet but there was no trafic possible. A softreset solved it. But this happened several times today while driving on the road. I also noticed a problem I had in the past with my universal. While I had te problem I disabled the phone, but the connection stayed. There was also trafic. Very strange.
4. Another thing that bothers me is TouchFlo itself. Sometimes it makes it impossible to select text. Within TomTom the screen does not respond as it did in AP3. You have to press hard and for a longer time before TomTom noticed that you pushed the screen. The same TomTom has no problem on my HTC Touch Cruise (Polaris).
5. I used F-Secure for months now but now it will not install. I had to install compact framework 2 first.
6. I noticed another thing this aftenoon. When I was in TomTom te diable call button will minimize TomTom and you cannot see it anymore with WkTASK. First I thought it hd crashed but after starting it again I noticed that the program was running in the background.
7. This evening I was browsing with RSS hub and Opera. I was hitting a link and on te page was a flashvideo. After Opera had started the page was loaded but just before it was finished Opera shutdown completely.
8. I want to end this review with saying that I also have the probem with the battery indicator not showing the 100% energie level, the htc album freezing my device, iGO8 not wanting to start, Opera not wanting to start mediaplayer after hitting an mms link. Internet Explorer does, and several websites use a specific fonts which result in a webpage with very large text. E.g. http://mobiel.nu.nl/pda which normaly shows small fonts. I have no probem with it on AP3.
Beside all these problems I like the rom. Route66 workeds perfectly on AP4 so I can live with the TomTom problem. A few weeks ago my plus account ended and I did not renew it yet.
QAN
OK, battery bug seems to be getting worse, charges fully and light goes green, all battery meters read 93%, even when still plugged in!
I am also experiencing problems with the internet as detailed by Qan. It works fine for a while and then it stops and i have to soft reset. Am going to flash back to 1.50 radio as i never had a problem with that - although i am a bit worried about flashing a radio on the pre-release as it does not have the locked SPL that would be in the final release, but i suppose if i use an updater that only contains the radio, it shouldn't be a problem (famous last words!!).
I have noticed that my touch screen seems to be much less sensitive. This I am guessing is down to touchflo waiting to see if you are going to scroll and therefore it is not picking up the quick taps. Annoying, and possibly the one thing that will send me back to AP3 dual. The touch itself bugged the hell out of me for being so unresponsive on the touch screen, but the touch dual was much better. This seems to be at the level of the original touch and not sure it is something i can live with.
This is not to detract for the rest of the ROM. It is superb, and the current bugs are minor, and no doubt the guys and gals of the AP team will fix them all in no time. I just am not a big fan of touchflo and would rather it was not there. but hey, we all have our own personal tastes.
I am unhappy with the autorotation of the screen (you can imagine while you are driving).
The device is times no responding because maybe touchflo way of work.
I don't see special speed or capacity improvement from ap 3 and times speed is lower than generic 6.1
Bluetooth disconnect more often, but not sure if it is because I moved radio 1.53
The other point I see is that there are too much stuff programs for me. I use other ones and the problem is memory...
still waiting a vainilla version, if it is possible.
I would like to be a technician in order to understand the memory improvement this rom has meaning, may I ask somebody to explain please?
I was able to use the interface of the Blueinput.apk (from Teksoft) by installing it under the alternative keyboard method of moving the apk from data/apps to system/aps and then reboot. You should be able to select this "keyboard" on long press. Assuming you have already run the program with BT on and your keyboard paired and connected, (and in my case my Mogo BT mouse) you can type with your bluetooth keyboard.
The mouse has no cursor and is a bit jittery, but it works. My mouse functions as a three button mouse and the center button backs you out of a program to the home screen.
BlueInput force closes
Sorry to revive a slightly old thread, but I figured it would be better than starting a new one.
I tried to do this with my gtab on TnT Lite 3.1.1, but BlueInput force closes on me when I try to launch it, press the pairing button at the bottom when an input box is active, or access the keyboard settings in the settings menu.
These are the exact steps I performed:
Downloaded BlueInput version 1.7.202 from www .teksoftco. com/index.php?section=blueinputandroid&tab=download
Copied the blueinputandroid_signed_1.7.202.apk to my /sdcard/
Opened Root Explorer
Copied /sdcard/blueinputandroid_signed_1.7.202.apk
Navigated to /system/app
Mount R/W
Pasted blueinputandroid_signed_1.7.202.apk
Longpressed blueinputandroid_signed_1.7.202.apk
Permissions
Checked: User Read+Write, Group Read, Others Read
Mount R/O
Restarted gtab
Opened a text input field (Google Search widget)
Longpressed text boxt -> Input Method
Selected BlueInput
Pressed the pairing button on the bottom left (BlueInput icon)
Force Close
I've tried this with bluetooth off, bluetooth on but not paired, and bluetooth on and paired but not connected (Apple Wireless Keyboard).
Would anyone happen to have any tips as to what I've done incorrectly?
Thanks in advance.
Hello
I just installed 3.1.1 for the first time last night. I also just installed Blueinput from my saved APK. I ran it.. it loads fine. I then did the fix by moving the apk to /system. Ran it fine. Turned on Blue tooth. Paired my Mogo mouse just now. Went into a dialog box. Long press and select Blueinput as the keyboard (it does not render a dot in the box, but it activates it as the keyboard). Mouse works fine. I assume my keyboard will work as well. Not sure why you are getting FC. perhaps is is an old version or something. I am running BlueInput 1.6.131
@joncwchao
Did you also install the ap? I got the fc folling your steps, then i installed the app...
Did you try to install it normally first to see that this new version runs? If not, try to get the previous version install it normally, make sure it runs, then move it to /SYSTEM/APPS. Then reboot.
EDIT: I downloaded the new version 1.7 and confirm it works. I am typing with it now.
What Bluetooth Keyboard are you using? I had the Microsoft 6000, but it would not work. It would show up and act like it was working, but would only make a clicking noise. No letters would show up. Now I am using a USB keyboard which works pretty well. Thanks!
I am using a DEALEXTREME apple BT clone. Works great. Small enough but not miniture either.
Whoops
Yeah ok that was my mistake, I was moving the installer .apk instead of the installed app .apk.
Both the 1.7 and 1.6 versions work.
I'm using the official Apple Wireless Keyboard, which I got for 65.99 (WOO $4 savings on boxing day sigh).
Is there any way to make it so that it DOESN'T come up with the text input box taking up the entire screen every time I press on a text input field? I know that this BlueInput fix is (hopefully) temporary since bluetooth will be rolled into the custom firmwares eventually, but it's a little annoying lol.

go and send a text to someone and hold down in the text area for a few seconds then select input method. choose blueinput make sure you have it enabled under keyboards/languages.
program works great cept they want $20 for the serial #
I installed the game, but the problem is that I will not start. Whenever I click it, the screen just rotate to portrait position and nothing happens. Somebody said the problem is caused by the missing fonts. Anyone know how to fix it please reply.
Delete it and reinstall it. It took me 3 times to get it, now it plays and works fine. Great game and it looks great!
Tried already, not working
hey guys, so i just got the motorola xoom full size bluetooth keyboard today, adn i wanna pair it with my view. i read on here that people only got it working by pairing it in PC mode, which takes away functionality of some buttons. anyone have any way to pair this thing through the true android way?
basically, when i pair, a dialogue comes up with numbers to put in on the kb then hit enter, but the dialogue goes away after 1 second, and thats not enough time to do anything...it just won't stay up. anyone else have any luck with this?
ALSO, when you type, it still uses auto correct from my keyboard..which is pretty annoying. how do you bypass the software keyboard 100% when your hardware is hooked up? thanks!

AHHH!!!! I thought that was just me!!! I bought mine used from Amazon marketplace, so when I saw the pairing issues, I thought it was just defective and that was why they were selling it used. But then I paired it in PC-mode and it worked, so I thought the pairing issues were just a fluke. Hah! Good to see it wasn't just me! Awesome!
As for your question about the View still using auto-correct, I haven't experienced that at all. However, I use Swype as my default keyboard. Perhaps it is an issue with the default keyboard (or whichever one you're using). Try switching Input Methods to a different keyboard?
And to your point about the Android-specific buttons not working because we had to pair in PC mode --- ahhhhhh, no wonder! I just thought it was because those buttons worked ONLY for the Xoom. I paid no attention to it after the first day and I'm happy with my purchase even without the Android keys working, because a) all the other keys work just fine, b) I can type infinitely faster with the full keyboard, and c) I got a great deal on it since I got it used. But it would be nice to have them working.
Anyone else have any idea about how to fix the the Android-specific buttons or pairing without using PC mode?
cool! glad others are doing what i'm doing haha...and yeah, it stopped auto correcting for a bit...then somehow turned itself back on..grr

nope, because i had predictions coming up on the stock keyboard too lol
Bump for full keyboard functionality
lol any new updates or anything? i haven;t used mine in a while lol
Hey guys,
For 2 weeks now I got a laggy Keyboard. It's not always laggy, but often, it just doesn't recognize my input when I type a letter, and then it feels really slow.
I tried different, Roms and Keyboards and also Stock, Problem still there (wasn't before! Had the same Roms tried before the problem already) Disabled Encryption and Selinux is permissive. Also Tried save Boot. I usually clean flash and use ROM, Gapps, Magisk, + "Disable Encryption" zip.
It occurs before and after optimizing (disabling stuff etc)
I kinda think it could be a Hardware problem.
Maybe someone has an idea.
Cheers
Bottom right the glass is a little broken, maybe that's the reason? Maybe it got worse or so and now it's giving some input all time? Although I checked a display test and only my hands did visible input.
"SOLUTION"
I think I improved it by using "Partial "Screen repair". Also ""Touchscreen Repair" seems to be a good app that helps for smoother
