Have you seen that input method?
Swype, check it out! They show with HTC's Diamon later in the video:
http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/700774
does anyone knows more about a cab ^^?
---EDIT 1---
here more information:
http://www.swypeinc.com/product.html

Yup, cabs are not yet publicly available, we'll all have to wait. And if this is going out to anyone but OEMs we'll have to wait even longer, right now our hopes are on a demo version or something I guess.
Same discussion here.
oh not seen it...
thank you!
close it! delete it!

Tried the cab from modaco on Touch HD. Find it kinda sluggish.. not so much the swyping part, but the words appearing pretty slowly.
This could be because XT9 is present too. Didn't see this in the video on Swype website. Don't know how to turn it off. Anyone?
Swype? No thanks!
Swype? No thanks It don't works!!!! I prefer Dasur SlideIT it works perfectly on my Sony Xperia X1 and on the Htc Diamond 2....I think Swype has some kind of problem to get in to work or maybe is not compatible at all.....they make me laugh when they appear with their video copy like Apple-style Brand and try to shock the world with a new invention when on the markey there is already better product. Please Swype- men do a better job next time. Ciao
SLIDEIT
Yes the name is DASUR SLIDEIT, you can even try it for one month then if you like it you buy it...if you don't.....
Any kind soul can help - how to make HTC XT9 predictive word suggestion not appearing when using Swype? This makes Swype sluggish.
I suppose this is because this cab is meant for Omnia, which do not have XT9.
try to find the setting of ezinput...
btw,this function isn't working in the cab file provided.
Statistical Tracking
Keep track of your speed using Swype’s built-in statistical tracking.
just installed the cab couple days ago, it works pretty good on my fone.

eh, Swype works perfectly fine here, but the cabs floating around are English-only. I'm going to have to guess that's not the language you're wanting to use..
I've tried both and in my view Swype is infinitely superior - it even looks slicker. I'm on an HD2 mind you, perhaps the processor and larger screen help.
It's worth noting that the original thread for Swype was closed down at the request of the Swype developers as they were working OEM only. I also saw a thread today suggesting Swype was to be made more widely available...who knows!
meh i don't like this one :/ I just can't write anything on this app
where the hell can i find swype for my hd2 , looking every where.....

A 2 second check on google for swype cab found it for me!
Swype works way better than I expected, I've been looking for a good sip for one handed operation and I can use this with my index or thumb and its as quick or quicker than my X1 hardware keyboard. This is pretty much the best sip I've ever used easily, only problem is I'm having problems where it switches back to the horrible default windows mobile keyboard very often... might have to try sipchange or something... But very impressed with swype, from the same creator of T9 input, its very versatile easy to correct and add words so it's my sip of choice, I just gotta figure out why it keeps going back to the default keyboard
Dear Toshiba Folio 100 user.
I have created this thread to use it as a place it discuss all ideas, suggestions, problems, improvements about this device. In this way we can clean some of the general issues in the Dexter ROM thread.

Applications using the big screen ?
Looking for the best (screen usage) for email and calendar.
The email client in 1.0b is the default one for Android, looking at the email client in Samsung Tab its much better at using the big screen. Also the Folio is much better with white/light background as the "stock" email-client does not have.
Any pointer to a better app ?
The calendar app is much better and uses the screen much better.
Please write about your experiences with apps that works with big screens and works good on the Folio.

where do you find email client samsung???
Using Startup Manager, would it be possible to disable the phone service or would that result in a nuclear explosion or something like it? i mean, is android dependant on it one way or another, or would it be safe to disable it?
why foliomod ?
Hi to all
mhgonzalez great idea to create this "general" post.
I bought two folio for as Christmas gift, now they are hidden .. but, when I can, I do some test.
I never used android till now but I'm trying to understand why I should install foliomod. During my little usage I didn't find any bug, I only wasn't able to open a ebook (.epub) using the default reader (and I have put the file in the Books folder, anyway) but I suppose it's only because I need to improve my "knowledge".
But at the moment no bugs where find, all the apps installed work properly, wifi it's ok and, after I installed flash plug-in, browsing is ok too.
Not only but I was able to find the few app I saw googoling around the web.
What the folio mod make me able to do more than this ?

Download the app "Multipicture Live Wallpaper" from the market, enable it, and set the background image you want in the settings. YAY! HiRes background

That is one of my frustrations. The current email.apk on the folio, as well as the calender, look pretty terrible. In email, I can't even scroll through the different emails, everytime I have to open a message, read, close and open the next. Even on the (rather basic) email.apk on the Galaxy S I have small arrows on top with which I can scroll through to the next or previous message. The Galaxy-TAB email.apk doesn't work (well) on the SGS either.
Also, Samsung have another email-client from com7, I'can;t get that version installed ( a specific Samsung version with great HTML-email-presentation, but alas, missing scroll-arrows also). I'll check the com7-site to see if they have a more general Android version of their email-app and come back on that one.
So if anyone has an other email.apk which works on the Folio, let me know.

Dear Kakkio.
Modding the most important in my case was to be able to download application from Android Market, reason why the Toshiba Market is a joke. It depend on what will you do with the Folio. If it is only to browse internet and reading book, dont mod. If you need more, I recomend to mod.
dear mhgonzalez
tnx for your answer, in a few word you give me axactly the info I needed.
Mainly I'll use the tablet to read, listen music, watch video and browsing... but I like to "play" so, after a few, I'm sure I'll go to install foliomod...
In this moment I'm installing android emulator on my ubuntu in order to get a little bit more involved.

I quote a post from "pekka91166" from the dexter section because I think is perfect for this section ...
"...I agree with one of the earlier posts on Android (especially Tegra2) tablets versus others, including iPad.
If you're simpoly looking for a tablet which works and works very well, get yourself an iPad. And accept it's a pretty much closed OS.
If you're looking for a working Android tab, go for the SGT, although I'm not sure how well the TAB is working.
With all these tegra2 tablets, we're in for some disturbing months. Right now, these products all seem to suffer from pre-release firmwares which haven't been adapted well enough to the powerful (and partly cheap) hardwarechoices the various suppliers have chosen.
In the case of the Folio100, I knew very well I was buying a product with factory-default rubbish FW, but after reading Dexter's posts I figured it was worth trying, playing, failing and reinstalling.
All in all, I'm happy with the Folio, it's definitely NOT the product is should become, but pretty decent workeable and, last but nost least, FUN (and irritating at the same time).
I just hope Toshiba will, at some point, come with an acceptable FW AND that, in the meantime, Dexter and others will be able to cook some nice firmwares based on 2.2.
The Folio FEELS at some point very powerful, so the Tegra2 should be able to perform, but most of the times it seems lazy. For me a clear indication its the firmware of the machine. Unfortunately, it's a bit the same with a Galaxy S-phone. Powerhouse, but the firmware (2.2) is yet not there to unleash the full power.
Let's hope we'll get 2.3 running on our Tosh and that it supports dual-cores. I expect until then we'll have a nice (and often frustrating) toy to fiddle around with....."
why mod?
For me the big disappointment with the Folio was that none of the Google stuff worked and I expected this from a device with Android.
Dexter has fixed this with his mods and now i can see all my picassa pics in the Gallery, my contacts calendar and email all sync perfectly. Try Google maps with the street view addin and zoom down streets, spin around, it is the sort of app that the tablet excells at.
He has also fixed the Market and there are plenty that are free and work great like tunein radio, some are worth paying for like Bria if you want a good sip client.
I have gone for the v2 mod as it seems to fly, It is not perfect but it is 1000% better.
Others have found v1 mod better for their use. Dexter has made it easy to try them and roll back and has proved to be adept at fixing issues with easy to apply updates , he can also be stimulated with his Donate button, Early reports are that the other tablets arriving with Froyo are hardly better than stock Folio all crippled at birth. Anyway I am grinning. I had a Nokia N800, ****e at first but then the second os release brought it to life and included a cpu overclock. Some have said we are not using both cores properly so I am looking forward to the next Android even if we have to stimulate Dexter to make it work again
but after foliomod I'll found the original apps ? or I have to re-install them again ? or I'll found others ones ?
and if toshiba will create a FW upgrade I'll have to roll-back to the original state to install it?
sorry for the stupid questions

Some will be there and some better ones have been included plus you have acess to the market where you should find everything you need , this is a bit trial and error but people will hopefully post reports of apps that work well on the folio. Yes you would have to go back to stock rom to get the Tosh update. Hah lets see if that comes:
Hi!
Somehow I got stuck in the Foliomod V01...
When I'm in system recovery trying to upate to a later version I only get:
E:Can't mount DEFAULT_PATH
Finding update package
Opening update package
E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(No such file or directory)
Installation aborted.
Formatting MISC:...
When I choose: apply sdcard:update.zip
The same message pops up.
Anybody who has got an idea, how to fix this?
stuck
I would delete the update.zip and put a fresh one there, check on the pc that the zip opens and is not corrupt. Ian

Anybody know a way to use bluetooth for tethering, like it's possible with the archos tablets?
I've got 2 phones here wich are capable of making a dial up connection, but they are not as advanced as complete smart phones.
First is a LG GD510 POP and the second is a Samsung U600. Neither phone has a wlan connection, so it must be connected through bluetooth.
I can make a bluetooth connection with either of them and can send files and contact cards to them, but a tethering connection is not (yet) possible.
I know in the archos tablets, there is a possibility to tether, but in the folio (and mods) it's not.
Searching only delivers solutions, where the android device is the phone and a pc is the client or where a connection is made through wifi.

i dont there is any need to compare other hardware platforms..
the you could say Windows7 works fine with flash, but my android does not..
or my milestone works quite wll too, but still not same platform...
Best is put into accepting Toshiba/Nvidia is still work in progress, other major companies seems to plan using tegra2 and then we will for sure see much better support..
Toshiba released the folio100 too quick, comparing to Malata T2 which is still not out, as they realize its not in an acceptable state, although Nvidia is helping them to improve, they have yet to release their tablet and provide updates.
I did a search for apk's to try out on my newly rooted Nook and came across this post so I thought I share it here, I'm planning to try out a few of these and see if I can get any of them to work and thought I'd post the link here in case anyone else wants to give it a shot.
Here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712594
Also here is a link to the droid X multitouch keyboard apk. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709948
When I get a chance to try some of these out (hopefully later today), I report back with my findings.
Please let us know. It would be great to use some of these...

I tried gmail, it installs but it doesn't run. Guess I'll need to install a few other items along with it. Tried live wallpaper too, that doesn't install.
k-9 email works much better for emails.. i got it off of applanet.
Site with direct .apk downloads that work
There is a bunch of freeware .apk's that you can download directly from this site:
vvvvvv.freewarelovers.com/android (I can't post links yet two v's = one w)
Including gesture search from google which I installed and it works great on the NC.
Here is the link: vvvvvv.freewarelovers.com/android/app/gesture-search
Gesture Search 1.2.1 seem to be the latest available version. Below you can find file(s) assigned to this version:
Gesture_Search_1.2.1.apk (807 KB, ↓ 445)
As far as the files from the Galaxy S: I haven't had much luck but I only tried a few. My main concern is trying to find a working calendar app that will sync with my google calendars and a working gmail app. I got the calendar app installed and have the same icon I have on my phone but when I tap the icon nothing happens. For now I'm using K-9 email and it seems to get the job done but I'm still searching for a fix for the google apps.
hey jm20,
how does this gesture app works? is it using strokes or something like that?
gesture app
It basically indexes your files then you use your finger to write a letter on the screen corresponding to the file name you are looking for and the program starts to filter the results, it works rather well and is pretty quick. If you have a bunch of unorganized files on your nook it could really save you time. If you are very organized and know exactly which file is in which folder the app won't really be of any great use to you. Hope that helps.
I have been using dolphin HD 4.0 browser which also uses gestures for navigation and it works great. Seems to be more accurate than the stock browser, as far as screen tapping on links go (probably just my imagination though) and it has built in pinch to zoom.
JM

Sorry the app is called BlueInput and is the same app you are using. I ended up paying for the application since it works so great. There are no extra features for the paid version that I can see besides the nag is missing when the app is started.
does that look like it's the same kb that works with blueinput ?
dealextreme.com/p/49-key-mini-rechargeable-bluetooth-wireless-qwerty-keyboard-for-android-windows-symbian-iphone-45604
Can anyone recommend a full sized bluetooth keyboard (preferably with touchpad or the little IBM nub) that works with the G-Tab? Or is the best bet just to go with an inexpensive USB keyboard (and if so any models with touchpads you can recommend)?
TIA!
Freaking market isn't showing up results for that APK. ARRGGGH.
And the web based market isn't showing up my G-Tab anymore in the device list.
WTH?!? LoL

Has anyone found a different bluetooth keyboard that will work? I tried BlueInput with a microsoft 6000 series bluetooth keyboard and it would pair & connect, but it would never work.
HP bluetooth keyboard
I purchased the new bluetooth keyboard from HP, which says it should work with any HID-compatable device--and can't get the thing to work. I tried with standard settings first (both on my G-tab with Vegan 5.1, and my Evo4G) and could get it to pair, but not connect.
I then tried Blueinput, and got it again to connect, and only to pair with the keyboard--but had no function of the keyboard. I selected the input device to be Blueinput, and the keyboard made keyboard-like sounds when I hit the keys, but no info on the tablet. I selected all the options/settings I could find to select the keyboard (mainly the one mentioned above).
Has anyone else purchased the new HP keyboard (for the Xoom) and got it to work?
Hey there!
I tried to get an Apple wireless keyboard working on my 7500 running the 3G ICS kang. The device pairs up, but pressing keys doesn't do anything. If I remember right you needed the official samsung keyboard app to make keyboards work, would having it installed help?
Sorry if this was already answered, searched google and forum search isn't working for me for some reason ... so, can anyone tell me how to get it to work? =)
Hmm strange, it's working now, seems like a reset was all that was needed and now it works just splendit.
Even stuff like ctrl+c, ctrl+v works fine, didn't think that would work out of the box. The only thing that doesn't work is function keys, but I never thought that would be the case.
So if a moderator sees this, you can probably just delete this whole thread
- Happily typed this on my new Apple wireless keyboard =)
