Has anyone figured out how to use Swype on CM7 and/or why it is such a headache to get it installed ? I have a valid 'licensed' version of the latest Swype Beta .... doesn't work !
I have done a good bit of research today, after 2 days of trying to get it installed using various methods, but still NO GO !
I find that texting by typing, and not Swyping, to be extremely irritating .... HOW DO PEOPLE LIVE W/O SWYPE ?!!
I'm able to use Shapewriter on GingerShed, haven't tried Swype
probably because the fingerprint is the Nexus S's it probably hasnt been tested on it yet. give it a few weeks.
I've read posts on various threads (mostly the highest end devices > EVO,MT4G,etc ... not the lowly lil Eris) ... it seems many people are experiencing Swype installation issues with CM7.
I've read some very interesting solutions and tmk, none of them can be done with an Eris .... I'm sure it'll get sorted out before too long between XDA's & CyMod's teams of geniuses
*As of 2 am EST 2/10 :
IGNORE THIS POST .... due to a silly little overlooked function in CM App settings, a lot of issues were caused & in a simple, single option change, voila !!~problemo solved. All the peeps that were in my position have been liberated ~Thanks !
I don't like Swype. I used to swear by ShapeWriter (definitely better than Swype IMHO), but since September or so I now use Ultra Keyboard. All of these use the "Swype-type" of typing. Ultra Keyboard has SO many features. ShapeWriter has a funky way of changing capitalization for specific letters, which was the main reason I looked for, and found and used Ultra Keyboard.
ShapeWriter isn't made any more because it's suspected the company who made it was bought by someone else. The author's made the apk available freely for a short time before it disappeared off the market. Every once and a while someone asks for a reupload of the apk, so if anyone wants it to try it, let me know and I'll upload it to for you.
Just note that it will never be improved since that was the last version ever, and note the funky way of implementing capitalization in it, and I think it's built-in and user dictionaries aren't as intelligent as Ultra Keyboard's as well.
if your talking about how the dictionary disappears, don't use swype when your sdcard is mounted, and dont move it to your sdcard either, i havent had the problem im talking about since i stopped doing what i said
HM - My Swype issues are resolved as stated above, but I am always excited to try 'recommendations' from well-respected members such as yerself ....
Shoot me a gmail or post it here ? I know you can't post a lot of apk's but it seems that one is dead so .... post away ?!

Here you go, here's ShapeWriter! http://www.multiupload.com/F63JVZE2X9 (1.96MB)
If you try it and the only things you don't like about it are the two things I mentioned, the way of handling changing capitalization of letters, and some pet peeves about the dictionary, then I highly recommend for you to try Ultra Keyboard (don't remember if they have a try before you buy version). It won't disappoint!
Also note that if you try fancier keyboards like these and you find them (especially Ultra Keyboard) ridiculously (nearly unusably) laggy, then it's because your current configuration of your phone in general is laggy, not the keyboard. It runs great on several ROMs including xtrSENSE which I recently went back to from Froyo-based CM ROMs.
So glad that I had no issues installing Swype. I just followed the instuctions right from their website and viola. Don't know how I lived without it for the day that I have.
YES, I too, finally got my own licensed Swype beta to install after much aggravation (I just forgot to post -d'oh) ... but as usual, persistence paid off !
edoR roirraW ... that's not an easy type if yer not used to it ... lol ... I am definitely gonna give SW a fair, un-biased as possible, use ... due in no small part, to your recommendation !!!

Hehehehe...I've been typing roirraW "edor" ehT for 23 years, so it's second nature for me. I wouldn't want to make things easy, would I?
Just as long as you keep my higher recommendation for Ultra Keyboard in mind, too.
Hope you like ShapeWriter. If you don't like it, you won't hurt my feelings.
i just got mine to work. i just had to delete swype and reinstall it with the installer and it worked fine.

I haven't tried CM7 yet. Are you saying that there's a problem with Ultra Keyboard under CM7 so far? I see that it hasn't been updated in a while (since October?). The author's relatively new website says that he got overburdened by the success and support necessary, and is preparing a different approach to handle these things.
Swype works fine for me. A few bugs here and there but nothing I didn't have stock.
Sent from my GSBv1.5-ERIS using XDA App
Installed just fine using the Beta installer...
I see that it now automatically opens the right menu areas for noobs to setup and the skin looks a little better.
And the 2.5MB Spanish/English Only option is GREAT!

Yeah I tried it and got fc'd every time. Hopefully the dev can figure something out with it.
Also, did swype get removed from the market ? I'm running Tazz's GB v6 and can't find swype on the market.

Ah, I see. Thanks for the heads up! That would be yet another deal killer for me, unless I tried any Swype-like keyboards I haven't already tried like "SlideIt", I think it's called, or I felt like going back to ShapeWriter, but I really like Ultra Keyboard way too much. A lot of app-related stuff seems to have gotten broken going to CM7. More than what I was aware happened going from CM5 to CM6.
It's kindof ironic given how stable GB is in so many other areas, like all the important areas of the phone working.

Hello. I'm very picky with my ROMS. I'm currently on KaosFroyo v23. I really like it but I really want my camera back as apps from the market tend to lag really really bad for me and I use my camera a lot. Here are my requirements:
1) Camera
2) No lag in dialer (AFAIK Sense ROMS do)
Not that much to ask for. I really want to go back down to 2.1 and I really want a Sense based ROM. Every sense based ROM I have tried so far has had major lag when dialing out and I can't have this.
Can someone suggest any ROMS that are 2.1 based, whether it be Sense based or not WITHOUT dialer lag. I would really like a ROM that have the softkey backlights working correctly as well.
If you find this thread useless or boring or stupid; I'm sorry. I'm very new to this.
This should be in general, not the dev section.
And why switch from Kaosfroyo? There have been teasers of the camera working that were posted yesterday
XtrROM . its super fast and stable and there is a sense version

What's wrong with 3.1? I'm using and it's great.
i dont mean to say anything is wrong with it but its a beta and i havent tried it to give my opinion on how stable it is i just dont want to give someone a recommendation and have the beta be unstable or anything, but now that i hear it works..does it have flash like the 3.1 sense rom?
Sounds like you want froyo with camera.
Apparently KF will be getting full camera support and you can always just use camera magic. I have "camera" hidden from my app drawer with Launcherpro and it's just got camera magic there.

I enthusiastically also recommend xtrSense (current version is 3.1). It is THE BEST AND FASTEST Sense ROM you can get. The dialer lag is nearly gone. Be sure to overclock and turn on JIT. It's super fast and super stable. I get a score of 280 on quadrant when overclocked to 710Mhz. That is well above and beyond any other 2.1 Sense based ROM out there. It will easily go above a quadrant score of 300 if overclocked at or above 748Mhz.
It looks 100% identical to the official Verizon Sense ROM, but it's crazy fast.
Also even though this gets lower quadrant scores than the Froyo ROMs (they get around 400 usually), xtrSense actually feels faster. Froyo ROMs still have their issues so maybe they'll get that way eventually, but for now xtrSense is silky smooth (for an Eris running Sense anyway )

The OP said he really wanted a Sense based ROM. This is barely Sense. It has some Sense components left, but the good stuff has been ripped out (widgets, rosie, etc.).
Next time post it in the right place. You should check out fresh 3.5
This thread kind of comes off the wrong way
I don't usually reply like this but it seems silly to call your self picky when asking for help. I feel like users try to threaten devs by saying things like " If the camera works i'll stay on KF."
It doesnt seem to me that devs create these great roms because they are desperately seeking the acceptance of the masses. They make them because its a sweet hobby and if people really latch on thats a bonus.
I read for a long while before I had the stones to even post a question on this site. It would seem as though all the devs on XDA have gotten where they have the old fashioned way by research and trial and error.
If your going to bypass the research at least post in the right place and try not to come off like a spolied brat.
That being said - XTR sense or no sense is awesome and super stable.
I have found 0 issues with it - the only minor setback and its not just specific to XTR is that Pandora acts crazy with jit enabled but as far as I know thats across all jit enabled roms.
Best of luck in your android journey friend.

As far as I can tell he's not making any demands of any developer. He's telling us his concerns with the current ROM he's using and why he'd rather just switch to another one. He's not demanding that the developer fix the issues he's having.

Again, sorry I posted in wrong forum Mr. Perfect but I'm simply trying to find a good Rom, not trying to make any devs make me something special. Did you really have to vent off to me? Jeez. And me saying I'm picky was just me being humorous. No need to get butt hurt buddy.
I really think installing 6 different Roms counts as research. Thanks. =)

Hi guys.
I stil love my streak.
But the newer swype on HTC phones is so much better. What are my options to improve my swyping/typing experience?
I'm scared of custom Roms. I still run the AT&T provided 2.2.
On a side note, the ads (I guess) are causing the forum page to refresh so often that I can't even type the word swype into the search box. Ggrrr...how annoying!
Thank you for keeping this forum alive!
If the custom ROMs have Swype, then they have the version that came with the Streak. To get an updated version requires you to sign up for Swype's beta program. When you do get on board you will be sent the current beta via email to install and provide feedback on.
P.S. No need to fear custom ROMs. But be aware that you may have to install one if the Swype beta does not still function on Froyo.
Try SwiftKey Keyboard. It will damage all what you have seen before

Probably/maybe because it just wasn't meant to use autocorrect? I'm not 100% sure. The closest I can find to it is the "Kii" (if you want the top bar)... Or, the Google Keyboard is pretty sweet. Its my new favorite.
You could also try downloading keyboards from other Samsung devices that have autocorrect or the MOD, and see how they work. Download them, and if they give you an error right off the bat (when installing), download "ZipSigner" and sign the apk, and then try to reinstall. That's about all the advice I can give. I would love to have a perfect working Sammy keyboard too, but, for some reason they want to complicate everything (whoever is the culprit for making it such a pain to have freaking autocorrect on a keyboard) lol.

I know you're talking about the Samsung Keyboard, but why don't you just use Swype? It doesn't exactly have "auto-correct", but if you "swype" instead of type letter by letter, it basically does the same thing. It even comes with the phone and most of the custom ROMs. I know this wasn't what you were looking for, but just a thought!

Hi guys,
Just wanted to make sure i am not wrong, after playing with Launcher on my SGS 3 i came to the conclusion that it's just another Launcher.
I was expecting it to change all the phones themes including dial phone book and so forth, it was a big disappointment especially after waiting 7 days for it to open for the first time.
am i wrong, or what ?

This is your opinion!
But let's be honest to get your hopes up that high to think an app that don't need root permission can change the look/theme of your whole phone. I think that's the disappointing thing.
If you don't like why not just uninstall job done.
I don't get the point in putting down the app due to your own ignorance. I mean why not take your know how and be the creator of an app that does all that you want it to without root. What's that you can't! That right to do all the things you want you would need root.
I'm sick of seeing posts like this no one say you have to use this or any other app.
Get over it! Uninstall! And walk away!

I'm sick of seeing posts like this no one say you have to use this or any other app.
Get over it! Uninstall! And walk away!

Calm down. There's no need to get upset over a simple question. OP obviously hadn't understood what the app was for. You could have just answered him politely or ignored the thread. He was only asking a question.

Hi guys,
Just wanted to make sure i am not wrong, after playing with Launcher on my SGS 3 i came to the conclusion that it's just another Launcher.
I was expecting it to change all the phones themes including dial phone book and so forth, it was a big disappointment especially after waiting 7 days for it to open for the first time.
am i wrong, or what ?
thanks

Such an app would require root. Seeing as probably a minority root their phones and mess around with it, I don't think it would be with MyColourScreen's time to produce such an app if they wanted to theme everything. Too much code, too many zips to flash, too much theming in general and whatnot.
This app is good for people that want a good luck on their phone. That being said, half the themes on the themer catalogue looks like crap. A lot of it isn't really special in too many ways. Most of them are just cheap with wallpaper doing too much of the work and not the actual feeling of cleanliness. I also don't find these themes to be functional at all in anyway but you either have simplicity or functionality. It's pretty difficult to have both and that, my friends, is why Aviate launcher exists. :good:
Just my 2 cents.
OP: if you want to try the launcher but don't have it currently installed, I can give you a code for it. PM me if you want it. :highfive:

I can understand where you are coming from, I was let down as well...not so much of the things you are opinionating about. What you are asking will require root It is impossible to change dialers and such without a root. Even with root, will be hard to do unless you are running themer found on CM/AOkP and things of that nature.
I personally expected better themes...I knew themer limitation, just didn't think it will be so limited in themes. But hey, it is just beta
im actually looking forward to the time when "My Colorscreen" type themes are available on Themer. Currently everything is a bit simple - not really my taste. I check new themes every few days and a bit underwhelmed.
Again - it is a beta.

I totally agree
themer actually is good for those looking for laucher with simplicity in mind. I do enjoyed changing the themes everyday if i feel bored. The customization options have been added from times to time. Since this is BETA, it will changes periodically. Nothing much should you expected from the BETA release. If it's doesn't suit you then go for others final release
I see that there's some fighting here... I'll tell my opinion about Themer then hehe...
It's just another launcher? Yes it is! However it's an innovative, yet simple, launcher, which requires you one click to have a completely reborn homescreen. I downloaded it with higher expectations, so indeed I got disappointed, but I believe with more time more themes will come and one will really attend my necessities. Also I really like to customize my things, so using Themer limited it, as I wasn't able to change anything after installed the theme, all I could do was select a new one.
I have a fully customized 5 screen HS on my S4 using NOVA, why did I do this? Simple: I enjoy doing this. Although I know that there are many people out there who says Android is difficult to use/manage, what I saw is that most of them get "scared" of the homescreen, Themer is a great option for those people, click here and there, done it's simple and the way I can use without any problems .
I still see a WIP though, I am not following it too much to tell further, but I imagine it's not complete, one thing that made me stop using a theme that I liked (other than I preferring my current NOVA customization) was that when you try sliding to the extreme while on the last page will happen just like a normal launcher, the same with the app drawer, it's not customized like it is in the homescreen. I used plenty themes, they were all beautifully designed, but this app drawer thing got me in my nerves , sure, I have the same app drawer in my NOVA Launcher, but I customized my homescreen in a way that it still fits!
My 2¢ to this discussion...
And @predatorftp I'll speak again what everyone already said: What you're wanting requires root access and I think the developer isn't interested in losing a huge part of it's users because of it. Maybe someday they can add a special root feature, but for now I believe they are still busy with the developing of app basis.
tl;dr:
Pros:
Simple and beautiful, anyone can use.
Cons:
Limited functionality, themes "half-baked".
Opinion:
I prefer customizing, so I go for customizable launcher for sure.
The app description on Google clearly states what the app is...

I rooted a while back using CASUAL and was planning on flashing the Beans ROM while I was on my holiday break, but now that the official 4.3 update has come out and a bunch of the ROMs that include Note 3 features are being modified to use the update as their ultimate base, I'm waiting. The catch is, I am having a hard time grokking the differences between them and therefore making a decision as to which one to try.
The ones I'm looking at are DittoNote 3, SkyNote, and Nephilim. Can anyone who's familiar with all three sum up the similarities and differences with regard to features and what's not working? Are there others I should be considering?
Thanks!
I'm using DN3. It's cool but in beta I think. It has a lot of bugs.one bug is huge as you probably read. The mms issue. But there are other issues as well like the Web browser glitches when entering it or rotating screen you get this like scrunched stretched screen. Video player gallery does not play the previews or the lager s pen activated previews. This reply is getting long so I will stop there. But it's good enough to use as a daily driver if you use the mms work around. It's based of the inter. Version so stuff is a little odd. But I like it so far. I think I'm going to try neph. Next

MMS - I'm a bit confused from reading the DN3 thread - is MMS completely broken, or only when accessing it from Hangouts?
Web browser - not too worried about that, as I'm using Next Browser
Video player gallery - I don't do much with video, so that doesn't worry me much either.
It seems like DN3 might be a good choice for me. I like the professionalism in their presentation and their stated desired to get everything right - it seems like they are going to functional and useful instead of flashy and cool, which appeals very much to me.
Given that they're predicting their next release will be soon (they were aiming for yesterday), maybe I'll hold off for a few more days and try this one. Unless anyone chimes in with good things about the others?

That looks pretty good - is N3bula a new version of DN3, or a spinoff?

Based on the end of the DN3 thread, I *think* it is the new and improved version. However, I haven't tried either so I really can't say. Both deckoz and L18 are responsive so you might want to ask in the thread.
