If this beta version can match the full ver keyboards available with Samsung handsets?
It is basically full. I use it all the time....I'm using it right now
-If ignorance is bliss why aren't you smiling?-
Fine..am going for it..thank you twitch153 ..
Welcome. Let me know how it works out.
-If ignorance is bliss why aren't you smiling?-
Sure...hope it can perform like the full version..
Its working well..if there is any significance difference between this beta and full version of Swype?
No there isn't a significant difference It's just like having a full version.
-If ignorance is bliss why aren't you smiling?-
need some time to practice it to use it well ~
ya it need more to time to get used to..right now its very difficult to handle..
Swype is just amazing. I was demoing it to my girlfriend and now she wants a android phone just for swype.

Hey,
I'm currently using MoDaCo Custom ROM 3.1 on the HTC Hero GSM, which I've had running since I first rooted a while back, but I was wondering if it is worth using a different ROM now? What is the best ROM to use at the moment, eg the most reliable? I'm asking, simply because I have been running Android 1.5 ever since I've owned the phone.. and it's now starting to feel rather out-dated.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
Down to preference. Im running VillainRom 10.3 with JIT enabled. Its stable OCd at 710 and get 4.8MFLOPS on Linpack.
Have decent battery (although only added JIT and got it stable today so that will affect it, but shouldnt affect it too badly

I fail to see what your sig is getting at, it seems to be an attack on villain for no reason at all. Your saying your getting around 3mflops at the moment (same as villainrom) then you say that with jit VR only gets 5.03 as if thats bad?
Anyway to answer the OP you just need to try different ones and see what you like.
VillainRom has an OTA updater that makes updating nice and simple, plus we are working on having a stable JIT release soon
Edit: apologies if I have misunderstood your sig

I don't attack Villain??? It's a great ROM but for simplicity and speed etc. I think Cronos Droid is the best... But I don't really get what you mean?? When did my sig say that 5.03MFLOPS is bad? It's marked with that little line on the bottom (which I don't know the word for in English?) But please explain further i don't want my sig to be misunderstood

Ok Keep the work up on Villain im looking forward to that JIT release
I was in the extact same place you were a while back, I think the problem your facing is trying to find a ROM thats as stable and as fast as modaco 3.1.
My suggestion get vanilla eclair 3.?? - 4.0 its stable, smooth, as fast if not faster than modaco and you get some nice cool features that seem to be missing from most hero ROMs.
You do however loose sense, but anyone with any sense will loose sense.
oh its also 2.1 as far as I can see, and its my current stable, everyday use ROM, occasionally you do get this freaky error when you unlock....very trippy, but just lock it and unlock it and the problems fixed.
Hope that helps, it does have a slightly shaky install, but if you want just PM me and I can help.
I like the chocolateEclaire. Faster than the vanilla and with all the features you desire.
On my Hero for a week and its a stayer.

Its alright now guys, all my rooting knowledge has come flooding back to me and I've been testing out some ROMS. Thanks for your help though =)
Alright ladies and gentlemen, I am glad to finally bring you the Evervolv series of ROM's. This is an alpha build, however most, if not all items should be working. I'm going to keep this post vague and update it when the rom becomes beta worthy.
This rom would not be possible without the CM team, so i give them props any time i can.

Everything should be working as of now (with the small except to the Brightness widget, it's functionality is there... but the UI updating is not just yet). The Nexus One i have has no sim card, so i can't test everything. However English is the main supported language, if google hasn't added the language support, i haven't either. This means certain apps will have no support at all (i.e. Evervolv Settings). If there is someone that would like to contribue the efforts to languages, we'd be more than happy to have you aboard.
Screenshots of the ROM in action can be seen Here - Screenshots

Q&A
Is this CM7?
No, this is a build that started from AOSP. However, some of the fixes and few features have been derived from the CyanogenMod Team, including the CM kernel.
How social is the evervolv team?

Why not. I haven't tried anything Gingerbread yet (been faithful to Rod's MIUI the last few months).
I'll download and check it out!

agree with this... this rom already support app2sd??
Liking so far. Its a breath of fresh air. Just something nice and new, really smooth and responsive.
It appears a2sd is not there? Maybe I'm wrong but under settings it said ext (unavailable).
Also, its a little eh that I can't change the dock settings (I know I can use LauncherPro and I probably will but I was trying to avoid that) because I use Chomp and DolphinHD so those dock shortcuts are useless.
Screen off animation is SWEET and boot animation is stellar.
Overall, seems very solid for a first release. I'll stick with it for now, assuming camera and camcorder work (I'm headed out to Sea World with the wife and son today/tomorrow so I need a functioning camera).
Great job and great release. I'll report back more Monday night when I get home and have used it for a few days.
Does this rom have the "wonk" problem? With nightly Rom I still have lots of problems

Great rom. I love the font and bootanimation. Wish the rom had a2sd.

OK, so after a few days use I'm noticing a few things.
Battery life seems to be average, nothing special. I hardly used it at all as I was on a small vacation (didn't make any phone calls, hardly text at all, didn't take pictures, surfed the web very very lightly) and my battery would very quickly drop to the 80's in % and beyond. Although, this could possibly be associated to my next thing.
When charging, light on top is green (fully charged) when it hits 90% battery. It does continue charging to 100% but I found that very odd that it turns green to indicate full when its at 90%...
As stated, the font is very nice too. Everything overall seems smooth, especially for a first release. I'd be nice to see new releases soon, of course with a change log etc.
Looking forward to see what is to come.
Hello XDA. I'm still pretty new to android system. Coming from iOS, there is alot of new things to learn.
My smartphone is SGS2, and is around 1 month old. I quickly flashed it into Lite'ning rom after a friend recommended it. But little did i know, i would loose the swype that comes pre-installed with SGS2. I tried the guy on XDA distributing Swype apk, which basically worked fine, becides from the fact that i could not add any word to swype dictionary.
Again coming from iOS, swype is something that i've wanted to use for long time. I really want it again. Is there anyway to get it?
Oh last thing, i need the danish version/dictionary. I know there is BETA version available to download. But its without the danish
Many thanks in advance!
I believe you can get swype from beta.swype.com
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA Premium App
Basically the only legal way is to put original Swype from your vendor's firmware. I would suggest you go to SGS2 section and ask around if somebody does not have theirs backed up.
Or you could get the version 3 beta, but that one does not include danish.

Swype warns against using their beta if you are using a phone it comes bundled with. However, since you don't have, I would try it anyways.
The good old Smiley, to make the reading happier:
I am looking for suggestions.
What could I use my Lapdock for, now that I made the switch to CyanogenMod?
Is there a good solution for making the VNC'ed ARM Ubuntu (look for Ubuntu Installer in the Play Store) work better with the touchpad? Should I sell it? Is there a solution to make remote control apps such as TeamViewer or Splashtop integrate with the Lapdock's keyboard and touchpad? Is there any way to make the device switch to Tablet mode without rebooting? That would be rather interesting to see. By the way, the CM9 ROM I am currently running has got Landscape HDMI working flawlessly, so that should not be an issue...
PS: Please do not ignore this thread. Any suggestions are welcome! (Use your common sense though)

I've struggled with the same question on my photon.. If there's working hdmi rotation on your CM, you can still use it for typing out documents,etc. I also used the mirror mode to watch movies on a larger(than phone) screen in bed.
But eventually I just decided to go back to a blur rom and use ubuntop (which is awesome) while waiting for official ICS and someone hopefully porting ubuntu 12.04 to webtop..

I don't understand why canonical hasn't leaked that awesome ubuntudroid system they showed off.. there isn't an easier way to get feedback especially since webtop has died and windows 8 is pushing hard into that whole 'blur the lines' market

Maybe they are waiting for the unified linux/android kernel 3.4 this would most certainly make it easier to port and updates trivial.

Currently, I use it for watching movies as well, and I am looking forward to pairing a Wii Remote and/or a DualShock® 3 to my Atrix™, so that I can play some games such as GTA III and Shadowgun (Max Payne *-*) on the big screen.
I was happy with Blur until the day I ran into that tempting CM9 thread. I did not know what smoothness and responsiveness really were. Blur was the smoothest I thought it could ever get... But I was wrong, and now I have to choose between fluidity and Webtop. :thumbdown:
I actually went back to Blur some months ago, but unfortunately, prolonged use of ICS can cause dependence. Believe it or not, I was pretty happy with Blur. Webtop was working flawlessly, I even had BackTrack installed, but then came the relapse: I could no longer resist to ICS. I am now back to CM9, and with it comes my dilemma...
I am looking for a way to use the Atrix™ as a more desktop-ish platform when docked (especially to the Lapdock). I believe the ideal would be Ubuntu through a local VNC client, or a remote desktop app, I just wish they would play nicer with the keyboard and touchpad...
Basically, something like a key mapper (easy-to-use, I am still unable to figure out WiiMoteController's key mapping scheme) for Lapdock's hardware. We could make a keyboard-powered Ouya!
What still concerns me though, is that games would not be optimized for it e.g. Minecraft PE, games where the camera angle for example, is controlled by dragging the screen, so it would have to be a really powerful, but easy-to-use key mapper, and since you can't have everything in life, I'm afraid I'm asking for much...

When the official Ubuntu for Android was announced, even though an Atrix 2 was used for the hands-on part, on the project's official hotsite... It was clearly an Atrix™ 4G standing there on the dock. The differences between our device's design and the Atrix 2's or the Defy's (Defy+'s) are not that obvious, but they are, indeed, noticeable.
You do know what that means, don't you? It means it is almost certain that our device will be on the first batch of officially supported devices!
I don't if the Atrix™ is still there, but if it's not, I can try to find the screenshot I took if you'd like.
I am so proud! :beer:

I have never thought I'd say this but, "Please don't get off-topic". I'd appreciate it if this gets settled in a new thread or via PM.
Anyway, you said "stock UbunTop", I could be wrong, but I think it's either stock or UbunTop, which is a mod born right here on our neighbor forum, Android Development.
If yours is really stock, I suggest you get BackTrack from the BackTop project, I don't it's got aircrack built-in, and I was unable to install it, so unless you're an experienced hacker, don't get too excited with BackTrack's features, but my point is: It is amazingly faster than Webtop, it seems lighter, I used to be able to run more than 3 different apps simultaneously...
If yours is really running UbunTop I'm afraid I cannot assist you, since webtop2sd never worked for me and BackTop and WebtopMOD were the only I could ever manage to get working on my device...

I can answer this. What he meant is that you should use Paranoid. Paranoid is a rom thats an hybrid of a phone an a tablet, in short words, you can activate tablet mode for some apps, while some other apps still run in phone-mode, for the ease of use.
What I actually meant was to give a name and a designation, which I did.
Google paranoid android rom and you get the website, the website has a much better explanation then I could or should have to provide.
But yes in short it can give you a tablet UI on lapdock.

Is it possible to get paranoid android on the lap dock in native resolution?(1376)
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.
