Anyone out there wanna have a go at making a tocuh enabled CWM for our device?
Saw this article and thought it'd be pretty cool!
I don't really think we need that. This is good for phones the don't have physical buttons like the newest Nexus or for tablets.
I agree with Dragonnn it would be cool to have touch enabled Recovery but it is actually no good for devices like our Ace.
DUDE. There might be problems with the touch enabled CWM such as accidental press. So, our current one is better.

Is there a way I can get a copy of the stock HTC Keyboard on the G2? I miss it so much from my Inspire 4G. I believe it was Sense 2.1. Preferably without rooting?
I believe if you Google HTC keyboard xda you should be able to find something

I have but it seems more complicated than just a quick apk install. The ones I read have some sort of ime which needs to be modified to work without Sense. It seems to be over my head. I'm not a complete noob, I rooted my Inspire 4G but found I prefer stock for what I do. But the keyboard thing really bugs me on this device.
Try looking up jonasl HTC ime because all that was needed was 2 apks to install

They also have a kitchen where you can build a themed one which is pretty cool

Don't know how well it runs on this device because I remember it ran like crap on any Samsung based rom I tried on my cappy(aosp roms for it were only fantasies at the time I had my captivate)

I found this which is exactly what Im looking for, are there steps I need to take to make it work? It seems to have some pretty specific instructions and for a different device
I read closer and it wont work. I really like the directional keys on the bottom which the FroYo keyboards floating around dont have.

This is the HTC skin from Smart Keyboard Pro (though it doesn't look as good as the original). It gives the directional keys also (you can use them with any skin). It has a lot of skins to begin with, and you have the option to get more (from the app forum).
There are several options for lookalikes - thumb keyboard comes very close, and I really appreciate the suggestion. But these don't quite do it. I've resorted to Swype till I figure this out. I'm noticing these and the included keyboards don't come with a keyboard hide button either which gets incredibly annoying especially while using the internet browser. Sort of frustrating how a supposedly superior device seems less thought through than the HTC.

It's funny you say that; I made that feature request to the developer of the app I mentioned (which was never implemented). You've piqued my interest in this and I'll be on the lookout.

link expired.. can you re up application or restore link? thank you
when ICS becomes officially available, do you think its possible that the capacitive buttons will still be used? i may just be nitpicking, but i think it would be rather awkward to have the capacitive buttons just go to waste.
if this has been discussed, please share the link and delete this thread
The virtual buttons will only be used on the galaxy Nexus and devices that opt out of hardware buttons. They can be hidden by any dev that wishes to, and the capacative buttons will work fine.

sweeeet. so basically, the on screen buttons are put in place for future phones to take advantage of, makes sense to me
I prefer the capacitive buttons, I look forward to seeing what performance looks like on the GS2.

So only the chefs can turn that on/off, there won't/can't be a way to toggle it in the phone settings anywhere?

Ive tried the alpha build and its freaking smooth as butter. The transitions are dead sexy too.
So, I was looking around the portal, when i came across a story on the new 4EXT touch recovery for the sensation. My wife has a sensation, so of course, being the flash happy junky that I am, i gave it a go. Well, I must say, this recovery is great. Im by no means a dev, but, is there any devs out there that would be able to port this over for us i777 users? I'd be happy to test and offer any type of help i can to make this happen.
would it even be possible?? Anyone?
What makes it so great? I've used it before on my Inspire and didn't think CWM or 4Ext recovery was any better than the other.

I like that its touchscreen, and I LOVE that it displays the battery level. But I also just think the UI is a lil nicer, not to mention the double spacing makes it a bit easier to read. Dont get me wrong, i love CWM, i'd be lost without it, but it would be nice to have some other options.

It was a lot better honestly, it was more feature packed. It's one of he things I miss about my inspire actually, but it isn't important enough to make me choose my inspire

4EXT Recovery Non-Touch is far....far.. better than CWM in any comparison.
You can't compare Touch 4EXT recovery with anything else.
I miss it as I changed from Incredible S to Galaxy S II
is there a specific reason that it cannot be ported to the gs 2??

Ask the developer if he will add our phone to his project

Will we ever awe the touch cwm recovery on our phones? Or can only the devs from clock work make one for vibrant specifically

Kush Dutta is the dev/owner of CWM and we've really never have ''officially" supported so I doubt it. But I'm sure one of your devs. will come out with something for us soon or ported from i9000 roms hang tight like me.
Anyone know if sideloading the Ubuntu Developer Preview would work with CWM on our phone?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBJ7U3omGps
We need to get a working CM build before we can do that. Currently, the N4 and GN builds are using a CM kernel as a base for the Ubuntu Dev preview. Theoretically, we can build something that boots (since we do have a booting CM build) it would lack a ton of things though such as voice and data.
If someone knows a bit more info, feel free to correct me.
The developer preview is limited in these functionalities anyway as far as I'm aware

It has no cdma or LTE compatibility as of now. Gsm only. There is an extensive list of known issues. Its pretty sweet though. Got it on my nexus 7.

I think the dev preview is only for the nexus products for now. They will come out with more support later.

After watching several videos on Ubuntu, I'm both excited to try it, and little confused. In almost all videos, it looks almost exactly like Android. The task bar looks the same, it pulls down the same way, the icons look basically the same.
Don't get me wrong, I love having options, but it doesn't seem to be very unique.
Any thoughts on this?

There are several differences. First of all, the thing you will most readily notice is that there are not button/hardware or otherwise for the ubuntu phone OS, it uses gestures similar to the blackberry 10 OS. In some instances this is better at other times, it is nice to have a button. In the long term, your benefit will be the ability to have a larger screen on a smaller device since you won't have to have a longer device to accomadate the buttons.
From a more technical standpoint, using pure linux removes some of the more contentious parts of android like the use of Java. Some of which may provide a faster user experience on the same hardware if Ubuntu can manage to ditch xorg. You could also, argue that the app availability and scalability of ubuntu is greater than android. In other words, soon you'll be able to walk around with a linux device that you can plug into a monitor and blu-tooth keyboard and have a full fledge desktop all from the same hardware -- Carry one device - access it anywhere and in whatever capacity you need it at that time.
Put it on my galaxy nexus it's not really all that it is fun to play with but I had problems with calls. DNA is much better but stock android will make this the best device all day. If only it had the front stereo speakers powered by beats this phone would never need to be upgraded

And how do you feel about it so far? Been thinking about doing the same thing with my N7..... but not having the ability to use my already purchased apps and what not is deterring me at the moment.

I love the look of ubuntu as an OS, and this kind if follows suit. It is buggy as hell though. I no longer am using it. Its fun to tinker with but that's about it.

I guess we'll have to see when it stabilizes whether it's worthy of replacing OG Android
