Beta Swype on S2 ICS. Tried it? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I would like to use the Beta Swype on my S2, running ICS. Anyone doing this? If so, any problems? If not, any foreseeable problems?

I'd highly recommend it. You just need to remove the current version first.
I use it daily, and it's much improved over the stock version, both visually and from a functional standpoint. The voice components are better also.

if you are referring to swype keyboard have it running on my nexus and s2 smooth definitely give it a try.

"There is a problem parsing the package."
WTF?

I used Swype on ICS before I flashed CM9. Found it indispensable. So in answer to the OP's question: go for it.

Thanks, but that didn't work for me...
I ended up cheating... I realized that the wonderful Titanium Backup had saved a version from mid-May that i had on my S1. Just restored that, and seems to be working..... Time will tell...
I still feel like i used to have the option to do 2 "loops" above the keyboard and it would CAPITALIZE every letter in the word, but now that feature doesn't seem to work. Sounds familiar?

TouchWiz Launcher and Widgets

Here is the apk for the touchwiz launcher. I installed it with no problems. (directly through phone) this is the touchwiz30_rolle file. This file does not need to be installed through adb!
Credit goes to rolle3k in the nexus section for the touchwiz30_rolle.apk file
the touchwiz.zip file includes samsung widgets and original unmodified touchwiz launcher file. I have not tested/tryed these, though if you want to install them, it must be done through adb.
I am not responsible for any damage to your phone.
couldnt attach the files directly so they can be found at:

I'm willing to try. I have already backed up. Do I just do a normal push?

I believe so, if it isnt, they may need to be compiled into a zip file for clockwork.
Its funny, all the people with a vibrant want nothing more than to get rid of touchwiz, and here we are adding it.

I tried pushing it, and i am not getting it to install. anyone have better luck.
(i am referencing the the TouchWiz30Launcher.apk file)
Thanks downloading now directly to my phone.
EDIT: The launcher is a little slow when I scroll thru the icons. Plus the widgets doesn't want to install so I removed the whole thing.
Thanks anyway!

how did you get the launcher file to install?. I had no luck. i got it to push, just couldnt get it to install. please post directions.
VibrantOwnr,
In the zip file the .apk named "TouchWiz30_rolle.apk". That's the only one that installed for me. The one named "TouchWiz30Launcher.apk" wouldn't install at all. The widgets wouldn't install either for some reason.
TouchWiz30_rolle.apk is just the launcer. No widgets!

My gf has a vibrant and she love the touchwiz. I like it a lot too is just personal preference.
Yes its also very choppy when flipping through screens on the application drawer....
can we possibly get a fix to that? I really love and prefer the TouchWiZ interface but the choppiness kills it, any one have any ideas as to whats causing it?

I love the Touchwiz 3.0 interface *hides* I think I will get to doing this later on today Thx!
Is this fully functional now? Thx.

[Q] Comrom 2.0 weather app issue

I saw a couple of other people were having this issue but I haven't seen a solution yet. After installing ComRom 2.0 I can't get Weather Bug to work. It just force closes. Any other weather app I attempt to install just kind of fails to complete the install. No error or anything. It just doesn't work. Anyone out there having this problem manage to solve it? I have reinstalled the rom cleanly with full data/cache wipes with all the different kernels and it is the same thing every time. Any help would be appreciated.

i dont use weather bug personally, but i can attest that fancy widget pro and beautiful widgets work fine
Hmm, weatherbug pro working better for me than it ever has. Go figure.
with how heavily edited the com rom frameworks and many apps are, theres bound to be issues with some 3rd party apps here and there...logcats of the issues help...but dont at all guarantee any of us can fix it or that its even worth trying in some cases
the stock debloated roms are probabaly the best for no/fewer issues/conflicts

I can confirm this. The free version of weatherbug FCed on me, but the pro version works great.
The pro version is working fine and dandy for me as well. It just doesn't update initially after a reboot. But tapping to update once media scanner is done fixes it

Good to know. I had seen that some people had success using the elite version but I hadn't seen anyone that tried both. I can spare the $2 for the pay version. Thanks a bunch.
Randomly there was an update to weather bug today and now it is working fine. Go figure.

After you get the latest Adobe flash player from the play store, go into your browser and hit menu> settings>advanced> enable flash and plug-ins.
Flash is set to off by default so change it to always on.

I know you are just trying to state the obvious, but thats already done.....in browsers that actually have that setting (not all have it). No ideaif Opera supports it as there is no setting for it. However, Boat has it. I dont see it anywhere in the stock browser settings like it was in GB. Its missing a few other settings as well.
But thanks

Ok...after I had gotten the Flash Downloader, the setting appeared in the Advanced Menu in the stock browser. Its already set to Always On.
Works for me in Dolphin.
Adobe stopped supporting flash for android so it might not be fully compatible with ICS.

It worked with ICS on my rezound and nexus just fine, and some people on the nexus forums say it can be installed even on jellybean. I think its just a matter of downloading the apk and side loading it by installing it with a file manager

Why would you side load one? Just go to the play store and get the latest official one.

Umm...because Adobe removed it from the play store just recently.
Adobe carries the android flash player on it's website. There is no reason to go to a seperate site. Also, if you go to the playstore,look into your account, and look in your apps, it is usually there as well. If it is already installed on the phone. No flames here... But, there is already a thread about problems, and issues with ICS. If you posted there instead of starting so many threads, people may not be as inclined to flame you. Really, just trying to be helpful. Otherwise, your handle here might cause people to react like they would in real life. "Oh No, its THE COPS".LOL

Thats the thing, I didnt see the thread. I searched for about 2 hours both on google and through XDA specifically for Flash Player not working after ICS update. I added Rezound because some phones just cant get it to work in ICS, like the Droid Razr Maxx. So its a wonder I missed that. Yes I poked through a lot of threads on xda that came up in search, but that one didnt. Its not like I didnt search.
Thanks for the reply JeramyEggs. Appreciated
And to Ashton, I appreciate the help. Just next time someone makes a few threads about Android problems, dont be rude like that. Its a good way to lose members in here. I know you are a respected member and a dev possibly and I just noticed you have been helping people out a lot. I'm sure you just got annoyed because you see it from other people often. Try and put yourself in a super frustrated and irritated persobs shoes who suddenly ran into problem after problem. No ones trying to break any posting records here, heck thats what that sticky at the top is for. I missed your post...simple mistake. I'm not going to get into rules, but I dont believe I was breaking any. I did operate as a moderator at 2 different smartphone forums for a few years so I know how it works. As for the Adobe Flash package, Im going to check Adobes site. If I dont it or have any issues then I will let you know about sending that.
I got it last night from the google play store but online trough the browser I downloaded/installed and is working without hiccups. I use dolphin
Here is the link.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ganic&utm_term=adobe+flash+player+for+android
It will says INSTALLED but click on it anyways choose your device and INSTALL.

[Q] [ROM] CM9 / LiquidSmooth / AOKP / Random ICS - SMS Issue

I flashed the latest 11/23/2012 and seem to be having an issue that either the SMS notifications are not showing up or the messages aren't being received unless the application is open. Is there a fix for this or did I miss something? I tried looking through the thread but didn't find anything specific. Is anyone else noticing the same thing?

No issues here and I'm on the same build. Have you installed a 3 rd party SMS app? I use stock with no issues. If not try superwipe and reflash the rom . Here's it is if you want to try it ---> http://db.tt/ltWpDaAO ...just flash superwipe like you would a rom and it wipes everything, then flash rom.

That must be it because I do have GoSMS installed. I use it mostly for mass texts since the stock messenger doesn't support it. Thanks for the help guys.

[APP] Multi Window Manager 1.3.1 for Original Note???

Hi all,
Note: This is only for jellybean roms.
First of all, check this link here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2079807&highlight=note
I have not tried this yet but if you read first post, it states it works with Original note.
I am going to try it when I have spare time mean while if anyone trys, let us know it works or not.
Cool-- talking someone else into risking their phone.
I tried install and run it. Looks like it works at setting but do not know how to activate it.
I guess nothing really risky since it is all through play store. At least nothing weird happen to my note. still trying to find how to use it.
Should put in title or at least first post that this is for Jelly Bean ROMs only.

this is a multi-window manager
it manages the multi-window feature in tw based roms with that feature, nothing more nothing less.
there for it wont work on? thats right, roms without multi-window
