Just switched over from a N7000 to i717 for LTE speeds, one thing that is missing is native chinese input especially the handwriting feature. Do you know if this is an apk type of package that could be ported over ? Are there custom roms that support this ? Not looking for a Go keyboard or TouchPal alternative as I find these buggy. Thanks !!
Any suggestions ?
Wifey has the same concern as you. She is currently using MultiLing from the market. She said it is the best, but still can't draw the characters like she could in the iP***e.
We are still searching/hoping for something better for the Chinese character input.
I recall seeing an apk that ports over the Chinese IME off the n7000 but also involves placing cut and paste of some support files...
Hope we have some Chinese Developers around =)

Sougou input on GB is great and also has an awesome handwriting feature that works well with the S-pen. It currently doesn't support ICS though.
Alternatively, baiduinput in the market also has a pretty good handwriting feature built in.

I have tried this but the iPhone user can not read the Chinese SMS that I have sent.
I think a Chinese enabled ROM should be the best solution, anyone can provide a Chinese enabled ROM here? Thanks!!

That link to download the ROM is fake. It requires a password and the file inside it is an .exe file. Plus, the password he provided was wrong.
That link I provided is for a chinese forum for support on samsung N7000/N7005/I9220/I717/E160/SC-05D. if you don't know what you are doing, don't use it. like most forum it requires user to first login to the forum before one can download contents or files. btw, i never provided any password or anything, just the link to that forum.

No, I meant the download link in that thread in the link you gave me. I've already registered and replied to see the download link, already downloaded the file. The op of that thread has set passwords to his files.
Supposedly the PW is "bbs.romup.com" but that doesn't work.

Swype Voice Input Button Coming Soon – Already Present On Samsung Galaxy S And Motorola Droid X
Is this true? Is there a way to get to voice input from the Swype keyboard? If so.... I can't find it.
Edit: I posted this to the wrong forum. Mods... Please move it to General or Development.
unfortunately the easiest way I found to do it is to press and hold on the input line, click "input mode" and then select the Android KB. Kind of a pain, but it works in a pinch.
I am curious as to where that info came from. Would that function have been removed on the T-Mobile version for some reason?
Its not on the Captivate either. But it IS on the Droid X.

Well, they have it for other phones so you could potentially pull it from another phone (such as the Droid X) and drop it onto yours
If you search, you will find posts by me detailing how to do it. I even fixed some colors to make it easier to use. You pull it from an EVO rom dump and overwrite the one on your phone. Simple. I don't feel like typing it out again.

We can't upload it. XDA has banned all Swype APKs as they got threatened by the Swype company. So you need to find it yourself. It's really not that hard, google will turn it up. It kind of sucks to have to download a ROM dump for a small file, but that's copyright for you. If you look hard enough, you should be able to find a copy of just the APK on Rapidshare or similar. It seems people post them frequently enough.
Ask the Swype people to quit being morons so we can share the files directly. Or to just release a version for the Vibrant. It's not like the phone can't support it, I use it all the time. They probably want TMobile to pay more for that feature or something like that. It would be nice if they would just put it in the Market and let users choose to pay for it themselves if they want to.

Posting swype is against XDA forum rules. I have used the above mentioned swype with both stock and oc4 kernals and not had issues. What I had to do was change the default keyboard to something other then swype, ADB push the new swype file, run the no yellow metamorph.
can anyone send me the .apk of the think free office that comes with our phone? mine was gone agter flashing froyo. i really like that application for text documents. thanks!

Its in the market...there is a free version with some features, possibly what you need it for, and a paid version, which is very taxing. i cant find it in my backups either.
Email me guys I will send it to u that way [email protected]
for some reason it wont attatch
Here it is. It's deodexed from one of Eugene's roms.

Excuse me for my stupid question but I would like to know if it is supported for HTC Wildfire.. I installed the apk file and asks for activation but it gives a message something like "cannot be activated in this hardware device".. The application runs perfectly but every time I run it, it gives me the same message..
Any ideas?
TIA

That's true!
After a quick search I didn't find something familiar on Wildfire forums. I was wondering if there is any way to overpass this message for Wildfire. I am not satisfied with Quickoffice that is preinstalled and I find Thinkfree is more useful and powerful when editing a file.
Anyway! Thank you for your quick response! All we have to do is to compromise with this "activation" message or wait for something else in the future!!

I think there's an available in the Market.
Yes, there is a free version in the Market, but I believe it's not the exact same. Reason why I say that is because when I try to download documents via dropbox/websites, it always says there is a non-compatible app to view it and never downloads it, but when I have this Think Office version installed, everything is fine. Perhaps it's just me, but I find there is a difference between the Vibrant's and Market's version from my experience.
It is true that there is a free version in the Market but it is the free version which is only for viewing. I would like the full version which is for editing as well. The problem is that in Greece paid apps are not supported via Market and still I am with the stock rom, rooted though. Perhaps in the near future I will flash a custom rom to "unclock" paid apps but since then I wanted to know if there is a way to overpass that "activation" message by doing... something...!! maybe edtiting a file with root explorer...
anyway! thank you for your replies!
To get activation you have to edit build.prob from /system directory Change model and board name to GT-I5800 or GT-9000 or others model that you know; like: ro.product.device=GT-I5800 and ro.product.board=GT-I5800, save, reboot, connect to the Net and get activation code
After activated you can change back to orgiginal one
I don't know how many chefs read this side of the forum, but I know I'll get my hand slapped for posting this in the development side.
But now that Swype beta is available to pretty much everyone, why are we including the stock version anymore? Everyone seems to do it, and it's difficult to remove to install the beta.
It's obvious that the old version doesn't play nice with Gingerbread's text selection process, and the new version has solved that issue.
Can anyone explain why we're still including an almost useless version?

its included because its the only authorized version allowed to be distributed by the manufacturer, if the developer ( the Rom maker ) included it, swype could get pissed and ask for a take down. you need to sign up for an account and be part of the beta to get it.
so in short.. its against Swype's ToS and EULA. in order to avoid complications, rom makers dont include it

That's just it, I'm not asking to include the new version... just to NOT include the old one.
The old one doesn't really work, and prevents the easy installation of the new one.

It's not just the APK, there's a file in system/lib that needs to go too. Last paragraph:

Edit: Instead of requesting the devs remove, write a quick script that will remove the old. Then you just need run it once whenever you install a new rom.

Thank you for the link. The Swype beta always crashed for me and now I know why. I removed the files and now Swype works. Thanks!
I agree, I want to be able to install the latest swype. If I recall correctly, couldn't they make it so we could uninstall? I think that's how it was with OG Evo custom roms.
It's been removed from mine from day one.
I thoroughly inspect my ROM for every instance of software that I don't want.

1. It doesn't work right.
2. Takes longer than that including removal of the lib files and a half dozen reboots to get the beta installed
3. F%#@ them. Majority wins and its a fantastic idea to remove it, let's get rid of car panel, Twitter, footprints, friendstream, stocks, htcfacebook, fm radio too
its not in my rom either

Hi friends
This app seems like a good document editor for MS office and pdf, the user interface looks decent and there are dropbox, Google drive integration.
I'm curious on trying this app, but my Tablet isn't eligible for the download due to region restrictions.
Could a kind soul grab the app for me on Google Play and post the apk here?

works on my HTC flyer, couldn't DL it from the play store...
Works on my Transformer Prime in Belgium ^^
It's incredibly amazing, though also paaaaaaainfully slow... not the connection, just the interface. I'd mainly need this for Excel (haven't found an Android Office suite that does XY scatter plots!) but the sluggishness would need some getting used to on my otherwise very fluid device.
The interface is pretty annoying to get around in, since it's so cramped. Luckily my dock's touch pad can help with that. What's weird thuough, is that it doesn't recognize some physical keyboard-specific inputs, like arrow keys. You'd think they might have tested for that?

hello,

am trying to install an older version of mi browser that had better features than newer versions , it installs but keeps closing everytime i open it!
is there any workaround to make it work?

the reason for posting this topic is to get help regarding running an older version of miui browser that installs but closes everytime i open in oreo/pie/q ......it runs fine on other android phones on nougat!!.
specifying the feature thats working on this old browser and not working on recent versions wont help coz poeple who "try to help" would simply recommend using other newer versions or even different browsers!!
if i wanted to shut comments ....i would have simply ignored any replies without a direct solution!!.
Okay, so you know how it works in the software world. Nobody codes everything from scratch. What we do is build upon the work of others to get what we want. Your previous browser would have been built with various libraries that it hooks into to provide different functionality. Now a new one has come out which was installed on your fone and this is using later versions of the libraries and possibly some APIs may have been dropped. So you're trying to use the old browser with the new libraries and it's entirely possible that the APIs/ABIs it needs are no longer available. So you're SOL. You're going to have to run your browser in debug mode to see what's wrong. I hope it works out for you.
