I am running stock HTC Sense ROM until CM7 is released.
Coming from CM7 on the DINC, the main thing I cant stand right now is the HTC Keyboard. I want to replace it with the AOSP keyboard.
Has anyone done this before?
BTW, yes I am rooted.
download gingerbread keyboard of the market
Instead of replace, download gingerbread keyboard from the market. Free and it works nicely. Typing from it to post .

This is the keyboard I've been using for a while on my Dinc and installed first thing on my Tbolt when I got it. It works great.
That works. Didnt realize the keyboard was on the Market. Should have checked I guess...
Thanks
+1. Using Steven Lin's Gingerbread Keyboard until CM7. Excellent on the DInc as well as on the TB.
I used this GB/Lin keyboard for roughly 10 min. until I realized landscape mode in Mail is terrible. Anyone else have the keyboard take up 95% of the screen in landscape mode and in Mail? Messages and Gmail are fine. Just Mail.
Swype
Swift key takes the same amount on landscape. Swype looks good and its takes less real estate on portrait and landscape. But the beta version is having an issue not automatically spacing after each word. If you google beta swype and register you can download and install swype. Or you can google EVO swype and download that version. The space issue is not on that version, but you do lose the mic option. It's a toss up on your decision. I personally can go with no mic for now.

now I am using the VEGAN 5.1.1+kernel 2.6.32.36,auto-rotate doesn't work~
and i found that the auto-rotate doesn't work for the homescreen and the desktop(where all the shortcut for app is in there)
Why? how to fix it up?
ps:I just brought the gtablet~ the first rom I fresh is the TNT4.40~ I remembered the auto-rotate works for homescreen and the desktop(where all the shortcut for app is in there) with the TNT4.40 rom~~~ so why it can't work with VEGAN 5.1.1?
Same issue
I have the same issue but living with it!

Works here with launcher pro. Is there an option in you launcher to lock orientation? Also, in settings under display you need to enable auto rotation.
launcher pro is not free~ so you buy it?
ps: I have enable the auto rotation in setting~~
There is a free version, but I actually bought the paid version. Actually, I don't use any of the paid features. However, the program is so good I wanted to support the developer.
hey~ I installed launcher pro, and it works now! thanks!
i found that the free version can't resize the widget... so maybe I will buy one...
Yes. Also has nice extra widgets.
I downloaded Age of Zombies from the Amazon App Store freebie list, and aside from refusing to run, it locks up my NC. I get a black screen and when I try to close it, it resets ADW Launcher and screws up my background. If I just let it run with the black screen, after about 30 seconds my NC reboots. BTW - I'm running Phiremod 6.3.
Anyone else get it to work, and if so... how?
I ran it with almost no issue on my Nook, CM7 Nightlies w/ OC kernel on SD.
The only issue I had was that it slightly over-scaled to full screen, cropping off some of the dialogue & menus; other than that, it ran fine.
I ended up uninstalling it though, not because of any technical issue, but because it got kind of boring after a bit.
Edit: I just thought to include that I'm also running Zeam as my launcher, seeing as AoZ conflicts with your ADW.
Are you running Chainfire 3D? I tried it with the driver on and off, and still no luck.

I haven't installed chainfire yet, so it's the default drivers.
I'm using CM7 nightlies, no-OC, Chainfire w/ nVidia plugin (not sure this is needed, it's just what I have enabled) and normal ADW launcher and it seems to be working fine. The initial startup seemed to have some issues, but after that it worked. The screen size does need some tweaking tho, probably need to re-enable the full screen in CM settings.
Good luck
Maybe a phiremod issue? But if memory serves (it should, I'm 11) phiremod is based of of CM7. Try a CM7 sd card to eliminate that variable.
I have been running this with no issues besides a little bit of cropping.
- CM7 Nightly 102
- Chainfire3d
- ADW Launcher
Try turning off compatibility mode. Or re-flash.
IT's basically Robotron updated. Fun.
I also have phiremod 6.3 and when i run it, my screen just stays black. When i exit my wallpaper is also just black but no FC's or reboots. After about a minute my live wallpaper was back
I initially had FC issues running cm126, oc kernel and adw. Fixed permissions and rebooted. Seems to be running fine now. Try fixing permissions in rom manager or recovery.

Hey guys,
New Market (3.2) from ICS has been leaked. I tried it on my Tab (Blazaar's 3.1 non-TW rom) and it force quits on me. Tried clearing data.
I installed it through ADB and made sure to change permissions after pushing it. No go.
Anyone have any luck? Not much seems to have changed aside from the icon but I like having the latest and greatest.
Not many ICS apps are gonna work on HC bro

3.2 works fine on my Tab and Nexus S; rename Vending.apk in system/app, drop in replacement market, rename, set permissions, however 3.2 is not optimized for the large screen, have a look for 3.1.5 for honeycomb which will give you the new market style for big screens, including portrait mode.
Go to System/app/
Rename vending.apk to vending.apk.old
Move this attached vending.apk to system/app
If necessary reset permissions to rw-r-r
Restart Tab and enjoy
Edit: anyone having luck with this one I have posted..it is made for the tablet. Supports both landscape and portrait
Hey guys,
Thanks for your replies. I did install through ADB and set permissions (chmod 644 which is rw-r-r) but it still doesn't work.
As far as not working on Honeycomb...the 3.2 works fine on Gingerbread, assumed it would work OK on Honeycomb (I know this doesn't mean anything - just figured I would try).
Which ROM are you guys using that it's working?
Also, as far as not being for tablet screens - don't think that's true. When I launched 3.2, it launched full-screen with the little menu in the upper right - a sure sign it is tablet optimized. Was it just not working for you in Portrait mode?
However, seconds after it launches and tries to load, is when I get the force close.

On 3.1.5 for honeycomb I have the menu plus My Apps in the top corner and a two column menu in the main part of the screen, 3.2 doesn't show My apps on the main screen and it is a single column on the main part of the screen.
3.1.5 Honeycomb vs 3.2.0 ICS markets on the Tab:
To be quite honest...I don't see how having different market versions really changes anything. Just get one that works and leave it at that. Every version is gonna have the same apps anyway..

True, although 3.1.5 offers a nice improvement in the form of portrait mode, a feature sorely missing from the original honeycomb market.
Just because an app is designed for ICS it doesn't mean that it is an improvement for Gingerbread/Honeycomb users.
Thanks was an accident btw

I only use my tab in landscape mode unless I'm on an app that doesnt support landscape. Market supports landscape, so thats where I am. So that update doesnt affect me personally at all. Others may like it though.
It's preference. To some people it doesn't matter - to some it does. So far the leaked ICS apps have been an improvement over the existing released versions.
For instance, the 4.0 Music app is an improvement to me over the 3.0 app. And the changes to Google+ in the ICS version are very nice and makes things better. Market, doesn't seem like much has changed except the icon but it DOES seem faster than the 3.1.5 or 3.1.6 versions out there now.
On my phone, Samsung Galaxy S II, these apps are working flawlessly. It's on my Tablet that they are force quitting.

I always believed that one of the biggest benefits of going to 1280x720 is that we should finally be rid of app compatibility problems.
Anyone still having problems with any apps? Since we are S3 resolution identical now, I assume this list should be close to nil.
Anyone trying apps that didn't work before? Horn, for example, just totally crashes on the Note 1.

Same on my note. I bought it yesterday when it was on sale for 25cents, but looks like I got taken! Does nothing but immediately crash on my note 1, fully stock, unrooted running the latest ICS firmware (LRT). Sad times.
I can't even download Horn on my n7100. It says incompatible.
I think Horn is Tegra 2/3 only. It says optimised for, but isn't compatible with any of my devices.
Hey guys,
anyone tried to use apex on the note2? (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anddoes.launcher)
It seems to stutter a little bit. Can anyone proof that, or is it just my device? Using 4x5 lines on 4 screens, so nothing special.
Also the search bar from google is white, when I swipe from screen to screen, but when it stops, it gets gray.
Good news is swiftkey doesn't know if it's a tablet or a phone. I can use phone or tablet version (bought both).
Unfortunately swype beta seems a bit laggy for me. What text input do you use?
Anyway, best device I've hold in my hand!
Didn't have a crazy experience with apex either.
I actually uninstalled it and went back to twlauncher =/

osu!droid stutters very badly if you disable the internal music player (which you'd need to do to play songs with .ogg files)
tap sonic freezes for the first 10 seconds in a song, and then jumps ahead and plays without sound.
touchmix graphics don't line up with the touch detection so you have to tap above the buttons, it's worst in the lower half of the screen.
touchmix fx freezes when you start it, you need to press home and launch it again to unfreeze.
It seems that SketchBook Pro cannot be installed on this device. that makes me a sad puppy.

Yep top device, but Apex lags a lot in the app drawer for me. Shame it's my favourite launcher.

Nice, just tried and bought it. It's just like apex but totally smooth!
Nova Launcher works great but
You lose S Pen pop up (no big deal because you can just click on the app.)

You only lost the auto-go to special homescreen of twlauncher but you still get the auto smemo popup
Tried again. Get notification in status bar but no pop up. S pen setting to open pop up window was not checked. Works now.
