I believe GravityBox is also capable of this.

Google search widget please help

I cant remove this from my home screen. I dont get the usual options when i press and hold. Any suggestions?

I've noticed sometimes my Google widget moves on the display often even overlapping other widgets. When it does I have to press where it used to be to recognize a screen tap. Are you able to use the widget? If not, try tapping somewhere else on the screen?!

[Q] Official Dell 2.2 - Swype

Hi guys,
Now that Dell have bundled Swype with their new 2.2, I was wondering if we would be able to get updates and stuff for Swype? In the past, I've had a go on versions of swype that had an extra page that would have a full arrow pad (really missing the arrow keys and NUM pad in 2.2) as well as CUT and PASTE buttons which I thought was amazing, so ultimately I'm hoping we could get something similar for 2.2. So would it be possible to get updates of Swype or is there a way of modding the one now to have this extra page of buttons?
Cheers
Swype from the swype button, bottom left, to the SYM key next to it.

WOW, I could I have missed that? lol
I missed having the arrow key on the old keyboard too. Didnt care very much for the number pad however. This is perfect.
Thank you.
Touch the SYM button, then hold the ABC button that it turns into will give you a keypad.

Wow....thanks p_razzi, I knew about the page with the keypad but I did not know about Swyping the Swype icon and SYM. Thanks dude!
can someone extract the apk for swype & upload it so I can try it on my 2.1

I want to give a Thanks for this post but the option isn't there.
Is that because of its age?

Is it possible to put HTC Sense keyboard on Streak

Is it possible to use HTC sense keyboard on dell streak ?
How do i install it ?
the one from streak is soooo smal for the screen...
U should try ultra keyboard
Loads of customisation and the keys r huge.
I love using it especially the swype feature.
I've tried installing the HTC keyboard but supposidly it's something to do the framework apk
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Well I'm actually using it now. Just install it as a normal apk. And reboot.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
u cud try smartkeyboard pro..it has an option for a HTC skin for the keyboard...
You can go to www.gimpsta.com to make a custom skinned htc keyboard and then just install the apk as usual.
Just remember to go into your settings to activate it for use before attempting to change your input method.

None of these work as they should...
The htc keyboard doesn't work at all...
If you have rooted your phone you can adjust the lcd density which will cause all buttons drawn to be larger.
You will need root access to /system/build.prop. Open it in a text editor and scroll down to the "other edits" section and increase the number by increments of 20 till you find what you like. A reboot will be required to have changes take affect.

Can you confirm this, and which version did you pick when you made it.

Same for me so far. I have tried a couple of versions and no go for any of them. Did not try a reboot though.
I tried rebooting but it doesn't work...

need help with wallpaper, please

I have downloaded several wallpapers which say they are sized for the Dell Streak (800 x 480 pixels), but when I load them they are huge and don't fit at all on the screen.
I am obviously doing something wrong...
You should try wallstreak.

CyanogenMod allows you to move one on each side. I have my back button and recent button on the left and right side, respectively. It's not an app, but that's the only way to have that without using an app like button saver or virtual button bar (don't move originals but can place buttons anywhere pretty much).

Thanks omac, Maybe will give it a try then, do you think it's the best rom?

I think its pretty great. The nightly updates and constantly added features is what keeps me going.
I use this version of AOSP:

Just make sure to flash "leftnavbar.full_manta-ota-eng.cgomez.20122012.zip" to move the navbar over (link in the OP).
Use Paranoid Android and in Tablet UI you can have all three on the bottom left. Otherwise you can use the expanded desktop with PIE and have them come or of anywhere you like.

Fantastic ROM! Finally expanded desktop is like it was meant to be.

Paranoid Android is probably the best for Nexus 10 and 7... Check that out
I'll back these guys up. Been running Paranoid Android in my Nexus 10 for ages and it's brilliant. I have the buttons on the bottom left and my notifications on the bottom right. I noticed there are some other ROMs starting to introduce these features such as CM and aokp but I'd definitely recommend looking at Paranoid Android.
I'm running CM10.1 with lmt launcher and fullscreen togglev2. It's just nearly perfekt
Need no nasty navbar anymore. More Display for me

Do you mean how do you turn on extended desktop so that you can use the pie menu? Press your power button until the menu comes up and select extended desktop.

I'm talking about enabling extended screen, using pie, AND having the three button bars and menu visible.

Unfortunately, in this scenario, you can't have your cake and eat it too. There isn't a setting, to my knowledge, that allows using both PIE and the nav/stat bars at the same time. Maybe in an upcoming update? Expanded desktop works great for me, I don't even remember what the stat bar looks like.
