Ok so I basically tried all keyboards that are on the market.. I have swype and slide it as well.. But I find myself going back and forth between all my keyboards and can not get comfortable sticking with one. I use a keyboard for like a week, if that, and switch to another one or search for hopefully a newest one. Its like I can't find one that suits me..
Does anybody have any recommendations on this??
Thanks for your help =)

I find Swype the easiest...Anyway keyboard choice is just everyone's personal preference. Just use one you find comfortable.
I like swype but don't like how you have to go over certain letters twice for a particular word such as; "choosing", "messages", " button", etc...
If I had to pick between SlideIt or Swype, I would have to go with SlideIT.. But I don't like how you have to press the "?123" button for symbols and numbers.
I agree that swype is easier, but I guess I'm jus to picky lol..
swype for me as well. but i saw something about this guy installing the droid x keyboard on his nexus. it has multi touch... i believe he also got the apk somewhere in here.

You don't have to go over them twice. You can just scribble on the letter. Go look at swype hints and tips. They got some really neat things to speed up texting.
But I use swype or better keyboard.

I forgot I was in a Nexus forum. :X I probably need to take my post-happy self back to the Dream. Either way, go look at their tips and tricks. If you can memorize them all and learn to use them out of habit... NO ONE you know without Swype will be able to text faster than you.
AS for built in keyboard, I like it. It has NICE response speed and when every other keyboard lags, it doesn't. Like you said, though, the keys are just too small. :|

I too am a fan of swype. Although the Desire keyboard is a pretty nice alternative...

... Hahahaha! that made my night, i needed that laugh lmao
i knew the basics of swype and had swype for awhile now and i guess i didnt know about other tricks and what not, thanks for sheadin some light on that.. ill go check them out now.. im sure its on the swype website, so thats where ill look first =]
Again, thanks! i hope i can get used to this swype thing because i find myself thinking where to slide my finger when using slideit and swype.. when i just use a regular keyboard my fingers seem to jus "flow" like its just reaction (if that makes sense).. i know where all the keys are based on memory so i dont think about it when i type, swype on the other hand.. I do lol.
Im sure its just a learning curve.. so when i get frustrated doing swype, ill stick to it and not switch to another keyboard so itll become 2nd nature..
... All in all i appreciate it man, ima go check out the tips now lol
Time to beat that record!! haha.. =]

HOLY S***t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
... I didnt know like 85% of what i just saw about swype!! HOT DAM!
Im really gonna push myself into learning Swype to its full potential now! OMG...
Swype is faster in portrait mode, plus it feels very natural once you're used to it. On the downside, typos are a pain to redo, usually requiring you to retype the whole thing. Plus, there's almost no spellcheck ability.
In landscape, I can type faster with Better Keyboard. I'd wish they'd incorporate the punction in the suggestion bar, but I'm good with press and hold.
I love Swype. I switched to it about a week ago and I can type really fast!!
I was using HTC_IME and I still might be using it if it supported multitouch. I'm waiting for the Droix X keyboard to be ported over, that looks promising.

I haven't yet seen ANY keyboard on my Nexus (2.1, stock, not rooted) work with multitouch.. I use HTC IME that was modified from here to include smileys and a few other things.. Works well for me.
If you looking for a non swype style keyboard, I really like Smart Keyboard Pro. Its my daily driver, although I do also have Swype installed.

Does "- Some text in some buttons are not white (I have been unable to fix this and I probably won't)"
Mean that on some buttons it's not possible to read the text and therefore the function of the button?

Yes but it is very few buttons and only in some particular apps. The text can be read but it is very unclear. You can go in the Gmail app and the show pictures button for example has this issue
Hi ComputerFreak. I have just installed Black Perfection 2.1 on my Elelinux 1.9 ROM and I really like the looks of it. However, all texts are in black... even the ones at the top of the screen (notifications, time, etc.). It is different from the screenshots you show. Please tell me how to change the font colours to white! Maybe a tiny patch will work??
Thanks in advance!
Really appreciate your hard work!

I just tried to change the colours in CM settings. I only managed to change to colour of the time.
I tried to change all of them to #ffffffff (white) but they don't seem to take effect. Do I have to reboot or something?

Can I have a mirror please? I can't download from RapidShare.. it doesn't allow me to.
Edit: Never mind. I'm downloading it from zShare now.
Hey thanks for the CMTheme.zip file. I rebooted my phone and now everything looks perfect!
But now I have another problem... I installed the special theme HTC_IME mod keyboard and it works great. However, every single time I reboot it is gone and I have to reinstall from the .apk file..
I'm not sure if it's because of the CMTheme.zip file or the Black Perfection Theme itself. Maybe they cause to keyboard to revert to its original?
Sorry I have to trouble you again..!
The moment you have all ben waiting for... I bring to you the lockscreen mod for STOCK DEODEXED KA7! Did you catch the DEODEX part? A deodexed version of KA7 can be found in my thread here. This includes all FOUR lockscreens - Epic, Fascinate, Glass & AOSP.
This will NOT work on the stock Odin version and remember to ALWAYS make a nandroid backup!!!
Please be aware that this is based off the stock KA7 frameworks and flashing will remove any theming you have.
Link below is OLD! This mod has been severely improved upon HERE

Credits & Thank You's
~First to Untermensch for providing the source for his KA5 port. It definitely made the process much easier.
~Also a BIG thank you to Sombionix and all of Team Whiskey. I had problems with the Settings.apk so I used their displaysettings.smali to get it to compile right. Thanks to a tip from Untermensch I was able to edit the displaysettings.smali and get the Settings.apk to compile all on my own. Nothing in this mod is kanged what-so-ever.
Thank you and please enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
UPDATE 1/24/2011 @ 3:50pm EST - Settings.apk was 100% compiled by me. Nothing is kanged. YAY.
UPDATE 1/24/2011: Added Power Menu & Stay Awake Option
UPDATE @10:35PM EST 1/23/2011: FC issue when in an app's settings menu fixed!
UPDATE: Sorry everyone but I had to pull it for the time being. I found a bug where you can't enter the settings/preferences of ANY installed apps...

Good job

can you add the glass lock with it? like what you've done on the KA5? also does this come with the power menu?

Hey thanks Heathen. I managed to get those colors sorted out [I think]. Still trying to fix the fatal flaw with these lockscreens. I've narrowed the issue down to the framework-res but I can't for the life of me see wth the problem is. The lockscreens work but whenever you try to enter the settings of an app (Superuser, Gmail) it frickin' force closes. Hopefully I get it sorted out soon as I know lots of ppl love this mod.

Take your time - everyone will have no choice but to wait until they are done, or do them themselves.
Yeah man I can't appreciate it enough. This and the power menu mods are the best ones to help customize this phone and Id wait for it to be perfect over anything.
Thanks again!
FC issue fixed and lockscreen mod re-posted in the OP. It seems I just needed to run the optimize option on the images. It also fixed the color issue on the android lockscreen. YAY.
Now I'm going to bed... Power menu hopefully tomorrow...
Goodnight everyone.

Hi everyone
As a bit of a neek when it comes to things like this, I am curious to find out if anyone has attempted to physically replace the LED's under the soft-touch buttons on the I9000? The white is so boring...so maybe it would be possible to remove the current LED's and replace with other colours? Unless the hardware is not accessible due to its positioning under the touchscreen...
If anyone has had a go at this then I'd love to know
Thanks
IG =]
If you are Slim, you can do that already.
System Settings - ASS - Navigation bar - Navigation bar color
For example, I matched to the theme's color.

I think it is, but...
I found this video of some guy taking the SGS apart, but it looks a bit tricky.
Looks like you have to strip it down completely before you can get to the LED's. However, I guess if you can get to them, then find some matching LED's of a different colour, swap them out, then successfully put it all back together, it should theoretically work

Hey wait! I was digging on ebay for spare parts and i found this:
(I can't post links so serach "repalcement keypad galaxy i9000")
Have a look at a few pictures! There are two holes just inside the touch sensors. The LEDS must be somwhere else not inside the screen assembly.

:highfive: Oh cool! Is that your phone? Was it difficult to disassembly? Your is a though question... Try to gently peel the circuit off. GENTLY! I'd really like to disassemble my galaxy too so we could find a way to take the circuit off but unfortunatelly I'm not at home and have no tools with me.
I find that the haptic feedback on this phone is very strong! Is there anyway to reduce the intensity?
If you're using the Swype keyboard currently, the HTC keyboard is less intense in regards to haptic feedback and you can still Swype with it. With the keyboard open, pull down the dropdown curtain and select another keyboard from Choose input method.
I hope that helps!
I currently use Swype and I don't mean with the keyboard, I mean the actual hardware buttons. When I press them, the haptic feedback is very strong!
