For those of you who are not aware that the Vlingo app is available right now for our phone I encourage you to download it and give it a try. This app is a million times faster than our so called "genious button". I recommend that you make a home screen widget for quick access. Try the app out and feel free to post comments on if the app was useful or if it was a better experience than the genius button. Thank you.

I think Vlingo is better, but hopefully they can fix the Genius button in 2.2, it could have potential to beat google search.

I definitely agree. The issue with the genious button is the load up time. Smh. I just played around with Vlingo and realized that it is less accurate than the genious button. For example, when you text to Natalie "I miss you" it might text something else. The voice recognition is definitely less precise than the G button. I think the G button would be better if the load up times were better and if somehow they can give users the option to type what they want instead of only speaking.

after using both I personally prefer Vlingo. Dragon Dictation was extremely inaccurate for me unless I brought my 18-wheeler to a stop and turned off the motor (which defeats the point of texting with the G Button). with Vlingo at full throttle doing 75 mph the only thing I might have to fix is the final punctuation.
Update:I've deleted Vlingo because it was just less accurate with the word recognition. I've realized that the genious button is fast, but it is only fast once you open up the application for the 1st time. So everytime that you reboot your phone you should open up the genious button at least once so that when you do want to utilize the G function you can utilize it more quickly instead of the "PLEASE WAIT" that we all hate.

That's interesting that you found Vlingo more accurate, while I found it less accurate. I guess it might be my NY accent that Vlingo doesn't recognize and the G button does. Maybe the G button is from NY or Jersey that's why it understands me better. Lmao

mapping vlingo to G button
I think this was coverfed but in some quick searches I couldn't find out how to remap the G button to another app, in the intrest of truly replacing the dragon apps with goog voice search/vlingo we should include it here, anybody better at googleeze than I?

From my expirence when you download vlingo and press the "G" button it gives you the choice of choosing genius (dragon) or vlingo... just like after you download launcher pro or adw for your launcher program

It is more accurate. It used to recognize my ukrainian accent, not only your NY one . I kind of miss G button features since I have been using CM 6.x. I hope they will bring it back in an update we are all waiting for.

The developer is from this forum and his recent posts says his got something special in the works but it might take him awhile. The fade transition is simply the fastest transition I have seen on Android or the iPhone for that matter. Cube reminds me of Compiz but is not quick enough for everyday use

I personally use HOME++ until Intelligent Home Screen gets worked on a little bit more. IHS would be an awesome lock screen. But not home replacement. Specially since you can't place any widgets on it.

Intelligent Home Screen is really cool and so different. It is still way slow and buggy. I am sticking with Home++ for now.
I love GDE
GDE running fast on my G1
I've been using Home++ too for a few weeks, and I'm amazed that for a beta it's so functional and smooth. Haven't had it FC or do anything else weird either.
I used GDE for a while, but aesthetically it doesn't really feel that good (even with the theming support). Will give it another go once the version goes up a bit.

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. :|

... 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.. =]

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.

+1 here for this great idea!
thats the best lock screen idea in the history of lock screen ideas, would be ool if it had buttons like in the videoeo that quick linked you to several app, music Calender gmail contacts browser, all the most used, also if it was as big as one in video you could have buttons on outside ring, and a working manipulatible preview of the app button selected on inside ring, and you could scroll through each preview by rotating the lock.
I'd like that! Its like a holographic mouse!
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
Some nice ideas here. As much as I love the vanilla experience, in terms of lockscreens Google always disappoints me. Especially with Honeycomb: The first thing I though was: Why not having, let's say, up to 5 app shortcuts around the ring (just like the "lock"). If you move your finger to the lock, you unlock. Move it to the "Music" symbol, you open your music app, move it to the "Pulse" app...you get the idea. There are so many opportunities, especially with this kind of big screen (and the support of 10 Fingers at once) that it hurts me to only see this (even though fancy) ring to unlock without further modifications.
Hi there!
proud owner of a 1p1 for 5 hours now.
I really like the feature of swiping to the left on the left-most-screen to trigger the google-now app.
But I hate google now
Do you have any recommendations for others apps which offer this intent, so I can swipe to the left to trigger the alternative app?
I only know one, I have instaled by default, its a bus-fixtures app called "öffi".
Thanks in advance
