- HTC Flashlight not working.
- Change Log -
v0.1.1
- Added BASH shell and nano text editor.
- Added ConnectBot Terminal Emulator.
- Removed wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre3 and used wireless_tether_2_0_2.
- *Users who flashed ROM v.1 don't need to re-flash with this version, just install wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre3+, unless you need BASH shell*.
v0.1
- Created

I like 2.2 as well, but until the video and picture taking abilities get worked out... It kinda defeats the purpose.

if you need any help with future verzions of this rom, i can help you if you want.
i also do light theming too, so if you want a themed status bar, lockscreen icons, etc in your rom, i could cook it in .
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App

downloaded, did the wipe and tried to install. said it wasn't verified. so i turned off verification and am installing it this way, ill let you know how it goes.

installation was successful. everything seems to be working.
one question to the forums, and i hope i dont offend the OP, but if the ROM is not signed, and since i had to install it without verification, does this mean it is more likely that the creator has added something "bad" to the ROM? Again, im not trying to offend you OP, just gotta make sure you know.

You know what would be cool. If someone made a lockscreen using the stargate. And you had to dial a stargate address to unlock the screen. That would be awsome.
Yeah i admit im a gatehead.

Even if its signed there is a possibility of something bad, as you put it. Anyone could create a key and sign it. I don't believe there have been any malicious roms but that is what the community is here for. I'm sure ppl smarter then myself disect everything in a Rom to make sure nothing is malicious. Props to OP will be testing tonight.

In the end, theres really not too much one could do to watch for "bad stuff." I don't even know what bad stuff you'd be looking for though, keyloggers? If theres one of those, all you'd have to do is double check the input section to make sure it's a legit IME. Other than that, ATK would help you look for anything else.
The fact of the matter is most of these roms just aren't signed, unless you're building from aosp, or you take the keys out of the rom that you're modifying.

Gingerbread Keyboard (I can haz?)

Yes you can haz! Found this on Androidspin. Installed using instructions and it seems to work.

Off topic, but it is no longer considered funny on the Internet to say "I can haz..."
That being said, that is a pretty clean looking kb. If I was a fan of using the on-screen kb (read: if I didn't have fat thumbs), I'd definitely give that a try.

Hmm... I didn't get the memo on that. But I still think it's funny!
It's actually pretty functional. I use the on screen keyboard for quick texts and am using it right now. I still don't think it'll replace Swype or Swift Key. But it is a big improvement over the previous keyboard.

Is that the one with the fixed dictionary? There is one floating around that only pops up contacts and another that's fixed
Nevermind upon actually clicking the link I see that it does actually have the right dictionary and auto correct

HA HA! By the sounds of it before your time (I'm old!) They were a toy from the '80's, like Army Men but cartoonish ants. There's a thing going around on Facebook about posting cartoons from your childhood as your profile pic for some stupid cause (the cause isn't stupid, believing that changing your profile pic will do anything is but I thought it'd be fun). I'm surprised you didn't ask about Go Bots! LMAO! My search history can get weird sometimes. Good thing the porn didn't showing up!

Love the new keyboard, had a couple of issues though. It was laggy at first, but I reflashed, and now it's fast again, don't know whether reflashing it or rebooting fixed it, but whatever,
also, it doesn't seem to like the word "don't". The only way it will suggest don't is if I type dont exactly. If I type something close, such as domt or dobt or dony it suggests font. It just won't suggest don't. Anyone else having this issue? I'm running cm6.1-stable with a ported theme on it ):
EDIT: I added don't to the user dictionary, now it suggests it. Still odd that it doesn't by default.

sweet, thanks man

Are you guys trying to install as an app? It needs to be flashed from recovery. Other than that I can only suggest you redownload and try again.

To clarify, you are stating they should be using this while in recovery:
Code:
adb install whatever.apk
Correct?

Not abd install. It's a flashable .zip. Flash just like a ROM.
Edit: Looking into it further, the .zip contains a shell script that removes the old keyboard and an update script to install the new one and of course the apk. You can do this all manually through adb. There's a guy (Ryan) that commented the instructions in the linked article.

So if it's a flashable zip then it can be done in recovery without adb. Just select 'install zip from sdcard' go to the zip and install like a rom. At least that's what I get out of it being a flashable zip - I'll try it and see.

In the linked thread it states go into recovery and install .zip. not anywhere does it say extract or use adb there are instructions to do it that way and if your getting the error when flashing then you will indeed need adb

Yeah, but it only works on froyo, don't pull a stupid like I did and try to flash it onto an odexed sense rom xD Had to reflash my rom because it removed all of my .odex files and I couldn't boot.
ANYWAY, yeah for some reason, it won't predict ANY words with apostrophes in them. Only if I add them to the user dictionary. Very annoying, but I suppose at some point I will have added every word that I could possibly conceive using into the user dictionary. I think it has something to do with me having the User Dictionary for Better Keyboard installed, it was only for sense UI roms, but titanium restored it when I hopped onto cm6.1, so that may have been the issue. Since, I uninstalled that user dictionary app, but it's still happening. Oh well, I think it's worth it.

Hey, I'm new to this whole ROOTED/FLASH/MOD thing..
Just rooted my phone like 10 min ago...
So forgive me if this question sounds stupid.
Does this Keyboard work on a Rooted Slide running Android 2.1??
Its posted under MyTouch Slide, and since the MTS doesnt come with 2.2 (nor is there a 100% port of 2.2 for the slide that I can find) Then Im assuming this should work under 2.1 - but it seems to not work. I flash the .zip through recovery mode, but when I reboot the old Touch2.1 Keyboard is still there and no GB Keyboard is to be found

[Q] Gallery issues

I am having issues w/ my gallery. It would appear that every time I connect my phone to the computer my photos that were transfered to the ex sd multiply. Ex. I have a folder of .png's it originally had 123 items in the folder I named icons. that folder is now up to 3000+. another folder "wallpaper" started w/ 16 and now is over 80. The only folders that haven't duplicated (within the folder) are folders created from within the phone. Ex photos taken w/ the phone. Have had 40+ for a while, never increases.

Sgstools used to be an app avalable in the market but the person who used to maintain it quit because it was too hard to maintain for free. it is really useful and is included on a lot of custom roms most people new to flashing don't see its usefulness until they actually need it. Now there is a thread for out now in the themes and apps section. Use the script for cleaning up "thumb nails". That is what you have too many of. Opening some apps causes the media scanner to create an xtra thumb nail if this happens to much you get thumb nails for thumb nails and then you got 3000. The script should clean it all up. Should work on any rom. There is also options to swap out your gallery with a modded one that doesn't make your sensors go wild and eat your battery. You can use it to swap your e mail apk for the one in the galaxy tab I don't need it but some do. There is a secret code dialer that will take you straight to lbs testmode useful if your constantly tweaking gps settings. The list goes on. Get it, it's what you need. I

[MOD] Stop MMS in your Call Logs - JS5, JS7, KB1 Tested

Fix to Get Rid of the MMS Notification in your Call Logs
Apologies about the brief post earlier today, was at work and a bit of a hurry. Here is a more detailed method.
This was created from the JS5, i9000 source, but has been confirmed to also work on JS7 and KB1.
This will not remove exisiting notifications, but will stop new ones from popping up.
I do not take credit for the original fix, my source is listed below.
Clockwork Flashable zip file below to apply this fix, the steps are listed because I was asked for the process, but if you just want the mod, just flash the file at the bottom of this post.
This assumes you have knowledge of apkmanager or apktool to decompile the apk's, and notepad++ or another way to compare and edit the smali's. Those are lessons for another thread.
I happened upon this thread this morning over in Vibrant Q&A: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988929
Which led me here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853177 (Go Hit mammon88's thanks button)
-Grab the LogsProvider.apk from the Epic thread, second one linked, and decompiled using apkmanager.
-Move that file somewhere else, maybe even rename the folder, you won't need it again, and it will be the example folder/files.
-Take the LogsProvider.apk from your rom, and decompile with apkmanager or similar program.
-Inside the decompiled apk, using the one in the apkmanager folder here, not the Example Folder, browse to \smali\com\sec\android\provider\logsprovider, and open the LogsProvider.smali with notepad++ (that what I recommend using)
-Now from you Example Folder, drag the corresponding smali file to notepad++, and it will be in a new tab.
-In notepad++, hit Plugins->Compare->Compare, and the differences in the files are highlighted.
-Recreate the edits in the example to your main file, and save.
-Recompile the apk being sure to delete the classes.dex in the process.
These steps may/will work for comparing and editing other files, but be cautious. I didn't go in blindly and say "Eureka" on the first differences I saw. I compared every smali and xml, being cautious in editing, and got lucky on my first shot. Thankfully this apk only has a handful of smali files, first one I've ever decompiled that had less than 40. If you follow my steps, don't hold me responsible if it doesn't work, especially if you failed to make a backup.
The zip below is flashable via Clockwork Recovery. Backup as always, cause hey, it happens.

Thats interesting. I thought that Bionix 1.3.1 was KB1 (Android 2.2) based. Well hell, as long as it works, although be on the lookout for the odd issue or two, as this was sourced from the European i9000 JS5 port, and is all I've tested it on. Thx for the confirmation.

what is this new battery manager?

Hey guys i am using clean note v4.0 (4.0.4 lrk ) which is based on stock rom and no additional mods or nothing so this feature i am asking about should be stock too. Okay so when i went into my default stock task manager which comes with touchwiz I did my usual exit all apps and clear memory but then when i went into storage i saw two new options at the bottom and new battery section under storage in task manager. It had two options start monitoring and stop monitoring. Well i just wanna point out one more new feature in this 4.0.4 update but posted it in Q&A section as i really dont know what it actually does and how to see what it does, i mean from to see what is it monitoring and all? also it shows something in notifications bar when clicked on start battery monitoring! Below are two screenshots of it.
Okay guys more intel on this, i found two files related to this(atleast thats what i think so) named as batt_xxxxxx and cpu_xxxxxx in the internal sd card having some info and some techie stuff as i dunno what exactly it was. I would have uploaded it but it had the usage info and everything so i didnt upload it.
Thanks for your time guys.

im on the same rom right now , i just flashed the theme mod over it, i dont have those options
