Note: I am in no way associated with the authors of this ROM.
While perusing ROM Manager this morning I stumbled upon a new entry. Attempts to uncover any useful details about the 0.0.4 release of Lithium Mod proved fruitless, and yet curiosity got the best of me (as it musually does with my Inc). I've installed It and thus far am impressed with a lean, stable AOSP build with some interesting tweaks built in.
Please reply with any usage reports or pertinent details concerning this release, whether it be stock or modded in any way you see fit.
Obligatory link:
ROM MANAGER
Attributes discovered thus far:
-Customized power menu
-Nifty boot animation
-15 second boot time
-310MB free memory on boot
-Red Clock font I can't change?

Very sure, actually reflashed it (and am still on it) to make sure. This is all I have in the app drawer:
Browser, calculator, calendar, camera, clock, contacts, dev tools, email, gallery, lithiummod, messaging, music, phone, search, settings, spareparts, speech recorder, superuser, voice dialer.
I even went to a site (appbrain) and tried to download a random app (astro free) from market and it brought me to a page saying "Web page not available The Web page at market://details? id=com.metago.astro&referrer=utm_source might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address. Here are some suggestions: Check to make sure your device has a signal and data connection Reload this web page later. View a cached copy of the web page from Google"... I have the blue version of Lithium, if that matters at all. Is it just hidden somewhere obscure? I've looked around in dev tools and lithiummod, but maybe it was too general? Either way, I don't see market under settings>applications>manage applications>all... So yeah, any help?
EDIT: Downloaded Astro from 4Shared, so I could access Titanium and install it, so I can get all of my other apps, just not market lol...
Need to install Google apps
Alright, off to rom manager! Thanks.

same here, it works fine.
but it sucks compared to Android GB Keyboard
i used to believe Swype was great until i started using AGB keyboard, now i can't live without it.
it's simply that good
AGB keyboard = stock keyboard on 2.3.3 / 2.3.4
i actually find swype to be cumbersome and slow now

Granted I'm a first time Android user, but I couldn't get used to the keyboard on my NS4G. I'm also coming from a Pre with a physical keyboard that I could type one handed without looking.
I admit the Swype keyboard looks like garbage compared to the new keyboard, but in terms of usability, I can punch out a text using Swype waayyy faster than on the new keyboard.
okay, yes, if you want to type one handed in the mist of a rush hour in a public transit, then Swype is a better choice
but for multi-touch fast 2 hands typing, the stock android keyboard is magnificent specially when it comes to language switching
it gives you instantaneous language swap, so in the same message you can mix and match languages without the looooooong steps required on swype.
Confirming also that swype is working fine on NS4G. I had to log into the swype beta website, 'remove' the old device they had listed for my account, re download the inataller, let it do its thing, e.g. install, license...
Off topic, do guys get key lag with AGB Keyboard? ..and did u install from market, or literally just the stock?
pileosnafu said:
I went there today, and saw that the Beta is still open. Just sign up to get the keyboard.
Also after 30 minutes of using the stock keyboard, and then 30 minutes of using the sywpe I went back to stock. The predection function is good. Almost as good as the real thing i had on the epic

do u keep vibrate on? Does that make the keyboard lag and/or miss keys (for you)?

Use keyboard manager from the market to use Swype in portrait and then switch to whatever other keyboard you want in landscape.

It does work perfectly but it's odd that it's filtered out of the Market. You still have to side load it.

where are you downloading the apk from??
I just downloaded it to my phone and grabbed it for my xoom.

so your saying google voice installs as long as we sideload it?
This doesn't surprise me, since the issue with Google Voice was the same issue as the Facebook Widget and that works too.
It seems Google relaxed the API a bit with regards to null intents
I just back it up to my drop box.. here's the link if you want to download it

so i thought i would be able to get msg's on my tablet and my phone but when i setup my sprint number with gvoice i stop getting msg's on my phone and only get them on gvoice on the tablet
you can also get apps directly on your xoom by downloading from amazon app store. there's a ton of apps that work fine but missing from the market. and you don't have to go through putting the app on your phone then moving to your xoom, and you will get updates.
Yeah, found this out last week. Unfortunately, push notifications are STILL not enabled (you still have to select a polling interval).

I figured 15mins was the best compromise.
One thing I did was change my Voice Notification E-mail from my default account to my GMail account, which means I at least get instantaneous notifications, but even still that's a hack.
FFS Google- you can't make this whole?!
Confirmed. It works perfectly. Thanks for the heads up.

Umm' stupid question I'm sure but here goes...
If I install the voice from your dropbox does it replace the Google voice on the xoom? As in no more video calls, or does this just add capability to use the calling features? I'm so confused..

Yes I am. Might be the polling interval but I uninstalled it until there is a fix or an official release
Years ago I had a Panasonic phone where Contacts could be refereced by small sound file. Like Voice sort of but stored localy and with better accuracy. A bit like gesture but with your voice. I miss this simple function but can't find an app for it. Any ideas?

A swift Google search landed me with this paid app, Voice Speed Dial. Think this is the specific app OP is looking for, from the description of app
The voice recognition is highly accurate because you create a "voice tag" in advance for each person you would like to call. It's quick, easy, and allows the app to recognize virtually any voice (there is no language barrier).

May be, OP can give it a try.
Disclaimer: I have not used the app, just suggesting it :fingers-crossed:
Thanks for your help guys! I will have a look at it.

Supposedly, should go to settings - controls - language and input - text-to-speech (TTS) options - Samsung TTS engine and press configure cog. Then install voice data and download high quality voice female, but it doesn't do anything (in my case just a popup window that says it will download and nothing else happens). Can you please check this on your device also? It might be a software bug

You have to have Samsung apps enabled.

I did that too and mine downloaded but still Samsung voice. On Google map it used to be more human voice .

Yup, same here. I want the Google voice, not the HD samsung voice.
I have this problem on my Huawei P6, and from doing reseach I believe it's the TTS. If you look at under language and input, there is no Google-Text-To-Speach engine, but instead just the Samsung one.
I still couldn't find a way to download (or where to download the app for that matter) the Google TTS engine.
I hope some can figure this out, because that Samsung voice is really annoying. The funny thing is, Google Now have the correct voice/sound.

in the text to speech menu under advanced samsung has HD voice downloads and they all sound really good. and there free
I took a peek on the link provided as far as a work around for this issue/annoyance, and seems like a lot of work.
Anyway, I've found an easier solution. You have to be rooted and have Titanium backup. Not sure if it will for everyone, but it sure works on my phone.
All I did was freeze the Samsung TTS engine, and like a miracle my Google maps now sounds wonderful (it use the Google voice/speech) now.
Let me know if this works for you guys.
I'm happy now.

This ^^^ /Agreed. That's probably why it's called voice guidance

Google's map navigation function is pretty better than apple's. It shouldn't be lead you to lost at a different location.
