Swype for Android.

Today i saw a post on another forum that there is a leaked version of Swype but does this work for our beloved HTC hero aswell ?
No, currently only works in WVGA resolution (Droid/Nexus One) and as our Hero is HVGA, this will not work and has been suggested by people who have tried it.
I believe they are developing it for our reso as we speak? Im looking forward to it!
I really can't wait for this to be released for the Hero, especially after trying it on a friend's Droid.
gah dont get me started, iv been waiting for this since swype released the idea! ahahah
Hey I released a modified version of this that will work on the hero. Check it out over at iq0.org

Tried this.
Let me tell you what all I did.
After installing this I could't find it in all programes so I went to Astro again and click on swype.apk, so it gave me option of browse file or open Apps Manager. After selecting Apps Manager, there were two options: uninstall , launch. I had selected Launch, which gave error:
"Main Activity not found for com.swype.androide.inputmethod"
Also I had tried Settings>Local&Text>Swype
(I wonder that now I have downloaded and installed Local2 (for Indian region))???

ohh you mean you cant get it up when you install it? This will be the htc keyboard stopping it, its a right pain but you can get them to swap!
Working great for me!! Thanks a lot for this
ShapeWriter is a similar thing, it's awesome and works on the Hero.
Any chance on some tips on how you guys managed to enable the swype keyboard?
I've got it installed, ran the the tutorial, ticked the enable box etc. but just don't get it to pop up on the screen...
Only thing I've noticed is that the Default option under swype settings just says "Please Wait"
By the way, I bought Shapewriter for the TabletPC and think it has great potential. Especially with ATMOIC layout enabled. But I think the company looks like it is heading towards a dead end. No updates for ages to known issues. Forums have spam on them and questions that have not been replied to for months etc.
Hence I'm hoping swype will be my way forward instead.

@zuber
I managed to get it working by opening a fresh type screen (Message, Google search) Press and hold on the empty space and it pops up with input options...select Swype
Got it thanks
Better than Shapewriter imho.
Still a bit buggy, so looking forward to the final version. Hope they do a version for the tablet PC soon as well.

Is it possible to have an apk that adds other languages. I'd like to use French with Swype...

-FIXED-[China-only] Market : "Download was unsuccessful..."

[Edit]
Turned out that the lovely chinese governement somehow got to Android
Anyhow, thanks to Marcus, we have the solution, tested & confirmed working by myself.
Please follow the instructions at that link :
hiapk.com/bbs/thread-278678-1-1.html
Then you'll be happy. If you need more detailed informations, let me know.
I haven't been trying to understand the changes I made. If you somehow feel that it's a problem for you, then leave the phone as is. Also, I guess this will be usable only for rooted phones.
Have fun! And once again, thanks to Marcus.

[original post, FYI]
Hey all,
Starting yesterday, I am having this error with the market.
Any app I try to get will give me that error : download was unsuccessful, please try again blah~
Weird thing is that it really happened out of the blue, because it was working fine until yest noon. I am on CM 5.0.7.1-N1, with the radio that came with Froyo. Issue exists with Wi-Fi and 3G.
I tried : reboot (multiple times), newer CM, Nandroid restore to a point when it was working, deleted/recreated APN.
I m too lazzy to try and downgrade the radio, and haven't tried to install Froyo.
Strange thing is : gmail app won't connect, but the email app will work (well, I knew that it isn't an internet access related issue, but still...). If I try and install a ROM from scratch, the initial Google login will fail again and again.
Actually, I have one suspicion. I am in Beijing, on China Unicom. I know that China hasn t been kind on Google lately. Any other user in China experiencing this same issue? Or does this just happen sometimes?
Thanks!
I am in GuangDong, and for the past 2 days similar things just happened to me.
I didn't use the GMail app but now you mentioned it, I tried it and it didn't work. It is stuck with "No connection (Retry)" screen
Using Email and setup a GMail account works fine with me as well.
Hopefully, this is not one of the other 'stunt' of the Great China Firewall.
Argh...
I do believe that we may be f***ed, at least temporarily...
Let s see where it goes, but if you do experience the same troubles, then it might a nation-wide thingy.
Are you on China Unicom, too?
Only time will tell.... But let's hope we won't have to give up on Android in China.
Any other Android friends in China having troubles? I ll update the title of the tread, see if we can catch more people's eyes.
Re: [In China only ?] Market : suddenly, "Download was unsuccessful..."
I'm in Shanghai and can only access market apps and gmail syncing with my vpn.

i have htc dseire and now same problem happened in shanghai too .
Solved
Guys there is a fix here: hiapk.com/bbs/thread-278678-1-1.html
Good Luck
Marcus
Hey, good catch!
Will give it a shot, then report back here how it went.
Thanks
[Edit] It works! Follow Marcus link, and you ll get unstuck.
If anybody needs detailed directions, feel free to let me know.
Will edit the title and original post.
Romain
***EDIT
Gmail and the Market work on my US simcard roaming on China Unicom.
I'm in Guangdong; i've also had the same issues with Gmail and the Market at the same time. Both don't work on the network (Unicom) or WiFI connections; I'll have to give that fix a try later, thanks.
Hello!
Can somebody translate the procedure into English?
Thanks!
The procedure is to edit your host file with the information shown.
I m happy to share this, so here is the easy way to do:
1-get the file rootexplorer, which is attached here, if you don't have it.
2- install it, of course If you do not have a file explorer to get to it, then push the file.
3- open it, then find the folder /etc, open it
4- remember to touch the button "Mount R/W" to change the status of the text r/o into r/w right next to the button.
5- find the file called "hosts", and long press it. scroll all the way down to "Open in Text Editor"
6- there is already a line of stuff in there, so just skip a line and type :
209.85.135.100 clients2.google.com1
209.85.135.101 android.l.google.com
209.85.135.100 android.clients.google.com
underneath. I guess the spacing does not really matter, but they have to be each on a different line, as shown here. Also, it is a pain in the ass to type, so make sure there is no typo at first try
7- in options, save&exit (it creates a backup by itself)
8- reboot (not sure if that s necessary)
9- it works
there you go.
Does this fix works with a phone not rooted?

Hi, I am guessing that no, it won't, since you need to access root files. I m not sure but seems to make sense to me.
Sorry! Also, this is what is preventing me to go straight away to Samsung i9000, since it isn't rooted yet...
I didn't root my Legend yet and if i do so and the fix doesn't work, I will be stuck with the phone with no app on it.
At least now I have all my apps and only Gmail and the Market don't work.
Any idea from where this issue come from and if it will resolve itself?
It's the end of the chinese holiday... so maybe some hope...
sorry i m naive in the field of this mobile tech world .
i reached to the hosts file through your solution but i can't change read only files to write
this rooting stuff looks too complicated for htc desire .
is there any other way , without roooting my desire
Sorry, mate. I don't own a desire, so I really cannot help with this issue.
True enough, it's only those two apps which will not work, but still a little annoying to have to go and look online for the apps and to download them manually.
Ask on the Desire forum about this
4- remember to touch the button "Mount R/W" to change the status of the text r/o into r/w right next to the button.
In my htc desire i can't get this "mount r/w" is its the functionality of root explorer . because i can't see any option to change from r/o to r/w
Hey, what can i do if my phone isn't rooted?
Same problem as everyone has, apps not installing and no gmail.
I dont get it, why it happened. Stupid Great firewall.
I have froyo 2.2. how can i root it just to change hosts files? dont want any custom roms tho. tnx

[Q] How do I set a default home with a rom ?

I installed Gingercruzt rom and Arc Launcher Transparency theme. But when I press the Home button, there is a pop-up with the last applications. When I turn off the phone, home theme of gingercruzt comes back. I tried with " Home switcher " but nothing happens.
boot into recovery
full wipe (factory reset)
reboot
install your arc launcher again
when you pressing home key make sure you not hold it
when you hold afew moment it become recently app
(so press once)
pop up screen will come out (it will ask launch by what?)
sellect arc launcher if you want it and make sure u click on the make it default
hope this can solve your pain
hf you have any problem teel me
I tried but it doesn't work nothing happens when I push once on home button.
I have two others questions :
- before intalling the rom I put games on my SDcard but after the installation I could'nt find them anymore.
- how do I take off the sound when the phone is started ?

1- are u using app2sd or something similar? and u need ext2/ ext3/ ext4 on your sdcard
2- what rom you wearing rite now?
1) No I don't have any application like that. I just move on the games with parameters-> applications -> manage the applications
2) I have the R8

you have to play with unlock boot loader (be carefull)
flashing kernel (easy)
partitioning sdcard (ext2/ext3/ext4) (lot steps)
or
Download all the app U like with browser instead market
(because when download using market we don't have the installer for the app)
download the app.apk and save it in one folder and just name it apk folder..
so everytime u change your rom, u can simply instal it again and again, and again..
I just use this trick!!
Ok I will do it. Do you know some websites with apk ?
And the sound at the starting of the phone do you know how to take it off ?

some app.apk u can simply google it..
but almost paid app.apk are not allowed!
I just buy a paid app.apk dvd with my friend
About the boot sound U have to search it your self..
I'm not sure about your rom rite now (R8)??
but u can try this
install root explorer (phone need rooted)
(this app same like file manager but it can see phone and system files)
you can simply search the boot animation folder
on phone directory instead sdcard
search one by one folder
when u get the boot sound or boot animation u can simply delete
(If can't delete) click on "mount RW" on the top right
sory long explaination..
and HIT Thanks twise!!

better market access

can sumone not noob like me look at this n check it outif its fine to do.. ...>
STEP16. Get root explorer from the Andriod market or type in "ROOT EXPLORER.APK" on googles Web and download it and instal it to your phone its and APP STEP17. Ok now Copy this: ro.product. rat=EvDo only
STEP18. Go into root explorer find "SYSTEM" a new page opens now press and hold on (BUILD.PROP) Tell is pulls up a list of things to do click on "OPEN IN TEXT EDITOR" now you'll see a page of black word on white paper
STEP19.PASTE what you earlier copies on to this paste it under "RO.PRODUCT just find the letters And past it at the end of the last RO.PRODUCT file just paste and reboot
NOTE:The next step is if you want full ANDRIOD MARKET access now all you need to is instal the BUILD PROP. file VIA Clock Works Recovery this is the build prop. From and HTC THUNDERBOLT which has the same CHIP SET as The Triumph but with full market access
STEP20. Go to your Andriod market look up order and chaos you won't be able to find it on the normal motorola triumph when you flash it to the thunderbolts Build.prop you will and many more other apps like Crackle, Order and Chaos, Modern combat 2, NOVA 2, Backstab etc. Basically it will show everything a thunderbolt can see. I used that phone as my basis because it is similar to ours yet it has more support in the market for apps such as the ones gameloft offers. First instal the Thunderbolts zip from here: androidforums.com/triumph-all-things-root/ 405837-thunderprop-build-prop-market- access-updated-10-4-2011-a.html
NOTE2: You are going to have to sign up for this forum in order to get the zip required the zips name which your suppose to get is called: MTThunderprop.zip
STEP21. Now go into AndroZip which you should have installed on your phone I'f you haven't been following this forum you get it from the market now create a folder name it "Thunderbolt" now look for the thunder.zip file you just downloaded grab and move to the THUNDERBOLT FOLDER now press and extract
STEP22. Go to Manage Applications, click on market and make sure to force stop first and then clear data on your Andriod Market App
STEP23. Now turn off your phone
STEP23. PRESS AND HOLD VOLUME UP AND DOWN WHILE HOLDING THE POWER BUTTON ALL "TOGETHER"!
STEP24. Now you are on CWR now go to "INSTAL ZIP FROM SD CARD" and simply look for your folder where you placed the thunder.zip now instal or to your phone and your done reboot back
STEP25. Now that your Phones on go to"SETTINGS" " ABOUT PHONE " and you'll see your Triumph is no triumph its actually "THE HTC TRIUMPH THUNDER" lol check the oses its at 2.3.4 there you go guys Thank you for reading bye!..

I don't get the point what you want to achieve. The FB0 have full market access, and if you want some apps only available in other countries search for "Market Enabler". Simple.

Solved "Invalid License" problem of games and apps(especially SGSi9000)

This problem sometimes occurs even in cracked or paid apps if u don't have the Market access correctly.I have found a solution but u need an avtive internet connection(wifi or 3g,whatever)
For those who have market access
1.enable background data in settings
2.sign in market with google account and run the app.That's easy
3.else, try the following method.
For those who live in non-market access country
1.download market unlocker apk and install it.(I use v3.2.5)
2.open market unlocker,switch the "Enable Unlocker" ON(at "Home" tab
3.Go to "Proxy" tab and tap "Fetch USA Proxy(pro version)" and wait until it automatically set the proxy,then switch "Enable Proxy" ON.
After that u have market access.
Sign in market with google account and run the app.It won't show "Invalid License" anymore.I've tested and 100%working
Root required
Dude! Thanks a lot! I was just about to delete the 900MB Tintin game I downloaded when I stumbled upon this thread. I had lost all hope of making that game run. But you saved me. Thanks a ton! It's working perfectly!

I had that error too, but no worries all you need is a rooted phone and lucky patcher and just
1. Go on the app, open menu of patches
2.Go on remove licence, selected patterns
3.chose the licence certification mod; 1st green and final licence vertification ; 2nd to last
4.Boom there you go!
