How do I install Swype beta on the Nexus One? I found http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2009/12/30/how-to-get-swype-on-android/ but it's only for Droid. Doesn't work on the N1 because the screen resolution is wrong.
It still works,I use the Droid version on my N1 without an issue - it'll give the error message about the screen size but if you press the text field again it'll pop up and work fine.
it actually DOES work, just not in landscape. Just close the error message and go to input portrait mode again and it'll work. I just turned off auto orientation to always keep my phone in portrait mode to avoid any crashes while laying down and it switching to landscape. There is an .apk file out there that says they have patched it but to no avail =P
Swype is my keyboard while driving (1 handed operation) but I use Smart Keyboard (free on market) for regular landscape typing.
What am I doing wrong then? I installed it, then the same error comes up about the screen size. I click start and when I go to type, no keyboard comes up.
On second thought, I may have had a bad apk file. I downloaded the one in the first post and got it to work.
Looks like it works sometimes. The error message is bugging me, though. There's also no way to hide the keyboard sometimes, unlike the stick keyboard (which you can drag down to hide).
When using Swype and latest Cyanogen rom I cannot use camera. If I disable Swype, then the camera works fine.

Just press the back button to hide it.
Just wondering if anyone here has the ability to get rid of the warning message and landscape version?
It must be a relatively easy task for an experienced dev?
This guy managed to fix it for Hero, Magic etc. and no nag screen and landscape works. Look like he will attempt to fix N1 version as well. Info here:

What can we do?
I posted a fix for the pop up here.

Wont download for me !!! Just keeps resetting the page.
Anyone able to disable the error message? I am using the english n russian only version.
I'd prefer Swype, but other options exist...
I'd rooted my Kindle Fire and put Swype on there, and use it on my Evo (work phone) and on Incredible. So I'd prefer to have the same tool on all devices.
Two similar products that reportedly DO work with Nexus:
TouchPal Keyboard (free)
SlideIT ($5.99)
Both are in the Android Marketplace
Somewhere I think I've got the apk for ShapeWriter as well, and I used to like that one, so could be worth a test.
I'm not sure what the problem is here? I've been using Swype on my N1 for as long as I can remember, and have never had any problems?
Yeah...why not just download the beta from the official Swype website?

I second that. It's so much simpler. Detects your phone & offers the best suited version to download. All you need to do is register & create a username & password for yourself.
Full version is out on the market!
What are you doing go DL it already!
Left for history
============================================
Looks like its now working!
I'm using it on Vegan Ginger RC1.
Go grab the apk from the link below.
So far it looks really good,
Typing in landscape is easier, since the keys are much bigger than the stock one this rom comes with.
having arrows on screen is a big plus
And it has lots of symbols you can use by long pressing.
Speaking of long pressing you can change the time it takes to long press in the settings.
Will try post some pics later
Here is the site if you guys want to check it out for yourself.

Known issues:
Long pressing on the settings key causes a FC.
Curious if thats the case with other roms
How did you get your keyboard to work with your tablet? I've tried several keyboards besides the one that came with my tablet and ROM (TnT Lite 4.2.5) and it won't even let me select the box to make it a choice.
Try unchecking any other input devices/kb from the settings. I had similar issues when i had other kb enabled

You have to move the Thumb Keyboard apk file from "data/app" to "system/app" via Root Explorer.
Then you reboot and go into your Market and longpress the search text box. You'll be prompted to choose your input method.
Im also testing the keyboard for the developer. So far so good. Always loved the paid version i bought.
I like the new layout though g tabbers will never get to enjoy the multi touch that it now supports (i think our hardware supports only 2 touch points).
Edit: Yes, long press on settings causes a force close on TNT Lite over here too. Reported to developer. I think its actually because he disabled the functionalities for other layouts.

I downloaded, installed, enabled in settings, and selected as the input method. So far it's working just fine. Haven't tested that extensively yet but for now it's pretty awesome.
What's the verdict on this so far? An improvement on the previous version?
Is voice recognition working?
Been using the paid version and it's great. However the voice to text doesn't work. Is that fixed in this version?
It doesn't? Think you need to activate it in settings. Works on my g tab.

Thanks for the help with getting the keyboards working. This is a nice keyboard.
Voice is working fine on my tablet.
I like this keyboard a bunch, hands down the best I've used on the tablet so far. I'll definitely be buying it when it comes out of Beta.
agree. Very very happy with it.
does this not do spelling or auto correct ?

I have not checked the voice part yet, but spelling and auto correct works fine.
Both the market version (3.0.2) and this version are constantly FCing for me / not working at all under CM7 and I'm pulling my hair out trying to understand why.
The more I use this keyboard the more I like it. I keep noticing things that are just well thought out and useful, like the long-press for smilies on the left space bar and .com (and long-press for .net and others) button. Even common fractions on the center-right number pad. Very cool, very useful, and definitely a keeper. It's been rock solid and stable under VEGAn 5.1.1. I'll definitely be buying a copy when the full version is released.
Please give complete paths. There are several data directories on my system but none contain an apps folder. My system folder does though. I installed it and it shows but i can't enable it. Runs fine with just a standard install on vegan ginger.

Strangest thing.... Was on CNA, decided to try ICSSGS, didn't like it as well so flashed back and calendar was there. I assume because I did not wipe on the flash back to CNA?
FWIW, I have tried this, ICSSGS, and CM9. CNA is my favorite. I have had almost no issues. 1 app won't run, but it is from my small, local bank.

That issue is fixed on ICSSGS and maybe others, I'm not certain if it involves some adjustments ROM-side, or it should be fixed by using latest gapps. I previously encountered the issue but haven't seen it in quite some time.
The alternative would be buying them in the browser/pc.
How To Print Screen
Anyone know how I would perform a print screen?
Nevermind, found the answer (Volume Down + Power Button)
Hi guys,
I'm interested in trying this ROM out.
I'm coming from Serendipity VII, which if I understand correctly is I9000 based. Just to make sure I understand what I'm doing, I should just be able to reboot to recovery, and install the CNA ROM from the zip file, correct? Any other steps necessary?
Thanks

I got it installed (with the Glitch kernel - running at 1.4Ghz so far), and I'm very impressed
The only issue I haven't yet been able to figure out is the external SD card. It seems that it now gets mounted under /mnt/emmc/ ? For whatever reason, the music player can't find the media that I have on the external SD card. Any ideas? I can find it using ES File Explorer and play the files individually.
Privacy
There has been an ever-increasing number of apps which want access to private information (like call logs, location, and contact information) without needing it to run the application. I'm talking about games and not apps which require such information like Anti-virus and such. Will we ever have a permission manager a la MIUI on this ROM? I understand that many developers work in concert, so I am wondering why most ROM's are not created with safeguards in place to protect private information. I am aware that I am not in the MIUI Q&A section, but I feel this is an issue that all ROM's should consider in order to protect private information. I know that I don't have to install apps which ask for this information if I don't want to give up my information, but it seems that every app nowadays asks for these permissions and it would be a shame to continue as if there were nothing wrong with compromising private information to play a game.
Thanks in advance.
I was one if the unlucky ones that had no 3g data after flashing this rom, flashed glitch, moved apn-conf.XML to the /system/etc/ directory overwriting the old file.
This did not bring data back. I decided to look at the apn list and noticed that it was blank. Clicked the menu button, then selected reset to defaults. Ten minutes later I had data.
Lock Screen
Has the lock screen been updated to allow for custom applications where it shows the icon of the custom application instead of that alien looking character? This was one of the reasons I moved away from this ROM and would love to come back. I'm not a fan of having to try to remember which application ties to which alien character.

Not yet. It still shows the animated android.
Nostalgia shows the custom icons on the ICS lock screen. (haven't flashed any other ICS roms yet.)
Update 3/24:
All aosp roms do not show custom icons.
All aokp based roms do show custom icons.
aosp also seems a little laggier than aokp. Playing angry birds space @ 1.3 ghz resulted in click and audio lag. (Gummy charged was my aosp test platform at that time).
Docs runs blazing fast at same speed with no click lag. Aokp m28 clocked at 800 MHz / glitch runs smooth. I think this is because of the scrolling cache which I force disabled in from control.
Thanks for your work bringing ics to captivate.
Any way to disable the proximity sensor in this rom? The thing is the cappy i purchased came with that sensor dead.. This makes the phone freeze while making calls for example.. I'm using right now MIUI 2.3.2 Gingerbread 2.3.7 and I can disable it with almost no effort at all..
Thanks in advance

Sorry but I don't really see how the rotation would be related to the proximity sensor functionalities. I could try that, but I would be more than grateful if you could explain me a little further the relationship between those two.. Anyways I have to download the rom, nandroid backup, and flash everything to test it out.
Thanks for the reply

you are correct, the proximity sensor does not control rotation. a bit a of a flub on my part sorry.
here are some things I tried with my AOKP rom (don't think the AOSP - CNA is too much different?)
1) There is no setting in the call menu for the proximity sensor.
2) However if you cover your sensor (which is broken anyways right?) a dab of black nail polish, to block all the light from it. I covered my sensor with my thumb and the screen stayed on. However if the problem is deeper within your hardware (possibly the control IC for the sensor), it will still lock up when it tries to access the current state of the sensor.
3) It's possible from what I've found that your sensor is okay, and that there is an internal blockage to the sensor cover. (though, my phone didn't lock up with the sensor covered?). Try canned air/ Vacuum to clear the blockage?
4) There are a several application options as none of the ICS roms I've used appear to have that MIUI option.

A little background. I finally got PA rom on my phone and realized that I needed GPS and I wanted some of the feature on PACman. After about 4 hours with PA, I flashed PACman.
1st, This rom is awesome. It's very quick and seems stable. I've had one restart since using it (about 24hours now). I love all the features but I have a few questions.
1. How do you change the pie colors? Can you change the colors of the items in the notification bar without applying a theme?
2. I'd like the items on the screen: browser, keyboard, etc... to be a bit bigger. How do I do this?
3. I did a Titanium backup before flashing, but it doesn't say I have anything to restore. There is an option to extract from a nandroid backup, but that's with the paid version. Before I buy, does that work?
4. I used the Moto Smartactions app a lot. Is there a way to get that back?
5. I use gmail mostly, but still use the 'email' app. I guess I'm used to the Moto 'email' app, is there a way to get that back?
6. To pickup 4G lte, what's the correct APN?
7. With PIE controls, how do you access Google Now?
I'm hoping for a bluetooth fix too. I can find devices but can't connect to them.
Well your Titanium backup must have been deleted when you did a system wipe or factory reset during the PACman installation. The best full backup in my opinion is going to be CWM (nandroid). I don't know the answers to your other questions since I never use those features
1. Go into Settings, Hybrid Properties, swipe right to open the sidebar, go to Interface, uncheck "Enable per app color" (unless you want that), and change the colors to your liking (I can't seem to get them to stick. The bottom 2 are for the status bar.)
2. By bigger do you mean the address bar and such? Turn the 2 sliders in the Interface tab (directions above) to the far right and make sure it says phone in the box above it.
3. If you made a nandroid backup before flashing PAC, restore that, change the Titanium backup location to your external SD card, backup, then restore the backup of PAC.
4. Use Tasker or Llama or a similar app.
5. Use the one from the Gapps zip that you flashed (you did flash Gapps, right?).
6. Use the "ATT Phone" APN that comes already activated with the ROM. The signal bars will show 0 when using 4G on any 4.2.2 ROM.
7. You don't.

1. That's what I was doing, but it doesn't stick for me either. I thought I was doing something wrong. Anyone know a fix ? @skeevydude ?
2. That's what I have my setting on, but it seems that, for example, when the keyboard comes up, it's much smaller than it used to be.
3. Ok, that was probably my problem, I should have backed it up to the SD. When you restore from TB, would it bring back all my text/other data?
4. I've heard Tasker is good, but I'll miss Smartaction
5. I did flash GApps, from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314604
6. That's what I'm on now, working good :good:
7. No way to access G now? I actually got used to using it to send text etc... when I'm in the car.
Example for #2, screen size. Here's a photo of my email. Everything seems so much smaller than it did on stock. Maybe my eyes are going bad.
You can access Google with the navigation ring or setting it as a long press on pie I believe.

Thanks for everyone's help.
I use Nova prime, so I used the swipe up gesture to access Google Now, works fine, problem solved
I made sure I was in stock phone UI, the keyboard is still small. I'll check around the swype keyboard options.
I changed the settings for Nova in the quick settings menu to 720p and adjust the size manually. This helps alot, but I have to do this for each app. I wish I could set it at one standard across the board.
I still can't seem to get the keyboard any bigger.
On that note. The ATT AHD had swype keyboard on it stock. Is there a way to get that back. I purchased swype for my Nexus 10, but I like the stock AHD version better because it doesn't have that 'dragon' feature. Is there a way to extract that keyboard from the stock version?

@skeevydude, Thanks a ton! Unfortunately, it didn't work. It installed but once I enabled it as the default keyboard I continually get a popup message saying Swype has stopped. Oh well, I still have the newer version, just really don't like that Dragon feature...it's overkill.

Try pushing or copying to /system and set the permissions the same as the other apps (644,rw-r-r). That was a system app. And uninstall any and all traces of swipe before doing this.
A few other questions (I don't want to whore up the PAC rom thread)
It may be a setting, but when I open most apps (chrome, play store, etc...) there is a bar of either color or white between the status bar and the window. I can't figure out how to get rid of that.
Also, on the pro version of ROM toolbox: Does the boot animation installer work on this phone?
@skeevydude,
Here's a screenshot of what I meant in the last post. The line between the Now header and the status bar. It is like this on nearly all apps. It's not a big deal, but I didn't know if there is a setting I'm missing to fix this.

Are you talking about the 160 character limit? I don't know that there's a "fix" for the stock messaging client. Not all phones can handle messages over 160, so you could run into issues dealing with other phones/networks.
You could try another SMS client. Pansi is awesome for GB, and has a toggle for the 160 character limit. It's my favorite messaging app and fully themeable. GoSMS was also nice, but I don't recall the ability to toggle the 160 limit.

The stock messaging application works well, and I use it on occasion (actually, I've trimmed things down and use it as my primary right now). It just splits large messages into parts. Some carriers can't or won't deal with large messages.
Pansi is really nice. I'd use it with adfree; the older version of Pansi was a no-ad option, but they've recently changed. It's still an awesome app.
