[Q] anyway to get swype from galaxy s to install on nexus one?

this swype version (2.8.50.12867) was extracted from orange israel's (Partner) galaxy s.
whenever i try and install this apk it wont install.
is there anything that needs to be change for this galaxy s swype to install correctly on the nexus one?
the reason i am asking is because it is the only swype version to support hebrew text.
thanks

Does this count as piracy? Just askin...

Yes, it's a post to the apk. I reported it over 12 hours ago, guess they're on vacation.

i dont get why it would be wrong especially if its pulled from a different rom. for example, if i pulled it from a g2 (which it comes with already) then hows that wrong? its just like pulling the wifi calling apk. i maybe wrong but its just my opinion.

I second that question...

Because the Swype developers have asked us to stop.

If it's Hebrew swipe support you want, I suggest SlideIT, not the most accurate swype algorithm but the only one with proper Hebrew support.

No, since you can't buy it.
Its given free.
It's exactly like a leaked rom.

I agree! Post the .apk.

Swype from Galaxy S might either rely partially on Samsung framework (not too likely, but not impossible if this version was integrated on a code level - and then someone might have used the framework functions or resources), or employ some kind of detection mechanism to verify the environment it's installing on (quite likely).
I also think this application itself counts just as a leaked ROM would.

The only way it can be posted is if it is part of the rom that it was shipped with.

built-in permission manager?

Hi all,
So I was testing the GN5 and came across a built-in permission manager first thing. Didn't think much of it I mean yes it's a very nice feature and all but then after I had to return the phone, I looked for other references to it online but couldn't find any. It's not available on the Galaxy A8 that's for sure.
So I'm just looking for confirmation that it does indeed exist on every other GN5 out there..

Should've noted that down... but it pops up by itself either before or after download. Didn't need to set anything before hand. Will see if I can dig up the rom info too... it was a test unit for HK
Thanks

That's the only reason I miss aosp or root for. How do you get that? Is it third party app or what? Seems like test build samsung has around for android M update coming soon to note 5.

Does the phone runs on android 6.0 by any chance?

He probably came across a test phone of some sort - with Android 6.0
Android definitely needs something like this...
I hate downloading apps that need random permissions for things (Like a photo editor that needs to read my SMS messages) - It creeps me out and is just weird. I'm sure some permissions are innocent and others are malicious.
This feature will definitely help Android!

fail..... of all the screenshots I took I forgot to take one of the build info. is there anywhere on google that might store that? I already checked Play store.. that only remembers my model number.
on my GN5 it was built in. I was setting it up from scratch, installing new apps etc.

yup I was surprised to see it. I'll see if I can clarify with my PR contact...
I've got Android M on my Nexus 6 and that was pretty buggy. Samsung would've needed a miracle to put their touchwiz on it and maintain such stability at this time so that's highly unlikely.

I am pretty sure that ROM wasn't a 6.0 test rom, but just something Samsung cooked into the Chinese (and HK) ROM... already seen it in some Chinese N9200 before... Could be something unique to said variant, or could be something that can be triggered by change of build file...

No root for my Note 5 lol

I'm done hosting the 935u Files-- It's been a fun run!

It's been a fun run guys-- with bootloader v5 it looks like flashing these files back and forth is potentially going to cause issues and soft bricks.
I no longer have the phone so for now it's coming down.
Love and kisses, I supported and hosted these files for you guys from. Nov 17, 2016 to Feb 21, 2018 and with the boot loader change and me no longer owning the phone it's time to sail into the sunlight.

I think the Odin is wrong. With 935u I have been using Princes Odin in the root thread. Result in no failing.

Thanks for creating a new process thread! I'm going to give this a shot at home when I get off work!

is this Nugat?...

No 6.0.1, there is another 935U thread that was seeing no updates from the OP since June or so.

To clarify, am I able to use this method on my phone? I think it should work, I have G935AUCU4APJ4 for Baseband Version. Thanks for the help. =]

Yes, you're on Bootloader v4 (So is this) so should be no issues

I think this is assumed, but once the U version is flashed the upgrade path for device software should follow Samsung's releases and not the carrier specific releases, correct? No more waiting for the carrier to delay release adding their own software and removing features down the line?

Nuget update zip for this one is what we need.

This version is non-branded and works with this rom, I didn't include the Prince version as there is no reason in this workflow for a modded/tagged non-official version of anything. If anybody has any issues in a specific use case I will add a secondary option. They should not though as the rom is sha signed appropriately. I don't want to get too far off topic but if Odin fails it's usually because the sha isn't passing what Odin is looking for. I'm not seeking to provide anything other than a vanilla supported flow to make it clean and clear. I posted this thread elsewhere and it's already had adopters testing without issue.

Exactly. And the ones thinking they NEED IT NOW aren't reading all the things. Samsung Nougat still has all sorts of animation and interface glitches. It's a beta with plenty of things left unshined and I'm not about to post that here and have a million 'X isn't as wide as X and when i hit X it doesn't Y'
The good news is in the Goodlock comment section Samsung is saying they won't support Goodlock Nougat until the Galaxy S8 which leaves me with a smile. The point of Goodlock is to be more stock like and since they will officially support Nougat with the S8 then we'll likely see all the stock Nougat layout that Goodlock tries to mimic. Now that Nougat is basically setup like Goodlock with a quick toggle row i see no reason for them to mutate it. So Goodlock should be the bees knees. (hopes and dreams, with a reasonable basis) ; p
I said Goodlock and Nougat a lot. :cyclops:

Fair enough, I'll find the latest Prince and put it up. It never surprises me how the same hardware has variance in results.

Everything installed, but I also had to use the Prince Odin.
I haven't had the chance to do much with it yet other than basic setup and app downloads but everything looks to be working really well.

Even with VZ bloat, which I disabled it feels faster that U for me. Faster, less heat and prettier.

All good, i don't want this thread to be filled with these types of things. Stay on topic please.
That said- there are things i know as fact are unfinished in the beta and the end of life on that beta is not going to work for all parties. When they stop updating it there will be yet another factory reset in line for those users. This thread is obviously not a nougat thread, i posted this for people that want something stable that will be updated with non-beta code when it comes available. There is always something out there for people that want to run beta non final software on their phones. That is not what this thread is about.
1. Notifications are not full screen width, it may not bother you but there are bug reports already submitted for this. (I follow the beta)
2. The close all button on the quick switch is white which is just odd and unfinished.
3. For a good amount of people there are animation glitches. I mod a reddit thread filled with 200+ comments about all the pros/cons.
Lastly, I do NOT want this thread to have this kind of back and forth. It serves a purpose, i'm not hosting this on GDrive or Dropbox i'm incurring some cost to put this up for people and in return all i ask is stay on topic and if something else is working for you then good. Keep on keeping on.

Question Charging Animation (Rear Display)

I recently noticed that rear display charging animation is no longer working after updating it to MIUI Global 12.5.2 (Indian Variant) and before updating it was working perfectly fine.

In MIUI 12.5.4 (EEA) it is normal.

Hey, I never noticed this. Can someone tell what's the animation like?

It shows a sort of liquid indicating the battery left and the percentage of the battery left when you plug in the charger

Check pic

I've never noticed as my phone is normally on its back but Xiaomi say that the latest beta weekly has this updated rear display app. And, yes when checking yesterday, it is fully working now and as in the pics above

Did you check your settings? Something may have changed.

I confirmed, it's working for me. I am on the same ROM.

This is just another whiner complaining that something doesn't work while he is probably the cause of his own problems. XDA used to be site dedicated to custom roms and apps from developers, also hackers with mods and shortcuts, now it's just a bunch of whiners, complaining about virtually everything. In the old days, you would be told to go search this site,as well as the internet for these complaints that are here nowadays.

XDA has gone from a site of doer's to a site full of can't doer's and as unfortunate as it is, that's the truth. Go to the main page of this forum and tell me what most of the articles are about. Almost all of them are complaints, I need a cable, my alarm doesn't work, my battery life is bad, I'm stuck in fastboot, how do you flash rom/TWRP, I'm not getting notifications, how do you unlock bootloader, etc...These are all simple questions that are well documented and many of them are in guides, but to find that information, one needs to search.

Did he search the entire web before he started this whine. I would bet not, charging animation not working, now there's a real issue. Read the thread and you will see that others are not having that problem. Now if this user had searched the entire web, they would realize that perhaps the settings got changed somehow or that the data/cache needed to be cleared.

Question LINK: MIUI14 official on Global version

Hi All,
just got TKAMIXM 14.0.1.0, updating at the moment.
will upload for others once i can.

Update:
Link below for anyone wants to try it. It is really good except I noticed slower charging, not sure why.
MIUI14 - Google Drive

Where and on what platform was it published?
can you share the link?

I got it official, I am registered as a pilot tester and I get early updates, official updates.
At the moment it is uploading, 4.5gb so please bare with me. I'll share once ready.
Been using it the last 4 hours, it is really great so far. In about 2 hours I'll use games and see again how it will be. But generally speaking, way better than MIUI13 13.6 global.

How did you update manually?

I am new with this equipment and it has been 2 years since I flashed cell phones. Mine is also Chinese with global ROM
What is the correct way to install it? Wait OTA or how?

OTA , local update file.
To do this go to the update window, and keep pressing on miui logo for about 5 to 10 times. You'll get a message saying additional features added. Then press the 3 dots and choose (choose update package). Should start updating immediately after you go to the ota file downloaded to your device.
If you get any errors for any reason, relocate the file to the following directory ( download - downloaded_rom) and put your file there.

at first, i thought the same, but after a day of using it, way better and faster than before.

Some stuff have been fixed.
For instance when you changed the DPI in MIUI 13, a reboot would reset it (which frankly is a pain...)
Now on MIUI 14 it sticks after reboot

Dark mode seems a bit better implemented as well.
I agree that everything feels slightly snappier (But it was already too notch anyway)
Was considering upgrading to the 13 Ultra or Honor Magic 5 Pro but I am less eager now...

The latest snapdragons are faster, but unless you're gaming it's doubtful you'll feel it in everyday usage.
Battery life likely a bit better and that you would see it.
What I care the most about is the camera. I have a feeling that it's been significantly improved since the phone was released (No idea id MIUI 14 improves it further, too early to tell). Unfortunately DXO doesn't retest later during the phone life so it's hard to tell if the newest phone are actually over performing significantly in that department (Sensors haven't improved much and the software seem to be what makes most of the difference)
