Can anyone recommend a good tasr switcher/closer that actually works on the PDA2K.
I've tried vBaar (used on XDA2) but will not work in 2003SE.
Magic Buttons - great but screws up when the phone is on.
Any suggestions?
Mike
I use Pocket Plus, no problems yet.
wisbar and wisbar advanced are doing great too...
pocket plus seems to make my bluetooth headset to stop working...wisbar advance makes your phone unable to show incoming calls if the phone app is not initialized. I use handy switcher, it's ok.
Try using wisbar advance from www.lakeridgesoftware.com

I use Magic Button and it works ok. I do change it from on to off to get the notifications to work though (but all you have to do it tap/hold the icon).

I use handyswitcher and it is ok. I like to use my device one-handed, however, when I click on close all applications, it resets the phone. Instead I have to go to the phone screen and select close all except active. There is no option to just close the active program. I have mapped handy switcher to one of my hardware keys. If someone has something better where you can map it to a hardware button and close or switch programs let me know.
I use handy switcher and when i chose close all it works fine. No reset.

It does work much better than the previous version, but still doesn't handle screen rotation very well.

As mentioned by other writer, WA hides all phone and signal strength icons. Plus I had trouble receiving incoming ph calls. Chris is working on a PPC phone edition version which I understand is almost ready for Beta testing. SPB Plus 2.2 version is working ok here.

I use SPB Pocket Plus... it isn't freeware, but it is absolutely the best task managing app I've found for the PPC.

Hi Mike,
Just tried this program, it's great speedy program. I am not sure why, but the front in smallmenu comes out quite big (unlike the one in their website). I looked everywhere to see if I can reduce the front size. Any suggestion?

Easiest way is probably install Iris again and make it default if not already then untick default, exit check PIE is default then remove Iris...
Hope this helps.
Just wondering is Iris any good?

I.M.O it's needs alot of work it's slow and don't think alot has gone into making it user friendly for SP, i tend to try each new version that comes out and then end up removing it.

First, is there any way to enable auto-punctuation when typing a text from the physical keyboard? It's not a deal breaker, just kind of a minor annoyance.
Second, also pertaining to messaging, is there any way to enable sending the message on hitting enter?

As of now there is no way to do both the things you are asking about but i am sure as the time passes,we all be finding new things so hang tight
Haha no worries. I just upgraded from my G1 (I got on day one) running CM 5.0.7, so I'm just missing a few small features.
I can wait 'til root happens here.

if swype is set for text input, auto punctuation doesn't work with the hardware keyboard. you have to turn on 'prediction' in the hardware qwerty options for the punctuation.

First, I downloaded handscent from the market and it allows send on hitting enter and it has a nice pop-up too.
Second, I have the HTC keyboard suggesting on the hard keyboard and it does auto punctuation. Hope this helps.

Haha .. phone is really slacking with the hard keyboard, you always have to click fields to get it to type and this non auto punctuating sucks I mean it use to auto correct i to I and it can't even do that let alone apostrophe's and such
Just tried the htc_ime with auto prediction and spell correct on, on the hard keyboard.. wow, its awesome and just as fast as not having it on.. on the g1 it would make the phone and typing a pain and slower with the hard keyboard. Too bad that you have to have touch keyboard enable for it to work, I like swype better for the virtual keyboard.
excuse my ignorance, but where are the htc_ime settings, the physical keyboard is driving me effing crazy. it was fine on my cliq, did all the auto punctuate and such, it feels like there are no useful settings for the keyboard for the phone.
thanks yous

the keyboard is there but not settings. just like the dragon kb
If your using touch input instead of swype, then just go to settings, language and keyboard, touch input, text input, prediction and spell correction enabled for hardware QWERTY.. then it will auto correct and auto correct very good. The prediction gets kinda annoying but it has to be on. I wish there was a way to get it to work while having swype enabled for the soft keyboard.
Turbo, I have everything checked for hardware qwerty. Maybe ill just wait for root and vanilla 2.1-2.2
Long click on a text field, input method, touch input.. then try
Oh my how we have de-volved.
Buy BetterKeyboard from the market, enable it, go into settings and check off "(experimental) show suggestions for physical keyboard". No device is perfect right out of the box and that's why we're here.
Its so weird that it auto corrects everything in gtalk! Try it out let me know if its only my phone
Okay so the phone autocorrects everything perfectly, other than in the stock messaging app! But gtalk browser and email all get corrected. I also installed handcent and it autocorrects in there! Seems like the stock messaging app will definitely need an update.
Just get better keyboard, Battery life 24H!!

It has no Live Wallpaper support because it's still alpha release.
And this feature has lower priority than other stuff that have to be fixed.

It won't have live wallpaper anytime soon. They are not worth fixing because they drain battery crazy fast and are darn slow on our devices. I think they were disabled on purpose in FroYo.
hi, can you tell us, what is working and what no in this build?
I refer about the bluetooth, camera, wifi...

Hi, dedalum!
On Blackstone BT does not work, wifi and data works, camera.... I'll test it! (I think it wont work) --Tested, but the news are bad!
The old kernels does not work with Gingerbread, so camera does not work, yet!
I tried two different kernels, for the camera testing and for the anti-audio stuttering MOD, in the both cases it cant reach the homescreen.
As nasko_spasko mentioned, camera seems out of reach for the moment...
I also asked in VirusCrazy's camera testing thread, and he also gives Gingerbread "low chance", something for the future...
But I should add that there is (probably more than one) kernel out here that fixes audio stuttering, I'm using Gingerbread with a modified 1253 kernel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11169582&postcount=76
Audio and Wifi great, battery life ~ 20-30 hours (using periodic data for ClockSynch and some weather sync, but nothing else)
Cheers,
Robbert

The audio is the most important issue for me.
I have GBX0A running with 1255 kernel. It's the only one that doesn't give me audio-stuttering since Gingerbread won't boot with the 1498 kernel.
The latest kernels 1260/1262 both work but give audio-stutter.
Only thing i'd like is a new rootfs with keymapping for Blackstone like in the rootfs from 2011-01-31.
very nice build. i have one question though... why is the clock lazy?
it is like the android minute is a second short. is there a fix for this?

Am i the only one having trouble with the keyboard not showing up properly? it's only about 20px high and it's impossible to see there are different keys but if you drag your finger around the popup with the different characters show up so it works but seem to be scaled incorrectly...
I tried long pressing on a text field to switch keyboard and the chineese keyboard works just fine but that doesn't really help me...

Keyboard is a known issue.
Recommendation: get Thumb keyboard from Market. It's free and has different layouts and looks.
Fix for alignment squares: use old ts-calibration file from another build, or use the one attached below. Just remove the extension and put it in the same folder as haret and startup.

Use build in Japan IME. It has Latin characters on the numeric keyboard (like in non touchscreen phones). Should be enough to log into market and download gingerbread keyboard.

Or just put the apk inside the AndroidApps folder (it's inside the andboot one). It will auto-install at boot.
I like the app "Gingerbread keyboard" though. I use it in froyo too.

Thanks so much for that, I owe you a huge beer!
Yes this version is working like a charm !
Its very fast and stable
Before you post the link to the XDA noob video, no, this isn't a question about 'how to enable autocorrect on the stock keyboard'
It's actually a question about autocorrect on the stock Samsung Keyboard.
Is there any way to force the autocorrect bar to permanently stay above the keyboard when XT9 is enabled, like the Gingerbread keyboard? When typing in, say, the Messaging app, the autocorrect bar pops up when I enter something and disappears when I hit space, making the little text entry box go up-and-down-and-up-and-down making me quite dizzy since my eyes have to bob up and down.
I would just use the gingerbread keyboard but the banding on that kb is annoying.
If it matters, GT-i9100, VR1.1, pulser_g2's KE2 multi-CSC package (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14254203#post14254203)
Thanks!
Im currently using the Gingerbread Keyboard from Marketplace, as far as im aware there is nothing at the moment that can be done to stop the autocorrection box appearing/Disappearing !
i think the samsung keyboard is rather annoying, the space bar is way too small causing me to press the . button atleast 1 in every 5 words.. annoyance !
i have been looking everywhere for a fix, nothing so far!
i hope this thread will get enough attention and the keyboard can be modded.
the only reason im not using samsung keyboard is because of this issue
OK, I just downloaded the version from the Market (the free one from Steven Lin, right?).
No banding )) but vibrate on keypress doesn't do anything.
Can you test on yours and see if vibe works?
Thanks!
X9 in settings that is what enables it. Though doesn't work on custom roms I have no idea why.
Cheers.
You mean to enable autocorrect for the stock Samsung keyboard?
Re-read my post. I have no problem enabling it, but it's the execution that is annoying.
If only I could get vibration working for the Gingerbread keyboard (the apk I got off xda works, but there's noticeable banding, while the one off the market has no banding but vibe doesn't work).

+1
I am also using the Gingerbread Keyboard and it is 100% better, more responsive and better with predictive text than the crappy Samsung KB.
At the end of the day I got HTC_IME installed and will probably be sticking with that.
No banding, vibration works, autocorrect is great & doesn't give me a seizure. Only problem is that it crashes the Samsung Email app (but I use the stock Gmail app so it's not a problem).
Does anyone know how to get vibration working on the Market GB kb?
Thanks!

if you use gingerbread KB you need to change the Vibrate setting to "normal" in advanced settings and it should work !

Why thank you very much. I have returned the favor
Well actually I would have thanked you either way, since setting the vibe intensity to Normal as you suggested worked.

I'd recommend Thumb Keyboard or Swiftkey X Beta. both a LOT better than the Samsung KB and both offer superior prediction and customisation. Thumb has split KB and customisation too.

Is it just me or does the vibrate seem to be a bit stronger than other keyboards (particularly the Samsung one)? Just a minor niggle lol.
whoo hundredth post! I'm a senior member now
Smart Keyboard Pro for me.
Another keyboard to consider is Smart Keyboard Pro. It has tons of options to configure.

Can you still use swype with one of these keyboard apps?
I use swiftkey x and swype alternatively depending on what I'm typing. The prediction in swiftkey is spooky good.
I bought Smart Keyboard Pro. Autocorrect is as good as the others and I like the themes. Which one should I stick with...
