Hey guys first post here. Just got my EVO last week. Currently running the latest virus rom with KingKlick kernel. Awesome forum here lots of educated guys. Question is: is it possible to lets say use swype for messages and touch input for dolphin browser? Customize input methods for apps. What input methods do you guys recommend. I really like swype for texting but that is about it.
Currently, the short answer is no. You have to manually change them anytime you want to use a different keyboard. The easiest way to do it is to long press an input box, hit input methods, and then select the one you want to use. Its a little work, but currently that's the best you can do. I'm sure Android could somehow be modified to make it work, but my uneducated guess is its fairly deep in the system and would require a lot of work to makes such a thing automatic.

Hey XDA,
I just upgraded my G1 to Evo4g (finally). Since my Evo has 2.3.3, I'm yet to root and throw a custom rom on it. In due time, I'm sure the genii, here at XDA, will solve this problem. So, in the mean time, I have been messing around with the settings, and options, as most people do with a brand new phone. I have come to the conclusion that I like the Gingerbread keyboard layout better than that of the Swipe. On the other hand, I have been playing around with the Swipe feature, and have decided that I would like to get more fluent with the Swipe. Bringing us to the question at hand...
Is there a way to enable the Swipe feature on the Gingerbread Keyboard? If no easily available method can attain this task, what is required to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance.
-P.S. I apologize if this post is threaded in the wrong place, and would you please point me in the appropriate direction (this is my 1st post ever on a fourm).
hi all,
I'm looking for custom Rom with specific elements. Hopefully this exists as I wouldn't even know where to start building this myself.....
basically I'm happy enough with stock ICS with these exceptions;
1) no smart dialler (dialling 5645 = john for example)
2) ability to send group text messages without manually typing each name/number i.e select from list.
3) access messages etc directly from the lock screen
4) maintain the look and feel (UI) of stock ICS
any thoughts/suggestions are greatly appreciated
1. You can change the dialer back to it's original state by yourself.
2. That sounds like something a app such as Handcent, GO SMS can do.
3. You can do this with AOKP.. You can fully customize your lock screen with what you want on it instead of Unlock + Camera.
4. All ROMs maintain the look and feel of stock UI for the most part. Except MIUI.
hi, thanks for the reply.
1) in terms of smart dialler, I'm not aware this is available by default. If it is can you tell me how?
2) you are correct that an app such as go sms can achieve this, and this is what I am currently using however I would like to do this in the default client.
3) aopk seems to be a custom rom which allows you to access any choice if program from the lock screen which is great and worth considering if it meets my other requirements. From a lock screen my main considerations would be messages and calls/dialled, so if another rom ticks the other boxes and offers these two I'm a happy man.

1) That option is enabled by default on most ROMs (include aopk). AFAIK it's not available on the stock ROM.
2) I think you will want/need an app for this no matter which ROM you choose.
3) Every custom ROM I know of will satisfy (of your OP) #1 and #3, most will also satisfy #4, and none that I'm aware will satisfy #2 (without an app of course).
So, basically, pick a couple of ROMs to try and see what you like! (It's part of the fun of having a Nexus device )

jdk82 got it.. you can disable the T9 dialer in AOKP, I was never bothered by it but the setting to disable it is in the phone options. Didn't know that
#2. The stock texting app is closed source. Developers can't modify it but they can skin it. You'll have to resort to a third-party app.
#3. You can make it Octo, Quado and setup what app you want to be on that unlock lock screen. Has a lot of options.
.. also do some research on what kernel you'd like to use. They help with performance and battery life.
cheers for the replies. Can't help but thinking these features should be in there by default, but each to their own. Guess its time to start flashing some custom roms and having a play, it was always fun on my old touch hd so hopefully the nexus will be even better.
Since the Gnex is a nexus (developer) device it should at least have more developer community, and thus options, around it. To me, that alone makes it more fun

EDIT: This thread has gone dead, updated the title as it also applies to the most recent version of the ROM. Still looking for answers on the questions in bold format. Especially the last one - about the radio version, as the rest really is about features in the ROM. Thanks!
Hi,
This is my first post in these forums, so I hope you'll bare with me. I am trying to stick to the rules, and have searched a lot for answers, but still have some questions. I really appreciate this forum, and I can thank you for my phone not being totally outdated (Thanks HTC...)
First of all I want to say thank you for a great ROM! I can't post in the official thread just yet, but hopefully I will get there soon.
I have a few issues/questions/suggestions though:
- Both in v.6, 6.5 and 7 I get an error when enabling notifications in facebook. After a minute or so I get a notification that fb notifications have been disabled because my phone doesn't support push-messages. But I'm sure it does, cause I get push notifications from other apps. Without this function the fb app loses half of its value. Solved
- My phone automatically reboots when I try to access soundhound from within the fm-radio, is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a fix?
- I've seen this posted before,but have yet to find an answer. Although enabling arrow keys for the keyboard this will only enable them on the English keyboard. Could you please be so kind and add this option for the other languages as well? Would be great if you could just choose "enable arrow keys", and this would then be on all keyboards.
- It would be great being able to zoom in/out in the camera appwith the volume buttons. This used to be standard in the official ROMs.
- I saw someone in the official thread saying that you could pull down the notification bar when the phone is locked. I actually had it the same way, but just now found out that there wasn't actually a real screen lock enabled. Yes, I got the pattern screen every time I unlocked the phone, but then realized any pattern would be accepted. When I configured a new screen lock in the settings it was no longer possible to pull down the notification bar when locked =)
- Is it okay to batch restore all apps and system settings in Titanium backup when you upgrade to a new version of the same ROM, or do I have to do each one manually? I'm not sure exactly what all the 200+ items change, so it's kind of hard selecting them. Any tips&tricks on this would be much appreciated (Links etc. too).
FYI: I am using a Desire HD, full wiped and installed the ROM, but am using RADIO 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M. The reason I never changed this is because I didn't experience most of the issues others were describing in the official thread. Could any of my problems be caused by this? And would there be any huge advantages to changing Radio? Also - and this might be a stupid question, but please forgive me as I am really new to this stuff - Is the BeastMode Kernel automatically flashed with the ROM?
Thanks in advance!
I have had some of the problems you have listed above and it's all down to restoring via Tibackup (I learnt the hard way!)
I just checked mine and I can pull down the notification bar when locked, so it does work (I have a lock screen pattern enabled). Unfortunately when doing a batch restore it messes up the phone's ID in some way, so fb thinks your phone isn't a DHD and hence cannot handle push notifications. You may even find if youlog into google play on a pc that it says 'device not found' or 'incompatible device' when looking to install apps.
Right, this is what you need to do.
1. Do a full backup via Tibackup
2. Boot into recovery and execute factory reset
3, Install Sabsa Prime 7 (perform full wipe)
4. install TiBackup
5. Restore all app and data (NOT system data) - this can be a batch restore
6. Select backup/restore (middle tab) and from the list, restore contacts, messages, people, dialer storage (most of the ones highlighted in green).Remember data only.
Now you will have all your apps restored and your latest contacts and messages. You can also restore bluetooth pairings, wifi and even settings.
You will need to set your homescreens again but everything should now work.
Thanks for your reply, much appreciated
I really don't care much about whether I can pull down the notification bar when locked, or not. I just noticed I could do it until I changed the lock screen pattern.
Thanks a lot for your detailed advice on the other stuff! I'll definitely try it when I have a little more time to spare.
I still wonder about the arrow keys though, because they are only on the English keyboard (I'm pretty sure it was that way even before I restored apps and settings). And of course being able to zoom with the volume keys would be great.
This might be a noobie question, but is "2. Boot into recovery and execute factory reset" really necessary? What's the difference between this and a full wipe?
2. Probably isn't necessary, but it's a habit of mine before installing a rom as early versions of Sabsa Prime didn't have the option in installer, infact there was no installer!
As for the arrows, download SwiftKey keyboard, best keyboard I've seen, has many languages and arrow option.

bluetooth issue
hi i install the sabsa prime rom v7 but i have a issue whit the bluetooth, my bletooth device is a sonyericsson mw 600, i can connect and the music sound for the bluetooth but the audio of the calls don't sound for that , but the call controls in the bluetooth work's fine, if could tell me how i can fix that i wil be so grateful.
sorry my bad english
thank's to all
Ok, cool. Thanks bob!
Tried Swiftkey (and Go and some other wellknown keyboard) a while back. Like the keyboard, but the auto-correct for Norwegian was really poor. The standard keyboard has by far the best recognition of words that I have experienced.
EDIT:
Followed your instructions when flashing the new v8.5, and it has fixed the issues I experienced with fb =)
But the phone still reboots when I try to use soundhound from within the fm radio-app (but not with another radio, like the TuneIn Radio)...
Would love an answer regarding the Radio-version too (Never mind the question about the Kernel, figured that one out).
Shouldn't it be pretty easy to include the arrows for all languages, not only for the English keyboard? This is a function I really miss badly, makes things so much easier..
@Jaune: Sorry, I have no idea..
Still in v.9 the arrow keys only work for the English keyboard. Is there any way to implement this also for other languages?
And I see everyone is talking about a camera 4.2 - search xda. Well, I have searched and searched and can't seem to find it..
Found this though http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867966.
Any thoughts on using this with Sabsa Prime v.9?

As for your QUESTION, I dont think this is doable, even if you could find the apk for that version. This is because all apps are signed with certain keys. If the key matches that of an installed app, the installation is aborted if the version you are trying to install is lower than the present one. One workaround that may/may not work would be to get the apk, extract it, zip it back up and then sign it with some random keys (like the AOSP public keys) and then install it. The only problem with this would be that I have no idea as to whether the system would detect that as a "valid" keyboard since it would be installing as a user app, and also since there is another Swype present. So yeah. Just my 2 cents on it

yea great thanks for the help guys...
So I'm not sure how to go about describing this issue, so I'll just take a stab at it by saying that the android keyboard will not ever autocorrect "youre" to "you're". Instead it would rather correct it to "your". Yes this bothers me a lot because now I have to manually spell out that word whenever I use it. Is there some setting in the android keyboard that I'm missing that makes it understand the difference between your and you're? Some default setting perhaps? I've already cleared out my personal dictionaries for this as well as attempted to add "youre" manually to the personal dictionaries but go figure, the phone won't let that happen. The other reason I'm using the android keyboard is because ever since jellybean came out, the default lg keyboard in the phone seems to have become very slow. And by that I mean I can type faster than the key pop ups have time to pop up. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
Since you've done the only things I could think about, I'm sorry I can't be more helpful. My only recommendation would be trying a different keyboard, I've used Swiftkey for years and really enjoy it! You can try a free trial (1month). Otherwise just try some other free ones?
