I have two questions:
1) Where can I get a 4x3 music widget? 4x2 is too small and 4x4 too big
2) How can i get swype to work with the gingerbread keyboard?

Not sure about #1, and #2 what do you mean? Like how do you install swype? Because that depends on what ROM you are using, some versions of swype don't play nicely with certain ROMs
oh i had cm 6.1 and there was no swype with the gingerbread keyboard.
currently i am using cr mod and would like to implement the gingerbread keyboard but i dont want to lose swype so I'm wondering if i can get swype to go with gingerbread

Is your ROM odexed or deodexed?
If it's odexed, push both of the files in the attached zip to /system/app
if it's DEodexed, push the attacked APK to /system/app
Swype is a keyboard of its own, you can't just install it on top of another keyboard.

But he's running cr_mod with the gingerbread keyboard, so why can't he just push back swype, its original to the rom, it should work if it is pushed to /system/app, would it not? I don't know I could be wrong.

What he means is that Swype doesnt work on top of other keyboard, its a keyboard on its own, sure he can install the APK, but he will have to switch to Swype if he wants to use it, he cant use "both".
oh i see. anyway, i found that meridian player pro has a 4x3 music widget but then i realized i got it backwards. i'm actually looking for a 3x4 one

its not posible, you need to be rooted, because the stock rom for the slide doesn't have livewallpaperpicker.apk and you cant just install it like other apks
I just installed it with appinstaller on my wifes never before modded slide and I can select live wallpapers but it force closes after I select "the application live wallpaper picker (process android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly."

I have found that enabling livewallpapers will break the bootanimation on the stock slide rom w/root...
I reverted to the rooted slide stock for the 1000KB mms limit and have been adding the extras here and there.
edit. I have a Zip for you to flash on top of your rom in recovery. it will add optimized live-wallpapers and the new cyanogen CM6 boot-animation.. Also because of the slides outrageously fast boot-up you may or may not see the end of the boot animation.
i thank you for this as i have been looking into this as well. this is much appreciated
Have you used a home alternative???

on a stock ROM without lwp support it will not work, the hjome alternatives do not include these tweaks

this is probably a dumb question and I might be setting myself up for a noob drumming... but does this only work with stock ROMs or will it work with any ROM? I have been trying to replace the "Droid" boot animation on Eugene's SlideMR1v4 and have been failing badly. either way I will be downloading this for my mother-in-law's rooted but otherwise stock MTS
if you are looking for a way to remove boot animation then just flash a new one, or put a bootanimation.zip in /data/local if you are looking for lwps with this then you should be able to flash it no problem
So if I add this zip I won't need adw to get LWs? Will I still be able to keep all the HTC widgets? Right now I'm using slidemerootr1.Thanks in advance.
This is only for STOCK (non livewallpaper Roms.) A Launcher like ADW or Launcher2 or whatever is still needed to see the live wallapapers.
this should work on other roms as well.
also if you dont want the bootanimation from cyan cm6 use 7zip to remove the bootanimation.zip from /data/local/ in the zip
Thank you for the replies. You say you have a zip file is it available for download?

Ok so now that we have established that we can add live wallpaper support, how would someone get the new droid x wallpaper and the samsung galaxy s to work on the slide. I'm pretty sure its due to the image size and/or a missing library file, can anyone add to this?

Is there a way to keep it from being killed? Because whatever sprint did to it when they changed it from stock to sprint iD, it now takes forever to load my setup and the app drawer, and its getting annoying!
Sent from my always stock, EC05 Epic 4G
I think the only things you can do that I know of is not run the "infected stock launcher" or sprintID and install a 3rd party laucher that looks like the default launcher or install the stock launcher from ASOP. From what I can tell the "infected" launcher is in launcher2.apk so sprint at least left us the option of stock without rooting even if they don't realize it.

So, from what you said, I'm gathering that we can still access the stock launcher2.apk? Because, the launcher2.apk is sprint iD in EC05? I guess I didn't understand what you said well lol

That's what I get for trying to type and I talk at the same time...
If you just try to switch to the stock launcher by clearing Twlauncher as the default, and just selecting "launcher" when you hit the home button, it will activate SprintID for the "clean" ID (which is lame!).

Lol, I know how to get to it, its what I'm currently using. I need to know how to keep it from being killed after using a couple of apps. It takes forever to load compared to the stock launcher2.apk that was in eb13. Its annoying.

I have every 3rd party launcher available, this doesn't come close to answering my original question. I usually use LauncherPro or Launcher7, but I want to try the stock one. If you don't have an answer to my question, don't post. Simple.

I hate this swype and samsung keyboard how do I get the original gingerbread keyboard that comes with aosp?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Im coming from the Evo and was dearly missing the Sense keyboard. Got SwiftX Keyboard and it has pretty much made me happy. A little different then the sense KB, but very good, give it a try.
Go to market
search "gingerbread keyboard"
should be the first one.
after download, hit menu > settings > keyboards
enable gingerbread keyboard
go to somewhere where you can type. long press the message bar, hit "input method", choose gingerbread keyboard.
done.
GB keyboard is the best kb out imo. looks great works even better
Actually, the samsung keyboard is supposed to be a skinned version of stock gbread keyboard with a little feature tweaking. When I typed on it yesterday it seemed to behave exactly the same way.

I like how the stock gingerbread keyboard allows you to delete the entire voice statement without deleting it manually 1 by 1

I just installed my first ICS rom and love almost everything about it...
Except I hate the new 3 tab dialer. By removing contacts and groups from the top it forces me to use both the phone and contacts apps, which takes up another slot on my dock. I hate this.
Is there a GB phone.apk/contacts.apk or something that can allow me to run the old contacts.apk or phone.apk in ICS?
I have tried the 3rd party dialers such as dialer one, exdialer, go dialer, etc. I dislike all of them. They seem buggy and laggy and I don't like the kiddy look of most of them. Anyone have a solution?
Thanks
This bothered me at first too, but I realized that it does have a spot for all your contacts.
If your opening the phone, click on the tab for your favorites. Then scroll down past them and you should see your full contact list appear with the ability to quick search through them. It's a little different depending if your on a touchwiz or AOSP ROM but the functionality is still there in both. This solved my need for having a separate contacts app in the dock.

I too am unimpressed with the ICS dialer and contacts. i would love to keep the ICS blue theme and the actual keypad, but go back to the GB tab configuration. is anybody working on this?
I, agree as well, i would like to use the dialer and swype keyboard from strongsteves odex blu GB Rom. Does anyone know how to do this?

Yeah, my wife loves everything ICS on her Skyrocket, except for the dialer. She still prefers the GB dialer. Anyone know a way to get that ported?
I am using Go dialer but my problem is that it takes a while to make a phone call. When I select a contact it takes like 3 or 4 seconds to engage.
Any suggestions
thanks
wow no dev interest?
ICS dialer sucks.
I heard there was a big improvement to the keyboard from JB. Since I am on Samsung, how can I convert to use the JB keyboard instead of Samsung?
is there a way to program from the keyboard to automatically predict the next word, instead of having to hit the suggestions?
Just use SwiftKey keyboard 3. It's the best.

It might be part of the GAPOS 4.2. Check in the theme section. Once you have the app installed, you can change the what keybaord to use in the setting.
