Can Anyone help here, Info of Google is limited or am using wrong Key words,
My Previous phone was the N97 and perfect Keyboard, Long Space Bar!!!!
This phone regardless how much i try i cannot Stop hitting that Full Stop key,
Everything els is Perfect,
Is there any mod? hack tweak app or anything to remove that Full Stop key to the right hand side of the space key :-(
lol
Thanks
I don't know of any such hack. The Americans would call that a "period" instead of a full stop

there are many keyboard replacement options. personally i didn't like on screen keyboards at all until i started using swype. beat one out there i've used
Heh, that's ironic! Saying how good a keyboard is, and the auto-correct gets it wrong!

Rofl.. well played I always hit the fullstop. Its getting on my nerves too lol, not sure why though.. im not used to any other touch screen phones besides HD2 and that has the same keyboard pretty much lol
Who said anything about it being correct? I was giving the OP another term to search, full stop

I looked and looked and looked and could not find anything,
Maybe one day,
But in the hunt i come accross swype (Also noticed someone els post they use it in this thread)
Wow!!! very good very easy looks like i may of overcome my issue lol
The full stop instead of space has been bugging me for ages as well. Just trying out new keyboard from market called swiftkey beta. Seems better so far but no double tap space for a full stop might become a problem instead...
Swype in landscape moves the space bar to the side by the way
Sorry if this has been raised elsewhere, but I couldn't find it anywhere...
I know many don't like HTC's Sense. Personally I like it fine, with the huge exception that I can't use my phone in landscape half the time. I don't suppose it would be possible to enable landscape would there?
I'm running rooted stock 2.2.
Do you mean on the home screen???

yeah the home screen for sure, but since contacts, calendar, music, etc... are all modified by sense then none of them can go landscape either.
This is the number 1 reason why I don't use sense/Rosie. Its utterly ridiculous that sense doesnt do landscape.

The sad part is all the images are there (in the framework) for Rosie to go into landscape, they just don't let it. I've seen a mod done that accomplishes this but it looked terrible and would have taken a lot of work to get all the elements to look right. Maybe they gave up and decided to focus on a more important project.. like Sprint Nascar.. or the Sprint Promotion app..
Rosie has such potential but is such a let-down. If they weren't going to go the extra mile and make Sense own everything else then they shouldn't have wasted their time on such a crippled UI.
Sense for Windows mobile does landscape. Why not the Android version HTC? Thats one of the reasons I use adw

I completely agree. Its like they got to a point that they were happy and just gave up. The fact that landscape wasn't a high prirority is either lazy or dumb or both. This is basic functionality. As soon as I found adw way back when, Rosie has never touched my phone.
Yeah it does seem pretty dumb. Well I wonder if when the G2 comes out with an actual keyboard it'll mean that we finally have a landscape Rosie...

Id hope. You'd think that the Evo would have had it since they promoted the hell out of the kickstand. What good is a kickstand if you have to turn the phone vertically to use its most basic functions? Thank God for ADW.
I would like to request a modified phone.apk so that when there is an incoming call, the AOSP incoming call screen pops up. Dragging the stupid box to answer the phone is lame. It's never really bugged me too much, it's just something I would rather have because of aesthetics.

You have to unlock your screen when a call comes in?

I think he means when someone calls in.. you have to move the box to answer .. or to ignore.. or ignore with message.

Haha, I actually liked the TW phone answer when I first saw it, but that was short lived.
In practice, it's just annoying to use.
i agree i would rather just push a button to answer or ignore
I too would love to have this also... It is the only thing i hate about the Epic compare to my old EVO
I would like this as well...
I love this idea too!!!!!
I believe press a button instead of swyping the screen is more pracitcal because you may miss the phone call.
I wouldn't count on this happening unfortunately unless you use CM. Phone.apk is so deeply ingrained in twframework that it's astonishing, which makes editing just the Phone.apk impossible. This would be cool I agree, but from a development standpoint it's a ridiculous amount of testing, troublshooting and so on and so forth. Props to anyone attempting to pull this off

Thanks for the input. I really appreciate it.
is there any call screens other than the original epic drag up or down screen? thanks in advance.

There are... but none have been ported for use on the Epic. You can use CM7 and it will give you all the options for different lock screens which in turn will change your incoming call screen.
Other than that, I don't know of any that will work for the Epic.
yea im using midnight rom atm. thanks though. hopefully something will come about.
not sure if this is what you meant, but there are a few dialer replacements on the android market.
The ones that come to mind are:
Go Contacts (seems to be popular lately)
TakephONE
Dialer One
EDIT: I just actually read your post.. and sure these don't have any affect on (during) call screen. but, fwiw.
yea not actually what im looking for but those programs are nice. go contacts i think im actually gonna use just cause i like it. thx
I change themes quite often, but only one theme that I've come across for the Samsung Epic that uses AOSP messaging as opposed the the default "Samsung messaging" (I guess you could call it), is Engraved Blues. I've used that theme for the longest, mostly because it has AOSP messaging. It comes with WAY more user functionality than the limited "Samsung Messaging." Is there anyone that could put AOSP Messaging into a flashable zip? That way, I can use whatever theme I chose, and still have AOSP Messaging. I would really appreciate it if this could be done!
I'd even be willing to learn how to do it. I usually don't request, and tinker with things on my own, but I'd need some help with this one. If someone wants to walk me through the process, I'd be even more appreciative, because I wouldn't have to ask for these kinds of things!
I don't know what you mean by AOSP messaging but Impaler's transparent MMS are flashable zips. They both look and run very well. Give one of them a try. Just download and flash in CWM.

AOSP messaging is I guess stock Android messaging. At least that's what someone told me a while back. There are noticeable differences. Probably one of the most important is the fact that with default Sammy messaging, when messages come in while I'm roaming, they are 4 hours in advance. For some reason, this isn't the case with AOSP messaging. It's really weird. There are also options for vibration types, and you're also able to change the font size of the messages. None of these options are present in Sammy messaging, AND, there are no chat balloons; just color backgrounds.
The MOST important reason I prefer AOSP is because for whatever reason, I cannot pinpoint, whenever I run a ROM with Samsung's messaging app, the phone tends to randomly restart. Ever since I've been using Engraved Blues with AOSP messaging, the random restarts are nonexistent. No reboots whatsoever! My phone has been super stable with SRF 1.1.1 and Engraved Blues. I don't know why it causes those reboots, and I don't have my messaging set to keep a lot of messages. Maybe 50 at the most.
Impaler's transparent messaging is based off of Samsung's Android messaging app and while it looks awesomely sweet, I've had the same unfortunate reboots as it seems to be based off of Sammy messaging.
EDIT: Ok, just noticed this in his thread.
These apps are the 2.2 MMS app, only about 50 times better than Samsung could have ever made it...

Maybe I should give it a try again? I know when he first started posting the transparent messaging app series, I could've sworn it was simply themed Samsung messaging?

I haven't really had any problems with what you mentioned. I would say give it a try. I think you will be pretty happy. His messaging app is always the first mod I flash after flashing a new ROM or theme. If it doesn't work for you, sorry.
I have that same problem with Swype where when I'm roaming all my messages read 4 hours ahead of time. Gets really bothersome. I can't live without swype anymore though.
Alright, here you go guys. Download the attached and flash it through clockwork and you'll be good to go.

Silly question but do the swype functions work with this? I'm guessing not.

Yep it works. And the roaming problem goes away.
Does it work on the stock rom?

Funny thing is that before I installed the Engraved Blues theme, I thought that the Samsung messaging app was standard Android. If I hadn't come across the theme, I wouldn't have known a thing about AOSP messaging. And what's with that roaming problem? Man, that's so annoying! How'd Samsung let that one out of the gate with that glaring problem???

That problem happened on my lg fusic and samsung instinct as well. I think it's a sprint problem.

Would it be safe to remove the old apk from system after flashing this? I may or may not be wrong but I seem to remember that caused problems when receiving pictures and the like.
Of course that could've just been on the moment..

The old apk shouldn't be in the system after you flash it.. If it is yes you can delete it.

From what I was told/read it is a Sprint problem with how their devices communicate with the towers used for roaming. So blame Sprint for the problem

AH, zip must only be edify.
All you have to do is go into that zip, take out the mms.apk, and push it to system/app using root explorer.. I've got a video showing how to do that
