Hi all-
I am having two issues that perhaps the community could offer help with-
First, I am running Myn's 5.3 with Riptide9's ported v13 theme. I love the combination of the two and the wireless systems work well.
I have noticed 2 theming issues;
1. I cannot seem to change the keyboard. I've tried flashing the various gingerbreads and they do not take. I've tried doing the long press in the dialogue boxes but the option to change keyboards does not pop up.
2. I have had trouble flashing clock widgets; oddly enough the two flame/glass clocks from Stone work fine. However, these were downloaded well before using Myn's. I've used a variety with IncRom with no problem but trying to flash others does not work.
3. I am wondering if this is an issue inherent to the theme rather than the Rom. I did a test run last night where I flashed a clean, unthemed version of Myn's and was able to swap out keyboards and clocks with no problems.
Are there any suggestions out there? I can live with the clock but would prefer to change the keyboard. Thank you in advance.

I'm unfamiliar with the theme, but if it's something you can just flash over Myn's 5.3, you could try doing the unthemed install, flash the clocks and keyboard, then flash the theme. That's weird that the theme is preventing use of alternate keyboards, I don't think I've ever heard of that happening before
I'll give that method a try. Seems that every user has a unique experience trying to "perfect" a nearly perfect phone. Thank god its not an iPhone or we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Hi all im a noob at the whole flashing roms thing.
i have flashed leedroids newest rom 3.0.3 which as i understand is based on the leaked gingerbread.
i thought i read somewhere that gingerbread was supposed to get a revamped keyboard but leedroid still has the same keyboard as froyo.
so my question is
are there any roms out there that has the new revamped keyboard?

as seen in the above link
Sorry, not exactly what you're looking for but I like LeeDroid ROM so in an effort to get you to keep it....
You can download it from the market. It's called something like "Keyboard from Gingerbread"
thanks i like leedroid but as i said i am just new to this so am going to try other roms 1st before settling on one. i was just wondering if anyone knew of one that had gingerbread keyboard
If you are not fussed about sense try an AOSP ROM like CM7 Cyanogen.
The sense ROMs use the HTC keyboards.

sorry should have mentioned yea i like sense.
ive just tried a rom that was supposed to have sense 3.0 in but was a bit laggy so back on leedroid atm
It is a great ROM. But like I said, you could always download the Gingerbread Keyboard app. Not perfect but is one solution.
I always treat Sense ROM's as something you have to make sacrifices with (as a fan of non-sense ROMs) and that's why CM7 runs on my phone a LOT more often than LD's.
i tryed gingerbread keyboard but like swypekey which i previously used it has no navigation keys. i have settled on leedroid and am playing with different themes now.
i have also purchased thumb keyboard because it was the only keyboard with navigation keys that i could find.
thank you for your help

That thumb keyboard does look good.
Swift has arrow keys but they are in a sub section (pressing "alt").
Good luck with it all, sorry couldn't have been better news.
I didn't see them but I only tried the 1 month trial. I like this keyboard as it has the navigation keys and i like the number pad in landscape mode
So, I went from SR3.5 which I LOVED to the new SR4.0, which I love because of the Sense UI 2.0 and the new customizable rotary lock screen... BUT I've had nothing but battery life issues since...even using chads kernel, or set cpu, and even auto task killers. I notice almost all my apps constantly run all the time, even after force stopping them, they start right back up 5 mins later.
So, I'm taking the axe to SR4.0 until it's fixed...which leaves me with the option of going back to SR3.5 with my recovery...but I've seen all it has to offer.
Even though I love Sense UI, I CONSTANTLY hear great things about CM....which leaves me with a couple questions, since I never used it before...and I know it's not a sense ROM.
Which is more stable and feature rich, CM6 or CM7?
If I go from CM7.0.0 to 7.0.1, 7.0.2, etc...will I have to do a full wipe and start over again, or can I just upgrade it?
Other than Sense UI, and CM7 being GB, what's the major differences between CM and SR?
Is there a way to have the same customizable rotary lock screen like on SR4.0 with CM6 or CM7?
Does CM6 or 7 have the stock keyboard? or is there a way of using the stock one on the rom?
If anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it.
First, you don't want to use a task killer as that could be the cause of poor battery life. SR doesn't really have any bloat apps so I don't know what you would need to kill.
I haven't used CM6 but I see no reason not to go to anything but the more current CM7.
I'm not sure on the wipe question but I want to say no, just cache and dalvik.
As for the lockscreen, yes, SR borrowed that feature from CM7. Even more lockscreen options like lockscreen gestures, etc.
I'm not sure what you mean by stock keyboard, I assume you mean stock HTC keyboard? If so, then no there's no way to use it but IMO the gingerbread keyboard is better..

Thank you for the info! Another thing I'm wondering...I have the stock froyo radio...I couldn't find the info on the CM7 section really, but do I need to change to a newer GB radio to use CM7?

No need to change from the stock radio
Hi all, I recently started using the AOKP Rom and I am very pleased with it. The only major feature it lacks is a greek keyboard. I installed the Multiling one, but I prefer the stock Sony one, it is really better, faster and with better word prediction.
Is there a way to have it in my AOKP set-up (ROM+Kernel)?
Either by installing an .apk, or via a flashable .zip?
Thank you very much
I flashed the "MIUI 2.10.12 Jelly Bean v2.7" to my HT Desire (bravo), but I read it might not work right on older phones, due to memory/speed limitations (Desire is 1ghz processor, 576mb RAM). Given how buggy it has been, force closing on GO keyboard, Google Search/Voice, rebooting, etc., I'm starting to believe it, or any Jellybean ROM, might have greater requirements than the original Desire can provide. So which MIUI release would be best for the Desire, and in particular, allow me to solve the persistent problem of running out of internal memory? I'm very confused about all the flavours of MIUI! "MIUI Fresh for Fridays"? "MIUI XJ X-PART" ?? (If so, which MIUI XJ X-Part: Data2Whatever, D2Ext, A2SD??). Or will a Froyo ROM run better than a Gingerbread ROM on the Desire?

<Kudos for not making a one huge, incomprehensible block of text out of your post...>
If you have a quick SD card, go for MIUI XJ X-Part (the fastest of the lot).
It works, very, very well. Gets about twice as much Quadrant points as CM7, battery lasts on me couple of days, and the rom has almost everything included (like call recording, sms/call screening to name just a few).
Plus, it looks gorgeous and is not longer being updated, which means you don't have to worry of installing new versions.
I used to use CM7 for nearly two years, but this is just better in almost every respect.
The only annoying thing about GB-based MIUI is that you cannot have just pattern screenlock. It can be none, swipe, or swipe+pattern.

Are you strongly wedded to MIUI? I'm using Yasir's AOKP port (ICS) and it's fantastic. Much better than Sandvold's ROM that I was previously using (bad BSOD problems).

Not wedded at all. I'm constantly look for the bet thing for my phone. But until there is a mature port of JB with Google Now, I don't really see any reason to leave MIUI XJ.

Ok, what if I don't have a quick SD card? (I have a class 2). What's the MIUI rom recommendation for that? I want stability, good to unbelievably good battery life, speed and... a free vacation in the Bahamas. Which MIUI ROM for the Desire best fits that description?

Download MIUI from official site for desire.
If U have fast, stable ROM. Don't use ICS/JB Rom, close to full stability, but some things do not work properly and often exist a lot of problems with apps.
Why MIUI ?
From my side, I recommend MildWild based on Oxygen.
One step ahea o' ya, bro. I downloaded the stock MIUI yesterday, and have been playing with it all day. I've avoided it up until now, because I read it was laggy, bad battery life, bloated, etc. So far, it's the best I've tried! Almost everything I touch on the phone responds instantly. I can actually get things done quicker. I have 247mb free on my internal data storage space (out of 288mb). Best I've seen on any ROM!
And yes, I used to have MildWild. And it was great and fast and all, but I missed MIUI. Why? MIUI has style. I can theme every part of it, and make the phone look just how I want. Yes, you can do that with shells to a certain extent (in fact, I don't use the stock MIUI launcher). But MIUI also comes with great features and really excellent built-in apps. I went out looking for replacements for all those apps, and I did not like the replacements as much. And one of main things I liked in MIUI I could not find elsewhere, is the toggles in the notification menu. I like that they can be arranged clearly in a page form, and not just a row of hard-to-decipher symbols that you scroll through.
They may be little things, but there are a whole lot of them in MIUI. Also, I like that it's based on iOS. Because it made it easier to transform my Android into an iPhone 4S. (Starting with... iOS splash screen, boot screen, ADW launcher w/ iPhone theme and enlarged icons, iOS system sounds, iOS wall, iOS lock screen (MIUI theme), iOS system setting/notification screens (MIUI theme), iOS-cloned SMS/Email (Innomail) /Calculator/Notes app, iOS-like system font (MIUI font "Black Ice"), iOS keyboard, iOS Siri-clone (AIVC), iOS-inspired Helvetica clock/weather widget (BeWeather), etc. etc!
