this has nothing to do wtih the epic specifically but with touch screens in general
i have a samsung intercept and it fell and the whole screen broke but the phone still works perfectly but i cant touch anything i wanna know if theres any special thing i can use to get the inner screen to respond to touch? i dont wanna fix it cuz i dont really use it but i just wanna see if i can get past the unlock screen lol
Won't sliding it open the keyboard unlock it? I have borked touchscreen files on my moment b4 and I had to use the kb to navigate. It sucked but was possible with the exception of some poorly written apps.

ya i thought that would work but it didnt i rooted it and it has an ics theme and it doesnt unlock when i slide it open but its cool im not worried about it i took a closer look and realized the screen part that popped out is actually connected to the phone and it ripped off so its impossible to get it to work thanks tho

Trying to get the HTC keyboard for my phone cuz let's face it, the android keyboard sucks. I've been following this thread over on the XDA Nexus One thread and have followed it exactly installing both APK's. Each time when i long click and select Touch Input, no keyboard shows up on the screen.
I'm not exactly sure why it won't work since i have installed several other keyboards over the past.
If anyone knows how to get this working, or is experiencing a similar issue please let me know.
Bump
Seriously? Nobody. The android keyboard sucks haha and my swype expired.
lol dude, not clue why it doesnt work, i tried downloading the v20 apk from the N1 forums, it installs but when you switch input methods it doesnt show up so stuck in same boat

working keyboard for android tilt 2
first you have to go to the xdandroid startup icon and make sure the model is on tilt 2 mode, then boot. just like using the regular keyboard. able to use fn key to enter numbers not like when they are all at the top.

CM nightly 175, ive tried a few things but none of them have worked except the multi touch from the droid 2 but the text is mega small
I'd be interested as well. Same thing here... The only one that works is D2 port, with TINY text on regular-sized keys.
I don't think so but, is it possible to port over this answer/ignore screen from Sense?? My girl is getting annoyed by the slides now. She seems to be liking iphone now.. which it is better an app deparment. Way better than android market IMO..

Not possible for an AOSP ROM (which I presume you're using).
That answer screen is part of the Sense framework. To port that over would mean to port over the entire framework, which isn't possible.
Thank you, no kind of alternative huh?? She really likes that "iphone" stuff.. but unfortunatelty.. she's stuck now with the TMOUS leak , unrooted.. until there's a downgrade.., everything else is perfect, except she's tired of the slides.. which is dumb IMO same process right?

I don't believe there is an alternative, though I could be wrong. The AOSP answer screen is part of Phone.apk and I don't believe there has been an alternative to that.
You can use alternate dialers like DialerOne (http://www.appbrain.com/app/dialer-one/kz.mek.DialerOne) which changes the dialing screen, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't change the answer screen.
Sliding or pressing to answer calls doesn't matter to me, sliding just requires a tiny bit more finger effort, lol. Tell her it's good for her finger muscles lol.
I did notice that if the phone is "awake" and someone calls, you get the "push to answer" option instead of the slider. And when it's locked, you get the "slide to answer" option. Makes sense because they want to make it harder for you to answer a call on accident when the phone is locked and in your pocket. So if someone modified Phone.apk to always present you with the "push to answer" screen, then your problem would be solved.
If you're familiar with ADB, have you tried the downgrading thread over at the development section? Supposedly you can downgrade and root any G2 with it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1055581
Then you could just load up an MIUI or Sense ROM onto her phone and she'd be happy

Yeah, I've rooted her phone and all.. put sense, miui, and cm roms on it but they always have problems.. so I unrooted but then put the PC10IMG of gingerbread on it and since there's no downgrade available right, she's stuck at slides now

Lol that sucks. I love Sense and MIUI ROMs but they're a little too slow for me. I've had the most success with the InsertCoin ROM. Pretty smooth, not as smooth as CM7 though... Of course that's just my opinion.
Quick question. Didnt see this mentioned anywhere sorry if it was. Any way to be able to use the camera during a call? I dont see why it would be disabled but i needed to but couldnt today. Not a big deal just wondering!

Sweet, thanks! Have you tried it? Or has anyone else tried it on the ET4G? I guess I can be the guinea pig, haha.
Haven't tried it. This is my second epic touch and I have yet to root this one.

i wish this were true. alas using the camera while on a call is not a feature of potatoman's modified camera.apk.
sadly, it's not even in his "possible features [he's] looking at implementing" list.
hope someone can make this mod soon. it's the only camera mod (other than focus sound disabling) that i'm concerned about.
I just tested and it works fine with the Camera Fun app that was free on Amazon a while ago. It's not the stock camera, but it'll work. Right?

Coming from an EVO 4G, this is a feature I miss badly, being able to take a quick picture while on a call. I remember the original Epic couldn't do it either and it was one of the reasons I went back to the EVO. I'm not planning on leaving the SGSIIE4GT though
Been having trouble with this as well. Will go and experiment with those and come back!
anything new on this ?
What's the issue here? Taking a picture while on a call, or are we talking about video calls?
I believe it is a touch wiz issue. I have the Samsung Epic with Cyanogenmod you can take a picture which making a phone call because it does not have touch wiz but with every touch wiz Rom you can't. You can wait for Cyanogenmod to support your phone. But you will be waiting a long time.

Yeah the issue is when you are on a voice call if you try to take a pic you are not allowed to even load the camera app at all. Even if you hit the Home button and goto the main screen (with call in background) there is no way of doing it. It's kinda annoying at times when you have to tell someone "Hey let me call you right back I need to take a pic of something and send it to you"
I've had to do that far to often then I'd like to lol.
so this phone has been around for a while... I never did root it but since I have a note 3 I would like to turn my epic 4g into a music/game player....
I have never rooted an android device. what is the latest instructions idiot proofed? i want to be able to uninstall bloatware and turn into a gps speedometer for my mud truck. maybe play games or movies... so essentially an ipod...hahahha
i posted this because I have been googling and searching here and coming up with instructions with dead links... can anyone help me?

I assume if you googled it, you would at least know how to root. As far as dead links well that's a different story...which links were you referring to?

Our epic is the d700. Yours is the d710. Check out there foruma for root. And don't use our files, you'll brick your device.

I am currently running the Note 3 and have been rooting and flashing since the S2 epic 4g touch. I just dusted off my old epic 4g and rooted it with the fc09 stock rooted rom, and activated sprint for my brother. I didn't have any issues until after flashing. When I go into recovery now, nothing will mount, so I am unable to perform any actions in cwm. The stock rooted rom runs fine. I haven't ever had this happen before. Does anyone know of a solution? I even installed a 16 GB SD card that I had from my S2, and still get the errors in cwm.
