Epic 2.2 and touchwiz...

Hey all just had a quick question about the latest update. I used to have an epic awhile back when they was on 2.1 and noticed that we had a very dumbed down version of touchwiz.
So my question is with the latest os did they update the epic touchwiz to full like the vibrant and etc...
Reason I ask is I just bought an epic because I use my phone for gaming a lot and my evo is lag city on most new games with it's current gpu...
Thanks everybody in advance!

There was not a lot of changes in Touchwiz with the Froyo 2.2 upgrade other than the ability to order applications anyway you want on the Apllications pages. Plus adding a sort function and swapping out of docked applications.

And the ui changed. Ued to be light blue popups, now they are that nice dark blue. Some notification icons changed. All the icons for stock apps(messaging, email, etc) now have the correct touchwiz equivelant, instead of the android default. We got the touchwiz music player now, with notification controls. Unfortunately, the lockscreen did not change at all. The touchwiz home app now has pinch-to-zoom previews, and can have 1-7 screens. We also have the touchwiz messaging app, with blue and yellow chat bubbles. I think that covers everything.
Will edit if i remember anything.

Can you check if the updater still works. The last time i tried now it replaced some files needed and i could not get the updater to work. I would like to try it again but don't want to mess anything up. Thanks.

Anyone successfully reverted back to the standard quick search? I'm running cm9 a6. I've reflashed the rom, cleared quick search app data and cache. Yet I still have Google now.
Any other suggestion not involving a full wipe and reflash is appreciated. Thanks.

Was thinking of flashing this. Just out of curiosity, what's making you go back to stock?
Edit: Also, if you're on an AOSP ROM, I imagine you could just reflash the latest GApps to return to normal.

Stock seemed to be smoother in operation and quicker with populating results. I don't need the extras that goggle now comes with, I just want an aggregated search that Apple is looking to ban.
Thanks for the tip to reflash gapps. I completely forgot about that and will try it next.
Edit: Pushing googlequicksearchbox.apk to /system/app did the trick. I'm sure flashing gapps again would of done the same. Thanks again for the reminder.

Pac in black

First off...Let me say that this is a sweet rom, Love the inverted apps & getting good battery life running Jb for a change., & everything works great,most importantly the sound. But what is the deal really with the "tiny font" on Sys settings?? I had to change the display to Huge & is still kindly small?? Was this in order to fit all the numerous options & scripts in??
(just curious)..

What font are you using?
Try verdana or Helvetica S, this may make it easier to see.

On this one...How do you even change the font, ive always used roboto, or something related to that size all other times, say on Kuban, which there is an abundance of opps, but all i get in settings is size??

Go to settings, display, font style.
I use verdana, its an ample font..
I have an apk if your interested.

Aosp doesn't handle fonts the same way as touchwiz. You have to install the font as a .ttf into the /system/font folder overwriting the original then change permissions to rw-r-r then reboot

Home button issue in PIB, and PA issue in nightlies
I just recently had a warranty issue with my phone, and got a "certified replacement". I went to re-install the most recent version of PAC in black, and had issues with the hardware home button doing nothing. The button would cause the phone to vibrate, but nothing would happen beyond that. Holding the button, which would normally bring up the recent apps menu wouldn't work either. If anyone has any idea if this may be a setting within the ROM that I could easily change, or if it is actually something worse, it'd be helpful to know.
But as I can't work with a phone that does not have a working home button, I decided to try the nightly build, and am also having an issue there. It seems that the Paranoid Preferences menu has an issue where the pop-up window in the per-app settings seems to assume my screen is bigger than it is, and over-sizes the window, so about the last fifth to the right is not on-screen, which means the accept button is not accessible. I'm not sure if this is an issue with the ROM itself, if it is an issue coming directly from the Paranoid Settings apk, or something that is unique to my phone, but I figured that I'd put it out here to see if anyone had ideas.
Any advice on either issue would be appreciated. I did not see any other threads for PAC-man, PAC in black, or the nightly builds, so I figured this would be the best place for both questions, as they are the same ROM, short the change in color scheme. Thanks.

No, but I would use the slim gapps because you can toggle the light/dark theme with this dark stalk button

[Q] Jelly Bean GB27 and ICS Swype

After upgrading from stock FL24 to stock GB27, and doing a full wipe, the Epic 4G Touch seems to have settled down, and is turning in solid, reliable performance. Sure, the battery usage seems to be slightly higher, but the performance gains seem to outweigh this very modest hit.
However, one thing in the new build is getting under my skin: I hate the new Swype. I hate the beta Swype. Is there any way to get the version of Swype that was on the ICS builds of this phone? In particular, long-press delete no longer deletes whole words, and adding words to dictionary is a total crapshoot.
Anybody know if the old Swype apk is compatible with Jelly Bean? Should I bother trying to isolate and repack, from an old ROM? I'd like to stay in unrooted stock, if possible (for superstitious stability reasons).
Cheers,
gobaers

You should test drive Touch Pal from play store, I was using this before jelly bean on gingerbread.
I still use it but I'm taking a liking to the the Samsung keyboard that comes with jelly bean.
The pridect text on Touch Pal is spot on and quick with a good variety of words to follow up.

I'll take a look, but I've found that none of the Swype-like keyboards out there are as accurate as Swype itself, including the new Jelly Bean keyboard and Swiftkey.
I suspect that the stock Samsung keyboard is just Swype dressed up; it's too bad I don't like that dressing.
Anybody know about the ICS Swype? If not, I'll just download the FL24 stock ROM and start messing with APKs.

I was using swype until I came across Touch Pal, that's when I converted over to TP.

Latest Swype that came with the last update. Sorry, not from the Swype website. I'm currently using version 1.3.8.10895, which is included in the new source updates. If you don't have it, and want it simply download one of the new source builds and pull the apk . Works like a dream!

That would be nice (long press delete) on the Samsung keyboard. I like that its light on the os, wifey likes it better than TP.

Just wanted to post an update:
The latest version of Swype, 1.5, available from the Play Store for $1 has fixed the delete button and add word to dictionary behaviors. Long press delete now deletes whole word.
Well worth the $1, IMO.

[Q] Can anyone recommend a solid, stock, rooted ROM?

I'm looking for a solid, stock rooted ROM that is the most up to date as possible. I've been using CM10.1 for quite awhile now, and it's just a little too buggy for my liking.
Thanks in advance.

GB27 is really good and stable. Flash tdunham's AIO mod on top and it gets even better.

Does GB27 have pop-up text notifications w/o the need for a 3rd party app? One thing that I'd miss if it's not there.
