P.s: Does the Cyanogen rom still have the balck themed swype, or swype at all? Thank you for yalls time and answers.

Swype isn't free anymore. The black themed one was on stock. I've been theming the latest Swype but pushing it off until after my FE exam.
I haven't encountered any problems at all with this one.

I have googled "swype.sdk" enough times to tell you that there's no easy way to get it without getting a trial version that eventually expires. They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result, but I'm waiting for that glorious day when Swype releases an apk on the market for everyone.
As for the issues with CM 6.1, I've been running it for about a week. The only issue I've heard about is that some people experience lower than average call volume or lower than average volume on Skype.
The only issue I've had is the Market and set-up is a little buggy/laggy if you're on Wi-fi only (as in, no cell phone service). Otherwise, it seems to be a very solid and fast Rom, and I highly recommend it.

You might try swype.apk not sdk. I don't think swype has a software development kit (sdk) because it's an app not an os or operating platform. Just google swype.apk and you'll find it.
Just a bit of a warning - Do Not Post It On XDA. The reason it's not included in Cyanogenmod ROMs is the same reason you can't post the swype.apk on XDA.

Gah, I meant .apk. It was like 8 or 9am when I posted that and my brain doesn't work at that time in the morning. When the market was messing up on my wi-fi connection, I was getting apks online for stuff like Facebook and ChompSMS, so I should've known better than to put sdk.
I know you can't post it on any forums because it's a licensed product and posting links to it (or just posting it as an attachment) is considered piracy or something similar. That's probably why it's so hard to find a non-trial version. Most of the results you get from googling "swype.apk" are links to forums that used to have links to where you could download it, but the links have been removed on all of the forums (they should've just erased the threads so they'd stop showing up on Google altogether).
Personally, I'm just going to suck it up and get a trial. Better to have it for a month then not at all.

I tried, but it's not showing up that I've sent any message. You can e-mail it to me straight through the "email user" thing, I know mine is up to date with the e-mail I'm using.
As for if you're allowed to post what you posted, well I mean Swype only deals with OEMs and our phone came with it. So, in reality, you're only helping me re-install a program my phone originally came with and accidentally got "lost" somewhere ...it's totally justified.
Also, another issue I've found with CM's 6.1 is that for no reason at all my screen randomly dims. It happens maybe once or twice a day on average (some days it doesn't happen, sometimes it happens a few times). No biggie, settings>display>brightness clears that up no problem.

Yeah I have that issue too, usually when the screen is about to time out and go black. If I touch it, the screen doesn't get brighter. I just have the power widget set up so I just have to tap the brightness to do the same thing.

Or, you guys can go on 4shared, search swype hvga, download, and install.

Comics apps

I have a problem with both the Comics and DC Comics apps from Comicxology. They FC pretty much immediately after starting.
Has anyone else gotten them to work on their tabs, or is it incompatible with the A100?!?

I just tried out the Comics app from Comicxology. I navigated through a lot of the options so see if it would force close on me. No problem what so ever.
It seems you are having quite a few issues with games/apps. Did you accidentally remove something you weren't supposed to? If not, have you tried doing a factory reset?

Yeah, I've actually thought about doing a wipe. The A100 doesn't seem nearly as stable or fast as it originally was.
The odd thing however, is that I contacted the dev behind the Comic app, and got this reply:
"No ETA quite yet, but we have some cool things planned!
comiXology Support"
I asked whether their app is compatible with the A100/7 inch tabs and whether they'll be supported in an upcoming edition.
Needless to say, I'm kinda confused now that you're saying that it works fine

That is weird, I just downloaded the DC Comic app to check it too. Both of them worked for me just fine.

If you open settings, yes. Just close the tab.

Right after installing and testing the new Flash App I had the first crash and reboot of my Nexus. So still a bit buggy...

mine's working fine. I use flash for very few sites, but at least it works so far.

How can it be disabled after install?
Thanks

i think ill pass.. my phone has been working great without it thus far.. lol

Unistalled it anyway. The minute I added it to the phone it started to hiccup. F#$#ing Flash.

yesss! i love it! I just came from froyo and i was really upset that the latest and greatest android phone didn't support flash! I called up samsung twice to vent about how pissed i was that the principal selling point of android phones over apple's phones is lacking on google's flagship model.
It also give me a great argument at Bell's loyalty department to get my self a KILLER plan
But now its here! and i am ever so happy!

I agree what a disappointment. Sure it works but it completely ruined the browsers buttery smooth scrolling.

Just install it and set plugins to 'on demand'. That way it won't ruin the performance, but you have the opportunity to start flash if you want to.

don't miss it. So won't bother installing it until I need it for something.

It doesn't hurt to have it especially if you set it to on demand. Surprised at how many people are unaware of this option.

Same here. I'm not playing any flash games and YouTube is working very nicely via the app.
No flash ad banners either. Yay.

Extreme lag on rooted s3

Hey everyone! For the past long while, my galaxy has randomly been having huge lag spikes. Symptoms would be apps crashing, keyboard taking forever to respond, general extreme lag. And the battery would heat up way too much. I did a bunch of looking into the cpu processes, and at the top of the list would be some kworker application or the google search bar on the google now launcher. I have no idea how to fix the issue, and have tried multiple different roms but the problem still exists.
I am currently running a nightly version of carbon. I do have xposed installed if that changes anything. My phone is only 2 years old, and was running smoothly until now. Im worried it could be a hardware issue.
I could really use some help as i use this phone for notes and work in my courses, and any downtime is really bad for me. Ill provide any information necessary. Thank you so much for anyone who can help.

Well I'd say software for the simple fact it is a nightly version of a ROM. I'd suggest waiting for a stable build or getting a more stable overall ROM. I doubt it would be hardware issue, could be just some error in the code of that particular nightly.
Best of luck

Please can you install BetterBatteryStats app and post me a text log ? There's a thread to the app here on XDA. That will tell you how to get a log.
Do please freeze Google Now and replace your launcher. Also turn off Location Service for now.

[Q] Recent Apps lag

Is anyone else annoyed at the 2-3 second delay in showing recent apps that I experience from time to time. As a matter of fact it never opens very fast, at least 1-2 seconds. If so is there a fix our should I hope that when lollipop comes to the note 4 it will fix it.

There is a noticeable delay with mine as well.

Moved to Q&A.

This has happened to me but in every aspect of the phone. Rooted, no xposed, and only non-essential bloatware/update services uninstalled.
It is only for 1/2 a second or so, but the phone glitches like it is thinking hard then will complete the action. I even unrooted and reflashed my stock rom backup and still have it.
Probably going to return it today or tomorrow as my 14 day grace period ends. Pretty sad. I've tried just about everything to get it to stop and thought my stock rom would solve the problem, alas, no.

Still stock and not rooted (yet) and have the same annoying lag. Everything else is quick though.

It's the only issue i have with the phone, everything else has been great. I'm sure this will be addressed in a future update unless it's that way for a reason.

Same here. Hope they do something about it.

I've noticed mine is doing the same.. Is there a Task Manager app available that will allow you to see apps running in real time similar to that which comes with Windoze operating systems? In my opinion, this would help me see what is actually lagging when it does lag.

I found this from another thread here at XDA.. Am going to give it a shot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56320983&postcount=2

The link above is actually the fix for Xposed framework causing lag. Might help. Another help is turning off the animation which adds 1.5 seconds. Goto Settings/About phone/tap the build# several times until it declares you have developer options. Open developer options from the settings menu and find the animations and set to 0. Now the delay is down to one second even with Xposed framework. Solved.
One more thing, the build.prop may also need to be modified if running rooted stock. It took some googling and fixing but I finally got ADB working with the Starkissed kernel, ADB insecure and build.prop mods.

I don't have exposed installed and I have the lag as well. Watched and applied the fixes on this video and my Note 4 is way quicker! Totally amped!

Strange, have you always had the same lag or has it gotten worse? After those few changes mine is very responsive. I'm also not using TouchWiz, I'm using Nova Launcher. Wonder if that makes a difference.
Are you rooted? I've heard some strange things about lag after rooting which does not make me happy. This is probably the longest I've gone without rooting and I'm getting the itch

Most likely from people doing things and using files intended for different models and wondering why crap doesnt work right amd coming back to the sprint forums with odd problems...... Scratch that itch, root and follow the steps mentioned on Numerous posts for getting rid of the lag.

Thumbs up Starbuck!
this phone out of the box does not lag . Rooting has nothing to do with it. IT'S what you have done either before or after rooting. Check yourselves gentleman it's something you have done..

The lag is better but not as smooth as my Note 3 on cm11.

I am the first to admit personal fault, and I'd like to admit fault as to something I've done, but I have Odin flashed the stock rom and recovery back on the phone, and the issue is still apparent. Maybe the phone is not properly wiping data on a factory reset(also wiped everything in TWRP before using Odin to wipe the phone) causing a file to stick around regardless of Odin, but it is troubling and annoying to say the least.
Since I'm out of the 14 day period, here is hoping we get a developer to build a unified AOSP ROM in the near future.
