I have been using my EVO for a few months now and have run into some problems. I am coming from the world of windows mobile so this is all fairly new to me, please be kind.
Questions...
1. I downloaded the official updated rom from Sprint, but it looks like it has an OLDER version of Swype than the beta version I was using. Since it's included in the rom I can't figure out how to uninstall it. It's almost unusable! Help! What do I do to fix this?
2. There are lots of program "killer' apps out there, which one is the best? Also, is there a list of awesome apps I should just have?
3. I want to "bake" the Facebook image and contact info into my google contacts, how do I do this?!
Thanks in advance.
no one? :/ need some help here.
1. Just download the Swype beta from Swype's website.
2. Don't use task killers, android 2.2
3. It's under facebook's settings, sync all contacts.

I had swype's beta installed and when I did the OTA update it made me uninstall it.
I want to make the information from the Facebook app transfer over to my google contacts permanently.... I don't see a setting for that?
Thanks
I tried some AOSP JB ROMs and none syncs with my google account: none restores my Wi-Fi passwords and my settings and in the menu Settings-backup and restore-account of backup (I hope this is the right translation, my phone is in Italian) there isn't my google accounto, but "Backing up to debug-only private cache.
Why does this thing appen? With my old nexus s it wasn't like this!
Can I do something in order to make AOSP ROMs work like the OTA?
Also the Gallery doesn't sync with Picasa, but I solved this problem puting the gallery of the OTA in system/app.
I hope someone can help me!
Thanks to everyone!

Depending on the ROM you may have to flash a GAPPs package
I always flash gapps when nedded..
Am I the only one with these problems?
Hmm..
Gapps package you're using is not working?
Does this happen with yakju/takju official images?
Sent from my i9250
other gapps work fine, but my phone doesn't sync settings and Wi-Fi history, I always use the package provided by the developer....
according to the galley, i found out that the AOSP gallery (gallery4.apk o something like that) doesn't sync with picasa, but I don't know what about settings.
gmail, the play store, current.......every gapp works fine apart from settings sync.
The official image and the OTA are OK, they work good.
Hello everone
Till now experienced Google assistant, Navigation bar, Pixel launcher Now its Pixel Dialer
Turn your device into pixel, Here is a tweak you can change dialer just like pixel devices having at present. You can do it by yourself just easy.
* you dont need to flash any zip files from twrp or there is no display problem in the device.
Rules how to activate Dialer :
1) Initially disable the phone and contacts apps that runs in your device
2) Now install Phone dialer app from Playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.dialer&hl=en
and Contacts app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.contacts&hl=en
3) Now Set it as default if you are in CM14.x ver or Android 7.x or else remaining versions once you disable the latest app will be set as default
Its directly released to store from google to experience new Ui
Thanks everyone .
Post your likes if you love it

Since every aosp Rom (last was Pixel Experience) gets laggy after some time, I decided to go to miui again, since I never had lag problems with miui.
My GF's RN4 was faster than my RN5 running PE 9.0 so I said it's time for a change.
On miui I only hated the notification lag (or no notification at all) and the, for example reply in statusbar not working like in aosp.
So, since they changed it in miui 10.3 (maybe even before?), I was quite happy with almost everything.
What I am missing is the "swipe up" to Google search, or swipe right from home screen to Google search.
I managed to deactivate the App-Vault (swipe right from home) but I dont know, how to set Google search instead of that miui search at "swipe up from home screen".
Is there a chance to do it?
Or set Google search to "swipe right from home screen"?
I haven't found an option to change the swipe gestures.
I still miss some other stuff from aosp Roms, since they are all "Google based" but miui is miui and I guess you can't have everything.
I'm on Xiaomi.eu 10.3 MIUI, Magisk installed.
Thanks!
EDIT:
With Google search I meant the Google assistant / Google Now too. I mean, it's standard feature with aosp Roms so I guess you know what I mean.. The Google search with some news underneath the search bar.
Goggle feed is impossible to put in miui launcher
Somebody has manged to put in poco launcher but without solution

Aargh, too bad.
And is there a chance to disable that search or set anything else at that place?
That "feature" is just not necessary for me.
Actually you can enable swipe up to google search back. You just need to clear default of the mi browser in setting > installed apps > browser > clear default. You may notice that the browser doesn't have any default. Just tap on it and the swipe up gesture will open google search again.
How i notice this? Cause everytime there is mi browser update. The swipe up gesture revert back to that xiaomi browser.

Sadly not working for me.. Maybe you don't use the same version?
Also, another question.
If I flash global beta, am I going to get Google search?
If so, what are the benefits (if any) of global beta Rom if you compare it to Xiaomi.eu?
I think, Xiaomi.eu Roms are bit more optimized and debloated or?

Global beta is more stable than the stable channel (which i use currently - build 10.0.6). While there isn't any big difference between xiaomi.eu and global beta since they use the same build except for ads (which can be disable by unistalling msa apps with adb debloater). And yes, you get all google apps in global beta
Btw, can you clear default for google apps and google chrome to see if it working?

Nope, still not working.
Well I guess I have to live with it. It's not that big problem, since I can start the Google feed with the widget.
It would be good though, if you could disable the miui-search but if you have no idea how to do it, then it's alright..
thanks though!
Hey, I had the same problem and solved it! (sorry for digging up an 8 months old thread)
Get xiaomi debloater and uninstall Browser and Search (com.android.search), and voilá. At least it did work for me, on Mi 9, Xiaomi.EU rom.

actually You can enable swipe up google search if you r a root user..
you have to follow some step
step 1: reinstall the rom
step 2: root
step 3: immediately install lucky patcher
step 4: uninstall the system app browser
done!!
google swip up gesture will enable for forever until you reflash the rom.
if you follow step 3 and 4 now without reflash rom the swipe up gesture will show app not installed..
I done this before I am using swipe up google...

You can do it without root, usb debugging adb allows you to uninstall system app without root, and please do not mention L* P* here, it's against the rule to mention that app on xda.

I just wanted to let other users know that this still works on MIUI 12 ! (Mi 9 Lite)
Thanks for the hint! I tried to uninstall Mi Browser via ADB (as I did before), but that didn't work this time. Your post saved my day!
I have a strange problem for my TA-1054 on Pie (updated OTA, locked). While I can add google account after installing playstore.... I cannot make contacts sync. In addition if I want to add a new contact I do not have the option to add the contact to google account. Only locally on the device. Anyone else having similar issues. Any solution?

Ok I found a solution if anyone interested... I think this has to do with pie .. I have installed Google Contacts sync apk (found from apkmirror) and everything works ..
My only issue now is weather widget... Used to work in 8.1 with Pie ”cannot.find the city”
