its out, now to figure out how to get it?
Here's how to get it
http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2009/12/30/how-to-get-swype-on-android/
But looks like it onbly works on WVGA screens, which rules out (i think) my HTC Magic :-(
If any devs here can get it working on HTC Magic, Hero , etc PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
yep, it only works on the droid unfortunately. I want it to get ported over to our phones. I think it's a really unique typing interface and to be able to do 50 words a minute as it claims would be awesome.

At the bottom of the article that was first posted, it says it would be a great app for the HTC Magic. Maybe it does work?

you have to modify it to get it to work. I tried it yesterday when i first heard it came out. It installs, but the keyboard does not come up and it displays an error message saying that the screen resolution is too small for it.
Shouldn't be too hard to do then, right? I mean, now there's Android devices with different size screens, App developers have to program for that sort of stuff. Couldn't they just modify the code in this one? Or is that not allowed seeing as though it's not open source?

I guess we shall see, right? Someone will probably still do it even though it's not open source. The only one that actually follows the rules is Cyanogen; you don't see anyone else who cares about the cease and desist cuz it wasn't given to them.
Let's keep our fingers crossed that it'll happen soon!

I am sorry if this has been answered but i am unable to find out any info about a dev porting over the mytouch slide rom to Nexus One. I hope that i am not the only one that would like this port.
Thanks for any info and sorry if i piss off anyone because its not my intention i just was unable to find any info,
Eclair~ said:
Hmm, 3.5 screen.. 3.7 on the Nexus. Along with 2.1 on both devices. It could be ported, but what exactly is the screen resolution of the MyTouch Slide? If its ported but isn't 800x480 (WVGA, HDPI) (or whatever the Nexus 'supposedly' is) or somewhere close, we could be faced with weird size images and graphical issues. And of course with the fact that no one seems to know how to map the keys on the Nexus. Does Paul? Did the Desire ROM not need key mapping?
I don't know what I'm talking about anyways, but it sounds half right using common sense..

Thread killer! He's right though. I believe king was working on it at some point but the mapping is a pain. I wouldn't expect to see this anytime soon.
It's times like these i miss Eugene373. =( What ever happened to him?
Ya i miss all the older devs they had lots of drama but things got done. Thanks for the replies i guess its a lost cause. I for one do not like the look of the desire rom but find the slide rom appealing maybe what will happen is a launcher port from the slide rom to the desire rom then i would be happy.

That has already happened, just no one has released it publicly. I wish the current Sense had "themes" like Espresso, where we can change highlight colors, the general look and feel of things..

I think those look nice. if i remember correctly, there was a "theme" for one of our sense roms, just nothing that could be changed native. =P
Well crap for not releasing publicly haha kiddin. Well maybe i need to just read up on how to do it myself them.
I've made my own Sense launcher..

The more different, the better. To me at least..
See now that launcher is all that i want since the desire one is so unapealing to me. Now i guess its time for me to get to learning so i can do that. Thanks for giving me hope.
Isn't this a port from the MyTouch Slide for the N1? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=635783&highlight=espresso
I dont know if this has been covered yet but i thought you guys would be interested in this information
www youtube com /watch?v=2z-9XgbehQ4
the video shows an X10 running android 2.1, its not clear as to wether its rooted or not but its definately running it
(cant post links, so u have to edit the link before pasting it into your browser )
Pretty nifty! Took forever to boot, hey? Besides the boot logo the fw didnt look SE whored out. Perhaps it is root? Or maybe an early se build?
This video was posted today in youtube.lets hope the guy tell us how he did it
that's a crappy video, hard to see. must have been taken with a crappy phone lol
I must get in touch with that guy to ask him about multitouch capabilities. If this is the official clean 2.1 we can get the final response (the only limit, in this case, could be the bootloader but I don't think so).
the first logo looks like an Arrow sign , may be downloading something to the phone or something else that is why it took that long

And Synaptics has stated several times to me <<just wait and see>>. I believe in multitouch, IMHO it's only a patent problem
For the record Synaptics managed to soft enable multi touch gestures on there standard trackpad panels, its more than possible to enable it with a little bit of fancy work (eg registering each touch seperatly at high speed and then relaying it as a single multi touch gesture to the OS). Multitouch is what everyone is obsessing over today then eh? weather its possible or not is no one else at all at interested in who even did this let alone how?! Peace and love.

ya .. except the boot logo .. cant seem to see anythng else ..
it can also be some emulator+remote desktop video, as it was with htc hd2 running wp7. i am staying calm in this case, no additional info, nothing written there.. even the video quality. from my point of view it is not real.

If its fake i say we get a hold of his email and email him in bulk stating how much of a **** he is, i however dont think its fake, if it was you would expect much more input/response latency than we are seeing, it looks native, and if he where to fake it he would have used 2.2......
Yes, but if you run it in emulator and access it via wifi in local network, the responses also can be quite good.. And as far as I know, hacking the bootloader is really not easy, and honestly - if I'd done it, at first I would write some informations about what I've done.. And not just some "nothing saying" video on youtube..
yeah i think its a little bit conspicuous but.. im not looking for reasons that its fake, lets just take it at face value for the moment. i still am of the view that remote connection isn't as fast as navigation in that video, im going to test this out tonight.
do vanilla 2.1 have a blue status bar like in our 1.6 X10 ? if not it maybe an early SE 2.1 build that they promised because i clearly see a blue status bar and as you guys mentioned the boot-loader is hard to crack
not sure about that ive heard the phone can have multitouch

Can you please give your delusions a rest? I mean... I respect that you wanna give yourself false hope, but please don't give disappointments to the community around you.
It's a fact that it's been officially announced that the hardware doesn't have the capapilities.
I can introduce you a good search engine called 'Google', and to can visit the official Sony Ericsson blogs for the facts.

Yes, this is a hard decision. But I truly love portrait KB. I can type with two hands or one depending on the situation. I don't need super wide keys.
I have had two BB Pearls in the past, and when I had them I thought the landscape KB was going to be awesome. I have had a G1 now for two years with it's landscape KB. I develop iPhone apps, among other things, so with it's virtual KB and the android KB (iPhone sucks without swype lol) I have logged many hours with all the KB types.
Some messages or responses are long, some medium, and some short. With a portrait Slide KB I can use whatever medium I want.
Wow, and the Dell is sexy as hell.
So HD7 has 4.3 inch screen and Dell has 4.1. I'm still leaning towards the Dell

You won't be able to without some sort of hacking, as the manufacturer-specific apps are part of the OEM "differentiation" that Microsoft is promoting.

I'm all for apps that look good but the HTC apps on WP7 don't really seem to serve much purpose at all. The animations take forever and there's lots more usable ways of implementing them.
May be for now htc hub is useless but later may be there is application added by htc that make differance
The Question is .. is all Hubs developed by companies can be easily move from one device to other company device
i liked the Dell device as well, but in a long run i will stick to the HD7 and for the first time in a long time i will be using a phone with out a physical keyboard.....
i will rather have a HTC device then any other as i like to try the goddies from XDA gods (chefs)...
and dell is not selling in Asia anyway... maybe as a second phone i will get the venue pro...
Having had an HD2 for a while and a Touch Pro before that, oh and a TyTn before that, I think HTC's software is just bloaty eye-candy at best.
The app store will cover everything you need anyway.
I like the weather app and the equalizer.. wouldn't mind having them on my Venue Pro.
The Dell Venue Pro would have been perfect (for me) if it had:
1) HTC Locations (/ maps)
2) HTCSense.com functionality
3) Flash (as per the HTC Desire HD)
All Windows Phones have HTCSense.com functionality built in... MyPhone
so, we won't be able to get it.
i'm sure there must be a way to unpack it from the rom and make a (how are the cab's called now?)...

I'd say it was moved from the Dev general forum because you asked about a specific device...
Maybe you could start a new thread in the Dev general (or Win7 Dev) asking about the possibility of extracting the Sense stuff and getting it onto other non-HTC WP7 devices?
yeah but what is the file structure like in comparison to venue pro? Is the application hw or sw based? and how do we recompile the container to install on our side?
we may need a jailbreak =/
I'm only guessing, but I'd say it's only software based and will work on pretty much any WP7 device if it can be pulled from an HTC one.

I read a tweet that said some of the HTC apps are native... No proof though.
so, is there a new thread, or not?, cuse we might make work of it (is that english??)
Would really like to try out WP7 but I heard there are some touchscreen issues with the current and only ROM available. Based on how DFT released the the first Android NAND build and opened the gates for developers to update with new fixes that are currently I can only hope more developers start doing the same with WP7. Also with the workaround to have access to the marketplace does this mean we can also receive updates from Microsoft since they recognize it as a HD7?

I hope so.

I don't think we'll be getting any updates because of our hard buttons and every other wp7's capacitive buttons.. But I could be wrong and hope im wrong
Sent from my HD4.5 using Board Express
It seems to me like current ROM is pretty much perfect, or as perfect as it's going to get, given that the OS is closed and never existed for this device in the first place (unlike Android/WinMo6).
I've not had a single issue since I installed - everything works identically to a 'real' WP7 device.
Guys lets use the best motivation for developers
I make the beginning:
For an fully fonctional Costum and STABLE WP7 Rom for our HD2s WITH WORKING MARKETPLACE
where you dont get the error message "cant get this info right now try again in a while" when trying installing an app
I will donate 35 $
I will donate 25$, with a better Kamera

u have to change the registrz etc....see the first posts in this forum...
than this message wont appear..
yes it is . I had a hd7 and this build is just the same in every way IMO .
Like mentioned, the camera lacking the autofocus is the only major problem in the DFT build. Because Microsoft only has one version available for every manufacturer and they cant make any changes to the system for now, theres not much to develop.
I never thought I'd like WP7 this much, it's clean and simple. With the integration of Zune it's a great mediaplayer.
The only thing you have to do is activate to make the OS usefull, without activating it's just an empty skin.
Oh, a decent door to door navigation app is what's still missing.
actually the preview of the camera is crap but the actual photos it takes are perfectly in focus and look fine to me

When you go to setting/about it should show your phone as HD7, not Leo70... if it says Leo70, then you didn't change the registry right.

I know it would maybe take 10 min or something but you would really help me with that.
I searched entire days but couldn't figure out what to do and which registry type i should create in the HTC folder i made in the registry.
The marketplace is the last thing remained more making my wp7 perfect.
Thanks really a lot
For me I had a bad version of XMOD (45kb instead of 131kb) found the other and reinstalled and ok . (342kb before install) .

That is correct, but strangely all the backlighting of the buttons etc worked out of the box, buttons it is easy to fix if you want.
Just a little test for fun nothing else, also saw that there was support for mdpi so theoretically it could be working on Hero with some manual intervention.
Another thing to, boot up without problems

Yes it's going to run like ass and our screens won't do any good either.
But... as always, I'm eager to see what crazy stuff the ROM-people come up with.
but the sdk version includes some feature of switching from tablet to mobile mode by simply changing resolution... they won't have included it if it wasn't meant to be run on mobiles, and in 3.1, mobile (2.x) and tablet (3.0) development lines shall be joined (says wikipedia lol). moreover, lots of people out here said it would be impossible to run 2.2 and 2.3 on hero, and right now i'm looking at my rooted android 2.3 hero which is incredibly smooth and stable (way better than with stock os). so why shouldn't it be possible? ele just said even backlight of the buttons worked out of the box, which was not case in 2.x. i'm still believing in our developers (although i can't code well enough to support them ) and i'm sure they'll do some magic
greets, Summoner
Do you really use wikipedia for truths? Anyone can add to Wiki?!
no i don't... i just think it sounds possible... otherwise, there would be two future development lines which the consequence would be that there were VERY different features depending where more / the better devs work on lol^^
i didn't claim it was the absolute truth, otherwise i wouldn't have explicitly said it came from wiki ...
