I recently flashed the newest version of fission onto my DX. I used titanium backup and then ran a restore batch once I flashed it and I do not have swype which it feels like I can't live without it. Any suggestions or can I just get an apk?
Thanks

Check in the fission rom manager - there should be a swype keyboard install in there somewhere.

I am looking at a new ROM, I am leaning towards Apex, or Fission but would like suggestions on what the best (better) Droid X ROM is out there. UpsideI, downside etc.
FYI, I am rooted, Deodexed using the 928 black glass, and currently running an Incognito Red theme blurless (which I really like the font of and would like to keep at least the font)
TIA
tried both, sticking with fission right now. Although....Apex was very smooth, but at the time I was using it I was on a release day X that couldnt overclock past 1.1, and with Apex I had about 10 reboots a day. Currently on a new DX that easily overclocks and since installing fission I havent gone back (although im tempted to try Rubix Focused) If you want a clean rom to start with though try fission. Its like starting with a clean copy of Windows, very nice
On fission after being on apex, loving the support on fission. Had no issues with apex rebooting just wanted a change. Gotta say I'm not going back to apex anytime soon.
Whichever you choose, I recommend an sbf before changing between roms. I didn't coming from apex to fission.

Thank for the feedback, however a noob question. With the method of how I deodexed (928 black glass) are there certain ROMS I can or cannot/should not run over this? Blur, Blurless etc? Would I still be able to run the Incognito theme blurless over Fission?
TIA
you wont have any issues, but if you want to double check for yourself open root explorer (i hope you have it) and search for *.odex
An SBF and then following the Fission directions to a T is a must though.
As for themes, only use those compatible, or if there are certain features in a theme you like you can take those specific packages and install them
Fission and darkslide are my favorites. Make a backup and try them all. If you don't like it restore a backup or flash another.

I went from Fission to Rubix, Rubix to me has been much more stable then Fission.

What themes can I put over Rubix? I really like Revolution and Incognito are any of these applicable to rubix?

Not so sure what themes you can put over Rubix I'm sure it's on the roms thread. Right now the theme I'm on is called darkberry, you can find it on droid life forum.

Best way to tell which ROM is best for you is to try 'em all out and decide for yourself. You might be supprised at what you may find.
I wanted to try out the newly released version of swype. So I deleted the preloaded swype and installed the new version. Everything worked fine until I rebooted the phone. Swype kept fc. I did have a back up of the old one. So I deleted the newer swype, and tried to restore the preloaded swype with Titanium Backup. TB said back up finished, but I couldn't find swype in the language section in the settings.
What can I do to have the preloaded swype again?
Moved as not android development
Has anybody successfully replaced pre-installed Swype with latest beta?
I thought I would try and install the latest version of Swype beta to replace the pre-installed version. I rooted, and followed the instructions at http://forum.swype.com/showthread.php?1641-Tutorial-Installing-Beta-Swype-on-Droid-X
However, like the op, Swype kept force closing on me even as I was trying to install it.
Has anybody been successful in updating Swype?
Cheers,
Steve.
don't choose the full language pack when installing swype beta. it keeps fc-ing on me

Does that mean you managed to get the other version to install?

Yes. No fc so far

Can you remember what steps you took to disable the pre-installed version and install the beta? Rooting, and renaming the 3 files listed didn't seem to work properly for me.
Cheers,
Steve.
I used Titanium Backup to uninstall swype. Then followed the steps on swype website to install the beta version

Greetings from the Galaxy S forums. My cousin has a Droid 2 and I noticed it was very laggy. I new it could be better. She is not tech savy and I only see her about once every couple of months, so whichever ROM I choose to put on for her has to be stable, she is thinking about switching to the iPhone because hers is so slow, so please, help me keep her on the good side of the force!

Use fission rom
All you need to do is download fission rom manager and Droid 2 bootstrap I believe.
from fission rom manager you can download the rom and install. There are also themes and boot animations.
Fission is pretty much vanilla android. Download launcher pro to eliminate homescreen lag.
Also, use titanium backup to back up all apps and data she has before installing the new rom.

i think youd get a better response over at droid forums, they have at least 12-15 different roms over there.
The Droid 2 and OG Droid can run the same ROM's?

No, roms for every phone are different.
Also, if you can't choose a rom, download Launcher Pro on said phone. This is a homescreen replacement and will get rid of most of the homescreen lag.
If she wants to switch back to the stock launcher she needs to have
"Homesmack" and "Moto Home Fix" installed (both of these are in the market, you can install these for her as well)
Homesmack lets you choose which homescreen to set as the default. Moto Home Fix is needed if she wishes to go back to the Motorola launcher (it's not a launch-able app, just a fix to go along with Homesmack)
cyanogenmod 7
Check out the Cyanogenmod 7 thread for this device and download the latest build of cyanogenmod 7 and flash it over the stock rom.
You need koush droid 2 bootsrap to get CWM and wipe cache and data then flash cyanogenmod 7
May the force be with you!!!!
IMO, Fission is very stable and quick.
Hey guys, i love the CM7 keyboard, but i am currently using Darkside 2.5.1 and i would like to know how i can flash the keyboard from CM7 over, or how i can install it onto Darkside. Any assistance would be of great help!
try putting cm7 onto your phone again after backing up what you need using titanium backup and then backup the "android keyboard" files using cm7 and then stick the rom you want on and restore all the files using titanium backup
sorry its not very clear but im a retard at english
Just download the gingerbread keyboard from the market: here. CM7 is the AOSP keyboard for gingerbread.

Just tried that but it seems to be missing the option I wanted which is the seconds delay before the keys pop up. In the CM7 version there's an option to set the delay in milliseconds of the keys pop up =[

So apparently since the new Sprint ROMs include swype, swype beta no longer works on the EVO unless I go back to a froyo ROM. However this version of swype that's available with mik g is horrendous. Any one know of a solution to this?
Thanks.
Which beta you using? And I'm using the latest Swype I think but not sprint installed.

just uninstall swype and swype installer, reboot, d/l the newest swype installer and you should be good
That works best. That's actually what I usually do..I'm just delirious right now.

Yeah, i found another thread on this after my post. I tried following the directions but neither the app or the lib file were in my system. I deleted things through titanium before searching and must have removed something important because when I reinstall I just get force closes on restart.
I'm using mikg if it makes a difference. I'm having other problems with this ROM so i might as well just start over. I used mik froyo for ever without problems. I had everything the way I like it. Then found out the details about carrier iq. Rather then try doing it manually I went for the new ROM.
Anyway thanks for the help sorry for the rant.
