Best thing that ever happened to the hero

Was gonna put it in the applications section but it's far too important i think: SWYPE
Says it all..the only thing I considered annoying in the handset was the keyboard and now it's perfect! Try it if you still haven't and it shall change your life

So because you can type faster it... oh never mind

I used to be a Swype user, until I found Swiftkey.
Swiftkey definitely works much much faster than Swype for me because of its predictive text, which is actually smart and usable.

I appreciate your elaborate sense of humour but look up 'metaphor' mate.. I shared something on the forum which I thought was important and if you don't like it or want to take the piss go on 4chan

thanks for the tip, will try that out definitely!

Don't forget to add it to the exception list of your task killer, if you use one.
Because this keyboard takes a little bit longer than the HTC one to start up.
EDIT: Oh and a new version is out today btw!

i've been using slideIT which is so good i haven't bothered with swype yet, but now i'm tempted to try swiftkey.

I love Swype, but the SYM layout is just terrible.
Why can't they stick to the standard QWERTY layout? This is what I'm talking about, btw:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It also needs an option to remove the "Hint" key completely. It's wasting valuable space.

for those wanting to try Swype;

hoi,
odin

Good thing i grabbed a copy of it before the mods took down your link. been wanting to try it. Its cool and all but i find that correcting my mistakes and adding new words is a pain and takes away my speed. I type way faster on the default keyboard with auto correct on. No match. It also takes up too much space on the screen and is a ~20mb app (doesnt matter for me since i have apps2sd). Thanks for sharing though odin13.

I would love to try Swype and compare it to SlideIT and Swiftkey but I can't find a swedish version of it. Swiftkey does the job pretty well but everyone keep saying how good Swype is and I'd like to try.
But the last update of SlideIT was pretty good add well, predicts words great now, the only thing I'm missing is a fast way to reach special characters.

Swiftkey kept crashing my browser. I had to uninstall it and went back to Swype. Then I remembered why I like Swype so much.

Quick question, so now that the Gingerbread SDK is released,,what does that mean? Do that mean that Devs will start making roms based off that or that the official Gingerbread 2.3 is right around the corner?

Any word on whether or not they decided to use that BlindType keyboard that they bought earlier?

I KNEW IT!! haha thank you
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I'm not going to lie. I'm not impressed. Android's copy and paste icons look like something from about 10 years ago to me. I like HTC's version better.
And the updated ui does look a little better now that everything is black with green highlights. Still an ugly ui overall.

It just helps app developers get up to speed. People have tried to do roms from these but they come out very hacky at best. The source for 2.3 is needed for full roms. The is the sdk.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I suppose that HTC has it in development already so they can inlay Sense over top of this. Also, now all the Dev's can start developing their new Rom's with this base. Hopefully Flipz is still on top of his game! No telling how long it will be before Sprint is done with it. I would imagine they will hold up any official update for whatever they have to do. It's just a matter of time now.

I swear I've embedded videos on the forums here ...

Android 2.3 sure looks ugly. I guess I'll be making a theme that makes it look like Froyo.

it means devs can start making apps for it im i think , but knowing xda theyll do their thing and have roms out before the official release

One of the stated features of GB is "better keyboard". One would assume that may mean "yes" to your question.

Any rumblings around on whether or not Sprint/HTC will be releasing a 2.3 build...I know I'm jumping the gun considering this just happened, but wanted to get some opinions.

Does the Hero have Froyo? Does the Moment? We wont know until/if it happens.
Either way we probably won't see a official 2.3 device on Sprint for at least a few months.

Kejar,
You do some amazing work! I really enjoy the look and feel of your work, but I'm still not one to do ROM's yet. I am trying to learn the basic's of just getting themes and creating images for the themes before I jump in too deep =)
The reason I originally asked about extracting out the rotary lock as I figured you had built this from source like you did with GummyJAR. I appreciate your quick responses, as I know many devs have a lot going on, and cannot always reply immediately.
If I send you a PM, would you mind answering a few questions for me? I'm trying to jump in to themes, and eventually ROM's, and hopefully be able to give back to the community the same way you have.
Thanks again, appreciate the help and work!

Using GJ 2.1 and its fantastic. But what bugs me is the Zoom icon when browsing the web. Pinch to zoom is great. Don't really need the onscreen zoom icon. Its just annoying.

kejar - I'm still available to test...

Been running GJ2.1 for about a week now, switched from TranQ 3.6. Just want to thank you for the best ROM I've ever used. What a pleasure to have no random reboots. My DX is now as bulletproof as my Mac, the system will run forever if I don't reboot it.
Looking forward to GJ2.5.

Thanks
I just wanted to say thanks for the great GummyJar ROM. The best so far since my dipping into the ROM world. Thanks again!

I agree. GummyJAR is also the best ROM I have used to date and it just keeps getting better . Thanks for you work Kejar.

Time to get a ROM on that badboy. It really is VERY easy. Shoot me a PM if you need some help. I'd be glad to lend a hand

Any chance of removing the zoom buttons from the browser? Just a small request for an otherwise awesome rom.
Can't wait for 2.5 to drop.

What keyboard is for YOU?

What keyboard do you like best? The one that looks the best? The one you can type fastest from with ease?
I just tried the themed android keyboard from miui and damnnn am I typing fast.
If I was to be using I hand though Swype "hands down"

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Do other OS keyboards count. If so, then I choose Windows Phone 7. Perfect response time and key sizes.
On Android, then yes, the miui keyboard is best for me.

swiftkey for me.

I agree I type faster on the android keyboard, but swype is more convenient for me.

I use the gingerbread keyboard, so much better since I used the original Android keyboard for a couple years

I bet you do a lot of that one handed typing don't you.
UltraKeyboard is my keyboard of choice. Worth the couple bucks. Can fully theme it how you want it, including key size and spacing, has a ton, a ton, of features, and a swype like function that you can train and set pause parameters on. I highly recommend it.
Swiftkey is good too, if I could theme it I would probably use that all the time.

I'm using swiftkey, the only thing that I don't like that's it's bright, I would rather have a darker keyboard.

Smartkeyboard why? Because it's smart duhh

smart keyboard pro for me. ridiculous customization
+ custom smileys xD

Those are all my keyboards...

Swype for me. I hope they keep letting us beta test on all these custom ROMs.

so it has a lot the grow.
it's the lewa launcher.

But, I'm trying to figure out why my wifi isn't working. In logcat, wifi fails with a message "wpa_supplicant failed" or something like that (eating right now, too lazy to copy + paste log message verbatim). If I get wifi working, this rom is a keeper!
