[Q] Swipe gestures - XPERIA X8 General

After seeing a Galaxy S, I was thinking if is possible to have some swipe gestures on X8. Like on Galaxy S dialer, swipe right a contact dial to him, swipe left to text. Found it quite nice.
Is there any options like this on 2.2? I'm using Floyo 0.20.
Thanks,
V.

No way, we actually have gestures for pinch and game mode. I think dox didnt need to have that so we dont have too.

if ur impatient fast forward to 1:16
i'm pretty sure this is gonna be implemented in the software upgrade for the X10.
fairly nice way to get around pinch to zoom i think
wont be missing pinch to zoom methinks
nice. i honestly couldn't give a ****e if multi was on x10 or not. If it did, that'd be great, but if not, meh. Don't understand the people that would pass on this phone just because it doesn't have multitouch.
yea me too, but zooming on the browser and google maps was getting a bit irritating for me. although downloading opera solves this issue with the "double tap" feature.
i just thought i should post this so those who lack of multi touch IS an issue might reconsider.
Oooh. That looks great! Hopefully that gallery will find it's way in to the standard X10 when 2.1 goes live!
Zooming is not a problem but multitouch will be required by games most likely.
This will affect gamers but for somebody else the missing MT it shouldn't be a problem.
Having gestures all over the phone will help a lot.
The only place that multitouch is really useful is the onscreen keyboard (especially for those who type fast, there'll be lest missed inputs)

Not a problem for me either. And I used Fingerkeyboard on my X1 before I got my X10.
Any confirmation that this is coming to the X10? The video shows the X10 Mini.

Which Android keyboard is best?

I've changed my Android Rom from mattc/froyo 1.7 to 1.8 and can't find the blk keyboard that was on 1.7. (with the Mic symbol) .
I was just wondering if anyone knows of a decent keyboard or knows how to get the other keyboard up ?

ive been using mdeejay's HD build 3.0.5 now for awhile, several days and no issues.
aside from no camera, everything else seems to work.
wifi, GPS, sound (no skipping) no lag, calls are great, speakerphone is clear and loud. in call volume is really loud.
everything except the camera is working for me.

First enable it in settings (maybe it's already enabled by default, dunno), then press the symbols key a couple'o times.
I use Ultra Keyboard and as far as customisation, it cant be beat. Every aspect can be changed, key color, size, layout. It has gestures, swype style tracing, arrow keys and a toolbar that can be hidden/shown via gestures (toolbar has things like clipboard, zoom, quicklink to ultra kb settings, etc), camera option for texting while walking, and you can save/restore your keyboard settings so you dont have to set up your keyboard with each build on your sd card. It is a paid app in market, but imho its well worth the dollar or dollar fifty whatever it is. Give it a try and theres no way you wont be impressed, its the cadillac of android keyboards
I would say Swype, hands down.
Many keyboards have similar style of functionality, but none of them come close in quality and accuracy.
Yeah swype. Voice input swype is the best. Also their different skins for them too.

You're not wrong, the dev really put some work into this one. just tried it out, Buying now!
DROID X!!!!!!
Droid x keyboard is the best on android till today, plus its multitouch. I have used htc keyboard, swype, smart keyboard, black android keyboard and many others and NONE touch the droid x keyboard, give it a shot.
lol...okay just bought ultra keyboard and man its good....DOHHH!!!
second edit: WOW!!! ultra keyboard is it dude, i had tried all except from it, thanks guys. only problem is multitouch acts a lil weird.
Bought Ultra Keyboard on the back of this thread. I've become a bit disillusioned of Swype putting 'urea' when I swyped 'yea' and other such nonsense.
I'll try it out!

Paranoid android 3.0 bluetooth question.

Hi, I want to update my nexus 7 with new PA. But when I test one of last beta, I had a problem with pairing n7 with my phone. It is working, but every time I lost connection (because I went with my n7 to other room) i had to accept pairing request on both devices, and I had to do it twice. After accept on phone and n7, it appears once again I must accept it again. This was really annoying, and now I'm on PA 2.5 and I dont need to pair my devices every time, I had to do it only first time when I paired my phone and nexus. I remember that on stock 4.2 it was the same, I paired my devices only once. And my question is: how it works in PA3.0? It's corrected? I'm asking because this is most important thing for me, I have an app which allow me to write text messages from my tablet via bluetooth and shows me when someone calling me, and I almost dont need to even look at my phone. But on new Paranoid I have take it to hand every time when i lose connection.
And sorry for my english, it isn't my native language.

Hello, im sorry but i'll take this topic to ask a little question to paranoid users.
When I decided to experiment paranoid, I installed the 14January2013 version, and I just liked a lot the full tablet UI mixed with the phablet UI (little icons and more space in the launcher, and much more icons in the drawer, perfect fitted).
It happens that with the newer versions i just cant get the same UI (even the new 3+ 4.2.2), when I put the same definitions in Hybrid Properties my launcher borders became limited, is like the same space of a phablet normal UI but the little icons that i want in the middle of the screen. Its that normal? I would like to update, but i really apreciate the UI that I get with this precisely build (14JAN).
Workspace
layout - Tablet mode (1000p)
size - 160dpi
lockscreen 180 dpi
global apps
sys apps UI - phablet UI 600p
user apps UI - Tablet mode 1000p

Do you use the stock launcher or Nova? You can change the launcher borders (if I'm reading what you're saying correctly) with Nova.

[Request] Xperia Z ROM

Hi.
I love the whole Xperia Z rom and it would be great if someone can create a Xperia Z rom for the I9505.
(lockscreen, launcher, appdrawer, notificatin center, quick toggles, menu, applications etc)
I know there a few things from the Z, like launcher and media apps and I use them, but there a still a few things left for a Z feeling! (especially lockscreen and notification bar/toggles)
Thanks.
The only thing I need from the Z is location-based wifi, the rest is pretty much already ported.

Sure? Can you show me working lockscreen for the I9505?

Best launcher?! Discuss!!

I can't fault nova launcher at the mo, so much simple customisation it just works a treat!
Anyone got any recommendations for other good ones to try? And any good lock screen apps!
First proper post from the app! Sorry if it's a duplicate
Cheers all!

+111 :good: Nova great
Action launcher man
nova followed by buzz launcher
I'm using Blinkfeed, nothing wrong with it, launches my apps and shows my widgets. I don't need much more than that!
sense/blinkfeed hands down :good:
nova has been my goto since ice cream was the os apex would be my next choice
Before I've got HTC with sense I had had used many of launchers, but now I now the one and only sense. I don't want anything else right now.

not really
Usually always go for nova, used it on my s4 and using it on my nexus 7, but sticking with HTC launcher on the M8 (with blink feed switched off). HTC have done a great job with it, its very smooth and light. There's no extra animations or features hogging ram as it was on previous htcs, you always have more customisation with nova/apex/etc if you want it.
Nova prime for the last 4 years. Tried many but always go back to it.
Google now launcher, also love miui light/express
I use Nova Prime on all my devices... except this one
I've got Nova installed, but haven't bothered to set it up. I've been using Sense the whole time. I guess I am enjoying the "minimalist" look and feel of Sense. I'm not running any widgets, just a few icons and icon folders.
I much prefer Apex launcher for couple of reasons. My setup is single screen with some icons, folders and widgets. I don't use blinkfeed and standard launcher was our right away due to its limitations. With Apex I can turn off transition animations completely, so there are no distractions when swiping to the sides. Same can be done with Nova, but when checking CPU consumption Nova still uses more resources when swiping to the side, even if there is no other screen there and no animation. I feel that Apex is more optimized that way. The biggest advantage when compared to Nova is that gestures in Apex work on free launcher. On Nova you have to pay for the functionality. I use gestures a lot (swipe down/up), so Apex was the clear winner.
Thanks to Google Rewards credits, I've bought practically all the big name launchers out there...ADW, Nova, Apex, Action, Lightning, Go, Next 3D, TSF, missing Smart Launcher as I find it a bit too limiting to pay for yet. Also tried practically all the big name cutting edge free ones like Google, Aviate, Nokia Z, Terrain, Solo, Buzz, Themer. The one I keep coming back to time and time again after I'm done playing with a new launcher is Action Launcher. It just can't be beat in pure day to day efficiency. I love the Covers folder concept, and I find it hard to stick with other launchers on a daily basis after getting used to Action Launcher's slide out app drawer that has the quick first letter search.
I actually do like the stock Blinkfeed launcher a lot, and actually find Blinkfeed useful. I just wish it allowed for some gestures, especially one to pull down the notification tray from anywhere. I found myself missing that one gesture enough to go back to a 3rd party launcher.
My favourite launcher on the M7 is definitely the stock HTC launcher, especially since Sense 5.5 (I think) when BlinkFeed had an option to remove it, rather than having to flash the mod to remove it.
It's been since we've had the option to remove BlinkFeed that I've actually enjoyed and found it more useful to use it.
I do also have the pro versions of ADW, Apex, Nova and TSF Shell though so at least I can always switch to them whenever I fancy.
Talking about switching to a custom launcher, I usually switch to one of them every 3-4 months and stick with it for a few weeks, as I like to customize the hell out of my homescreens from time to time and they're obviously better for doing just that.
ADW isn't as relevant these days though as it simply hasn't got the customizability of Apex and Nova.
I don't have a favourite between Apex and Nova though as they both offer great usability and customization and I tend to switch seamlessly between them, dependant on what kind of set up I'm working on.
BLINKFEED/SENSE!!!!!!
If i haven't told u guys already hehe :silly:
