There is, I'm using it, and it's way past beta.
Search the forums, there's a thread about it, and on a last page some nice dude posted a link to a post-beta Swype for N1. It's 100% working for me.

Oh trust me, its better that I've said than the 1000 other people who are/were going to say it. I thought to myself "I'm never going to be the one who tells others to search", but because even I have seen the question asked so many times.. guess it was one of the things that I thought should've been done first.

For me, one of the best things after rooting is actually wifi tethering.

iDroid by Brownboyrx

Hey guys. If somebody can download the Theme above (just search iDroid) from the Market and tell me why it won't work, that is great. I need to fix it and need help from someone with a Droid X. <3 you guys.

If you're trying to facilitate making their Droid anything like an iPhone then I'm not going to help.
Sorry.

It's called iDroid but it's nothing near the iPhone. FUSCK APPLE FOR LIFE! ANDROID TILL I DIE! Now someone please test my damn Theme.

If you really hate apple and don't want to confuse people,you should rename your app to something sans "i".

WTF?! Does it work?!

Your posting stuff like this is not going to make anyone test your theme. For one, no one here wants anything to do with iWhatever.
Sent from my DROIDX

Jeez, if your not going to help the guy just ignore the post, no reason to fill up his thread with unneeded and unwanted responses. Someone here may be interested in the theme he is creating. No need to sound like a butch of immature fan boys.

Uhhhhhh yeah the theme isn't mine. I published it for someone and maintained it. But I can help if u need it. The problem was hdpi icons weren't scaled right. It has been fixed and I have a mother themer working on it right now.

Are you talking about the ADW iDroid theme? or the GDE one

This could have been handled much better by the op

Any way to use HTC widgets without Sense?

Yo,
Like many of you, I've noticed that the default android home program is faster than Sense. I miss having my clock and calendar widgets though.
Any way to get them onto default home without going back to sense?
Thanks

No. Search for alternatives.

I'd say thankyou, as I guess technically you answered my question, but there's no need to be blunt or rude about it. I searched this forum and others before I asked my question and asked it in a fairly polite way.
Basically, if you're going to take the time to write a reply, be civil or keep it to yourself.

I think just using another ROM that not using Sense... many of them you can find it here, in development forum.

Ah okay, so do some of the other roms (like Cyanogen etc) have HTC widgets included or did I just completely misunderstand what you said?
Cheers,
Jenan

Hi,
you can use HTC-widgets only with sense. As for the clock and calendar, take a look at beautiful widgets, I like it more than the one that comes with sense. For a calendar-widget, that looks quite as the one from HTC I bought launcher pro plus, the included calendar-widget looks nearly the same way.

Cheers man, I'll check those out. Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it

That's fair enough. I just did a quick google to test it, and found that I'd have to dig through a few forums to find an answer. I think what it is is that people ask halfway through other, unrelated, threads, instead of opening a new one.
Swyped from my HTC Legend

Just in case anybody's wondering or searching for this in the future, i've found the best method - for my purposes - of getting the benefits of the android homescreen and sense in one.
An older version of Fancy Widget I found on rapidshare is the only accurate replacement for the HTC flip clock, I believe it's version 1.2.5
Launcher Pro Plus paid edition has great Sense-like widgets that are actually faster and more responsive than the vanilla sense widgets. It's also hugely customisable and eye-bleedingly fast compared to Sense.
Hope that helps anyone who had the same problems as me

Sorry to say that there is a way better clock widget out there.. Take a look at "world forecast&clock"
It has weather animations as well..
This one is no doubt the one that comes closest to original HTC Sense clock

Kernal Sandars
Hey, cut the OP some slack. This is the wrong forum for the post, but at least they didn't spell kernel "kernal"
But seriously, <3me, these sorts of post really do belong in the General discussion forum. Now, if this were a real project underway (as in, in actual development) instead of a wishlist, that's the sort of thing that's good for the development forum.
If everyone starts posting their wishlists in the development forum, this place will get so cluttered (not that this doesn't happen all the time anyways) that it will be difficult to follow the actual projects (custom kernels, distributions, etc).

Ahh, big words. Ok, your not a little baby, your a prepubesent teenage angst with a body count GIRL. Let the mods do their job, quit stomping through threads with dumb crap like that.
Ppl, questions get posted in the dev section all the time. To stop yourself looking like a drooli.g fool, be an ADULT and ignore it; the mods will take care of.
That's what their not paid to do, after all.

I for one would like to see this moved to Development because the OP does have some valid ideas. This is pretty much what I would like in a ROM as well so it would be nice to hear some feedback from some actual Devs rather than just someone who feels like bashing the OP (johnsongrantr).

Regarding ROM Themes. Opinion.

Is it just me or do most of these ROM themes suck? I dont mean to offend the devs. There are some awesome ROMs but the design of the icons on the status bar and stuff just looks like ****. Is it just me? Been wanting to try out a ROM but its kinda ugly.

Yep, some of the themes do not have aesthetics!
Anyways, I don't understand the concept of locking a specific theme to a ROM...just hate that! I like the good old Galaxy 3/Galaxy S days, when a single theme could be applied to any ROM/Fw!

A lot of those themes look like they've been drenched in Photoshop Layer-Options. Looks horrible. Yay for MIUI, which looks awesome.

The best option for you guys is to make one yourself. When you get something for free, it is very easy to criticize.
Just try making a theme and you will know what it takes.

No need to offend people when you don't like something.

My only issue is with the choice of your words. Your post is insulting. I am not referring to me, but to the entire fraternity of themers and devs here.
You may not like all the themes out here, but say it in a civilized way, that's all.
