Fixed licensing issue causing some users to receive an “Incorrect ID” error when installing Swype
Fixed a bug where manually typing some words with word-prediction enabled would cause Swype to crash

is english and russian (seems heavily modded to add russian/cyrillic keyboards, had to get rid of those when switching to italian)
to all the italian users: good news. works pretty well on my desire! as soon as i can change the language name in UI i'll post it well since i'm quite a noob in android dev i tried some tricks but didn't work... just know that the second language is italian and not russian
here it is: http://www.mediafire.com/file/wmfmfdqmizk/Swype_1.56.30.7625.t100_WVGA_EN_IT_by_rock3r_signed.apk

It took me a while to figure out how to install this.
I only have the phone a week.
Is this the best way?
1. Download the file.
2. Plug your phone into your computer
3. Drop the file into the root directory of your micro sd.
4. Plug out cable from phone..
5. Open Astro, find the apk and install it from there.
6. Close astro.
7. Go to settings - language and keyboard.
8. Check the swype button.
9. Open a new text message and hold your finger in the text entry box.
10. Select input method and select swype.

Sky Raider ROM 3.3 Final [UPDATED: 10/12/10] FAQ & HOW TO

Decided to help out and with the ok from ihtfp69 i wrote up a FAQ page
for everyone who uses Sky Raider Rom 3.3 Final
feel free to add.
zip is 180,304 kb
Sense 3.3 Requires a FULL WIPE
to avoid reboots make sure you have S-Off, Upgrade the radio to the OTA version
Wipe everything:
Factory Reset
Data Cache
Dalvik Cache
then apply SR 3.3
The initial boot animation is only there for the first boot and reverts to the original thereafter.
The fix for Rom Manager for fix permissions requires you to open Rom Manager once and then it will work after a reboot
Q: How to flash the ROM?
A:good info here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709220
Q: Since 3.3 requires a full wipe, due to all the changes, I was wondering if the MM mappings for the rosie launcher are still compatible with this new release.
A: All of the mappings are new so make sure you clear out the old ones and download the new ones.
Q:how to Change your lock screens from adb or terminal shellLock
A: there are 13 different lock screens including the HTC one
You must be on SP1 or higher to use them
Change your lock screens from adb or terminal shell
Type 'tabunlock' or 'rotaryunlock' to get the menu seen below
Please choose from the menu - S-OFF REQUIRED
1) normal
2) normal+menu unlock
3) normal+trackball unlock
4) music buttons
5) music buttons+menu unlock
6) music buttons+trackball unlock
7) restore HTC lock screen
8) get me out of here!
reboot
Q: how do you get a logcat?
A: Run CMD prompt and in while in the root folder sdk/tools/ run the command "adb logcat" copy paste all you see onto pastebin.com and post the link. or download logcat from market

"HTC Mail Mod for EAS Admin Removal" You just go to settings -> security -> remove admin policy

Any chance someone wants to actually put this on the wiki?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Droid_Incredible
There is a ROM section in there and would be a much better location than in a forum post.
What do you guys think?

Baseband version 1.00.03.03.06
hi
I am running SkyRaider 3.0 Sense RC3 but I have been unsuccessful in updating the radio. I've tried HBOOT but it doesn't like the image, tried renaming to update.zip, tried running the zip from Recovery.
Please advise.
thanks
Jack

Hello,
I would like to know what is "HTC Mail Mod for EAS Admin Removal". Is this some kind of feature?
I would like to disable the PIN Lock on my phone that is enforced by my companies security policy. I used to use LockPicker on Android 2.1 but that no longer works. Is there another solution for Android 2.2?
Thanks.
Nevermind I found it. You should add this to the FAQ. You just go to settings -> security -> remove admin policy (forgot the actual name since after I removed it, the option is no longer there)

Im having a couple of problems
1) I cant get my Yahoo mail account to set up, I have installed the Mail Mod from ROM manager.
2) I am trying to install an application from the market and i am getting the error saying I dont have enough space to install. I really dont have many apps so i dont think thats accurate. I have cleared the market's cache, data, and restarted the application, problem still persists.
Thanks for the help

Check to see how many saved backups you have. Each backup can be upwards of 300mb's. If you have more than three that could be the problem. Happened to me once before. I got rid of a couple unnecessary backup files and freed up over half a gig of space. Apps from the market installed with no problems again afterward.

chrisloveskaos said:
Q: How to enable Tab Lock Screen with Sound Controls?
A: You need to remove the HTC lock screen to get to the underlying stock lock screen, get into Recovery, mount system, I go into adb shell to remove
cmd prompt
Code:
c:/sdk/tools>adb shell
~# (showsup) mkdir /system/app.disabled/
~# mv /system/app HtcLockScreen.apk /system/app.disabled/
~# exit

You have to let it sit for a good while... mine took like 5 minutes after changing the lock screen.

Is it normal for it to take up to 3 hours to complete? Cuz that's what keeps happening

[ROM] MIUI rom 2.3.2

This is the 2.3.2 MIUI ROM
Everything in this ROM is working well, there aren't FC and the screenshots finally are working!
To have the Market working, you have to flash through CWM the latest version of the Google Apps, then, if the market isn't there, you have to manually install it
So, now enjoy your FULL WORKING MIUI ROM!
Thanks to sewa2k and akalos for the help

Hi, the screenshots are working well (it's also written in the first post =)), i haven't had any type of FC or bug, some applications are in chinese caracters, i don't know how to see if logcat works... The ROM is really fast and smooth, it seems that everything is working well

Hi, just a confirm Screenshot works also for me in 1.12.16 with terminal emulator or root explorer script, but not from notification bar (not a big problem) just weating for your review:
- about logcat just write logcat inside terminal emulator and press enter
- power buttom give 4 way reboot (normal-hot boot-bootloader-recovery)?
- what applications in chinese? (in 1.12.16 no one in chinese and it's very important for me)
- from maps, compass streetview works?
I'm testing 1.12.16 and all working fine inside this beatiful rom (no limits fps, root, busybox, sms, missing call, compass running street view, good sound)

In the SMS app all is in english, but in the favorites and recommended the phrases are in chinese (it's not so important, these are the predetermined phrases) and holding home the app manager/app killer is in chinese, but if you know that the botton to the left is the app killer and the botton to the right is the app manager you won't have problems
When you first install the rom there are 2 superuser, but when you tap on one, it opens and after a reboot there is only one and it works without problems =)

I updated from the official 512 using CWM 5.0.2.7, try this, maybe it works =)

I reinstalled it manually formatting system and it worked! I'm very impressed with this ROM, so far everything is working well and as always Miui is very elegant . I only have to test consumption, the previous ROM managed to suck only 3%/hour with 3G always on, let's see
Btw does anyone know what the Chinese apps do?? There are only 3 apps that have remained in Chinese but I don't know if I can safely remove them. One seems a clock, one a network traffic meter and one I absolutely don't know.
A last thing: the search button isn't seen as it should but it opens the camera instead. Not a big problem, but do you know if it's possible to change its behaviour?
Thanks a lot for having taken us this ROM, is a very nice addendum for the U8800pro!

GPS on N9005 solution that worked for me!

...hello friends...I am writing this for all of you people that have a problem with GPS signal on your beloved Note 3 N9005...
...when I received my Note 3 for 4G LTE network, I didn't know that I will have any problems with GPS signal...although there is no LTE network in my country yet, there should not be a problem with GPS signal...so I have searched a little bit and found application that was the solution for my problem...
...anyway...let's start...I just want to say "Thanks" to the developers of the application...crypted and Zatta :good:
Please follow link bellow to download application...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198319
I did the following things in order to fix GPS signal...
1) You need to have rooted phone - there are plenty of links on the xda, I done my rooting from this link without any problems... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2466423
2) Download TopNTP 1.0.4 application from the link provided
3) Place the application on your external SD card
4) Before instalation go to /system folder on your internal memory and mount rw for that folder manualy - you can do it by installing for example total commander app from the google market it is free...then go to buttons and create button with internal command, 119 Remount...it will create button that can be used for mounting rw partition...or you can use root explorer...
5) Install TopNTP application
6) Reboot your phone
7) Start application and go with already default settings...click on Install button
8) Save and reboot again
9) Try your GPS now...
10) If this is not working try with settings for your country and put General insetead of Derek Gordon's server, save and again reebot
THAT'S IT FOLKS!!!
There will be stored one backup file of your gps.conf file, don't delete anything...
I hope it will help your device to work as it should...maybe this will help someone...also...there is a full description of application and changelog for older versions...so check it if you want...
Thank you all...Cheers!!! :highfive:

1) Their program is still buggy - both for me and for you (your two files are the same) the program failed to replace /system/etc/gps.conf with their configuration that is somewhere in /data/data/by.zatta.agps/files I have also attached a (slightly modified) file that was there for me.
2) I have manually forced that file over /system/etc/gps.conf (with Total Commander - I think I am a registered user of the PC Total Commander for like 15 years now :good and I am going to test more tomorrow but to be honest the tests so far show that things are definitely not getting better with their TopNTP program on N9005

...Thank you for your gps.conf file... :good: ...you are right, their program is a little buggy...anyhow, I have tried several different things with x-note rom, alexander rom, hawkish, etc... and also with some other apps from apkmania, but the only application that somehow sucessfully managed to catch the gps signal was TopNTP...
...I tested all on my trip to the job, and back to my home...and it is working...I tested it with google maps as well as with Sygic maps...again it is working...I also checked the files you ask from me to post...they are the same...probably software reads configuration from /data/data/by.zatta.agps/files... and maybe app developers will do something to improve their software in near future...in order to save the gps.conf file directly to the /system folder...I hope...because that would be excelent...once again thanx for help and comments... cheers! :highfive:

No, the (otherwise perfectly normal Linux) device driver does not read the configuration from /data/data/by.zatta.agps/files, you are using the same gps.conf as you did before (and just like everybody else you get it from /system/etc) but since there are so many factors involved the placebo effect has completely mixed your findings.
If you want to test the other configuration go on your phone to /data/data/by.zatta.agps/files and copy that one over original gps.conf (Total Commander will tell you about remounting RW) and then reboot. Test it on average at least a week and see if things are clearly different than now.
In my phone it is increasingly clear that there is certainly no improvement.

I have a problem where TopNTP is not writing to my gps.conf.
Even though I'm rooted . . .

Manually editing?
Hi there,
Indeed, TopNTP is'nt changing/editing the file gps.conf in my phone either.
Has anyone tried editing it manually with the lines TopNTP suggests?
Would that be possible at all? Or is there some checksum that won't cooperate?
Regards,

I did edit gps.conf with those lines but it didn't really help with GPS Issue.
I guess I'm missing something.

...hello bro...try this file...it is extracted from TopNTP settings...
...you need to copy original file first on your external sd card, then copy text from this file to gps.conf...reboot your phone...and report me back what is happened...I hope it will work... cheers! :highfive:

I did find the file yesterday and copied it to \etc.
Didn't really help

I solved my problem by tightening the screws in the back of the phone around the gps area (left of camera when looking at the back) they where a little loose ever since then it's worked perfectly

Already tried that. I even opened the back side completely to check for the pins contact.
My phone works perfectly in other countries. It's just here at home that doesn't.
It did work perfectly until I upgraded to KitKat

...update to the old post...
...Hello to all people on xda forum...
...I just want to add one update to my post for all guys that still have problems with GPS and didn't solve the issue...here is a solution...I hope you will hit thanks button
...this is only for those people which have strange problem when gps hardware works, for example you can update your weather on weather widget, but somehow you can't catch any satellites when you want to find your way in the city...then problem is definitely could be fixed...I did it with several N9005 devices and always was successful...
The real credit goes to @SchecterRocker, where he posted how he solved the issue...actually you can follow his post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729322&nocache=1 THANK YOU MAN!!! :good:
First, as optional is to update your modem and bootloader according to your baseband.
Second, retrieve your default gps.conf file. Now you can go with tearing apart your device...just follow instructions that @SchecterRocker posted...or you can follow it here...ADAPTED LITTLE BIT
[[ INSTRUCTIONS ]] (See attached pics for details)
1. Remove the back cover, battery, stylus, SIM, and microSD.
2. Remove the 12 Phillips screws on the back.
3. Carefully remove the inner plastic shell (clipped in).
4. Take your time!!! DO NOT HURRY!!! Gently open around the edges until all edges and clips are loose ( you can use guitar pick ).
5. Observe the leaf pin locations shown below. photo01.jpg
6. This leaf is clearly related to the GPS, because bending it back restored my GPS to perfect functionality. TRUE!
7. Extra Carefully!!!! bend the leaf pin back into position, if you find a dislocated leaf pin. photo02.jpg
8. ALSO CHECK THE REST OF LEAFS!!! Replace the inner plastic shell, making sure to not damage the leaf pins.
9. Replace the 12 screws.
10. Replace the SIM, microSD, stylus, and back cover. START THE MACHINE!!! ...working isn't it???
Cheers!!! :highfive:
THANK YOU @SchecterRocker (hope you won't blame me for using your photos and instructions) AND @xda-developers

I don't mind a bit! Spread the word - it's already helped an estimated 20 people on the AT&T Note 3 boards. Need evidence and more details? Check it out here:
