Does anyone else feel that Swype works MUCH better in GB? - Epic 4G General

It could be my imagination, but it seems LIGHTYEARS more accurate, and smoother than it was in Froyo??

Accuracy might because it's a fresh install and it hasn't had a chance to add nonsense to it's dictionary. My problem with the old Swype was over time the accuracy went to crap unless you cleared data every once in a while. I've tried just about every keyboard and FlexT9 has been the best for me. Swiftkey was ok until I tried and used the hardware keyboard and it forced it's prediction/correction system on it, which was awful for me and no way of turning it off.

GB Update for Epic

Spoke to Reston, VA today. They claim they are still working on the official GB update to the Epic with Samsung. They don't want to have any problems like they had with the Froyo update (according to them- there was a "lag" issue with the rotation on 2.2 OTA update). No date planned as of yet. Please stand by...
As long as its working right when it comes out. Thanks.

if only we could get em to release the source (with EVERYTHING needed) and let the community fix it for them, since we all know it would happen 10x faster than they are getting things done. Oh well, keep dreaming right?
Samsung should just give up and let the Epic community work on GB. Give them the source code and I bet they will have a fully functional build of GB within a month.

I'm going to throw this out there.

I've been running EL30 all day and just realized how smooth the scroll is and of amazing the multitasking is. Went is it that stock roms do multitasking so much better than custom roms? Everyone should go stock for at least one day to see what I mean. Again.. Just throwing it out there.
I've been running stock EL30 since we got the google link. I'm liking it so far. Just need the keyboard lag fix. I think they did fix the GPS though, it goes fast in google maps and its accurate. And I like the none iOS touchwiz.

They changed a couple of the icons and removed the colored squares from the icons when you are in the app drawer.
The keyboard skips 70% less than EI22 but it is still there.

It really is much better, but it dropped one of the e's in "needed". I hadn't noticed the background thing because I use ADW EX with a theme. It seems fine stock, but I'd love to underclock again so I might just root for that.

Yes, I noticed battery life is great! Also, I think the smoothness is coming from the rom being odexed originally from sprint. We must all remember that the odex codes are optimized for our devices. That's why deodexed roms are never as smooth. Might be slight quicker but awful multitasking. But personaly, ive never seen a performance boost from going deodex.

De-odexing isn't supposed to give ya performance boost, it allows you to theme your phone.
BEER!
Yup, but alot of members here state that the roms under deodex run snappier. In which I disagree.
Just buggin out, me an my eye balls.
Check out the thread in the development section entitled "[tweak][CM7] odex cyanogenmod 7.2 flashable zip" by zman for more info on the subject
edit: also, listening to certain people on this forum can provide bad advice, on occasion always research, for your own (phone) safety

It looked nice and all but I just wanted to know what is cm7 actually based off of..? Just gingerbread..?
And does anyone know if cm9 willl have all the cm7 settings..? like the ones that literally controlled every tiny thing in the phone? And gave headphones button options and other hardware button options for when playing music? Cuz that was the bestt feature to me lol I loved pausing and changing my music from my headphones instead of having to unlock my phone and change the song or pause it lol
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
CM7 is based off AOSP Gingerbread 2.3.7
CM9 is ICS 4.0.3
And yes there will be lots of options in CM9 as it nears a release candidate.

It is often a minor setting adjustment. If set too quickly the sensor drains the battery, if set too low..noticeable lag. Don't sweat the small stuff.

He also just gave us a flashable temp BML CWM for CM7 and MTD to allow us to flash the modem deltas...that is awesome in itself.
Wow! I never thought I would see ICS on this phone because of the internal memory limitation. I'm very impressed. Thanks to all of the devs.

Rotation lag is different for each physical phone. The dev phone in the video seems to be less sensitive than my production Epic.

The Best EL30 Custom Rom

CM9, wasn't for me, so I'm currently using CM7-which I love. BUT, the nightlies still haven't fixed the volume whenever you make outgoing calls and I don't like the Camera/video recorder. Since those two things haven't been fixed (And its driving me crazy) I was wondering what you guys think is a very good EL30 Rom? I'm thinking about switching to one but I don't want to sacrifice battery life and how snappy CM7 is. Just interested in seeing what you guys recommend that I should try.
There is only like 3. Just try them all and see what is best for YOU. Each phone and user is different.

You know its not like this is the evo where there's like 200 different sense 3.0 or 2.1 or 1.0+3.0 or 2.1+3.0 we just have TouchWiz Cyanogenmod and Miui not a lot to choose from

Im still trying to figure out what else I can do to my epic...i got cm9 alpha 4 on it....but besides that idk where else to go..
Before I switched over to CM9, I was on Clean GB. Before that, it was SleeperROM, but I remember finding something that I didn't like too much. I'm not putting it down or anything. Its just that one of my apps wasn't working or the camera. I forgot exactly what it was, but they're both good. I can't say about the other one. I liked Clean GB a lot. Give it a try.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
tried CM7, tried MIUI (had to add a launcher becuase it was driving me crazy without one...lol) and tried CleanGB...
all very nice and unique in their own ways...
in the end, went back to Legendary Rom v2.2, after converting it from BML to MTD format....
the creators have made the install of all the roms idiot proof, it's fun to just backup/wipe as many times as you want and try them all out
SleeperRom or CleanGB are both great Roms.
And Marcusant's v4 will be out soon too. It is in beta now.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I'm using cleangb and really like it. But I noticed that even stock el30 will do just we fine. No more ciq so its a good rom really. Bonus is, everything works.
Thanks for all of the replies! I'm trying CleanGB and the battery life is....ok. I guess I got spoiled with CM7 battery. I'm just glad everything works....Will give Marcusant's new one a try once released. May even try SleeperRom. Anybody on Thunderhawk right now?

Soombody on GB please answer my question!

GB is still faster than ICS (in my opinion)
So I prefer IT than any ICS (yes even precious Passion, ICSZen, CM9 (hurts me to say))
But I am really tired of HD videorecording stuttering!!!
This happens in MIUI and CM7 I don't know what to do!
Does it work for you?
Test it out it would only take a minute of your time!
