Hi,
I saw a demo of the keyboard app on the Sony Ericsson X10 phone and it seems to be pretty nice!
Anyone know if it's possible to extract the app so it can be used in other android devices?
Edit: Added screens
not many of us even have the device yet... so i'm not entirely sure how hard anything will be without root.
secondly i'm not sure this has much to do with android development.. might be better off in the themes and aps section .. being that you are asking about an app?

i have it. xd kinda has many bugs wts
Anyone can extract the input.apk for install with x10?
I am buying a x10 in a non-chinese market and i am afraid that it doesn't come with chinese input..
I bought my phone in Belgium and it has a Japanese keyboard.
the keyboard of the x10 is not good. I'm now using the HTCkeyboard which I have download here on th Xda forum.

I agree, the first thing I did was install the HTC keyboard, I miss the left and right arrows however.

In the forum over at hardwarezone.com.sg they have shown a couple of screens but also talk of problems in how to carry out a screen grab.
I thought Touchwiz could do this using the hardware buttons.
I have a note (got it from somewhere) that says:-
"While using the device, you can capture an image of a screen. While pressing and holding Back, press the Home key. The image will be saved in Gallery."
Thoughts please.
what i would like to know also is the screenshots i seen of the galaxy s and other youtube videos saying it has touchwiz 3.0
but looking at this samsung video the touchwiz 3.0 is different. or maybe it has to do with the wave ...
Id much prefer this interface ...

That's running the Bada OS which is found on the Wave
it's faster than Android and I would have bought the Wave if the 3g bands worked in the Americas but it doesn't offer support for 1900mhz yet, and the number of applications do not match that of Android (I need applications that are not found on Bada yet, can't assume they will also), aaaand since we can't put shortcuts to applications on the homepage :'( like on Android.
Touchwiz is the UI on it and on Android too, it is a bit different for the Wave since it's running Samsung's new OS, Bada OS. I prefer the TouchWiz 3 on the Android since we can use hardware buttons to go back or to open the menu instead of them being on the screen which take up space.
But they are very very similar since it's the nearly the same UI.
Just like this...

Has anyone noticed that swype is not as accurate as it use to be ? The new version sucks . Anyone else have same issues ?

I agree. I wish I could go back to the old one. It was way more predictable.
Ya I know we can't use old one right?

My irritation started when the vibrate on keypress function stopped working.
Then, I realised the stupid Tips window kept opening up every alternate word
And finally, to top it off, its not accurate any more
Edit: Well I sent them an email about it, let's see what they have to say
Yup the beta one was far better. I loved the concept of swyping instead of tapping but the new swype is so bad I'm now using SwiftKey
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Yep. The new SWYPE is definitely a lot worse than the previous betas.
For the record, I agree. It also seems to be less compatible with most fingers than the previous version...

i still have problems with skype due to its expiration on my phone, any idea how to make it work again?
Go to 4shared dot com and write swype and there is a file called swype x10 look for it and install it . Works like charm

This doesn't work for me - installs fine but doesn't appear in input methods list. Install at your own risk as it has access to lots of personal data on the phone.
EDIT: Forgot I needed to enable it in settings. Hooray Swype is back. Shapewriter is just that much more painful in comparison
yup I've also been having problems with swype.... no haptic feedback and predictions are off to
Wrote to them. There reply:
Hi Soumya,
Thanks for writing with your feedback.
Our prediction algorithm has recently undergone some changes, not all of which have worked out write as we had planned. We're actually in the process right now of prepping a new beta release which will hopefully fix these issues, and then we'll begin the process of distributing to our preloaded customers where appropriate. I can't give any kind of ETA for these updates, as it's still a work in progress, but know that it is definitely being worked on.

Hi I am in Canada and i just preordered the xperia play. Just wanted to know what is like the first things i should do when i get it? (im moving from an iphone to this). What are great android apps that i should download and such.
regards,
First android device huh? Well... Custom home screen would be number one, specially coming from iPhone, get something like launcher pro as it's my favorite, very customizable, but it might be a little much at first if you are in culture shock.
Emulators is a big plus and benefit to me if that's your thing. Almost everything on iPhone has it's android alternative except for a couple popular games. Is there a list of your favorite iPhone apps and maybe we can identify the android counterpat
thanks for the quick reply. games arent really my worry as im fine with going around trying new ones. things i wanted to know is if i can disable timescape and other useless addons. does the keyboard work fine or can i install some app to get the swype keyboard or something better? and that app you mentioned sounds cool, will definately try it.
regards

Swype is my favorite keyboard replacement, the stock android one is good, but I heard the one that comes with this might suck a bit maybe? Better keyboard is a skin able keyboard replacement and you can skin it to look/feel like the iPhones.
As far as disabling stuff, you can to a point, but without root access (like jail breaking) you can't touch some of the lower level services. Home replacement is what I think you will want though, get launcher pro or adw launcher. Adw being very themeable. Launcher pro having more polish/settings.
sounds cool. so ill definetly look at swype. how exactly does launder pro work? does it replace everything? (ie timescape)?

It will replace your entire homescreen and everything that's one it - it won't however replace other parts of your system like the Timescape gallery, keyboard or music player. However, all those things are replaceable as well with many alternatives in the market and over here.
Emulators, Emulators, Emulators i say!

Hey guys, i'm going to be purchasing an xperia play (my first android/smart phone whoo!) soon and I've done my fair share of research over this phone and i've gone to the verion store to check it out, and i like it a lot, but there's just one thing that bothers me. What happened to the app drawer? I know it's stock gingerbread therefore it should have the same app drawer that the Nexus S has, but it doesn't seem the same, the reason I say this is because when you scroll up and down through the apps, it doesn't give you that "cube" like effect, what happened?

does that really matter? there is a million launchers on the market that can emulate that cube effect in the app draw, and imo have much better effects too, just download one

Download the Gingerbread launcher, push it to /system/app and delete the default launcher. Problem solved This isnt ios You know
I don't have the Verizon edition so could be COMPLETELY wrong but perhaps it's enable-able in a settings?
Even if not the other comments are right - think of it this way. It's not that it doesn't have the cube effect, it's that you need to install it via the market - Launcher Pro or Gingerbread Launcher should both have it (ADW too maybe?)
If you get that phone you can definitely get the effect your looking for

Sounds more like it would be a property in the Launcher2.apk file. You can extract it and search if you want.

Hi all,
I wanted to ask you wether you want to have the next release ported from Nexus S or from the Galaxy Nexus.
If I use the Galaxy Nexus Rom we'll get the touch buttons on the display, with NS rom we won't have them. Your decision.

You need buttons mod for your rom?

no, I don't need it, I want to have a decision from the users if I should port the gnex rom (then it has buttons included) or the NS rom (then it hasn't onscreen buttons included). But I want to find out, which one the users want to have.

Just out of curiosity, what other differences would there be? I don't know much about rom porting but wouldn't it be more difficult to port from galaxy nexus because of the huge difference in screen resolution?

I don't know anything about porting gingerbread. I have found a very simple tutorial for MIUI V4 porting, and currently I have running the Gnex version on my X10, ported with that way. Only thing I have recognized yet, is that sometimes the systemUI has fc'ed when I pressed the taskmanager button imidietly after the back button But don't know if it comes from the Gnex version on X10, or that happens also on Gnex itself.
P.S: I personally like the onscreenbuttons

Yes, the hardware from NS is more identical to X10's as the Gnex one, but it works anyways. The question was if you want to have onscreenbuttons, not which rom is more suitable for X10
And the deep sleep, J said he'll look into it, but I can't really do anything there. I have to wait for J to fix it.

Make just a nexus s rom with optional the galaxy nexus button flashable zip or make galaxy nexus and make a optionale remove zip some people doesn't like the buttons
Nexus S
The reason is that I don't want any buttons or anything eating up the display of my X10i
Ok guys, I have spent a little bit of my expensive time into a solution which is for everyone the best
I'm uploading right now the new version and make a last test, then you'll see.
