@scrosler: i very much appreciate your efforts here and will give this a try on my One X. i have a couple of questions (not requests) about the items removed: HTC IME and HTCs Mail App.
- i like HTC's IME because it's the only keyboard (relative to Swype and SwiftKey) that displays a dictated message while speaking. does voice dictation work the same with the ICS keyboard?
- i also like the HTC Mail app because it has threaded messaging and the sent items display the recipient vs. the stock ASOP Email app which doesn't. I looked at the ROM zip file and it appears that HTC's Mail App has been removed...correct? can i assume that you had to remove the HTC Mail App because you removed other Sense components?
Thanks in advance for answering my questions.
1. Are you telling me you can speak into the phone and it will type what you say? No way! Pic or it didn't happen!
But no for real though... Android has a built in dictating keyboard. I never tried it but its there in keyboard settings. Try it and let us know how it works out for you. You can always take the HTC_IME out of my other rom and palce it in this one before flashing. That would restore the HTC Keyb. It is a good keyboard but does not fit the intent of this ROM.
Removed HTC Mail app because I wanted to add as much AOSP to the ROM as I could. Im trying to build an alternative to AOSP / AOKP / CM9 as I feel the development on that will never really happen. So this will be the best we have for now.
Can i keep the HTC IME keyboard? how would i go about doing this? really really like the trace function..
You would need to copy it out of my other ROM and put it in the app folder before installing this one.
Once again, the intent of this ROM is to do away with as much Sense as possible so I will not be supporting the addition of Sense based items sans Lock Screen which is a mod I need to get together and post later on... BUt that will be the only additional Sense add on I make. Maybe the keyboard.
I have long days ahead at work so I can make over time. So I can pay my Early Termination Fee with Verizon. I am about $275.00 away from my goal.... If there was only a way I could make money so I dont have to work over time to pay this bill so I could make these add-ons you all are requesting... Hmmm... (was that subtle enough?)
lol
