Droid X Apps: Let's Port em'

[Honestly77]

Ok so looking through this dump I have I see things like Swype...which I would love ported to the dinc and even the nexus. it looks really nice. the dock would also be cool...I know we don't have one but ya. It's all already 2.1 based so I think it might be as simple as some lines of code. I am not a app dev or any kind of dev so I am clueless but I am asking for help.


Below is the Swype.apk which will probably be the best thing to port.

FYI: Swype installs but gives up some nice FC's

I'll look threw it all and see if anything else stands out. Some of the icons are nice and so is some of the framework. Maybe work on a little resizing...that I know how to do

Trying something.

Edit: So it worked, u gotta put the lib from /system/lib into the apk or i assume /system/lib of ur phone.

it stopped force-closing n is working. Gonna try out some more before uploading.

 

[Daneshm90]

Btw this swype is 1.55.29.7532 isnt tht kinda old ? whts the point ? Current versions floating around on the forum are 1.56.30.7625

Im ditching this no point.

 

[gbenj]

one thing that might be worthwhile is the microphone icon included in this version. So we can do voice to text right from the keyboard...

Is there definitely a mic key on the Droid X swype keyboard?

If so, we need that!

Im pretty sure that's it. Its not an older version i think its a different one all together.

Check out the Engaget video in Honestly77's link above at about 3:28. The Swype keyboard clearly has the microphone button in the lower right corner. Let's get this working!

Here is a pic.

Wow, yes, we must get this ported over. I know you guys can do this!

 

[SiL3nTKiLL]

i hope some1 can port these apps!

 

[Daneshm90]

Hmmm. k then ill port it tomoro. ill keep u guys posted

 

[Honestly77]

There are some other apps like the Blockbuster app and also it comes with these apps called Arc Video Editor Lite and Arc Photo Workshop. They sound cool...and also maybe some browser differences...dunno. And how hard is porting the live wallpapers? The droid eye looks legit.

+1 for arc video editor lite and arc photo workshop!!! I installed arc video it installed but I dont see anything im on the htc evo

 

[Daneshm90]

Ok heres wht i have so far. Voice is working. its running in limited functionality, but thts been fixed before so can be done. Still lots of layout issues.

K bad news. Seems it was a fluke, it was unusable in the sense due to layout issues. Im afraid the .so controls whether you see the mic icon or not and that is compiled hence cannot be edited

 

[Honestly77]

Lame...do you think you'd have similar layout issues with other apps? I am assuming because everything is based to run within blur and on a 4.3 screen that porting things to sense is gonna be a ***** correct?

 

[Troy89]

Any chance touchwiz could also be ported? I'm not a developer just thought I ask while you were looking at the issue thank you

 

[Honestly77]

Touchwiz can't be ported from a moto rom...and I don't even know why you would want to put touchwiz on it. Even Samsung should just use vanilla. Touchwiz Android is a huge failure.

 

[Troy89]

Sorry I ment from the Samsung galaxy s ROM. I think its already been posted on the nexus one part of the forums in development, unfortunately it was ported for 2.2 if not I can post tomorrow. Any help would be appreciated, thanks. Just in case I got it wrong I mean the Samsung galaxy s launcher.

 

[KB Smoka]

Did I hear the Droid X is coming with some kind of DLNA app? Is that only to stream from the phone or to the phone? If it's to the phone that would be an awesome app to port over....

 

[Honestly77]

Im not sure if we have the drivers for DNLA...they'd probably need to be re-written to be compatible with our phone. Also it could be hardware dependent meaning if we dont have the proper hardware it will never happen.
