ARCHIVED: [ROM] Reborn ROM v2.2.4 - 7/24/11

If there are any menial tasks that I could do to help lemme know. I loved ReBorn for the 2.2 and would be willing to help out with any simple/tedious crap.
Any chance of switching to GO Launcher EX in the next version? I love the simplicity of the ported LG Home, but when only the "Settings" option when pressing Menu has any use, it seems a bit less than featured to me. GO might take up a bit more space, but it is free and seems worth it. Also, maybe the GB keyboard? I really like the text select features of that one. Besides, Swype is fun and all, as long as you don't have a vocabulary with words greater than 5 letters.
In reference to the official Gingerbread update just released (I couldn't tell if you were referring to a new Reborn ROM based off the Gingerbread or froyo source...): The official 2.3.3 Gingerbread keyboard is not that great. It has no dictionary. Literally, the only suggestions are for your contacts and if you want a dictionary, you will need to tediously add words on your own...
To be sure, I was referring to new Reborn based on the new GB update. I have not yet moved that way because the current Reborn 2.2.4 is way more stable and has a better satisfaction rate. I have modified it a bit and still feel it is the best option for this device at present, although I look forward to future ROM's based on the official GB package.
My experience with the GB keyboard comes from a combination of sROM and Drew's CM7 (both Froyo-driven), where it worked splendidly, including proper word suggestion and text select. I am hoping that a native build from the GB stock will provide the same functionality. I ask this because Froyo Reborn does not include a stock keyboard. But if it doesn't work, it doesn't work.
I really missed the auto-correct of an Android keyboard until I installed "Steven Lin's Keyboard from Android 2.3". It's a great GB-style keyboard. Only thing I wish it had (since I'm still on Reborn and Froyo doesn't do text-selection as well as GB does) is the option to use the volume buttons to move cursor the way the option is implemented in the HTC_IME mod keyboard (v27) by jonasl@xda.
Yeah the new GB keyboard will be a big disappoint if you are expecting something like the one's included in the ROMs. BTW, Drew's CM7 is pure GB, not froyo...
oh wow, I honestly didn't know there was a new update till I was l lurking this thread. has anyone else not had anything pop up on their phone about it? and I'll keep this in mind if/when I get that notification! thank you!
The update hasn't been pushed to my phone but if I'm not mistaken, you do not want to accept it. It can brick your phone.
I was on ReBorn and it showed as available but didn't install or download to mine until I did it manually so that I could root after.
I really like the Swype beta, but I've noticed it drains my battery. Whenever I notice my battery draining faster than usual, I check Android Assistant and it says that Swype is using 15-20% of the battery, while all the other apps are below 3%. Do you get any battery drain with the beta version? Anyone have any ideas how to fix it?
And just a comparison, I've been trying other keyboards, SlideIt, SwiftKey X, and the stock Reborn keyboard, and none of them use more than 2% battery. Thanks for the help!
dude my swype is using 0.79% , not sure why yours is usin 15-20% of it...i have no drain at all, launcher pro is using most of my battery at 3.44%
Apparently, LG/Sprint has stopped releasing the ZVH update. There were reportedly quite a few issues:
Difficulty or inability to charge phone
Sporadic access to memory card
Phone not recognized through USB
General device slowness
Nick, does this mean ZVH development will/should be halted until they iron out their issues?
I am getting this information from my work's phone rep, who is getting it from Sprint.
