Hacker's Keyboard hardware keyboards support extension

Hello. I tried to extend Hacker's Keyboard for easy hardware (Bluetooth and others) keyboards using and remapping. It is usable on small screen devices too. Beta apk and more is in thread https://xdaforums.com/android/software/app-hackers-keyboard-extension-hardware-t3909027 . M7P
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Tab_Triggerhappy:
I like the keyboard a lot!

On my old Tab with LineageOS 14.1 it doesn't like expanded desktop/immersive mode.

When I longpress like "2" to get the little option popup with 2, @, " the popup ends up outside the screen.

Now, just by chance when I installed Slim 7 ROM instead, I noticed that the keyboard behaved as it should, but Slim 7 doesn't have immersive mode (I can't find setting anyway).

So I installed Immersive Manager from Play Store and that works fine, but again, keyboard misbehaves in immersive mode.

BUT, after blacklisting keyboard app in Immersive Manager, immersive mode is stopped when keyboard is in use and no more misbehaving, but I got immersive mode as soon as I close the keyboard. :)

Thanks to the Dev!

Hey guys, today you've got a chance to join SwiftKeys beta for their updated keyboard. Here's the link

http://phandroid.com/2011/05/20/hop-into-the-swiftkey-vip-program-today-only-get-the-new-beta/

It's been pretty rock solid so far, so give it a shot if you're interested.
[Galaxy S II General] Super Chimp:
I had a GS II but had to get rid of it because it caused me so much hand pain. I should declare that I do have existing problems with my hands but the Arc doesn't really cause me any problems. I think it was a combination of its width and the squareness of the design that did for me. I have tried out the Sensation and though that is only a bit narrower it seemed much easier on my hands, I reckon because it's a more rounded design.

I thought it was a good device but I am not going to keep using a phone that caused me that much constant pain.
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
First one i have come across though as it is larger i did recommend a young lady to hold it before buying .http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
It is a good device, just not for you. If you knew you had problems with your hand you should have spent more time with the phone before you bought it. It's like buying a car you never sat in and complaining about the driving position.
[Galaxy S II General] awesome-member:
how exactly did it cause pain???:confused: how can holding a phone hurt? there are things that are just beyond my comprehension.:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] rocketpaul:
Nope, i have a mans hand.
[Galaxy S II General] valdigre:
For me the phone is too slim and slippery, but silicone cover did the trick and it steadily fits my hand no problem.

I don't have too big hands but no problems with using it.
[Galaxy S II General] Super Chimp:
I did try before buying, obviously not for long enough it seems. This is only the second phone ever that I have had this much problem with the first was the N73.
[Galaxy S II General] B3311:
Pretty big hand, not noticed much difference from the SGS.

Total utter 100% lefty, FWIW.
[Galaxy S II General] pulser_g2:
No issues here, but got large hands...
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Maybe he has some injury or nerve damage so due to the width of the phone his hands hurt because of the shape they make holding the device?

I have no problems with the phone.
[Galaxy S II General] Super Chimp:
So have I. Which makes me think it's more the design than the size. The Arc isn't that much smaller but is narrower and a much better thought out ergonomic design IMO.

By the way I should have said I have a form of nerve issue with both hands.
[Galaxy S II General] MaBlo:
Well it's quite big, so it's hard to use one handed. I have really girlish hands though.
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
I have small hands. I had my plastic surgeon make an incision in my thenar space so I can open up the palm wide enough and hold the phone with one hand. I am now talking to that surgeon about transplanting one of my ears higher on my head.
[Galaxy S II General] cmd512:
LOL, I was wondering when someone would say something along those lines! But, I think the OP has a preexisting condition. I have no issues with the phone.
[Galaxy S II General] rocketpaul:
lol yh it had to be done.:cool:
[Galaxy S II General] MaBlo:
Hehe I'm not saying that there's something wrong with the phone, but I can't reach the top left side of the screen one handed and barely reach the middle left side. That being said I wouldn't change that beautiful big screen for anything, so I can live with.
[Galaxy S II General] Scottland:
It's a fraction too wide for me, but I can live with it just. I've suffered from a bit of RSI in the past so I can imagine how it might hurt if you have similar issues (carpal tunnel etc).

The SE Arc next to this feels much nicer in the hand as it's about 5-8mm narrower - yet still sports a 4.2" display. Maybe that would suit better.
[Galaxy S II General] Little Dragon:
what if you bought it online like what i'm planning to do?

i remember using my buddy's iphone 2g back in the day and that was an uncomfortable phone. it didn't hurt but it did feel real annoying after a bit because the phone wasn't shaped perfectly. same idea
[Galaxy S II General] intruda119:

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] YOSEFE:
Hello flyer users,

This afternoon I managed to get my flyer stuck on the "Red Triangle" with "Exclamation Mark" as I was playing with "adb".

Now to get out of the dreaded screen, you do not need to remove the battery as we do with other devices - especially because, as I have been told, you CANNOT remove it.

What you need to do to leave the red triangle screen is the following:

1. Press Volume up (the "+" sign on the side) and the Power Button.

2. Select "Reboot system now"

That is it, that is you done, and your flyer reboots as normal.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kaze00:
Here's another tip...

I keep activating the keyboard in the notes app or hitting one of the capacitive buttons because my hand always goes down before the stylus.

I found that by putting the thumb of my offhand somewhere on the screen in a non activating area, it stops my hand from triggering the capacitive buttons and the screen. Much easier to start writing. and I don't have to worry about stuff activating if I lift the pen too high either.

-Mike
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kcchen:
Good tip. I have the same problem with the capacitive buttons in Notes.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jwiskowski:
Random launcher reboots?

Several times today, my Flyer would go to a white screen that shows the HTC logo and restart what I belive is called the launcher. All my widgets would read "loading" and reload.

Anyone else seeing this?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Stuke00:
Yeah I got this a few times. Usually it is due to low memory and the android OS clearing the launcher from memory... but this thing has 1GB of ram...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jwiskowski:
I read that perhaps not having the Task Manager auto-load on startup might help, as Android versions like Gingerbread don't really need a Task Manager.

I might try running without it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kaze00:
But upon start up theres only about 150 megs free.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kaze00:
Useless tip,

If you do a long and fast swipe across the home screen, it spins through more than 1 screen. I never noticed this before today
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] YOSEFE:
Here is another saver.

The FriendStream widget for some unknown reason would not show all the usual text in twitter and facebook posts.

I tried to recover or repopulate it by rebooting the device, tried re-sync, nothing was doing.

SOLUTION was deleting the widget, and then putting it back on its homescreen, and everything was back.

I had feared I lost my twitter and facebook messages.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] westleydan:
I've been meaning to ask for a while but what's the difference between the governors, such as ondemand smartass etc...? Thanks. Dan.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
Because they don't work well. When you need CPU power they tend to lag and it takes that little extra longer which does my head in. Whether it's just me I don't know but it is so annoying. I have noticed it when playing games like RoboDefence. That's why I stick to ondemand because it actually works.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lawrrtan:
for the sleep off what is the best setting? screen off 245 max 245 min on demand? or 245 max 128min smart ass?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
With smartass you do not have to set a profile for screen off. Smartass uses automatically the min cpu-frequency you set. So if you set smartass for screen off, you have two "screen off"-profiles. I think that could cause problems. You should set the screen-off-profile on 128-442@ondemand to avoid waking up problems, which can occur with this min 128 and max 245 for screen off-profile.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] torqtech:
+1 Agree totally

Ondemand is the only governor which doesnt make my phone lag.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] DarkKnight62:
ok, i got my optimus t back from lg a couple days ago after i bricked it and right when i turned it on it was having problems. it turns on, loads and all that good stuff but once the screen goes to sleep i try to awake it and only the buttons light up and the lcd stays off until i do a battery pull. plugging the phone into my charger, putting the battery back inside and turning it on lets the phone start as usual but once the lcd goes to sleep it never comes back on again.

what should i do? i think i only did one factory reset so far and i have reflashed it to the stock firmware to see what that would do but it hasn't fixed anything. should i do another factory reset AND reformat the sd card since i only did a factory reset the first time? i'm hoping someone has seen this before and can help me with fixing the problem.

this happens to the phone regardless of whether the phone is rooted or unrooted.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shhbz:
it seems to be a harware issue just flash stock and give it back to lg and ask for a service or swap for a new phone stating its not functioning properly :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DarkKnight62:
i had the phone a couple weeks before i bricked it and i never had these problems with the hardware. after i posted the original post i was able to somehow get my phone in emergency mode. actually, the first thing i did was remove my sd card and reformat it on my computer (backed up everything on dropbox and my computer). i tried to flash my phone and the problem showed up when the screen turned off during the flash. i spent a couple minutes getting it back into emergency mode and was able to get it flashed to the stock ROM without it getting stuck. then i did a factory reset and the problem is still occurring. i'm thinking about updating to 2.2.2 if i can actually get back into the OS one more time and then see what happens. if i can't do either then i'm going to have to call LG again and hopefully they will hook me up with a replacement or repair it somehow.

thank god i bought a new nexus one yesterday ($260) so that should be here monday or tuesday to hopefully tide me over until the nexus 3 so the optimus will become my backup.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
Now I think you dont have root :) Anyway if you do read further.

I guess you didnt understand me there. So do this. Install titanium backup (its an app on the market) Then run the app. In the app search for voice search, click on it in and choose freeze and reboot. Then try to click the mic in swype.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HarpingOn:
Ah. I had root, and TiBu, but I haven't re-rooted since gingerbread. It's more complicated than super one click!

Why can't I take pictures in 16:9 when I have the resolution set at 3264:2448?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armanisafarai:
hmm...anyone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kohiiou:
The reason why you can't get 16:9 ratio is because 3264:2448 is 4:3 ratio.

(Try dividing by the GCM = 816 and you'll get 4:3)

:p

Aspect ratio is the ratio of the horizontal pixels to the vertical pixels; this means the aspect ratio is directly related, and it's not possible to change the aspect ratio without changing the total horizontal to vertical pixel count.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armanisafarai:
But I can change to 16:9 ratio with my brothers desire hd in 3264:2448 resolution.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yufina:
Maybe you should read these:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_resolution

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspect_ratio_(image)

And it is 5:3 (or 15:9) instead of 16:9 :) EDIT: 16:9 would be little wider. But becaus Samsung have 800x480 resolution, 5:3 will be max that you can go.

8M: 3264/2448=1.3333 = 4:3 (aspect ratio)

W6.5M: 3264/1968 = 1.65853659 ~1.66 (15:9 = 5:3)

And because samsung have 800x480 resolution wich means: 800/480 = 1.66666667 = 15:9 = 5:3

So W6.5M means that you now use full screen.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armanisafarai:
just to be clear, the W6.5M and 8M doesn't stand for megapixels, right?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yufina:
Nope. Those are megapixels. As you can see:

3264*2448 = 7 990 272 ~8Megapixels

3264*1968 = 6 423 552 ~6.5Megapixel

Also more Megapixels dosen't always mean better camera or image ;)

EDIT: Also I think that W means "Wide" so you can be sure that those will use 5:3 aspect ratio (or just full screen) instead of 4:3.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armanisafarai:
ah ok, thanks :D I'm gonna use W6.5M as i cant stand 4:3, I just hope that there wont be much difference between the 6.5 and 8 megapixels.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yufina:
I also hate 4:3, because it's sound as old-fashoned as it is :D . And today everything are so wide. But as for 6.5M, I think that max print size will be ~11 x 6.5″, so i think it will be enought (at least for me).

EDIT: if you want 300dpi print :D

Just divine by dpi:

3264/300= 10.88 inches

1968/300= 6.56 inches

How can I get this working on my MN 1.2 rooted nook
[General Questions and Answers] lrn2postnubs:
Can't find a confirmed answer for this. I previously rooted my US Cellular Desire under 2.1 using Unrevoked, S-OFF was set. I then flashed to 2.2 stock ROM and got the 1.06 hboot which of course can't currently be rooted. Although I have read that people that rooted prior to updating to the 1.06 hboot were still able to re-root. The clarification I am seeking is, once S-OFF has been set, is it still set after the upgrade? Or does the 2.2 rom flash revert this back to S-ON? If people are able to re-root, I would assume that means the rom flash leaves it to S-OFF and therefore Unrevoked should be able to re-root the phone. Is that assumption correct

Hi guys

Im finding it a bit of a pain that theres no LED light on an otherwise awesome phone. If my phone is in another room or on silent I have to keep picking it up and unlocking the screen to see if Ive missed any calls or texts.

What I propose is an app that will make the phone beep and or vibrate at a certain timed interval whenever you have missed calls or texts.

My mum's old Motorolla RAZR does this (lol) so I dont see why this option hasnt been included on the SII.

I cant find any mention of an existing app that does this, but if there is one, please accept my apologies and point me in the right direction.

I was running CM7 7.02 from emmc with Dalingrin's 4/24/11 OC kernel, and was very happy with it. However, I got distracted by shiney... Rom manager gave me a pop up saying 7.03 was available, which it hadn't done in the past, so I figured, why not give it a shot?

I ran a full backup, installed the update, booted... and all my apps were gone. It was a fresh install instead of an install over my existing 7.02 like I would have gotten if I just booted from my CWM boot SD card and flashed. Well, crappy, but I have my backup, right? Still, might as well try the OC kernel and see how it runs real quick... oh, won't boot after the OC kernel. huh.

So I boot to recovery, and clear cache, and restore my backup.

Everything looks perfect. Back to my customized layouts... wait, where is my Honeycomb style bottom status bar? I'm back to the default look/feel. Ok, I can fix that... wait, why isn't my N button working? I've gone into ADW settings, selected several options for the "home button" functionality, rebooted, nothing works. I've got everything except a working N button. Why?

The only time it has worked is ONCE right after I installed a second home launcher, flashed 7.02 over 7.02, rebooted, and hit the button. It popped up and asked me which of the two launchers I wanted as default. After that, it hasn't responded.

Anyone have any idea what I did or what I can do to fix this? I'm fine if I have to format and start from scratch, I just would rather not since I'm stuck in an airport and waiting on a flight home, so I'd rather be reading/watching movies/playing music instead of tinkering... if it's something simple to fix, ya know?
