[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] pfn:
So, I ordered one of these directly, and stupidly from Logitech and it just arrived yesterday. Stupidly because it has been in stock at Fry's for some time now... (The actual Android version, not iPad one).

Now that the keyboard is in my hot little hands, it is awesome, just pure pure awesome.

I did a couple typing tests on typingtest.com and scored 101wpm without errors (usual typing speed is 110-120wpm on a full-sized ergo keyboard); it could probably be better once I get used to it. (TypingTest.com itself is a pita, because the browser keeps trying to steal focus away from the flash typing test; I found a javascript one that I also scored 101wpm on) Although the UI lagged when typing that quickly. A negative of the keyboard: it might feel a bit too light when typing, but it is completely functional.

So... onto using it in applications... in connectbot none of the necessary keys worked at all, no esc, no tab, no ctrl nor alt. I couldn't stand that, so I wrote up a patch this morning to fix0rs it. I have a pull request open and hopefully it'll be integrated soon. The patch works generically across all keyboards that are compliant to the Android 3.0+ specs. The transformer dock kinda gets gypped here because their keylayout is so stupid (no esc, alt on right, etc).

Speaking of keylayout... that's where my next nits lie, most of the keys are pretty great, they're in the correct location. With a couple exceptions: 1) caps lock is left of a, and ctrl is in the bottom left; 2) the alt and search keys are swapped in position, alt should be adjacent to the space bar, and the search key, like the windows key, should be left of alt; 3) there's no recent apps/task switching button, there is a menu button, but I'll rarely use that.

Given those problems, I hacked up a new keyboard layout that: 1) swaps ctrl and caps lock (but the LED works a litte funky, ok otherwise); 2) swaps the search and alt positions; 3) puts the recentapps action on the menu key.

To install the keyboard layout, do the following:

1) have root on your device

2) unzip LogitechAndroiKeyboard.zip

3) adb push LogitechAndroidKeyboard.kl /sdcard/

4) adb shell

* $ su

* $ mount -o remount,rw /system

* $ cd /system/usr/keylayout

* $ cat /sdcard/LogitechAndroidKeyboard.kl > Vendor_046d_Product_b30a.kl

* $ mount -o remount,ro /system

* $ exit

* $ exit

5) Connect your keyboard and enjoy the new keylayout as described above.

This keylayout can be reverted at any time by removing Vendor_046d_Product_b30a.kl and reconnecting; this is a new file that will be created by following the above steps.

definitely something i will do when my keyboard arrives!

Did you also swap the keys physically? If so, was it hard to do?

Do you think it is possible to somehow to add other letters, like ÆØÅ, instead of hotkeys or any other keys I would find unnecessary? I'm really struggling to find a

proper

BT keyboard with Scandinavian/ Nordic layout.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] pfn:
No, I did not swap the keys physically--I only updated the keyboard layout to work as I wanted.

If you want to change the character mapping like you say, it will probably take a combination of the .kl file I included and editing /system/usr/keychars/Vendor_....same_as_I_said.kcm

I only need a US layout, so I didn't need to tweak any of that.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] rainby:
Cool. SERIOUSLY checking the keyboard now..thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] Mr3G:
Sorry to ask this, but will this prevent the native keyboard from popping up when you start to type with a bluetooth keyboard?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] pfn:
No. It doesn't
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] Mr3G:
Thanks, its tough when the native keyboard takes up the whole screen.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] mesasone:
You might consider submitting a bug report(or feature request) to Google to have this fixed in a future version of Android. Probably won't make it into 3.2, but we can hold out hope for implementation in Ice Cream Sandwich. This behavior should at least be configurable.

Thanks for the review of this keyboard. I'm wanting to see how the Samsung Keyboard case turns out (and if it becomes available for a reasonable price from a third party), otherwise I might consider this Logitech keyboard. The bonus for this keyboard is that it would be useful with more than just my tab - on my HTPC for example, which has built in Bluetooth.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] ccapasso:
Question for you regarding the menu button: Did it work for you?

I have this keyboard and when I press my menu key I was hoping it would bring up the app drawer or something. It does nothing.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] Akerfeldt:
A similar samsung keyboard for the 10.1 tablet:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] pfn:
The menu button serves the same function as the menu button on an android phone--for most honeycomb apps, it'll do nothing (same as in the launcher, nothing) since the menu button doesn't invoke the actionbar. Only pre-honeycomb apps with a menu are activated by the menu button

On my tab, I have MENU set to pop up the recent apps list.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] ccapasso:
Can you tell me how to remap the buttons? I want to remap my menu key to do something. Also, the "Calendar shortcut" on the keyboard doesn't launch anything either and I'd like to remap it too.

***Edit***

I see I can open the .kl file in Notepad++ and it shows what the layout is. However, I'm not familiar with the key layout (which number corresponds with which key) nor am I familiar with which command to put to have the menu do something. I assume there is a list I could reference?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] rainby:
wow ....anymore info about this ....?

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] pfn:
The .kl file is somewhat self-documenting; simply: look at the key you want to change, in this case, the one that says MENU, and replace it with the action that you want it to do. Look through the .kl files (and any others) and see what actions sound interesting, put that name in there instead of MENU and you're good to go.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] ccapasso:
Ok, I'll take another look. I did some searching yesterday and there are a variety of .kl files in the folder on my Tab. Any idea which one in particular to edit?

I'm having an issue with the Home button. My soft keys light up, suggesting that signals are being passed, but the app drawer doesn't open...

Grr!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] w4rmk:
I bought one of the Logitech Android keyboards from Best Buy last week and ended up returning it. I thought it was too big and heavy to carry around much. I have a Stowaway bluetooth keyboard thats works great with Android so I'll be sticking with that, much easier to tote with me.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] pfn:
The home button is not for opening up the app drawer. It does the same thing as the home soft button...

sweet keyboard

http://imgur.com/a/CPOnY

just wanted to chime in on this keyboard.

its pretty great. i use it for school when i need to take notes.

my only gripe about it is that it weights as much as the tab. :confused:

Also, if you use a case that can stand the tab up, such as pyro's or what have you then the extra carrier case that they keyboard comes with cannot be fully utilized. I rate the thing 4-out-5.

there is a new keyboard case thats out (ithink) but its 99 bux, i mean if money is no object get it I think its pretty sweet also.

u can get this keyboard for 30 bux online from Logitech. All you need is a logitech coupon that will give you 50% off.:cool:
[Captivate Themes and Apps] xxhorseriderxxx:
can anyone please upload their Visual Voicemail app for AT&T? I bought a Galaxy S2 and cannot seem to find the default visual voicemail app in the marketplace (probably because my phone is from Europe and is not recognized by the american marketplace)

thanks in advance =]

---------

In a related note: I went to my local AT&T store to see if they could get it working for me, but they supposedly said that google removed visual voicemail apps from the marketplace. WTF?:confused:
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Dave the Knave:
Doesn't belong in the dev section.

As for an answer, I've never had Visual Voicemail on my phone. I thought that was iPhone exclusive.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] nybmx:
I've never had visual voicemail from at&t either. I do however use google voice for my voicemail and I like that a lot better than the iphones visual voice as it transcribes the message too.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Leo2005:

Have you tried google it first?

Visual Voicemail is currently available for BlackBerry® Bold™ smartphone users*.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] axis01:
As has been mentioned, it isn't available for Droid. There are alternate options.

Also as has been mentioned, this IS NOT A DEV concern. This is the very reason they put a minimum post count cap on posting in the DEV section. Apparently they must have gone back and changed it. :(
[Captivate Themes and Apps] joeybear23:
Send this to General...

And download Google Voice. It is vastly superior to that dinosaur VVM...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] xxhorseriderxxx:
I posted this in the dev section because I was planning on porting the app over to the SGS2

anyway, I remember seeïng the visual voicemail app a long time ago on some Tmobile devices; I'm new, i thought it was still around
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Futang44:
I use Youmail. Its great!!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] 305Freak:
YouMail

Try YouMail. It works great.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] MikeyMike01:
Google Voice.

You can use your current phone number and have visual voicemail.

Go to google.com/voice on your computer to set it up, then get the app.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cking122:
So I think I have a bit of a problem. I am rooted but stayed pretty stock. I only froze a few apps and such but I have no custom ROMs or anything. Well today I turned off my phone as it was glitching out (I use a number password and it zoomed in and I couldn't see the numbers to enter my passcode). When she turned back on I went straight to the home screen, no passcode and my home button doesn't work. I have no lock screen (when I hit my powerbutton I go straight to my home screen) All my settings were reset and such. I defrosted all my frozen apps and am ready to unroot and update (currently on ED01) as I think that is the only way to fix it. I would like to unroot to ED01 but the guide here only takes me to flash DL09. I don't want to have to then download ED01 again then ED04. That seems too much. I would like to know if you either know how to fix it so my home button, passcode and such word again or the best way to unroot. Whatever happens I will probably reroot but I would like to know what to do.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schu9120:
The DL09 route is not that difficult or time consuming but you will lose all data on your phone (not your sd card) . If I understand you correctly, you may want to just backup your apps and other data with mybackup or titanium backup then dl09, then update over the air to ed04 then start over the rooting process that you used before.

Or look into landsharks odin thread... http://forum.androidcentral.com/ver...ed-custom-roms-w-root-updated-06-12-11-a.html

I highly recommend community rom.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schu9120:
Or you could just wait for someone else that might have an even easier fix. Good luck :-)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cking122:
Do you have a link for where I could get ODIN?

Or does anyone else know a better way to fix it without losing all my data?

I am not that worried about Apps as I am sure I can find them all again, it would suck to lose my island in paradise island though!

Since I didn't install a custom ROM is there an easier way to unroot or will that not fix my problems? I just really would like my home button to work again and have a lock screen back.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Falcyn:
I'm curious, do you still have the problem if you boot into safe mode? If you don't know how to do that, just power down your phone, turn it back on, and press and hold the Menu button as soon as you see the Verizon splash screen. Once it boots up, you should see the text "Safe Mode" in the lower left corner of your screen.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cking122:
I never tried safe mode. However, I did reset it by going back to DL09 and updating.

I want to root again, but if the gingerbread update comes out soon how do I unroot without having to go back to DL09, if I stay on the stock ROM so that I can get the update to 2.3 when it finally comes.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schu9120:
Don't hold your breath for official gingerbread from vzw. From what I have read, the official GB ota update is most likely a long way off. Our fascinate dev community (TSM) is hard at work creating a stable custom rom from a recent GB leak that might be released soonish.

I would again recommend running a custom rom like community rom (kangbang) don't let voodoo scare you away, just read up on as much as you can. Look at http://forum.androidcentral.com/verizon-fascinate-rooting-roms-hacks/

Android central has some forums that are a little more noob friendly that got me hooked on messing with my phone :-)

As far as an easy way to unroot look through the link above.

I hope this helps in some way
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schu9120:
The link I use most is (from above post) [How To][Links] Themes, ROMs, Kernels, Boot Animations

Jaekar keeps the page up to date with the newest roms, kernals, and themes. Plus he makes b.a. bootanimations.

It all depends on how deep in the rabbit hole that you want to go.

Worse case scenario, there is always odin :-)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cking122:
Thank you very much. I guess rooting will commence soon then!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lord dredd:
If you prefer stock , rooted, debloated, debinged, deodexed, ed01 which is very snappy as well then you may try what Dear dnoyeb had suggested to me ,

i can say its very good.

my 2 cents

all the best
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwitherell:
I agree - with both the suggested custom ROM and the opinion on Android Central. After reading up on things, if ComRom ends up being the way you decide to go check out this thread on Android Central for an overly detailed (and therefore hopefully noob-friendly) guide on how you can obtain it.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Krad:
Here is my first attempt at a custom rom.

Special thanks to...

-Jhotman (for many reasons)

-Spidia (assisting with creating the flashable zip)

Info -

Dell Streak 2.2.2 build 354

- Bloatware removed

- default wallpaper changed

- ADW as default and only launcher

- network and wifi tweaks

- zipaligned

- deoxide

- modified framework-res.apk based on older GingerKrad themes

- sd card read set from 128-> 2048

- new cleaner font

- fly in effects

- Stock apps are not updated

- Has Sense Live wallpaper

Bugs -

Calculator - Minus key is actually a Square due to custom font.

SuperUser - Is broken, you need to re-run gingerbreak 1.2 to re-root (if someone knows how to fix this please let me know.. thanks)

Background -

This is my base rom I will be working on for RealRed. This rom will be updated with newer builds when they come out.

This a super striped, tweaked rom on the settings that I have found to be the best for me. This is a rom you could easily build on and tweak via, new scripts, launchers, etc... I called it PlayDoh because it can be molded to what you want!

Download!

CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD

Install Directions

1. Make a nandroid backup

1a. Make a nandroid backup

So far what I can tell from testing this, is that the 2D &3D is a definite inprovement. Since people will ask, I have been getting about 900 average on quadrant. It does appear to be quicker in some aspects, and more testing will have to be done to be sure. Upon initial boots, it does take a long time to boot, but after 3rd reboot it started to boot up faster.

Kudos to krad for the development. Keep up the good work.
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
Not to belittle your work, but how different are playdoh and realred from eachother?

If they're only different from themes would it be easier to maintain if they were simply 1 rom with 2 themes included?

You could use the installer streakdroid does and have a install.txt

You could even include the install.txts along with the post. If they can download a rom they can download the txt too

Dawg,

The ROM is working perfectly fine, apart from the bugs already mentioned by the Chef, however initially it seems to be a good firm base to start on for his real red theme..I found some Chinese characters while i connected the phone to the computer via usb, once you drop down the notification bar.....however these are negligible and will be taken care and ironed by KRAD......
