Using accessibility features in Android

Ok. I have a Samsung GT S5570, "mini".

I have upgraded from 2.2.1 Froyo to 2.3.3 Gingerbread.

To enable accessibility features, more specifically, text to speech, you need to go into two options,

1, Settings > Voice input and output

2. settings > accessibility

I cannot remember which one I opened first, but the phone asked me to enable data downloads / background sync as I entered both menus. ("Always on GPRS" - if you are new to android - especially were using Nokia phones so far).

Once the data is downloaded, go to #1. First entry is "Listen to an example". You can change the language and speed of text to speech engine in other menu options below. At the bottom, I have and entry, which says "engine" and underneath, "PicoTTS". This means required data and text speech engine are installed on the phone.

I guess the available languages are dependent on the ROM you use - you probably need to have the African ROM. (Hope somebody will correct me here).

Here is how to actually enable the phone to read the screen,

Settings > Accessibility > Talkback.

Just enable Talkback. That is it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamBaum:
Again, I appreciate your help but as I've said, I'm not too comfortable with the TTS and prefer, as long as I have other options, not to use it.

If anyone has any other apps in mind, I'd love to know.

Otherwise, The built in TTS has been checked and discarded, thank you.

So the biggest reason that I want root is to change my LCD density. I would be able to live with my unrootable warranty replacement if I could just modify build.prop without SU access.

Is there any way to accomplish this?

To me, stock LCD density is like running a modern computer at 800x600 resolution. Is anyone else going crazy because they're stuck unrootable and can't change LCD density?
[EVO 4G General] Buckky:
LCD Density

I use ROM Toolbox. Be careful I went below 200 on the programs sliding scale and it started looping. 200 works for me EVO 4G Froyo 2.2 with MYN's WARM 2.2 RLS 5

[HTC EVO 3D] zaner123:
I've read a lot about Ext2,3 and 4 partitions, Swap, Fat32 primaries, etc.

I don't understand any of it and I can't seem to find any explanations.

Right now I'm running Vipermod's ROM but I was going to flash Synergy until I saw that it seems to require partitions to be set up in some particular way?

Any help would be appreciated.
[HTC EVO 3D] Spyderekz:
you can do fine with the way your card is set up now, no extra partitions required.

If you have a fast card, you can partition it to have what most call SD-EXT. my understanding is that its used to store applications automatically with A2SD ( apps to SD ) you can also move swap and dalvik-cache to the SD card, but only if its fast enough. Class 4 is recomended. but most say you shouldnt waste it on a class 10 since the evo doesnt use that much speed.

EXT 4 is supposed to the format for sd-ext or the dalvik. fat and fat 32 are for everything else, so windows can read the SD card.

ext 2 and 3 are the previous formats, but ext 4 is faster, but not always supported. ext 3 is the most common

Motorola Photon 4G bootloader unlocked!

[EVO 4G General] xsisbest:
I'm not taking it that way. The guys excited to have root back. Can't fault anyone for that. I would be too. He even said he misses his EVO. Which I would greatly. Everytime I use my wifes photon I'm thankful for my EVO, even though its unrooted. The photon widgets are lame,not to mention there is hardly any (no clock,email or messaging widgets),no mobile data toggle,if your in 4g area it enables it to connect to data,the music app is plain Jane...I don't know..I'm not in anyway knocking the phone but just my opinion and only a comparison to what I have so don't take it the wrong way. If you love your photon,koodos. I for one have just grown accustomed to HTC I guess..

Not certain on the relevance of this thread.

IMHO, would have served more purpose had there been links providing more information or procedures to follow ... assuming of couse that such procedures weren't already covered in another thread - which would make this thread redundant.

Closed.

This is an innappropriate tone to use and is disrespectful to fellow members. We receive numerous complaints that XDA has become a site where it is acceptable to be disrespectful and abusive. Moderators have been critized for attempting to be fair and lenient ... everyone has a bad day, right?

While on your week holiday, make time to improve your tone and attitude before returning to XDA; if this is unacceptable, please feel free to frequent another website - the Internet is full of them and easily located using a search engine such as Google.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan450:
Its a rather primitive method but I set my desired oc settings and apply for now only, lets say 1200mhz to start since samsung put code for that setting in the newest release its pretty safe to say most phones will oc to this speed.

At this point I will run quadrant, then turn my camera/video on , make a test call and a few other things to put the phone under a good load and see if it freezes...if not I will increase oc and repeat the steps until it freezes...on cm7 mine will oc to 1500 but freezes at 1600. I then reboot and reset to my previously highest oc, then I try different schedulers and governors and run quadrant till I get the best score. (on demand with deadline seems to be the best for my phone) I then will go and try uv the first unstable oc and try uv'ing it to see if I can get a higher oc to run stable, if and when I gain any higher oc, I then try uv'ing my lowest steps 100, and 200 to gain some battery...this time though allowing the phone to go to deep sleep seeing if it will then wake back up...once i uv as much as possible and its stable I will apply for now...run it for a full day and will apply on boot if I run the whole day with out problems...this is just how I do it...hope it helps!

YouTube

​

Here is YouTube. Trying to think of new ideas, didn't want to make a mini YouTube icon like Aeolus or make a mini YouTube page like Ares, so I kept it simple with a red play button over an oval button. I also brought back the fingerprint layer by request, figure it would work well since we all press play on our YouTube app.

Not taking request right now, that'll come after I release the icon pack.
[Android Themes] Raadius:
Just a lil update, progress of the icons are coming a long pretty well, I've created a lot of icons recently, over 15 but I've only shown a preview of 2 or so. I'm sorry for the lack of updates.

I would like to show more of what I created but it has come to my attention that when I post a preview shot, a certain someone is cutting the icons out, readjusting them in photoshop and posting a screenshot of there setup.

I view XDA everyday, all the time, but I cant read each and every "post your screenshot thread". Thankfully I get people who PM or email me stuff like "raadius did you release this icon?" and when I see the thread/screens, nope, I have not, its only been preview shot. So how did this user get the icon? It's obvious now.

This is beyond **** up. I post screenshots for critique, to show progress and get feedback, not so you can cut my work out / edit the colors and call it your own. Every icon I make, is hand made within photoshop, I don't put an image in a shape, I actually build, layer by layer so when you ripp my icons from preview shots, it's a slap in the face of the hours of work I put into them.

:(

Twitter

​

Here is the Twitter icon. I've seen this metaphor done on other icon sets, so I decided to put my spin on it, what do you think? I know some people don't like metaphor icons, so don't worry, I have a regular twitter icon that will be a part of the pack, this is just a preview of the alternate.
[Android Themes] kkevin94:
Great icon. I wouldn't use it for twitter, but still a beautiful job. Sucks that a lowlife has to try to steal your icons to be special. Thanks for all your hard work.
[Android Themes] wez89:
Watermark them with like 'preview' running through the icon :)
[Android Themes] reinbeau:
That's adorable. I like metaphor icons myself, I even use icons that were designed for a different program just because I like them.

As for watermarks through previews, it would work, but I really don't care for watermarks at all. It sucks that people steal other's work and claim it as their own.
[Android Themes] Zalatorisaurus:
I cannot speak for everyone, but I truly enjoy your work to a great extent. I love to see your work when it pops up on my deviant art messages and I smile a little at how good a job you do. I only wish that people wouldn't steal others work and call it their own, but alas, not everyone is good at heart. Your artistic ability is amazing and I hope you continue to keep doing what you're doing.
[Android Themes] dfskevinohyeah:
Sorry to hear that raadius, your icons (said it before and ill say it again) are the best most beautiful looking icons I have ever seen. I can tell you spend many many hours working on them and I have been using your work since your first icon set you made public on xda. Thanks for making these icons and when you release them for adw I will make sure to purchase them and leave a good review :).
