[Android Apps and Games] Whyzor:
Tried version 1.2 of this keyboard and it beats all the others I've tried (johntami, nick zhang, binary bulge).

- Works on my LG Optimus V's screen (no half cut off space bar row)

- Caps-lock on & off bug free

- Supports themes

- Auto capitalizes 'i'

- Low memory footprint (6.4 MB service vs 18 MB for other ICS KBs)

- It has an app icon!

Just one minor thing I noticed, the stone themes are a bit too spaced out vertically and gets cut off at the bottom. Keep up the good work!

There's no donate or paid version of this, what's the catch? ad-supported? sharing private info? Noticed that compared to other ICS keyboards, this one requires permission:

Network communication

full Internet access

Allows an application to create network sockets.

What is that for?
[Android Apps and Games] vllwp:
Internet access is for the new version check and notification. When you open the app, the app will detects and notify you if your current version is outdated.

It won't send any personal information to anywhere.
[Android Apps and Games] Whyzor:
Thanks for the quick response, I think it'd be less suspicious to drop that feature & permission request. Probably would speed up loading the app & use less memory too. Android Market already handles notifiying & updates and the user can control all of that at one place, including allowing background data.
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
vllwp, thanks for this port! Just noticed a few quirks:

1) I have sound on keypress enabled, and for some reason it sounds more quiet than every other keyboard I have (including the other ICS keyboards).

2) When I long press the smiley button, it selects whatever is on the upper left of where my finger actually is. So, it is currently not possible for me to select any of the 3 rightmost smileys which are :'( :-$ and :-P. By the way, I find these smileys very ugly. Is there a way we can edit the selection?

Any response for possibility to include different dictionaries from other keyboard such as smart keyboard?
[Android Apps and Games] penfold:
+1 for this request to drop the network access permission, that's what's stopping me from trying it, cheers
[Android Apps and Games] Whyzor:
I'm going back to Binary Bulge's version because of the internet permissions issue. (its memory footprint is about the same actually). I will come back to this if that permission req is removed. There's really no need for it since Android Market handles updates for all other apps pretty well.

Just noticed that this port shrinks the keys a bit more than Binary Bulge's version, I thought I noticed the keys were a bit harder to hit when first coming to this version, it's obvious when comparing them side by side.
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
I have to agree with the update check, I just check the Market for that. I also felt like the keys were shrunk! Thanks for the side by side comparison.
[Android Apps and Games] vllwp:
Can you try v1.3 and see how it works now?

market.android.com/details?id=com.vllwp.inputmethod.latin

I won't remove the Internet Access permission because it's required for new version check. The android market's version notification is too passive, most people just ignore them. It's not sending personal info anywhere, if you don't believe me, you can decompile the app or link it to a sniffer and look thru it yourself.
[Android Apps and Games] alexnaoumi:
This is the best ICS keyboard but I do have one problem. When I hold down the period key I can't select the & or ' symbols. The farthest it goes is the colon and semi colon. I'm on the EVO 3D.

Thanks for a great keyboard
[Android Apps and Games] xeigen:
Thx..the size of the keyboard is just perfect, doesnt take much space of my screen..

What can u use to do this? Tcpdump and wireshark?
[Android Apps and Games] Raproid:
Would you be so kind and add a Russian dictionary, please?
[Android Apps and Games] Whyzor:
It's still a bit cut off on the bottom row, so probably a little harder to hit those keys considering a lot of touchscreens are also less sensitive on the edges.

Regarding the internet access permissions, it's your app, but I think it would get wider appeal without that permission request. Most users don't see updates as urgently if an app already works, a lot of times they think updates will break what's already working. But for those who need a certain feature to work, or something is broken, they WILL be updating (through the Android Market) as soon as a new version is available. Also considering how often a keyboard is used vs how often updates come out (hundreds of times a day vs once or twice a month after it stabilizes). The constant update check is really enforcing something that the user has no need for. I hope you'll reconsider. Thanks for the app, but I'm still not going to use it or recommend it to others because of the permissions.
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
Same here, and same with the smiley faces as I mentioned previously. And in case you missed my message, the keypress sounds are much quieter than the other ICS and non-ICS keyboards I have.
[Android Apps and Games] mysterd:
Same here on my Samsung Galaxy S2 (european device).

Hope it'll be solved in future updates.

PS.: as other people have mentioned, it would be nice to remove the internet access requirement... I do think people use Android Market's update notification system and find it fine..

I know but I develop nothing now so I want to start from the very beggining
[Off-topic] Archer:
This is an Android and Windows Phone forum. There's only a minority of people on here with iPhones or iPads, so I'd imagine a very small number of developers. You're gonna get a VERY biased point of view on here.

What programming have you done before now, and why do you want to program for either platform?
[Off-topic] Gen1usw0rk:
I Didn't try any language until now!!!
[Off-topic] MacaronyMax:
I guess you could say neither are fun, writing out hundreds of lines of code, It's up to you, I mean, Android is a growing OS, and if you can develop a quality app you have the potential for more users, and IOS also has a large user base, The are no 'thrills' that one has over the other, but if you want to develop for IOS you must be using a Mac with xcode installed, otherwise to develop android you need the SDK and eclipse which is available on most major OS's (Windows, Mac, Linux):)
[Off-topic] Gen1usw0rk:
OK!! in your experience how can I start developing android from the very beggining????
[Off-topic] MacaronyMax:
The main question you should be asking then, is weather you want to learn Objective C or Java, Both can be used for non iOS/android things and one day you might want to try something PC based using one of the languages you learn

---------- Post added at 08:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ----------

Either a course in college, Orrr, online tutorials, I reccoment checking out thenewboston and mybringback for video tut's both are useful :) :D
[Off-topic] Archer:
Honestly not being funny here. Get a dummies guide, since you're starting from scratch. It's a MASSIVE field that you're entering and there's years and years worth of learning ahead of you, if you want to be any good. This isn't gonna happen overnight, and it won't happen easily.
[Off-topic] Gen1usw0rk:
Which is more powerful in your opinion????
[Off-topic] Gen1usw0rk:
I already have android development for dummies but it tells you to buy xml and java books??
[Off-topic] Archer:
If it's telling you to get a Java book then it's not a very good "Android for dummies" book. Xml is very straight forward and there's more than enough online to sort you out with that. It's only a way of structuring data, anyway.

The only real answer to your question is another question. What platform do you want to develop on?

The language and platform are irrelevant to the amount of fun or anguish that you will face while developing software.
[Off-topic] Gen1usw0rk:
I think I want to develop android!!
[Off-topic] MacaronyMax:
I don't know much about Objective C but afaik (Someone correct me? :p) it's based on C#/C++ so picking up those languages could be easier, Java can be used in Applets on the web, PC programs and games (eg. Minecraft) but, I think the same can be done with C++:D

And the reason the Dummy book told you to get the others is because the Android one is telling you how to use the java you should already know, but don't so that it can be more in detail, also I would say maybe skimp the xml one as it's mainly fairly simple in android as far as my experience is with it anyway (not much:p))

I know that mac costs money

[Off-topic] MacaronyMax:
I've tried a lil bit of many :) All extremely basic level so I have no idea what they're like at a more complicated level :D

But I have tried both Objective C and Android, I preffered the structure of the objective C and imo it looks more clean when coding, but Java I got further with :D
[Off-topic] Archer:
Nearly, but the wrong way round. C begets C++ begets C#. C++ is the language of choice for most developers that want to communicate directly with hardware. Other languages tend to actually be writting in C or C++ and therefore only have wrappers for the really low-level functions.

But yeah, any C based language or Java can be used to develop apps on PC, Linux, Mac, so they're both good ways to go. Java for Android means learning Java as well as the Android framework, whereas C for iPhone means learning C and the iPhone framework. Both come with their benefits and drawbacks, but personally I think Java is easier to learn than C, purely because it's not as deep. Saying that though, I've never looked at objective C or the iPhone framework. I just know C/C++ from old days.

So if I wanted to develop android

What books should I use???

what is the best language???

what is the best online tutorial??

thanks in advance
[Off-topic] Archer:
There is no best of any of them - it's all subjective, but I'll give you some ideas.

For starters books I always rate "Sams teach yourself blah in x days/hours" books. I've used them before and found them very good.

Personally, I'd go for Java over C, but that's just a preference because it's very similar to languages I already use.

For online tutorials, just google and read. You'll find plenty of resources for helping with everything from setting up the development environment, to writing your first "Hello World" app, through to more advanced app concepts. As you progress you'll decide more what you want to do - it's difficult to know when you've got no direction, and that will only come once you start.
[Off-topic] Gen1usw0rk:
Thank you very much I'll try and send you a message ????!!!!

Well just to clarify, there is no best language. Each language more or less has its own use or specializes in its own field. E.g. python for gaming. Basic for learning.

I say Java is the way to go. Start with Java, make some small Java programs, learn how it works. Then go pick up and android book, "Beginning Android Application Development" is good. The guy that wrote the book also teaches and intro to android class.

The book tells you how to get the all the stuff you need to start developing; from the Java JDK to android SDK and Eclipse with the android plugin.

I would recommend learning how to decompile .apks so you can see what all goes into and app. There is probably more code in there than you realized. It will, at least, show you what you are getting yourself into.
[Off-topic] iynfynity:

[Off-topic] iynfynity:
@OP

If you're going to learn Java, do it properly. Don't rush things. Don't get too excited to develop for Android because you'll just get frustrated if you don't have a good background in Java.

hey guys :) there where some really good points for my diploma thesis in your postings, because i write about the reasons why people develop for android or iOS and what distinguishes this to operating systems from each others.

I hope i can take some of the arguments in this thread for writing a solid diploma thesis :) Maybe you would like to help me with the thesis and spend 5 minutes of your time with my online questionnaire, with which i try to find out why people choose which OS, what are their reasons and what they see as advantages.

Ive seen this on other rooted devices ..so i try to charge the photon while completely off all it does is turn on the boot screen that says unlocked at top then boots into bootstrap recovery? ? Wtf..

Anyway around this ? I installed cwm via bootstrap phones unlocked rooted on skinny 1.3

How am i able to charge the phone via

A/c outlet without it wanting to boot into bootstrap?

I Even uninstalled bootstrap still does it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Its because you installed bootstrap. Gp back into that app and click the charge mode button

not boot strap i redid the cwm via adb with the recovery.img

I redid cwm flash via command prompt adb method erased recovery and flashed recovery.img in cmd prompt no bootstrap apk on phone even:mad: and it still does the auto boot once usb is plugged in. Granted i was using bootstrap to flash cwm but i figured id give cwm a try by adb method. So i still turn the phone off plug usb in and it boots.

If i have phone on and usb in and turn it off it still reboots??

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Mr.MacGyver:
Lately (within 3-4 weeks) i have noticed that my Infuse vibrates quite obnoxiously.

At first i thought it was just the new case i bought, however when i take the case off it still vibrates loudly. It's actually something you could hear across a room if it went off on a desk or other flat surface. The only time when the vibration is subtle is when its in my pocket, or i have a death grip on it lol

I tried to remedy the problem myself through several attempts:

1. Flash a different ROM - Failed

2. Set vibration to "only in Silent Mode"- Failed

3. Change vibration intensity - Failed (only controls haptic feedback)

Has anyone had similar problems that could shed some light on this situation?! its almost too loud for me to carry my phone in school (:\)

I'm running DarkyROM for Infuse.

Any help regarding the topic is appreciated guys

I have a touch pro 2 and have just come off a no data limit package to a cheap 100 mb one on o2.

Nowadays I hardly use the data on my fone but only a week after switching I get a text that I've hit my limit. I use email push but only a dozen or so emails a day. No fb or twitter. no browsing.

I notice whenever email gets pushed the notification says I'm still connected. 20 hours I was connected for but I wasn't using any online applications. Is it normal for it to sit idling like that and will this contribute to my allowance ... Seems pretty clear it does.
