[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farhan_ds:
Hi everyone,

i have searched the net and many forums and google play , but i canot find a solution to this situation.

i want to resize the Dock on my galaxy S2. i want to either auto hide it, like the slide up to hide in ADW EX, or resize the icons to smaller size, instead of the jumbo default ones. since it is possible on ADW, it should be possible in other ways . i just want to know how can it be done manually?.

i want a large desktop with more wallpaper visible..i dont want any launchers, as ADW keeps messing phone and zooming in wallpaper, which is hectic.

phone is rooted. 4.0.4 Stock. nordic XPLY.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] peconaut:
So im going to buy a new phone which one do you guys think is better to purchase

T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S III or Google Nexus 4
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] android88:
The Nexus 4. The N4 has much better specs than the US S3. Also, if you are going to buy the phone off-contract, the N4 is around half the price of the Galaxy S3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:
Go online and find the compare button and just compare it. sorry dont understand why these threads pop up constantly. Its what better fits your needs and pockets. You know the pros and cons of the phone and should be able to make a educated decision... Blondes or Brunnettes, Tall or Short, Fat or Skinny - where will it end......Jus' Sayin' LOL

Get the S4 when it comes out! :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
Very true.. I wouldn't go by someone else's opinion because their needs may be different than mine.. YouTube is your friend!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blatz729:
Yep do this. Is the S4 coming out?.. sorry if it sounds stupid but I read that the Koreans are gonna announce it February and release it on March. Sounds crazy but that's kinda the only reason why I decided not to upgrade to S3.

I would choose S3 over the N4. N4 doesn't have an external storage and the most it has I think is 16gb. I'm using a 34gb card with my S2 and on the S3 I'll be using a 64(I think it's 64?...)gb card on it. Plus N4 had no LTE.. if your sticking with T-Mobile then LTE compatibility shouldn't matter. Screen is smaller.. I dunno there was a bunch of other stuff. Google it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] suaverc118:
I also read the S4 will be out early next year as well. I also hear the s3 has a better camera than nex? Anyways I'm holding off for the S4

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Max Xman:
That would be my number one reason as well. I save all the important stuff from my phone on the micro sd (before it goes on the hard drive) and if the phone dies, my precious data will not.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Khizar:
N4
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ludbosanac17:
I think a benefit of the N4 would be the android updates would come first to it since its Google's new flagship phone. The specs are good on both and would work flawlessly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] biglil1:
One of the factors that I would look at is the expandable memory cuz u never know if ur gonna need. Both r good phones but on the n4 I think u well run out of space faster and surprise !! no extra memory. Went through this on my n7 it is nice having the vanilla flaver though.

on my t989 enjoying sith3, thank u to all

[Windows 8 General] TouchPal:
Hi Folks,

No sliding input in Windows8 is really crappy and boring!

No smart prediction for typing in Windows8 is stupid!

Take this! Next generation input For Windows!

[Windows 8 General] Catscratch:
When will it be available?
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
That looks really slick.

Will this just be available on both windows 8 and windows RT?
[Windows 8 General] reprod:
I'm interested. I used to have Touchpal in the WinMo 6 days. It was a great keyboard back then. Truly revolutionary.

Sent from my Windows 8 device using Board Express
[Windows 8 General] tonyz3:
I see it is avail for download has anyone tried it yet?? http://www.touchpal.com
[Windows 8 General] theboundless:
trying it now.it's really buggy but in any case it's a good start
[Windows 8 General] tonyz3:
Have you gotten it to work
[Windows 8 General] theboundless:
It doesn't consistently work, sometimes just fails to pop up completely leaving only the stock keyboard
[Windows 8 General] mt2020:
Where did you find an English version? Won't give me that option on install.
[Windows 8 General] tonyz3:
I saw it mentioned somewhere else that even though English is not a set up option it is still the default language after set up.
[Windows 8 General] mt2020:
Yep, you are correct it will default to English... but on my Asus 400 didn't work at all. Changed all the preferences and could not get swipe or word prediction to work.

Guess it's still in it's infancy.
[Windows 8 General] dean56:
windows RT

i wish someone told me it was only windows RT...would have saved me a lot of time!

i hope someone gets this going for windows 8 PRO!
[Windows 8 General] tonyz3:
Where did you see only RT, even Engadget mentions the Pro.

:confused::crying:
[Windows 8 General] dean56:
where?

well i installed it and i can definitely say it didn;t work on the pro!

---------- Post added at 01:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 AM ----------

and when you get ready to install it has corupted letters..... it's not meant for PRO...trust me. if it was on the PRO it would be in the store and all over youtube!
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
If it was for RT, you wouldn't even be able to start the installer on the Pro (or any other x64 PC). I very much doubt the current version can run on RT, in fact. It may (or may not) be buggy on x86 / x64 (not "PRO"; that's nothing but a portion of the term used to identify a specific model of x64 PC), but it's certainly not "only windows RT" as you claimed. Oh, and a Store version wouldn't really work at all; you couldn't run it with the desktop or any other Metro app.

I'm guessing it's just a mistake you made (wrong language selected or something). The mistake might be caused by a bug in the software, but given that you apparently don't understand the difference between RT and Win8 on x86/x64 (not "PRO") at all, I'm pretty sure you don't understand the nature of the problem either.
[Windows 8 General] netham45:
It's a horribly buggy app, I suggest against anyone using it. It crashed Explorer right after installing, and it causes any app that you type 'C++ word word' into to crash while it's running. Not only that, but it forcefully sets itself as the current keyboard every 30 or 45 seconds, even if you manually select the stock keyboard. This behavior is behavior I would expect from a virus more than a seemingly professional piece of software.

The installer also doesn't seem to have an English installer, I had to rely on 3 semesters of high school Spanish to get through it. It also defaults to what appears to be Chinese.

But, as far as it goes on RT, it's a WPF app with a native C++ helper dll, it won't run on RT, now or ever.
[Windows 8 General] tomcklam:
Does not run

I admin installed v. 1.3 on Windows 8.1. When I install I only checked "English" and it has an error message "C:\Program Files\CooTek\TouchPal\keyboard\TPKeyBoard.exe A referral was returned from the server." I clicked OK and continue. After it was installed I try locate those execute files and run as admin. All I get is the "A referral was returned from the server error" :eek: Not sure whats going on... maybe a connection problem? :(
[Windows 8 General] zirquel:
Have you figured out a solution by chance? I'm running into this now myself, and have no more ideas for a solution. A suggestion of another swipe styled keyboard would also be an appreciated, alternative, answer!

Thanks.
[Windows 8 General] tomcklam:
InScribe

I still couldn't get the Swype works on touchPal Keyboard. However there is another one called InScribe. I have not tried that yet. here is the link that describes the 2 keyboards:

Did you ever use the keyboard offline? If no, then you've got the answer :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ekerbuddyeker:
I took this from the t mobile note 2 forum...

Ever touched the screen on your video while watching it by mistake? Happened to me all the time on my og note. On the note2 if you press the power button the screen locks and continues to play the video.

Lol...the original Note does the same thing, friend. ;)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoot05redss:
That's an awesome feature, now if they would bring that to some apps so my son can play without paying the back button!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kingofkings11:
damn i never knew the original did that too! wouldve saved me a lot of aggravating moments where I wanted to thrown the phone out the window!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] suprstar29:
Hate to break it to you, but the sgs1 had it too
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] inningsdefeat500:
I use the default player and mine goes black or off
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Just tried it and it locked the screen. While watching movie!

Also noticed that vol is on the right, brightest on the left just by sliding your finger on the screen:D

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Gladiator00:

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Lennox Alexion:
It happened with me when I directly installed the apk but this works fine for me..
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Lennox Alexion:
No lag at all for me and the swype works great for me! Cm9.1 build#9

Is your keyboard app on sd-ext partition??
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Gladiator00:
I flashed it like I normally would.. Wheres the apk file? Im also using cm9.1 build 9...

Edit: Its working now... Is there a way to make the it not aurocorrect my gestures?

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Axaion:
Unfortunately xperia keyboard has stopped working. With JB beta 2 from sakindia123
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Gladiator00:
Go to /system/app and install it..
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Axaion:
Sorry, forgot to say what ive tried

Ive tried flashing the zip file from CWM 6.0.somethingsomething

Ive tried Installing it by running the apk

ive tried installing it by running the apk after flashing (the file does show up in system folder, but i still get the error :\)

Reflashed JB 3 times and cleared dalvik/cache/data each time aswell

Gonna try again, just to make sure im not completely dumb

edit:Yeah, for some reason its not letting me mount system :|..

Edit2: After flashing, and trying to install the apk located in system afterwards, it says there was an error parsing the file
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] sherif_linkin:
Awesome dude it works perfect on slim cm10
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Axaion:
well, i guess i found out why it wont work for me, not enough space left ^_-, Or atleast terminal said so when i tried to copy over the files
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] sherif_linkin:
Maybe that's right because before I flash it they system has 40 megabyte free and now it's about 20 megabyte
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Lennox Alexion:
You may remove Latinime.apk if you don't use the default keyboard.. :)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Axaion:
Well, got it working.. somewhat, after i deleted Latinime.apk to get more space, it would work fine

that is till i reboot, and constant android keyboard error now because i removed that file, odly enough it wont remember that i disabled it :confused:

anyone else have this working with JB Beta2 that sakindia123 made?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] sherif_linkin:
Yeah I'm using jb beta 2 and it's working for me but I'm using the slim jb to get more system memory
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Axaion:
Alright then, prolly something on my side then, thanks :)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] tofanpc:

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] ahmadmemon:
it did give me also the same error when installing apk directly so try flashing it's zip file...
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] johnlohit1996:
can anyone tell me how to uninstall this?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Lennox Alexion:
Remove the files from \ system\app

Best way is to match and delete the files from the zip from the same directory on the phone i.e. Extract the zip and open the same directory on the phone using root explorer and delete them..

Make sure you have installed another keyboard apart from this. :)

Holy cow, this is very impressive! Best WP launcher i've seen. Everything is so smooth :D
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] uoY_redruM:
Very impressed. It's a nice change of pace.

Question: there is an update showing (v1.3). Will it mess it up and make it Chinese if I update?

Edit- is there a way to add the app drawer as an icon? I need the app drawer. I don't want to add every icon for every app I use.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] masterex567:
Don't update from there.

I'll update this thread soon with changelog.

You don't need to add icons. On the launcher just swipe to the right. Your apps appear in the same way as launcher 7

It's modded to be like normal windows 8. This one is Windows Phone 8.

But it's paid. :/

ya is paid

but I download from the play store link you given (I am chinese)

Already emailed the dev.

and trying to play my part by fixing it.

might take some time

Actually in AppList settings I refreshed contact icons and my contacts started showing up, but still mixed with blank tiles...
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] uoY_redruM:
Man this thing sucks battery like crazy!

I get a lot of random crashes too.

Backed up my theme and uninstalled for the time being. I'm looking forward to future updates.

As of current I don't think so..

You can only add apps to folders or have contacts as a separate widget.

To create a folder:

Touch the menu button

click add

click new folder

scroll to bottom

click in the folder

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mrclaver:
Be aware of the launcher. One icon wants to download Anall lock. That app puts itself as device administrator. You have to root-uninstall the app. :/
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] masterex567:
O.o

That could be ads or malware.

I can remove it from the apk if you give me more info. .

What icon? ?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Z3roCz:
It's in the playstore already:) search for Launcher 8
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] masterex567:
Yep.

They changed the name.

This is no longer the translated version..

Its originally from QiHang Dev Team
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] bassie1995:
Or just remove it from Settings, isn't that possible too?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] The Fame:
good

Beautiful :D
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] masterex567:
New Years gift!

After lots of testing, v1.2.4 seemed good for updating here. :D
