Workaround

I have battled with this problem as well. I am using Google Keyboard, and am very happy with it.

Today I found a decent workaround:

In Google Keyboard settings, there is a setting for "Voice Input key", under which you can either move the little mike button to the symbol keyboard, or remove it altogether.

Hey,

i have a Galaxy Nexus with Stock 4.2.1. I would like to use NFC when either the screen is looked or the display is turned off.

To do so I found:

But the NFC replacement is not starting on my Phone. Also the developer wrote at the first Thread there might be some Problems with stock 4.2.1.

Does anyone have another NFC replacement working on Stock 4.2.1?

I have an Acer Aspire One D257 netbook with system:

32 bit system

CPU: Intel Atom N570 (Doul Core 1.66 GHz, 1M L2 Catch)

RAM: 2 GB

Screen Resolution: 1024 x 600 (MAX)

I want to know, can I upgrade to Windows 8 Pro with this screen resolution? What are the common issues that I will face after upgraded?
[Windows 8 General] junpeikawada:
Windows 8 32bit is fine.
[Windows 8 General] stevenkhan168:
I worry about the screen resolution, especially the metro app of win 8... :rolleyes:
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
The OS will run fine. However, you will not be able to use "Metro" apps at that resolution. You'll basically be limited to the Desktop. You'll get the advantages of the faster boot times, lower RAM usage, greater security, and the refresh/reset features of Win8, but otherwise it will be pretty much the same as Win7 it terms of what you can do with it. Your CPU won't support Client Hyper-V, your display won't support Metro apps, you don't have a touchscreen to take advantage of, you (probably) don't have cellular data to take advantage of the Win8 features there, I'd guess you aren't using multiple displays with it very often so the improvements in WIn8 with multimonitor won't be relevant...

Also, WTF? That's a lower resolution than many current phones have! Sounds highly unpleasant to attempt to use; are you sure it wouldn't be better to just get a device with decent specs?
[Windows 8 General] stevenkhan168:
So do you recommend to upgrade this mini Acer laptop to Windows 8 Pro? (It is now using Windows 7 Ultimate) :silly:

1024 x 600 is the common resolution of most Acer netbook series...:cool:
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
I guess it depends how much you feel the extra RAM is worth it. Running Win8 instead of Win7 will give you back probably at least a few hundred megs of RAM do the de-duplication process, which on a 2GB system may be a pretty big deal. On the other hand, at that resolution, you probably aren't multitasking much anyhow... so maybe you don't care.

The security improvements are mostly only relevant on 64-bit; a 32-bit system will derive much less benefit over Win7 in this area.

It's theoretically possible that there will be Win8-only non-Metro apps that you want to run, but it seems unlikely. If Win7 is working out for you, I'd suggest you stick with that. Your hardware just isn't going to let you take advantage of most of the Win8 features. In the meantime, you'd have to deal with the Win8 mis-features, like the fact that Start search now requires extra clicks to access things listed under Settings or Files, and you'd lose the built-in games since the Win8 ones are Metro.
[Windows 8 General] SuperiorEst:
Hack to get Metro working

Metro apps will not run in less than 1024×768 which the Acer can’t do but there is a hack.

The hack involves setting display scaling so you can set the display to be a non native resolution. To go this you need to load up REGEDIT which you can do by clicking on Start, then start typing REGEDIT, this will bring up the search screen and then click on the app.

Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video

Then find you display devices , I had four listed and it was the 2nd key. Click on the display (it will be something like {CA7B02A8-373B-4A4D-8E4E-4196CF23A532}

Then select 000

A whole list of keys will be displayed, find “Display1_DownScalingSupported” and set the value to 1 and then quit Regedit and reboot.

After a reboot you can then go in to display settings and change the resolution to 1024×768, its not a native resolution so it doesn’t look as smooth as the native setting but you will find that Metro apps will now load.

I hope this helps. always set a restore point before making any changes to your system.
[Windows 8 General] SeanX:
I have tried this hack on my sons Acer One. However whenever he starts a metro app, the computer hangs so it wasn't much of an improvement.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1chris89:
yeah I'm hella pissed that ClockWorkRecovery is a worthless piece of crap on the NoteII unlike my Atrix where it worked fine. When I go into cwm and go to clear data it restarts and I charged to 100% and it still restarts. One time it didn't restart and I backed up my current rom and it was successful. I forgot to backup with titanium back and so I cleared data and restored my original backup prior to clearing data to install cm10 and upon reboot it was like a stock rom i think the hybrid and the camera didn't even work. So it cleared all my personal data and didn't restore ****. I'm so mad now I have to do a whole bunch of work to get it back to normal.

What's up with CWM for Note 2? Why doesn't it backup EVERYTHING like my ATRIX and HTC HD2 would do no problem...

Now I can't clear data since everytime I do it, it restarts every single time... CWM - based recovery v6.0.1.4-jb Modify by xiaolu

Can I flash a better working version that actually works and backup correctly and restores all data...?

So now i can't get it to work at all it just hangs on the CyanogenMod screen. Does TWRP work with ntfs cards in recovery?? I hope so. Because it's stupid how it can mount usb storage and see my ntfs sd card on my pc but then i can't browse to install zip it says cannot mount. When It just got done mounting it to the pc and it worked fine.

TWRP doesn't even work I did exactly as it says here on the site :

Install using your existing recovery like you would any other zip.

Reboot and select TWRP from the boot menu.

There is no menu upon boot what the hell are they talking about? I hold volume up, menu, power and I see the Teamwin then it restarts ..... WTF?!?

Don't install from cwm. I think you got it working. But I would Odin flash stock and start over. If you still have issues I would say your phone has something going on. But if you can't prove it, att won't trade. And flashing incorrectly(not official Samsung software) isn't allowed lol

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] BlackPhantomX:
In another thread...complaining about the same thing...he says he got TWRP working. Didn't respond to my question as to what he did yet though. But the negative attitude towards something going wrong isn't going to solve the issue. Relax. Remember that both CWM and TWRP have disclaimers that if you don't know what you're doing and you screw your phone up during the install, you do it at your own risk and they're not liable, especially when many of us have installed CWM and TWRP many times in different devices without problems.

I have been using the Nov. 30 signed gapps package at goo.im/gapps. That is the most recent one that didn't cause the launcher issue for me. Another option if you don't want to change gapp packages and you intend to use a different launcher is to click on notifications and then one of the play store notifications. Once in the market install your launcher of choice and open it and set it as default. That is what I did this time and have had no issues using Nova launcher.

Good day, everybody!

I've seen that there are here many great experts in this domain, so that I would like, with your permission, to ask why SG S3 has to be factory unlocked before rooting? All the guides provided on pages I've found on internet specify that (as a newbie, I only can assume that factory locked means that the device is working only on a specific mobile carrier, which is applicable in my case).

I also want to get a newer stock version of Android, and I dont't know if the latest is 4.1.2 or 4.2; maybe you can tell me.

From what I've read, in order to do so, I firstly have to root my phone, using a method for the specific kernel I have (XXDLJ4), and then install the software, using clockworkmod and the stock Android kitt. If I've understood it completly wrong, please let me know.

I can figure that you have been hearing this kind of questions over and over in your life, and I understand you perfectly, but I wouldn't be coming here I didn't you're the best.

The AP of my device is 9300XXDLJ4 with CP I9300BVDLI1.

[Sony Tablet S] fortissimo:
(I first posted this over at Pocketables, but think I should still share it here despite xda does not have a Tablet P sub-forum (why not?) )

Just by accident, I tested an apk from a friend, which was basically a hack to make it show 720p by default, not designed to run on Tablet P. But the strange thing is, it works, and not only that, it displays a split screen design that fits the Tablet P perfectly. I am shocked because both Sony and Google are denying Tablet P to have ANY YouTube app working. I even tried to transfer a standard version and it simply crashes.

Since this is a copyrighted material, I cannot provide info on the source. But the key search is YouTube 4.2.16 (v2b) 720p apk , which is how this apk is labelled.

I tried very hard looking for it, and came across it solely by accident, so I thought I'd share it here. Before this, I had to resort to using browser and Flash Player to get to YouTube.

Ironically, I still see referencing to YouTube on a related Sony web page on this Tablet P. So from the beginning, there has always been an intention to get this out, and not only that, a selling point. I have no idea why it was pulled. I cannot believe with the resources at Google (and Sony), they can't make this work. Many other split screen apps have worked for this model. And now this app works well, automatically comes up in split screen.

Anyone would speculate why there isn't an official one, now since I have found one that works (I have searched around, so I think I have found this, but if it is old news, please let me know.).

I moved from an iPad to the N7. When I first got it I accidentally and absent-mindedly pushed the SIM opener into the rather stupidly-placed rear mic hole (which is the same size as the tray opener hole) because I'm used to the removal hole being at the side of the tray and was rushing to get it up and running :P

I can't seem to get it to record anything, so can I assume that I've bust it or does it only kick in under certain conditions or in certain apps? I've tried downloading different voice recording apps but even the ones that allow you to switch mics don't seem to actually switch on the N7 - they just seem to use the mic on the top-right of the device.

Can someone on here test their mics and let me know if it records on both? I know that if I push my finger over the main mic I just get some ambient muffled sound (probably just being picked up by the covered mic).

I don't know how resistant the mic is to having a SIM opening tool pushed quite hard into it, stupid as I feel, I'm sure I'm not the only person to have made this mistake!

My question is:

Currently my phone is rooted and I installed different Apps like NFC Tasker, Tasker etc. I made some of this app to a system App --> moving to /system/app/ an granted them root access.

What happens to this Apps if I unroot / unlock my phone again.

Do they keep their root access, because they are at the Systemapp folder?

If not what options do I have? I don't want to keep my Phone rooted. I found a APP namped helper it is used by "Security Settings" to e.g. toogle airplane. Is that an option?

Thanks a lot
