[Droid Ultra Themes and Apps] mistermojorizin:
try Kii keyboard, you can completely customize the layout, make it as big as you want. has swiping and google voice input built in.

I personally use swype. I love the copy paste shortcuts as well as the number keypad shortcut and it's the best for swyping, though it doesn't have google voice input, which sucks cause dragon doesn't have offline voice.

i've heard people go on and on about swiftkey for years, and i've used the paid version of it for a number of months and i just don't get the hype. It got a LOT better once it introduced FLOW, but even then, it's just not as good as swype. doesn't have the swype shortcuts either.

my #2 choice is Kii and i think for your purposes, to make the keyboard bigger, it's the best choice.

Another vote for SwiftKey
[Droid Ultra Themes and Apps] jfriend33:
SwiftKey hands down.

Flash back to December 2011. After losing my beloved droid 2 with its decent keyboard I upgraded to the galaxy nexus. Fast. Big. Beautiful. Can't type on it, useless. Luckily I had purchased SwiftKey for 10 cents during the marketplace transition.

Immediately hooked. Loved the ease of typing.

Although some days I still crave how my blackberry storm typed. Did it just click?

The photon Q 4G lte is probably the best keyboard I've ever tried though. Sigh. Maybe phonebloks project Ara will address this some day....
[Droid Ultra Themes and Apps] tCizler:
I'm with this guy, never really cared for swiftkey, but loved Kii and the stock motorola keyboard
[Droid Ultra Themes and Apps] nerdyplayer:
Me like Kii :) just what i wanted. i prefer to actually type my messages and now that it is larger, i can type better :D yay! gold star
[Droid Ultra Themes and Apps] codito:
Seconding Kii, it's fantastic, VERY close to stock, and just customizable enough for my needs.
[Droid Ultra Themes and Apps] emmabellachristian:
bought thumb keyboard for my orginal nexus 7 when i was new to tablets its only keyboard i use
[Droid Ultra Themes and Apps] noxlord:
I use swiftkey, It's highly customisable since the last update. Kii sounds great too but I never tried. One of the reasons why I use swiftkey over the competition (and even google keyboard) is that it allows you to use different keyboard layouts and languages at the same time.
[Droid Ultra Themes and Apps] cold21blooded:
SwiftKey.. Hate the stupid small stock keyboard.. Since the last update SwiftKey is the bomb... And it has full emoji support built in like the stock google one... ??????????????????

Any way to disable the text message display on the lock screen? The counter from before was perfect. This new thing is going to get me so busted.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] winosxbuntu:
since am not on 4.3 yet, am sure there are settings on the messaging app to disable that and or the settings on lockscreen settings to disable text notification on lockscreen or use a different app like whatsApp that will help a ton
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CYRAXDroid:
I want it back like it was before 4.3 If you open the text app and settings all the way at the bottom all it shows that you Disable or enabled it but it's like one or the other.. Lame..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] proud a-clown:
I got hooked up with the setting on another forum. It's in the menu within the text app. Uncheck the preview option. You lose both the notification line preview and the lockscreen preview.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] winosxbuntu:
so did you fix it ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] proud a-clown:
Yup. Unchecked the preview message option. Now the lock screen just has a big box which says "new message."
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ylvu28:
I have a S3 and just received my 4.3 update yesterday. This morning I noticed that I had a txt message because of the "new message" on my lock screen. I'm not sure what I changed but I no longer get that notification. I don't want the message preview just the big box which says 'new message'. Any ideas would be much appreciated!!

Under the Messaging app settings, I currently have "Preview message" unchecked. I also have "Flash notification" unchecked.

Thanks in advance!!!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] hovax615@hotmail.com:
Maybe cause your not reading. Questions go on the Q&A forum. You don't have enough space to create a ROM slot try deleting some stuff than try creating a ROM slot again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] @BxBrotha730:
Thank u. that def worked.. I tried installing the omega ROM n then gaps.. both said successful install but when i boot up custom ROM I get just the blank screen.. I'm so close I think but can't nail it...n it's not just that I'm not reading.. I tried reading different things for 4days its just a lot o read through in order to find ur solution
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] TheEgonSpengler:
.. No you aren't reading if you are trying to flash omega. Go back to the thread. Only certain Touch wiz based roms work, and only the 4.2.2 versions
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] @BxBrotha730:
Believe me I am... Actually going back to read thru the massive pages there is... appreciate the response
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] XCnathan32:
That sucks :(, but i have stock 4.2.2 running through Safestrap...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] rayburne:
It doesn't have to be a touch wiz rom it only has to be 4.2.2. This why GPE version 4.2.2 works.

Are you sure you installed the 4.2.2 version of Omega?

The correct link to the working version of Omega can be found in the OP here.

Edit: Just looked at the link and it appears he pulled the 4.2.2 version of Omega. I know the 4.2.2 version works because I am running it.

May look through the Omega thread and see if you can find a link to the 4.2.2 version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] TheEgonSpengler:
Per the post you linked in bold blue text : Also, at this time, only TW based ROMs will work with SS. CM, AOSP, AOKP, MIUI, etc will not work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] rayburne:
Thanks for catching that. You are correct. The one linked is for a TW version.

Thanks for correcting me however Omega for the I9505 is TW based and works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] @BxBrotha730:
That is what I did wrong.. Downloaded wrong omega file
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] TheEgonSpengler:
Just a careful issue, as it appears to be possible to ensnare yourself in a situation only a authorized retailer like Best buy can get you out of.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] rayburne:
No need for Best Buy anymore as the MF3 ODIN files have been released.

Matter of fact people are flashing over their MF3 stock slots now with Safestrap since this is now released and you can recover back to MF3 without Best Buy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] TheEgonSpengler:
Can you still get to flash mode? Thought it went to the dreaded contact ATT boot screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] rayburne:
As long as you can get into download/odin mode you should be able to recover.

Lot's of people have recovered the MF3 devices without going to best buy.

If you can't get into download mode, I'm not even sure if BB would be able to flash the phone to recover.

Howdy all. I posted this in the general Q&A sub forum over a month ago and never got a reply. Just looking for an update (or better apk decompiler/recompiler) so I will not get these errors.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1kon:
I was busy trying to flash cm10.2 RC for my i9100 and ended up soft-bricking my phone. Not sure what happened, probably just me doing something stupid. If I recall the correct way to handle this is:

1)Find stock rom+kernel

2) install KIES on pc

3) flashing using ODIN in download mode

The problem is that I have no idea where to get the 4.1.1 stock rom and kernel from for my phone. I'm from Canada and using Virgin/Bell Mobile, so I tried looking up the CSC code and stuff. I stumbled upon http ://samsung-updates. com/device/?id=GT-I9100 (needed 10 posts and didnt want to just make random posts) but I have no idea which rom is the correct one. Would really appreciate some help with this (resources for stock roms+kernel) Could I use philz safe stock as a kernel? Christ I swear I used to know how to do all this.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure what you flashed because the international Galaxy S2 hasn't received any CM10.2 RC builds :P
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1kon:
yeah, my bad it turned out to be a nighty. I didnt read the list properly. lol
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1kon:
So I used the link you gave me to get it to GB stock rom+kernel (since I read intratechs stuff might not work). Then using KIES I got to 4.1.2. AT that point my firmware info changed from PDA:KG2/PHONE:KG2/CSC:KG2 (BMC) to PDA:MA5/PHONE:MA5/CSC:MA5(BMC). No idea what that means. Went to http://forum.xda-developers. com/showthread.php?t=1103399 to grab a rooted kernel with cwm. Then my phone just gets stuck in a boot loop or fails to launch. Tried siyah kernels v2 and v3, they fail (boot loops). Dorimanx just causes my phone to freeze midway between the samsung screen animation and the warning triangle.

Basically, Im stuck right now only being able to boot successfully to stock 4.1.2 un rooted. Any idea where to head from there?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Grift-:
So i would guess you want to get back onto a custom rom like CM? Just flash this version of dorimanx on your phone via odin and it should boot, 8.43 for samsung based roms you must use those that start with 8, e.g. 8.43 or 8.41 etc... Once you flash it you can now boot into CWM recovery and install CM as you always had.

PRESS THANKS IF I HELPED YOU:D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Onizuka:
Hi,

I'm using the Orb app from www.orb.com, which allows you to stream any media you have on you pc over the net. It allows me to stream my videos with wmp on my EXEC!!!!

However, here's the problem... The video is encoded by orb to a lower resolution than 640x480 and therefore cannot be displayed full screen in wmp.

I have 2 questions to hopefully give me a way of fixing my problem...

1. Is there any other media plyer for the exec that can play stream files?

2. If not, is there a way to modify wmp in any way with a reg/hex editor to make it display full screen?

cheers guys!!

P.S is there anyway to watch the stream from shoutcast tv in WINAMP on the Exec??
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ericblong:
what's the URL in WMP?

orb is awesome ... i'm using it to stream live tv to my laptop from my MCE server, but how do you get it to stream to the EXEC?

when i try, pvplayer intercepts the .sdp file and then buffers to give me a low res .3gp display ... which over Wifi is pretty poor. as usual, any help appreciated ...

TIA
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Onizuka:
you don't put any URL into wmp directly, you have to browse to my.orb.com in pocket IE and then browse to your videos and thn just select the file....wmp will open up automatically....

To make sure it opens your video in wmp, you have to go into the setup section on my.orb.com and make sure that windows media player is set as your favourite player.

Only the problem with that is, is that you can't full screen it! Can anyone help with my original question?

Must admit tho ORB is awesome!!

P.S do you connect via wifi??? If you do can you check and see if you can get the videos to stream with realone player....cos then you'd be able to get full screen. I don't have wifi yet so can't test....

Let me know if that works!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ericblong:
yup, selecting windows media worked fine - somehow i had expected the setting to be server side! sorry didn't get a chance to check out real player ... maybe later today.

ok, regarding resize problem in WMP mobile - this is a known bug and since WMP is in ROM, you'll need to wait for HTC to provide fix ... maybe!

in the meantime, you may want to install TCPMP http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/TCPMP-Download-29994.html

and do a reg hack to switch default player, as follows:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:WMPLAYER

change String 1

from wmplayer.exe

to

"\Program Files\TCPMP\player.exe"

or

"\Storage Card\Program Files\TCPMP\player.exe" if its installed on SD.

you will need at least version 0.71 o TCPMP which understands WMP10 http streams.

voila - full screen in landscape live streaming!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] eagle 1:
I also had this problem. TCPMP worked great, but I could not get it to be the default. Then I tried keying it in exactly as posted on another thread including the quotes and it has worked great.

It is nice to have full screen. I use it to watch cable TV via gprs and wifi using orb. And also to watch saved TV shows or DVD's. Too Bad WMP does not have full screen. WMP seems to work better over GPRS.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Silesian750:
It doesn't work on my MDA Pro. I have changed the string 1 like written above, but my defoult player is still WMP. I use TCPMP 0.71. Have tried program "My Extension" too, but WMP is still the defoult player. What culd be the reason?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ArgyleMoss:
After reading this thread ive downloaded ORB and got everything working but i want to use TCPMP as my default player (for full screen), but because im such a dummy i dont know how to do a reg hack. I have TCPMP already so can someone tell me where to start with this reg hack thing. Please Thankyou.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jwarbutron:
Thanks for the reg change. Just made the change exactly as posted above inlcuding the speech marks and it works great. ORB is a lot more useful with full screen video.

Have to make sure that you kill off media player before you test it either by a reset or some sort of task manager. Just using the X to close it isnt enough.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] simon_darley:
use phm (free) or by resco explorer to do the registry changes.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kshitiz.gautam:
The other day, I read a post by a user who lost his new Z1 in a shopping mall. So I just want to know, what would be the best app to track your Z1.

In India, I have preloaded apps like Mcafee Security, X Alert for Xperia, Android Device Manager. Also play market is flooded with many tracking apps. But my concerns are :

1) What if the Sim is changed ?

( since you don't have new no, you can't send sms commands..do we have a tracking app which can also notify the sim change)

2) What if GPS and 2G/3G connection are off ? ( I usually keep them off to slow battery drain)

3) What if the thief is a pro ( n also follows xda :laugh: ) and flashes a New rom.

I am ready to root my device for the sake of security and can also buy a pro version of any app to ensure safety.

P.S. : In India, you can easily lose a phone in metros, malls, buses etc. So believe me, I'm not paranoid :p my concerns are very much genuine.

I use Cerberus. You can use it on 5 of your devices for one license I think and it's cheap. It's also light, no anti virus bloat. Just tracking. Can monitor for sim changes. Also has root features like uninstall protection.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shem2409:
If you have root on your phone Avast has a really nice feature as it allows the Anti-theft to be installed in the root of your device. You can also prevent third-party from accessing the setting etc etc. + all the standard features. It is free so give it a shot.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djfuego:
No chance

Most anti theft software will work up until flashing or phone is put into airplane mode. What would be clever is if said anti-theft software turned off airplane mode to call home every hour or so. As most task schedulers need root to do this the only thing I can suggest is that you invest in a Bluetooth headset. Negating the need to take the phone out of a secure place in your pocket. Would you feel better losing a headset over a phone?

Google also provide anti data theft function to wipe the phone if you trust them.

Not sure if you have insurance in india but in the UK if you lose your phone. Just IMEI block it and make an insurance claim. At least the phone is not usable once you report it lost or stolen obviously other aspects can be used.

If you want security then encrypt your storage and pin and sim lock the phone. It's not perfect but if someone is hell bent on trying to get access to your data you have a better chance of wiping it before they can try to unlock. Don't know what the lifetime of decrypting a storage card is but there are some things you can do in Android that don't require extra apps.
