non root solution?

I am a long time graffitti user and unhappy that it doesn't work well on my LG G3. I'm excited by this solution, but concerned about rooting my phone. Will it mess up my Verizon service any? Is there another solution that doesn't require rooting?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Nephiel:
The only ways I can think of to fix Graffiti without the need to root, are:

1) Official app updates from Access Co. (sadly unlikely at this point).

2) Modifying the app directly (something the Graffiti EULA explicitly forbids).

Just rooting won't cause any trouble with service. However, it might void the warranty or insurance, and you probably won't be able to install official Android OS updates from LG or Verizon while the device is rooted.

graffiti window height please...

I use graffiti since apple newton! This is the only keyboard which allows to enter text without paying attention to the screen. One request - with the fix ON the text field i too high now - can you please make it selectable height or simply half and/or 2/3 of the full size- I have got used to the already narrow strip of standard graffiti used at full HD resolution

Thank You for the idea!

I am not advanced enough to do it myself unfortunately even if the sources are available..
[Xposed Framework Modules] Nephiel:
I can't build the module right now, but it should be enough to edit https://github.com/Nephiel/android-...hiel/graffitiheightfix/GraffitiHeightFix.java and change the lines

/*
* Consider a 480x800 px screen where Graffiti area is 232 px high,
* use the same aspect ratio for other resolutions.
*/
private static final double ASPECT_RATIO_PORTRAIT = 3.448; // (800/232) (approx.)
private static final double ASPECT_RATIO_LANDSCAPE = 2.069; // (480/232) (approx.)

to this for half-height

/*
* Consider a 480x800 px screen with a Graffiti area 116 px high,
* use the same aspect ratio for other resolutions.
*/
private static final double ASPECT_RATIO_PORTRAIT = 6.896; // (800/116) (approx.)
private static final double ASPECT_RATIO_LANDSCAPE = 4.137; // (480/116) (approx.)

or this for 2/3

/*
* Consider a 480x800 px screen with a Graffiti area 116 px high,
* use the same aspect ratio for other resolutions.
*/
private static final double ASPECT_RATIO_PORTRAIT = 5.161; // (800/155) (approx.)
private static final double ASPECT_RATIO_LANDSCAPE = 3.096; // (480/155) (approx.)

and recompile.

Adding a user-selectable setting would be a good solution, but that means adding a preference screen to the module - I don't know how to do that yet.
[Xposed Framework Modules] lukasz:
Hello! Thank You for the quick answer!

I will try to replace the text in the file, the only thing left is that I need to google "how to recompile" ;)

Sounds like you are missing the Android SDK and the XposedBridge API. You could start here https://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html

A good tutorial for creating Xposed modules is here https://github.com/rovo89/XposedBridge/wiki/Development-tutorial
[Xposed Framework Modules] lukasz:
I have installed android studio.... and went as far as opening modified copy of Your c:\temp3\src\net\nephiel\graffitiheightfix\GraffitiHeightFix.java

I have no experience with programming nor with compilation... I will read but this seems to be slightly complex to get it right.

No chances that You may have the chance to compile ? just in case - my email is: a64@interia.pl
[Xposed Framework Modules] Nephiel:
I have built two alternate versions of the module - one with a half-height text input area, and one with a 2/3rds height.

You can find them here:

Half-height version

2/3rds height version

Nothing else has changed other than the height difference and using an updated version of the Android SDK to build.

Please test and let me know if it doesn't work.
[Xposed Framework Modules] lukasz:
Thank You, It Works!

Thank You a lot for Your work! Fix works really well, for me 1/2 height is just perfect - slightly higher than the already reduced height Grafitti window on the Note 3. XDA developers allow great worldwide cooperation! Thank You for the clever concept and fixing one of the first text entry solutions for mobile devices!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Nephiel:
Just a heads up: ACCESS CO. recently released an official update for the Graffiti Pro app that addresses the height issue. So this module is no longer needed. :victory:

Apparently the ad-supported free version is gone and the Pro version is now available for free.
[Xposed Framework Modules] syncopath:
Since the Palm days, through my HTC Wallaby and on to my current Note GT-N7000, I was just fine with Graffiti, later Graffiti Pro.

For the last several years I have been aware that a new update of Graffiti Pro would saddle my poor Note with a HUGE (shouting capitals intended) Graffiti input screen blocking out nearly half of my Note's viewable area. Diligently I avoided updating, but now Google has suddenly forced an unwanted update on me, in spite of my having selected No Automatic Updates. And so I now have an unwanted HUGE (shouting capitals intended) Graffiti input area.

Can anyone help me with:

1) an .apk for the older Graffiti Pro version with normally sized input area;

2) a way of completely blocking unwanted app updates from Google?

Yes I hear all the approval of the new size from all the up-to-date owners of "huge" new 'phones - Note 9 and suchlike - but it is not fair to the likes of me who were just fine with their original Galaxy Notes, that we can't readjust our Graffiti back to what it was. Of course it (including Google forced update policy) is all intended to force us to buy ever bigger, faster and more expensive devices. I realise that.

And now that there is a wonderful new HUGE (shouting capitals intended) version from Access Co. on Google, your "Graffiti Height Fix" doesn't work any more.

Perhaps you could develop a fix for this?

Ironic footnote: one AdamOutler once flamed me in these very fora for advocating such a "large" phone as the GT-N7000! Wonder what he thinks of the Note 9!
[Xposed Framework Modules] syncopath:
Update: Praise be for Titanium Backup! I was able to restore my old version of Graffiti Pro from an earlier backup after deleting the unwanted update.

I also discovered that with a recent pretty turbulent and large (42 MB) update to Open Street Maps from Google Play, said software site had taken it upon itself to update all my settings to "Automatic Update". I have now switched off every option which includes the word "automatic", so we'll see how that goes.

I would still be interested to hear from any developer with ways to restrain Google's unbridled lust for making us automatically lay all we have bare to their thirst for control of and data from our systems, such as forced updates.

As for Graffiti Height Control, I would describe it as useless, and I defend that. I do not use the term in today's lazy postmillennial sense as a catch-all for "bad", but simply because GHC does not function in any way. After installation it does not show as an app. It offers no modification whatever to Graffiti Pro 1.0.5's settings, which are obsessed with all things Japanese but little else. I really don't need a Japanese dictionary; this is not a language I ever intend to use, certainly not with Graffiti.

"Graffiti Height Control" does nothing, it has no use, i.e. it is useless.

By way of historical info, back in the days of The O2 XDA (or HTC Wallaby), which is how this whole forum started, Graffiti was part of the accompanying Windows OS. In a comfortably proportionate size. The Wallaby included a pen built into the aerial.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Nephiel:
Graffiti Height Fix is a Xposed module that required Xposed to function, as it was clearly stated in this thread, in the Play Store app description, and in Xposed Repository.

But that is moot, since Access Co. updated Graffiti to address the height issue long ago, rendering this module unnecessary.

Windows never had Graffiti. It may have had a similar input method, but not the same. Graffiti was Palm OS only, Xerox patent shenanigans ensued, and finally Access Co. ended up with the rights.

I'm glad you found a solution that worked for you. Titanium Backup is a really useful tool indeed.
[Xposed Framework Modules] syncopath:
1. I have Xposed (for XPrivacy) but was still unable to do anything in the awful new version of Graffiti Pro about the excessive height.

2. Oh yes it did! If I could get it to start, I could show you my XDA from O2, running Windows Mobile, using Graffiti!

3. Titanium Backup is useful, but I am still scared that somehow I will lose my precious older version of Graffiti, which looks just as it did on Windows Mobile in 2002.

Re: Windows Mobile, when I get home in June 2019 I will try to reanimate my HTC Wallaby and send you a screenshot.

You may care to peruse the Wikipedia entry for Graffiti at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graffiti_(Palm_OS), where you will find the link you need on the words "Windows Mobile".
[Xposed Framework Modules] syncopath:
In the end I reinstalled the previous version of Graffiti Pro from the .apk and then deleted Google and Google services from my device. This stopped automatic update of Graffiti to the unwanted new version, freed up a whole lot of space, but also sadly cut me off from ever acquiring any more software from Google Play or whatever it is called nowadays on that GT-N7000 device. So be it then.

My one GT-N7000 is now suffering from recharging socket problems and is almost 10 years old, at which point I have promised myself a new 'phone as 10 years is the lifetime I consider I have a right to expect from a device so expensive and complicated as these.

So now I have purchased a second-hand Note 8 and am interested to see what I can do with it to extend my XDA experience. I sincerely hope "Knox Bit" will not destroy everything. Root privileges are essential to 50% of my programmes (sorry "apps").

@Nephiel, did you ever find the Windows Mobile OS I referred you to? You will see that Graffiti is much older than you may have realised.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Nephiel:
I did find it. It dates back to '94. Windows Mobile was called CE then. It may have had Block Recognizer, but not Graffiti, even if only in name.

Funny thing is, I got an iPaq Pocket PC myself (got it for free as a hand-me down) back then, and now that I think about it, it had a similar input method, but it wasn't enabled by default. I don't even remember actually using it.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Runarsson:
Have had bad experiences with cases where the magnets haven't cooperated and the auto-sleep feature has been less than convenient. The s pen hasn't worked correctly and sometimes the tablet has gone to sleep without me touching the power button... just because the case has been folded so that the magnet has been pressed to the back of the tablet. Cheap cases? I confess... yes they have been. But after the first one I didn't really want to risk buying a more expensive one just to end up sitting with the knife and cutting out the magnet again. So l bought another cheap one... to see if the first one had been a "bad luck buy". Well, it wasn't and the second one behaved the same way... and the third one too. Is this a typical "cheap case thing" or is it something you can expect also with the more expensive ones? The best thing would of course be if this was an optional feature... that you can disable. On my iPad it's optional with a switch in the settings. I haven't found something on the Note 10.1 though. So my questions are...

• IS this a typical "cheap case syndrome"?

• IS the function optional on the Note 10.1 2014? (Or can it be done in another way?)

/ Nick
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Orion116:
Firstly I have a book cover and have no trouble. I think it is a cheap case thing. Samsung official book cover has magnets in it and from what people say they have no issues with them. In settings there are an options for the book cover in accessories section try play with those settings.

BTW: the name of my case is Snugg it was $18.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Runarsson:
Funny thing... maybe something I should keep to myself. But what the heck. Noone here knows me anyway. I found the option now... and not only that. I had actually turned it off. I must have done it by mistake while looking for it, because I sure can't remember ever finding it. Blind or senile. I must be at least one of them. LOL

But out of curiosity. I gather it must be some kind of sensor in that area since l was moving the cover's magnet area around and when it came close to that area it turned off without the screen being covered. Does that setting control the function or does it control the sensor itself? (If it only controls the function, the S Pen would still have behaved weird. around that area.)

Well, thank you anyway. Now I don't have to wonder about the setting anymore. Now I'm more worried about how come I never found it myself. l thought I had looked everywhere... including that area. But now I found it instantly. Far from hidden (even in a settings group with the NAME 'Book cover'). Maybe time for the annual doctor's checkup. :)

enalarm

hi found this on another forum the problem is it is on a warez site but i think it is freeware i can pm the link to you if you wish to look at

Requirements: Windows Mobile 5.0 or Windows Mobile 2003 SE

Overview: The MP3 alarm clock for Windows Mobile 5.0 and Windows Mobile 2003 SE is now available in the version 3.2.4 featuring even more new incredible functions.

Features:

The build in alarm clock of Windows Mobile lacks in functionality and usability. That is where enAlarmPPC 3.2.4 takes place. With this program you can set multiple alarms with their own playlist of MP3, WAVE, Windows Media or Midi files. An alarm can be set to start daily at a given time or periodicly at selected weekdays.

Particularly the snooze function of the build in alarm is extremly poorly. With enAlarmPPC the snooze delay can be set indivually. With a simple tap on the screen the snooze function is activated and the playlist continues after the set time.

The ingenious quiz function prevents late riser from activating the snooze function too often while in doze. After a configurable amount of snooze activations the quiz starts. Now it is not possible to activate snooze again until one has solved a simple (but with times increasing difficulty) math calculation. That way the brain needs to at least for short work active and so the wake up process is initiated.

Further it was concidered that the sound files are faded in when played, so the user will not affright when an loud starting sound is played.

Last but not least a title and a message can be entered for any alarm which is largely displayed on the screen when the alarm starts.

Available Languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Turkish

Version History v3.2.4: new functions:

- The current time is now displayed on the main screen.

- A warning will be shown if no sound file is selected.

- A button to test an alarm added.

Hi,

I just tried the enAlarmPPC and would like to uninstall it. No problem except now that every time I do a soft reset, I would get an error message saying that it can find the enAlarmPPC.exe.

How can I fix it? Where can I edit the AutoStart list?

P.S. I am running Sprint Mogul WM6

Thanks!

I've got a question with the native Screen Mirroring feature. On my Note PRO it just works. I connect to all my devices painlessly. Picked up the Note 4 last week and I have been unsuccessful in connecting it to -any- of my devices. I always get the message that it failed, and on the device it shows "connecting" but eventually times out.

I can use AllCast and Chromecast, no problem...Just unable to mirror my screen!

Anyone else having this issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ThenewzzZZ:
Cast Screen.

Chromecast app has the Note 4 enabled for Cast Screen.

Just open the app and the option should be on the left menu.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ExtremeRyno:
Which is fine if a Chromecast is available, but is there a solution regarding the native mirroring feature found on the device? Say I'm at work and need to connect to a projector using screen mirroring and the projector doesn't have an input for a Chromecast. Maybe at my friend's house and trying to connect to his bluray... See what I mean?

I only had problems on the Pro after rooting (until a fixed kernel was released). It seems strange that a factory stock device would have the same problem. I have done a factory reset, but the issue persists.
