Make LaunchKey work with Jelly Bean

Jelly Bean changes the activities for the voice-key (long-press search-key) and tries to map everything to Google Now. LaunchKey no longer shows in the list because it doesn't register itself as a voice activity. This is a pain but there is a work-around. I originally wrote this up on droidrzr.com but I can't post a direct link on XDA (noob). The original thread is here:

www_droidrzr_com/index.php/topic/6113-jelly-bean-launchkey-substitute (replace _ with .)

Details:

You'll need Tasker and Secure Settings Pro...

Secure Settings can hook the Google Now activity and can be selected as the default activity for voice activities. It will appear in the app picker for the Voice-Key if you can clear it from Google Now or direct your Home launcher to use it (Homesmack will do this by clearing the default).

From there you can create a Tasker profile to catch the Secure Settings / Google Now state and create a task to invoke LaunchKey.

You can't just launch LaunchKey as a regular app as this will give you its Settings screen rather than the App Launcher screen. Again Secure Settings provides a work-around for this: Use Launch Activity from the Secure Settings Plugin rather than launching an app, Then choose LauchKey as the app and then .Redirect as the activity. This will launch LaunchKey's app launcher window. Whalla, you can now do whatever you want with your Voice-Key.

Hope this helps

hello

does anyone know if the phone support hebrew?
[HD7 General] colonel:
for full support 3 things are required:

1. See Hebrew fonts (can anyone with an HD7 browse www.maariv.co.il and see what comes up ?)

2. Have a Hebrew keyboard

3. Hebrew menus

Bit of a mixed picture here, IOS 4.x has stepped up with 1&2 and 3 if your location is Israel. Android still needs to be rooted and hebrew fonts installed which is disappointing. Hopefully Windows Phone 7 will step up.

hai any abody can confirm that

Dell will push Google's Android 2.2 OS to its Streak handheld devices in a matter of "weeks," a company executive said this week.
[Streak 5 General] checkbox111:
It says 'a matter of weeks' not 2 weeks, i was expecting to be out well before christmas anyway to help sales figuers.
[Streak 5 General] ipguy:
I like to fart in shoeboxes :-)

Point taken, i stand corrected
[Streak 5 General] checkbox111:
There's a world of difference between 'a matter of weeks' and '2 weeks' and one is set defined with the number 2 the other could mean any number of weeks.

I don't know where in the world you are but there's a big thing in the UK at the moment with broadband companies quoting 'up to' in their specification.

eg: 'up to 8mb a second' the fact is it's perfectly legal as it states 'up to' and carries no defined number, like 'a matter of' for example.

Like the word 'several' :rolleyes: like i had sex several times last week :) now that could mean three or twenty three couldn't it :rolleyes:

Now the word 'couple' is completely different altogether, if you say 'i had sex a couple of times last week' then of course that means twice, because of the global association of the word 'couple' with the number two.

Now if i said 'i had sex with a couple last week' that throws up all soughts of figures and other stuff which we shall not go into here.

So if the quote was '2.2 released in a couple of weeks' rather than '2.2 released in a matter if weeks' now you see the difference.
[Streak 5 General] ronj1986:

Since this thread is already filled with snarky nitpickings, I would like to comment that perhaps this is more of an issue with word choice than of grammar.

[Streak 5 General] me4tux:
I am definitely getting a Dell Streak when it ships with Froyo. I have some questions that I hope may be answered:

1) Is the Froyo update delivered via download (How large is the ROM download?) or will Dell also ship the Streak "pre-loaded" with Froyo assuming it becomes generally available?

2) I read somewhere that Froyo has the app that can configure the Dell Streak (or perhaps any phone running Froyo) to be running as a MiFi (personal wifi router) plus the ability to tether via USB. Is this all true with the Dell Streak on Froyo?

3) Can someone explain to me where to configure within Froyo, to change APN settings for data access to a Carrier? i.e. I am currently on a grandfathered AT&T MediaNet Unlimited data for $15/month. When I buy the Streak (non-subsidized), I plan to continue to use my existing data plan, so I have to configure the APN within Froyo. Can anyone help point out to me where to do this?

4) I happen to also read somewhere that AT&T has the ability to "filter" IMEI numbers (they do this to iPhones), presumably including the Dell Streak IMEI strings, so there is a risk that they will do to Dell Streak owners (Those without a valid data plan). Question is, will buying a Dell Streak from overseas, say from the UK or Europe or even Asia, prevent me from being filtered by AT&T ?

I do apologize for all the questions.... but I hope some of you can help alleviate my concerns...

Looking fwd to being a new owner of the Dell Streak with Froyo of course...

Cheers!
[Streak 5 General] checkbox111:
Well there won't be 2 launchers if 2.2 looks like that as the default launcher would suffice.

That's one of the best things about adding another launcher is that icon rows and columns can be adjusted to personnel preferences.

Of the three weeks that i've had this launcher installed, i never noticed that :rolleyes:
[Streak 5 General] Lord60:
Since checkbox111 was so eloquent with his description of the finer things when it comes to an assumption of time... I thought I would share my "default values" along with it. A matter of weeks, to me, indicates it would be less than a month, since 4 weeks is the standard for what makes up a month. otherwise, they should have said "in a matter or a month or more" or something to that effect. Either way, another day is far too long as this device should have come with the updated OS at launch. but you already knew that
[Streak 5 General] da_jojo:
well according to some Dell representative back in may it supposed to be rolled out to public in november, so he could be right. The official Dell forum states that the update being rolled out "before the end of the year and before christmas" and that it be "a matter of weeks" . So when we put this all together we can expect our upgrade within a month time hopefully.

I found somewhere that the dell streak has 2 sdhc slots and so capable of 64gb of internal storage. culprit here is that it needs some tweaking for it to be "seen" by the android os. Hopefully this is fixed in the new upgrade.
[Streak 5 General] vikramdhani:
Wonder when will the new update will be out ? i hope dell keeps their word and will deliver as promised
[Streak 5 General] HansTWN:
I think "marketing speak" is the fine art of sugar coating the truth (and not always matches up with what we common folk would take that phrase in question to mean), and a few weeks always sounds better than 1-2 months. Anyway, 2.1 is running well, and we have Steve's 2.2 to play around with. I am not complaining.
[Streak 5 General] checkbox111:
Would somebody point out why there's such a fervour when it comes to this update, all that will happen is that uses will download flash 10.1 then start complaining that all there data is used up and how their battery never lasts anymore :rolleyes:

In day to day usage i haven't seen any difference at all from 1.6 to 2.1.

I installed another launcher which looks great IMO (uses more battery)

Installed Dolphin HD, good ad-ons (but is a lot slower than standard browser and uses more battery)
[Streak 5 General] p51d007:
Faster than WinMo 6.5x

LOL, I was a little late to the Android party...only had this beast a few weeks, but even with the 1.6 OS, it's LIGHTYEARS faster than my faithfull HTC Touch Pro2,

with a custom OS, and a days worth of tweaking.

I haven't modded anything, and out of the box it is faster than WM.
[Streak 5 General] technillion:
I agree 100%...

Coming from a HD2 as a 10+ year long faithful WinCE, PPC, WinMo user, my first Android device--The Streak has impressed the SNOT out of me! Very fast and reliable with not even a single mod yet...and tremendously loving the free apps in Android Market! WinMo 7 will need to really knock me out to win his starting position back! :D
[Streak 5 General] borijess:

Same here...started with a Handspring Visor, Palm 130, then made the switch to the original Dell Axim...PPC, WimMo and even with all the tweaking it's a constant reboot daily. I've only rebooted my streak once. And when you get a new "toy"

you know how much you install/remove stuff ;)

will the 2.2 update come out in nov for the uk too? I had to download the 2.1 and place it on sd card and install it will i still be able todo the 2.2 ota?

I totally agree me and the mrs switched from touch hd. She went for.samsung galaxy and i went for the streak. Both devices are smooth fast and rock solid. I will certainly stick with android in future.
[Streak 5 General] me4tux:
Bump~ Can anyone help with some answers? pointers?

My apologies for bumping my own thread, but could someone help me with my questions? Pls let me know if it needs to go into another thread or equivalent...

Thanks in advance. I am also waiting for the Dell Streak, hopefully shipped and preloaded with Froyo direct from Dell.com
[Streak 5 General] Kohawk09:
I'll take a stab...

1) Is the Froyo update delivered via download (How large is the ROM download?) or will Dell also ship the Streak "pre-loaded" with Froyo assuming it becomes generally available?

Based on how the official 2.1 update was, it will not be preloaded. You'll have an OTA update which should be dummy proof (once you start it, it should run itself). This is pure speculation, no official communications have been released about the official update. Just going by how the 2.1 went.

2) I read somewhere that Froyo has the app that can configure the Dell Streak (or perhaps any phone running Froyo) to be running as a MiFi (personal wifi router) plus the ability to tether via USB. Is this all true with the Dell Streak on Froyo?

Almost positive Froyo supports wifi hotspot(MiFi as you called it) as well as USB tethering. I've read that the un-official streak 2.2 supports USB, but they're having issues with the wifi tethering.

3) Can someone explain to me where to configure within Froyo, to change APN settings for data access to a Carrier? i.e. I am currently on a grandfathered AT&T MediaNet Unlimited data for $15/month. When I buy the Streak (non-subsidized), I plan to continue to use my existing data plan, so I have to configure the APN within Froyo. Can anyone help point out to me where to do this?

Why would you need to do this? I believe it should just pick this up? Only time i've heard of this being needed is when upgrading to the unofficial 2.2

4) I happen to also read somewhere that AT&T has the ability to "filter" IMEI numbers (they do this to iPhones), presumably including the Dell Streak IMEI strings, so there is a risk that they will do to Dell Streak owners (Those without a valid data plan). Question is, will buying a Dell Streak from overseas, say from the UK or Europe or even Asia, prevent me from being filtered by AT&T ?

The only IMEI's I have heard that are blocked are the beta streaks. But, I don't know why you would want an over seas streak (I assume you are in US)? You won't get 3g on AT&T if you don't use the AT&T streak, all others have the wrong frequencies. They can pick up your data plan, but you mentioned you have teh grandfathered data plan, so you shoudn't be worried??
[Streak 5 General] cue_32:

Based on experience with Official Froyo on Nexus One, YES... Wifi Hotspot and USB work very well on it.

3) Can someone explain to me where to configure within Froyo, to change APN settings for data access to a Carrier? i.e. I am currently on a grandfathered AT&T MediaNet Unlimited data for $15/month.

Settings\Wireless & Networks\Mobile Networks\Access Point Names

But you can 'Search Networks' and see if it picks up automatically first.

Agree with Kohawk
[Streak 5 General] kantras:
Just as a warning - I was on the MediaNet Unlimited data package when I moved over to my Dell Streak. The next day I received an SMS from AT&T advising me that, since I had a recognised Smartphone, I was being automatically upgraded to the 2Gb Smartphone data package. The MediaNet Unlimited data package was only designed to support non-smartphones.
[Streak 5 General] marksm:
Did you upgrade through AT&T or buy the phone? I've been running an HTC HD on my medianet plan for almost 2 years.
[Streak 5 General] kantras:
I bought it directly from Dell, I had signed up for the pre-launch event. My last phone was a Nokia N97, and had been using that on MediaNet for at least a year.
[Streak 5 General] Wokerz:
sorry to bother you all, but i didt want you to miss my post and im still unsure what will happen

thanks
[Streak 5 General] Super Chimp:
Can I back up your post & also ask if the UK will get the 2.2 update this month?
[Streak 5 General] Kohawk09:
No one even knows if ANYONE will get the update this month. No official communications have been released. The only official communication is before the end of this year and a couple weeks back they said "in a matter of weeks". And I haven't heard/read if it's a global rollout or phased. Right now your guess is as good as anyone else.
[Streak 5 General] Kohawk09:
Since your on the official 2.1 (unofficial shouldn't make a difference either) you should be fine. My understanding is the updates look at your beseband, which for 2.1 shouldn't be any different for you than it was on 1.6.

Where it is different is for those in the US who had to change their beseband to a UK one to get 2.x . The question is will they have to roll back to the US beseband to get the official update? Only time will tell.
[Streak 5 General] xilpaxim:
You should be able to call AT&T and make them roll back your plan. Since you are no longer on contract you are not under an obligation to let them change your terms like that. They send out that SMS hoping people won't call in and complain.
[Streak 5 General] Super Chimp:
Even by the standards of these things Dell seem to be rather playing the cards close to their chest on this.
[Streak 5 General] dwboston:
That's not true. Data plans are a feature, not part of a contract. AT&T changed the smartphone data plan policy last year, and grandfathered in people who were using MediaNet on smartphones at the time. But switching to a new AT&T smartphone device triggers the SMS and the forced change to a smartphone data plan. It sucks, but they are within their rights to do it.
[Streak 5 General] marksm:
That means there's no reason for me to pay full price for the phone and just get the upgrade price. The price difference from medianet to another data plan will just about make up the difference anyway.
[Streak 5 General] Kohawk09:
http://twitter.com/#!/stephenjatdell

We're getting closer... unfortunately no word on a US release. Wonder if AT&Ts making things difficult. That'd be my guess.
[Streak 5 General] da_jojo:
official statement was made in may that US release of android 2.1 was coming and it was available but withdrawn cause of too much bugs and usercomplaints. it was thereafter stated that dell was going to release android 2.2 to all US customers but there was not spoken of a EU release of 2.2. I think this is the first 'official statement' that it comes to EU devices as well (not that that was in doubt)

"It's official Android 2.2 update is coming to all EU Dell Streaks, including O2 via OTA. More details to follow! #dellstreak

about 9 hours ago via web "
[Streak 5 General] Kohawk09:
I like your logic. That makes a lot of sense. They really hadn't announced it for EU streaks.
[Streak 5 General] da_jojo:
well thank you :)
