It doesn't have a voice-input button on it, does it? If not, that's a deal breaker for me.

I am the Senior QA Engineer at Swype. A voice-input button is a sorely missing feature for us too. We are looking at what it would take for us to integrate a feature like that, but we don't have any time frame for when that might happen yet. If you would like to see that feature developed more quickly, please give us feedback on the Swype Forums.

i received the email and clicked the link from my phone but it doesn't recognize my device as an Android device. is this because i'm not using the Stock Nexus One ROM (e.g., i'm using a custom ROM)? thanks in advance for your answer.
Oh they made typing in landscape easier... Or more so better. I like it, and I never exactly hated it either.
Oh it seems they made typing without swyping easier altogether, I typed this entire post with swype. Good job! Loveee it..

I dont know if my opinion will matter, but im typing in landscape with very minimal mistakes, without even having to Swype! Im gonna go off a limb here and say this is definetly better the stock keyboard.
The bad thing is though, it doesn't have auto correction with just normally typing.. (big downer) but the accuracy is so good it can kinda be rarely needed. I believe that still should have been an inclusion.. Though.
Edit: yes it does looked in settings.. Lol

Oh this is so awesome! Downloaded and installed without a glitch. Will start to try out typing on this.

The battery on my car was dead, and yesterday I planned to rplace it with a new one... However, in my garage the lighting is awful, and I could'nt find the screws and bolts... ended up calling the mechanics, to come and boost my battery....

Yes, I get that as well. Couldn't say why, but it's not a "deal-breaker" for me, I'm still going to continue to play with this very cool k-board.
Man! This is almost a win. It doesnt vibrate on keypress. For some reason, my thumbs need that tactile sensation. Hopefully someone can fix this.

Great Keyboard. No problems with key formatting on my Droid Inc.
Takes up a lot of space in landscape mode. I'll use it for a while to see how it works, but on first inspection, it looks just as useable as the HTC IME.

Love the keyboards. Any chance you could make a fix for the & key on the one available in this thread?
I think that I posted in this thread when this k-board just came out. I've been using it non-stop ever since and have no inkling of returning to the original.
I've been using the keyboard for a few weeks and while I like the size of the keys and the overall function of the keyboard I'm going to be moving away from it. I've gotten pretty fast on the soft keyboards and I noticed I began making way more typos with this keyboard than the stock keyboard or a couple others I have tried. The problem seems to be that in my haste I am pressing and releasing keys almost at the same moment and this keyboard doesn't like that. It will either only pick up one key, or in my case usually just ignore both and pick up the third key. I noticed a comment about my issue in the Droid X multi touch keyboard post in the dev forum.
It seems this is by design but it is a deal breaker for me since I ended spending more time having to go back and correct all my messages so they made sense. If this can be corrected, I would immediately switch back. Hope this helps someone else because it was driving me crazy.
hi.
i've just published my first android app in the market: HiddenMenus.
well, it is actually one of the simplest application ever, it lists some hidden tasks/activities like "checkin" (*#*#2432546#*#*) and "info" (*#*#4636#*#*), extremely useful for gingerbread upcoming ota!
since i am a nexus one owner, i just know its codes. feel free to suggest other devices shortcuts.
for any bugs or "force close" it is better a useful reply here rather than a negative comment on the market.
[update] WARNING: some entry might not work depending on the device/rom
thanks to all.
Nice idea!
Nice little app.

[XPosed Mod] HiGoogle - "Hi Galaxy" phrase opens Google Now instead of S-Voice
I present to you: my first ever XPosed Mod HiGoogle!
It's really my first original android app. The first one I didn't follow some sort of tutorial to make anyways. It opens Google Now natively when you say "Hi Galaxy" instead of the crappy S-Voice app. It took me forever to get this done, but in the end I learned a ton about how both Android and XPosed work. :good: So w00t for me, :good: chalk that one up as a personal accomplishment.
Anyways, it still needs S-Voice to run. S-Voice is what controls the always listening feature of the phone. in the future I plan on changing that, and perhaps changing the trigger phrase as well (fingers crossed!) So while we can't get rid of S-Voice yet, this removes the need to use a middle-man app like tasker to open it, which in the end, makes things a hair faster (and $6 cheaper.) I think we can all agree that faster is better.
So while it's not the perfect solution yet, it's a move in the right direction and hopefully more will come of it.
This has only been tested on 2 Notes so far, a T-Mo and a VZW, but it should work on any Samsung with 'Hi Galaxy" always listening support. I'm personally on version 11.2.2.0 of S-Voice but I'm not sure if that matters. Report any issues or and I will try to deal with them as fast as I can.
It's not my fault if you break stuff.

No, currently it just opens Google Now over SVoice, as SVoice is what controls the service that listens for commands. I'll look into that though it's a good idea, I may be able to kill the app but leave the service running.
oh so sad so so sad... i thougth you are a magician and managed to change the Voice recognition phrase...The developer Skilllevel for that is like getting knox from 0x1 to 0x0....from what i've heard
There are already apps for your purposes. I use S for Switch Voice
But thank you very much for your developing and sharing. :good:
Instead you maybe could try to get the "OK Google" command working for German and every other language. Because when google fails with recognition you have to grab your phone and tap on the mic button or wait until the screen shuts down. It is only possible when Google now language is english. This is something which really annoyes...

That all depends. I found some type of file that looks like it might be some kind of a raw audio or a wav file possibly. I'm digging deeper into Samsung's code whenever I have time trying to understand what's going on. I'm gonna have to keep studying before I can get to that point, but I think that will be part of the natural progression of the updates to this app. Has Chainfire done any work on this?

No not that i've heard of. Today i recognized that the "Google Now launcher" works with "OK Google" in german. So maybe you can find something when making a code comparison to use the OK Google command no matter how your phone and or googles now language is...

As of now, overhead.
This mod will rid you of one extra service running on your phone compared to those other apps. If all you want is Google Now instead of S-Voice then this is probably the better solution. If you want a bunch more options, use one of those other apps. I have more plans for the future but I was super excited to release my first contribution to the community :victory:
I think is a great idea. I for one have been using an app called S for Switch Voice that overrides SVoice and launches Google Now. It works great and dont have any problems and doesn't cause much or at the very least battery drain. But im willing to try this.

Perhaps a noob question but I figured I might as well ask before trying it and messing something up.
Is there a Google Now Launcher APK that's been confirmed to work on the G3? all the APKs I find are in articles and links from months ago and I just want to have the most recent information and APK(s) available.
Loving the G3 just would like Google Now Launcher and preferably the n5 dialer/camera apps. If all this is located somewhere and I'm just being an idiot, please point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
