Edit tool - EVO 4G Themes and Apps

I was just looking at a friends Droid pro and it had an editing tool that if you held you finger over text it would blow up so you could move the cursor where you wanted like ios. Is this a new app or a new one? Would love to have it for editing text.
I believe he had the Droid pro on a pre-release.

Sense can it does that is just diferent and needs tone redifined IMO but it works mostly in browser (for some reason not text msg and is limited to gmail ) and when you highlight the word in the browser a little option will appear the first one is to copy, and the loop is too search it and the last one is share

[Q] Simple Text Box Widget?

Does anyone know of a simple "text box" widget that allows you to post a word or two, similar to minimalistic text but instead of the time, just whatever you want.

Not quite what I'm looking for.
Minimalistic Text has a static text option if you make a custom layout and look under misc.

What "notepad" do you guys use ?

Just a quick notes app that i can easily put reminders and stuffs in. Better if it can be synced somewhere.
Maybe Evernote?
I use Catch Notes.... have the widget on my home screen..... comes in super handy....

Catch Notes for me.
Mobisle Notes is the best notepad IMO. Try it out, free in the market.
I use the one preinstaled on my Fascinate.
Note Everything.
Tons of options, yet still simple. Great widgets, post-its, shortcuts.

I was an evernote fan on my desktop long before I got an android, and the android app for it is very nice as well.

Another vote for Catch notes (or AK Notepad same dev, but different UI - only text notes vs image/voice/text notes in Catch) which supports syncing to catch.com.
I use the very simple Epistle which is really great with it's dropbox sync
Mobilism notes, because:
- i can use checkboxes (with reminders)
- I can use indents or subnotes
- put notes on the homescreen as widgets (even edit checkboxes from the homescreen)
- automatically sync with google docs (so i can edit the notes on my computer in google docs).
Another good app that I use is: "QuickNote Notepad Notes"
AK notepad looks good. might try it out.
There's a built in text editor in explorer and root explorer. I used to use other apps but those can serve two functions so why not use it? I don't need anything fancy.
i dont really need one but i use jorte because it was the first one i saw and i think it syncs with this calendar im bout to start using
I use ColorNote, been using since. I got my android phone a few years back now. It backs up messages easy to work with and has a few nice features and its free. Check it out

Text to voice

Hello, has anyone seen an TTS app that runs in the background, where you can long press or open a menu option to speak whatever is on your screen. Would also like one that will read all my gReader feeds, one after another. The only thing I have been able to find is PDF or cut and past. Maybe I'm being too wishful.

XDA App - Enhancement/s ideas???

Hi All,
I've been quite closely following Alterbridge and his Overcome GB custom rom, and since i travel around alot, its been so worth my while following it through the XDA app.
The app itself is clean, no extra fuss, and gives exactly what you ask for. What i'm driving at here is, do you feel its missing anything? Maybe we can get the developer to join us and see if they like our ideas and possibly add them to the app.
i'll go first - i think the option to THANK someone in the forums, if they helped you in any way could possibly be added to the menu (for me in android, its long-pressing menu drop-down on a specific post )
The app itself is VERY similar to Tapatalk but its missing one of my must-have features. I would love there to be a "dark" theme that uses white text and a black background instead of black text and a white background. Just something to think about.
xda app
i still can't figure out how to post with it
Search function, being able to see the smileys instead of text wrapped in colons, ability to re-arrange the order of the favorites list, and the ability to attach files other than images.
I use the XDA app alot, probably more than I visit XDA on my PC, so I guess the little things that the tapatalk app don't do tend to bug me a little after awhile lol.

There is an option to use different themes. Press menu/more/settings/display style. And you want the simple theme.

Any app that can remember phrases, sentences, etc?

I want to be able to use a gesture / shortuct to be able to paste a remembered phrase or sentence. Does this exist?
I'm using CM9 and the stock messaging app I'm using has the feature. If i go in the app, and go to setting s, it's at the bottom under sms template. It will allow me to make a gesture path and attach whatever phrase or sentence i want by making the gesture on top of the messages. For instance i use an 'L' gesture to send my wife a quick 'i love you'. Hope that helps!

I wanna be able to use this in emails though too and forums.
As far as my knowledge goes, that's the only thing I've found that does that. At least that is one thing you can use it for! :-D

Not exactly... but Clip Ninja (paid -- around $1.45) is a sort of Textarea Cache/Lazarus for Android. Anything you've typed (except passwords) is saved for 7 days by default. You can star stuff to keep it. Then you can paste it into anything. Not via gestures though, but the app resides in your notifications, so you can get to it easy enough.
Multi Ling keyboard from the play store has an add-on called auto-text, where e.g. BB automatically inserts be right back. And you can define your own abbreviations and texts/phrases. But you'll have to use the keyboard in order to get it working.

SwiftKey keyboard has this.. Kinda..
It learns your speech patterns and then suggests the most common words you typically use...
I'm my text message app before I type anything it offer "hey" then the choice of "dude" or "love". As I usually start texts like this to my buds or my wife.
I can send texts without "typing" a single word... It also works in a lot of other apps like xda premium
