[DEV-ONLY] IME in Landscape not to use full screen

While playing with android today, I discovered something in the docs which people have been looking for. (I remember there was a thread on this few days ago but couldn't find it now. :S) The docs tells you how to make the IME not cover the fullscreen.
Picture speaks a thousand words:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The decision is controlled by the App, the TextView itself by specifying android:imeOptions.
See here: http://developer.android.com/resources/articles/on-screen-inputs.html (Ctrl+F: flagNoExtractUi)
I hope this helps the devs.

You realize this is up to the developer of every single application that you use. I know some of our local wiz devs can whip this into the stock open sourced apps, such as the browser (please!) and messaging. However, for 3rd party apps it is going to rely on the developers seeing this thread, taking interest in this idea, and implementing it.
So... you have an app you use, point your developers to this thread and ask for some love.

daveid is right.
The picture above is a quick hack on my Mms.apk. However, I do think it's possible to make it a default behavior. Need someone to force this to always on in the framework. That's dirty hack though, at least to me.

I remember there was a thread on this few days ago but couldn't find it now. :S

You were probably referring to my post. I knew I should have posted it in the dev section. My thread is of people saying they want it but with no progress. good job tho. hopefully we will start to see a fix.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=666990
well you said that the app is what follows this restriction; to make it always use fullscreen. what if we just remove the feature from the IME.apk all together? is the noextract cmd written within the IME? if so we can make the app have to use the non full screen mode. perhaps set the parameters to zero on IME so fullscreen can never be called upon. just a thought. don't know that much about this stuff. could u share exactly what you did to make this work? just insert the noextract value in the apk and resign?

Or up to the devs of IME's to simulate that flag always being set. I'm looking into it in my mod anyway.

[Q] Mask your OS with Social Networking

So this is pretty random and I've done some searches and can't seem to find anything, probably because no one would care enough to do something like this besides me.
The problem: I'm a MS consultant and am tired of hearing **** from my WP7 friends and colleagues.
The ask: Is there a way to mask/disguise/FAKE the OS I have when working with social networking sites? Primarily Facebook for now, you know the "sent via Windows Phone" or "posted by HTC Sense", "Android", etc.
Anyone know how to change/hack/tweek that without changing phones/OS's entirely?

You could just post from their mobile sites and it will say posted from _____ mobile. You can also post from the main site from your phone and it's like posting from your computer.
I know this isn't really what you asked at all, but it will help with your issue.

Caring about being made fun of by windows fanboys for using a linux based phone to me is like caring about being made fun of because you dont huff fumes from an aerosol can. Always annoys me that some group or person can be so blinded to see that there is more than one alternative that works for people and it doesnt always come from the same source
Some applications let you remove that signature or set what it says. However, the easiest solution would be not to use the application and use the browser in the site. If they dont let you set it, then you have to modify the apk or modify the build.conf file in /system (which may or may not mess things up for other applications that depend on that). It's most likely picking up the make/model from that.
If it bothers you that much, you probably need new friends and ignore the coworkers you have to see regardless. Your current ones suck and have drank the koolaid.
Your problem also reminded me of the following penny arcade comic (ignore the phones in question, just the general overtone of the comic is what is related):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

I guess I should have clarified. I'd love nothing more than my posts to start saying Windows Phone and seeing their false appreciation and excitement only to see me still rocking my TB with CM once I actually see them.
Was just a question, thought maybe someone else might have had some hack to alter it somehow.

Ah okay, you just want to one up them in a slightly smartass way . Generally as mentioned, it's just a setting in apps you can change, at least for things like email clients, but you probably looked in whatever you are using already.

Yeah, primarily it's the Android Facebook app for statuses and photo uploading. I wouldn't have the slightest idea on where to start in tweeking anything in it. Naturally I think the settings in the app wouldn't allow me to change that.

I had the free apk saved from a backup, check out the above link

Finalllllllllly
Great Work
Thanx

This is a bit disappointing. I wish this app could do more tasks like Text, Email, etc. Frankly, I dont find this app as useful as Siri. Hopefully it will get better.

Yeah, this seems somewhat limited compared to Siri since being able to launch other activities is half the point

Thanks for this! Saw the same article but couldn't find it in the market.

Its a third party app. It cant integrate with system apps unless implemented in a ROM. Thats why you dont have support for alarms, calendars etc

Yeah I am sorry but this is nothing like siri but rather the same exact app the iPhone has had for the last few years called the same name

i didnt see it in the market because i was using a rom with a modem that is not official.
just changed the modem name to the latest official in build.prop
and there it is in the market again, along with a few app updates

Thanks for sharing the apk... Well it has a long way to go before it can actually be closer to SIRI but hey we all need to give enough feedback to set it right.
Also was wondering about google's Majel

does anyone have the latest update for this?
I installed the one linked from this thread when it first came out (thanks) and there was an update to 1.1.1 a few days ago, but I cant update mine on the market as its not supported in the UK yet.
can you link the apk if you do please?
Thanks.

Hey guys
What about using Market unlocker to change market region to US, download app and then change back to your local market?

All in 1 Game Portal

Interesting little app that I found by accident on the market while looking for apps late one night. As i downloaded the app I did notice it had some crazy permissions "system_alert_window,read_phone_state,access_coarse_location" which I denied with lucky patcher. Just a heads up to anyone who download's the app to do hahaha. Now to the app in a nutshell its a easy way to find and download classic games really nice looking UI too, so far I've seen Super Mario Bros., Final Fight, Mega Man and my favorite metal slug 2 just to name a few. They claim its over 1000+ games but I don't think so, but theres variety. This app is more so for people who just want to play now without all the hassle because it pretty much does it all for you, just find a game, then download it and play nothing else is needed. Also for my Xperia Play Fam!!!! :good: When you start up a game just map the buttons really easy, then tap the semi clear keyboard on your in-game screen to hide the onscreen keyboards then your set. Enjoy!
Below are screenshots.

this was posted like a month ago.
and the thread was... uh.. Deleted. i don't know why but i became suspiscious i uninstalled the app

I downloaded this app some week ago and it's just amazing!! I can play Street Fighter 2, R-Type, Metal Slug, Riden, and so much other old games!! The server ia unbelievable fast for download and the list of games availables is constantly updating, this app is simply all that what you need if you love gaming and don't like to wait a download of massive sd card data.
Just install the Happy Bay, search for your favorite gamr, download it and that's it! All in less than 5minutes!!! The pad is so easy to configure, the app is simply awesome!!:good:

I wonder how long it will take for google to gank this off the play store, since its essentially a ROM distribution platform with built in emulators.

Who knows cause its all free but if it does the developer of the app has a site for the .apk
Ive been running some test on the overall of the app, for security reason will do a follow up soon

Great! Was looking for something like this. thanks for sharing.

Tried it out, I like it but do not love it, simply because there is is some lag and sound stuttering. I know I should`nt have really high expectations, but personally I would prefer a proper emulator on my phone and know I`m getting the best my phone can provide me.
If I`m making no sense blame my beer lol

Seems ok. If someone knows how to get rid of the on-screen controls let me know.
I've tried a few emulators and this seems like a good way of getting games in one easy-to-choose/play place. I just hope it's safe.
Legal? Who cares? Get it while you can.

Hi nishanthhh! I'm one of the Say What You See developers!
Are you sure it froze? The app downloads quite a bit of data when it's first loaded, so you may need to be patient?
If it did fully crash, it'd be great to know what sort of device and OS version you're using so we can try and fix it for you!
Really like to hear from anyone else about the app too - it's our first Android app, so we really want to make it as great an experience as possible!
Or, y'know, at least have it so that you can play the flipping thing.
Cheers,
Jon

Tried the game and had no fcs. The good thing is that it works and is fun. The bad thing is that its quite difficult cause I never had an iPhone or heard of this game. Just one request, I want to zoom in on the picture more cause its quite small and I have to strain my eyes.

ok I tried this app but as a french guy this is clearly too difficult for me, not to mention im not really a movie fan

Hi Juhan! We'll see if we can increase the magnification a bit, certainly down't want to send you running to the opticians!

Hi Jon_SWYS, I have just sent an email to yourselves via your online form with some suggestions and a bug report.
I will attach the email here so anyone else can also comment on if they have the same problems?
I have a few suggestions and a bug report for the current version.
Suggestions: I have been playing this on my Nexus 7, and because the keyboard takes up quite a bit of room, you can't always see the full, flashing clue as it is obscured by the keyboard. Would there be a way that we could hide the keyboard, while keeping the clue flashing and highlighted?
Possibly being able to scroll while the clue is highlighted would be beneficial too, but that is less of an issue.
Bug report: On my Nexus 7, when I try and buy more coins I get a "Sorry there was a problem making a purchase on this device. Please check that your System is up to date and you have the latest version of Google Play installed. I am running 4.2.1. It works on my Galaxy Nexus running 4.2.
I hope this report helps, and my suggestion makes some sense?
