Could not have said that better myself, it looks better to and the long press on the smilies is nice too

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..

So typing normally is better on Swype than on the original Android keyboard?

Hmmmm, send me a PM. I may not be able to get to it this weekend, but I'll see what we can figure out. I know why that might happen, but I'm a little surprised that you are experiencing that with a custom ROM.

We're working to improve that experience as well, but for obvious reasons, we tend to focus most of our efforts on Swypeability.

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.

i'm on CM latest stable, had 0 problems getting email, downloading, installing

Hmmm...
Have registered, got the email, got to the link...tried downloading but it's stuck with no data being transferred.
Anyone else experiencing this?
edit:
it downloads now...no idea why it didn't earlier...this version is much better than the ones released in the forum earlier... my default keyboard now

[Q] XDApp Lite

Who here has the XDApp lite working?
I have it cooked into my ROM and it will never work, ever. It tries to connect, gives it three attempts and quits. I'm envious to all Android OS owners who have it up and running on their devices.
Does anyone have it working on their windows mobile phones and if so have a .cab file? Or even a fix? Any help or advice is appreciated

what skin for the board are you using on your computer if your using the beta skin switch it to the other skin then try to login on the XDApp lite application because i was having the same problem as you & asked around for some help with this and somebody suggested this & i tried it and it worked for me hope this helps

Two things:
1.) Yes I am using the default skin. Do you know where to find other ones?
2.) When I find said skins how can I change it? Because I don't know where to find my data for that app, because as I said, it's cooked into the ROM.

no not on your phone im talking about on your computer scroll all the way down to the bottom of the screen & on the left hand side should be a drop down menu click on it and it should say Quick Style Chooser with 2 skins to chose from 1 being the default skin & the other being the beta skin make sure you are using the default skin then on your phone try to login again to see if it works this worked for me

Nothing, I tried twice. I don't know what could possibly be the problem. I'm going to try to change the layout on my cellphone to see if that might fix it.

I Tested It On Data Connection & It Still Worked Fine For Me
So I Did Some Digging Around To Try & Find The Info I Was Telling You About & Guess What I Found It And I Was Telling You The Wrong Procedure I'm So Sorry About That I Was Right About Changing The Skin But Was Wrong About Where To Change It At
Check The Post Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7183733&postcount=367
Here Are The Steps I Did And It Worked For Me The First Time I Tried It
Remember All This Is To Be Done On Your Computer Not Your Phone
1.Click On User CP
2.Click On Edit Options
3.Scroll All The Way Down To The Bottom Of The Page & You Will See Forum Skin Choose Xda-Dev Custom Template As The Skin Then Save Your Changes
4.Logout Then Log Back In
5.Now On Your Phone Try To Log In To XDApp Lite All Should Be Good Now If Not Then IDK Because This Worked For Me

Suhweet! I finally got it working! DD You guys at the Core Cell team should direct people that use your ROM to either this thread or give them some sort of directions in the Fixes part of your thread. Just a recommendation of course Thanks alot for the help I do appreciate it!

[Q] Voicemail Notifications-[SOLVED]

So it came to my attention yesterday that I had like 20 VMs', wich I had no idea because I am apparently not receiving notifications. I've checked all settings, and have not changed anything in like 6 months. Yes, I have looked, checked and read any applicable forums. I'm running just barebone stock GB. It may be antiquated, but I like it, it works well and gets great battery life. No problems ever till now. Any suggestions? Thinking I may have to One-Click back, start over and see, but was just wondering if anybody has any thoughts. Hope this post was respectful enough for all!

Did you perhaps remove the visual voicemail apk. I understood it as being needed to get notifications. (Correct me if I'm wrong).

Yep I did, and do believe that's the problem. Anybody know how I can get that apk back. I grabbed it from Lumin's APK repository but its a .zip and upon flashing it fails....of course. Knew it couldn't be that easy. If not I'll one-click it and start over. Thanks much. I appreciate the answer.

[XPosed Mod] HiGoogle - "Hi Galaxy" phrase opens Google Now instead of S-Voice

[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.

Does this close s-voice when it opens, then open voice search?

djdavis said:

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...

Nice, (or should i say YeeHaw ) this is where my hopes were.
And do you think it is possible to change the wake up command from "Hi Galaxy" to anything we want too? I heard it's nearly impossible...but chainfire isn't the only magician around here...

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.

[Q] Google Now Launcher APK?

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,
andrej

Google camera is in the play store, the others should be findable, I'll check when I get home for you

I assume it is working ok? Love the device, and I'm going to try to time with the stock launcher for at least a couple of days, but probably going to this launcher soon.
