i think he means for text selection...
1) that feature isn't available for android devices until gingerbread with one caveat... see point 2...
2) this feature is avaiable thru devices with SENSE because sense builds it into the device (even on froyo).
in a nutshell.. the only way to get specific text selection on a 2.2 device is with sense, motoblur or something.. stock 2.2 does not have it built in... only gingerbread has it baked in.
HOWEVER... you CAN select text in the browser by going to menu... more options.. text selection.. then swiping over the text you want and cpying. AND in data fields you can select ALL the text by tapping and holding then choosing copy or cut all text.. but that's it. you'll have to edit the selection once you get it pasted somewhere.

hello,
im not sure if anyone found this to be a problem, but i would love to have a keyboard with a send button in landscape mode without having to hide keyboard
i have found that if you flip the phone back to it's normal position, the keyboard goes back to its normal self with a send button. i've been doing that lately instead of hiding the keyboard.
yeah i was just wondering if there was something that didnt involve the hide/turning phone. just type and send.
+1 I would like to know about this too. Maybe someone can do a IME mod

the htc ime mod can do this in the stock messaging app, theres an option to use the enter key as send. OR you can disable the fullscreen l;landscape all together so that you still see the text field with the send button next to it.
I find it easiest to simply hit the hard back button which hides the keyboard. Unfortunately I do like using paragraphs in my posts too much to want my return key changed to a send key.

AFAIK the htc ime mod only assigns the return key to send while using the stock messaging app. It should not affect your need for using paragraphs while using any other app.
Yes, this would be a good mod. If you could fit a "Send" key somewhere on the keyboard

This will come in time my friend.. With higher root comes higher privilege that we can take advantage of, or HTC finally realizes and updates our devices with an option to enable / disable

Why do people think the genius button is so horrible? Its helluva lot more useful than regular search, you would know if you actually tried it out.

I wish I could customize it to launch vlingo instead. Genius doesn't even have a navigate command. I would use it, but it starts way slower than vlingo and isn't as accurate.

I have used it. I like Google Search better. That and I get better results with Google Voice Search.

It's called choice. I don't want it for search at all. There are other apps that can take advantage of the search button on every other device except the Slide and the MT4G. Options are always a good thing.

i love the genius button. i use it all the time plus there are navigation options in it. i use it all the time. it asked for an address and i said mine and it did great and had no errors reading what i said. or i can say a place i wanna find and it shows me ones around me then i click on it and click nav and its good to go. i love how it reads my text messages and i can say a text message and it does really good with picking up what i said with out having errors or not putting in words i didnt say.
Have you guys tried downloading Google Search or any other app that uses the search button?
Maybe that applicatino that allows you to launch anything with the search key.

Now though, new "Does anyone want...." When someone calls you, and you are in another app, so that you see the call from the ticker, does anyone want the "Ignore and Text" button to link to Google Voice?
Also, how about bold ticker date text? I don't know, the original seems to small for me haha
I don't know about it doing that but I was wanting to change the functionality
Anything that gives it functionality... I have literally only used it once to see what it did and screen on/off seems infinitely more useful... you know us continuum users will take what we can get...

I believe this deserves some consideration. With sum trial and error we could make a lasting improvement to google's standard interface. Im sure there is some app, utility, or shortcut that can be represented by an icon and makes navigating your phone easier....menu, home, and back are kinda dedicated to the SMART so maybe fourth key should be dedicated to the PHONE part init? To make a long story longer we took this phone from Sammy and VZW when we gave it froyo...we will take it from google when we improve native/home keys.......was that motivational hahaha

Updated OP with new question
Is this possible? I really like the stock texting app, but I am unable to have a text sent without having to click on the touchscreen. Every other app in the world allows you to hit enter to send, but this one gives a new line. In a text. Which is pointless.
Any help would be great.
Go into settings in the stock app there's a option to send with enter click it
Sent From My Rooted Sidekick 4g XDA Premium App
Hmm, I've gone into the settings again, and see no option for it. I am running stock KD1 with the stock messaging app. In the new message (aka universal composer) screen, settings only lets me choose which services to show. In the all messages screen, settings gives me a bunch storage and options, but none are related.
I am familiar with the plain vanilla android messenger app's setting for send on enter, but the sidekick I got doesn't have that.
And you have a different Rom listed on your signature. Could that have a different messaging app than me?
I understould wrong I thought u ment aosp messingin yes the stock sidekick messenging dosent allow it

Personally I prefer it this way, after having sent piles of half-finished texts from my G1 while trying to backspace or go for a letter. It's nearly impossible to send a text by accident now.
Where did Menu + M go? It should have been included.

I've seen a few apps in the Play Store (mostly just plugins for alternative SMS hosts like GoSMS) like Emoji Keyboard and Emoji Codec that I couldn't get to work. Then I attempted a method I found in the description of Emoji Keyboard's app information which involved replacing a file in system/fonts through root explorer. I know I did everything in the instructions but it didn't work for whatever reason.
I want to be able to send and receive emojis (at the very least, with someone using the same app as me) inter-Android and with iOS also if possible. Any possible app/method? I'm running CM10 8/16 build but will be updating to the 8/23 build that's coming.
And I'd prefer not to use What's App. Thanks in advance!

Open up native messaging app, hit menu and then settings. Scroll to bottom and there should be an option for "enable emojis"

It wasn't included in 8/16 CM10 but it's here now in 8/23 which is awesome BTW. Thank you. I was really looking for an app I could tell all the iPhone users and Droid users to get that would work for all of us (but not What's App). Anyway, thanks

I think thats cause iphone and android made a universal emoji so that both can see it. I read an article about it a few months back when it was in the works..
Thanks making this post I had been using GO SMS just for emojis. My wife still has an iPhone.

My experience with CM10:
the only way to access emojis is through the messaging app. They can be sent through text messages by pressing the menu button and selecting “insert emojis" provided that you have emoji support enabled in messaging settings. (From my experience, only later builds of CM10 have emoji support. That's source code though and has nothing to do with our brilliant devs).
To get emojis into Facebook you need to use a copy-paste workaround.
1) Enter stock messaging app and go to a conversation.
2) Press the menu button
3) Select insert emojis
4) Select desired emojis
5) Press back button to return to the message.
6) Copy the emojis and paste them into Facebook
Most should work, some might not. It's hit or miss. Peace sign, thumbs up, hearts and many more are on the working list.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Just wish they would intergrate them more into other apps such as FB. That copy and paste method just takes up to much time. Olus i think they could revamp some of them as they are pretty stupid, maybe add the finger, We all know that we would like that one once in awhile. :good:

I more recently flashed an emoji keyboard from the BaNkS GApps thread which you enable in input settings. So I use the selector notification every time I input text. Looks like this.
