Hiya boys and girls! Ok... just put Tommy on my 650 but... i'm told there is a program called FAKE CURSOR available in which to enable simplicity when it comes to setting up, for example, speed camera alerts and the ability to manage them, among other things. Now, i've GOT the programme, read various bits and bobs about it via Google, but, i can't find any help as to how you assign keys or link it to the tomtom itself. Shortcuts needed maybe??? Anyone got a step by step gide at all please? Sadly after selling my Kaiser (lack of funds at the time!), i can't do it on that and edit back over any more.
Any help would be awesome.
Yes i realise you CAN use the tomtom without this FAKE CURSOR but... personally, i'd prefer to use it with it to save mucking about going back and forth if errors are made. Let's face it, if you type in a postal code incorrectly, you have to go back and start again as you can't delete the error can you.
Anyway, shout up and shout loud cus this one would be a help to us all if someone has the right answer!
Cheers, Steve

its simple
what i do is put the fake cursor exe on the storage card somewhere and have a long keypress of the voicecall button run it, and it works perfect together with tomtom.
remember to exit fake cursor you need to press the home key, but then you can press back to back to tom tom.
i have attached the fake cursor exe, and the shortcut to enable the long press of the voice call button (long_poc) to run fake cursor
at the moment the shortcut (long_poc) is directed to ""storage card/fake cursor/fake cursor.exe", BUT if you want to change it create a new .txt file and drag the shortcut to it, then edit the path, and then save, job done.
if you need any help, post!
PS remember to put the long poc file in the /windows/ folder!

Okies! Got all that after a few brainless moments with creating a folder called Fake Cursor (the space messed it up!!!) but there's just one thing that i'm not 100% sure of. Is it supposed to leave a 'snails trail' effect as you scroll up/down/l/r etc etc? Mine looks a bit odd! Ok it works and that's cool cus now i can finally set my camera alerts up and sort my COM port to but... well, it it supposed to do that? Just wondering!
Thanks for the help so far. I'm sure others may have found it useful when Googling etc etc.
Thanks, Steve
P.S. Ignore the Private Message! You'll see why when you read it! ha ha ha
Forget TomTom.
It doesn't support the smartphone hardware keys and FakeCursor is a crime to use.
Try Route 66 (Navigate 7) or Sygic McGuider (7.52).
Both work perfect on the Vox and have updated maps.
Copy Paste It! I'm testing out the trial version right now. Will report back with results.
Update: Ok, it works using image recognition technology, so it may not be perfectly accurate. They did say it would become more accurate over time, however. You can either select the copy option from the notification bar or shake your device to bring up the menu. Then you simply drag the box over what you want to copy and it will copy! You can even copy things off your homescreen or text in images. I'd only like a way to bring it up via a long-press. Otherwise I just can't justify spending $4 on it. I don't want to be waving my EVO around every time I want to copy some text.
good find...im looking into it myself.
Anyone know of manga/comic viewing apps for the android?
I used to use Cloud Reader on the iPad, but this app is not available on Android as far as I can tell.

Comics or Mango work for me.
There are a few that I use.
Mangawhat : this program reads directly off of mangareader.com and mangafox.com and a few others.
the other two that I use to read off my memory card are:
SCViewer
jjcomic viewer
i was just using xcomic which i found worked well, it had a database of free comics and they all save to your device if you download. You can double tap on a scene and then tap the right of the screen to have it take you through square by square.
I did a lot of research before porting my CBR's over to my TF. Of everything I was able to track down, I found Perfect Viewer (< Market Link) to be the best fit for me.
It looks good on the TF in portrait mode (you can use landscape but without the ability to display dual page, side-by-side, it is less practical). There is a bigger learning curve with Perfect Viewer, but it has really great customization once you get elbows deep into the settings. You can adjust various page transition effects, loading functions, slideshow settings, set page as wallpaper for the TF, etc.. Some things I learned by trial and error (such as touching up at the very top middle of the portrait screen to go back to the bookshelf or assigning doc titles to the tops of each page and page numbers to the bottom). If you elect to use it, you may want to turn off some things such as all of the "load last" options.
All in all, it's a good fit for me. I loaded up a MicroSD with my entire collection of MAD Magazines (Issue #1 to present), and every issue of Zenoscope's Grimm Fairy Tales to test for load issues and the TF handled the bulk well (though you can toggle "Low Memory Mode" if necessary). Once I was comfortable that I had found my reader, I loaded up the rest of my reading fare.
Manga Watcher is my favorite. It links you to several websites to download from automatically. Just input the series and it'll show you how many chapters are out.
Just remember when you first open it you gotta change the setting to watch it in portrait mode and to set it so when you tap the screen, it'll change the page.
i'm using Perfect Viewer, i like the way it's supposed to work, but i'm having a problem setting the bookshelf to my microsd card...i'm using /removable/microsd/comics as the set path but it keeps saying it can't find the folder.....is it possible to set the bookshelf to a microsd card or do you have to use the internal storage?

My collection is on a MicroSD so I know it works. I use the same address as you (/removable/microsd/comics). Here's a few things you could try:
1. Verify that the files are in the directory you listed.
2. Make sure you spelled the address correctly. If any folders have caps in their name then use the same caps. Make sure you didn't type a "\" instead of a "/". The address in my "Manual input" field is as follows, "/Removable/MicroSD/Comics" (I use caps in folder names.)
3. Check to see that the MicroSD card is, in fact, working.
4. You're using *.CBR and *.CBZ files, correct? Not PDF?
I know the things I listed seem simple, but I can't tell you how many times I tore my hair out trying to figure out something and there was a simple solution that had eluded me during that moment.
caps is the key...
thanks, should have known that might be it.
Droid Comic Viewer is good if you don't need a lot of extra features.
is there any way to increase the size of the bookshelf in prefect viewer? In order to see the books a bit larger, tried the pinch zoom, didn't do anything and can't find an option for that.

Unfortunately, no; at least none that I know of. You could always send a suggestion to the creator through the Android Market. I plan on sending a few myself (such as calling up a warning dialog box before completely backing out of the application when hitting the back button; I hate having to relaunch because I went back too far).
I would like to be able to zoom in as well. As it stands, I have to bring up the comic to see the cover, then tap the upper most, middle of the top of the screen to go back to the bookshelf.
I do like that you can see your entire collection, then view it split it up based on the folder layout you set up on the MicroSD card by clicking on the "catagory" button at the top of the bookshelf. I have a huge collection so being able to dedicate the bookshelf to specific folders on the card makes finding things easier.
Manga what
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Manga Rock!
For my iPhone: Manga Rock and Manga Storm.
For my Nexus 7: Manga Searcher. But I've heard that Manga Rock will come to Android soon. Hopefully, it will be as good as the iOS one. :victory:

You can use Manga Rock for Android. Really polished and well-functioned manga reader app (Japanese comics).
Here's the download link:

Kinda hard to use Manga Watcher!

But we need to know the manga title beforehand. It's hard to discover new manga there.
So the Browser's text input handling in ICS and JB is bad. It's really, exceptionally, terribly bad. Have you ever tried to write bbcode for an image with it using a soft keyboard? It will randomly paste URLs in the body of text, the cursor handles jump all over the place, and sometimes while typing with the on-screen keyboard, words will just decide they belong in the beginning of the message box, and if you try to select a large amount of text in an input field, you're lucky if the blue highlight even "lands" on the text. Interacting with forums with the Browser is a nightmare.
But I digress. Kind of. It was so bad that it finally forced me to go out and buy a keyboard dock for the tf300. I have to say it's really great, and I wish I had bought one earlier. I knew it supported things like "Ctrl+C" and "Ctrl+V" and sometimes they work! But it's so inconsistent. For example, I can upload an image with imgur, copy the URL with ease, but then when I switch to another tab and try to paste it in my message box, I get nothing. Ctrl+V does nothing. Menu+V does nothing (other than insert a "v"). Alt+V does nothing. I have to click into the text to create an I-cursor handle, then click the handle, then click the little Paste button. And sometimes, it still decides it's going to paste elsewhere in the message. To add insult to injury, I can Ctrl+C no problem, I even get a toast saying "Text copied".
I'm currently running CM10 (official nightlies). Does anyone else have this problem, or is it a problem with this ROM perhaps? Text input in the Browser is super ****ing ****ty. Lacking Ctrl+V functionality only makes it ****tier.
Hi,
I'm looking for the ability to do something on an android device that I do quite frequently on my computer.
If I have a MS Word or Evernote open in one window, and I have a webpage or PDF open in another window, I often want to take a screen clipping of a particular sub-section of the pdf/webpage, then immediately copy & paste this into e.g. Evernote. This is pretty easy to do on a PC, but I'm not clear on if / how it can be done on a phone.
So similarly, on an Android device, I want to be able to screen-cap a small section of one window/app and paste the screen-cap into another app. To be clear, I'd prefer to not have to save the screenshot first, then navigate to it in some obscure directory, then move it into the target app. I'd prefer to directly paste it into whatever I'm working on-- (almost) as seamlessly as I would on a PC.
You can imagine why this would be especially helpful on a multi-window phone/tablet like the Samsung ones. I can be taking notes on one screen and copy/pasting needed content on another screen, all while everything is in front of me. This would be so great!
Is this possible?
Thanks!
