Hi, you can install the voice search engine from http://www.eclosion-android.com/com.google.android.voicesearch.apk
then save it in your sd card. And change the file extension from zip to .apk , then install it using Astro.
Delete the google search bar, then get it again. This time you will notice it comes with a microphone sign on the side. If you have 'better keyboard' then you can use voice recognition too.

does that mean we can send sms using our voice?
Worked like a charm thanks so much! Was thinking I'd have to wait for an update or root before we had this feature.

Any ideas?
WOOOW, where were you till now !?!? )) Tnx a lot ! This is something that I have tried first time in my life and it works great ! Can we use it somehow in SMS ? I use Handcent and HTC_IME keyboard but when I enable Voice input in HTC_IME I get microphone button but nothing happens when I press it ?

Did you rename the file estension? It has to be changed from .zip to .apk then install the program.
Any software in the market with voice recognition will work. Like "Speak n Send" is good one, you could send sms, email, notes whatever with it.
I am not sure why HTC IME is not detecting the voice recognition?? Well other keyboards are, like "better keyboard".
I used the above url, downloaded to XP and placed it in the SD card.
I have Unknown sources enabled.
I have the HTC keyboard installed.
I disabled it and useed the default keyboard
no joy
I've also tried to install it via the phone's own browser in case xp did something weird to the file. no joy
I'll try better keyboard and see what the result will be.
Did you rename the extension?????
I have downloaded it with Firefox and didnt need to change extension, it worked perfectly, just installed it trough Astro. At least for Google, on HTC_IME keyboard it does not work.
Wow, works like a charm,
Mine was donloaded as a apk, didn't have to rename it..

Does anyone have yahoo, aim or msn, that would be willing to walk me though
the steps of upping the framerate and also adding a different keyboard. I have
tried to do both on my own, but I seem to be messing up some where, cause
neither end up working.
Thanks.
The keyboard is easy find one you like in the market download it then go back to the home screen and press menu , settings, language and keyboards, then put a check by the keyboard then go into gmail or anything here you can pull up a keyboard and on the input screen long press and select keyboard

Swiftey wouldn't set
OK, first things first. What ROM are you running?
Stock TNT--and therefore TNTLite--does not "allow" switching the keyboard. Of course, there are (easy) work arounds.

Stock with performance pack. I have done read the posts and tried to do it, but
I can't get it to work. Same with the frame rate hack. If someone could walk
me though it on a messenger or even make a video that would help.
OK, did you see this post?

The part about rooting is important. I didn't have to do that since I had already flashed TNTLite, so I can't give you any insight on z4root. Should be in the market though.

Already rooted.
You'll want to get Root Explorer from the market so you can move the API file from one directory to the other. Then, Jim, who wrote that post invited stock users to private message him about an app to help select the keyboard. I've read a lot of his posts and he really knows his stuff.
Here's the new Android Market. And its the one I'm currently using and it has a few updates. Hope you all enjoy. You may need to uninstall the old market updates in order for this to install.
Go to settings/applications/manage applications. Then tap on "all" scroll down to "Market". Tap on the app and select uninstall updates. The install the apk you dl.
http://db.tt/xwRztJu
Also here's the new market in black. Its just the apk so to install it. You must have root. Then use root explorer or a file manger that has root access. Then copy and paste it to system/apps. Then change permissions. To do this using root explorer simply just long press on any app that's in the system folder and select permissions. Then look how the permissions are selected for that apk. Then long press on the new black market apk you just pasted in the folder and select permissions. Then check the boxes as you just seen on the apk that you first long pressed on to check permissions. Then make sure the folder is mounted as r/o which is "read only". You can do this by looking at the top right hand corner of root explorer and it will be a tab that says r/w. Just tap that tab and it will change to r/o. Then hit menu then select exit. Then reboot.
You should see it in your app drawer as "" Black Market""
This is the latest version 3.0.27
Link on last page of thread. If any of you would like a flashable zip let me know.
but it will only be for Ra.1.6,1.7 or Cwm2.5.
Hope you guys can use it.

i couldn't get your file to download - not sure if it's a problem with the file itself, or just IE9. i did find a copy elsewhere tho.
anyway, does anyone know if you can disable update notifications like in the old market (i would go to my apps and settings and disable notifications). i don't see the option here anymore, but didn't know if there was a walkaround to do it anyway?
not that i'm complaining, but i don't like how the reviews aren't in date order anymore - makes it hard to tell if ppl are having problems with the newest app update...hopefully they'll change that in the future.
Is it just me or is anyone else unable to leave reviews/stars on apps? I keep ketting a message saying something like unable to leave feedback at this time or something. I have been having so many issues with this phone in last few weeks I am about to blow it up! lol
Probally ie9. Try a different browser or threw your phone. I just hit the link from my phone and it downloads.

Hello,
I have a strange problem.
when I use the keyboard (I tried the latest version of "Go Keyboard" and "SwiftKey X") to write a message or enter to a website the keyboard dropdown and I need to click on the text box to reopen the keyboard.
It is really annoying... I tried to look for a solution in the internet but I couldnt find anything.
thank!
This has happened to me on several occasions as well...it always went away on its own, though, so I have no idea what caused it.
Sent from my MB865 using XDA
happens every time i open the browser, very annoying. its like i try to type in the text box and all of a sudden it disappears and tries to auto guess what i was typing. thought it was my phone, turned out to be dolphin browser in my case. using stock browser again and is fine. however, my data connection sucks and even on wifi in my house 15 feed from the router it loses signal.
Odd, I had the problem with my stock browser mostly, now that you mention it...and I haven't had the problem at all with Dolphin, that I remember.
It's really annoying!
Changing rom can fix that out?

It may (MAY) be an issue with the process itself: android.com.multitouchkeyboard. If you could find a way to just restart that process I think you can at least mitigate the problem. Have you tried a factory reset?
I know, it sucks, but when you get an odd system-based glitch like this (and it's a software issue) usually a factory reset fixes it. If that doesn't do it, something in the O/S may be corrupted, and flashing an fxz to stock 2.3.6 may help.
Also, are you using a sdcard, and if so what size/class? You could try removing the sdcard and see if the problem persists...

Also another one..
When lets say i open browser and type something in the address window like "xda atrix" and hit enter,it of course pulls up google with that search which is fine. But...if i try and click on the input box on the actuall google site ,and i start typing ..the browser will automatically scroll to the bottom of the page while im typing and continue to type in another box. And if u try and scroll back to the top,it wont let u. It will scroll right back down to the bottom so your forced to again use the actuall browser input box for another google search.

Well, nonetheless, you have to wipe data/factory reset in CWM in order to install many of the custom roms out there... just sayin'!
Use the stock browser instead of dolphin or go or whatever. It will do it less. Even a custom rom will do the same thing. My favorite is trying to type something and then it tries to auto fill which means the keyboard pops outta sight and you accidently hot resturants which pops up another screen and the, you have to go back and retype what you were looking for! Very frustrating! Anybody know if this problem is on other phones? Like the samsung s3? I'm even using a different keyboard (A.I. keyboard which is great so far) and the same browser broblem exists. Texting is fine...
hi everybody!
sorry for the non-descriptive title, but i have some questions i'd like to ask here. i just got my moto g 2 days ago, i switched from a samsung galaxy s+ (with cm10.2) so this is quite the change for me, hardware and software wise.
[ANSWERED] 1. first i missed the possibility to swipe my keyboard to type, i found many different apps for that, but my question would be what is the keyboard included in cyanogenmod? because since this can 'see' everything i type i want an app for that i can trust...
[ANSWERED] 2. i really liked the cLock app for time and weather in cm, but google-ing 'clock app' wasnt the most helpful thing i've ever done ^^ so here my queston would be aswel whats the cyanogenmod cLock app and where can i find it?!
[ANSWERED] 3. next thing would be how can i get something like pdroid on this device (i had it on the sgs+)? i would need root i assume, i saw lots of different methods for that aswel. one with like contacting motorola to get the rom unlocked or something like that. so whats the easiest way to get a privacy control on the moto g? i remember something like the new android has some inbuilt setting for that?!?
[ANSWERED] 4. something that is irritating me quite a lot are the software keys, because samsung has the back key on the right side and the moto has it on the left side. also i dont understand why there would be a key for recent apps instead of a menu key. same here: i saw lots of different methods to change that, some even with adding or getting rid of lines of the code. ok i managed to install cm on my sgs, but thats a little out of my capabilities ^^ so again what would be the easiest way to change the buttons around?
[ANSWERED] 5. another thing would be, how do i turn off the vibration when using the keyboard? i tried the setting under 'sound' -> 'vibrate on touch' (or something along those lines) but that didnt turn off all of the vibration, for example its still vibrating when i use the keyboard but not anymore when i open apps or menus.
maybe there is even the possibility to install a stable version of cyanogenmod on the moto g which would solve most of my issues? but since this is running so smoothly i dont want any nightly builds, alphas or betas on this thing right now...
btw i am using the nova launcher in case that makes any difference for any of the questions above!?
also i include this screenshot with all the version numbers in it because it might be useful: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5JftqugO1xsbnh1dTBrQzZVWXc/edit?usp=sharing
thanks a bunch in advance and for reading and i hope someone is willing and able to help me out here!:fingers-crossed:

You can install the stock google keyboard from the play store for using swype, And there is cyangenmod version available for the G, you should go to the Moto G Original Android Development section of the forum for that. The vibration option should be in your sound / keyboard settings so you just need to look better i gues.

I suggest to install Xposed framework (Root needed), and then you can have this features with Gravity Box and Xprivacy (these are modules for Xposed).
In order to root, you have to unlock the bootloader (follow the instruction on Motorola website), then install a Custom recovery (I suggest Philz one) and supersu from Play store

Mornin', you're very welcome!
Xprivacy it's kind of complicated, but that reading will help you. I admit I don't use it, but I know it gives you full control on privacy and this is what you were looking for As you said, it's just a matter of time!
Btw you can install modules directly from Xposed Installer application, so you can bypass the Play Store.
Yes that's gravity box: it's very good and popular, you can surely reverse/set all the software keys, but also do a lot of modding!
It's more intuitive than Xprivacy, just go ahead options and try them, it's safe!
Good luck and forgive my english!

i am no native english tongue myself, so i dont notice anything wrong with your english. no need to excuse, i make mistakes myself.
i was under the impression that you could do 'stupid' stuff with xprivacy, like i was able to deny my camera app access to the camera with pdroid. that was a good way to test if it was properly working. so i tried and deny firefox access to 'internet' but that didnt seem to work, but then again it especially said its no going to break apps. i dig into all of this further later on.
just a question, what would be a good way to verify it is working like its supposed to? talking about xprivacy here...
edit: and to answer my question no.5: there is another setting for vibration in the keyboard itself, so you have to go through -> language and input -> select settings on your keyboard -> vibrate on key push (or sth along those lines), so basically you have to turn it off twice.

edit: and to answer my question no.5: there is another setting for vibration in the keyboard itself, so you have to go through -> language and input -> select settings on your keyboard -> vibrate on key push (or sth along those lines), so basically you have to turn it off twice.

Yeah, of course! I thought you managed this already! Keyboard is like an app itself, and has its own settings (i.e. vibration)
so i tried and deny firefox access to 'internet' but that didnt seem to work

I just tried it and i had no problem to deny the access for Firefox. When you open xprivacy in the app list tap on the Firefox Logo, not on the name or the checkbox. If you do so the details will open. If you now tick the category "Internet" then you will see that it is checked as a square, not as a hook. If it is a square it is only partially blocked. If you go now into the details of the category "Internet", you will see, that not all options are checked. Some are even marked red because they might be essential for the functionalty of the specific app. If you check also these and maybe also all others, then you can prevent Firefox of getting access to the Internet. If you check all items in Internet manually you'll see that category internet has now a hook than a square.
but then again it especially said its no going to break apps.

I did not really get what you wanted to say with this.
just a question, what would be a good way to verify it is working like its supposed to?

You can check for example all outgoing connections to the internet from your device. I have not tested this tool, or similar like that, but i will now because i just had the idea Else you can also prevent Facebook app to connect. I use Auto Hide Softkey App. I can for example prevent that it uses the overlay function, so it can not modify the UI and hide the Navbar.
Xprivacy is a very powerful tool. If you want it more simple, you can activate the in Android but Disabled inbuilt AppOPS App (search for AppOPS). But it is also less powerful.
I bought xprivacy. If you buy it, you can download the restrictions automatically and upload yours for others. You are also able to export end import the settings if licensed. Also nice that you can buy it via Paypal because i do not have a Credit Card (and i don't want).
but google-ing 'clock app' wasnt the most helpful thing i've ever done ^^

You should definitely work on your Googling skills
Try "best android clock apps" "List of android clocks" and so on, there are dozens.
maybe there is even the possibility to install a stable version of cyanogenmod on the moto g which would solve most of my issues? but since this is running so smoothly i dont want any nightly builds, alphas or betas on this thing right now...

My friend, you are really funny
Cyanogenmod just got a snapshot Status few days ago. It is one step ahead being a nightly and to steps behind beeing stable
Hope that helps.

Oh and for some settings you do you also have to restart your phone. But actually it will tell you to do so by displaying a toast.

thanks for the explanation! i clicked on the firefox logo but i didnt know you can go even deeper into each section for permissions, that explains it!

well you explained it yourself pretty much, the app was designed to not break apps in the way they work but restrict them from your privat data. so when i clicked firefox'es internet permission and it had the square, i disabled some but not all of it. thats all i was saying

i wasnt on my computer for quiet some time so i couldnt answer on this thread, my apologies.
i bought the pro version of xprivacy with paypal too and i synced my permissions for all apps with the cloud or crowd. it could find and sync most of my apps which is a nice and easy way to get around the ridiculous amount of permissions to set for each app.
can you confirm that most of the synced crowd settings make sense in the way of privacy protection? because i havent looked too much into all those settings but even when i did i couldnt quiet understand them in depth...
also @Landrea thanks for recommending gravity box, that thing is amazing! i was able to restore most of the cyanogenmod settings i was missing, great! also i could reconfigure my softkeys, but i am thinking about this app here to maximize my usable screensize:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.hidesoftkeys
or
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.tsorn.FullScreen
or is there a setting for that in gravity box i missed?

You're welcome!
Check navigation bar settings in gravity box, you can change the size of the soft keys and gain space.
Go for that apps if you think you need more usable screensize (hard to believe)

i wondered what that would be and imagined something for screen transmission (chromecast) or something like that, thanks for clearing that up! best to have as little extra programs as needed on my device... cool gravity box got that covered aswel, liking this more and more!
