I want to be able to use a gesture / shortuct to be able to paste a remembered phrase or sentence. Does this exist?
I'm using CM9 and the stock messaging app I'm using has the feature. If i go in the app, and go to setting s, it's at the bottom under sms template. It will allow me to make a gesture path and attach whatever phrase or sentence i want by making the gesture on top of the messages. For instance i use an 'L' gesture to send my wife a quick 'i love you'. Hope that helps!

I wanna be able to use this in emails though too and forums.
As far as my knowledge goes, that's the only thing I've found that does that. At least that is one thing you can use it for! :-D

Not exactly... but Clip Ninja (paid -- around $1.45) is a sort of Textarea Cache/Lazarus for Android. Anything you've typed (except passwords) is saved for 7 days by default. You can star stuff to keep it. Then you can paste it into anything. Not via gestures though, but the app resides in your notifications, so you can get to it easy enough.
Multi Ling keyboard from the play store has an add-on called auto-text, where e.g. BB automatically inserts be right back. And you can define your own abbreviations and texts/phrases. But you'll have to use the keyboard in order to get it working.

SwiftKey keyboard has this.. Kinda..
It learns your speech patterns and then suggests the most common words you typically use...
I'm my text message app before I type anything it offer "hey" then the choice of "dude" or "love". As I usually start texts like this to my buds or my wife.
I can send texts without "typing" a single word... It also works in a lot of other apps like xda premium

Hi everyone,
I am using AOKP ROM build 40 and I want to change page transitions or app opening transitions....
Please can anyone help me with this....I had seen some really cool transition animations like the dialog box popping from the bottom in one of my friends SG ACE ROM....
Thanks

I just use GO Launcher as my default launcher and use the animations/transitions from there. So many to choose from and for different scenarios too.
Personally, I set all my "effects" to Random. That way every time I switch home screens or enter the app drawer, it's different!

I am asking for animations which are for built in things...like the dialog box for everything or any app opening....I figured out that it can be done by editing anim folder in Res folder of framework.apk....but still I need someone to give me some some animations which are in XML format so that I can edit the apk....

Just like the title says, I set a custom sound for calendar notifications, but it reverts back to default as soon as I leave the calenar app. I go back, and the sound for notifications is not the one I previously set. Is it just my phone or is it like that for everybody?
No help?

A little more info may help, are you stock, roooted, custom ROM?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Stock, never been rooted. I placed sounds in "notification" folder on the phone, not on SD card. I can see them when I set the sound for calendar, and I can hear them of course. But if I choose any of my own sounds, as soon as I leave the app and go back, it shows the default sound again.
I can, however, change to one of the Samsung sounds successfully.
My sounds are fine, they worked on my Rezound, and work on my Galaxy Tab.

Seems like irs a problem with your tones, or the storage location since you can use the stock tones. I would just use zedge from Google play and download a new tone and see if it works.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
See, that's why I specifically said the tones are fine. They worked on Rezound, they work on my Tab now. I just specifically checked again, I can set them for text message notifications, alarms, ringtone, anything, but calendar. Same tones. It's a problem with the calendar app. Same tone set fot txt works like a charm. But not for calendar.

Same issue here, it's the same thing with the timer in the clock app. Definitely a bug that has not been addressed. Pretty annoying.

I knew they were good on your other phones, but maybe the s3 didn't like then. But if they can be used as other times that's not the case. I would really try zedge not sure were it saved then but mine stick just tested it.

I'd rather not install another app that that I don't really need. Maybe there's a fix to this problem some other way?

I think the point is to test with an app that is known to work - for all we know, it might be a permissions issue with the files you copied, for example. Without direct knowledge of why the problem is happening, testing with a known quantity might help eliminate one set of possibilities and hone in on the problem-causing element.
The app can always be uninstalled, as well.
Another test might be to place your tones on a SD card (if you have one), which should have no access issues for any stock app.

That's actually my point, test the apps download. Then look at were they are saved and the permissions. Then simply put your files in there with the same permissions.

Yeah, it does smack of a permissions issue on its face, doesn't it?
Could be a different bug in the app, but maybe the background process is having an access problem so reverts back to the default tone.
- ooofest
Ok, I'll test them on SD card and report back. However, if I can set the same tone for txt, for example, it doesn't seem to me like a permission issue.

I just tested and checked permissions (which differ in a manner that shouldn't matter from the ICS notification files, I believe), among other things. I wasn't able to see where I could select a custom ringtone for the new event, though had copied them over to various directories, but did select a custom sound for all calendar events. It defaulted to the standard tone.
Then, I saw this thread that explains the issue and offers a potential workaround/fix:

Ok, I knew it wasn't a permission or a tone issue. It's a glitch with this thing. Very annoying. I guess all we can do is deal with it, huh? Calendar like that is pretty useless. I never hear any reminders. :thumbdown: :banghead:

I use the On Time notification sound, which has been good for me. I have rather sensitive hearing, admittedly.
The link I offered explained that a paid app in Play can provide different ringtone options, repeating notifications, popups, etc. for the Calendar:

Yes, yes, I've read that. But couldn't it just work like every other phone (I assume)? Paying for some tiny feature like this, because it's a stupid bug, just doesn't sound very nice.
On second thought, if there's an app that can do that without root permission, shouldn't we be able to accomplish the same without that app?

Well, this whole thing is making me consider re-rooting my phone, so that I can copy the custom tones to the proper directory, update their permissions to match the other tone files and see if that makes a difference. Maybe the Calendar app is hardcoded to use tones in that subdirectory only, but the selection UI screen is coded differently, allowing any tones to be selected.
I feel that if I select a tone in Notifications or a similar location, the Calendar app goes back to its default of the "On Time" tone, that is a clue to where it might be looking for a tone file when an event goes off. Or not, we'll see.
- ooofest
Well, sure it will work if you root it. But I still think we can make it work without root, if some app can get it done for unrooted phones.

I'm guessing that app hooks into calendar events, but that involves writing code.
This works for me:
1. Root your phone. The easiest way I've found is located here.
2. Using Root Explorer (or similar file management app that has been granted SuperUser privileges after rooting) Move or Copy your notification sound file(s) to:
/system/media/audio/notifications/
I changed the permissions to rw-r--r-- for the moved files, but it turns out their default permissions also worked fine.
3. Back in the Calendar app, select your moved/copied notification ringtone from the list.
4. Unroot your phone, if desired.
Doing the above allowed me to use custom tones for the Calendar notifications - I tested with .ogg files, but perhaps .mp3 or others may also work.
(At first, it seemed a side-effect caused loss of system sounds, but it turned out I somehow turned the System sound volume to 0 through some fumble fingering.)
So, no side-effects and I'm back to being stock, unrooted. Whole process took less than 10 minutes with testing.

Is it just me or can I not customize the order I want my apps in on the smartwatch 2? I press the menu button and the only options are alphabetical and frequency used. Is anyone else having this issue or am I just missing something?
Thanks!

Only thing you can do is use Frequency, and keep tap the app you want to order and the home button. You can also tap it when watch not connected to phone.
Yeah, this seems one of the strangest missing features IMO. I don't see why you can't simply re-order them in the Smart Connect app, either - would that be so hard? Either way, the favorites thing is not so bad until the watch goes and forgets the order you had them in, which can be mighty annoying. It's happened to me only once so far but, like aseeme555076 says you can sort of force it to order them how you want.
sw2 extension: "This is the official Sony application for SmartWatch 2 SW2. It enables you to utilize all the powerful Android benefits of this innovative smartphone accessory*. With this app, you can decide how your smartphone interacts with SmartWatch 2, what app extensions are available for your watch and how they are arranged. "
I tried several times to arrange them, "click and drag" but it was impossible, they didn't move :laugh:
Anyway, I miss this feature.It would be great to put them in a certain order. I wonder why Sony didn't make it possible to arrange them from the phone in sw2 extension app.
Hi to you all.
I am not using the default browser or the default calendar.
However, each time I open an internet link it asks me which browser to use and if it is punctual or permanent.
When I select permanent it directs me towards settings/general/applications by default.
When I go there, I only find the choice between Touchwiz and Nova my launcher, nothing on browser choice (or Calendar for which I have same issue): no other menu...
Could someone advise where I got it wrong?
Thanks a lot

usually if should ask which app to use and give a choice of always or just once. What country is yours from? maybe it is a regional thing.
