Voice Button on Symbols Keyboard Only - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

There has always been an option to keep the comma on the main keyboard, and have the voice button on the symbols keyboard only. This option seems to be gone with the new keyboard. Anybody know what I'm talking about and figured out a way to bring back this functionality?

Ugh, I hate the updated Google Keyboard! I liked the mic on symbols section!
I also liked all the old Blur colors, hate all this white in 4.4
Also symbols keyboard, the space bar is smaller too

New Sense 3 Lockscrren functionality

In case you have not noticed - the Sense 3.0 Lockscrren on out Sensations now has additional functionality.
To unlock the phone you drag the grey circle upwards. But you can also tap and drag one of the 4 icons (phone, mail, web, camera) and move them into the middle of the circle and you then jump right to that function.
I find that kinda neat, and of couse it opens the question - can we add custom icons / apps to this quicklauncher and if so how is this done?
Also, there seems to be a reproducible bug with the camera, at least in my phone. When I launch it likedescribed above it starts the camera app (i see the stuff the cam ispointing at in the display) but it lacksallof the control buttons. Is this hapening with your versions too or isitmaybe already fixed?
You're kidding, right?

He's been a member for like 5 - 6 years and has 130 posts I'm inclined to believe that that he's just a complete newb.
In such a case, go to settings and change your lockscreen shortcuts

Personalize -->Lock screen-->go to the lock screen you want and choose settings - tap app icon to change shortcuts
I was laughing at this then realized I have a question about the lockscreen too! Don't wanna start a new thread. So when you have an alternate launcher, you lose the ability to access the "personalize" section of the settings, which is where you change the lockscreen icons and ****. Now, to change the lockscreen type or icons, I need to disable Launcher Pro's defaults and use the Sense launcher. I don't change it often, so no biggie. But is there a way to change the lockscreen outside of the Sense launcher?

tj - just pull down the notification bar and go to all settings - personalize is at the top then mod your lockscreen
the only settings available is the htc modified version - thats why car home is blacklisted because if you try to pull up settings it crashes - doesn't care for the HTC version

See, with Launcher Pro at least, when I hit that Personalize button it just closes settings and throws me back to the homescreen. No FC or anything, I just go to my homescreen. Can anyone with an alternate launcher confirm this behavior for me? Is it just Launcher Pro, or maybe even just my device?

okay i see what you mean
zeam and launcher pro do the same thing if you select them to open personalize
you have to use sense to launch personalize
if you don't get prompted to choose between lpro and sense when you click personalize just clear the launcher pro defaults and next time you can choose sense. shouldnt make that big of a deal since sense will just get dropped once youre back in launcher pro
I have the camera bug also...

from what i can pull out of the OP's message, I think he was saying a bug where the lock screen will show the icons and background but also be displaying the image from the camera.
I first noticed this when I was using Barcode Scanner, left the app running, locked the phone, and then hit the unlock button. the normal lock screen would appear faded and then the live camera image. pretty cool looking i think
I can reproduce this
Almost got it with anycut - create a shortcut by long pressing the screen from whatever launcher you want then choose activity - scroll down and choose the second personalize listed - there should be three. the lock screen settings are there and load fine without crashing only problem is that your lockscreen will change to a theme but the icons on the lockscreen don't switch. I think if you tried out all thet settings options in anycut you could do it.

Well theme Chooser came out and it would be nice to be able to change features (icons,text color, etc) and be able to save them within Android itself and choose accordingly in the theme Chooser instead of a bunch of XML edits and apk edits

I want to see less threads about jelly bean wishlists.
For me, its 3G video calling and more refined UI
Options to customise the menu bar at the bottom. So always have the home button, but choose if back button, app list visible. Want the touchwiz screenshot button? Hold the menu bar, select the 'mini widget' and drop it there. Want the touchwiz popup app menu? Hold and select.
Want a mini widget that always shows if there's a new email and count? Choose if you want that notification to pop up in the usual notification area, or if a fixed point on the menu bar (tool bar?).
The popup settings bar, with the clock/notifications. Allow that to be customised too. Choose if you want it drag down from the top, pop up from the bottom and how (kinda built in Cyanogen features), and again, if you want mini-widgets on that to turn on/off wifi/bluetooth. The stuff that's there, but not standardised. Then, if Samsung/HTC want to customise their phones/tablets, it's just those mini-widgets they default to, to get the look they want. If you don't like it, you remove them and use standard halo theme. (or select more featured ones from the play store).
So if you want a really clean look, you can hide all those buttons, and use gestures (press and hold the menu bar, show the possible widgets, with settings per widget on which gesture to activate).
-rotatable home/lockscreen
-very fast screen orientation
-changeable color themes
-customizable lockscreen and notification bar
-more visual (transition)effects

I would love if the virtual soft buttons could be changed around too for handsets that Have them.
A longshot and probably not possible very easily but Uncompressed Images or at the very least, Lossless ones from any device cameras.
And on devices that have one, Configurable alerts for the on-board notification LED if I remember right way way back when my old Epix running winmo 6.x was able to do this.

Different emoji keyboards in Hangouts?

I'm using Google Keyboard on my S6 and when I'm in Hangouts I get two different emoji keyboards—the Google Keyboard (material background) emojis when I use the emoji button on the keyboard and a different (black, holo-ish background) set of emojis when I hit the emoji button in the Hangouts text box (next to send button).
I froze the Samsung Keyboard in TiBu and it's still happening. Anyone know if there's a way to get both of those buttons to launch the Google Keyboard emoji menu?
Your getting that because the hang outs app has its own separate emoji keyboard from the emoji keyboard built into Google keyboard there's no way to change that unless Google makes it an option on the hang outs app

Resize Samsung Floating onscreen keyboard

Currently I am using the floating onscreen Samsung keyboard on a Note 4 and using the swype / keyboard swipe like feature, but I find the keyboard is still too large.
I was wondering if anyone has a way in which I could resize it.
Thanks.
