[Q] SSuggest App langauge change - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm new at this so bare with me. Refurbished P3113 WiFi while loading apps I accidently hit a foreign language in S Suggest App and can't change it back. Samsung gave this long drawn out answer that won't work. Do I have to restore to factory settings?
Regards, Ed

Have you tried going to "all apps" and editing the settings on S Suggest App? I don't use this nor know what it even is, so just reading what worked for someone else...

Blocking mode

I was going through the settings and found out blocking mode. So thought of sharing here. I is very usefull when u don't want any calls and want to use your internet. No file moddiNg nothing is needed. U just need a launcher like apex or nova.
THEN just long press on home screen and select shortcut--> activities-->find settings and in settings search for the activity named 'blocking mode'.
That's all folks.
Edit : its not working. Hope someone would find how to make it work.
Naaah. Cant find it ! :|
Edit. Found it. but i have a shortcut on homescreen only. Not in settings :/
Edit again. NOT WORKING. GETTING CALLS AND NOTIFICATIONS EVEN AFTER ACTIVATION.
Actually I found out that somehow Samsung has hidden and/disabled many USEFUL features (and Blocking Mode is one of them...)
I tried to re-enable it but my Settings app kept force closing - proving that I must have been wrong somewhere....
Sent from my phone, because I'm away from my PC right now
Found it and its work.
Thanks!

FIXED VELVET LINK in original post it was in. Sorry. It's late here and I'm tired. Copying and pasting defeated me.
As for Search not working, it doesn't basically right now. Don't forget, we don't have 4.4 so some things will only work fully when we update. However, I read this that one guy did to apparently fix it
"If Google Now/Search is force closing on you...
Go to Settings > Language and Input > Language
And change it to "Espanol (Espana)" (Another language may work, but I tried it with this one)
Go back home, and try to make a search. If you don't know Spanish, say "me hablo espanol" (me hah-blow s-pan-yole)
Go back to Settings and change it back to English. See if this works.
It fixed it for me." I cannot say it does or doesn't work at all however.

I presume that will be a physical part of 4.4 itself, and not just the launcher app. As the transparent bars are a part of the rom itself in 4.4 I think.

Just tried all these, the launcher, Google now, and Hangouts work.
Touchless control still works with the new version of Now.
Hangouts seems a little slow to send SMS, but that might be my specific conversation list, as they are all huge amounts of messages. Emoji are present in Hangouts and send fine.
Launcher runs incredibly smooth and flawlessly.
I don't see a difference between the stock gallery app on my moto x and the new one. Camera works, but the buttons are stretched off the screen and selecting photosphere crashes the app.
OK, now use Google now. Force close.

Try to add another widget or icon, when you do move it to the right edge of the screen, another page will then appear.

Probably not, it was designed specifically for the Nexus 5 so something like that makes sense to be off. Why would you want to replace your Moto X camera with the N5 one anyway? you would lose specific Moto X features.

[APP][4.0+]Green Day Lyrics

Project closed
Hello,
I present to you, my first android application project.
As the name suggest, this app displays almost all the lyrics of songs by Punk Rock band called Green Day.
I personally love this band, so decided to make a cool lyrics app and share with every Green Day fan out there.
Being my first project, I tried my best to make it full of features.
Features :
- Navigation Drawer
- Theme Chooser
- Album cover background on every album and song.
- Details about every album/song (like track length, writers etc)
- Split Action Bar at each track, connects whole app internally.
- Directly report any error in song lyrics (no e-mail id required, no need to type name of track for reporting error)
- 'All Songs' screen displays all the songs on a single screen.
- Search Bar in 'All Songs' make it easy to search song, if you don't know the name of album of song.
- 'Now Playing' automatically detects current playing song in media player and shows its lyrics.
- Auto-Scrolling (working on it).
- More to come !
I have made this app open source. You can get the source code here.
Changelog here.
Download app
Play Store
Youtube video, demonstrating the app
Min. requirements are API 14 i.e. Android 4.0+
Feedback and suggestions are most welcome.
I have attached some screenshots.

Initially it didn't worked for me too. Reboot your device and try again. For me, it works fine on Poweramp. If problem persists, give me a logcat so that I can look into the problem.
Edit: I just rechecked it, seems like feature is not working for poweramp. Feature is fully working with Play music and Apollo music player, I will look into problem with poweramp. Thanks for reporting.
Yes it is working for both.
Now what all u can include, you can include a player itself inside it so there would be no compatibility issues, then an artwork embedder(only for green day songs), then bring in a news tab which could show the live performances happening the a little about green day like about Bille Joe Armstrong and all like that.
There is a lot of scope for improvement and once all done make this app a paid one and release a free app with it.

I don't know about including a player, never tried something like that before. However, I will definitely try to add it.
About the news tab, I don't know if I have rights to display filtered data from official Green Day . com website into my app.
About the info. stuff, I have already added it in Settings, and linked to wikipedia link of the members.
BTW I am thinking of providing this app for free only. There will be a donate version, but that will be just for those who want to support. Otherwise, there will not be any differences between free and donate version (i won't put any ads too).
I don't aim to make profit from this app

Hey there, can you test this apk?

After installing, enable auto scrolling in settings, then go to american idiot > american idiot
Then slide from top to bottom. Tell me if I should implement this feature in other songs too?

[Q] Slow Share menu

Since the most recent update, my Share menu takes a long time to come up when I share a link from apps. Apps I can duplicate the issue with (because I use them all the time) are Reddit Sync Pro and Reddit Now, but it seems to be system-wide. It takes a good 5-10 seconds for the share menu to come up.
I cleared Dalvik and cache and the issue persists. Once, I took a screenshot and when I tapped "share" in the notification shade, it rebooted the phone. Is anyone else experiencing anything like this? There's nothing else weird on my phone. I don't have Xposed or anything. It's just rooted.
I installed the application "appchooser" as a replacement for the system app chooser and now it's back to being fast like it was, but I'm trying to confirm whether or not anyone else has seen this issue after the update, as it's definitely something i have never seen before.
No issues here
I just performed the same steps and my share menu options come up for me instantly, but the only options I have beside the default are Skype and LINE. I would suggest trying to uninstall the Reddit apps, then try again and see if it's still slow. If that resolves it, I would write to the developer of the Reddit app and make them aware of the behavior.

Thanks. The thing is, it was coming up instantly in both apps before the Cyanogenmod update. And it's weird that it wouldn't affect a share app replacement like appchooser.

Quite... I'm on 30O as well. It's a rather bizarre issue isn't it. Nonetheless, I'd try what I recommended first. This is the troubleshooting process mate. It's a process of elimination.
I have two One's both updated to 4.4.4 and both share functions are messed up. It's definitely the software. Here's how I came to that conclusion. One of my phones is stock everything, no mods and or root. I took the ota the conventional way. The share feature no matter what app I'm using displays an black screen. The second phone is modded, rooted, custom recovery, and it was updated manually using Caulk's modded files. Its share function does exactly the same thing as the non modded phone does. It worked fine on 4.4.2

Well that's quite bizarre then. I have unlocked, rooted, with OTA 30O and my sharing functionality works just fine. I've shared several things since my update as well.
Report the issue on the official CM site so the developers can look into it.

Thanks for confirming. Nice to know I'm not crazy (or the only one).
A workaround for now is to install a different app picker app. This one works really well and has helped me keep my sanity: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.noxi.apppicker&hl=en

Worked like a charm, there's an extra step but I can live with that. I wonder if I could set it as the default app, maybe move it to the system priv-app.

You should be able to set it as your default app chooser. I did.
I have been trying to find that option in settings but don't see it, I see the set SMS app. Usually on a TW or non CM ROM it always asks you the default app but it didn't ask me. Maybe I'll try clearing defaults and see if that helps.

Nah. The first time you share something after you install it, you should have the "always" and "just once" options.
Strange because Google Chrome doesn't give me that option. I understand what your saying. What I did was installed a different browser and sure enough it asked which default app I wanted to use. So I cleared Chrome and same as before it doesn't ask me for the default app. So I think it might be the updated chrome.

OK, so honest question... What's wrong with the built-in chooser? I mean, what's the advantage to using a third-party one? I generally prefer to run as close to native as possibly for performance reasons and to avoid bugs just like this one.

Did you read ANY of the thread? The bug is in the stock chooser, at least for us. We're only using a third party one to circumvent the bug.
To answer your question, the only real advantage otherwise is that you can remove things you don't want to see on your share menu. So, if you NEVER share to Google+, for instance, you can remove it so it doesn't show up as an option. You can restore these later, if you want them back.

Nice! Glad you got it working. I use Chrome Beta as my default browser.
I misunderstood then because I thought it was the app you were having issues with. In that case, I refer back to my first reply. I am also using the stock chooser and have not had this issue after updating, so it seems it's not universal. For whatever reason you guys got the bug while I did not.

Probably a solution!
Hey!
I had the same issue! After some experiments (wipe cache and dalvik) I changed my design back to default design (Holo, checked every box) via Design-Manager in CM11s - voilà, no slow share menu anymore!

It's amazing how much damage theming does. It even causes issues with Play Store.
Yeah, sadly there are some issues, but this is the biggest I found.
How long does the share menu need to show up on your phones? On my OPO it needs about 1 sec in chrome and under 1 sec in every other app.
I have a feeling that the menu opened quicker before...

I'm having this issue too and its so frustrating. It started happening when I updated to Marshmallow. I'm using the default theme, so it's probably not what causes it for me. Sharing from Youtube isn't slow though, but that's a different menu I guess.
Any suggestions?
