Those are clipboard managers. The first on only works till 2.3 android, and others are not the text selectors.
Maybe I expressed myself incorrectly. What I really miss from old desire is that quick text selection with separate magnifier button (lookup in wikipedia, word define, translate) demo can bee seen :

Because now when I want to translate or define a world I have to select text select share search for translate app select that app. Previously on sense UI it was: select text click magnifier and vualia.
But anyway thanks for trying to help.

Ok I understand and I've just found (and tried) Finger Translate.
Select a text then copy it and you will have a pop-up (or toast notification) with 2 options: Copy or Translate. It works on KitKat 4.4.2.
It's almost the same feature as the youtube video. Does it suit you?
You could also try this other app: Touch Translator

Not as good as it was on Sense, but I will give it a try and test in in daily use.
BTW selecting only toast (I don't need dialog every time I select copy) is not working. It shows dialog. Well if it will not annoys me in future I will stick with it
Thank you!

If you are talking about orizontal lines between different today plug-in, I'm looking for the same answer.
From what I read, I figured out it isn't possible... and my girlfriend, the picture of her that I use as background, still has a purple linee going trough her eye!!!

It is possible if you use Tweak2K software. Choose system colour Today line and way u go!!
Another method is use ThemeGenCE an application to edit and create Themes on your PC. Just Google for those software.

That doesn't hide them now does it? It only changes the colour.
with ultimate launch you can do this ... just select it as the only plugin and load the other ones within ultimate launch

This sound interesting.
Anyway you can load HTC Home within UltimateLaunch???
Hiding the seperator lines ...
have you tried editing the xml file and setting the border width at "0" (e.g.,
b-border-color="transparent" b-border-width="0") ?
is anyone willing to mention which xml file this referrs to?
Colored Lines
Not certain if PPC's are too different from Smartphones, but in the "Application Data\Home" folder, you'll find the xml files used to drive the GUI interface of the Home/Today screen. These are completely editable - within these files you should find what I referenced above.
search for an app called UI TWEAKER .... it is a little complicated but you can do it and a lot of other cool stuff
here the solution
for me this works (on WM6.5)
completly invisible separator line, completly satisfation

I agree a widget would be good, I am currently working on that. Thank you for your comment ^.^
Will have a try soon !!
Looking plain and simple... will have a look soon ...
You would be surprised how hard it is to find a notepad app that is plain and simple and not confusing the minute you look at it.
And then the few simple ones out there use really ugly buttons and colors.. =_=;
Maybe its just my taste and opinion though.
Looking good.
If you make a scrollable home widget and make a dropbox syncing option I would buy/donate in a heartbeat.

Bug on Xperia mini pro
Hey,
I am not sure if this is the right place to report a bug, but on my SE Xperia mini pro, it does not always save the notes.
When i open the app and no other notes are there yet, i press "Add Note" and type something. When i press "Save Note" then, it still says "No Notes".
I have to type my note two or three times, until it actually saves them.
Theres an alternative notepad app, called JotPad (you can find it on google play).
Unlike conventional notepads, you don't need to create new notes everytime. it comes with 5 empty pages which autosave, and allow you to write your notes. Just one click and you can start typing your notes immediately. It also lets you click any line on the page and let you type into that line immediately (without pressing enter numerous times)
Widget will be out soon hopefully...

[Q] s note - wheres the productivity tools ?

New user here guys so this maybe a stupid question, but where's the prod tools icon ??

I'm just wondering if someone can elaborate on this a little bit and let us know how to fix this. I don't seem to have the productivity toolbar or haven't found where to select it. Specifically I can't do the handwriting recognition.
Thanks
The first icon enables or disables edit.
Next to this, in fact to the right of it, is a group of 4 icons.
The first is the drawing icon, next is the icon that you're looking for.
By double tapping it you can change between various features including formula, shape and text recognition.
Maybe this is common knowledge but I just discovered today that different templates have different functions embedded in them that apparently aren't available in other templates, e.g. long pressing on the contacts field in the meeting template allows you to bring up your contacts, you can also bring up a change date window in the date field etc.
In the diary you can change the weather icon types, in travel you can open maps app and import a clipping of an area and so on. It's very disappointing that you cannot seem to insert/use these fields in every note. The functions you want don't appear to be in a memo based note but are in others.

Agreed. This seems like quite an oversight on Samsung's part. You should be able to use all of the functionality regardless of the template. This took me a while to figure out until I watched their videos over again and picked up on this.

Same issue here. You have to pick a template to suit what you want to create. Its quite confusing. There also seems to be little documentation about what template has what tool.I can understand the floating note pad not having all tools but everything in the full snote app should have them. Maybe a tools toggle button to turn on and off what you want in the tool bar would make even more sense.
But i still enjoy the device

Hi. Pls let me know if you ever found out if the memo template has the productivity tools icon. I also can't find it.
productivity tools
To reach the handwriting to text, click on the productivity tools twice or hover over the button with your s pen and click once (looks like the shape button) a drop down menu will show up with the handwriting to text on the last options. Hopes this helps :fingers-crossed:
HI all
I have note 10.1 2014, and the snote does not have productivity tool icon in any template I have tried. Can someone help me?
The attached image is what I get in snote:
thanks

[Q] HTC browser "read mode"

Hello !
I've installed IC 3.7.0 + Exceed Kernel + Synapse and the phone work well
There is just one thing that I don't like at all ... but I don't know if it depends from InsertCoin or not.
I have an old Desire X with Sens 4.1+ and the HTC browser allows to enter a "read mode" that is useful for reading newspaper's articles ! When you click a little square icon near the web address (see photos in attachment), the page is re-opened in a "read mode", without banners, colors or pop-up, but just a clean text page ! ... like word or PDF texte.
I've downloaded also the last HTC browser .apk but there no way to find this option...
Does anybody know how to find/install this future ?
... mmmh ... no replies, no idea ?

Hey ya
For now I'm having android 5.1 (cm12.1) but as I can recall from IC, there was no reader mode on default browser But as an alternative, there's a reader mode on chrome browser which is hidden under chrome flags :good: Here's how to enable it:
1. Open Chrome (make sure you're running the latest version) and type chrome://flags in the address bar. Press Go.
2. Head to Menu > Find on Page and search for "Enable Reader Mode Toolbar Icon". Click the Enable link under that setting.
3. Relaunch Chrome when prompted.
Hope that would help you
That works
I don't understand why HTC has not implemented this future in Sense 6. I've taken a look to HTC site and "read mode" is only for few old models, some Desires and One V. I think the stock ROM of One mini doesn't have this option, it's not a bug of IC.
Anyway, I've to say that HTC browser, in my device, it is more smooth and the text re-size is nice, Chrome is faster but not as fluent as HTC...
In the other hand Chrome has "read mode" and you can also modify the text size !
Thank you !!
:good:
sorry for the dumb question: I enabled the option but can't find a damn symbol for it. where is it?
