IK had a widget "A sticky note" for 4 years. It shows a text which I can edit. When I was adding new text (i.e. things to do) then older text would shift downwards. The current entries would always stay on the top, and the widget was showing the top without having to open the application.
After the upgrade to Oreo and Emui 8.0.0.366, the widget still shows the top, but when I open it, the keyboard's cursor jumps to the end of the text. I tried with another widget "Simple Note", same result. Is there any way for the insertion point to stay on top of the text ? As it did in Emui 5.0.00 ?
Alternatively, does anyone know about a sticky text widget which can restore the position of keyboard entry to the point where it was left on previous session. My QuickEdit does that , but it is not a widget.

Sorry if this is an easy fix, but I can't seem to find an answer anywhere. When I get a new text message, the soft button on the left comes up as "reply" (the right is menu) is there a way to change this to "view" as sometimes I don't want to reply to a text, but do want to view the whole message.
Also, is there a way to add a shortcut (or change one of the soft buttons on the today screen) to start a new text message?
Thanks
intresting question got the same problem
I would like this too!

You basically should create a new shortcut as a program that has the command to invoke a new SMS. You can then use something like Schap's Advanced Config Tool to assign that shortcut to one of the soft keys. You can also assign it to one of the hardware buttons if you want.
You should also try searching. If you type "new sms shortcut" you will get many links to the solution.
Thanks, but that doesn't solve the main problem, in that when I get a new sms, the notification window comes up, and the left soft button is "reply" and the right is "menu" (which does not have a view option) so to view the message, I have to get rid of the notification, go into messaging, and then open the message. What I'd like to be able to do is when the new sms notification comes up, I'd like the left soft button to be "view" so I can just hit that and go straight to the message.
If the entire message is visible in the notification window it doesn't give you an option to "View", that's when you get "Reply". If you get a really long text message that doesn't completely show in the notification window, the "Reply" button will be a "View" button that will take you into Messaging to view the entire message. I'm not sure how to always have it be the "View" button.
gringolian, if you find something to change the reply to view, then let me know!
On my wife's ChaCha (natch)
She managed to move a shortcut to the very bottom left position on the home screen.
This is, of course hidden by the "All Applications" icon that slides up every time the home screen is accessed.
Whatever we do we cannot select it to drag it to the trash as it is hidden by the semi-transparent "All Applications" icon.
Anyone know of another way to get rid of a shortcut?
Change scene and then pick the scene you want again and customize it from scratch.
I have ADW EX 1.3.3.8.
In previous versions, you could 'turn on" navigation dots which sat left and right of the dock. If you has 7 screens, and were on the center one, it would show
... dock ...
If you touched the left dots, it would move left one screen and show
.. dock ....
Touch again
. dock .....
I loved this nav facility and used it constantly, but it is gone in recent versions. Now there are Launcher Actions to "Go Previous" and "Go Next" to move screen left and right. You can put these on the left and right ends of the dock for moving the screens.
(But you no longer get the info of how many screens are to the left and right--they are just fixed icons)
Still, I would like to have dots there and have created a 72 x 72 px icon for it. But I cannot figure out how to use this instead of the standard icons for the two functions. I saw a youtube video which showed longpress on an icon to edit it, but that no longer works in my (current) version.
Can anyone tell me how I can "put in" (ATT Galaxy SIII) the icon I created and for it to be used in place of those two standard ADW ones?
Thanks.
SOLVED.
Guess I was too quick. After lots of fumbling, I found the 'edit icon' is now double tap instead of long press. Was able to get them changed to my dots icon.
Still, if anyone knows the ADW author and can influence him, it would be wonderful to get the old system back because it showed, by changing the number of dots, where you were positioned in the screens. It was an excellent system, and it would be terrific to get it back.
Good To Go, another solved issue.
How can I change this? It seems system-wide.
Note: I would generically call this "text editing" but NOT as defined by common tech circles.
When revising texts, emails or posts I need to move a cursor to a single character. This can be easy or it can be downright impossible. At least in text messaging, I can increase the font size with the Volume Up bar--YES!
The Select All/Copy (etc) toolbar can be invoked 75% of the time. Out of those successes, It took multiple attempts at least half the time.
The convention to selecting long sections of text is, drag the lower selector to the bottom of the screen, hold, and the copy automatically scrolls (sometimes slow, sometimes lightning fast). Since Lollipop I can't figure out how to do this.
Sometimes I get a notice that "X has been copied to the clipboard" and sometimes not. Sometimes I've copied but can't Paste! Saving an image from browsers into the Gallery is sometimes easy (long press) and sometimes elaborate.
Hi guys
I was wondering is there is a way to move the keyboard to the top of the screen ?
Imagine you text message app.
When the keyboard is closed, the app uses the whole screen.
When the keyboard opens, the top of the screen remain the same, but the bottom, where you can type an message is "pushed up"and the keyboard is displayed bellow.
I'm thinking at excatly the same behaviour, but, instead of "pushing up" the bottom toward the top, the keyboard would "push down" the top toward the bottom.
In my text mesage app, it would push the header where you find the name of the contact as well as a "call" button".
Any suggestion would be welcomed, with or without root, and with various behaviours
