my q is still not answered though

Don't know about the lingo one. I've got the Merriam webster one and I believe it's more than fine, especially since it comes with pron, so exactly what you want, I believe. In addition, you can add other dics and they all appear under each other. Really cool for any english learner/teacher.

Oh ok, well if you downloaded the newest Rom which is the one in my signature located below (version 23) you can go to tools folder and go to extras and mess around from there like make it slim, transparent, and change the clock and font and all. Hope this helps.

Want app that speaks alerts

Hi, I wondered if anyone has come across an app which will speak alerts to me?
Perhaps something like "Text message from Jemima Puddleduck" and "Email from John Doe".
And preferably in a human sounding voice, not that abomination that is the standard Android text-to-speech!
Any ideas?
check out "Vlingo" or "edwin"
Just tried both, but neither does what I want :-(

you won't find any. An app would be alot more than the usuall 0.5 to 2mb. My reason for saying that you won't find any is because the app would have to know every name (and surname!) in the world, also any nickname etc! You'd proboly find that would tell who it is just by spelling the name out letter by letter, and even that wouldn't be very smooth (tone between letters and speed).
hope this helps! good luck!

I don't know if you're right. I don't think it would take that much space. Sure it wouldn't fit in 2megs, but I reckon fifty megs would be sufficient for all known English names. That's just a figure pulled out of my arse btw!
How about a custom message tone for a person that is a recording you have made. You would have to record a message for each person you want this for, Not the most user friendly way but will do what you want.

woow, no need for that kind of sh!t anyways.. what if you have someone saved in as a nickname (Ginger, Gypsy, my 2 favorite contacts ;D) then it would not tell you who was calling you cos the app would not know how to pernounce it..
hope this helps! good luck!

One of the best apps out there is called Tasker. It can do everything! One of it's tricks is you can set it up to read your text messages out.
Is quite tricky to get used to at first, but once you 'click' with it, its fantastic.
It costs £4 (which is a bargain IMO) but there is also a free 1 week trial.

Agree with Tasker, I am using it
BUT .... BUT ...
It does NOT have this say NAME feature.
Tasker can only say the phone number.
The developer plan to add this feature in the next release ... Which we don't know when ... or NEVER

Some Malaysians have accent that make them mispronounce words, if you pronounce the word correctly, it should work.

Spot on, it's not the accent but pronunciations of the words.
Also many people don't realize they don't speak clearly or have speaking problems.
to OP, not to sound insensitive, but how is your incorrect pronunciation of words Google Now's fault?
Not to cause any disturbance here but I work with importation and some asians are EXTREMELY hard to understand, I have to tell them to write me an email... so pay attention to you accent and pronunciation while using Google Now!

Hey Buddy.
I am also from India and Until yesterday i was using galaxy s2 and i was able to use google now perfectly on that. Today i bought galasy s3. Now i am able to install google now without any problem and it is working too. however, the problem is changing the language. On S2, when i changed the language and tapped ENGLISH, it further gave me many options like English(US), English(UK), English(India) etc. Now on S3, it is stuck on English (US), and my accent is not recognized by English(US). Also when i change the language to some other, it does not come back to English even on selecting it. But my main problem is that only that i am not able to select English(India). Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Out of curiousity, has the bus stop card ever appeared for you? I use busses pretty often (bangalore, here.) and it's not shown up once :/
Not sure I am American living and Germany and Google now understands 50% of the time. Like I said wake me up at 6am well it understood bake shake sake lake but wake nope. Stupid **** I tell you. Voice recognition still blows major and i stick with typing it. Who needs siri or Google now? I wish it would work but nope. It sucks.

Want ROM comparison chart . . . pretty please

Wouldn’t it be a good idea for someone to compile a list of the available ROM’s with their differing attributes for our N7105.
.
For instance I have installed eight different custom Rom’s on my N7105 in vain, looking for a ROM that has multi window, and a proper document spell checker built in, that’s one that underscores all misspelt words in a sentence in red, and with suggested corrections. It would save a lot of frustration if we could have a ROM comparison chart . . . Please?

No, please don't do this. Thanks.

Well I’m not as experienced or knowledgeable as most of the contributors here, however I am prepared to start it off by putting an primary list up as long as you guys help out by correcting, adding and editing this list. So should I start it ?

Why do you have to compare hard work done by devs publicly? You can use some roms and figure out which one is your favorite.
Don't do this... Bad idea... You will hack off the devs... I've already had enough with my MiniTAB ROM as well...

OK yes point taken, and I will take no part in making a list. But I only wanted a list of the attributes that came with each ROM I did not want comments of any sort in this list, after all mostly each developer posts a compiled list of what is in their Rom in the first place and some items will be more important than others to an individual.
.
Theres just no point. Even with a list of features you wont know what you will like until you try it, then we go into opinions. Best thing to do is just browse over the roms, find a few roms with features you like, then give them a test. Comparison charts just start more trouble then its worth, Dont take it the wrong way Good luck in finding your rom!
Can’t find ROM with spell checking
Yes I accept what you and others say here, but having read what information is available on sixteen ROMs so far, and also taken the time to install and then remove eight of them in search of a whole page Spell Checker, it is very frustrating that none mention if this is included or not, and I need this because my spelling is atrocious.

Why cant you download one of the play store and use that? Is that so hard? Once you find the app you like you can add it to every Rom you use. Then you wouldn't be so frustrated.
no such App available on Play Store

Otherwise use a keyboard with a good dictionary, swype or swiftkey
if that doesnt work try a program like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.usr.dict.mgr&hl=en to edit the dictionary,

As scarecrow2012 mentioned, a simple choice of keyboard app will definitely help. For my case, Swype is doing me every bit of justice for spelling.

Swype; Swype Keboard no longer comes up on Play Store for me, strange because I do think I remember looking at that once, but if I remember right it didn’t check a whole sentence, after I had finished writing instead I had to make corrections at the typing of each word, very ‘frustrating’ I would prefer to spell check at the end, I need to get my thoughts down before I forget what I want to say, (give me a break here im 64 years old) Ok so I could get by with a swiftkey keyboard but I’m loking to get the best ROM for me not just make do, after all thats why I Rooted and am trying different Rom’s, otherwise I would just have kept the phones Samsung Rom.

Uhm, maybe you are right. But what I see is that Google is shifting the talk to the whatsapp/line/bbm -alike messaging. To think of it, I'd say it's not a bad move though as there's proven track record from the mentioned communication app even though the lack of "see who's online" option.
