[Q] Select Copy/Paste text like Sence roms.. and

Hi,
I have recently converted from Sence based ROM to Vanilia based ROM (OpenDesire 4.0) and trying to find some alternative apps for the core features I use all the time on my phone. The main one I am looking for is an app which can select/copy and paste in most apps?
I have tried searching and googling and only seem to find this one which takes a screen shot and then OCR's but people say its very inaccreate. I am also only really looking for text not so much images.
Anyone got any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

That is exaclty what I am looking for!
I started a thread once, but it pretty much ended nowhere.
it's this one here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=753056

Thanks for the link. It seems its the same one I noticed earlier which doesnt quite do what I want. Will keep doing some research and will let you know if I find one suitable for just text.

Yeah, it didn't quiet do what I want either
Oh yes, please keep me updated if you find something out, would really appreciate it.

Will do.
Just sorting out a few other apps atm due to converting from sence based ROM's.

Search the market for an app called 'Copy Paste It'. It's not as good as the Sense copy paste but it works pretty well.
Hope this helps

heheh no problem. Looks like atm its the only opton. Shame really.

The htc Sense "copy/past" make all the difference..I'm SO UPSET that ONLY htc SENSE can make that !! I was happy too with my cyanogen Rom until I discover that navigation without the copy/past is just ****..how the F**k they didnt think about that when they realized these roms to include it!! because of that im back to htc sense which is so far the best for rightnow, I know that the problem is related to the "browser" naked in android, and the htc one called WEBKIT 3.1 have it...why is it not possible to include then the WEBKIT browser in the other non sense roms then ????

ota is coming today on nexus so hope that we can port it (until source comes)

Thanks for effort Adam.
But this is the same ugly froyo UI if you ask me..Cant wait for Sense Gingerbread roms!

Have they mentioned when the source code will become available?

Thanks . Can't wait

In the coming weeks

When do you think we can expect to see a 2.3 oxygen rom?

Exactly this, it looks horrid!! Google, for all their power, cannot design an attractive UI

Really hope the UI is improved.... doesn't look promising. Can't see any improvements yet.

2.3 is a minor update the major ui update isnt expected untill 3.0
anyway the updates listed in the SDK look very good for the Android platform

Agreed, I've always hated the stock Google UI and somehow (if those screenshots are a true reflection of Gingerbread) they've made it worse!

Well the new keyboard looks good

I personally feel that the Google UI is way better than than the Sense UI. It's much more snappier.

Love the behind the scenes tweaks, but the UI isn't great. Take a page out of iOS for pete's sake.

HeroGetsHoney v0.1

Hey Guys!
Well I seen a thread in the general section talking about the posssibility of Android 3.0 or Honeycomb for Hero. I decided to have a go at porting a Magic HC ROM and so here it is. It works okay, can be sluggish at times but it's really only a proof of concept but if there's enough interest I'll consider improving it to try and get everything working. This ROM is really a joint effort between me and Ybinnenweg, he's helped me develop every rom i've ever built so far so we may as well stick together .
Thanks to:
yohshua for the original rom.
Ybinnenweg for his advice and support
Elelinux for the update-script
Okay down to business..
Whats working?
- Led's
- Auto-Rotate ( it rotates after using camera but doesn't rotate back :L )
- Full Honeycomb UI
- Auto-Brightness
- SD Card mount?
- Key Lights
- Not sure what else.. find out!
Whats not working?
- Sound
- SMS
- Calls
- Camera
- USB Storage
- Bluetooth
- Wifi
Thanks to Ybinnenweg for screens
Downloads:
Superuser Fix
HeroGetsHoney v0.1
P.S: I know it says welcome to Elelinux-speedmachine, that's only because i used his updater-script. It'll be fixed in the next build

Changelog
v0.2:

- Las Venturas 0.4.5 Kernel: http://www.multiupload.com/4LSROB7RQM

Wow! Any screens? How fast is it?

OMG! Great news!

I can't post screens atm, as I use my phone for work and can't use a ROM that has limited functionality for a while, I'll try get something up later. The speed is okay, it's not great but it's using fly-kernel12a, not tried using LV with it so i'm not sure if that will improve the speed. Test it out for me, any feedback is much appreciated

Nice to see you working on this but you've a lot of work to do good luck with it.
Hope this one is easier to port than MIUI

what recovery are you using?

I'm using RA 1.6.2a

Lol, didn't thought it was possible to port because Google hadn't released the code I am willing to try as soon it gets a bit more usable

As the dev is AFK
Here are the screens that I've taken, they will be on the OP

Thats true, don't think he ever posted on here though. I think it was more out of interest that he done it rather than a official ROM.

Just curious, will calling and sending text messages ever be fixed?

Look there is no market seeing the screenshot

Probably, I'm having a look at that just now actually, the magic rom has sms working so we should be able to get that fixed aswell

HTC Desire Gingerbread UPDATE THIS WEEK

Please note that we are working now to release the 2.3 for HTC Desire.
Unfortunately we don’t have the name of the applications that will be removed from the update however you will be able to install them from Market.
Kindly follow our Facebook page in order to be aware of all the news. 20.05.2011

Yay! another thread on the same thing!! w00t!

Get used to it untill it's over it was the same deal through june, july and august prior to the froyo update last year.
Also great news for everyone on sense roms

this is the last news from htc suport

As long as the apps removed are not part of the sense experience.

Which is exactly the same as they have already stated on facebook, which is exactly the same as already stated in other posts.

I still think they should reconsider and just move stuff from sense into htc hub - save space and make me happier if they shifted STOCKS off my phone!

actually this solution would be there already as from the beginning, or this should not be a special workaround just for Desire from now on. We'll see it.

also can you link us the link from your original source as looking on twitter and FB i couldnt see them reference anything new since last week.
I don't like having to edit custom rom's to remove the stock.apk out just to do something that should be optional anyway...
who uses stocks? no one - that's who.... (or at least I think the majority don't use it!)

im using the stock froyo:X because im waiting the update

Wrong stocks

OFFTOPIC: How many Threads whit same topic now open???
I think u can long wait en_mih - Vodafone need many time i think... :>

edit: or were you referring to the comment about 'using stock froyo'

I'm using stock since yesterday... I've been using oxygen, smooth, very, very fast rom and brilliant battery life but today I discovered that MMS are not working at all on the correct settings. I've been reinstalling oxy etc. but no success.
Now I'm on stock froyo and I think that it's smoothier than some other roms from xda. (Sense 2.1+3.0 mixes)
No examples but like I said, no problematic and smooth rom.
I've been using custom roms for months, always some sh**... random reebots / USB speed problem (kernels and sh***)... Now I can say 'uff' - everything works.
Sry for my eng - polish native

Yes yes, stock rom is very stable and is fast, and waiting for ginger 2.3 stock.

Can anyone share link where can I find stock ROM?

yes - RUU link is in my sig and here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869048

hey there one advantage of the Desire limited ROM Space, if HTC have to remove stuff to get 2.3 out.. then surely there no room for the Carriers to put in all there junk... or will they just have a hish fit cause they can't put there junk on and so not roll out there own 2.3
phew glad i am on an unbranded handset

Yeah I was thinking that myself! Actually my Desire was originally Orange (Spain) branded and they had put all this awful bloatware on it so that was my original reason for rooting and good thing too! I think Orange are the worst for it, though I've heard Vodafone are pretty bad too...

I'm on Vodafone but there is no bloatware on my device. Not even a Vodafone logo.

[Q] Maps Latitude doesn't work within Jelly Bean

Hi!
I'm having the problem that in Jelly Bean now maps doesn't show any Latitude-friends. It says there were no friends.
I first thought this was because now I've changed my GMail domain (in Germany it first was googlemail.com and now you could switch to gmail.com), but on my Xoom running ICS and the latest maps it works all right. It's just on my GN, where it doesn't work.
Does anyone else have this problem? Or does s.o. have an idea how to fix it?
Regards
McDV

Fix for Latitude
Delete the APK /System/App/maps.apk and redownload from the market. I can now see all my latitude friends.

Just wait for the official release of JB, this version is not the last build of JB and will be very "unstable".... Why dont you guys doenst just wait ????

Why should we?
1) I generally use CM9-nightlies, so why not this?
2) It surely is not very unstable, instead, it's pretty stable. Think about it: They want to release the official version in mid july! What do you think how much they can fix until then? There might be single small bugs left, but if the system could still be considered "unstable", they wouldn't release it before fall! And they wouldn't hand out a firmware to the press, if it wasn't - over all - finish. Just imagine what the Apple-community would write in their blogs...

No one complains, we just ask for solutions that - obviously - exist. There's nothing wrong about it.
I really hate those guys with their "just wait for the official release" stuff. No one prevents you guys from waiting, but please let us enthusiasts test it and let us discuss ways to solve existing bugs on our own. If this annoys you, just don't read it! Thanks!

Glad I searched XDA for this problem - the fix worked for me too. I'm impressed with how stable the leak is already. This has been my only problem so far with native Google apps, or the ROM itself.

How in Tarnations did you manage to install Jelly Bean, if you can't figure out that you need to be rooted to do that?
Protip: I would save/backup the apk somewhere else instead of deleting it so that I can replace it when the final JB update rolls out. This way, nothing gets borked.

Just to respond to the CM9, 4.1 releasing in two-ish weeks so how could many updates occur and the Apple bit:
You say you use CM9 nightlies? Have you noticed just how many bug fixes the CM team can apply in one night? I've seen dozens, and occasionally around 100 bug fixes in a single evening. The CM team is a group (an admittedly large group for independent developers) of people who code for CM on their spare time and are not paid for their work. Imagine what a legion of official Android developers paid by Google for their work on Android could accomplish with bug fixes in a matter of a fortnight! Also, Apple releases developer previews of iOS every single year that are ALSO filled with huge bugs, broken and/or missing features, all the way up to a week or two prior to official release (and sometimes those bugs make it into multiple official releases). The reason you don't hear about the iOS bugs so much is that you have to pay for a developer's license for iOS in order to install most iOS developer previews (unless there is a workaround). In this case, 6,000 Galaxy Nexus and 6,000 Nexus 7's were given to 6,000 developers to preview the software so that they could start getting their applications ready for release. This 'release' was never intended for the end user and was probably already out of date compared to Google's internal builds by the time it came out to those 6,000 folks.
If you want to test it out too, that's awesome! However, it is completely pointless to complain about problems with software that hasn't even been officially released yet and you were never intended to be running to begin with. Also, all non-GSM Galaxy Nexus ROMs are ports and have added bugs as well. The Jelly Bean preview is largely stable and already an excellent update. I just wish Google had held onto it for the full release as users are using the preview's bugs (Google has already stated they are working on bugs they know are in the preview, and some have already been fixed) as an example of exactly what the official release will be like already.

I ask you once again: Who complained about a bug??? Please tell me! No one did! There is just a question of how to cope with an existing bug or how to fix it on our own, but not even one person in this thread complained about the release not being bugless! The only one complaining about things is you, but your complains are totally off-topic. I hope you got it now!

could anyone upload the apk?
Thanks.
