Voice input button missing on leaked froyo keyboard

On the 2.1 ROM, the keyboard had a little microphone button that allowed you to perform voice input. On the new 2.2 keyboard, this has been replaced with a language-switching button. How do you bring up the voice input button? I saw a few references to swiping, but it doesn't seem to work.

Mine has the voice input button not sure why yours doesn't...

yea mine doesnt have it either, any of the other ROMS have it i got the stock rooted rom

Mine has it.

Mine does not. I'm running the froyo stock rooted (odex) rom. How do I get this back?
Thanks,

Ok - so I'm not crazy. At least a few of you are having this problem. Maybe we just have to wait for the "OFFICIAL" release? Though I don't understand why they would have moved/removed this feature.

I'm convinced the .3 release is the official release... The .1 (Ava) release is the one I think HTC was concerned about. We'll see tomorrow, I suppose.

Ok, I managed to "fix" it on my phone.
I flashed netarchy's "final" 2.2 OTA rooted image on my phone, and noticed that I had my voice input back. As soon as I ran Titanium Backup and restored everything is when I started having the problem.
Solution? Just wipe the whole damn thing, and selectively restore what I needed from Titanium Backup (which doesn't seem to include the package that causes my keyboard to lose voice input).

Ha! I just came to the same conclusion and was rushing over here to post pretty much the same message. I'm glad you got it figured out as well.
I restored all of my apps, but none of the phone settings the second time around, and everything worked fine.

Excellent. Gotta love the forums

You can fix it by going into the keyboard settings and making sure English is the only language is selected. Look for my [A] thread.

That was the first thing I tried. All it does is grey out the button so that you can't select anything.

Since you said you were able to fix it by just using TI to backup what you wanted, is there a chance you can backup a working IME version? I flashed over DC 3.2.3, so that may be the reason.

Sorry for the late reply. It wasn't that I backed up a good version, it's that I didn't restore the bad version. In other words, I'm using the exact keyboard that came with the 2.2 update. I tried to restore everything EXCEPT for the keyboard, but that didn't seem to do it either. It must not be named properly, or some other non-obvious config that is interfering with it.

Has this not been solved yet? is there no way to grab the sense 2.2 keyboard app and then force the voice input button on there?

Anyone have a solution that doesn't require wiping your phone?

Doing a TI backup, wiping and restoring with TI took virtually no effort and reconfiguration. It is by far the easiest way to do this.
Do a batch TI backup for just your apps + data, then manually backup the green items and pick a few of the others you need (voicemail, user dictionary, etc). All I have to do now is update the TI backups I already have to prepare myself for a full wipe.

[Q] Installed Fresh Evo - All Sprint Apps Disappear?

First off, I apologize if this has been covered already....I've done hours of searching, and haven't found it.
Ok, here's the problem: I had noticed that things like App Sharing were no longer in my apps list. I decided to start fresh, and wipe my phone, and use a ROM that was closest to the Spring release. Once this was installed, all my Sprint apps were there(app sharing, sprint zone, etc.). However, when I then installed the newest version of Fresh Rom(FreshEvo 3.5.0.1), the apps are no longer there. Obviously, I need the Sprint Zone app if I need to call their Tech Support. Also, I never noticed them missing until the newest update.
Am I missing something? Is there a way to fix this? Please let me know. I love the Fresh Evo Roms, but I'm unable to use them until this is solved.
Thanks in advance.

Alot of custom roms dont include the sprint apps. If they arent on the rim list then they aren't in the rom

I know that, but it was never an issue with the older FreshEvo roms.....they just removed the bloatware. But getting rid of SprintZone? That just makes it so I can't call in to Sprint if I have any problems. It doesn't make any sense, and like I said, never happened until I did the newest update.

Just dial *2 for sprint customer service. No app needed.
Also, if you need the apps, they are all in a folder for me "fresh-removed-apks-3".
If they aren't on your SD card, look in the Fresh-evo-3.5.0.1.zip file and check the sdcard folder in that archive.

look in your SD card for a folder called "Fresh Removed Apps"....or something like that. All removed apps, including all Sprint apps, are in there.

OMG duh....they're in there. Ok, I'm an idiot lol. While we're on the topic, what's the best app to install those apps?

No app is needed to install those apps. Just tap the apk you want to install and you will be good to go. You will need to go to Settings > Applications and check the "Unknown Sources" box before you can install them though.

Ok. Thank you so much to all of you for the quick response. I really appreciate it.

Touchwiz forgetting app drawer layout?

Several times I have edited my app drawer order, grouping apps by type on each page (a page for games, a page for internet stuff, a page for utilities, etc.), creating folders, etc. Then I hit Menu > Save, and everything is fine, until I reboot my phone. Then it loses the app order, and a few apps get seemingly randomly moved to their own pages, so the total number of pages grows from about 5 to upwards of 8 or 9. It seems like the most recently added apps get moved, but not always. I move them all back how they should be, but they only stay until a reboot.
Anyone else have this happen? Or better, found out why? Or even better, how to make them stay?

Really? Does nobody sort their apps? Or nobody has had this problem?

I don't sort them in the App Drawer. I leave them arranged alphabetically grid or list. I do arrange the ones I most often use somewhere on the 7 Home Screens though.

They will not stay. It is an annoying problem. I use folders now to group my apps. And I have my apps sorted to stop the spacing issue.

Still happening on Starburst ROM 1.5, so the problem it's with TouchWiz and is not ROM-specific.
I made a backup of TWLauncher with Titanium, so when my drawer gets really messed up I restore data from the backup (killing the running process) and it does restore my app layout as it was when I made the backup. Not a solution, but a lot quicker than re-sorting 50 apps. If only I could figure out how to trigger a save of the layout...it seems to just do it occasionally and I can't figure out what triggers it (certainly not when the Save button gets pressed...as if that makes sense).
Had anyone replicated this issue on TouchWiz 3.5? (or is it 4.0... whatever the flashable one is that's newer than what ships with the device).

I know what u mean but for me its all good after i fix it a second time untill i change then itll revert to just before i changed
It only happened to me on 4.5 thiugh
Good thing actual tw4 launcher doesnt have that problem

Bummer. Guess we have to wait for an official update to get an updated launcher.

are you saving the changes ?
You have to make your changes then hit menu again and save changes.
otherwise they don't stick.
after clicking save don't press anything for 30 secs or so
that seems to do it for me
if i save and immediatly go back it doesn't save

hi all,
after updating my galaxy s2 from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 with kies, i had the same problem about sorting applications page.
i didnt reset my phone before or after updating with kies. first i tought that i might be about this. i was looking for a solution and i read these posts. without resetting my phone i just tried to delete files of TW Launcher.
Settings>Applications>Manage applications>All(tab)
find and tap "TW Launcer"
tap "Clear data" button.
after that my home screen and applications screen look default.
applications screen sorted alphabetical.
i customized my home and app screen again and till now didnt change anyting, i mean didnt forget the layout of apps.
i wanted to share this little unprofessional solution with you =)
if there is a better way i want to learn.
finally i have a question, after updating to 2.3.5, when i tap contacts, it opens slowly, after 1 or 1.5 seconds lag(black screen) it opens. but not always. it happens just sometimes.
do you have the same behaviour?
sory for my english. looking forward to see your answers or comments.

i tried and there is no problem anymore

14th post,
see my firs post

I'm really surprised I haven't seen more people complaining about it but I guess most are not running TouchWiz.
To re-explain the problem I'm having..
You arrange all the applications in different panels the way you want (after you hit "applications" not the home screen panels)
After turning the phone off and on again Or plugging it in to the computer via USB and removing it, all the applications are a mess again. Not the way you arranged them and there doesn't seem to be any logic behind it.
It's not just the way they were the last time you turned the phone off or the last time you plugged in the USB cable.
I also thought having folders in an earlier panel may be causing later panels apps to get bumped around but I've tried it with the folders in the last panel and I get the same randomness.

Basic noob rooting questions

The question: Can I root a phone to try apps without affecting my updated ICS fix from sprint and without changing how my phone looks and feels?
My assumption: When I root it uses a ROM that someone "hacked" and it overwrites my updated ICS update.
The facts: I got the original ICS roll-out from sprint and very recently also the "fix" update to ICS from OTA. I have never rooted a phone and I'm thinking about it because my battery life has gone to hell, and my signal strength is a mess.
I'd also like to get mass storage options back to get compatibility with a usb head unit.

I was waiting to see of anyone else was going to respond but since I'm going to call it a night, I'll throw my 2 cents in, then I'll wait for my change..
I had to ask about the "second" update since the only thing i know is this- The original roll out was paused, then when it started up again, small fixes were noticed. One being the Swype issue. Not big changes according to some.
So to answer your question about rooting to try apps, just use sfhubs one click for ff18. Clear the cache on Swype after that. Then try your apps..
I'd suggest reading up on backing up your data, etc, so when you notice that stock battery life, look and feel and all of that isn't different, and you want to go back, you can.
Or just save all of that trouble and root and flash the stock tweaked ics rom, with a custom kernal, and enjoy a stock, rooted, long lasting daily experience..

Ok. So when you say stock tweaked ics rom you are saying that it's going to overwrite the updated ics i got through ota? I also don't want to lose my contacts and apps that are installed and also all the"theme" work I've done to this. I just want less Los.. More battery life and usb mass storage feature back.

The stock tweaked rom is located on the Dev section. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29788992
For your concerns, you can attempt to address issue by issue.
Sync contacts w google.
Change modems to address the los issues you have.
Use titanium backup for your apps.
Use a custom kernel for your battery life.
And use sfhubs storage mode fix.
Or, sync contacts w google, use tb for your apps and find a great rom that addresses the rest of the issues.
You keep saying something about an update to ics, but the latest ff18 rom builds have all ics and more..
(and of course you can always go back stock of you choose..)
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

Ok so bear with me here.
If I do the latter as you suggest (and I greatly appreciate your time and answers) would I have to personalize my phone all over again like it was new out of the box or does TB restore my apps like nothing ever happened?
I'm getting really close to pulling the trigger here but it makes me nervous because I do so very much business with my outlook account, GPS, messaging and WIFI.
If I screw it up I'll be dead in the water with no love from our IT department haha.
I come as a PC power user. overclocking, hacking etc. Is TB like when I make a exact image of my operating system and all it's contents and then if something goes wrong I can just blast it to a HDD and it's like nothing ever happened?
I have trouble leaving things be when they "work".

First off, you're welcome. And if I say something off kilter about what you are wanting to do, believe me there will be people that say so. (Surprisingly, It's a quiet thread)
What you would refer to as an img in PC, Nandroid is what you would call it here. You can find out all about that with a very helpful guide [TUT] What Is Nandroid And How To Use It [Complete Guide] [VeNuM]
Be sure to use it if you're that dependent on your phone for work.
Speaking of which, if you don't have a backup plan for your phone, I'd hold off on puling that trigger until you have read all that you can.
Using Titanium Backup, as with any software, can fail. Be sure to know how to backup and restore and when and what you can restore. Don't go from ICS to GB and try without expecting issues. There are other apps as well, MybackupPro, astro file manager.. Just do your homework.
Having a nandroid is essential for me. If you rename the backup, do NOT put any spaces in the name. It's also a strong suggestion to verify md5 if you plan on moving and storing - Don't delete the original without verifying the copy with md5. Just search for a md5 checker.
If you do decide to flash, good luck. Ton's of smarter people than me here tat can help, just make a backup..

I've been reading my butt off here but I still don't have a grasp of the rooting.
When I root a phone doesn't it overwrite all my stuff? Then how would I be able to use Titanium Back up to back up all my previous stuff?
I bet I'll understand much better once I actually root it but like you said I'm trying to get a grasp of it all before I commit.

Rooting alone, no.
If you use sfhubs ff18, rooted, no data, you will not lose your current setup and data. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27635571
You'll just be rooted.
For TB I'll refer you to this - http://www.titaniumtrack.com/kb/titanium-backup-kb

This seems plausible to me...
4. If you running an N7100/7105 rom and have already flashed the nfc fix file or used the nfc files from it, then it is too late. If you recall using those files causes android to upgrade some 270+ files on first reboot. Once that occurs I believe that 4.1.1 apks and lib files makes fundamental changes to a bunch of other apps (like camera, gallery, and etc) which is causing the nfc force closes. You must start fresh again.

I just realized that when we edit the build. prop to get the wallet to work, we lose s-note functionality. Wouldn't it be easier to edit the file to mimic that of the galaxy s3? The GS3 wallet does work on the Sprint network. I haven't been able to try it because I don't know what to replace the lines with to make it identical to the s3
