Hey guys, my galaxy nexus has a weird problem. Randomly the talk back feature found in the accessibility settings starts.
I am currently running, he AOKP Maguro milestone 2 ROM. Anyone know how to fix this?
Or if someone could tell me how to remove the feature permanently I wouldn't mind either. I never use it lol. I know there are some tools around and I'll search, bit if anyone can recommend a tool it would be really appreciated.
Thanks guys

are you using a custom rom? will try to test it with mine if the Talk Back feature still turns on by itself. btw i am running ARHD rom.
update: it seems i can't find the google book app on my marketplace.

I like the new feature of ICS that allows you to disable apps. I used it immediately to remove the VZW bloatware that was pre installed (back up assistant).
But I may of taken it a step too far. I disabled the default calculator app ( just happen to like realcalc better). When I did that it screwed up my calendar. All of my events were MIA. Luckily I caught it before I did anything else and couldn't pinpoint the problem. - undisabled the calculator and every thing went back to normal.
So, like it says in the warning use caution when disabling system apps. And hopefully my little boo boo helps some one else out.
Anyone else disable a app and notice any strange or unexpected results???

I disabled Books, Vz backup, and phone (I'm using another dialer). So far no issues.
I also used autostarts to keep a few other apps from starting automatically all the time.

Thanks a lot! I had a dark Gmail app in GB for a while, but it stopped working.
I don't know why Google doesn't make a dark Gmail - it looks better, and is easier on the eyes

And it saves some battery too. Always a plus.
thanks a lot guys! Do I need to root in order to install this?

Google should do this officially. It would be akin to adding the day/night mode from Google books.

As I understand it you'll need root access to delete the old gmail apk and move the new one to system, so yes.
You don't need CWM or a rom though, just root access on a stock rom and recovey will be fine.
Well I had to take it off, somehow it seems my google music stopped working after installing this. I made a nandroid backup beforehand and as soon as I rolled back my music worked again. Strange. Really seems weird that would cause any issue at all... Maybe it somehow messed up the account syncing since it would only crash the music when I tried to stream music, local content was fine.

Awesome, trying this now. Been hoping for this. The all white makes my eyes water in the morning because it is so bright...
The date on each email looks a little funny because its color is off, and at times goes outside the border. Also the read vs unread black/grey are very similar. It works though. I'll probably live with it.
I've been using this dark gmail app for days and like it. But just today i realized i went to compose a message and there is no way to send the final email. Am i missing something? Doesnt matter whether its a new email, or a reply to an existing email message, i cant send anything!
Am i being stupid or can someone test or confirm this? Thanks.

Been using these for a few weeks on gummy and CNA. Working great and they look good too.
Ok after more digging, this dark gmail is acting weird for me. It is the new ice cream version for everything including inbox etx. But when i compose a new email or reply to existing one, the compose window goes back to the gingerbread one, AND it has no send button. And no action bar etc. But if i go back to the inbox its fine there. I just cant compose.
Only change ive done is 2 days ago flashed the transparent status bar system ui apk. Im on stock 4.0.1. Anyone know what the heck could be going on here?

i just installed the gmail app from that link, and it is the old version just like it said. not the new ICS version. dammit i just want black gmail!
this might help other people. the link in the beginning of the thread had a broken gmail apk, the send button was missing with other stuff. it was all fixed and can be had over at this thread from the nexus s forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412997
that thread actually links back to the one at beginning of this thread, but dont know yet if they updated to the fixed send button version. anyway this has been driving me nuts and glad i finally found the solution.
regarding the other link to the (http://www.rujelus22.com/evo/downloads.php) i tried the google + from that and it also did not work, and broke my system UI. so i dont know if it needs to be for 4.0.3 or what, but i'm on 4.0.1 and it doesnt mention any info about that. hope this saves others some time!
Anyone having any problems with some apps not staying disabled? I'm having trouble with Google movies and Google books. I disable them and eventually they come back and I see the update in the market for them. I go back in and disable.tjem. I know I could root and delete them but I'm waiting on my pc so I can't yet. Anyone have a solution? Thanks

At least I know I'm not crazy. I looked this issue up and didn't find a lot but I did find someone say to disable Google partner setup along with the apps. So far since I did that they haven't come back yet but I dont know what Google partner setup is.

Get rooted, you can either remove or freeze them.

Hi all,
Any Tasker users (with secure settings) can give me some advice?
I have been trying to figure a way to enable gps via an sms text (or even if it is possible) . :banghead:
I have a number of profiles set so when i use certain programs gps is enabled automatically (saves having to switch it on manually each time) and mobile data off, keygaurd off etc etc, got all that working, but I would like 1 that turns my gps on via sms (for a security app).
Any ideas?
Darren

Oh ok. I didn't try it either, so I can't 100% guarantee that it'll work either.
Go into your secure settings app and go to the helper tab and install the helper. Make sure it is enabled.
I had the same issue.

Got it working with a little help from the Dev
Create a profile with an event Received Text. In the Body parameter put the keyword text you are looking for, then use secure setting GPS Enabled as the event...Bingo!!
i have tried this application before, but i think it's too complex.

But NFC Task Launcher can link to tasker...thus bringing you said functionality.

Go to Google Settings app, then go to location then turn off access location. Make sure Location Services is OFF as well.
Do you happen to use Google Now? For some reason, its location implementation makes it use Google Maps although you the user have never opened the app itself. I've had this problem myself too and I ended up disabling Google Now

No I don't use google now but i dont have background data off so maybe everytime i turn back on my data it trys to connect to google now?
I was also wondering why Google Maps is always running. I just disabled/uninstall Google Maps altogether.
Same problem with my phone too.

what is that a app?
Go into Map settings>Location settings and turn off Resort grin this device and Enable Location History. This should solve your problem.
I had same problem I solved by searching on google. The trick is to disable and factory reinstall it.
When you go in app manager then map click Disable it will the propose you to install factory version say yes and renable it then boot just in case and Map won't consume the battery.
It worked for me and alot of other people
I don't why it do this some kind of bug in map that is delivered with phone but resting solve it.

I just did that, but do I need to update to the latest maps though? I'm guessing No, cuz the latest update has people complaining about the battery drain.
