"enter" key to post messages. - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i was using the virtuous Unity rom but ive now swapped to mimicry and ive lost a function that almost makes me cry.
i use whatsapp quite regularly but with unity when i pressed my enter key it used to send the messages but now with mimicry for whatever reason it just puts the cursor onto the new line.
is there a way i can change this, not just in whatsapp but SMS or even email apps?

has anyone got any insight on how i may be able to fix this?

You're still using whatsapp? That should be an app specific function, not a rom function. Check the whatsapp settings for a send on enter function.
I have send on enter enabled for the stock mms app in Mimicry.

yeah i still use it... why is it a bad app?
but i ment in general... i did find the app specific function but it also did it with messages and my emails too.

Umm when you installed mimicry did you install the special key maps in aroma. Also what is your software keyboard. If it swift key it sometimes changex the behavior of the hardware keyboard. Go into recovery and flash the from again over your current installation and Deselect special key map. But first try to switch the software keyboard to android stock if using swift key to see if that is the issue

the software keyboard is default...
i know i found out where i could view what things i installed with mimicry but i cant seem to find it now. i dont know if i installed the special key maps im afraid but if i find it then ill repost unless you know where i can find it. is it better to have or not as i wasnt really sure what it was anyway

You have to run the installer in recovery over your current installation. It will ask you which add ons you want to remove

Well we're just doing this to verify if that is the issue. You can install it back if its not.

Guys,In all the chat based apps I have seen there is an option under Chat settings called Enter to Send
In WhatsApp go to your contact list push Menu>Settings>Chat Preferences and the option is there,same as most third party app's that use chat
SMS'es use money for every message and Emails I believe require more care to create so not having this option on those apps does have a benefit

Pretty much any app that isn't the phone or contacts apk should be safe, too, I think.
(actual apps. Don't delete stuff like CertInstaller.apk or whatever. But if it shows up in your app drawer, it's generally okay to get rid of.)
The only thing I'm not sure about is the visual voicemail. It may act funny with the messages app, since there's a slider for it.
Cdrom.iso really shouldnt be removed. It can cause issues with adb and mounting usb storage. You can dissable the annoying vzw installer by dialing ##program# and hitting call. Enter six zeros for the password. Then go to feature settings and tap on cd rom and dissable it. Hit the menu button and select comit changes. Your phone will reboot and the vzw installer nag wont be there the next time you connect to your pc.

Weird. I removed the cdrom file and I can use adb with no problems. I guess it is one of those works for some and not for others issues.

Does it matter if I delete them vs. move the APKs to another location? Would I ever need them again for anything?
Well they'll still be taking up space if you move them to another location on the phone, but they wont run or be in your app drawer. If you want to have them just in case, you could always move them to the SD card, then your computer? I can't think of any reason that you'd need them though, even if you wanted them at a later time, you could find them on the market or with a quick googling.
I just back them up and then uninstall them.
I've added Apps (VCast.apk) to the list.

[Q] about MIUI WIP ROM: version 2.0??

question: version 2.0 of what??
The ROM.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
Is there a download link? the one on the actual post says it isn't working. Also, am I suppose to install 2.0 then install the latest version right?
Not to jump in on the MIUI questions, but I have one as well...
I rely a lot on Go SMS because of its individual notification settings for different contacts. In the previous version of this rom, though, the stock messaging app was overriding Go SMS's settings no matter if it was selected as the default messaging app. Anybody else have this problem and can offer a solution?

I haven't tried it with GO SMS, but to get TabletTalk to work I had to disable MMS Priority in the MIUI messaging settings. If you haven't tried that already, I suggest trying that.
I know it's not a definite fix, but I figured an idea is better than nothing

I tried this ROM out today as well and did not flash to 2.0 first.
I only made sure to factory rest/wipe cache/dalvik and then format system, data, cache and sdcard.
After that, I flashed from external sdcard the latest version of the ROM and had no issues (aside from the usual needing to reboot the phone once to restore data connectivity).
I hope this helps :fingers-crossed:
Might as well ask another general MIUI question....lol.
Most other ROM's handle Google Voice integration pretty well. For example, when I place a phone call, my call log shows the person's actual number, not the random number Google used to make the integration work.
With MIUI, though, my call log shows that random number instead. Anybody happen to know why that's to case, and if there's a way around it?
Thanks!

security hole affecting galaxy phones

I just read this on appy geek. I thought everyone should know about this.
The link that will reset some Samsung Galaxy phones without warning originally appeared on http://www.pocket-lint.com on Tue, 25 Sep
Frightening
A security hole has been discovered that allows some Samsung Galaxy phones running TouchWiz to be automatically factory reset without warning. This includes the Samsung Galaxy S2.
Found by ex-Gadget Geeks presenter Tom Scott, among others, all unsuspecting users have to do is go to a webpage via a specific link and their phone will be wiped back to how it came in the box.
"The USSD code to factory data reset a Galaxy S3 is *2767*3855# can be triggered from browser like this: " wrote Scott.
Developer Tom Hutchinson, who has helped Pocket-lint work out the incredibly damaging bug, says that the security blunder affects not just the SGS3 but the Ace, the GS2, and S Advance so far. "Most if not all Gingerbread phones or newer running TouchWiz will be vulnerable," claims the developer.?
The fear is that those looking to wipe out Samsung phones would be able to easily embed the code on a website without Galaxy owners even realising what is about to happen. The code could easily be used in a QR code too.?
I'm just glad these news sources are making sure everyone knows exactly how to accomplish it.
Installing titanium backup now. Didn't think I would ever need it. Guess I do just in case now.

If you read my thread on the secret Android Codes, you will understand what is happening:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1894102
The stock Samsung dialer will execute secret android codes when you enter them without hitting send.
Like *#350# will reboot the phone. (That would be a better exploit example than the factory reset one)
The problem is that NFC or the stock browser will load a tel: into the dialer for you.
Well using the stock dialer that will execute any of those secret android codes.
Most of those secret android codes will not work on CM10/AOSP dialers obviously.
So the fix is to install any other dialer app like exDialer and use it as default app for dialing.

I'm probably missing something easy, but how do I get exDialer to be the default? I installed it, went to Application manager and to the default Phone app, but the "Clear Defaults" button was greyed out.
When I dial from either app, it just dials, doesn't ask me which app to use. I tried doing a voice action "Dial xxx xxx xxxx" from Google Now and it automatically went through the stock dialer without prompting.
Engadget says it only affects the stock browser but not chrome. Who is using the stock browser anyways, it's garbage.

I thought it stays. If you type a message in Handcent or messaging like (800)555-1212 then you can click on it and it will prompt which dialer to open as default. exDialer has option for auto run USSD code.. Wonder if samsung will add that to dialer (even though these are not USSD codes)

Who cares what engadget says, you can try it yourself, it will happen ANY time a number link is loaded into the stock dialer. That can be from SMS, maybe even fake caller ID spoofing. Maybe other apps can launch a number for you.
Has anyone tried the dialer code to factory reset?
Chances are Samsung already disabled it, probably for this reason. They've disabled quite a few of them actually so we probably dont have to worry about it. (I haven't tested it to be sure but it would surprise me if they left that one enabled)
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I've been testing this and you can follow my results over here at Rootz.
Preview: I've yet to actually get it to auto-execute (i.e. click send) the code and have tried modern CM10/AOKP, the JB TW leaks, and have gone back to T999UVALG1. Still going to be doing more testing but may not be for a while - maybe somebody can pick up from here.

Did you read any of my post or thread. The Samsung dialer instantly executes the code when you type last #. This isn't a USSD. They are android secret codes.
If you have stock dialer and it loads in the code it will execute it. tel:*#06# clicking that will bring up IMEI
(That should also work in aosp or cm10, but that is the only code they have in dialer)
You don't need to test, it is any app that launches dialer and adds digits

Clicking on that just opens dialer with *. Just fyi, but it is pretty simple. Later tonight I'll test the factory reset code to see if sammy disabled it like most of the others. If it is as I suspect they will have done so, probably meaning they already knew about the problem.
Most security vulnerabilities are not released publicly until a fix has been implemented. (The NFC hack is a perfect example). For us that fix was most likely the update to UVALH2...assuming my assumptions are correct of course!

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know Samsung did patch this in UVALH2 like I thought.
In case you didnt see the other thread, someone posted it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906473
I did test it and I might be mistaken about the dialer code being disabled. It did initiate the reset when I manually entered the code. But it may be due to me running a combo/hybrid version of ics. Ill be flashing back later today and will retest to let you know for sure.
I just wanted to throw this out in case anyone was thinking of testing it thinking it wont work...

Search Press and Hold Menu

Hey everyone I tried doing some searching but these words are pretty common so I couldn't find much.
The problem is that I know that by pressing and holding the menu button I get to the search function but the problem is that it doesn't give me the launch menu like it did on my S2 t989 for example when I held the search key on my S2 t989 a "which app would you like to do this in" menu would come up that would give me direct access to apps like shazam, soundhound, and screencast. Is that feature completely gone or do I have to enable a setting or something for this? I really loved having that menu there.
Also another question about the search function that does come up. It does not seem to be the same full search function from before but only for the web. I used to be able to search the apps that are actually on my phone and launch them through that menu as well. Is that possible anymore or has that been disabled too?
Don't get me wrong I LOVE this phone so much I just miss those couple little things. Thanks!
Thank crapple for the change in search function. If you are rooted go to /system/app and find GoogleQuickSearchBox_USA.apk. renameto remove the __USA part.

At some point whatever action you're trying to do you probably checked the "use as default" box and now you don't get the choice. I still get to choose which app I use for most things, not sure how to go back and remove the default though.

Disable Automatic Emoji in Stock MMS?

Ok, so rather than flash again to CM10.1 or whatever, I've decided I would like to disable the conversion of <3 into that one with the Android with hearts for Eyes, and likewise for all other Emoji.
Is this possible without massive effort, or should I switch to another MMS application. I'm not opposed to plan B. Handcent and Chomp are my two candidates.
However I wanna know if this is something that is built into the keyboard first, since if thats the case almost all my apps will display them in place of plaintext ones.
I am also open to modifying font packages if I need to.

Yeah, I just tried to fiddle and replace the emojis in the fonts and ****, with a backup beforehand of course. They showed up as squares, so I said screw it and installed GO SMS Pro. Oddly all of the issues I was having before such as Contact Pictures and whatnot, arent occuring, and on deodexed its oddly pretty fast.
I am still having the issue with GO Contacts EX Not grouping contacts by contacts (Like I have configured in google), but at least GO SMS Pro works now!
Heck I can even only have it display mobile contacts.
Oh hey look I accidentally....a bad word XP.
