ICS has a dropdown spellchecker that identifies misspelt words, works better then the predictive text options. I have used it with much joy on other ICS enabled devises, however it is missing from all Samsung ICS Galaxy devises.
Does anyone have a tested solution to enable the default ICS spellchecker (while I am interested in ideas all the obvious ones have been suggested on other forums with no apparent solutions.)
The most viable solution I have come across is listed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832126, has anyone tried this or found a solution?
Many Thanks in advance

I have also found this, not sure if it is applicable.

I don't understand how such a basic feature like spell check option could be disabled...
Anyone willing to help?

I could give this a look if you wanted I suppose... what are you running currently? Alternatively, shoot me a link to your SecSettings.apk and framework2.jar and I'll see if I can get it working for you (or at the very least replicate the mod that was linked).

Thanks for your response. I am new to Android but I am willing to contribute. I have an ATT Note 2 (i317) running a Tmobile rom, long story.
The lack of the most basic feature, a spell checker, a feature that was built into native Android but was disabled by Samsung, is a common complaint but most folks misunderstand this issue to be a keyboard issue. Based on my research, all Samsung Android devices (Touchwiz) have this identical problem, phones and tablets. So this problem is not unique to my handset. You would be a hero to a lot of us that lack the skills to restore the Android's spell checker. We currently have no alternative other than prediction keyboards but that is not a spell checker.

Hi
Just wondering if Desire will have same Nexus One (Speak-2-enter-text in text msgs & Google Maps etc) feature on it, plus all other cool features in N1 (as I don't own N1, nor I have used any Android phone yet so don't know if these features are in Android build or only for N1).
Can we also start a poll to take member's opinion which phone they think is better between HTC Desire & Nexus One...
Thanks

None of the features are N1 only they're just features of Android 2.1 which is what the Desire runs on
According to cnet, the voice to text function is not there (out of the box)
guess it wouldn't be long before someone makes it happen
is an internet connection required for the speech2text function?
You could just install the stock android keyboard to the device to use it.
Although HTC's is incredibly accurate and seems to be able to predict exactly what you want no matter how ****ed up you mish mash at the keys
So while HTC Desire's Sense Keyboard does not support Voice to Text, the user can (without modding) switch to Android Keyboard and enjoy speech to text? Please can you confirm that? I was about to un-desire Desire because I so much expect to use S2T for posting online.

Assuming you can install the android keyboard without root, yes. One can install other keyboards without root (swype for example) so i don't see why the stock android keyboard would be any different.
There is something else to keep in mind. Just because you might be able to install the keyboard, the actual underlying support may have been removed. I don't have the desire rom installed on my nexus anymore or I would check to see if speech to text abilities were even there.

Speech to text has been there since 1.6 though, for google search and translate.
There is absolutely no reason at all why HTC would remove this they just haven't included it in their keyboard.
This means that the ability to get Speech to Text is already there embeded in the phone, you just need a keyboard with the "Speech to Text" button to make use of it in messaging.
As I m spending well few hours everyday 2 decide about which one
I should get Desire r N1... It's so tough 2 decide 1 of these 2 devices
as I like few things in N1 & few in Desire........ Text 2 Speech is
some thing I don't wan2 compromise on (I've read some where
that T2S is not very accurate at the moment but I m still so
fascinated by it), so if there is no such function available in
Desire....then I will go 4 N1.

If this functionality isn't present in the Desire upon release am I correct in assuming that someone will release a ROM where this is possible?
and also if its true that its just the keyboard that needs replacing is that something you need root to do? or can you just install a new keyboard? (Bit of a noob here)

That is why XDA is the place for all your rooting/ROM flashing/making-my-phone-awesome needs
You don't need to be rooted to install a new keyboard.

If that was directed at me...I know you don't need to be rooted to install a new keyboard. I learned that when I had my MyTouch and installed the HTC_IME keyboard from Cyanogen.
If it wasn't...my bad

Could everyone please keep thread on topic and stop posting off topic pics.
I would assume you have the Speech-to-Text feature on the Desire, as it was previously mentioned, it's an Android 2.1 feature, not a Nexus One exclusive feature. You also don't need to install any other keyboards, as the Desire Sense keyboard has the key already, as seen at 3:12 in the following video:

I have no idea how one would edit the APK to work, but I'm wondering if someone could patch this to work on the Galaxy S2, I fell in love with it on my Note

I've tried decompiling the APK to see what I can gather from it. At least based on what I'm understanding, I don't think the "primary" software is the photowall.apk itself at all. It appears to just be the setting screen, and configuration related things.
Perhaps someone with more knowledge could help? It might be embedded within Touchwiz itself though, which would suck, but ah well.
Oddly enough, I was going to close the thread, it wouldn't load in Gingerbread, or LPQ, However, on the new build of LP2 ICS, it loads without a hitch, so I don't need anyone to fiddle with it Thanks for your effort!
Don't mind me, just informing you that Photo Wall.apk from the SGS3 works just fine by installing it.
I must say that it is quite laggy, but I'm pretty sure it's the phone itself not having enough memory.
EDIT: You can't choose your own gallery, just tried it. It switches back to the default screens you get with the app itself.
Galaxy S i9000 CM9
Hi, I'm trying to send message to thread about http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546915, but as I am a new member of the forum, I need to rack up 10 posts before making a post directly to correct thread.
So here I go with the questions here, with 10 posts or so if I get reply's here.
First post and first question 1:
Hi, thanks for good custom rom.
The question:
I did superwipe for my Desire Z and installed the latest beta 6 to my phone. Noticed that it is currently missing all international keyboard configurations for the physical keyboard that the CM9 and other ICS firmwares have. Otherwise than that it is working quite well.
So can you please add to Beta 7 or RC (when ever that is coming) the missing keyboard configurations? I also tested the bluetooth (which was not working with other ROMS that well) and it works quite well with my car audio and Nokia's BH-905i headset...
Please do notice that Sense ROMs do not have international settings for the hardware keyboard. Apart from the stock ROM, no other Sense 3/3.5/3.6 and even 4 have this setting.
Use the search tool in the right of the thread title. This has been discussed before in the Ice Cream Sensewich thread.
Ah my bad, just interested why it cannot be put in there when other roms have it?

Well, as opposed to AOSP (Cyanogen, ILWT, etc) where code is freely available to edit and change stuff, Sense is HTC's proprietary code. They are not required to show us the code, so inner workings of Sense are hidden to us.
Some of the stuff can be edited because it's available by changing some parameters, but for the most part, Sense is pretty much an inaccessible gate.

I am no developer, but if the part about the hardware keyboard is managed by the operating system, and not by Sense's framework, then yes, it should be just a manner of adding the correct keymaps. Probably no one has bothered to do that, yet ?
I guess you can copy any working keymaps and keylayouts to IceCreamSensewich. You can find the keymaps and keylayout in the /system/usr folder.
Does anyone know of a samsung keyboard with auto correct enabled and with a personalized word directory? The earlier versions had a list of words you could edit of what's been added and what not, but now they don't. The note 2 keyboard with auto correct does not. Currently running it
I am currently searching for the same thing. I love the note 2 keyboard but I cannot type with a keyboard without auto correction. I found one in the gs3 i9300 forum that that worked with a couple ROMs I tried it with but then didn't work with a couple. Here's a link so give it a shot. I don't know what ROM that you are running but may work until someone makes one for us.

Hi Guys,
Of course the system version is 4.3 and the device is the great note 10.1 2014
Where for good sake i can find the users option to create additional account for instance for child or guests
Thanks in advance for the help - i assume it will help other as well
samsung removes this feature for some reason.
So there is no workaround or other app?

civato reenabled it in his galaxy note 8 rom. i can't say for sure but if someone who understood that stuff better than me got a hold of his source they could figure out how to implement it once a custom recovery is made.
Application whihc replace this important feature
Is there an app that provides this functionality?
It is so importnat for sure for famility tablet use....
Anyone?
I would love an answer on this post as well reference an alternate app or any thoughts on if Samsung will alow this ever. If not I may have to return and go with the new Nexus 10 2
I don't think this can be implemented by a simple app, maybe a custom rom but i'd imagine that it'd be complicated. You could also install an AOSP ROM that would make it similar to the nexus 10 with that feature but you might lose all of the samsung add ins including the s pen. I don't know if Samsung will change its mind in the future but I wouldn't expect it.
This was a huge disappointment indeed. A key feature of new Android left out without a forewarning. Is there any good reason for this?
Probably eats up too much space.. this touchwiz experience is heavy on the device.

IMHO - missing this feature should be considered as any HW feature which this device come with or without....
I wonder if Samsung people are monitoriign the forum inputs?
You know.. i tried to get the formal support answer in regards and they jsut answered that the case opened... nothing for several days...
Its mine first Android and Samsung device - Disappointing... :crying:
