[Q] Question regarding Beautiful Widgets

So I downloaded this and I've never used Beautiful Widgets before, so this was my first. I found a very nice skin "Ice Cream Sandwich" by Tama-Chan.
I go to Settings as I'm not sure if you can change something, and when I go into General, it just Force Closes everytime. I un-installed and installed again and it's still FC'ing.
Also, is it possible to edit an existing skin? I just want to get rid of two black boxes surrounding the clock and the blue border, but I'm not sure you can. I have googled as much as I can and I can't find anything.
Any guidance would be very helpful, thanks in advance

What version you on for ICS and BW? BW had a update just a little bit ago and not sure if that fixed what you are having issues with or not as I already updated. I did install the skin you have and I was able to get to the settings no problem and no FC at all. I am running 41D for ICS.

Well it was pretty recent as I snapped it up during the 10p sale. I'm using the standard ICS no custom ROMS flashed or anything. Do you think I should uninstall and install again? Or does that mean I have to pay again? I'm such an Android noob lol...this is my first true Android phone

You don't have to pay again once you've purchased it!
The app however was updated either today or last night, so go to the market and update it! It fixed all of the crashing problems for me

Thanks a lot! The update fixed my problems

It is possible to modify the skins. Go to /sdcard/data/beautifulwidgets. The sub folders will be like: tskins (toggle skins), wskins (weather skins) etc. Those folders contain the image(s) for the skins

If I can reuse this thread. Does anyone know how to stop the temperature displaying in the notification area?
I already have the Accuweather app doing this (with a bigger better version)
I've turned off notifications in the widget but its still there?

[Q] [Jelly Bean] Hacks/Mods for Voice Search?

I've got a few questions, but my primary question is this...
Now that Android has a killer "virtual assistant" application, will we be able to expect modified versions of it? I'm not sure if it runs client side or server side (and I'd assume this would be a major determining factor), but is it possible/practical to believe that it might be capable of doing real assistant things? I'm imagining things like having it open new tabs (and executing a search or going to webpage) on my desktop, or having it make notes/put things in my calendar, really being able to interface with my desktop in any way would be awesome. Is this kind of thing possible?
Next question is, for some reason my Voice search isn't talking back to me. It's fully functional, but having it talk back is nice. I've got a VZW gnex running Jelly Belly v2.2. A few days ago I flashed Vicious V3. When I was on vicious it talked back to me a few times, then at some point, it stopped. I checked all the settings but I couldn't make it work again. I decided to flash a new ROM, can't get it to talk on this one either. Anybody know what might be causing this?
Lastly, does anybody know of a way to get CM9 style drop down toggles (in the status bar)? Or a JB rom with it baked it? I tried the Notification Toggle app by one of the XDA members here, some of the buttons worked, some didn't, and the NT Icon downloader wasn't working right either, so I couldn't get CM9 style toggles anyways.
TL;DR
Possible to have JB voice search modded in the future?
Any reason Voice Search not talking back to me any more?
JB CM9-style drop down toggles baked into any roms?

It is definitely possible for voice search to be modded. I'm currently trying to develop an app that allows you to add your own commands to search. Ex. Say 'launch pulse' would open the pulse app
As far as the other things I have no idea.

GB27 Accessibility bug fix?

On stock rooted GB27 and if I enable any accessibility service (Such as the one for Pebble for example, which lets it read notifications), the TTS voice starts announcing page numbers for the home screen and app drawer until I disable all services. Is this fixed on any ROMs or should I just go back to ignoring JB?

Not sure if that's a bug or just the functionality of the app. When enabled it describes all actions taken within settings and system ui.
I know an acquaintance with very limited sight with a GalS2 (att) with this feature and the phone is constantly making announcements while navigating screens or menus.
Pp.
Sent from a jelly bean shooting Epic. In your eye ....... phone.

All I can do is say i got the same problem. (Poncho has no idea)
To everyone still asking:
If you enable the Pebble accessibility service, it partially enables "Text to Speech" accessbility on the home screen (and elsewhere?). This is totally undesired.
FYI, Pebble is a wristwatch that can bluetooth pair with your phone.
NOW, Bump, for great justice and the same problem. What JB roms will spare my Epic 4G Touch?

Sadly. It seems there is yet no fix for any of the samsung devices. However samsung is aware of it. Question now is when and whether it will ever be implemented into a rom for rooted devices...

I want to try a custom launcher in hopes that it will fix this... perhaps it is only touchwiz? Does anyone have an alternative solution? (I am rooted)

Custom launcher is the best solution if you ever use TTS. I'm happy now.

[Q] Android 4.2.2 Keyboard AOSP

Hey All,
Jelly Beer's 4.2.2 update worked great on my Samsung S3. However, I went out and purchased a new Note 2 GT-N7100 T-Mobile T889. I love the phone. The only problem is that I got used to the keyboard that the guys included in with Jelly Beer 4.2.2 update. In the Input settings, the keyboard is listed as Android keyboard (AOSP). That's the keyboard that I want.
The one that came with the Note 2 is Samsung's own and it's awful. Yes, yes, yes, I've installed just about every other keyboard out there. I've purchased the paid versions and all. Still, nothing does the job as well as the keyboard AOSP. I was literally going to toss the phone because I can't type on it. Then I started to use the gesture part of it, and I'm getting used to that. However, I still want the AOSP one. I've looked all over in the Play store and nothing.
Does anyone have the direct link or the actual .apk that I can download?
Would really appreciate it.

I am wanting the same thing.
yes, there is a google keyboard in the app store. but its not the same as AOSP, AOSP has the symbols as long hold on the letter keys. and you can long press the "." and slide to choose ?! and others.
I tried pulling out the aosp keyboard from carbon rom, if I just install it, it works, but no sliding to type (like swype) and if I move it to system/app and set permissions, then reset, it just force closes... so... it kind of works... but I would really like to be able to slide type.

Google brings KitKat experience to all 4.1 and newer ROMS... thoughts?

ok so this is awkward.... seems google has released the new Google Search and Google Experience Launcher for all handsets running 4.1 and higher..... with Google ripping the forefront of KitKat out why move to it?
Lets get a list going as to what KitKat brings to the table behind the scenes....
1)better memory managment
2)Smoother UI experience(butter+)
3)built in printer support API!!! I love printing from my phone now!
For those that want to try the new Search and Google Experience Launcher here are the links.
Download Google Search 3.1.8 APK
Download Google Experience Launcher APK
yes this turns on "Ok Google" from the launcher and also allows Google Search to talk/ask questions back to you.
I still think we need KitKat as I have been running it and it is very smooth and seems to be snappier than the stock rom.
FYI the launcher will NOT work on our stock roms!!!
It is working on other phones with 4.1 but not our phone and stock rom(with stock kernel). You can use some modded 4.1 stock roms that replace the kernel. As I believe it is a kernel based issue there will likely never be a fix as no-one is going to put in the time or effort.

Well, the Launcher still needs to be side loaded even after the Search App updates, so it is a little different there. I like having hangouts handle sms. I also like the little things like the touch sounds and such. All of these things can be emulated, but it still takes work and a little knowledge to get a kit kat experience on a different stock rom.

This is true but the launcher will be on the play store and it has been reported that a card in now will popup asking if you want it.
For a stock rom you get the stability over most other roms but I must say KK on ours has been a really big surprise.
I sideloaded the new now on KK and the feedback is pretty sweet, no more hunting to find the right number to txt or call it will ask you and you simply talk back.

For me it's all about consistency in the experience. It drives me crazy to see a stock dialer or stock messaging app when I am trying to create an AOSP experience. That's why I generally go for AOSP based ROMS. It's just jarring to have the settings menu come up with a white background. OCD

Were you (or anybody) able to get this to work properly on ZVC? Tried the above, plus looking to get a potential lib, keep getting "Google Search" FC.

opppsss forgot to add that blurb. The launcher doesn't work on the LG OG stock roms. other 4.1 roms do work so it has something to do with the stock rom.
I'll add that in. The new Google search(Google Now) should be fine.
OP updated!!!!

Launcher didn't work for me on optimus 4.6 the OK Google feature worked but when I tried to add the search widget, OK Google went away. I don't know how to get it back yet either
Edit: turns out it went away cause I switched the language. OK Google command now works again

Just seen that there is an update for the english language pack that needs to be installed.
slid left to Google Now
scroll to the bottom
hit the three dots
select settings
select voice
select offline speech recognition
for those in the US ensure that English shows up and it is vers 28. For all others ensure you have downloaded your language.
BTW KitKat ROM users... this is NOT for you as it is all setup!
