[DISCUSSION] Quick Keys: Anybody using these and why?

I just don't get it lol..
I keep going to program them and find NO real use for them.

I just use them for my gf, brother, and well nothing for the 3rd one
edit:
3rd one is now the browser

I have one set for music two for composing text screen and three for xda. Mainly use the compose text screen because I don't have to open messaging and then click compose, just click button then enter name and type text

Same with me - I use them for launching programs that I use heavily use the keyboard for.
first goes to compose sms
second goes to compose email
and the third goes to connectbot

I used mine with launcher pro to go to home screen. There is a menu on the keyboard, so I wanted the full set.
I add the "home button" quick launch with launcher pro, just go to "activities" and scroll down to launcher pro. It should be the first activity under the application.
The only one I want now is the "back" button.

I use it to directly text my gf with 1 click then type message

I only have one configured so far, it launches Voice Actions.

[Q] emoji directly in keyboard?

hey does anyone know how to and be willing to take the mms.apk with emoji from the theme and apps and make emoji able to be selected from the keyboard instead of the smileys? the reason is so that i can use the emojis on apps like instagram if someone at least can show me how ill do the work....also how does one get it to see emoji in color on instagram and other apps?

If you download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jlsoft.inputmethod.latin.jelly.free and https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.handcent.plugin.emoji then go into the keyboard plugin settings there will be an option to enable iOS 6 emoji. When it is enabled just hold down the enter key and slide to the emoji. You then have emojis directly in the keyboard!

I use Kii Keyboard. It has the built in emojis including the new emoji from iOS 6 

Change from android smileys to emoji in handcent sms

I have updated my handcent sms to version 4.7 and now in sms i have android smileys which i hate. (however, at the sime time, when I open sms list where all my conversation are, I see emoji smileys)
Tried to change settings to get my emoji smileys in sms back, but didn't manage to. Only figured out how to switch them off. I want emoji smileys back in sms. Any suggestions?

I believe there's an emoji package for Handcent in the play store.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
On older versions it was alright. The problem is that in one place (inside the sms) android smileys are displayed, but i want there to be handcent default smileys, not the android ones. But i can't change that, only switch them off. Is it the new version bug?

Why don't you use gosms the emojis package on that work.

I love the emojis soo much. I prefer to use chomp because they automatically switch smileys to emojis

Go to the list view, settings, then application settings, and towards the bottom is the emoji settings. Just changed mine with no problem. Hope that helps

FAQ from the website
I installed the app but the icon doesn't show up in my app tray. What can I do?
If this happens on your phone, the only solution we found was to use Nova Launcher because it has a feature that allows you to run a specific activity within an app. To set this up:
Within Nova Launcher, long-press on the home screen.Choose "Shortcuts"Select "Activities"Find "Google Dialer" in the list, then tap to open it up, and select "Phone" (use the first one in the list)
This will put a shortcut to the dialer on your home screen. At this stage, you can use this to access Google Dialer. It's not the cleanest solution, but it does work.
Can I disable my default dialer?
The short answer is no. As a general rule, you will need to keep your present dialer enabled in order to receive calls. The long answer is that on some phones you might be able to disable your stock dialer, but on others you definitely cannot. Feel free to try it on your own device and let us know what your results are.
(I disabled the first phone apk of the 2 that show up (flashing adds another one and I had it A-Z order))
EDIT: After disabling the APK, when I select "Call" the phone doesn't show any call screen whatsoever, and still has a call going, (mic works, and you can call, but the only way you can hang up is to leave the app and click the extended notification)
Again, this is all them!
