Hi,
I use SwiftKey ($) as my standard keyboard on the S3 since the built in keyboard mostly stinks. But the one problem is the input method reverts to the Samsung keyboard when the device reboots. I searched around & couldn't find exactly what I was after, so thought I'd post my solution here to pay it forward. :angel:
Requirements:
Rooted phone (using SuperSU free)
Tasker ($)
Secure Settings (free)
Busybox (free)
Process:
0. before starting, install Secure Settings, go to system+ tab, click to enable. It will help you get busybox if not installed. Once installed, again go to system+ tab and get it Enabled.
1. create a tasker "Event" profile
2. Event type is System>Device Boot. There are no options here, tap to go back
3. New task, give it a name ("Change Input Method" is good)
4. + to create an action, then Task>Wait. I put 40 seconds here. This is the delay after reboot before tasker goes & changes the method. It takes a while for my phone to be ready to roll after a reboot. YMMV. Tap top left to go back.
5. Now + to add another action and select plugin
6. Secure Settings, pencil to modify configuration
7. System+ Actions>Input Method, tap to select the input method (Swiftkey for me but this could be anything you want).
8. Click the save icon.
That's it. Try rebooting and see if the input method is changed to Swiftkey after the reboot. Works for me! Enjoy! :laugh:

Celetask is supercool task manager:
Include New Task, Close task, Switch Task and View Task Properties.
Start any application through command line.
CeleTask can also execute any menu command in command line.

All this with one press the Internet button
I use Internet button to start the Celetask and I set the hotkey of Celetask to shutdown all apps with another press of Internet button. I use "8 button" to clean the ram. And that how with 3 clicks I close all aps and clean the memory
The "1" button I use for soft restart.
To use this task manager with hotkey just download the attachment end copy two files in WINDOWS folder.
I see this in Kavana new 6.1 ROM, but you can use it in all other ROMS.

No problem, and you can try CeleCmd,it's also a good software,it help me do everything (install cab,create shortcut,input reg,and so on)after cold boot,my rom is also base on CeleCmd
I try it, but nowhere i can find documentation in English .
Can you attach the CeleTask last version in English now?
this is a great proggie. i've used it to create a shortcut to soft reset. the only problem is that it asks me to confirm i want to restart the phone. there's probably a way to bypass this, but i've not figured it out.
anyone know if there's a way to use celetask to restart the phone without a confirmation message?
Yes:
Menu-->Options-->Show Alert
Just remove the check and Celetask will make everything without questions.
Now I have a question:
how to make a hotkey with Celetask to start anoother program.
I see I can add programs to tools but can connect hotkey to them
i have the opposite question littleclown...
for some reason activesync is in my celetask and i don't want it there. there's no reason for it to start at startup. at least i don't think it's necessary anyway. it fires up just fine on it's own when i plug it into the computer.
i can't seem to get it removed from the program list in celetask.
can anyone fill me in on the trick?
Fake server for Activesync
The following info comes from Aximsite
1. open the Activesync program.
2. Select Menu at the bottom right hand corner of the screen. This will bring up the Options Menu. Notice the option Schedule... is greyed out? This is the all-critical option we need to get access to. But as it's disabled we can't change Activesync's default synchronisation schedule.
Ok, so how do we enable the Schedule option? Easy!!! Fool Activesync into thinking there is an Exchange Server to sync with:
1. From Activesync's Menu select Add Server Source.
2. In the following screens you can enter any old garbage. It does not matter, but just in case your unsure, just type the following in the indicated boxes:
Server Address: fake
Tap Next
User name: fake
Password: fake
Domain: fake
(Select save password or going into the Advanced menu makes no difference, so no need to bother).
Next
Untick all of the 'Data you want to synchronise' options
Tap Finish
3. Ok, we're done creating the server. You should now see in Activesync's main screen your normal Activesync connection(s), and a new connection called Exchange Server.
4. Go back into the Menu, and lo and behold the Schedule option is now enabled! Go ahead and tap it!
5. You will see that both options in the Schedule screen are set to Every X Minutes.
6. Using the drop downs, change both the Peak times and Off-peak times boxes to Manually.
7. Press the OK button.
Now
1. Go back into Activesync's Menu, then Tap Options.
2. Highlight Exchange Server, then tap Delete. A warning message will appear about removing files etc, but as you have no files associated with the fake Exchange Server, it's nothing to worry about - just tap Ok.
3. The list will now only show your remaining PC Sync connection(s).
I did and Activesync stop starting automatically, however after you connect with your PC you need to close Activesync with Celetask
thanks!
unfortunately it didn't work.
i'm trying something else. will report back.
Hello.
Having some questions:
1) Can't manage .lnk files in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs - Access denied. How to fix this?
2) Is there any option to make the middle column in start menu on the same horizontal line with the first and last?
3) Is there any option to rearrange the items in the start menu by the finger?
4) Is there any option to show transferring Internet traffic while gprs/edge connection is active?
5) Is there any option to select which connection to use while the phone needs access to the Internet?
6) Is there any option to make thumb items (after the clock (manila)) to show as a list?
7) Is there any option to make pushing the right soft key (with home icon) to minimize the running program, not to close it?
8) Referring to (7), any task bar to manage minimized programs with minimum clicks?
9) None of mobile registry editors can edit values - Access denied. What should I do?
Thanks in advance for answers.
1) Have you tried using ReStart?
2) I could only find this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502051
3) You can click and hold to move to the top/bottom. Once again, try ReStart.
4) Not sure
5) Start > Settings > Connections > Connections all settings located there.
6) I'm not sure what you are talking about, but Max Manila and Cookies Home Tab give you plenty of customization.
7) Start > Settings > System > Task Manager > "Buttons" tab.
8) You can link the long hold of the endkey, send key, etc to open up task manager. Start > settings > personal > buttons.
9) What software have you tried? PHM reg edit is a popular one.
1) This one showthread.php?t=481379 ?
2) Yes, thanks!
3) ReStart haven't tried yet
4) -
5) Yes, I know about this menu, but I need something like in symbian phones - each time any app wants connect to the Internet, pops up new window with available connections - wi-fi spots, dial up profiles, etc...
6)
7) No "Task Manager" in System (P.S. Still don't know why two different links to settings have the same name.).
8) Start > settings > personal > buttons - no such option in personal present...
9) This program runs directly on PPC, any programs which works via activesync reports Access Denied..
Max Manila 2.5 - v3.0 (beta).cab - installed on phone. May be I've missed something?
1 & 3) Yes that one
4) http://spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/wirelessmonitor/
5) I haven't seen anything like this.
7) Start > System is not the same as Start > settings > System. Either way, you can get to your task manager by clicking the wrench button on the drop down task manager. then click the buttons tab on the bottom and define your settings.
8) I think advanced config 3.3 can do this as well (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418151). HERE is different style keyboard remapper to remap all keys (including home and back).
9) Never tried to run a Reg Edit through active sync connection. I just use PHM RegEdit or SKTools Registry Editor (SK Tools only shows 6 options unless you pay though). Both can edit and add values,keys, dwords, etc.
Still can't find any wrench button in taskmanager. Are you talking about original taskman, which ships with the WM 6.5?
---------------------------
Installed Touch X Taskmanager.cab -adds the missing taskmanager(top right corner) - now it is showing.
Back to connection monitoring...
I can't believe, that there is no such tool:
For example, I use Opera.
There are two Internet gates available for use - 3G and Wi-fi.
Opera starts....and I don't know which gate is being used...
How is on standard cell phones or symbian based smart phones:
when an application wants access Internet, a small window with available gates appears.. and you choose which one to use.
I've checked spb's tool, but it doesn't provide the feature described above...
P.S. Is there any program to prevent unlocking the phone if qwerty keyboard slides?

<h1>Make your Spreadtrum phone faster, less buggy, and more usable!</h1>
This guide is supposed to tell you how to make your Spreadtrum phone better to use. I'm not good at introductions, so let's start.
1. Root your phone, and install ClockWorkMod. Make a full backup. If something goes wrong during the guide, you'll need to restore from this. An excellent guide for this is given here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2165554
2. Install Chainfire3D from the Play Store. Install the CF3D driver by opening the app and going to CF3D Driver --> Install. Get the NVIDIA plugin from here: http://nsood.in/nvidia.zip Put the plugin in sdcard/plugins/ Open CF3D on your phone, and scroll down. Select Install Plugins/Shaders and select the NVIDIA plugin (nvidia.zip). Then open "Default OpenGL settings" and scroll down. Select "Use plugin" and choose the NVIDIA plugin. This will speed up not only your games, but also the UI in general.If any error occurs, go to ERROR: How to Revert Back To Stock.
3. Get a root browser/explorer. I recommend the one by "JRummy". Also, get the following apps from Google Play, and make sure they are NOT installed to an SD card:
- A messaging app (for SMSs) (I'm using Messages+)
- A dialer app (I use Dialer+)
- A contacts app (I use Contacts+)
- A launcher (I use LauncherPro)
- A browser (I use Lightning)
Note that you can get any app, but these seem to work pretty nicely with my Micromax A27 with a Spreadtrum SC6820 chipset.
4. Set your downloaded apps as defaults. Open your root explorer, and navigate to /data/app. Long press your messaging (or any other of the above) app, and move it to /system/app. Repeat for all apps above. Now navigate to /system/app and delete all default apps, launcher first. Note that your phone may reboot after the deletion of an APK. Just open your root explorer and continue.
WARNING: Do NOT delete any other APK. Just the default SMS app, dialer, contacts, launcher, and browser. If any error occurs, go to ERROR: How to Revert Back To Stock.
5. Disable all special effects in all apps. This is a simple step, so I expect you to do this on your own, or Google it.
6. Use low-memory apps and games, for example, instead of Subway Surfers or Temple Run, play something like Line Runner or Hill Climb Racing. This helps reducing overall memory usage, allowing your system to have more breathing room.
That's it. Feels strange, being a noob somewhere and not being noob-friendly... Oh, and:
ERROR: How to revert back to stock
This guide has many steps going near the guts of Android. If, during any of these steps, your phone's gut goes off, and you're stuck in a bootloop, or can't get past the lock screen, do this:
Power off your phone and disconnect it from your PC. Open a Terminal/Command Prompt window in your ADB folder. Put this command in:
Code:
adb shell reboot recovery
Do NOT press Enter! Not yet! Connect your phone to the PC and power it on. As soon as you get the device logo, press Enter. You should go to ClockWorkMod. Go to Backup and Restore --> Restore --> DD/MM/YYYY --> Yes. Your phone will reboot automatically, back to a stock+root mode. Well, at least your phone works now!
If I helped you, press Thanks. Else, hate me silently for the rest of your natural life.
I just got one of these from a friend of mine who did a factory reset on it before he gave it to me, and now it asks me to login to a previously used account. Unfortunately, he's terrible at remembering his login information, and he doesn't remember his password for the account he had on this anymore. He doesn't need it because he bought an IPad and doesn't use his google account anymore. So now it's stuck on the login screen. I've looked around and I couldn't find a way to bypass the FRP that I felt I could trust, or that seemed to apply to my device. I was wondering if anyone knew how I could do this?
Well, I didn't figure out how to get rid of the reset protection. But, I did get into the settings and was able to set up and use a guest account.
First get a SD card with an apk on it. I downloaded one from apkpure. Then when the device asks you to connect to a wireless network, check the Show advanced options box. Then in the Proxy settings drop down box, select Manual. And click on the Proxy hostname box to bring up the keyboard, and press the settings button on the keyboard that looks like a gear. From the keyboard settings menu you can click the mulit-window button on the bottom taskbar and can open two windows. Open the file manager in one of the windows. In the file manager click on your SD card and try to install the apk you put on it. When it prompts you that you need to allow Unknown sources in the settings, click on the settings button to open the settings window. (Do not check the allow Unknown sources box, if you check it, and the device resets or runs out of battery you'll have to go through this again, but when you click on the apk it won't prompt you to go to settings to allow unknown sources because they're already allowed.) Now just click on Users and switch to guest. There are some limitations to this mode, like not being able modify the wifi network (you'll have to switch back to the Owner account to change this).
I don't know if there's any way from the guest account to reset the account lock, but at least it's something.
I tried this and got as far as to the part where you said to "click the mulit-window button on the bottom taskbar."
That multi-window button is greyed out for me so I cannot click on it. LG must of patched it up or I am doing something incorrect.
Any other advise will be greatly appreciated!
It's possible it was patched out. They've been fixing little exploits with patches. This is the only way I was able to get any access to the device. All I can really recommend is to try everything. Check every menu, every option, and see if there is opening you can find to get access to the device.

I found a FRP bypass workaround if you are running 5.1.1 on a LG G Pad X 10.1 V930 AT&T model, not sure if all models are the same. It was FRP locked and all of the other bypass methods must have been patched. I was at the setup screen after a factory reset. I hope this helps.
1. Connect to wifi, then go back to start screen
2. Go to Accessibility > Vision > Enable Talkback
3. Go through the talkback training then draw an L to bring up the quick settings select Text to speech Settings (bottom right corner), afterwards you can disable Talkback by holding the power button and holding 2 fingers on the screen until it disables.
4. You will be in the settings app. Go to Users > Add user > User > Add user > Set up
5. You will be brought to a User setup screen select Next > It will pop up the wifi connection screen select next > You will be asked to sign into a Google account, sign into your Google account and proceed with the Google setup.
6. You will be brought to the homescreen. Go to settings > Users > And sign in as Owner.
7. Go to Settings > Factory data reset > Reset tablet. You can now factory reset and you will not be prompted to sign into a Google account.
