LG keyboard greyed out options

Hey all. I just got the phone yesterday and am loving it btw. I liked using the LG keyboard and having the extra row on top with the numbers. However, after messing with it for a while, that disappeared and it started to say each letter out loud and most of the options are greyed out as seen in the screen shot. The only thing I have found in searching that might have caused it is trying out light flow lite. Has anyone else experienced this or know a way to fix it?

Yes light flow and other apps seems to trigger the talkback feature even though its says its off. The solution I found is to go into setting then apps find the talk back app and uninstall it. Then all that will stop. If you ever need it again you can just install it again. I notice this only happen with LG keyboard. Other 3rd party keyboards are fine

That did it. Thank you so much! However, it worked to simply disable the Talkback app instead of actually uninstalling (it didn't have that as an option since it's a system app). Everything is good now!

There is no option there. Only a force stop option, but I believe that once you reboot your device the app is again active.

I've just released a location based reminders app. It's called Geobells. It works similarly to Google Now, but (in my testing) is significantly more accurate. In addition, it offers more features such as reminding you when you leave a place or at any place of a certain type (for example, any grocery store instead of just one). If you're still looking for a location reminder app, you should try it out. Click to view on the Google Play store

I'm pretty sure that the app works on your devices, so I think it's because of where you live. What country are you in? I've made the app not available to some countries because a) Sometimes ads don't work with them and b) There aren't that many English speakers in the country (therefore I don't make it available because no one would be able to use it).
Anyways, if you tell me your country, I can add it to the list of available countries, and then you should see it on the store within a few hours.
Oh and btw, the reason you see the full version is because I haven't gotten around to selecting specific countries for it (lol)
Thanks!

When your phone is rooted, it knows, and so do the apps. That's why you cannot install isis wallet if your phone is rooted. In the about section in settings, it says if the device is rooted. If it says modified then it is rooted and any app can probably see that. Doesn't mean that tmobile knows it is, but the app does, and it may, or may not report this back to them.

Actually, you granted them access by accepting the permissions. Thats why i read that stuff. And being a developer, i can usually figure out what actions fall under the required permissions too.

They went commercial, now are a official corporation. They are looking to make that money, eventually. With features like a CM account, privacy guard, secure messaging they were getting ready for it. None of those are attractive though.

it seems more likely the purchase fees will be for the added features. Allcast is the perfect example. It's a CM app on the app store that has a time limit unless you pay money. That's their future. I can easily imagine a CM rom that is basically AOSP, and a collection of appstore apps that you have to pay money for to get the "Full CM experience". Of course, if you buy a CM phone (like the oppo n1), you'd get all those for free.

Or they just collect your data and sell it on their own kinda like Google

You will see the update and it will prompt to install but it will fail because the OTA's are very sensitive to change. They require the exact stock rom from the latest version before kitkat i believe. Since youve removed the Zappos app, it will definitely fail. This is why majority are going back to stock just to get the kit-kat update.

Really you just need to use RSDLite to return to stock. Depending on all you have done you may need to modify the .XML file in the image, but its very easy and just uses Notepad.

All Samsung devices and most Android devices have the volume settings individually controlled--out of the box with no ....Wanam modes..... (Not a fan) you will be stuck with the segregated controls. (This is more of a blessing than a curse--most iPhone users would love to have this, if they are willing to admit it).
Sorry.
