There is a lot of speculation and conflicting reports of how voice-to-text was implemented on the Desire. After reading every thread related to v2t, Im still totally confused
If you already have a handset, could you please tell us what the real story is with voice-to-text? No speculation, rumours etc please! If you are lucky enough to already have one, please help by answering these 2 questions?
1) Is voice-to-text available as a 'general' text input (in place of the on-screen keyboard)? I know there is a thread on how to enable it using an alternative keyboard but that's not what Im asking.
2) Is it available on all versions (unlocked, T-Mobile, Orange??)
To assist with getting a definitive answer to the second question, please include the carrier/store you bought your handset from.
Thanks in advance for your help!!
initially i thought this thread was about how good voice to text was, but then read your post. So i'll comment on both.
I got my desire direct from t mobile, and voice to text was not a function i could find. It wasn't until i downloaded the keyboard app referenced in other posts, and then switched to android keyboard instead of the stock htc keyboard, that i could find and use speech to text. I presume that the speech to text button was always present on the android keyboard and the extra keyboard app only activated the function which wasn't working before. However, as i only found out how to activate the android keyboard after i downloaded the extra keyboard app, I can't be too sure.
I can only issume that it would be the same for the generic ROM and other network ROM users. But from hearing about the people who have received the OTA update it seems that speech to text function may be changing or being disabled. I definitely hope not, though.
I used speech to text for half of this message. It seems to be working really well for me, despite what a lot of other people are saying. It's definitely not perfect, but i can see it as a function i will use often. I look forward to it getting better, and hope it will stay on the desire.
Sorry if this was already covered. I am an US Citizen stationed in japan. I have the Sony Arc here. The problem I have is that most of the apps and stuff are all converted to Japanese. They also have a bunch of crap apps that I don't know what they do nor can I read/understand them because of the language. If I root it and put a new kernel etc on it, will it mess up the carrier based part of it, i.e. will I still be able to make phone calls and such? I don't want anythign to happen like that if that makes any sense. I apologize because Im sure it's a dumb question. I am new to this type stuff. Thank you in advance
It won't, these are completely independent. Hack away!

If you haven't already found an answer, I've found this for you.
I haven't checked it out thoroughly, but it looks like it'll work.
Please read it thoroughly before making any changes to your device, and have a Nandroid backup just in case

The above may also work with other Language Sets.
I haven't tested it though....
Hi ya lads and gals
I'd appreciate some help with adjusting the auto correct features on the HTC One M8 - I'd like to disable the automatic replacement of words as you type - but I'd like to leave the list of word suggestions or spell check suggestions as you tap an underlined word.
I don't know if this is a Sense 6 specific option, but you can either have both - suggestions and auto correct - or none at all. You have only one check box and you can't go deeper into the options (Sense 3.6 had more options).
i.e.: edit: sorry, can't post links yet - you can view this screen cap i.imgur.com/XIxn8mr.jpg?1
However on both Sony SP (4.3) and Sony Z1 (4.4) you can tap on word suggestions to get more options, including disabling automatic replacement of words. This however leaves the suggestion list and underlines misspelled words (but otherwise leaves them alone). Which leads me to believe this option might be available on stock android and just hidden in the Sense UI.
i.e.: edit: sorry, can't post links yet - you can view this screen cap at i.imgur.com/VPkl3k1.jpg?1
I often write bilingual messages and use various abbreviations and/or slang and adding these to the dictionary while fast typing is not an option in the long run .
I'd appreciate your insight into this, thanks in advance :fingers-crossed:
PS - my phone's not rooted.
Get Swiftkey https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.touchtype.swiftkey.
I have paid for it twice, for phone and tablet, but now its free.
Thanks for the suggestion NikosPx, but I wanna work on the stock app (I'm crazy that way ).
Ok so I did some more checking and I found that Android 4.4.3 on the Nexus 4 also has separate options for suggestions and auto correct: i.imgur.com/QTsTVrs.jpg?1 - makes me wonder why HTC would choose to hide these options in the new Sense UI
Anywho, asked HTC on Twitter, but I fear I'm not popular enough to warrant an answer, sigh

Wonder if the GPE M8 has these settings...
Having the same problem..i realise this is an old post but like you i am also crazy enough to not want any additional keyboard softwares on my mobile.
just wondering if you have found a solution to your problem in stock setttings..
Htc m8 4.4.4 not rooted and sense 6.0
Hey, sorry but no luck. I've eventually given in and switched to swiftkey keeping my hopes up for the lollipop update though.
I have posted this question on StackOverflow, Reverse Engineering Stack Exchange but no one answer
Did anyone remember the Mediatek's MRE (MAUI runtime environment)? That thing has completely gone since 2016. Does anyone have a way to do this? As I described in the links, someone said that the application needs to be signed before running on Nokia S30+. Does anyone have a sign tool or something like that? Thanks!
In this forum, if I remembered well, there are tutorials for creating VXP apps for watchface for some Mediatek-based watches, but when I try that, it does not work.
Currently I'm reversing the Nokia 225's firmware to see how it loads the vxp binary and vertify its signature, but the firmware is somehow encrypted. Does anyone have a full firmware dump from flash of a Nokia 220/225 or any S30+ devices?
Thank you so much!
Hey there, I don't have an answer to your question but would you be willing to answer a small question pertaining to what you asked?
I have a Nokia 225 4G, and I'm wondering how to uninstall system apps like Facebook and Opera Mini that come pre-installed with the phone. Is there some sort of developer option that can be enabled like on other android phones? You seem to be an expert with this kind of thing so I thought I'd ask.

Hello! I did find the answer to my question (you can see the answer in RE.SE).
About your question, I think it's possible to do this. I have seen some API in MRE SDK to do this kind of thing. Also, I'm not an expert in this kind of thing )
You might want to reach [Ximik_Boda](https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showuser=6288932) using QMS feature in 4pda forum. He is an expert in MRE development. In fact, my answer in RE.SE is based on his research. Sign up an account (there are tutorial on the Internet for signing up an account on 4pda forum for people who don't understand Russian, like me), and then ask him in Russian (he won't chat to you in English). You might want to use Google Translate. Even if you are not native English speaker, try writing the message in English and then translate it to Russian, it will be much more accurate than translate from your native language to Russian (I tried that).
I will ask him your question to see if it's possible to do that. Thanks!

Wow man thank you so much! That's so awesome that you reached out to him with my question. I'll do the same if I can make an account...I'll need to find someone who can read Russian to help with the captcha.
Again, thank you for your help.

You don't need anyone to read the captcha. You can bypass it: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/how-to-bypass-4pda-captchas/

Sorry, my stupid! Nokia 225 4G is not the same as Nokia 225. I have searched on the internet and found that it run S30 OS.
From this Reddit post (
https://www.reddit.com/r/dumbphones/comments/mup1gg
) it's said that it's not possible to uninstall apps from Nokia 225 4G.
Why do you want to uninstall it? I don't think it will free much storage.
Is there a way to side load apps into these things? And the OS doesn’t seem to be Series 30+ anymore…

Yes, and it seems that the OS is a variation of KaiOS. Maybe you can ask people on some KaiOS forum?
And if I rembered correctly there are some example app repos for KaiOS on Github.
Good luck!
EDIT: if you are out of luck and really want to do this, I would suggest finding some flash tool to read the ROM and reverse engineer it. Or you can find some debug port (JTAG) or debug mode (like AT commands?) to dump the flash.
Or just desolder the flash IC and read it back (but it will be hard)
Actually, the OS on the feature phones without WiFi ex, Nokia 225 run something called Smart Feature OS which is proprietry. The app store is from gameloft afaik.
In that case you might want to find firmware updates of the phone and analyze it, or dump the flash from the phone and RE it

I'm researching the Nokia 225 4G TA-1282, and Nokia's site states that it does indeed run S30+.
