Ahhhhhhhhhhhh

OhShizzl3 said:
Hi, i accidentally deleted the favorite settings off of the menu on my Omnia. Now the shortcut button doesnt work and keeps saying that the file "Favorite Settings" is not found in the main menu.
Does anyone have a downloadable file and method of how to get this shortcut working again?

This is because you need two files, the main HTC IME file that you must have installed, and the Clicker.apk file. The Clicker file adds the entry to the Locale and Text option in Settings, so you can choose the HTC keyboard. Attached a full package for you below, just unzip and install both as normal APK's.

Ah, thanks!

i installed click.apk and then used de update zip of evo keyboard and when a choose the keyboard i always get an error and force to clode

Because you can't use the EVO Keyboard that means, the keyboard i attached has been compiled by XDA'ers and it's compatible with most Froyo phones, the stock Keyboard won't work on ours as we have a Sammy phone.

damn it! i already tryed the xda version but miss the arrow keys. is there another keyboard like htc with arrows?

Try smartkeyboard download from market
You can set gesture for the arrow functions.. It works for me

{PRO} [Q&A] How to change physical keyboard layout on xperia mk16i

As I'm a newbie here, I'm not aloud to post this in the dev section.
So I'll explain how you can simply change you're physical keyboard layout on Gingerbread and ICS easily without flashing an appropriate kernel for the Xperia Pro mk16i iyokan.
-So first you need root access.
-second, you need to install a root explorer like ES file explorer.
activate the root access to /system in the option of ES file explorer.
-ones you're here, you need to identify all the layout you're rom got. they are listed as xml files in the directory:
/system/usr/keyboard-config/layouts
my rom contains almost all keyset imaginable.
-Now you've find the name of your keyset find the file :
/system/usr/keyboard-config/keyprint.xml
-edit it with the file explorer integrated file editor.
-you'll find a file formatted with a fanzy SE header and that:
HTML:
<Keyprint>
<Script name="arabic" keylayout="arabic"/>
<Script name="cyrillic" keylayout="cyrillic"/>
<Script name="greek" keylayout="greek"/>
<Script name="hebrew" keylayout="hebrew"/>
<Script name="latin" keylayout="qwerty"/>
<Script name="thai" keylayout="thai"/>
</Keyprint>
-Choose the alphabet you use and put the name of your layout without the xml file extension.
if you're europeen or american, I guest latin will be you're choice.
For arabic, greek, croatian russian... and every other languages using an another alphabet I let you choose
So for example if I want to change my latin layout from Qwerty to Qwertz
I replace the line
HTML:
<Script name="latin" keylayout="qwerty"/>
by
HTML:
<Script name="latin" keylayout="qwertz"/>
-so save the file and reboot you're phone, you should now get the right keyboard set for you're phone.
Or you can edit it with adb by pulling the file and pushing it after (but it's a bit more tricky
Have a good night and if anybody can move my thread in the good section I'll be very pleased
ps:
All credits and inspiration came from the original post of ameer1234567890 which provide a lot of flashable layout.

I think this works only on stock and stock based ROMs. Can someone please confirm if this works on a ROM like CM7 or CM9.

I'd like to know too, because i used to use cm7 on htc dz but as cm7 or 9 are still in dev for mk16i I never tried them on mine for now

Hey.can u be more specific? How to do this?
I got the file..and now what should i do?
Thnx

I had an example in the tuto, if you still don't understand, I'll try to explain it again ;-)
Good luck

This does not work in 3rd party apps (smart keyboard pro and swiftkey), also on some cases chrome will misbehave as well. I think chrome is bypassing the xperia keyboard when it's trying to be super-secure such as entering passwords.
Chrome won't show you virtual keyboard at all in such cases so I think it can be safely filed under BUG but that won't help if you can't sign in. Using opera mobile as a workaround works..
I'm pretty sure the stock gingerbread finnish firmware played nice with smart keyboard pro. There's a link in the "root" Xperia pro thread where you can download "hotfix" for Xperia pro. These claim to be keyboard layouts for various languages. These are NOT the text files you describe here but the actual android keymap files.
They did not work for me, though, boo. I'll have to try again. The files in keychars-folder (MAKE BACKUPS!!) are .kcm.bin while the originals are called .kcm. I would assume both are not used at the same time. In keylayouts (backup bro) the replacement files are .kl, same as original but smaller.

3rd party keyboard has never been my point.
Stock android is handling physical keyboard a certain way, and virtual keyboard such as slide it or swiftkey do as they want with that kind of thing.
Switft never works correctly for me with stock rom or with custom rom.
Sorry if it doesn't work.
but if every software interprete keyboard there own way, we're damn lost. I never use Chrome but I guest it can also interprets keyboard layout its own way.
the flash fix you talk about is interesting, I'll try it asap. thks

Those keyboard layout/keychars files just make the HW keyboard stop working properly. I think they come from mini pro. Or at the very least they'd need some configury thingy somethere.
As a positive note, they DO make HW keyboard behave differently but swedish/finnish one definitely does not produce local chars.
Meh, I guess I need to fork up 2€ for wotanserver to get authentic finnish firmware.
FWIW I'm pretty sure stock finnish gingerbread firmware didn't have a problem with smart keyboard pro. And android + keyboard is a bit of a odd-man-out, we don't even get a forum..
Ed: Chrome works ok 95% of the time, I should file bug about text boxes where it goes crazy.

That's too bad, that it doesn't work for you.
Fact is we are at the border of android with physical keyboard.
And ow with nexus 3 without physical button except for sound and power...
I think (not hope) that physical keyboard for phones is almost arrived at its end.
Regarding stock firmwares, my update to ICS made by official sony companion just put me a Qwerty layout :-D so don't be so sure about stock firmwares ;-)

Umlauts in quertz
anybody know how to fix the orders of the umlauts for qwertz layout in the pop-up and make the SYM-Button working?
flashing of files newer worked for me, or a could'nt more use the shortcuts like copy-paste...
see also this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658959&page=20

Search trough the web for solution. nothing.
Physical keyboard has a driver, or own FW or sumthing?
And can i have the stock xperia physical keyboard app?
My sym button doesn't work, my direction arrows are weird, qwerty-stroke keyboard layout. But i accept the latin one too
Or where is this "driver"-stuff in the ROM? Can i copy from old ROM (which one is working), to ICS .587 (which don't)?
Thanks in advance

Good Post, i tried it but it does not work after i reboot.
So my keyboard is still the QWERTY layout instead of QWERTZ
Also, some detailed instructions on ES Explorer.
Once you open ES Explorer, Left Drawer --> Go to Tools --> Root Explorer --> Mount RW --> Set / to RW
Now you can follow the steps to edit the keyprint.xml
Again let me remind you, i tried this and it does not work. So if i have done it the wrong way, please let me know.

[Q] [HELP]Port Ivona Salli to Android

Ivona Salli has been added to the Kindle Fire and I was messing around with the "say" command in Tasker and was absolutely stunned by this voice. I tried extracting every single Ivona file out of a Kindle update bin and put it all in stock Android. I had 2 outcomes. 1) Ivona TTS has stopped working 2) I fixed that only to find out that Ivona TTS had no version info so language and input didn't want to keep it selected. Would anybody happen to know how or even try to pull this off? Salli is the best TTS voice ever and it would be fantastic to have on stock Android.

Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck

Did anyone get any further with this? Maybe someone could upload the Salli files, so others could take a look?

I got tired of my Kindle Fire and it's lack of stock Android features and simple things like having TWRP for nandroid backups, so I ended up grabbing a Nexus 9 instead. It'd still be nice if anybody else can upload the Salli files though.

i'd love to see this too. Salli is one of the best TTS voices i have heard.

it has been done. 4pdu forum has the details.

Do you have a link to where this is posted on 4PDU? My Russian is lacking and I'm having a hard time finding it.

here are the details.
https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=200728&st=1000
essentially you need to:
Download the ivona modded app.
Download the salli voices
install the app
put the voices on your sdcard.
rename a couple of files.
run the modded app and point it to the voice files. Job done!
(hit thanks if i helped!)

Thanks Sage. Now I just need to figure out how to make an account over there so I can download the files. Can't get past the Russian captcha image. Thanks again.

Hey, I saw your message about Ivona.
I have the 4pda files, and I've tried to install, but it always crashes.
I'm not sure that I'm putting thing in the right places and making the right mods, because
the install scripts directories do not work (no /data/data for one). So I had to edit the files and try to make it the best I could.
I'm on nougat. Can you shed any light?
thanks

Click to collapse
i can try.. i am Nougat too so that won't be the problem.
Put the Ivona files in an Ivona folder in the root of your SDCard. \Ivova\eng.us.salli\
you need to rename the files to match the voice you want to use. In my folder i have:
lang_en_us_salli.dat
libtiver.so
libttsivonavoice.so
libvoice_en_us_salli.so
voice_en-Us_salli.dat
vox_en_us_salli22i
Install the modified apk ivona.tts.1.0.0.0b1
Go to Text to speech settings and choose Ivona. Press the Settings button near it choose install voice data and select the ROOT of the folder where eng.us.salli is. So the Ivona folder. NOT the eng.us.salli folder.
If you do it right you should get about 6 log about saying successful. If you do it wrong you only get 2 log lines.
I also have Ivona set to use System Language. And in Android i have both Australia and America. (Because Salli is an American language). I then use Tasker to utilise the voice.

Thanks alot Sage. Appreciate the effort.
Now I have to Play around with how to install everything. I'll rad your other post about that.
I'm kinda new to all this flashing and hacking devices so I'll try my best to get it going before I ask questions.
I have a Samsuung SM-T320 wifi that I breathed new life into running cyanogenmod 13. I use it for reading ebooks and been looking for a voice to run text to speech and Salli is by far the best with British Amy coming in a close second.
Thanks once again for the share. :good:

So I have the apk installed and the Ivona folder on the sd card.
I have selected the Ivona tts gone into setting added the ivona folder not the eng.us.salli
The log tells me it completed successfully.
WHen i go back to the the text to speech menu under the Ivona tts 2 menu option are unavalable which are
1. speech rate
2.listen to an ecample
3. defualt language status is avalable with the grey message English (United states, SALLI) is not supported
What am i doing wrong?
seems like this file is missing maybe? I really don't know
voice_en-Us_salli.dat
I saw it on your other post

Sounds like you did everything right. Mine says "Use System Language" and my System Language is English Australia. Though i know in the settings i added United States as well. (you can have 2 languages installed)
voice_en_us_salli.dat is just lang_en_us_salli.dat renamed.

So I just had a look at the original file that you shared. In that file I only got this .dat file - lang_en_us.dat
Now I renamed that file to what match your file list that you posted which was lang_en_us_salli.dat (added the salli)
Should I revert it back to how you sent it?
Should I also add another renamed file voice_en_us_salli.dat?
What is your suggestion?
1. Should I run lang_en_us.dat & renamed file voice_en_us_salli.dat?
2. lang_en_us_salli.dat & voice_en_us_salli.dat
3. only lang_en_us.dat with nothing else?
I would've used the Aussie voices but I don't think they're as good as the U.S
Cheers

So I tried all the above combinations and still nothing works.
In the Language menu I have 4 options
1. use sysytem language
2.English
3.English(United States)
4English(United states SALLI)
In the Ivona TTS section
If i select the first 3 options
spech rate
listen to an example
default language status are all operational options although none will play a demonstration
With Salli selected in the language menu
The fist two options in the Ivona TTS section are not operational and the default language stats says Salli is not supported
I'm confused

[Q] Has G4 Stock App permission Manager?

Hello, could someone verify if G4 has hidden permission manager like G3?
G3 procedure:
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-lg-stock-app-permission-manager-t3016122)
Please, sorry for my english!
Best regards.

Yes it does, Nice find I did not know this existed on the G4 since I didn't own a G3

Using this, one can also create a shortcut for the "Trusted Face" app, that AFAIK is hidden on the G4 by default. I haven't tested whether it actually works, but the app launches just fine (via com.android.facelock/com.android.facelock.SetupIntro).

You can also create this shortcut with Nova Launcher (activities).
Not like Xposed+Xprivacy this permissions manager will completely block the permissions and not feed the app with false data, this can cause the app to fc.

I've used the guide in the op but I can't find it for my LG G4, I am on the latest ROM/FW, 10B. Any help would be appreciated

To save the sanity of future readers, here's how to search:
Set search method to normal search and type Access Lock to find the activity.

That was the first thing I tried, it does not find the 'Access Lock', I found out that the reason behind this is that the phone language is not set to EN and thus 'Access' does not result in Access Lock. It finds the 'AccessoirySettingsActivity' setting but not the permissions manager.

For German language search for "Zugriff", thats how I found it on my phone.

The permission manager can be also opened via Google Gesture Search - just write Access Lock and it's there.
