Hey, everyone. I recently obtained a Palm 3245WW bluetooth keyboard. The device works great, pairing is really easy and once connected it works fine without any glitches. The keyboard is really easy to use, and hiding the on-screen keyboard is easy in order to have more workspace. After a couple of day's use, I am satisfied with the build quality, it really feels like a real keyboard and it is quite responsive. Even some (not all) of the keyboard shortcuts work!
My question is if anyone who has used the keyboards knows how of a key combination to enter the alternative inputs (such as accents, etc). I could use them when writing Greek, where the vowels can be accented. Otherwise, is there some way to alter the key mapping in order to define how the system reads certain key combinations? I have tried several combinations, such as alt+key or control+key or Fn+key, but to no avail.
Any directions would be appreciated!
Thanks!
Sav
P.S. Apologies if this the wrong place to post this!
Why did U open a new thread. There is already an existing thread. Now this is when I don't read and jump on to post your cap.
However, I don't have any experience with this keyboard so I cannot help on this.

I searched around and did not find any threads on this particular keyboard on SGS2. I found a few threads regarding other phones (mostly unsuccessful attempts with this particular keyboard), so I thought I'd ask if anyone has used it with this particular phone.
Again, sorry if this is the wrong place to post, I am new here.
Thats ok matey, just do a comprehensive search next time.
Ok so it appears that ALOT of people came from the OG Droid to the GNex.
Just wanted to see if there was any more interest out there for the softkeys to be the same as first used on the OG Droid.
I know there are other Devs working on this, PaulB....etc..
I rarely used the Search on my Droid (actually cant remember ever using it, but anyway.) But I used Back Arrow all the time. Like it on the far LEFT. Then Menu, and then Home. Multi Task can be removed as well.
If anyone else feels this way, feel free to reply.
Oh and if Im posting in the wrong , place, please move. Thanks.
dude.. we just get this development forum opened and THIS is the first thread created? c'mon this has nothing to do with development. If you're looking to judge people's interest in something consider starting in the general or q and a section if you're going to start a thread or better yet, posting in the relevant thread, which you referenced would be a good idea.
Nice request but you willget much better results posting in the right sectiom
My bad for posting in the wrong place. CDMA Development specific forum looked like the right place. Besides like you said, nothing else was posted. I now know that you were just starting up the new area.
Thanks for moving to the right place.
Now with that out of the way,
What is everyones thoughts?
This would be AMAZING!
So hang on a second, you want to remove a major feature of Android 4.0, the multi-tasking menu and replace it with a search button that can also be accessed from the top of the screen AND that you said your self you have NEVER used.... excuse me but your logic does not seem sane... Why would you not just leave the multi-tasking button and just put it in the place of the search button...
No. I think you misread my post.
I like the button arrangement on the Droid. I don't like how the menu/settings button or dots now are never in the same place on 4.0. It depends on the app as to its placement . Pretty silly in my opinion. I like the soft key idea ALOT, just not the new arrangement.
And I said you could take the SEARCH key off as I never use it. Menu/settings key is the one I would like to see on the bottom always. Heck exchanging the multi task key for menu/settings would be cool as well.
I could probably get used to the multi task once I use it some. Still trying to break old habits of pushing home or back.

I hink its a great idea. Id suggest that you allow the search button to still be available with side dots but the back, menu, home and recents apps with OGD buttons icons would be awaeome. I hope i get to flash this in the very near future
I like the idea. What would be even better is if we were able to just change the icons and what they do. A lot like you would do with a app launcher.
Greetings all, I have been busting my brains trying to get the resolution proper on my S4 with the Awesome Note HD app. worked great on my S3 and would like to continue to use it. I've tried using the Xposed DPI per App module and it's not re-sizing the app appropriately. I know I have it installed and working as I can alter other apps. Any help trying to solve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
This baffles me as well. I've tried every option possible in Xposed, googled several threads and even enabled ALL permissions, but nothing works. Xposed will alter pretty much any app except Awesome Note.
Same here

I to have tried this but failed. Is there any way to do this people...
My guess would be find the XML file in the apk responsible for drawing this and the set the dimensions of it to wrap_content or fill_parent. Seems like it's hard coded.

If anyone can get it to work I'd be interested in using the app

No luck so far, but this is the first time I've ever tried modding an app. I've been able to locate and edit the layout, layout portrait and layout landscape xml files, but no change. Obviously I'm missing something (likely very simple). I'll keep researching/learning and post back with any updates.

Question to you: the fill_parent/wrap_content code is all over the layout xml files. Do I have to change every entry or should I be looking at a specific line?

Youre gonna have to figure out which one draws what you are looking at and what is not being drawn correctly. I hate xml, when i make programs, 90 percent of my layouts are made programmatically. thats how much i hate xml.

Damn, ever bit of this app is coded. Every tab, every title, every icon, every title. As far as I can see, the only way to get a real workable and attractive setup is to rewrite the graphics. I can get a few things to stretch - background now fills and bottom icons on main page are larger - but the right side dead space is still there and tab text remains the same, though the tab backgrounds have shifted and grew just a hair. Moving all of the files from the drawable-nodpi folder to the drawable folder allows Xposed to have some control, but not enough.
I think the biggest problem is our phones resolution. 1080 is just not supported properly. Though I did dig around and find a "true" listing for support of small, large and extra large screens. Personally, I'm beginning to hate this app, but I'll keep plugging away for the learning experience.
Mind you I am a COMPLETE NOVICE at this. If you'd like to see what I've been able to figure out thus far, and maybe add some input, I'll gladly send you the apk. Just PM me. I'm using @elesbb APK Tool which has a 2 second learning curve.

This sounds like the Camera APK i use a DPI of 320, and the camera is all fritz out and small. I decompiled it just to take a peek as i don't have the time right now to fix it, but it looks all hard coded and yes everything has to be coded even the tab, button, everything ANDROID IS FUN
Any news about this?
If anyone knows how to solve this problem, let me know, please!

I am new to android app development but am spending more and more time on these threads. I have a Verizon sgs4 with eclipse ROM. I would love to see the progress you've made with this app but I'm new and not sure how to message you. If you have time feel free to send me that apk and I'll see if I can try and help.
Did anyone get anywhere with this? This seems to be the only app that looks like it will do everything I want, but just isn't scaled correctly. Unless anyone knows of a good alternative?
I got my Galaxy Note for the sole purpose of taking notes in class, but I've had a lot of issues with the S Note app and I'm seriously considering returning it. I was wondering if anyone else experienced the same issues as me.
First off, when I try to import a pdf with a large number of pages, it just gets stuck on the Importing... screen for a long time. I thought this might be because it is converting to pdf in some way. Also while it's converting the back near the camera area gets very warm.
Secondly, while I was in class and taking notes, the stupid S Notes app starting lagging. I would draw a pencil stroke, and it would take about 5 seconds for the stroke to show up on the screen! This happens usually after writing on it for about 10 minutes or so and it only happens in the S-Note app.
And my last issue was the paper choices and sizes. They don't let you use regular sized U.S paper. And the paper has a weird brown color on it, so if you print it you'll see an ugly brown shade behind it. I really wish they would fix this app.
Also, I tried lecture notes, but it just doesn't write as smoothly as S-Note. I want to make it work, but unless Samsung releases an update soon, I might have to go back to pen and paper.
Is anyone else experiencing the same issues as me?
I'm having similar problems on my side. I really hate the zoom occurring while my palm is on the screen. Is there no way to lock the screen? No matter what I do the page keeps shifting. The three finger pinch to show the menu sucks because it keeps zooming the page. I tried switching to lecture notes, but just as you said it is not as smooth.

I don't have problem number 2, I'm not sure why you're having that problem. But for problem number one, I use ezPDF and just take snapshots of things I want in the PDF. That way i can just copy and paste into my notes.

I have tried that and it'll still go on the fritz every now and then. Also, you should check out the adobe reader app. I tried ezPDF but reader does the same stuff and is free, less crowded, and a bit smother.

Yea, I've started using ezPDF which isn't too terrible. It does have a slightly unattractive interface but it gets the job done. I also did a factory reset and hopefully that will fix my issues with the strokes taking unbearably long to show up on the page (maybe there was a conflict with some other software). I'm still waiting for my Samsung Perks, so I can buy the full version of ezPDF.
I really hope Samsung works out there issues. I'm seriously considering returning this and buying the old Galaxy 10.1 model. That one seems to have a better S Note app, and for half the price.

Try Note AnyTime, this is free, by a japaneese Company ( MetaMoJi).
This is good for note taking.
I dropped S-Notes, because it cannot cut/copy and paste hand written note.
So if you want to move part of your hand written sentence to another area,
which is more appropriate, without re-writing it, you are out of luck.
That is the biggest problem, as far as I am concerned.
The work around was not acceptable to me, which is as follows.
You can take a snapshot of the whole screen and crop only the interested hand written part, and
re-use it, but that means, you have converted your hand writing, to a bitmap, with all the back ground image.
This is horrible, do not know how they can release S-Note without this basic feature.
Mind that, Note AnyTime does not have to shape rendering feature ( hand drawn circle to perfect circle),
or the formula rendering feature.
But I can leave with it.
Hope that helps.

Hi guys
Just received this head unit today and it's my first android device for a few years - spent the evening installing it and I love it already - it's a huge leap from stuff I've had in the past.
One thing I can't see how to do though is how to add/change widgets on the main home screen on this version of android/this head unit.
I'm sure on previous android devices I've had it's been a case of doing a long press maybe on blank space on the screen, but this doesn't do anything. I found a screen panel which has some widgets that can be added to additional screens, but not the main one, and it doesn't include the items currently present, not things like app shortcuts etc etc.
This is probably a stupid/easy question sorry but I can't find out on this device how I change these, so if someone could assist I'd be really grateful, thanks!
Jim
Hi
I moved your thread to Q&A-Section.
Would you please tell us which ROM you are using? Or are you still on stock?
Sorry, my bad. Thanks for moving it!
It's still the stock rom. Does it say the details for that in settings where it has the other details such as model/processor etc?
Thanks!
Anyone?
Thanks if anyone can help
You'll need to use a different launcher. The default ones (next, etc) do not allow much/any modification
Thanks for the tip Brendo - didn't realise that's what it came down to.
I'll have a look into alternatives, but are there certain ones that are favoured for head units as opposed to ones that might be favourites on phones for different reasons etc?
Cheers!
Jim
Right - after some searching and reading I'm gonna change the launcher to Nova as it looks great and very flexible.
Also going to stick poweramp in it I think as a better quality music player.
