So I installed Graffiti pro on my tablet. After some brief reading discovered it is actually official too. Cool. Then I thought it may help me with my inability to use the tiny onscreen keyboard on my Ideos. Installed it, turned it on in input and language settings and ...nothing. Still just get the standard onscreen keyboard. Can anyone tell me how I'd switch between input methods in 2.2?

I'm really starting to think the App Manager in ROM Toolbox Pro is garbage. I backed up all new apps and new app versions, wiped and installed a new ROM, restored all apps with data, then the market updates like 15 apps. It also seems to hang at 80% when restoring my apps. I guess I'm going to back to Titanium Backup.

It won't work either, I haven't been able to sever anything from the Market in about 2 weeks.

General_Failure posted:I'm looking for an alternate input method for my Elf II tablet. I'm not fond of the default ICS keyboard in the slightest, especially because I like to use other characters including punctuation. Can you hold down the period to get more characters? This is how it works on the JB keyboard. I had the same complaint before I figured that out. Also, holy poo poo new Location History in the updated Maps.

All it gives me is the '?'. While I'm very happy that Graffiti for Android is a thing, it'd be nice to have a less terrible keyboard for when Graffiti doesn't suit.

Try Thumb Keyboard for arrow keys and smart tablet layouts and Hacker's Keyboard for a Qwerty layout for coding, remote desktop, etc.

Location history and Google Now are always kind of hosed up for me. This is because I work from home and additionally make many short trips during the day to different job sites. Google has no idea wtf is going on with me.

If anyone is looking for a nice SkyDrive app, Android Explorer for SkyDrive is fantastic. I heard there's gonna be an official app but I doubt it'll be as nice as this one.

Anyone recommend me a good RTS, strategy game in general that I may engulf my hands upon? I've tried Auralux which is pretty awesome, but I know there's better out there.

Eh, I'm a little irritated with Swiftkey right now. It keeps going off the wall with suggestions; the other day, it decided that 'I' should autocorrect to 'imagine'. I really miss the backspace->revert+override functionality of my last keyboard, might go back to it. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 11:32 on Aug 17, 2012 |

The usual thing to do when Swiftkey is loving up prediction is to make sure your language pack doesn't need an update. Sometimes they seem to get corrupted (or something) and grabbing an update will correct it.

Has anyone else noticed the following issues with Swype beta? Won't automatically capitalise the first letter in a field. Randomly chooses between on-screen editing & the separate, Swype editing page (which is jarring & white). Doesn't automatically put a space between a word and the & symbol. Also I get the occasional bug where I'm typing a word & it automatically fills in a suggestion, then I go to delete the auto-filled part & it dumps the word in again, so I end up with a string like: Automatiautomaticalautomatauto The prediction is so much better than the original Swype but this last bug is doing my head in.

I definitely have the bug where it won't capitalize at the start of a sentence and I think I've had that last one too. They also still haven't fixed the swype-to-comma bug. In fact, I don't think they've pushed a single beta update yet.

Does anyone know if project butter is implemented into all of Jelly Bean or is it just the stock launcher? In other words, if I decide to use a different launcher like Nova, do I lose the smoothness of project butter? Secondly, I installed changelog droid as per the discussion in this thread earlier. For some reason I can't get the drat thing to find my unique device ID. Is this because I'm using a non-stock ROM? I have the gtalk service installed and it pops up, but when I hit back, it just says "no ID".

It makes the entire thing smoother

LastInLine posted:I've had four checkins since the update and everything has been fine. What problem are you having? I just fixed it by clearing my maps settings, but I wasn't able into use any of the options in latitude and was totally locked out of sharing. Market reviews showed similar things had happened to others. They did get rid of the widget which I actually used though, which is rather disappointing.
