[Q] Selecting Text - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Using a sense based rom, when I click on a word and try to move the cursor around to edit a typo, the little circle will often disappear, if it doesn't disappear, when I move the cursor, it immediately disappears. Using an AOSP based rom, it works much better.
Is there something I can do to fix this on a sense based rom or is it just garbage?

If you don't mind me asking, what AOSP ROMs have you been using...

I was using Cyanogen mod 7 Alpha release...but the behavior i'm speaking of is present in all Cyanogen Mod/Stock google AOSP.
It seems that with sense this feature is just flat out buggy

mixing and matching aosp and sammy apps

hi,
loving many of the new ics roms around, apart from 2 fundamental things, the camera app and the fact i have no return key on my swype keyboard, its a smiley key (WTF!) ive searched around a lot trying to find the answer to this, seems there is none, using the jap swype gives me the return key back, but this sends the text rather than goes to next line.
using go sms gives my the keyboard functions as they "should" be, but dont like it too much.
im using Resurrection remix, can i add the sammy apps i desire into this??
im guess the answer is no.
so, is there anyway i can "recook" this rom to add the sammy apps i want?
thanks in advance.
if resurection rom is aosp then no you cant put samsung apps on it

[Q] Can stock samsung mms.apk be imported into aokp or aosp roms?

So i have flashed countless custom roms and found alot of little differences i liked in all of them. I have come to find i enjoy the customization options of AOKP and AOSP ICS roms. My only drawback is I (which seems unlike alot of other users) actually like the stock samsung messaging app, the mms that comes along with the aosp or aokp roms is slightly plain, atleast for myself.
If anyone has a fix for this or can point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry if kinda all over the place with this request, first time posting
Try placing it in system app after doing a Android. Can't hurt although it will probably break being able to text people from the dialer app.

Well i actually tried that once, i do know with similar based roms (ie. SHOstock, Ultimatum..) a copy and paste over the mms.apk in system/app folder followed by a restart did apply and worked fine.
When i attempted to replace mms in aokp or a cyanogenmod variant of some kind it came back with no messaging after reboot
Well from what I have read the stock mms app from samsung will not work because it is apart of the touchwiz interface and will not work on aosp/aokp/cm9! If you want it that bad you will have to go to a touchwiz based rom like shostock2. I actually prefer the stock aosp mms app over the iPhone inspired sammy app! Touchwiz sucks in my opinion.
Hth,

System apps won't work across bases (AOSP to Touchwiz or vice versa). Touchwiz to touchwiz or AOSP to AOSP works fine.

Ok, yes i read that somewhere, it was poorly explained in the forum i read though, i wasn't sure if there were some sort of modifications to the apk itself that would allow cross-base application or not. I am trying out Foxhound now, which actually has a decent interface with a dark theme, would you happen to know of any theme options for AOSP messaging?
What so good about Sammy stock MMS app that you have to stick with it?
You can try out GOSMS.
Anyway, most of Sammy apps requires their own frameworks in order to function properly.

Not that I know of. On GB, there was at least 1 AOSP application that worked on Samsung (messaging app, coincidentally). It was from CM, I think; idk what made that work while others didn't.
Again, not that I know of. I've always found AOSP apps aesthetically pleasing, so I never looked for other options.

[Q] What is the name of the split screen mod/rom?

I had a rom installed on my Tab which allowed it to run multiple apps at the same time in a kind of split screen mode. (up to 3 apps if i remember correctly). I want to install this rom but totally forgot its name and can't find it anywhere. Does anyone know the name of this rom/mod?
I don't want to hear answers like "Use overskreen"... It was true multitasking with every app supported.

Are you talking about running multiple apps side by side? There aren't any ROMs for ICS or JB that I am aware of that permit this function. I know the new Galaxy Tab Note 10.1 has this functionality and it looks wicked cool!
On the factory-based ROMs for ICS you can use widgets from the Navigation Bar that will overlay email, calendar and notes widgets on top of the app that you are in, but I'm guessing you are talking about something else.

Yes, there really was a ROM which allowes running 3 apps side by side but I don't rember if it was Gingerbread or ICS. I think it was a AOKP based ROM. I had it installed on my tablet and it worked.
Found it. It's name is Onskreen Cornerstone. And the ROM I tested was AOKP based. I think it was a build by Roman the AOKP guy.(http://onskreen.com/cornerstone/index.php)
But I sill haven't found the ROM again.

[Q] What is the most basic ROM out there?

I'm currently using SuperNexus and love it. No bloat, pretty much a raw jelly bean OS. Everything works fine. The only thing I'm missing that I really wish I had, was the notification toggles. The app store has some apps that mimic the feature but none of them work the way I like,
So, can anyone tell me which ROM is as basic as SuperNexus, but with the notification toggles integrated?
Temasek's build
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797109
I will check it out.
I'm sort of confused. A lot of ROMs say they are based off CM10. So is CM10 pretty much the pure Android OS with no extras? I can't find a feature list for CM10.
Yeah its based off AOSP, a lot roms use CM10 as a base depending on what hardware the cm10 was built for
Thanks. I will check out Temaseks in a second.
I am glad I found omega ROM v34, it's a nice try for me & I think I'm gonna stick with it..
Use CM10 for pure android experience. You can install notification toggle mod in your rom too if you only want that feature.
I'm also using SuperNexus too and is a great ROM for a pure stock android experience, I missed the notification toggles too but found this app and it does everything i want and even more check it out is called Notification Toggles

Liquid Smooth ROM

I would suggest SlimBean! It's truly Basic AOSP with the main features needed! I am loving this ROM and no bugs with it at all. Check out their thread. It is one of my favourite ROMs ever, also they update it frequently.

[Q] [REQ] AOSP/AOKP 4.2.2 Keyboard for 4.12 ROM (Please bear with me here...)

I know that this looks like it has been asked a dozen times, but I assure you that I have looked high and low and have installed literally 10 or so keyboards trying to compare features.
Here's what I am looking for (if it's possible):
Looking for a port of the keyboard that comes with AOKP 4.2.2 Milestone 1 or later. I know that there are tons of Jellybean keyboards out there and they even have gesture typing, but the one that comes with AOKP has the long press alternate keys exactly where I want them as well as the right selection.
I have tried the Google Keyboard from the Play Store and it doesn't have the long press alternates (aside for a select few that aren't labled).
Does anyone know how I can get this keyboard to work on my Note II? I have even gone so far as to extract it from an AOKP ROM and it loads fine, however the gesture typing does not work (just shows the gesture trail but doesn't type anything)
Is this at all possible? Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance!

If AOKP is like the other AOSP Roms then the keyboard is the Google keyboard, unless they are using the older AOSP keyboard which is the same thing with a different name. AOKP may just use a different one but I doubt that.
Have you tweaked with the settings in the keyboard once installed to make sure the gesture trail is turned on?
You might get more help in the Themes section seeing how they deal with a lot of keyboards and mods for keyboards.

I tried everything. Gesture trail is turned on. The keyboard version is 4.2.2. Not really sure what else to do. Seems like maybe a lib file is missing or something.
