[SOLVED] Phone app number layout in GinTonic.SE - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

I'm running GinTonic.SE v2.5.1 on my X10 mini pro, which is great. The number dial pad in the Phone app has a broken layout though - dial keys are cut off.
How can I fix this?

Here's a screenshot to illustrate the problem.

Same here. I think that's related to the resize of the phone.apk to show (part of) the autocomplete (smart dialer) feature...

I tried replacing Phone.apk with the one from the Flame.E ROM (which is not having the layout problem), but no improvement...
What else could I try?
(What is the smart dialer autocomplete btw?)

Are you sure that replacing phone.apk succeded? I think this is not something you can simply substitute...

It's an autocomplete feature that works like T9 for SMS messages: you type (part of) the contact name on the phone keyboard, and the dialer finds that for you... but you can see it (very small) between the dial pad and the numbers at the top...

Pretty sure. I replaced Phone.apk and removed Phone.odex in the original zip and reinstalled from scratch, to avoid problems with r/o file systems, files in use etc.

Ah, now I see it - thanks, I had no clue about this!
Not very useful at that size though.

The size is a "known" issue... if you look at the first post (by slade):
smart dialer added (but layout switch not yet working 100% so you only see top of it, working on it though)

Click to collapse
Sadly, no more updates since then, we'll have to wait
next update will include resized smart dialer ...

Click to collapse

Finally looking in the right place, I found a solution for the broken layout. There's a GinTonic setting to disable smart dialer, which in turn corrects the layout in the phone app
Just unselect:
Code:
Settings > CyanogenMod settings > GinTonic settings > Smart dialer

again, you don't put swype on a keyboard. swype is its own independent keyboard. either you have it installed or not. if it is installed (came with your rom) you can choose it like you choose any of the other keyboards.
top and bottom? again i don't understand how best to help - you need to answer my questions i asked above (they are asked for very specific reasons). also a picture of what you are talking about will help.

[Q] ICS build task650-aokp-build-35 question about speed dial

I just changed over to task650-aokp-build-35 and in the process of setting everything up again. I can not find a feature to designate phone numbers for speed dialing. Can someone point me in the right direction? Other than that, the ICS build is awesome.
Thanks,
Jim
First, update to build 37.
Open up the phone and hit menu, settings, speeddial.
Thanks. I'm a noob so one question. Can I just do an update or do I have to wipe and flash again?

Im not on latest either, and do not have the option. and have no clue, other than what red said, if its even in the ROM.
but if you didnt do a full wipe, then some features might be missing.
The stock AOKP dialer does not support speed dial. You can however set favorites. If you need speed dial just download a different dialer from the market that supports it.

I went with xDialer from the market. It seems to have what I am looking for. Now, if I can only find a way to reassign the stock dialer button to run it I will be happy.

If the icon is all you want - download a Go Launcher EX ICS theme. And assuming you are using Nova launcher that comes with AOKP (if you are not you should, it is awesome). Press and hold the dialer icon of you new dialer app - and replace the icon of your new dialer with one from the ICS theme icon pack from Go Launcher.
It sound like a PITA but it really isn't. I did the same thing cause I do not like the GMail icon for I did the above steps and replaced it with the stock email icon.
I just found a way to do what I wanted. Part of ICS is guess.
1. Place shortcut to app on home screen
2. press and hold shortcut until it can be moved.
3. drag and drop on top of phone icon.
(this creates a toolbar with both apps)
4. tap toolbar to show both icons
5. press and hold stock dialer icon until it can be moved.
6. drag icon to delete area.
(this leaves only the dialer icon in place of the stock dialer icon)
Cool stuff. I am liking ICS better and better.

Does this have anything to do with your original question, the speed dial?
I've tried to visualize your 6 steps above and can't imagine how that accomplish what you want.
The original question of how to get speed dial is answered by replacing the stock dialer with one from the market. The last part is replacing the stock dialer shortcut with the shortcut to the replacement dialer.

there is a much easier way of replacing that.
remove one. replace with another. no need to make a folder with both apps, and then remove one. This has nothing to do with ICS, just the launcher. and that feature has been around for years.
Play around with android, its pretty cool.

Thumbs up.
This exactly what I had in mind, but I thought OP made 6-step speed-dial working. If just for placing the icon (new app) on the home scree, it could be done in 2 steps, one remove the stock, two, place the new one on the home screen.

[Q] CM10 mms + Swype = no return key

I'm on CM10 (9/19 build) and using Swype as my default keyboard. I love the quick reply option for texts, however, the stock mms.apk causes the return key to be the emoticon shortcut and I am not a big fan of that. I've searched all over and, so far, have only found the following solutions:
- install a modified mms.apk which gives me a return key, but causes me to lose the quick reply option.
- install a modified latinIME.apk which gives me a return key on the stock keyboard, but not on Swype.
- make a template that inserts a new line (with a character on the new line, since templates can't be blank) which seems like a lazy workaround.
Is there any way I can get the best of both worlds here, with quick reply and a Swype return key?

smiley for a return is really retarded. how did they ever come up with this. so where do i find a modded mms.apk? or i have to compile one?
i went to look for a pre-existing mms.apk on my phone, but didn't find one. thought it should be \system\apps\ - it's not. where then.
is mms.apk specific to CM flavor, or the phone model, or what?
In MMS hit menu, go to Settings. Then at the very bottom. Soft keyboard type ->show enter key....
is the soft keyboard setting from Mms.APK system wide?

i don't have this option - maybe it's only on ICS? i'm on gingerbread cm7.2. but also - do we think that this will affect messaging apps system wide? namely - i'm not using the stock sms app, but go-SMS, which does give me an enter key. my need for enter-key is primarily in weixin/wechat.
cheers.
Found Enter Key !!
Guys I have found easy way in ICS & JB may work in KK as well (Not yet checked)
Just hit and hold Shift key [look like up arrow] You will see ENTER instead of SMILEY. :good:
Don't Forget to say thanks if it works !!!
i stopped fiddling with swype a long time ago - semc was the answer
i had updated my ROM to something based on the stock ROM, and the sony ericsson stock app is swype-like, WITH an enter key and multi-language selections, so i could stop fiddling with swype, who were hostile to user-requests, and wasting everyone's time with their licensing.
semc_intl_keyboard_textinput-tng.apk
this is from xperia ray st18i, modded stock gingerbread. i haven't tried it on anything else, but suspect it might work on any/most androids.
hope this saves someone some time wasted with swype.
cheers.

[MOD] Disable SwiftKey Prediction

This module permanently disables prediction/autocomplete/completion bar within SwiftKey keyboard.
Future versions/updates of SwiftKey might break this mod. Tested working agains versions 5.0.1.87, 5.0.2.4, 5.0.3.26, and 5.0.4.93. EDIT: No longer true as of v0.2 which should be futureproof.
Disable SwiftKey Prediction is available from Xposed Module Repository (source).
It also disables flow. Is that suppose to happen?

It is because whole prediction is disabled and flow depends on it. Solution for using flow would be only hiding the bar (while prediction/completion would still work) but I have no real intention for this as I don't use it and to get rid of all prediction effects, disabling it fully is still required. Maybe Suggestions Toggle would work better for you (but I don't use flow so I don't know...).
@moneytoo thanks for the mod. Now its perfect.
Anyway to make long press space to toggle keyboards like Google stock keyboard?
I'm just curious but why did you want to create this mod? Prediction is the main attraction of SwiftKey. I mean, otherwise I would use any other keyboard. Just wondering and no offense meant.

I want a nice looking black/dark keyboard (the stock one on my S5 is light). My primary language is Czech which (thanks to Czech declension) can never work as good as in English. I do not write texts anyway - I use it mainly for entering urls in browser so I prefer not to waste screen space as I want to see more search suggestions in browsers (or addresses history) etc.
I hate to be one of those people that asks irrelevant things in a thread, but since you are familiar with the inner workings of the Swiftke.apk, I figured you might be able and willing to help. The one thing I dislike about swiftkey is the auto-space feature that it has. Meaning after you type in a word, it automatically adds a space after. This is a huge pain in the butt when it comes to entering passwords and usernames. Do you know what file(s) in the apk would be responsible for this behavior? I could probably figure out how to change it, I just don't know where to look.

i thought the same when i saw this thread. that is pretty much the whole point of the keyboard (and flow for rapid typing), unless you only use it swiftkey for colorful themes lol, there are far better keyboards than swiftekey if you're only interested in themes. IMO
but you can disable the annoying automatic word correcting as i mention below (which is an annoying) while still keeping the prediction bar (which is very good just to use as spell checker too).

that only happens (i think) if you have "complete the current word" or "always insert a prediction" selected in settings >advanced>spacebar completion mode. i have mine at "always insert a space" and ironically it doesn't insert a space only when you select a word from the prediction bar.
you can keep the prediction bar enabled and stop auto prediction and adding a space (where words are automatically corrected in input field you didn't want) by selecting the option i mentioned above.

For 1 whole year I regularly contacted Swiftkey and asked to fix this they never fixed it, issue is Swiftkey is taking COPIED text as TYPED text. It should take typed words only (this is big reason behind inaccurate/unneeded word prediction). Could you do something about it?
Below is the email i wrote to Swiftkey:
There is one ANNOYING feature I found in Swiftkey. I checked this twice thrice and informing you. The problem is: Saving the words what we type is good but BAD/WORST part is, it also saves the words when you just copy text from other sources for example: Copying random text or paragraph from webpages, Ebooks and Documents. Those text are NOT TYPED by the user and those words get copied to internal dictionary of Swiftkey which I don't like to be predicted while I type. I copy some stuff from webpages to read it later but it doesn't mean that I like all the words in that copied text and it should not add in internal dictionary of swiftkey. Please fix this ASAP.
P.S. I have English and Hindi language packs installed. Experiment yourself. Just copy the below words in text file and save it. I would never use the below words ever. While typing, long press on the below words and hit 'Do not predict again'. It will not predict. But when you open the text file you saved and select and copy those words, they will simply added to the dictionary of Swiftkey and you'll see them come across while you type.
Words:

i always wanted to use Swiftkey because it looks good, but i hated the fact you can't turn prediction off. THANK YOU.
there is one minor bug though. the keyboard size gets messed up after changing the screen rotation. it ends up being either too tall or too short?
using it on stock-ish Note 3.

tnx, i hope you can fix it
I thought it was the obfuscated method name but it is still the same. Seems like this was caused by later versions of SwiftKey - my two months old version is ok. So it's either waiting whatever new version will fix that or go through changes within apk and attempt to fix "their" bug. I will probably try in the next few days but no promise - it's really low priority for me.
thanx
thank you so much, i hated that bar. Finally. I don't know why they don't offer that option. They have that option in ios. It makes me angry how unthoughtful people are.
Swift Keyboard Rotation Bug
I absolutely love this mod mixed with the fact that you can change the size of keyboard. Both of these combined allow me to go landscape and still be able to see conversation while typing. Same bug though when I rotate it resizes to all sorts of weirdness. Would be like the greatest thing ever if you could fix. I know you said low priority but I would soooo donate if u could figure out.
This Mod disables "Quick Period with double tap spacebar" as well. I reckon that is not supposed to happen.
not working on 5.1.0.60
this mod doesn't work for me anymore on the new version 5.1.0.60
Great fix but unfortunately doesn't seem to work on latest version of SwiftKey, tried to downgrade to 5.0.5.95 but can't install previous version somehow .. Waiting for some update mate

There is been a change in the new API that broke a small part of the keyboard. I fixed it in the new version.
Well, I tested it now,
And it works mostly, I already forgot how actually T9 was fast, for a smartwatch it makes more sense than qwerty I think...
But there's 1 bug I guess, when something is typed already, the Globe icon supposed to turn into a delete icon and act like it, but what happens is that the delete works but it stays as a globe icon.
Another bug is (I think it happens now on English as well) the button to switch to numbers/symbols, it works but the actual view stays on the letters.
And on Hebrew, there are no big or small letters, so the button where it supposed to switch it, acts as inputting of something that I'm not sure what it is lol.
Another feature request (maybe it's not possible) add a microphone button for speach to text for the current language (I'm still hoping to be able to dictate on Hebrew to the watch)
But overall, it works great!! I can't even tell you how happy I am for this! thank you!!!
