Hi all, some time ago i switched using search site google , and am using duckduckgo.com
for several reasons that i am not going into now, but if you need to know you can read on:

i am now happy to be able to use a native app from duckduckgo, that i found on the market, however the android builtin browser still doesn't give me any option to choose from another search engine then only the searchengines programed into the browser.apk
some guy has found a trick and rebuild the browser app,
and added DDG to the search-engines list.

is anyone here savvy enough to do the same for a DEFY+ BL7
(Defy+ 4.5.1-134_DFP-231) rooted phone.
meaning: rebuilding the browser app, with duckduckgo added as default search engine option... ?
specifically for this rom supplied at this thread:

thanks for any help.

[Q] SVOX or other Text-to-Speech

Has anyone had any luck with changing the TTS engine on their nook color? The new version of ezpdf has a TTS option but it uses the stock pico engine and is difficult (at best) to listen to. I am wondering if anyone has tried SVOX? I currently can't find the settings to change any TTS settings.
I have tried the extended TTS app with no luck (atleast not with ezpdf, haven't tried any other apps).
Let me know if anyone has had any luck, if not I will give it a try myself and report back.
I am glad you asked this question as I am curious as well..
I saw the feature also in EZPDF and wanted to try it but it did not work.

[Q] Text to speech not supported by stock rom?

Hi all,
I am developping an app using the text to speech library of Android, and even though it works under the emulator, it does not work on my Folio.
I even tested with the tutorials and google samples, but it makes the same...
this makes me wondering if the stock ROM supports this lib...
Has any one seen this? Do I have to go on an alternate rom?
thanks !
Stef!

[Q] Keyboard, google search and facebook

hi, im new to this forum
i bought the galaxy ace with a mexican mobile operator called "telcel" but i don't have 2 things in this phone....
im using default froyo 2.2.1 and im root
i would like to know where to get them...
1.- Default Froyo Keyboard
i only have samsung and swype keyboards, i know there are a lot of keyboards in the market, including the gingerbread one but its kinda buggy sometimes... i really want the default froyo keyboard
2.- Google Search
i have a "Search" widget.. but i can't get it to work with google... it uses z.telcel.mobi as search engine... even if i install the google search widget it uses z.telcel.mobi as search engine
3.- Facebook
i need an app with working notifications... the oficial facebook app doesn't shows me any notifications (only shows me some with manual update)
On 1. You can use "Smart Keyboard" from Android Market. It supports styles like
a) Iphone b) GB c) Froyo/Android etc. Its a best alternate for getting Froyo Keyboard on ur device.
On 2. and 3. I don't have much idea mate.

[Q] Speech/Voice input

Hi,
I am using CM7.1 B^N version and i want to use speech to text service of google, which usually show up when i press the mic icon in the keyboard. now the thing is i see no mic icon in the keyboard and i dont know how to enable it and if i try to download and use iris from the market it says no voice input service found and stuff like that.
i did the search and found that i need https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.voicesearch to work on my mobile but when i try to install it it says (This app is incompatible with your Motorola MB860).
Any suggestion what to do ?
EDIT: i have found why i was unable to download it cos it is the part of gapps and i have skipped or installed small version of apps and that dont have it. just extracted the apk from full version gapps and now its working just fine.
Try downloading a keyboard from the Android Market. There are many good free ones. This should solve your problem if the keyboard you download has the speech recognition key on it. If not, download other keyboards which do have it (look at the photos of the keyboards before downloading).
If this solves your problem, don't forget to leave a thanks.

[Q] Google Search, older version?

Hi Everyone,
I want to find an older (or modded) version of Google Search app (apk),
The phone is a Jiayu G3 QCT, Android 4.2.1
My default Google Search app (2.6.7.721924.arm) always does a web search, even if I only mark apps, contacts, music and files. Web search cannot be unmarked, only History and Bookmarks. For example, in a very old version (1.1.2.64376, gingerbread) web search can be entirely unmarked. I tried to find a changelog, or a version history of this app but I found nothing.
Is there a previous version that can be forced to search on the device only, without even showing web results?
For Web search, I already use the android browser.
If possible, I'd like to retain the offline voice search functionality (Seems to be included in the search app)
I don't need Google Now, I don't care if it's included or not.
I'd appreciate any help you can provide.
I had one on my froyo stock rom...but i deleted it. You can try to search it on Google or an alternative market
Inviato dal mio LG-P350f

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I suppose I could try a different search app without replacing the Google one, so I don't lose any other features. Thanks anyway. :good:
