Just got AOKP build 4/21 and I love it so far. I'm a little curious if the messaging application can be customized? I like it, but it's a little too dark for my tastes. Is there a way to change the background? Also, Can I remove the picture icon from the chat? Finally, is there a way to remove vibration for keyboard strokes? I like it for the shortcuts and menu presses but don't like it when I am typing on the keyboard. Thanks!

I believe the answer is no for most of your questions but the keyboard vibrations is found in the settings of whatever your keyboard is using

go to settings, then Language and Input, then click on the settings icon next to the Android Keyboard, or Google keyboard. Should see it.

I tried googling but my google fu may be weak. I can't find any setting anywhere to turn off the graphical smiley faces in the Blur messaging app. Is my only choice to use a different messaging app? I'd rather not, because I prefer the stock Blur messaging app to Go (which was my favoured app on CM7). Is there any way of removing the smileys through some kind of secret settings file somewhere?
Seriously, they look ridiculous. I can't even tell what they are.

Agreed! Somebody definitely dropped the ball when they included those dumb looking smiles. I also would like to know a way to get the old graphical ones back. I'm using Handcent and they are the same so I doubt changing sms apps will do anything anyways.
Is it possible to use the Swiftkey keyboard and us Google voice to text at the same time. I like the Swiftkey word correction and keyboard style but I personally. Hate its voice to text
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
not related to swiftkey and google voice, but swype with dragon go is pretty sweet.
Only solution I've found when using an alternative keyboard is to pull down the notification when in a text input area. You should see a keyboard icon and "Select Input Method" in the Notifications.
This only lets you select the Google Voice Typing for that one instance.
I don't understand why the alternative keyboards don't allow you to select the default voice input, but it is what it is...
There's gotta be a better way but I'm having the same problem too. I love swiftkey but hate its voice to text. I've been looking for this for a couple days and posted on Android Central a out it but nothing so far. I'll come back if I find something.
Has anyone found a fix to this? I would also like to know the solution. I enjoy SwiftKey's keyboard, however, I prefer the voice-to-text feature found on Android's default keyboard...
You may want to check out AI type Keyboard Plus (similar to Swiftkey keyboard) as it uses the ICS voice to text feature as default
Do you use that? And if so have you used swiftkey 3?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Yes I use both and honestly I think the AI plus keyboard is just as good as Swiftkey. The one thing I really like about it is that the predictions bar works in almost every app, unlike Swiftkey, which only works ,at least for me, in certain apps.
There is a free version if you want to try it out
Cool I'm gonna try it out tonight. I live swiftkey but I want to use the vtt more and doing like theirs. Google definitely made theirs much better on ics.

Vote here and they will hopefully integrate voice typing from ICS/JB
Hey there guys, I have been on the hunt for the Best Android Keyboad, and I wanted to see what everyone here was using?? I have tried stock, predictive, and the slide type, (I have not had the chance to play with any of the other 3rd party keyboards, with all sorts of different technology's.
So, I was wondering if some of you fellow xda-ers wanted to weight in on this, and help guide me on my adventure??
Thanks in advance :cool

swype for normal language but my most preferred is hackers keyboard. latter has a full keyboard like on pc when in landscape mode. pretty awesome on big screens like galaxy note. also almost every keyboard has the stupid white text entry over the entire remaining screen where there is not the keyboard, which hides my chat windows away and makes landscape a pain. hackers keyboard does not do such. you have keyboard and chatlog.
I like Android 4.2's stock keyboard. It has everything you need. Predictive text, spell-checking, gesture typing, multiple finger gesture typing. I use English Azerty, and it is just great for me!
Swype, until I get 4.2
MultiLink keyboard :thumbup:

Swype, although the 4.2 keyboard's implementation of this looks nice. I also like Hacker's Keyboard on my tablet which is just a PC looking keyboard layout. If they could implement a Swype functionality with it then it would be my favorite.
Swiftkey 3 is my Favourite.
Simply because
1)It is more intuitive than the rest, thus producing more CORRECT Auto Correction
2)It learns your way of typing and in real time monitors all that you type and maintains your individual statistics
3)It individually Learns from your fb,sms,email and twitter threads.
4)It also provides a good number of visual customization options
Thus overall it proves to be the best package

Thanx guys for the input, and all the great info I find ShayonX, IMO, as to swiftkey 3, and as far as "prediction boards", go I think there is no better. I was actually going to go with swiftkey 3, but I just found it was lacking on skins, and customization. I like to be able 2 change the size, and width of my characters, (due to wide fingers), and skins are a great Addition
I tried Swift key 3, touchpal keyboard, go keyboard, and perfect keyboard, and ended up going with "perfect keyboard, bcuz the customization is very deatailed. I also tried swype style keyboard, but I found predictive to be the style for me.
I am running the Moto Phonton, so I won't be getting the 4.0 or 4.2 update, so is there anything else out there to look @??

Have the ability to display the on screen buttons like on the GNexus?
Just came from a SGS3, was very happy with my PA CM rom.
On the Note II, the CM roms Ive tried with this ability are just too full of annoying bugs, and it feels laggy often. TW seemed very smooth and didnt encounter any problems, besides the lack of options. I absolutely loathe using the physical home button on the Note2 and SGS3 though.

Absolutely you can do it on any TW ROM. All you have to do is add one line into your build.prop and reboot. Search for "on screen nav bar mod". Edit: here is a link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1808882
However, I really suggest checking out LMT launcher: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18993800. I always liked the on screen nav buttons, because I had instant access to the home/back/recents from any screen, even if I had my S Pen out, and loved it even more on AOKP because I could add custom shortcuts for my "dock" apps and Kill App options. LMT implements all of this but allows you to access it off-screen, so it doesn't take up any screen real estate. And it's a damn sexy interface, people are always impressed when they see me pop it up!

Hey guys
I was just wondering if there was any way to make the lockscreen widgets show more information without swiping down to show it?
I'm using 200dpi so it is quite a bit less than stock...
I used DashClock and saw that it was the same thing as CM's cLock...
For instance, if you have 2-3 calender events, some of them will be cut off until you swipe down to unlock the widget. Is there any way to make the "viewing" part bigger so that I don't have to open the widget every time? It drives me nuts...I just want to turn on my phone and see the information there, not have to swipe open again...
Thanks guys,
Elliott
Bump...anyone?
Bumpity bump!

I don't know what you're using to change DPI (Xposed mod, or paranoid preference). If it's paranoid preferences, try this:
In paranoid preferences, go tools, select expert mode.
Then in per app settings, you'll have the option to 'force' or 'large'. Try playing around with these, possibly for dashclock, systemui or Androidsystem. I don't know if this will help, as I don't use an overall lower dpi, only for some apps.
Apologies if that doesn't help your situation at all.

Thanks for trying but I'm using ROM Toolbox to change the DPI...running CM10.1.
