[Q] Text Expansion on Android? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm thinking of developing a proper text expansion app for Android, and am wondering if there would be much of a market for this. The app would
- work with any keyboard
- sync with TextExpander/Breevy over Dropbox
- require root access
The only way to get proper text expansion at the moment is to use a specific keyboard, and the keyboards that exist don't offer syncing.
So...would you want this?

Android Text Expand for Bluetooth Keyboards
Hi,
I just found your post, maybe the blueduino hotkeys app is an interesting option for you

There are some text expansion capabilities that are already part of the standard android soft keyboard.
I personnally prefer to use an external keyboard if i seriously want to write something since the soft keyboard
is not a good option.
I wrote an app to have text expansion for android devices, blueduino hotkeys. Its available at the play store.
There is also beta programme at blueduino dot com if you want to try it out, tell me what you think about it! =)

[Q] no Google plus app in the app store?

hi all and thanks for reading. I can't seem to locate ther Google plus app. am I doing something weong

Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA Premium App
thanks! much appreciated.
why can't we see certain apps like this and Netflix on the app store?
If you where able to click the link, and the market displayed the application, then it means you probably overlooked it during your search. As for netflix the new update wouldn't show for me either.

By default, it will not show up because it needs fine-grained GPS.. which the Nook Color does not have.

No, you are not doing anything wrong. Google has chosen to enforce device requirements on the app, so now it won't list from the market on an unsupported device.
Accessing from the web browser, you'll see the following:
"This app is incompatible with your Bn NookColor" Note: if you renamed your device, it may not show the same device name, but it's the same result.
Same with Netflix and other apps you can't get on the device. However, if you'd downloaded the APK before this, you can still see it on your market. However, I've not received any new updates, so either no updates or it won't update if not available for the device in question.

I have G+ on both my Droid X and NC (I just made a backup of the .apk on the DX using "My Backup Pro" and moved it to the NC). I have not seen an update on my DX since 1.0.2, so I don't believe there has been an update in a couple weeks.

[Q] Better Keyboard 8 off of Market..Please help.....

I just received a replacement phone for a defective device. I had better keyboard 8 on the other device. Google has suspended the developers. I have the application and key on my old device. I need some help with getting it on the new device. Both units are stock unrooted tmobile Lg G2x with 2.3.3 Gingerbread.
Can someone help me out?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Sorry, Can't help. But you have helped me to understand why I cant upgrade to an unlocked version of Better Keyboard.
Shame its the best I have found so far!
AndroZIP has a function to export installed APKs to SD or if you're familiar with ADB you can log in and get the files from /data/app/. That is, if you still have the phone... I'm a bit unclear on that from what you're saying in your original post.
Thanks Hans. I used "my backup" and saved app and key to SD card and then put SD into new device. It was very easy.

You can still get better keyboard from the developer. Best keyboard I have found.

Yup, you can still get it. They have it on the Amazon app store website. LINK

Thanks for that info. I took the Better Keyboard 8 info down from my Keyboards page because I thought it was discontinued. Had I known, I would have just relinked to Amazon and SlideMe. Now I need to find a recent apk for it to retake some screenshots again. It was my favorite keyboard for a long time.

Hi, i would like to know if there is any incentive for me to push my third party keyboard to /system/app.
Is it doable and would it net me any benefits?

Don't be afraid to experiment though! With a backup using titanium you can pretty much mess around with it.

[App] Quick-Notes for the S Pen

Hey, everyone. This is Obasi42, creator of Obasi Apps and Quick-Notes for the S Pen. Please don't take this thread as an advertisement for my application. I am simply desperate for your help right now.
As you may know, there is a contest going on right now for the best S Pen applications. I understand that my application isn't nearly good enough to win, but I do want to have a fighting chance out there. So, to anyone who already uses my app, or anyone who is curious to find out more, or anyone who just wants to help: can you please tell me what features you would like implemented in this application?
Here's a link to it in the market (it's free!):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.obasiapps.productivity.quicknotes
Bonus question: I'm also creating a gaming app, so what games would you like created for the S Pen?
The competition ends Tuesday, so, you can see why I'm in a hurry.
Thanks!
I tried it out. It's a good, basic memo app. Here are my criticisms-
I would much prefer this show up as an app. I like to have my search button go directly to vlingo.
It's a bit too basic. The s-pen memo app that comes with the phone does the same thing except you have a lot more color choices.
I'd really like to be able to embed pics and maybe voice notes.
Your app is definitely on to a good start. Good luck with the competition!

Why can't I run your app on my Note? I have it installed but its icon is not with the other apps. When I go into settings, it shows that it is installed, but there is no way for me to launch it.
Weird.

Sorry about that. In the description, it explains that a search button long-press will open up the application.
When you open the app it says it won't be listed in your apps and to long press the search button

I also dont like how s-memo isnt sensitive enough. Id like a quicker response. If you could over come this in your app as far as software is concerned then i applaud you.

Had that issue also. I'm rooted so I installed touchscreentune and it sorted that all out. Samsung needs to come up with a native app that does the same thing.
Amazing work.
However i can't visit the market on my network. Any alternative method to get it?
can you make your app available upon double click with s-button

Here's my take on the search button long press to launch. Some ppl have reassigned the search button. That may affect the operation without an app drawer icon.
Note...where BIGGER is better!
Play store says the app is not compatible with my Note and Captivate. Wth.
Running stock ICS btw.

This is not a very popular device, I wouldn't expect a root unless kingroot does.

Have you tried rooting methods on the internet for Lollipop 5.1.1? It should be out there somewhere, not sure about a different recovery
Love this beast but it seems not a popular one?? Any update on rooting?
Love to root so that more apps can be used in split screen/floating mode.

Why didn't Samsung add "portrait mode". I didn't even know it was possible not to have it, I haven't heard of any other device. SAMSUNG! FIX YOUR MISTAKE.

Still no news on rooting? I am really enjoying this unit, just want to add more apps to run split / multi window.
Just wondering if this can be done without rooting?
You can add apps to multi window without the need of root access. You just won't be able to update them through Google Play

No update via Google Play is fine. Would you post the instruction or where I can find the how to do it?

You can add any app to floating window and multi window using an app called MW-Pen App Enabler

It works on my Galaxy S6 edge+ Yeah, I'll give it a try soon and report back if it works on Galaxy View.
