Hi all,
I am an indie app developer. I don't have a Nexus 10 myself, but I am receiving bug reports from Nexus 10 users for my app. The bug happens only on Nexus 10 and it is a silent crash (there's no exception stack).
I have a hunch about what could be causing it. I have created a small app which tries to reproduce the bug. It uses OpenGL textures to draw some text (the current date).
The apk is attached. Please try it out and let me know if the app indeed crashes. If it does, then that's great in a way; I can submit the app to Google along with a bug report.
thanks!

Thanks! In the meanwhile, I have received feedback from other users (not in xda) that this app doesn't crash on Nexus 10. I need to invent a more complex test case.
I tested it and it didn't crash, screenshot attached.

Thanks! I have now created another test-case, which will hopefully crash. Can you please try the newly attached APK?
I have trimmed the code down, cleaned it up a lot and will soon be releasing this as open-source.

It crashed. Started to show a black screen for a second or so.

Open-sourced
Thanks to all who helped.
I have open-sourced the code for this test case here.
Please star this issue.
As a Nexus 10 owner, starring the issue would help you to get performance and stability on your device. If you are a developer, it will help save time when you write an app (I lost a week in this).

Hi folks,
This is a little module that started out as a PoC but turned into something that I find useful. I use swiping on the Google Keyboard and found that sometimes it would detect words or offer suggestions that I would never type. I had previously used Swype and so not being able to remove suggested words drove me crazy.
This Xposed module adds blacklisting to the Google Keyboard.
Features:
Long-press on suggested words from the keyboard interface
Add words to the blacklist through the module itself
The project is open source, you can view it on GitHub.
I'd prefer bugs/feature requests to go into the GitHub tracker, but if all else fails you can get in touch with me through XDA for support/bugs/feature requests.
There's also a Reddit thread if you're into that.

Found this the same day i was trying to delete words..There is no other way really? I was swyping wrong words everytime
Thanks for you module. Some words still there, and i cant delete by long-press, but its really better now.
Can you explain the problems you're having a little more detailed? When you long-press, you should get a Toast message saying that the word was added. Are you seeing that?
It currently doesn't delete the word that was entered though. Is that what you mean?
What phone/ROM are you on?

Wait a minute... this is suposed to work with N4 only? I tought it was working but i dont think so. all words i black-listed still showing in my suggestions. My way of black-listing was adding through the app itself.
I dont see any toast message when i long-press a suggested word.
Im running Omnirom 4.3 in my S-Advance.
It should work with other phones and Roms, but hooking methods by name and signature is iffy. It could be that a particular ROM has changed the package or class name. It's hard to say.
At this point, I personally have only tried on vanilla 4.4 on a Nexus 4, but I know at least one person has it working fine on Note 2 or 3.
I'll have to add some error handling logic, in the case that something unexpected is encountered. I'll log some bugs on the GitHub that you can track.

Can this work with the android keyboard, not the playstore Google one? At the moment i doesn't appear to work and I could do with removing these American spellings from my keyboard.

I'd like to build in support for multiple keyboards soon. I am working now to fix it for the Google Keyboard first, then I'll look at the Android one.
I have it working again with the latest Google Keyboard. I refactored the code some so in theory it should be a little easier to add support for other versions of the keyboards. I should have a new build up before Monday.

Released now, let me know how it's working!
Hello, any chance to get this module updated ?
Thanks
Introduction:
XDictionary adds a quick dictionary search popup button to text you select. The popup is extremely non-intrusive (similar to iOS), and appears next to the Paste/Replace buttons. It then opens the definition of the selected word.
Now, you don't need to bother with opening your dictionary app, typing in the whole word and hitting search - it's essentially just a one-click procedure.
IMPORTANT: after installing, run the app, and allow it to copy dictionary data to external memory. If the app force closes, delete the folder /xdictionary, and reboot. For a proper install, there should be nine files in /xdictionary/dict - the folder will be around 33 megabytes. If all else fails, you can manually make the folders, and download the files from here.
Limitations:
Currently only works in text input fields where Paste/Replace do show up. Making it global for all text is high priority.
Supports only English. Support for other languages may or may not happen, depends on the response.
Bugs:
May break for certain OEM skins or ROMs with heavily modified UIs.
Occasional force closes when you try to copy dictionary data
Source:
https://github.com/vinit-ivar/XDictionary
Future:
Module has been abandoned, as of now; support for custom UIs and ROMs that modify standard AOSP is unlikely. When and if Xposed is ported to Lollipop, I shall start working on porting the module.
Donate:
If you liked the app, and you're feeling generous, do buy the Google Play version! Developing while going through college can be pretty tiring work, and I like the way this app is going.
Download:
The APK is attached; knock yourselves out!
Changelog:
Code:
1.1.0 - dictionary is now offline.
1.0.0 - added support for Toast (donate) and popup windows.
0.9.0 - initial version.
Great idea man will def try and let you know.

Awesome idea. Support for the dictionary.com app would be the best place to start, IMO (it's the most popular, and their widget is great). Merriam-Webster and Oxford English also have apps. If you figure this out, you could also extend it to search Wikipedia, which would be a fantastic idea too.
I don't know nothin 'bout programming or porting, but something similar to the way those Words with Friends cheat apps have a built-in dictionary search might be something to look in to.
Looks like a great app. Just took the leap and purchased through Google Play because of all the potential features mentioned in the reddit thread.
Upon installation though it does not appear to work?
Perhaps I misunderstood the functionality of this module so could you give me a scenario to try to test? I'm not given the option to define when selecting text in Chrome(address bar), or Hangouts (text input field).
I'm running SlimKat ROM with their gapps.
Not working here either on 4.0.4 stock S3. tested many apps.
Lol. Very nice. And useful. Thank you.

@perseus0807
Thx for the speedy reply.
Probably no need for screen shot. I simply don't get any extra button or text when highlighting text anywhere whether in a input box or on a page etc. But I get my usual copy/paste etc. Let me know how else I can help.
Cheers
@RedBeardT:
Give me 'til tonight, maybe tomorrow, I'll do my best to have a solution or a fix up.
@themadproducer: okay, scratch what I said earlier; that was for another ROM. Can I have a screenshot anyway? Some manufacturers skin the buttons, which may lead to the problems.
Good, will wait for installed dicts support, Thanks!

This isn't working but i really hope it does asap. I'm on xperia u AOSX 4.4.3 pure aosp.
I'm using this module on rooted Stock LG E970. The define button does appear in text selection menu but it's overlapping with the other button (select all) in that menu.
This is not dev's fault at all. LG has modified the system heavily like other OEMs. I'm attaching the screenshot, but if dev needs any other device/ROM specific information like systemui.apk etc, I'll happily provide that.

Thank you for understanding! Actually, there is something ROM specific I do need - the frameworks/base/core/java/android/widget/Editor.java file. I'm not sure if it'll be present in all ROMs, but I'd love it if you had a look.

Yes, it's definitely the best version to run if you want to use it as a daily driver. You should get an update about next week which fixes the screenshot issue.
Regarding the notifications: Yes, there's a real problem with that.
Actually, I submitted patches for that issue some time ago, but nobody has been reviewing them for more than two months. I've almost lost hope that this will ever happen...

@adpar broken on 7.13.1 , pls update!
does it work with Instagram v7.15?
bump for updating the module for v7.16.x
After I published the original mod, Instagram modified their source code so it became a lot harder to get it to work, which would cost me too much of my spare time. However, I noticed today that they added a remove button to the suggestions, so that sort of fixes the problem. I will remove the mod from the Xposed repo in the near future to avoid further confusion.
