Hi All Remix OS users,
Just like to ask if is it me only that I encounter too much sensitivity using mouse scroll on apps like Facebook and Google Chrome? I'm not sure if its just my mouse or is it Remix OS bug. I understand that Remix is on Beta version now. Just like to know if its just my issue or others also encounters the same?
Thanks!
I get that too
It seems that the pointer is too sensitive and I would like it to be less sensitive, because I can't focus it on small things.

I have noticed that mouse cursor movement isnt that smooth.
Has anyone noticed that the cursor jitters like its had too much sugar?
I'm using a Dell Lattitude E5430, but most laptop's that I've run ROS on, the issue seems to not go away unless you use a physical mouse. It doesnt jitter when not using the trackpad, but as soon as you go to move it around and or move it and hold your finger in a spot, it jillers like crazy. Changing the sensitivity doesnt fix the issue. Also, scrolling is extremely sensitive in regards to differentiating a scroll and a zoom gesture. Also, how do we change DPI? Everything is MASSIVE on the laptop I'm using.
HI .
Maybe it is too late but I know how to reduce the mouse sensitivity,
simple go to the setting
choose 'language and input'
scrool to the bottom
and choose ' pointer speed'
good luck

This has never been tested on a Tegra 3 device, so I would appreciate some feedback here - is it working!?
Anything to report?
Where can we use it for?
Eh? Im not sure i understand...
Just installed it, amazing app, i was actually looking for something like this yesterday! I wanted a way to lock my screen while watching movies so I wouldn't exit fullscreen mode accidentally.
Thanks!

Downloading now. I imagine this ould be used to block palm detection for drawing like on Sketchbook Pro and the sort. I'll edit this after a review. Thanks for the opportunity.
What? Palm detection? I think it will only work on a few devices...
I wish I could use this for the soft keys on the navigation bar. It would really help cause I'm left handed (I keep hitting the back/home keys by mistake when I'm writing on my Prime).

OK after using it today, i found it pretty straightforward and simple to use.
Found only one small bug,when playing a video, on YouTube, stock player or whatever, if you touch the screen the on-screen controls jump on, you cannot press them, but the UI do popup.
And one suggestion, the resizeable square where you select the zone to be blocked from touches should have at least a small pad or something to drag it. Once the square reaches the borders it gets really hard to pick again.

On the latest ICS update. Go to settings/ASUS customized settings/system bar lock/enable system bar lock. Now you won't hit the home key or any softkey buttons.

I don't think it can be used for that. You could use TouchScreenTune app, paid version can handle palm detection on our device.
This app is for blocking areas of the screen.

Is there a way to keep the keyboard from popping up (temporarily)? So I want to keep the keyboard from showing on a certain website.
Here's the deal: on a website I like to visit there is a small animation and a place to type in your response. The keyboard pops up and covers the animation. I actually don't care about typing my response - I just want to see the animation. Thanks

Not exactly the answer you are looking for ... but you can close the keyboard by pressing the back key once.
--L.
One way you could do it is to download Smart Keyboard Pro and go to Settings --> Advanced Settings --> Hide in Portrait.

TouchPal keyboard has that. When it pops up, there's an arrow pointing down on the right side and it'll disappear. swiftkey has that feature too .

The thing is that the keyboard doesn't disappear quick enough before the animation starts and it is a quick animation so I miss the beginning. In case you are wondering what the heck I am doing... I am learning ASL fingerspelling. A hand spells letters of a word at different speeds for practice so if I miss the first letter, I miss the word.
Thanks for all your help everyone!

My suggestion will do it instantly. I know there's a free trial version of Smart Keyboard on the Play Store...try that one and see if it has that feature.

No problem.
The Build is quite stable but i'm facing a peculiar problem of keyboard taking time to load, and after each alphabet entered the keyboard disappears and would take a few seconds to come back on screen.

I found a workaround, disable all the functions that make show the bar over the keyboard, this solve the problem.
I don't know wich one make the stragne think, we must try one at time to check...

I was facing the same problem, but the 12/08 updzte fixed this issue, the closing screen issue is also solved
I had the same problem with even the latest update 20130123. Jeez it was anoyin! But after reding scionns workaround, it works like a charm. A proper fix for this issue on then other hand would be prefered - someone might wanna use all the options that had to be shut off to work.

go to settings -> language & input then click on settings icon next to Android Keyboard (AOSP)
under text correction, set 'auto-correction' to 'off' and set 'show correction options' to 'always hide'.
Worked like a charm!

I am having this keyboard issue and have tried the workarounds and resets, rebuilds, formatting and starting again but nothing works.
However I only started getting the problem a few nightly builds ago. I am currently on 10.1-20130901-NIGHTLY-p4.
I have gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip also installed.
Also a question for the OP, how have you managed to get your Tab in Tablet UI mode? This is something else I have failed to achieve with my P7500.

At least on the cm 10.2 roms the option to enable Tablet UI is under Settings -> Display -> Statusbar(?). I am not 100% sure about the Statusbar, it might be a different option but it was somewhere in there.
I fixed the issue without disabling any features. Just went to android keyboard settings -> add-on dictionaries
There I uninstalled English, clicked on refresh and installed English (US) (it doesnt appear without clicking refresh on right upper corner)
I hope it gets fixed soon
Excellent fix - Works well
The keyboard works well with the workaround of turning off the Auto-correction and the hide show keyboard features. It makes the onscreen keyboard usable with v4.2.2 on a tab 10.1.
TY, but...
Thanks, turned off auto correction. However I'd like to use auto correction so does anyone know of a working fix? I use English UK, but will use English US if have to.
The other night I went to my son-in-laws house, and he was having this issue with his tab 10.1, I installed swiftkey trial keyboard and it works well. This has to be a bug in the rom software that is NOT fixed. BTW, he has a wifi version, p7510 I think. I will subscribe to follow any further info.
OK, using hyper drive latest ROM. When going into settings and trying to switch default keyboard, it will not let me change it to anything other than the default Google keyboard even though I have swift key, kii, fleksy all checked. When it brings up the list of choices, I hit the dot to select a different keyboard and it immediately defaults to Google and won't allow any other choice. Anyone had any issues changing keyboards?
nevermind figured it out

It would be helpful to the community if you posted the corrective action, just in case someone else with a similar issue comes across this thread.

Hi!
I'm a new user and I'm very disapointed by touchpad behaviour.
Using a mouse, no problem, I can draw or drag and drop files by keeping left button pressed like under any other OS.
But with touchpad, both buttons seem acting as a simple click even if they are kept pressed.
Nevertheless, I found a button that works as expected(?) : the touchpad itself !
Indeed, the whole touchpad of my Lenovo X121e is a button itself; if I press strongly the sensitive surface, it clicks... and stays pressed for RemixOS too.
But it's unusable, it requires too much pressure to permit smooth and precise moves.
So, my question is : is it the "normal" behaviour of touchpad or a mapping bug due to extra buttons of my laptop ?
Thank you in advance,
Regards,
Ed
@ed38220
On my Asus T100TA touchpad works just like in Windows - click with the buttons or double tap to click and hold. I think this should be the default behaviour.
Did you try double tap in order to click and hold?
Anyway, it seems like your touchpad is not supported.
I don't remember if Remix didn't have some touchpad options in the settings. Anyway, I'll check that soon.

Thanks Vioner,
I have tried to change "Enable Trackpad" (on/off) with no success.
It seems double tap works for moving icons or windows on desktop but not for moving files accross file manager windows.
But I just discovered left button works as expected when I use trackpoint instead of touchpad...
