If you downloaded it and it did not work, try again. I had the wrong file uploaded.

how to install?

Just like any other apk. Then enable it in settings.

Great, Thanks. Am I the only one who can't see written text until I highlight it?

Am I the only one that sees nothing but text?
Edit,,,, sorry was at work and it restricted the content

You might not be familiar with the concept of how to use it. There is a tutorial on on that. I have not had any problems.
EDIT: Actually, there is a problem. When I search in the market using this keyboard it occupies the entire screen and I can't see what I'm typing

So this might be the issue I was trying to report. It does so in google search, browser, root explorer... Didn't try it in other apps

It seems like it doesn't interpret fields correctly. Typing a document is no problem (QuickOffice HD). Maybe it's best to switch to the android keyboard for that anyway since it will only be a few words to type.
EDIT: After playing with it for a few days I am disappointed. In landscape mode the entire screen is filled with an empty field and I can't see what I'm typing. It's only useful in portrait mode, really Nice concept but definitely needs more work! Maybe even make the entire keyboard smaller in landscape so you don't have to slide so much. Just my 2cents.

I have tried to change the text from white to black so it shows in the field, but i have had no luck. If anyone wants to take a crack at, be my guest. It would be sweet. Right now this keyboard is only useful on the web.

for some reason slide-it keyboard started having a similar problem after the last update. While in landscape the text would be white on a white background and thus for all intents and purposes, invisible.
in slide-it though you can now disable full screen in landscape and enter text directly into your intended field instead of a white window.
Anyway I wonder if this has something to do with honeycomb or why it happened to both these keyboards at the same time? hmm

[Q] Change app when plugged in

I want to know if it is possible to automatically start the digital frame app when a charger is plugged in.
Any one know how to do this?

You could probably listen for the plugged in or charging event and have a intent filter that launches the digital frame. I can try this evening if you'd like.

Update yes create a broadcast receiver that listens to the android.intent.action.ACTION.POWER_CONNECTED

Ok here is an app that will launch digital frame. install & runn app - tick the box to set it load digital frame on power connected.
Sorry about the icon - in 5 minutes i wasn't going to make you a pretty one.

Sorry to ask but is there any way to change the App?
For viewing photo's I use the much better free App 'Photo Slides' (Photo Frame) by Softick Ltd. available on The Market.
Thanks left for what you have already given.

Fantastic app, works well and means I can just put it in the dock and use it as a clock / calendar

Probably
If I get time I will take a look tonight
Edit- yes it looks like I can just target softtick.android.photoframe/Photoframe
Why do they need permission to phone identity? Or network access if they don't even have adds?

No idea... I missed that.
It would be a shame though as Photo Slides [Photo Frame] has much more to offer than the stock Digital Frame.
I personally like the Clock that appears on screen which you can control colour & size whilst having your slide show.

Ok beards here is a new version and you can switch between Digital Frame and PhotoFrame. I added an "other" with a text field so now you can launch any application on power plugin so if you find someother one you like better you can launch it instead.
To use "other" You will need to know the activity that gets called when the target app loads as examples (although I hard coded these two for you)
digiframe is com.sec.android.app.digitalframe/.DigitalFrame
photoframe is softick.android.photoframe/.PhotoFrame
you can typically figure out the target by viewing logcat during or immediately after launching what you would like to target. easier to find target if you filter for tags "ActivityManager"
I also made a cheezy icon for y'all.

Thanks jkhouw1, so much appreciated and thanks given.
I've noted your comments to remind me should as you say I change to something different at a later date.

Virtual Tour Shot Camera Mode

Anyone have any idea how to use this? When I select this mode, I get the pop up window that explains what it is and the message at the bottom to align the circle with the pointer, but the screen shows a blue dot inside the white circle no matter where I'm pointing, which orientation I'm holding the phone and there's no option to activate the camera....it's grayed out, and the settings are for the video only. I can tap on the video button, but then it just records video.
Anyone have any idea how to actually use this mode?

Follow the information on the screen. It'll tell you what to do. The dot will be your focal point and the Circle will eventually pop up. You'll need to go either left or right or straight.

The circle doesn't do anything. I have it pointing down a hall way and nothing happens. ..

once you start panning or moving forward a new circle shows up, you just match the dot to the new circle, very simple

Is it supposed to automatically just detect the "scene" and start? Are there some other settings that, when activated, disable this functionality? Do you have to activate the first shot by hitting the camera button (because if so, mine doesn't let me tap on it).

I swear I tried that! I started walking down the hallway, and there are doors visible that are open along the hallway, and NOTHING happens... :crying::crying::crying: I WANT THIS FEATURE TO WORK! LOL

Ok, after 30 mins with Samsung tech support and then booting up into Safe Mode, we determined that there's some 3rd party app that may be inhibiting the VT Shot function, because it DID work in Safe Mode. I even uninstalled the google camera app.....Although that didn't seem to be the issue.....with this in mind, and knowing that this phone is not rooted, what's the best approach to help identify which app could be the culprit here? I don't want to wholesale factory reset and slowly add one app at a time....any ideas?

SOLVED! I FIGURED OUT THE CULPRIT! On my old S4, I was using the app "Moves" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.protogeo.moves) which was a Pedometer app. But now that S Health is so integrated with the phone, I actually don't need it, so when I removed it, Virtual Tour Shot cam mode started working. Makes sense that the app would interfere with the motion sensor.....

i bet you feel soooooooo relieved. its one of the best feelings in the world to go through meticulous trial and error and finally find the problem. congrats i really know how you feel haha

For sure! Especially because this is my first Android device which I have NOT rooted (victim of circumstance, not elective), so I knew it wasn't because of some weird rooted circumventing process. On the plus side, with s health's built-in pedometer setting, there's no need for Moves anymore.

Screen Write Problem: Cannot get back to annotated screen if switching to another app

I am having a problem with my Note 5 on Verizon and want to see if anyone else is having the same issue. if you pick up the stylus and choose Screen Write, and then switch to another application, there is no way to get back to your annotated screen earlier. Can anyone confirm that this is the case. Samsung support says it works fine.

I can't do it either, not without multi window.

So does anyone know how to fix it? That is kind of a problem particularly when the Note 5 is for taking notes..... Otherwise what is the point??

Scratch that, can't do it with multi window either.

I did it. I opened chrome, pulled out the same s-pen, and started screen write. Then using lmt launcher I opened messages. Using the back button to get out of messages took me back to chrome with the screen write still active.
I think the problem is once the screen is cleared which happens when choosing recents or going to the app drawer, screen write gets cancelled.

Does it work with the standard launcher for you?

No because that requires clearing the screen, which clears screen write.

Just save it in the Gallery. You can open the Gallery and annnotate til your hearts content. The Gallery is Multi View so you can reference other apps at the same time if you want to. I use Screen Write to capture something interesting for business or funny/cute to share with friends. The former I save in folders in Scrapbook and the latter I MMS or e-mail. So for me it's not broken.

If you save it to the galery, and you write and have to switch again, then you still lose the contents. It seems to me more like a bug rather than a feature particularly when that is supposed to be the purpose of using it for annotation.
My plan was to use this for feature for meetings. You are going over the agenda etc. and then you want to take notes on top of an existing document and then save it or share it to Evernote etc.

I use S Note for everything you described. That's what it's designed for. Screen Write is for quickly capturing and annotating something. It's not even a persistent app which is why it goes away when it loses focus. And what difference does it make if you annotate<>save or save <>annotate?

Question QR scanner in the camera

Hi friends,
Has anyone tried the native QR scanner in the camera? I tried to scan a QR code but all I get is a "tap to scan" option and upon tapping nothing comes up! Am I missing some option?

The attached screenshot is what I see when I point my phone camera at a QR code
Tapping the window opens the webpage
