[Q] CM6 browser settings W/O CM6?

I just went back to a stock rom from CM6. The two things I miss the most are the ability to take away that zoom icon on the browser and the user agent feature in the browser settings. How can I get that without going back to CM6?

You can get the user agent feature by typing about:debug and going into the settings.

wow i didnt even know i could do these regardless of being on CM ive been CM'd for a while. thanks!

I just installed it too...seems Much better than my last version...which strangley expired today..i wonder if that's because the new beta just came out at the same time? Anyway, I'm happy and its working great..

Thanks for the heads up. I've been using the pirated 2.15, but it will be nice to be using an official release for once so I'll know when the newest release is out.

I signed up for the site to receive the beta, but I still have not gotten the email to download it. I've also tried resending the link and their server never sends out an email to me. Niiiccee....

I signed up but I am unable to download the installer, keep getting download unsuccessful. Anyone able to get it to install successfully?

This is gonna sound so obvious, and not to insult your intelligence, but have you looked in your spam folder?

I was able to download it successfully on two devices, no problem.

now that I actually try to get swype the official way its not letting me. Keeps saying "Sorry! Thus us not an android device." Anyone else getting this on cm6?

I had that problem at first but I realized I had my user agent set to desktop on my browser; had to set to Android.

that was it! thanks! funny how the little things get overlooked

will this automatically work on the aria?

Is there any way to get the apk from this newest release? I signed up for the beta and as soon as I did, I got a POP up saying my current version of swype had expired. And I can't do it the legit way since ATT blocks installs that are separate from the market. HELP!

Difficult in what way? I think its probably the easiest soft keyboard to use. I guess if you're not used to a qwerty keyboard then it does take some time to get used to where the keys are as swyping with efficiency does require you to have the letters locations committed to memory.

Exactly, it's hard to see as you're "swype-ing". I view this as just a novelty . After a little while it gets fun lol.

That's probably the reason people view it as a novelty. It becomes second nature after a while. I've gotten to the point now where I don't even have to look for individual letters on the keyboard as I'm swyping. I just need to view the keyboard as a whole and its just burned into my memory where I need to swype to get the letters. it just takes a little time, but once your get it down its by far the fastest way to type without having an actual physical keyboard.

make sure your internet browser on your phone is set to android mode and not desktop mode.

When in the browser: menu > more > settings > user agent > set to Android
At least, this is how it is in the browser for CyanogenMod..

Read Out of Text Messages

So I had my bionic in my car mount and received a text message. The phone then preceded to read it to me.
I haven't seen this anywhere but is there a way to gain this functionality when walking around?

Settings text to speech and accessibility should help and handcent sms allows only text message readout on the press of a button if memory serves

I kind of wish I could disable this feature.
It kind of got me in trouble one day

I can imagine....

I went through the settings and there isn't anything there to configure when its available.
The Casio G-Zone Commando has a "read out" app that will read any unread messages when you press the app icon. I have looked for the app but can't find it. If I'm able to find a Commando ROM ans extract the apk, do you thing it would work? Hmm, I guess I know my evening.
I have never liked things like handsent or third party apps that do what I already have a core app to do. It just seems like bloat

I agree but they work well as a temp fix until you find the solution

I think this would be a pretty cool thing if I could get it to work.
It didn't take me long to find a commando system dump, but a couple of hours later I am no closer to finding the apk.
I would GREATLY appreciate any help. On the commando there is an app called "read out" and it has the same icon as the text messaging app. If you touch the icon it will read your unread messages to you.
I figure (total guess) that it is interfacing with the picotts.apk like the bionic does in car mode. The bionic has the picotts.apk already, so I want to try installing the read out thing to see of it works.
Does anyone know what the read out apk is named? Or if this would work?

Give me a link to what you are working with and I will take a look, but I am no dev so no promises
Also this seems to work well https://market.android.com/details?id=de.exesmobile.messagereader

I saw there were a couple of apps, what I liked about this was it's almost more of a widget. Nothing opens you touch it and it reads. The down side to an app is if I have to open an app to use it I might at well read the message myself.
I appreciate the help. I know I probably sound like an idiot
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium

So I was able to check out a Commando and the "read out" is a 1x1 widget, not an app. The commando is the only phone I have seen this on.
Is there a chance that the pico apk is different on the commando and has that widget? If so can I install that version and have it work?
I like the widget because I don't want every message read out. I don't see the point in a seperate messaging app, because I could just open and read the message. But the widget I could find useful if I'm on Bluetooth or busy with something and don't want to stop and read. Just tap the screen and continue doing what I'm doing!

Unfortunetely commando forums are few are far between and not a lot of help.

Looks like that ROM is froyo based so I'm going to say probably not

Sucks. Any devs got some free time, and want to work on something a little unique?
So you think that's it, its a different Pico apk?

Check out VLingo in the Market. It has a setting that will read your SMS messages for you. There is even a handy widget to turn it on and off.

I like Car Dock Home v3 for full customizing and use Tasker for everything. It would be trivial to create a task that says to read an incoming text out loud based on docking status or location or time or whatever, and even automatically respond.

[Q] Cant log in

I just put the nightly build of CM7 on my thrill and I would have posted this as a comment on the thread but I cant yet :/ but I have no way to log into my gmail account to get to the market. It asks me if I would like to log into an account and I hit yes but it just goes straight back to the home screen. I tried adding it to the accounts but it says cant connect to server. I dont know what to do.

I can't get my Bluetooth to scan for other devices

Hit the 3 lines on the top left, scroll down to App Settings.

With the new fb update there is no 3 button. You have to goto app setting on the list on the left
