One of the features on ICS that I really liked was Auto Fill, where you fill out name, address and email info one time and any forms that you came across that needed some or all of that info were automatically filled in, but I can't find it on JB.
Edit: meant to put this in Q/A not sure how it ended up in General.
Pretty sure that's a browser feature...

Unless I'm mistaken, which is possible, but I remember there being a form in the systems settings menu.
Feel like an idiot... just found the setting in the Chrome Browser.

Don't feel like an idiot. Stupid people never know that they are idiots. Only smart people admit having an idiot moment.

When reading an article on Engadget, the address bar keeps popping down and loading... something... This happens every 30 seconds or so. And pressing stop doesn't prevent it from happening again in the next 30 seconds.
Does this happen to anyone else? What in the heck is it??
I'm going to resurrect this thread as it keep happening to me too. I'm sure its something simple that is just beyond me at this point. XD
Thanks. I guess not many people here read Engadget
Had it happen on other forums... If you can change your user agent that worked for me. Or just kill your apn.. Just a thought

I think the auto-reload might have something to do with the comments. Maybe Disqus is constantly polling for any changes you've made like ranking or reporting, etc, even if you haven't clicked anything.

The process took less then 2 minutes from registering to downloading - have it now and about to install.
Looks ok.
I think Thumb Keyboard has a lot more functionality (directional keys, readily accessible punctuations, @ symbol, parentheses, .com key with extras [.net, .org, .etc) when longpressed and all other 'tabbed' symbols just require a longpress, too.
Just MHO.
Here are some screen shots just not a big fan of the full screen text input. Would also like split me keyboard in portrait.

haha me too... why would you need this keyboard if you are using it in portrait? wouldn't stock work well enough? just wondering.... but the whole full screen force thing is bad, thumb keyboard does it too by default, but you can override it.

patience grasshopper. they are really fast about it, shouldn't be more than a few minutes. respect developers' wishes. if they wanted it out here they would have posted it here.
Trying it out now, so far I love the look of the app and it has been working great.

It needs some work still, I was on a closed beta (which I think I can admit), and of course, now use the open beta available on the forum.
But despite the issues with sizing and the alternate keys for symbols and stuff, the predictive text is still like the number one need when typing on a tablet, and it is so much more useful than stock. I don't use split mode atm, because of the key sizes, but I'm hoping I'll like that once they get it worked out.

The common theme seems to be the small buttons are an issue. Hopefully they will make th necessary adjustments.
I'm sure they will, it was among the first comments in the closed beta. I'm using standard layout for now.
Also, nobody can deny... SwiftKey's style on the Xoom is freaking awesome.
An elderly relative of mine shall be getting herself a Nexus 7 tomorrow, which she plans to use mainly for e-Reading plus a bit of media usage in the form of BBC iPlayer. I was looking for an easy-to-use interface for her. Any launcher recommendations or simple customisations to make it just a little bit easier? I am sure she could use it as is, but making it easier so I don't have to teach her so much will be good.
How elderly? Talk back might be nifty. I tried it once, it was annoying as hell though

Instructions are poor. You get a quick startup guide on paper and then have to open the book section to read the user manual. I find it harder to learn about a system when I an constantly flipping from the manual to a page to try out what I was reading.

I was more just on about launchers which would allow her to have a nice, clean UI that isn't too cluttered.
Anyone know of such a launcher?

No problem. The only launcher that might suit your needs would be a heavily customized apex launcher.

Just empty the desktop from every single icon . Than..
1.on home screen Add icons that this person will use the most e.g BBC iPlayer (not sure bits going to work without flash), chrome, play store and a nice looking clock widget or something
2. Set each other screen with categories e.g one for books where you place the appropriate widgets and icons . One for videos and one for whatever else like notes calendar and other productivity ....
3. Do that person a favour and download some games .. yes games . You'd be surprised how often older people like to play ... ideal games would be mahjong, card games , also things like Bejeweled ,Zuma, scrabble type games
Stock android launcher is good enough trust me you just have to know how to organise it. Also wait for chameleon that might change things

So, been wondering for a while. When will the next big "Customized" ROM occur? We've already gotten MIUI and its pretty cool, but wouldn't you want to see something new? Something not based off of iOS or Android in general but still able to to run on Android? Something fresh, new, never before seen? I've no idea what it would look like or how it would run, but maybe you guys do? A "Wish list" if you will, the appearance, how it preforms (keep in mind Hardware limitations of various phones), etc.
I guess I can (dream) start:
-The next potential Cyanogenmod but appears nothing like your standard Android OS
-Running on ICS and JB?
Just bored and I wanna see what some people can come up with. Maybe if a talented developer or a group of them could come together to pull something off? (One can only imagine)

There's a limit to what a developer can do with the Android source code, especially with a biannual release schedule. I'm not sure there will be anything radically different any time soon. If Google switches to one major update a year it might be possible.
I've always thought ParanoidAndroid looked cool but never tried it. It's a tablet hybrid ROM for phone.

If you mean Sony's XCMB it probably won't happen. They aren't exactly fans of outside development.
Something like Windows phone? The UI I mean, its pretty "outside the box" a ROM that's "never before seen" A status bar that is accessible via swiping from the left or right? A Facebook friendly ROM? (Will never happen unless FB releases source code) Let your ideas flow!

Haha, you mentioned a Facebook friendly ROM I think we'll just stick with the crappy app.
I can't for the life of me figure out how to access my Google bookmarks on the stock browser. Does anyone know how to import them? All I can see are the default bookmarks.
In the meantime, use Chrome.
I'm not a big fan of Chrome. It really isn't a big deal, just wondering if I was missing something.

As far as I know the stock browser does not have this functionality. Not sure why you would expect it to, especially since Chrome is included in the ROM.
I came from the gs3 and the stock browser on that was able to do that, I assumed they all did. It has been a while since I had an HTC phone.
Well capt, depending on what gapps package you used in AOSP, I'd be able to access my bookmarks through stock browser.

Hit the menu, and go to Bookmarks. Do you have a drop down for the bookmarks that lists All Bookmarks, Local, <youremail>@gmail.com?
I have all of my bookmarks from my stock browser from my first tablet.
The only thing in the drop-down is 'local'

That's strange....can someone else confirm that Local is the only thing available on the drop down? That sucks, because I actually prefer the stock HTC browser over Chrome. My phone tends to like it better. Maybe it's just me.

EDIT: The files from the above zip did not have any effect for me.
It just occurred to me that Google dropped the stock AOSP browser completely in favor of Chrome. The stock Internet browser from HTC is only a skinned version of the AOSP browser, so it comes as no surprise that sync and other features wouldn't be working.
Understood. Sometimes it seems like we lose more features and conveniences as we keep upgrading to newer versions. I'm sure Google has their reasons for certain things, but I sometimes wonder what their thinking is.
