Hi guys,
I was just checking out the Play Store today for any app updates & my Nexus 7 saw an update for the Google Pinyin settings for Chinese text input.
I didn't know it was even installed at all. Now its put an app in my app drawer, and no option to uninstall it.
Has anyone else noticed this? A bug perhaps?
I know I can uninstall the updates, but don't want to in case there was a security patch in there.

Updates, and now it's gone from my app drawer at least

Instead uninstalling the update you can freeze it it with no problems to stop it showing the available update.

I haven't seen where I can freeze/disable it. I'm running stock, non-rooted so I haven't installed Titanium Backup.

look on the positive side. it's motivation to start learning Chinese
Go to settings>app and click the all panel. Find Google pinyin and disable. Done.

I have that along with a Google Korean keyboard too. Weird

Same here.
Off topic but I'm a little disappointed that the Pinyin keyboard has the ability to long-press for numbers and yet the default keyboard does not. I'm tempted to just use the Pinyin keyboard...
No need to go all emo with the Chinese/Korean/Japanese keyboards. It just saves Google from having to release localised firmware images. Unlike many xda members I actually use the Chinese (Pinyin) and Japanese (iWnn) keyboards.

Yep, I'm the only one.

I just started learning chinese and wanted to try Google Pinyin. Unfortunately my version seems to be completely in Chinese. When I enter the settings ("Settings" → "Language & keyboard settings") the keyboard's name and all the settings for it are in Chinese characters. I'd like to change the time for drawing a character but I'm completely lost here ... Does anyone know a way to change the language somehow?
EDIT: Just found a way: My system's language was set to German. I switched to English and now all the settings of Google Pinyin are in English

Hi Guys,
I have set my default launcher to Nova Prime. But frequently it crashes and goes to the Touchwiz launcher. Any idea how to rectify this??
I love Nova Prime & want to use it exclusively, but this is pissing me out.
Thanks in advance.

Maybe its still not compatible with Jellybean . I guess you can need to contact the NOVA Developers through Mail.

It is perfectly compatible with JB and Note 2. Been using it from the moment i got Note 2 and it has never defaulted so far. Sorry to ask this, was this bought in play store?? or is it a cracked version.
Bought on the Play Store when it was 0.99 cents.

I've been using it and it has been fine for me too. Perhaps un install it and reinstall it? Perhaps it is caused be a certain theme or widget or option?

Go to settings/apps and clear cache/data, see if that helps. I had the same thing when I restored it via titanium backup.
It happened to me too. I fixed it by marking the Nova launcher as the default one in the Nova settings.
I have been using it from quite some time now. It defaults to stock launcher when pressing home button after using MXplayer.

One of the times it defaults is when you long press the home button and go into the task manager.

I had the same problem. Go to nova settings and set it as default for there.

You should really check out go launcher. Its free and better than nova prime.
Its really improved my note2 experience.

I would suggest running their beta versions, they get updated often to address little bugs. These are still official versions, they are just minor fixes in between their Play Store releases. To update to beta versions go to
Nova Settings and scroll down to Nova, press check for updates...
Press the three dots and click Beta and Check automatically.

(On stock galaxy note 2 rom for India)

This makes the most sense to me. I think the apk is the problem, not the phone. It could also be that the apk is specifically compiled for an incompatible device.
You're not using SCREEN FILTER when trying to install non-market, are you?
Don't ask me why....

Haha, yeah, I had the same trouble many months ago! I was baffled! I knew I was doing everything right, but nothing would work!
Also, just so you know, you don't need to uninstall it, you just can't have it activated when you try to install apps. I guess you just can't install apps while it's dimming your screen, but I still can't understand why.
Glad that worked for you! !

I've been getting these ever since I updated to 4.3 I believe... Its not a popup that's in the notification shade, rather one that pops right in the middle of the screen, and it shows an advertisement for an app saying download free from play store (I think it had advertised a free game "paradise island") and then it tries to say why it recommended that app by showing other downloads i made off the play store.
Are these normal/from the play store or are they from a spammy app? Please help, thanks!

Nothing detected, its not something that's filling up my notification shade just a nasty popup. I went through all the games I had in my phone (not many, just 6) and unchecked the "allow notifications" option in the app settings menu. I haven't gotten one tonight, but next time I do get it I can screenshot it...

Sounds like a malicious app though, I haven't heard of popups on a phone not related to SMS notifications, or halo.

Very weird, could you show us a screenshot?
Check what is running, take a screenshot of what is running, if you don't see an app which shouldn't be there then go to the cached processes area above.

Running stock ROM rooted and was wondering how I could integrate the extended keyboard which I've seen featured in cataclysm ROM (awesome ROM by the way). The keyboard has the option to add a fifth row of keys used for all the numbers along the top.
Any idea how I can stay on the stock 4.4.1 ROM I'm rooted on now and add this feature? Is there something I can take from cataclysm root folder and move into bigxies ROM I'm on? ( thanks bigxie...solid work as always)
Thank you!!!

Change either Google or aosp keyboard to custom input style to English (PC) and enable it. It's under advanced settings in either of the keyboards settings

Thanks for the response but I'm not seeing it. Never seen it before cataclysm KitKat. At least I've seen it in Samsung note 2 TW keyboard but never on aosp keyboard.

You have yo add english (pc) As a language. It's not usable though. Keys become too small for me.

Thanks for the input. Went ahead and flashed new cataclysm update to 4.4.1. There are a few nice features in this ROM but its pretty close to stock. Here is what the keyboard looks like. Love this option. And you don't sacrifice key size.

What happened to voice typing? I factory resetted my phone and have lost it again. What gives? I used it very often!
How do I get it back?
Update: if you disable Google search, it also takes away the voice typing. I enabled Google search to test it and it appeared on my keyboard.

try the new app "Voice Typing Keyboard" VTK... much better, no microphone button to push, just say "listen" or "spelling" when in text field and start dictation, can move cursor around, insert punctuation, symbols, do editing formatting etc, all with voice
