[Q] Text to speech (English) not working? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have Minimalistic Text widgets on my homescreen that I've configured to "Speak on tap". When I touch them, the TTS engine is supposed to speak the content of the widgets, like say the date or time.
But English TTS on the N7 doesn't seem to work. When I touch the widgets, I instead get a pop-up box asking me to install other languages including German, Spanish or Italian.
This feature works perfectly on my SGSII and my old Galaxy Tab 10.1, so I'm confused why it doesn't work on my N7. Anyone have any ideas?

Language is set to English but still non-English in ICS...

Hello there fellow Tab Users,
Here's what i observed after flashing to ICS....
I installed Yahoo Messenger and Whatsup and run both apps, there is an option at the status bar to zoom or enlarge but the language isnt English... i already set to English UK in the language settings...
Its just seems odd to me that everything is in English but the zoom option for ym and whatsup apps... or maybe other apps out there...
Thanks for the help...

The Good and Bad LG Software Features

This is a thread for those coming from an AOSP ROM like Vanilla Android or CyanogenMod or even from other OEM overlays like Sense. What would you say are the good and LG features?
For me, good:
Heads up display implantation of incoming calls when screen is on that ensures you don't break your workflow.
Little hovering window to show a call is in loudspeaker in the background with the time on it
Though almost standardised, having call controls in the notification drawer
Bad:
Auto expanded notifications
Unable to disable the clips tray
Unable to remove toggles from within the drawer
Battery percentage being to the left of the battery
Unable to customise lockscreen
Implementation of software navigation keys breaks functions like hiding the keyboard
Customisation of the share intent with everything being ticked all the time
I only had my phone for half a day, but already some software feature I really like:
"Clip Tray" (Multi-clipboard).
Double-knock to wake and go to sleep (I don't use knock-code, haven't tried it yet)
And something I really don't like:
Keyboard sluggishness. When I type (using flow), it's always 1 or 2 words behind... I'm going to replace it quickly with Google keyboard or SwiftKey

Agree with you about the keyboard... I hate it. I was using s4 with keyboard ported from s5. Is sluggish and i keep typing space more often..
Sent from my LG-D855 using XDA Free mobile app
I've noticed that the keyboard is sluggish with more than one language selected.
I really like the keyboard. Haven't tried swipe input on it yet. Overall i'm really impressed by the UI. Its got great flat icons, beautiful selection of wallpapers and lots of options to customise.
Knock on and knock code are great. Clip tray is a very useful feature and the popup reply notifications for the messaging app are really handy and have stopped me from using Hangouts as my main SMS app.
The downsides so far are no search on server within the email app and no option to show the weather on the smart notice widget without turning on GPS. Also for some reason LG took out the wireless storage feature from the G2 which was very useful. They should have kept it.
Bad:
When adding contacts, the default option is to add to "Phone" with no way of changing it.
Oversharpening of text. More obvious on certain fonts with black text on white background.
Camera options are way too limited.
Overall I'm quite happy with the software. Looks pretty good and some of the added features are quite useful.

[Q] How can I change the Whatsapp Plus emoji button?

Hi guys,
Im using a SM-G900F (european SGS5) with cyanogenmod 11 (2014-11-14 nightly) and i have a problem with the emoji's used specifically in WhatsApp Plus.
So the original whatsapp uses the iOS emoji's, which are the ones i want. Tho, after 'upgrading' to whatsapp plus, the app will only use the, i believe, android-style emoji's.
i have already tried emoji switcher apps and i have manually replaced the NotoColorEmoji font and 'disabled' other emoji fonts.
this has now resulted in the texting app and keyboard using the iOS-style emojis, so i believe the system is patched right.
but whatsapp plus still wont display the right emoji's; it will still only show the android emojis. pressing the emoji button next to the text bar brings up the wrong emoji keyboard.
i can however, using the standard cyanogenmod keyboard, hold the 'next line' button and select the emoji keyboard from there, which displays the right emoji keyboard.
but whenever i type any of them, they are typed the wrong style in the text bar, and the whole app displays em in the wrong way anyways.
does anybody know how i can fix this?

I am not entirely sure, but I think a.) there is an option in Whatsapp+ to change the emoji, look under Misc options, and b.) you can try a full reinstall of whatsapp+.

Show newly installed emoji on stock Samsung Keyboard?

Greetings fellow Note 3 users* I have a small inquiry regarding the stock samsung keyboard.
Using Emoji Switcher from the Play Store/xda thread, I was able to swap those ugly as hell samsung emojis with EmojiOne instead. Not only does it replace emojis, but it also adds new ones (racially diverse emojis, burroto, extra smilies etc).
The kicker here is that the stock samsung keyboard does not show those extra emojis, just the ones that shipped with the phone (they are replaced with EmojiOne though). Using gboard and other 3rd party keyboards gave me access to those new emojis, but I always come back to the samsung keyboard due it's speed and comfort xD
Is there anyway I can show the extra emojis on the samsung keyboard along the already replaced ones??
Thanks in advance!!!!!*:angel:
