quick controls in the browser

Great device!
Anybody managed to get the Quick controls from the "Lab" settings to work in the stock browser. It seems there are some problems with this feauture on the gal tab.
Also, are there any international versions out there yet? Mine only support UK/US English and Spanish. Samsung Netherlands "promised " that there will be an update. Wonder if there are roms floating around that have international support yet.

Nope. I wriggled my way back into the settings (I think through bookmarks) and disabled it after it nukes my address bar and tabs.

Pretty big omission. Will see if I can get the browser of the Xoom system dump to work. Btw there may be some interesting other goodies in this dump. The dump is posted in the Xoom development forum.

Update: I've just got it to work. There's a trick to it: you've got to slide 1 finger from the frame onto the screen.
Got this from:

Yes I'm familiar with it. I used it on the Xoom. But it doesn't seem to work on my Tab.

Umm.. weird. But try this anyway: I've got it to work once I got into debug mode. I'm pretty sure it didn't work before. So try it out, who knows.

Skype Galaxy Tab P1010

Hello guys,
I have a P1010 with Gingerbread 2.3.6 and have the newest official skypeversion installed. Unfortunately the video-chat still doesn't work. I have found several versions here on the forum but I'm still not sure which one to install. Can someone help me here? Is it safe to uninstall my current skypeversion?
Thx in advance for your help!

I finally got it working after searching and working out that there are several builds of signedcom.skype.raider_2.1.0.46 floating around and not all of them work! In fact the Advanced Settings section varied wildly between them.
The one that I used with success was Build v11 at www.multiupload.co.uk/6WEIZZGTX7.
In Advanced Settings, I had to set the following:
Force-enable video-calling > ON
Avoid setFPS > ON
Use valid preview surface > ON
Then you will have to tweak Rotation in Advanced Settings>Front Camera (270) to get your face to appear in the correct orientation if using portrait.
I'm sure some other combinations and versions will work too but this is what has worked for me.
Hope it helps

Thx for your help mate . Do you by any chance know if its safe to uninstall skype. With Froyo I had the problem that I couldn't install Skype after I uninstalled it because there was some residual file (which could only be removed by rooting the tab).

I didn't have any residual file problems and I must have installed 4 or 5 different versions.
Give it a go.

Where can I find Advanced Settings? The app seems to have vanished from the Market Place.

You need to uninstall the Market version of Skype and download the one I linked to above.
Next install this version and sign in.
Now you can use the Menu button and you'll see Advanced settings as one of the menu items.
You don't need anything from the Market.

Its works! Thank you so much! Wouldn't have thought it would finally work ^_^.

Sadly with multiupload down and the multiple builds of signedcom.skype.raider_2.1.0.46 out there as you mentioned I am having trouble tracking down the exact build you used. Does anyone have a working link for the version japester36 is talking about? Would love to get this working.

I've uploaded signedcom.skype.raider_2.1.0.46 Build 11 to my Dropbox, you can get it from here.
Hope it helps.

It does the same for me. I'll play with some settings, but not too much. I can't believe it works!

Hi guys,
did someone managed to solve the "half-picture" problem?

Finally rooted.. a few questions

Hey all,
I have my KFHD7 rooted and running beautifully thanks to the boards. I had more than a few hiccups due to the fact the board is so disorganized (HD 7, HD 8.9 posts all over the place, rather than in their respective sections). But.. all is good.
I've attached a screenshot below.
I have a few questions:
- When using Smart Keyboard Pro (best keyboard out there!) I notice that the 'softkeys' overlap it. Do you think this is an app problem?
- Does anyone know how I can enable a 'Recent Apps' thing or similar? I tried a few.. and I'm currently using one that I slide left (I forget its name), but it works.. but not as nice as the ICS one
- Perhaps because of the 'recent apps' problem, but when I receive notifications via Gmail, the status bar crashes. Any ideas on a fix?
- For many, many apps that have tablet versions, I find it sticks to the mobile phone version, which is clunky. Any ideas how I can fix this?
- Also, despite having Google Search downloaded (but I had to sideload it since the Play Store says it is not compatible), all searches still redirect to the Amazon version. Fixes?
Many thanks for all your help and tips!

Just a FYI everyone of those questions can be answered and have been solved just use the search forum.. Just bc you think this forum is "disorganized" doesn't mean you cant use the search tool. Here are some links to get you started:Nav bar problem for keyboards: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038452Recent Apps:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2158395 And as far as you mobile verzions apps try altering the dpi and there is some threads on that as well.. Google search:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155017 I think that about covers it..:good:

I've found the Google Search pretty poor on the forum; for example to have an adequate response I need to do 4 or 5 searches, on each forum, ya know?
But thanks for highlighting the answers for me

[Q] No "Add to Split View" in i9300?

Hi,
I flashed Omnirom 4.4.2 nightly 2014-03-17 yesterday and then updated it to the 21st nightly using the built in update.
I can't figure out how to enable/use the multi-window / split screen feature.
I don't have the "Add to Split View" option in "Recent Apps" manager like shown in so many blogs and how to videos, no matter on which app I tap and hold.
The only options I have are "remove from list" and "App info".
I also tried enabling OmniSwitch but that didn't seem to help.
I flashed superuser from TWRP so I do have root.
Am I missing something?
I'm on i9300.
Baseband I9300JKEMC1
Boeffla kernel 2.1 (although I also tested with Omni stock kernel)
Thanks,
Pyrocks

Same here on my n7105

Yeah, you're missing add to split view.

You're sharp
Now really, I did some more reading, do I have to install Xposed framework and XMultiWindow?
I thought this was supposed to be integrated into OmniRom.
Does it work for others?
What may be the reason?

After digging around I found out its not implemented by default in the final/nightly builds yet. I think you can patch it in.

Thanks for replying.
Do you know how can I patch it in? is there a flashable zip I can download (and maybe place in the FlashAfterUpdate folder) ?
I couldn't find more information about this (except for Xposed framework and XMultiWindow) - and found it strange that so many reviews and blogs show this feature with OmniRom and it's not there.
Thanks again.
Pyrocks

OK - found it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2567667
I think that the fact it's not yet integrated in the nightlies should be mentioned in a more visible place. It's not so obvious as some might think.

To be honest I gave up on it after reading about stability issues. Probably why it doesn't get included in the night lies.
Aside from that, I have a Note II which had split view on Touchwiz and I never used the feature!

Indeed stability issues, i gave it a try and ended up with a bootloop. Luckily the post also contains instructions for reverting the change so no harm done eventually, but yes, very unstable.
In all the forums and blogs this is like THE feature when peopele discuss about this rom. It has gotten too much publicity and too little discussion or work.
I also had toucbwiz and never used it, the reason was it was only for a limited list of apps. If it would be limitless and any app can be split - i'm pretty sure it'll end up being useful. That's kind of one of the reasons I wanted to try this rom in the first place (i'm not regretting though, it's mor:laugh:e stable than cm 11 nightlies).
Hope it gets fixed. Until then maybe I'll give xMultiWindow a try.

Does the keyboard work in chrome?

Do the BlackBerry keyboard predictions work everywhere? They don't work in chrome for me especially when trying to type in the address bar and on Google.
Is there something that I have to enable?

Nope it doesn't work in chrome, there was a modified keyboard here on xda but the poster removed it.

I think I still have that modified apk file saved somewhere. I have not used it, but I did use the other apk that modified "language" button.

Just an FYI - I didn't install it because I didn't need it.
Here it is the patched version that theoretically should enable predictions in the search bar and such: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByoPaCCmy-TOMmZ0RGE4QmI2X2s/view?usp=sharing

Thanks man, appreciate it.

Thanks. I already installed and using it on my note 9. It has some new features like quick phrase, addition number board... but I really want it to have a number row which appear permanent on top. and predict words can use all time or at least in search bar, chrome... that why I'm trying to find a modified apk with hope that someone did my favors.
I actually don't want to switch to another keyboard cuz I addicted of swiping to get predict words..
Thank for replying.:fingers-crossed:
