N1 Voice Input (speech to text) feature disappeared!

Hi All,
For some odd reason all of the sudden Voice Input (speech to text) feature disappeared! I cannot find the little microphone in the keyboard. Also swiping across is not activating this feature.
I would appreciate any help.
thanks

Hold down the '?123'<keyboard settings<voice input (make sure it's checked)

That option doesn't exist. I was testing few keyboards and i wonder if i have un-installed the original one !?! When i go to input method i see "android keyboard". should it only say keyboard? sorry for my stupid questions.

If you literally hold down the "?123" key for a couple seconds a pop up will appear that gives a choice of input
Method or keyboard settings, hit keyboard settings.

the Voice Input above does not exist on my screen
I have installed HTC_IME Keyboard and the icon does appear now on the keyboard. However, nothing happens when i click it.

I don't believe the feature works with the hacked HTC_IME keyboard.

Multiple Choice Virtual Keyboards?

I'm not crazy about the default JB virtual keyboard. I'm used to the Swype keyboard on my Samsung GG phone. However, I can imagine that the default might work better in some contexts and don't really want to replace it. Is there a way to add Swype and possibly others and use a setting to select which one to use?

Using your N7, Login to your beta swype account and download the Swype for the N7.. works pretty good.

But if I install Swype can I use some setting to choose whether to use it or the default?

When you have multiple keyboards, you will see a small keyboard in the notification area when you are using a keyboard. That will allow you to select which of the multiple keyboards you have loaded to switch to.

Also you can drag down the notification bar whenever a keyboard is up and choose Choose input method to choose between Swype, the default, and whatever other keyboards you've install. You can also choose to hide keyboards from the list in that settings menu.

I've tried swype and swift key' but have gone back to using default. With the other keyboards, text prediction doesn't always show up in certain text boxes at least for me.

How To Make HTC One Nearly Full Gesture Based, no root, no tricks, no costs

Just good ol' Android customization and apps, baby:
EDIT: How do I make pictures smaller? Sorry for the giant pics...
Using Swipe Pad (free from Play Store), you can set it up so that it's activated from a gesture from the bottom of the screen (or anywhere else). I have it there so. To activate, I gesture up from the HTC logo (very BBZ10 like). This can be done from anywhere and any app.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then the "Home" portal (a default option of Swipe Pad) can bring you back to the home screen. Then the two portals around it are to put the device to sleep (via an app that's called Screen Off and Lock, also free) so I don't always have to reach up to the power/wake button.
Then the above level of portals are my most frequented apps. I didn't set anything higher but that may yet come. You can add almost anything you want!
It's not only a handy app switcher of sorts, but also one that allows you to set gesture based commands.
Anyway, links to the apps I used are below.
And there you go, a nearly full gesture base HTC One. The only time I have to really reach up to press the power/wake button is to wake the device.
Just thought I'd share! The only obstacle is when the on-screen menu buttons are present. All the more reason for HTC to update the software to rid us of that obnoxious menu bar.

Now if only you can figure out how to turn it on with swipes without rooting

[Q] Keycode of an virtual button

Hello i need to override the virtual onscreen button that hides the soft keyboard.
Does anyone know hot to get the event of the virtual button that hides the keyboard or its KEYCODE? On devices with hardware buttons (Back Home Options Search) this can be done by overriding the BACK button, but on devices that have onscreen virtual buttons the back button changes into an arrow that hides the keyboard...

You can override the EditText: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3425932/detecting-when-user-has-dismissed-the-soft-keyboard
There are also other possiblities: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2150078/how-to-check-visibility-of-software-keyboard-in-android
They just do not use the onKeyXXX methods. :laugh:

First of all thank you for your fast answer.
I managed to implement to detect if the soft keyboard is shown or hidden using the method that measures the layout height.
Thank you very much!!

[APP] App Swap, your favorites apps one swipe away

Your favorites apps one swipe away, from anywhere !
App Swap is a drawer which allow you to easily launch your applications. It works with your existing launcher (Google Now, Nova, Yahoo Aviate, Everything Me,...).
There are two ways to launch it, from your home screen or with a swipe up from your navigation bar. And swipe up gesture can be done from any app.
This app is optimal when the device have a on screen navigation bar, like the Nexus family.

If the activity from where you launch app swap auto rotate then it will rotate. Ex from Google Maps it will rotate, from the home screen it won't rotate.
However the landscape layout is still under progress, the display/layout is not correct for the moment.

looks great... installed it and whenever i swipe up, nothing appears, i have to actually click the icon for it to appear... fix?

Actually I have a bug with the App Swap first launch, it is taking few seconds (initializing app list, analyzing icons...). The next launches should be fine ... do you confirm ?
I plan to fix the first launch experience.
