Install Dictation - voice to text on HD 10 (2019) - Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After I installed google play store on the latest fire HD 10, i wanted to install the gboard app so I could dictate text instead of typing. But unfortunately I cannot change to another keyboard in the settings of fire OS. Is there any possibility or solution?

You can change the keyboard using ADB:
Code:
//Enter ADB shell
adb shell
//Open input method listed
ime list -a
//Enable the alternate input method
ime enable com.google.android.inputmethod.latin/com.android.inputmethod.latin.LatinIME
//Set it
ime set com.google.android.inputmethod.latin/com.android.inputmethod.latin.LatinIME

The last command doesnt seem to work. Is the device to be rooted before?
BTW: I could activate GBoard but I doesnt seem to work when I use the speak function.
BTW: now , i entered the correct code which u wrote. But still did not work.

Try it another way:

THX, this works fine and GBOARD is activated.
But my problem is when I click on the microphone and speak, it listens and I can see the mic is working. But unfortunately, no text appears then. I already deactivated Alexa.
Also tried your advice in this thread, but it does not work. https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/help/amazon-fire-hd8-2018-gboard-microphone-t4067139

I have got the same problem on the Fire HD 10 and Fire 7 (2019) (not rooted or unlocked). I could enable Google Assisant and Google Voice Search but Voice Input with Gboard and Youtoube Kids does not work!
After enabling Google Voice Input in the Settings a messages appears "Note: After a reboot, this app can't open until you unlock your Fire."
How do I fix this problem?

No, sorry! No solution yet! :crying:

Same problem here. What's strange is that I bought two Fire HD 8+ tablets... Setup (basically) the exact same way. Voice typing works on one but not the other! So frustrating...
Anyone else have any other ideas or success?

Nexus 5 Jolla Store fix, warehouse install, and keyboard predictions

Found this answer deep in a Jolla thread and it worked like a charm, so I thought I would bring it to light for anyone trying to enable/fix these features on their Nexus 5 running Sailfish OS:
All credit to @5pik3
Download the newest version on your Jolla device here: https://openrepos.net/content/basil/warehouse-sailfishos
Go to terminal (or dev SSH access)
Acquire root permissions with
Code:
devel-su
Type in the password from the developer options panel in the settings app
Now execute this code, line by line
Code:
ssu dr home
ssu dr adaptation0
zypper refresh
If you get a prompt here, type yes (you may have to do it 2 times)
Code:
pkcon install-local /home/nemo/Downloads/harbour-warehouse-[version].armv7hl.rpm
(Replace '[version]' with the version you are installing)
Code:
pkcon install store-client jolla-xt9 jolla-xt9-cp
And that is it! Jolla store should work, Warehouse should be installed, and after a reboot, you will have keyboard predictions!
OP:
5pik3 said:
If you want to install warehouse app download from here https://openrepos.net/content/basil/warehouse-sailfishos
Now open your terminal app or use the ssh access.
You need to have root permissions with 'devel-su'. Enter your password (the one in the developper options in the settings app).
Now you have to disable some repos : enter 'ssu dr home' and 'ssu dr adaptation0'.
Try a litle 'zypper refresh' and you will see no more authentication errors
And you can install the warehouse app with 'pkcon install-local /home/nemo/Downloads/harbour-warehouse-0.3-20.armv7hl.rpm'
And finally you type 'pkcon install store-client jolla-xt9 jolla-xt9-cp'
You can now have the keyboard prediction's and have both warehouse and jolla store to work

You are typing it in, it is just not showing up (this is a security feature for every linux distro). So, type the password in (even though it is not showing up) and hit enter, it will work.

How do you enable a keyboard via adb?

Google just released a handwriting keyboard for Android and I am wondering how it works on Android Wear. I have got it installed on my watch but much like minimum keyboard... you need to set it to the default keyboard via adb. I haven't been successful in getting it set, but I know it must be possible as you can do it with minimum.
Google Handwriting Input: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.handwriting.ime&hl=en
APK Mirror: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...e-handwriting-input-1-0-android-apk-download/
VIdeo of the keyboard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOyNLOFTMeo
Minimum Install instructions: http://support.minuum.com/knowledgebase/articles/394385-minuum-on-android-wear
Similar to this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android-wear/development/android-stock-keyboard-wear-t2993458
for "ime enable" and "ime set" you need this:
Code:
com.google.android.apps.handwriting.ime/.HandwritingIME
https://plus.google.com/photos/1150...ms/6138352332771697393?authkey=CKyFluHvj7-RNg
Lets us know how it works out
Works standalone and with Terminal Emulator:
Im gonna install it thabks man!
by chance did you get it running? i tried to set it as keyboard but it crashes

Nokia 6 / How to add unsupported language to the keyboard?

I purchased a Nokia 6 recently and noticed it doesn't support Korean. The default language is English but I need Korean keyboard for messaging or searching. Can anyone guide me how to add an unsupported language to the keyboard?

Google has a separate keyboard for Korean - you can find it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.inputmethod.korean
Actually, the you can even switch the interface to Korean as well, but it requires a bit of command-line knowledge. My Nokia 6 is in Korean now:
could you explain how you changed the language with a bit of command line knowledge? much appreciated!!!

No problem. First, you need to download an app to change your language. There are lots of them on the Play Store - the one I use is MoreLocale: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale
Since normal apps are not allowed to change language on Android, you have to grant them a special permission.
First, enable USB debugging on your phone. Assuming you're on Oreo, go to Settings > System > Phone information and quickly tap on Build number until a message that says "Congratulations, you are now a developer" appears. Then go to Settings > System > Developer options and turn on USB debugging.
Second, install ADB on your computer by following this guide: https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
Next, connect your phone with your computer. Open a command prompt window from where you installed ADB, then type this command: adb shell pm grant jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION
Finally, open the app and tap on your preferred language. If it's not in the list, tap the three-dot button and choose Add locale.
This change sticks even after reboots and updates so you can delete the app. However, don't delete the added language from the language list in Settings or you'll have to add it again.

Is it possible to deinstall the Lockscreen on HD 10?

So the Lockscreen on my new HD 10 is pretty garbage, so far I've managed to get rid of the ads, but I can't change the Lockscreen wallpaper and I don't get any preview of a notification (e.g. the mail subject etc.)
Is there a workaround for those problems? Because simply isntalling a new lockscreen app, just makes me unlock my tablet twice, which isn't ideal.
Did you manually disable com.amazon.kindle.kso (special offers/lockscreen ads) over ADB in fire os 5.4.0.0 or lower using the method DragonFire1024 posted? If so, then yes, I found a fix that allows you to see notifications on the lockscreen without swiping down, more like the stock Android 5.x lockscreen.

I thought Amazon broke the ability to disable apps over ADB with the release of 5.4.0.1. Did that not affect the new 2017 HD 10?

It works for me in adb shell with
pm clear --user 0 com.amazon.kindle.kso
Well, I don't know if this will work with your exact tablet, but try this:
1. If you haven't already, get the Google Play store/services on your tablet
2. Download this app without the quotes: "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=by4a.setedit22&hl=en"
3. Follow on-screen instructions to grant tablet permission to edit secure settings (worked on 2 devices on 5.6)
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU EDIT. If you change the wrong settings, your tablet can and probably bootloop or get bricked.
4. Go to the "secure" tab, scroll down to "limit_ad_tracking" and change value to 1
5. Go to "global" tab, scroll down to "LOCKSCREEN_AD_ENABLED" and change value to 0. Immediately reboot your device.
This was tested and worked on two HD 8 tablets on 5.6, with special offers manually disabled on 5.4. Since Amazon still thinks you are subscribed to special offers (ads), the notifications are hidden. This workaround actually makes the ads gone (hopefully), so the notifications will appear as soon as you turn on the screen, without a swipe down gesture.
Open up command prompt. Type in "adb shell", Then type in "su"
Then copy this into command prompt.
sqlite3 /data/system/locksettings.db "UPDATE locksettings SET value = '1' WHERE name = 'lockscreen.disabled'"
You will not get a confirmation, now type "exit", then type "reboot".
Let the device reboot and enjoy! Now install a new lockscreen.
Want it back?

Like that one eh? That was one of the first ones I found. Works without root too.

Personally, I'd suggest just rooting it and disabling it. I did it a few months ago on my Dad's HD10 by following one of the guides here- I just can't remember which one, but it was simple. I also installed Gravity Screen Pro since I have his set up more like a laptop. The screen turns on/off when opened/ closed without ever having to see a lock screen. I might stop by my parents today (depending on the weather) and if i do, I'll try to trace my steps and link the guide I followed

I love all your posts- it's your guide I followed to disable the lockscreen. Unfortunately, Xposed is a bit much for a "noob" like me. I attempted to install it and got caught in a bootloop and had to do a factory reset. Considering what my dad uses it for, the negatives far outway the positives for me to bother with Xposed ever again

Oneplus 8 pro - Android 13 - Call recording AND spam blocker

Now i use joneplus tools + oneplus mod dialer for call recording on Android 13.
I miss a spam call blocker...
Any solution to have the automatic call recording function AND spam call blocker with Android 13?
Thanks.
Try using the Google Dialer with the Pixelify Magisk Module.

I solved it like this:
I installed joneplus tools (from the playstore I know that it doesn't work anymore so it must be installed from the apk - in reality I had already installed it)
set the permissions via ADB as required by the various guides (remember to enable Disable Permission Monitoring in developper options)
loaded the modified oneplus dialer
doing so everything works as before, with the difference that I no longer have the screen where I can change the recording options in the dialer, but the recordings still start automatically (I think it is due to the fact that the "modified dialer" goes to "modify " call screen only.

hi ChiP_83,
about the ADB command in step #2, is it
"/adb shell settings put global op_voice_recording_supported_by_mcc 1"?
thanks in advance
This was working on android 11
ADB command with joneplus tools installed
adb shell pm grant net.jroot3d.joneplustools android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
ADB command without installing joneplus tools
adb shell settings put global op_voice_recording_supported_by_mcc 1
Hi all. I just tied to set call recording, install joneplus tools, and granted write through adb, install modified dialer, but no luck, call recording not visible. If i try update my regular phone app, looks like it finished with success, but can't find same version number..
Well new android version IN2025_11_F62 and no call recorder again.. any solutions?
