General :: Safe Third Party Keyboards?
Dec 29, 2013
is there anyway to know which third party keyboards are safe to use?
Is like a neon one but the warning message when setting it makes me nervous about the possibility of it recording and sending my input.

keyboard on google translate app?
It has an option which converts handwriting to text as u write and tap the space bar.
I found that with a stylus i can write much faster and with less mistakes.
And it's nice for taking notes as I follow around our technicians.
So, is there a keyboard out there that can do that? If ICS' keyboard can do it, where is it in the settings. couldnt find it.

I'm getting a little exasperated by the lack of a "forward" and "back" arrow on my HTC phone's native keyboard. Are there any alternative keyboards I can download that have these keys? (Just to be as clear as possible, I'm talking about keys that allow one to move the cursor back and forth without moving/deleting text along with it.)

I've tried to move Swiftkey 3 keyboard to the system partition with titanium backup pro but it keeps force closing, when I done this with Swiftkey X, it had worked perfectly without any force closing. My question is, Is there any way to move Swiftkey 3 keyboard to the system partition without any force closes? (Same with swype beta)

I've just moved into as SG Mega. But have a problem with contacts. All my contacts have safely come down from Google and appear to all be there and fine, however my third-party apps aren't seeing them. If I start a text message in "Messaging", it reads the contacts and offers me choices. But if I do the same in "Handsent", my messaging app of choice, it does not. Likewise, "Gmail" sees the email addresses in my contacts fine, whereas my regular email app, K9, does not.

Has used a 3rd party SMS/MMS application (ie Handcent, GoSMS, Textra, 8sms, etc etc) to use send/receive MMS over WiFi Calling WITHOUT ANY DATA? I'm in an area where I can only use WFC, and all of my 3rd party SMS apps simply will not send or receive MMS over WiFi Calling without using the stock app.
And I repeat, NO DATA, no wifi = no service, so if you have a solution, make sure it's not quietly turning on data, sending the MMS, then going back to wifi, because that's not going to work as there is no cell service in this location.

My cctv dvr comes with an android app that I can use to view cctv cameras.
The dvr is configured to send an email when it detects motion.
What I'm struggling with is trying to figure out how to launch the cctv android app when an email arrives, and then after a set time (e.g. 30secs) to stop the application or put it to sleep.
The idea is that I will have a number of android tablets on the wall in various rooms, and they will come on and off automatically when motion is detected outside.
Is it possible to achieve this? Is there an app that can look out for the email notification and then launch a 3rd party app i.e. the cctv app, and then after a preset time shut it down. (I think if the cctv app is left running in the background, the streaming is still continuing and drains battery and eats data.)

I have a android apk which I installed on my Samsung Galaxy Ace 2.
I backed the app up so I could download the apk to my Windows PC.
I'd like to edit the .png files in it, I've followed a tutorial on here using the apktool, decompiled ok and recompiled it, but when I transfer it back to my phone to re install it I get a message saying the application cannot be installed.

I currently have a Samsung s3 with jb 4.1.2 on it. After the upgrade I have realised contacts app has a little more lag while loading. I have read that installing a third party contacts app could be one quick workaround. However if I install a third part contacts app... Will it delete/uninstall the stock contacts app? Not being able to get this answer anywhere!

I have a Sprint HTC One. I recently flashed a new ROM. VENOM 5.0 which supports my PDA.
So, after installing it I downloaded all the required apps and they worked fine.
Later the next morning when I switched on my data connection, all the apps ran on data and everything went on well. Then I installed Root Firewall PRO and set all my required settings, after that none of the third party apps didn't receive any data connection. Neither Whatsapp nor Facebook Messenger received data. Even though they are only messaging apps, they also did not receive any Data Connection.

I've noticed something since I updated my phone to kitkat 4.4.2 (it's a Z1 compact).
Whenever I use another app than my default app to send SMS, eg. I'm using SMSPopup, Glowfly or event another "real" SMS app along with my default one (let's say hangouts or Handcent), I have duplicate sent SMS, that means I have twice my sent messages in my list. I didn't have this issue on JB.
I tried to tweak access/read/write permissions via AppOps but the result is still the same. I now have to use the same app for popups/Notifications and SMS. Other SMS apps are useless because they duplicate the text messages.

My Nexus S has been on safe mode on and off for a few months now. It is on safe mode because the volume down button is not working. I say safe mode is on and off because when the volume down button does happen to work, I restart my phone, and safe mode would go away. However, the volume down button would only work for a few minutes so I have to be very quick in rebooting. But safe mode would come back on if I need to reboot it again (phone freezes, etc). It would go back to safe mode because when I need to reboot it again, the volume down button doesn't work.
However, the volume down button is not working completely now and its been like this for like 2 months. I thought my phone would be always on safe mode now. But my phone has rebooted itself twice randomly (never happened before) and on its own and my phone would come out of safe mode, despite the fact that the volume button doesn't work at all. I can't just randomly wait for this random reboot to occur cause it can come at any time, sometimes even weeks. I just had to to restart my phone manually because my phone froze and it's back on safe mode. I was wondering how to make the phone randomly reboot itself on its own.

I got my phone back from getting it's screen fixed. When I got into the car I noticed it was in safe mode. I didn't think it was a big deal and thought I could easily return my phone back to normal. Turns out I was wrong, I am having a terrible time trying to figure out how to get my phone out of safe mode.

My phone died this morning on the way to work. When I charged the battery a bit and turned it back on, it was in safe mode. I've restarted the phone multiple times and it's still in safe mode. I have also shut it down completely and then restarted it, but to no avail. AND I have removed the battery and still, nothing. How can I disable safe mode?

This is my device: Irulu 7 inch tablet. CPU Processor: Allwinner A13 1.2 GHZ +GPU Mali 400 MP Operating System: Google Android 4.0.3 ICE Cream Sandwich
The tablet comes with a 5 v. 2000 mA ac charger designed to plug into a separate charging port on the unit. I have a second charger (5 v. 1200 mA) that is designed for usb charging. Can I safely use this second charger to charge through the tablet's micro usb host port?

I hard bricked a Nexus 4 flashing a bad ROM. So now I have a new one, and I want to know if there is a way to check if a ROM is bad for my phone before I flash it. If a thread on xda says, this ROM is for HTC one, does that meadoit is only safe for THAT phone, or is anything that is JB 4.2.2 and up safe for my nexus 4? Just want to make sure before I start flashing ROMs again.

I know it's possible to uninstall messaging and music, but is it possible to replace them with like ChompSMS and Rocket Player in the system or do the third party apps use the stock apps?

I was downloading a bluetooth toggle button from the market, battery died. After plugging it in and turning it on, it's now in "Safe Mode". Says safe mode in bottom left corner, none of my app's show up, none of my widgets work.
Rebooted 100 times, held the trackball, held the menu button, held the back button, held the volume button, factory reset. Still in safe mode.

I have a 4gb sd and had it for a while. yesterday i got a new phone and it came with a 16gb sd card pre installed. at first i was going to use it for something else but this phone records hd videos and in doing so may take much more memory than normal, including that this phone takes mp4 videos. So I want to know a safe way to move all my data, music photos, video etc to the 16gb. I seen some people say drag all the data, do i actually drag ALL FOLDERS, or only certain folders?

I'm got a problem with my Motorola Razr Maxx, it is running only on SAFE MODE. I found a problem with my Volume Down button, so I can't select other option on boot!
Result, my phone is on Safe Mode forever, I can't install apps and some apps are hidden. I can live without Volume Down button, but this phone on Safe mode isn't useful.
There is some thing that I can do? Every solution that I found should press PWR Button, Volume Up and Volume Down...
I`m stuck here: [URL] ....
As my Volume Down is not working, I cant select the other options.

I uninstalled market updates to fix a problem and was stuck with the old old android market for a couple days until I downloaded the Google Play Store APK from the link on this page and now I'm worried that I just installed some APK I know nothing about; trusting it just because I noticed the download was hosted on dl.xda-developers.com .
Here's the link for the actual file I downloaded: URL....

I like changing the DPI of my Galaxy Nexus to 240dpi
Unfortunately, this makes some apps run in tablet mode (Plume Pro and Tweetcaster Pro)
Changing to 241dpi fixes this
However, this ruins my market - I can no longer get updates for many of my apps ("This app is not compatible with your device")
There is an option with LCD Density Modder Pro to use a 'modded market' - this seems to solve my problem, however... is using this modded market safe? Because surely it's some sort of hack and so I shouldn't keep my card details within it (to purchase apps?)

I have just performed my first ROM flash on my S3 with Android Revolution HD 14
With Jellybean comes Google Now, the Android equivalent of Siri. I have been experimenting with this and have discovered that despite my Google account settings being set to safe search filter off, and that I have turned off the Block Offensive Words option in settings, Google Now filters things by default.
For example, if I say 'Images of Large Hadron Collider' Google Now will duly serve me image results as requested, but if for example I say 'Images of furious sweaty butt sex' it just provides me with a web search and I subsequently have to select images myself. Even when I do, it takes me through to images that have quite clearly been filtered. Not only this, but if I were to request images of something where there were mixed images of clean and not so clean, it would only serve me up the filtered pics.
So my question; is there a way to turn off the safe search elements so that my internet can be delivered to me as I wish, or do I have to put up with Google not showing me what I have requested? (which isn't furious sweaty butt sex)
