Walker SMS app? - Vibrant Themes and Apps

Hey, I remember seeing something on phandroid about a app exclusively for Samsung Galaxy S, its a SMS app for walkers, allows you to write SMS with a camera showing you through the phone.

I read that paragraph 4 times and still dont understand it....

It's called Samsung Road SMS.
Story is at Android Community.

anyway to get the apk? we dont have the store here

i can post it in a minute if you want it.

Just to let you know it is probably the worst keyboard ever! It does look nice but the functionality is just aweful!

Built in screenshot

Ok so ive someone else post about this before just canteen remember if it was on another forums or not.
Ok so earlier today i was messaging someone and i was trying to get out the message screen but my phone was taking too long or i was just impatient but anyway i kept hitting the home button then i hit the back button and all of a sudden i heard a shutter sound. Sooooo i went into my gallery and there it was a seperate folder just for "screenshots" and mind you i do have the shoot me app and the folder for that is "shoot me". Has anyone else ever experienced this? I thought it was so cool that there is/was a built in screenshot but just wish i knew how to do it again i was so excited!!

this happened to me a few days ago, as well. thought it was a hidden TW bionix-v function. I tried a number of different key presses to no avail. somebody has to know what the deal is, right?

I posted this same question in the axura beauty thread. I thought it was a special addition to the axura rom. I found out that its not a rom special but its actually an android feature, only problem I haven't got an actual answer on how to access this feature nor do I know what to look for. I have googled this several times and all I get are results telling me about drocap or shootme and how to use the ddms in order to screenshot without root.

I know for a fact how to do this. I don't think you can force a screenshot with any soft touch keys but you'll notice the screenshot goes off when you're exiting an app/browser and the system freezes up briefly and when you try to hit home on the frozen screen it takes the screenshot. It's happened to me on a few occasions and I distinctly told myself to remember what was happening when the screenshot goes off and turns out it always goes off when my screen is frozen and I hit my home key, while thinking my back button wasn't registered and in fact, was registered and I just got impatient and hit my home button.
I've got a feeling it's a bug log kind of thing. Every post I've seen about it mentions that the phone locked up, and the user pressed buttons rapidly. Sure, we can take Screenshots! You have to have a crashing app to do it though.
This topic has been covered soooo many times not only here on XDA but google.

If you have a vibrant running stock froyo.ka6 you can try this screen capture app from the market:

The only one that does NOT require rooting.

Hmmmm it seems like StevenJCarney might be correct. Like he said it seems like it happens when peoples phones lock up & it could be a bug.
Hope it isnt a bug & someone is able to figure it out.
Same exact thing here. It really sucks an app has to crash to use it.

If you have a rooted phone you can just use an app called screenshot which works perfectly. And it's free.

TITANIUM BACKUP USERS! Which apps do you Freeze?

Was just curious...
I currently have
Android Keyboard 2.3.6 - Don't use it
Badge Provider1.0
Calendar 1.0 - Theres a 1.1 I'm using.
ChocoEUkor 1.0
Clock 1.0 - Theres 2 of these...
Com.Samsung.app.playreadui 2.3.6
com.samsung.inputeventapp 1.0.0
CSC 1.0
Mobile Print 1.4.1 - Don't use it
Pico TTS 1.0 - Don't use it
Samsung Keypad 2.3.6 - Don't use it
Samsung TTS 1.0 - Don't use it
Service Mode 2.3.6
Speech Recorder 2.3.6 - Don't use it
wipeoutreciver 1.0
So what do you all have disabled and have you noticed any gains in performance/battery life?
I don't freeze a single thing....I download every rom and completely tear it apart. Anything that would be froze I just completely delete the APK....pretty much every one in your list and a hundred more. I also delete all the apps that installed to the system such as Facebook, Twitter, etc.....and just reinstall from the market. Makes the rom super light shedding crazy MBs....no running system crap....pretty much if I clear my ram there is five things running in services until I launch something....I have been on Omega for over a month and a half with NO issues whatsoever running Codeworx kernel and getting 16 hours up with 5 1/2 hours of screen on and about 45 minutes of voice calls not to mention texts all day.

Impressive.
That list has served me well for a long time now....wish I had one back in the beginning of the Captivate days..would have saved me a bunch of time I wasted rescuing my phone....sure miss the fun though...the suspense of uninstalling the APK that was going to kill it. Kind of like guitar hero....it just wasn't as fun after you're good at it.
Don't forget to hit Pulsers thanx button for putting that together.

Thanks for the link
i only freeze something as a test for battery life. Once I know that there aren't any ill effects of freezing it, I'll remove it. So my rom's dont really have anything frozen, unless I'm testing it.

S Voice not working, won't always speak ???

S voice doesn't always want to talk, and yes Voice Prompt is turned on.
Does anyone know what the problem is?
Same with driving mode text to speech, wont always talk. I've installed the voice synthesis software, what is wrong?
Anyone else having this issue?

Same behavior here.
I call it the Vlingo Disaster. This S-Voice bs was just as buggy on Epic Touch (sgs2 for Sprint). It's just a buggy piece of crapware.

There was a fix for GB roms for Epic Touch - replace the vlingo.apk (or something like that, don't remember exact name) with a google voice dialer app (name the same as the one being replaced). I wonder if it still works...
Try reading the OP of this thread, see if changing those settings helps.

@nabbed, how would changing the name of an app before install (which would fail on a lot of apps) help, when the app is installed, svoice will not use that just because it was named what the original app file was named, dosnt work that way.

Sorry, I forgot to add a link, please look again, and read that OP in that thread I linked to.... But like I said, just because you change the name of an app, dosnt mean its called upon by svoice. Now if you unistall vlingo it will use what ever you have installed, no matter what the name of the app is....... Now onto why other apps won't work when the name is changed, well the problem there would be the checks made by the installer to see if anything was messed with, verification checks. That's not true on most google apps, but paid apps, well you may have an issue if you change the name. Just giving some clarification is all.

I don't know what you are talking about. Sorry, you make little sense, if any at all..
I'm confused at both people above
Any other suggestions?....
Again, S Voice works, as in it listens to me and searches for what I ask, but about 90 percent of the time she fails to talk back to me.
For example I'll say set alarm, maybe one in 10 times she will respond spoken, the other 9 times she stays quiet. The phone is not on mute, voice prompt is turned on.

I think the talkback is just an accessibility bug for samsung devices. Only happens when an app is using accessibility.
dev claims to have fixed the Samsung SMS bug. haven't tried it yet.
added several new options. most notably (for me) was the option to use this as the lock screen. went ahead and went premium!

To disable it (and you can do this without root) go into settings - general - apps - all and scroll all the way down to the bottom. You will find vutalk there. Press on it and disable it. And yes it will remain disabled even after reboot.

Viber needs only a few KB/s (or MBs for calls) . Other apps need more ( i don't use and don't know about what's up)
It doesn't need an account. (for hangouts you need to have your friends gmail / fb needs ...fb accounts )
And you can do some funny staff. Draw/emoticons/sound clip
