[Q] Keyboard, google search and facebook - Galaxy Ace S5830 General

hi, im new to this forum
i bought the galaxy ace with a mexican mobile operator called "telcel" but i don't have 2 things in this phone....
im using default froyo 2.2.1 and im root
i would like to know where to get them...
1.- Default Froyo Keyboard
i only have samsung and swype keyboards, i know there are a lot of keyboards in the market, including the gingerbread one but its kinda buggy sometimes... i really want the default froyo keyboard
2.- Google Search
i have a "Search" widget.. but i can't get it to work with google... it uses z.telcel.mobi as search engine... even if i install the google search widget it uses z.telcel.mobi as search engine
3.- Facebook
i need an app with working notifications... the oficial facebook app doesn't shows me any notifications (only shows me some with manual update)

On 1. You can use "Smart Keyboard" from Android Market. It supports styles like
a) Iphone b) GB c) Froyo/Android etc. Its a best alternate for getting Froyo Keyboard on ur device.
On 2. and 3. I don't have much idea mate.

download "slideit keyboard" from market. and then download persian language for slideit keyboard. may b persian is available for other keyboards also but i have personally seen it for slideit keyboard only.

Connecting letters depends on your rom. At very first check out that your browser shows Persian sites like gooya correctly or not, then try MultiLing or SlideIt Keyboard. Its available in market and you don't need any font to install.
By the way you need to flash your phone with cyanogenmod rom to read Persian letters connected together (at least I experienced it by myself).
For non-cm7 ROMs, the letters may not appear connected.
1. Use Opera Mini browser for browsing persian / RTL sites: it render the text with connected letters but still there are some block characters due to non-supported unicode type character. but text is readable
2. Use "Mirsal" (you can find it in Android Market: and use this app for messaging, it works perfectly and support RTLs with arabic/persian/urdu language keyboards
Hey guys,
This dude here introduced a font:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=689811
I already rooted my SGS II i9100G.
The problem is I have no idea about steps he said to install that font.
Currently im using Juffo Rom which support persian language but has some issue:
it shows "گ" instead of "ک" and the letter "ژ" has not been defined.
any help?
techopedia.net/files/Iranian%20Sans-irsans.tar.bz2 is a full featured font for Persian (that as far as I know designed for android by farsitel group). I suggest you to use it
i am gonna help you out this time only coz you are kermooni
i assume you want farsi on a sense rom, 2.3 cyano already has support
the whole font thingy fits into two categories:
1. web based font processing (web browser and gmail and such)
if rooted: just search "brightidea" in market, install and run the patcher and you are good to go. i made a request to the author and he made the patcher compatible with any wildfire sense 2.2. credits to him
if not rooted: as mentiond your best bet is to use a browser like opera, unfortunately gmail wont work and i dont know any workarounds for it.
2. frame work (system menus, contacts, sms and such)
if rooted: search for DK CUSTOM rom in development section, there is an optional patch that takes care of the problem.
if not rooted: i am afraid there isnt much to do to remedy this, at least there is no way to take care of the problem completely.
you can use multilang keyboard to type in farsi regardless of all this, the above solutions are to properly read farsi.
side note: the reason you can easily type well connected words with multilang is that it takes care of the processing and connecting them before saving them, thus there is no need for the operation system to reprocess them again, it just reads them and shows them as they are. but if you try to read words that have not been processed by a program like multilang, like the text on websites then since these ones are not processed to be shown connected the OS just reads them as they are thus you see separated letters. the above solutions help OS to be able to process and connect the letters on its own.
let me know if you need help

[Q] Speech/Voice input

Hi,
I am using CM7.1 B^N version and i want to use speech to text service of google, which usually show up when i press the mic icon in the keyboard. now the thing is i see no mic icon in the keyboard and i dont know how to enable it and if i try to download and use iris from the market it says no voice input service found and stuff like that.
i did the search and found that i need https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.voicesearch to work on my mobile but when i try to install it it says (This app is incompatible with your Motorola MB860).
Any suggestion what to do ?
EDIT: i have found why i was unable to download it cos it is the part of gapps and i have skipped or installed small version of apps and that dont have it. just extracted the apk from full version gapps and now its working just fine.
Try downloading a keyboard from the Android Market. There are many good free ones. This should solve your problem if the keyboard you download has the speech recognition key on it. If not, download other keyboards which do have it (look at the photos of the keyboards before downloading).
If this solves your problem, don't forget to leave a thanks.

search contacts in google search bar ics

I cant seem to find the option to enable search contacts in searchable items from google search bar after upgrading my xperia s to ics.. Why did they remove that feature?? It makes life harder for me to send sms and make calls!
true
This is idiotic. I too have Xperia mini pro with 4.0.4 and it works. But on XPS it doesn't even appear in searchable items. Any thoughts?
Anyone has any ideas on this subject? I've updated to latest UK firmware and this issue is still not fixed. How do you search your contacts? It's annoying to use Contacts application ONLY.
Me too
I also have this problem on my acro S, norwegian version, ICS 4.0.4.
Does anyone know if this is in Sony's firmware or if it's an Android thing?

Suspect it has to do with Asspple patent.
Try Aurora Universal Search - it is an addon to the Google Search Bar, and it allow you to search Contacts and a few others more things from your phone.

ICS Voice Search ARMv6 and Google Now

Voice Search seems to work fine in ICS if you grab it from the store, it just doesn't come up on the stock keyboard. If you try to activate the icon in the input settings, it appears, then disappears. However, if you use a different keyboard, such as GO Keyboard or Swype, the icon shows up, and voice to text input works fine. I understand that some keyboards use their own voice search, but I believe GO uses your ICS voice search, and an older version of Swype does as well. Smart Keyboard seems like the simplest and most elegant replacement, but I haven't tested it yet.
Now then, I just read about ICS Google Now Voice Search for ARMv6 devices in this post. Does anyone know if this works for Aria?

[Q] updated to JB, but no google now

my friend's S3 recently received an update to JB. he updated it through Kies. He decided to test the new feature of the google search app called Google Now but he cant see it. Going to the settings of the said app, there should be an option for Google NOw there, but in his phone, there is none. Even the UI which is supposed to show mountains and cards is not in his S3's google search app, his is just plain search box UI.
What could be are the problems?
Look at your apps, it's simply called Google. (blue box, white G) and when launched it gives some info on Google now and asks if you want to use it. In Applications Manager it says Google Search.

Nope, it did not ask any questions whether we would like to use Google NOw
THE ANSWER IS: language of phone should be English(UNited States)...tsk tsk..
Well the language of my phone us English (United Kingdom), but thanks for your comment, I hope you get any further help you need with that kind of attitude.
