Hi, can anybody suggest me a screen rotating application where I can choose the applications & also things like dialer, lock screen, email, messaging etc. manually, that I want to rotate.
And before any1 asks me to use changescreen, I have already used it, but the interface is really poor. Can't understand a damn thing on how to choose specific applications & utilities to rotate...
I use MobileMagic to rotate the screen and launch applications via rotation of the screen ...

Press on "show name apps"

on each application that you open up the name of it, choose an application, go changescreen, press on "stop", press on "exception", press to top on "add"

Newb Programming Question

Firstly, I apologize for so a terribly novice question; I have looked and googled but part of my problem is I believe I am asking the question wrong.
So, I am just trying to build a VERY simple wp7 program. Main page would have several buttons, which pressing would take you to a page with information on the topic of the button you just pushed, and with another button back to the home screen. Again, very simple. For example, it could be an app of The Rolling Stones, and each button would be a link to a band member's small bio. Nothing too fancy, just dipping my toes.
My problem is I cannot find the action I need to attribute to a button. I can build the home screen and add buttons and text easy enough, and make the other "pages" or screens, but I do not know how to make the button navigate to those pages. And every search I do results in explanations of how to add web links, which is not what I want to do.
Sorry for the newb question, but I appreciate all responses and advice.
There are several ways to do the job:
1. - Define "Click" event for Button (double click on button in designer or on events properties);
- Add "using System.Windows.Navigation;" at the top of your main page .cs file;
- Add "NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri("/NewPage.xaml", UriKind.Relative));" to the "Click" event handler
2. - Open you page in Expression Blend;
- In the "Assets" (left top corner) window select "Behaviors";
- drag "NavigateToPageAction" to your button;
- fill "TargetPage" property (at the right top corner)
3. You may also manually edit your page.xaml source (see the source changes after using method 2)
Put any Button on the Page, simply Double Click that button, this will generate by Default a Click Action Event Handler, in this write the following
NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri("PageName.xaml", UriKind.Relative));
also, you should NOT add buttons to go back, developers are encouraged to have users using the hardware key for going back as you are simply adding more and more to the Navigation Stack which is responsible for keeping track of the users Navigation through Apps, kind of like your Web Browser, you navigate to google,. then 10 pages later, and if you navigate back by URL rather than the built in "GoBack" function for the browser, you end up clicking the back button a hundred times going forward to the page you stopped looking for information then to every page in between which you navigated through to get to that information, it just uses more Memory and for a users experience you should not use buttons that go back let the user control the flow
Good luck on your app mate

speech to text in webbrowser?

There is a little microphone on my keyboard in messaging but when i go to webbrowser it goes away... How do i use it in my web browser?
Running Gummy 1.2.0 with gapps
Speech in Browser
It should still be there.
Here is where you'll find it
1) You can enter URLs by speech if you tab the URL bar and click the microphone icon.
2) On the Google keyboard it'll be on the left hand side
3) If you're using swipe it'll be on the lower right
4) Lastly, if you long hold down in the entry box you can choose the speech input method from your notification bar (not entirely intuitive)
I hope that helps.

Themes / Apps / Mods REMAP GOOGLE ASSISTANT SWIPE GESTURE TO ANY APP OF YOUR PREFERENCE

NOTE:: IT'S NOT A CLICKBAIT POST, TO HELP YOU REMAP THE GOOGLE ASSISTANT BUTTON IN MOTOROLA, NOKIA DEVICES
Check the "sample video" posted below
That can be possible only if the manufacturer allows that button to be remappable through a software update
BTW
THIS TUTORIAL IS REGARDING REMAPPING OF "SWIPE UP GOOGLE ASSISTANT GESTURE"
STEPS are down below
I have attached a video tutorial as well
1)Install "Assist Mapper" attached in this post below
or download the app from the play store using this link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=amirz.assistmapper
2) Open the app
3) tap on the first option "default digital assistant app"
4) you will see, 3 options will be available
None
Assist Mapper
Google
by default "google" is already selected
But we need to change that to assist mapper, so tap on "Assist Mapper"
5) A disclaimer will pop up, reminding about privacy
tap "ok"
6)NOW, an important step
go back by tapping the back arrow on the top left side
again tap on the back arrow
then you will be directed to a page
7)This is the list of apps installed on your device
Search the app of your preference and select
NOTE: the search bar results will be confusing
But you need to select the app which is titled in BOLD Letters
For example: Search "camera"
you will find multiple camera apps with different directories
Select the one which is in BOLD letters, as in the "IMAGE 1"
you are done
NOTE: this will not remap your dedicated google assistant button
_To return back to google assistant
_just press the dedicated assistant button
_you will be asked to set the assistant button to google assistant instead of the assistant mapper selected before
Thanks
This is incredibly useful!
Do you know if it is possible to map the back button to the assistant gesture?
are you talking about the navigation arrow key
the back button?
if yes
then I am sorry I don't know how to do that
checkout custom ROM post
nice post btw
do you know if this can be mapped to open/access quick settings?
Hi, do you know how to do this after android 12 ? Seems that this button is physically wired to open only google assist, no other apps work, even after being selected as the default assistant apps
