I did an Input Key Event 4(11) - Key Down and Up action...

...but it won't close a Gboard keyboard, like hitting my Back key will. How come?

I want a setting to slightly advance or retard the time or distance before turn announcements

I don't know whether my phone"s GPS is a little inaccurate, or a lag in processing, but Waze always gives me that final, e.g., "Turn left" right when I"m already in the middle of the intersection. I need maybe 5–10 sec. earlier. I want to be able to adjust that.

I need a way to adjust my Gboard key repeat rate

(not delay until repeat)
I am rooted, and have Magisk & LSPosed, but I'm fine with ADB/Terminal command line solutions. Is there a utility app?

During today's (Mon Aug 3) TorBox downtime, I had plenty of playable search hits from the Cxsmo EasyNews package.

I thought — possibly erroneously — that it could only play cached (and maybe also initiate caching of) TorBox videos. If so, then maybe TorBox wasn't completely down?

LMK Controller lingering questions

I still don't fully understand how to use LMK Controller — a lot of its GitHub description:
https://github.com/ferrdishx/LMK-Controller
...is over my head, so here's my use case:

My Pixel 4a (5G) phone has 6 GB RAM, but Android's draconian memory management is notorious for killing apps & forcing refreshes, even with plenty of free RAM. ("Don't Kill My Apps!") So Low Memory isn't really my problem — can LMK Controller help me?

Does adding apps to its whitelist help keep apps & services (app-associated daemons) alive even while not in low-RAM conditions?

I'm not sure how to pick the right Mode for my use case.
– Performance is, "Aggressive kills. Max RAM for the foreground app."
– Default is, "Conservative thresholds. More apps kept in background."
– (Stability falls in-between.)

Will Default be the best Mode for keeping alive the background apps I switch between?

What's the deal with Comet?

How come sooo many Comet titles crap-out immediately upon selecting from the Syncler search hits list? (Magnify package, TorBox.)... It's with the same error message as on Real Debrid titles with the little triangle exclamation point icon ever since the debacle some weeks ago.

Heads-up! If you're self-hosting the Providra server app on the same device as Syncler, it will hog port 8080 — the default port for inter-process-communication with Kodi when used as your default external player — and prevent it from playing videos by Syncler.

Change the port in Kodi settings > Services > Control > Allow Remote Control via HTTP/Port to, say, 8082... then with Kodi still running, in Syncler settings > Playback > Player/Kodi > Setup, select Kodi, then if you scroll down a little, you'll see it automatically set the port to what you just did in Kodi. Done!

Alternatively, you can change the port Providra uses in its settings. But you then MUST uninstall/re-install with Run Default Setup the Providra package in Syncler for any change to take effect — NOT merely do an Update Package!

Do updates' downloaded APK installation files get automatically deleted afterward?

If not, where are they, so I can delete them in my file manager?

Call for all of you to make an en masse feedback campaign to preserve Alexa Request Sounds

It seems that firmware updates are being rolled-out that remove Request Sounds. (The little chimes that acknowledge your wake word, and after a command is completed.)

You won't believe what a user-hostile loss this is until it happens to you!... And it's mission-critical for the blind.

Some are saying that it's a bug that will be remedied in a future update, but others are saying that it's on purpose, and Request Sounds are being phased-out.

Please consider making a feedback plea for reversing this abomination.

[ EDIT ] June 19:
My Request sounds were back when I woke-up this morning. I guess they pushed-out another firmware update overnight.

I'm on the official store checkout page, and earlier it said I could make my key payment in Litecoin, but I can't see how to change its address from Bitcoin to Litecoin.

What did I do wrong?

Will someone who knows Coinbase please walk me through what I must have done wrong trying to pay for something? I bought Litecoin on Coinbase and tried to transfer it to my Coinbase wallet ("Base") but there's $0 in my wallet, and my Coinbase transfers shows it went to some address I-don't-know-who-it-is.

[ EDIT ] [ SOLVED ]
On a lark, I cleared the Base app's cache, which made the switch-to-legacy toggle appear in my profile, and after switching to legacy, voilà, my funds appeared!

Trakt v3.8.2 add-on stopped working

Kodi 21.2...
It worked when I first installed it; it always put-up its icon when starting a video, and indicated scrobbling when pausing.

Then it stopped working. I re-authorized my Trakt account in its config, and I see my username.

I can't figure out what's up.

Also, what happens when I do a Run? I never could tell what Run does, even when it was working.

If I put Easynews++ directly in Nuvio instead of in AIOStreams, am I safe from a ban?

(I'm brand new to Usenet, and don't really understand the ban situation.... I gather it's from them seeing one IP address scraping when it's in AIOStreams, and another when playing the video from Nuvio?)

I'm going to try using panteLx's discontinued Easynews++ as long as it holds out.

Is Syncler's catalogs, is Trakt "History" the same as what's called Trakt "Watched" in other apps & add-ons?

Or are History and Watched two separate things?

memo: I know that Trakt "Watching" is a separate category from "Watched."

My Echo suddenly stopped making its Start of Request & End of Request sounds

My other Echo still makes those acknowledgement beeps when using the wake-word & after the command is completed.

I tried disabling and re-enabling in:

Alexa app (Android mobile) > Devices > my Echo Plus > ⚙ (settings) > General/Sound > Request Sounds/Start of Request & End of Request (toggles)

...but it didn't bring them back. I also unplugged the Echo to no avail. And I asked her (Alexa+) about it, and she said she had no control over it directly, and to use the Alexa app.

Has this ever happened to you? How do I get the beeps back?
