No ..because I used a previous clockwidget translation...

Tip: good to set a button for MeXplorer ( like "M", or "Volume"key) with Maintain.
So, if you use a translation and your MiniOneShell.exe doesnt start, you can still open Mexplorer and rename & copy back original file and restart.

when i use you phone setting i cant save number

Physical buttons not working on original M8!

Except in one case where the home button works: when task manager has been dragged down.

Edit: Works after restart.

I just noticed, that handwriting in chinese keyboard can read english alphabet ...is this new?

I don't remember it worked with english alphabet...altough really hard to use and very slow. Try inputting "t" for example. But nice anyway, I guess they could do a just english version of it.

Is the download manager new in this version?

...and I posted this app some 2 day ago here in the forum, now it is itegrated in the new leak.
See here: M8 screen problem
So, is this an app of a meizu developer, or is meizu collecting apps for new leaks ??

But the Touchscreencalibration is not new......this function have all touchscreenphones with CE...

You can find it under System->Stylus->Calibration

the same App...


And I had this option on my First Edtion FW 9.27 - 9.38 too...

I'm just curious to know if the final version of the new UI is expected to have landscape mode SMS. Fancy widgets and eye-candy changes are nice, but for me, the ability to have native SMS landscape mode is pretty important [considering the M8 supports it in other areas]. Its something thats been needed and requested since the initial FW.
Anyone know if its likely to be supported in the future?

I would bet on it ! 100%...it´s not a difficult code to do in the source for Meizu, they are just holding it for final one

Don't know I'm not too optimistic about it...but for now you can try this app: Meizu Me - Downloads - M8Typer_05_engl for new UI works well
One thing I'm looking forward to is multi-touch keyboard...

Happens on SE aswell. Probably every second or third restart.


@rori: What do you use to edit MiniOneShell.exe? I've tried two different resource editors, but neither have all the strings, including those for "Drag up to unlock desktop" and "I'm Meizu".

Thanks
