- Turning the screen on/off is spoken. This announcement includes the ringer mode/volume.
- Changes in the the ringer mode - silent, vibrate, and normal are now announced.
- Unlocking the phone is announced.
- Other Android applications can programmatically discover if TalkBack is enabled.
Eyes-Free Shell
Now that applications can programmatically discover whetherTalkBack has been enabled, configuring Eyes-Free shell to become your default home screen has become a lot easier. In a nutshell,if you are a TalkBack user and install Eyes-Free shell, hitting the Home button will bring up the eyes-free shell, ---no configuration needed. Note that you can always get to the default Android home screen by long-pressing the Back button.
