Go to evo settings.. Go to input.and keyboards and make sure your keyboard you want to use is checked.. Then do the long press in a txt field..

Press the settings icon on keyboard. Turn the predictive text ON. In predictive text settings, check 'Personalised Data'. See whether it's working now...

Not a problem. I love that app. I use it to take notes when I have my browser open to a research page or a text message. I love the whole "window" feature.

Well if you're on a cm10 ROM, go into settings and assign the long press menu function to "voice search" and then I'll mod the apk to add the ability to launch it from holding the menu button.

Haha yeah it's not possible in touchwiz. I believe the long press menu function acts as a regular search button single press. I'm certain that could be changed but I'm not sure I never ran touchwiz. what version of floating note do you have?

I am on CM10 and was able to change my long press menu button to function as long press search. If you can get me your android.policy.jar file i should be able to change it. it might take some time though im not 100 percent sure what to change.

[Q] Stock keypad

Does anyone have or know where to get the stock keypad apk for messaging? I like to have the numbers at the top like it had from the factory...the skynote rom also had the same keypad, so maybe i can pull the apk from it and push it to any other rom that i am using? Where would it be located at if so? The system folder is where the apk's are for the apps but i dont see anything for mms or messaging...

I used it on aosp, and it works as advertised, good alternative. I just got used to the symbols on the keys, that's why I used it.

[Q] Enter key on Kii keyboard?

I'm using Kii keyboard and for some reason the enter key is also the send key and I don't like that. I want it to be the enter key. is anyone else using this keyboard and can help me out. I've looked in the settings for the keyboard and unless I missed it I just couldn't find anything about it. Thanks

If you don't like it, try another keyboard that doesn't have that option.

I don't think it's possible. To much Samsung stuff. Libs and frameworks stuff make it not possible.

It wont run on a non Touchwiz rom since it is dependent upon the framework. You can try it if you like, check out the link in my sig.

There is a way to make AOSP keyboard show numbers on top. Under advanced setting in keyboard add Custom input style English (PC). There is step by step instructions some where here on XDA, just do a search.

Kii keyboard has the ability to place numbers on the top row.

Check out my screen shots.. this keyboard is awesome. Its resizable you get your numbers and its also themeable to your liking. The only thing that is missing is swype. It is called a.I keyboard. I'm running 4.2.2

This is a handy workaround. Thanks. However, this setting also has punctuation keys on the right, making all the keys smaller. My perference would be for a true Note 2 type keyboard, though as of yet it's not available for 4.2. I'll use this in the meantime, though. The info is appreciated.
