How to mod keyboard colors? - Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps

Hi guys,
yesterday i saw a picture of the Galaxy tab keyboard and i like the colors very much.
I downloaded a Galaxy Tab ROM and decompiled both Galaxy S (with depencies) and Galaxy Tab's AxT9IME.apk.
I copied the desired pictures to my original AxT9IME folder.
After that i recompiled it and pushed it into /system/app.
Now the Keyboard disappeared. Its not in the list of input methods anymore.
I also tried to color the original files, but then i get force closes when i choose the samsung keyboard.
Can you help me, please? What am i doing wrong?

can help with the screwed up phone.. try reflashing.. but next time instead of trying to mod the keyboard that way, use the custom htc keyboard works great and you can customize your own keyboard here

My phone isn't screwed. Its just the keyboard, but i backed it up before.
And i already tried the htc ime, but it doesn't have multitouch.
By the way, using another keyboard can't be the solution, i want the samsung keyboard with different colors. The guys out there do such crazy things with the software, so i can't believe there is no possibility to do what i want to do.

Personal dictionary shortcut aka text expander

Hey guys,
im a big fan of the xperia keyboard i believe everything suits my preference except for the text expansion/shortcut in the personal dictionary, i dunno how to activate it or make it work, i already keyed in so many shortcuts like, omw - on my way, but still if i type the shortcut, the word doesnt expand. i was using google keyboard but for lack of better dictionary and other function, i still love the xperia keyboard except this hurdle.
thanks in advance!
Did you find any solution for this issue? I'm facing it on my Xperia sp. It doesn't work for the Google keyboard as well on this phone. I even tried kika keyboard thinking that it'll work, but nope. Please help if you solved it.

[Q] how to change keyboards

I have a few keyboards on my Tab S, but i can't find a way of switching between them.
I can see in my settings that i have Swiftkey, swype and the default samsung one, which it is stuck on. .. i can select either in the settings>General> Language but it doesn't affect the actual keyboard when i come to write things. .. is there a shortcut, or a setting to change the keyboards?
Otherwise, it seems the only way would be to uninstall, then reinstall. .. which seems bonkers. .
Help .. Thanks
I can change my keyboard just fine. Settings, general, language and input, then I just touch the box next the the keyboard i want and then hit default (above the samsung keyboard and pick the one i want. Heres a pictures. Maker sure you change the default to the keyblard you want.
ahh.. the default button... Obviously! Yeah.
Doh!
Thanks..

[Q] Samsung keyboard

Wheree are the default symbols on the keyboard like ! ? This keyboard sucks is there no options? Also it's not predictive typing remembering what I use often like email address when I start typing. This keyboard sucks from the one that came on my Samsung Galaxy S5 phone. Is there any damn settings in this keyboard at all or do I have to go download one?
Try holding the " , comma" down.
I installed the Google keyboard from the play store as i can change it to black instead of the white Samsung one.
John.
thanks would of never figured out to use comma

Anybody know how to switch Emojis? (Mostly solved now, but still need help)

I tried using the Emoji switcher app but that didn't work. I've also tried flashing emoji zips, but that didn't work neither.
EDIT: I managed to get it to work by renaming hTC_ColorEmoji.ttf to TC_ColorEmoji.ttf so the phone wouldn't be able to find the HTC emojis. But then I noticed that there were a few emojis that were black and white. So I went /system/etc and followed the steps from here (in the spoilers). All the new emojis show up just fine now, but I can't get the diverse skin tones to show up like I was able to on my Galaxy S6 Edge, if anyone could help me out with that. I would greatly appreciate it!
your keyboard has to support the skin tones. if you have the latest version of the google keyboard it supports them with a long press of the emojis that have skin tone alternatives.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm aware of that. Unfortunately, it still won't work.
Sent from my HTC 10 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I have them working on mine. What I did was find the emoji file I wanted, make three copies of it, name one notocoloremoji, htc_coloremoji, and hkgcsh00d. Copy those three files to system/fonts, and reboot. For some reason I have to make sure the background in keys setting is off, but it works perfectly for me now.

Using Tab S2 Multiwindow Files - Posible? How to?

Tab S 10.1 owner here, I wanted to fix and test the following.
1: Fix
The current 4 way Multiwindow Files i use are from the .zip someone posted from one of the roms a few years back, they essentially took the 4waymultiwindow Files from one of the Samsung Note devices, not sure if it was IronRom or SuperV5 ( i forget name, i apologize). Since then we have received the Lollipop update and the icons of the apps when minimized have black pixels around them, they normally minimize to a ring with just a circular app icon that floats on your screen. <See attachment>
2: Test
The current multiwindow on the Tab S2 supports 5 windows and the minimize icons work correctly, would it be safe to assume that simply replacing the following files:
Com.sec.feature.multiwindow.freestylelaunch.xml
Com.sec.feature.multiwindow.quadview.xml
Com.sec.feature.multiwindow.scaleapp.xml
Default location on Tab S:
System/etc/permissions
Would port those features to the Tab S? Has anyone tried this yet? I'm currently waiting for someone from the S2 forums to provide me the files but I would like to hear some input and see if anyone has already tried it and could provide feed back?
Has anyone been able to correct the black pixels around the icon when minimized on the original 4waymultiwindow zip I have attached on Lollipop?
Thanks!
