This is two questions separate actually.
• Has anyone figured out a way to force the speech-to-text button on the Samsung Keyboard to be the default as appose to the Handwriting button?
I really like the Samsung Keyboard layout / features, so I'd like to stick with that keyboard if all possible. The button is the only thing I don't like. Next question...
• When I odin back to stock, I can get the 4.1.2 update no problem, but the next update usually takes a day before I'm able to download it. Is there an up-to-date stock firmware release yet? Or at least to 4.1.2 Multi-Window. Or possibly another way around this, where I don't have to wait for 24 hour update check?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Howdy....
I have a few questions that I'm hoping you can shed some light on....thanks in advance!
1) My home button jumps to the 3rd homescreen. This is different than on my previous Galaxy SII. Any way to get it to jump to the first homescreen?
2) When I switch to SVOX Classic TTS, and use Google navigation, each voice response goes on for 2 minutes talking about http this and that, with lots of garbled words. Sounds like it's describing an XML or HTML web page. Has anyone else seen this?
3) Chome to Phone is crashing. Is this just an update thing I need to wait for?
4) Jump Desktop also crashes... Also an update thing?
Thanks for any help you can offer!
Best,
Ben
Since I can't help with the other questions.. I will just go ahead and say that yes, the home button jumping to the third homescreen is normal.. Touchwiz does it differently, which is why the behavior is different.

Just to add most android phones I've had (two HTC and now the GNex) and the customs roms I've used (Sense, Blur, Vanilla, Liquid Metal), pressing the home button always led to the middle Homescreen. Samsung I guess really did copy i*hone (as much as I hate to say it).
2) Yes, I've experienced this as well - newest Maps and SVOX Classic with the U.S. English "Grace" voice. From earlier TTS problems I recall that it's explicitly logged (viewable with logcat) what is sent to the TTS engine, so maybe this could provide some clue.
3) Chrome To Phone works well for me, on all iterations of ICS (stock and custom) that I've tested.
4) Jump Desktop also crashes... Also an update thing?

We've fixed this crash. It was an ICS only crash.
Grab the latest Jump Desktop update (2.6.11+) on the market and you should be good to go!
Thanks for the responses...
Jump Desktop works fine now! Thanks for the update!
Still hoping for a SVOX TTS Update.
Is there any way to re-arrange the homescreens. Now that I have screen 1 setup, it's a bummer that I'll need to switch everything over to #3 to get it working. This is what happens when you migrate from a Galaxy S II. Is there an app that lets you switch home screens around? or the like?
Chrome 2 Phone seems to work now. Not sure what my issue was.
Used 4.2 stock for a few days, it was absolutely terrible, so I re-flashed back to stock 4.1.2, and my phone works beautifully again.
However I now cannot live without the 4.2 gesture swiping keyboard that came with the new update.
I have searched high and low for this keyboard but all that comes up is an "early version" of the 4.2 keyboard from late oct, and it turns out its quite different from the actual 4.2 keyboard that google put out..
The 4.2 keyboard that is easily available is not nearly as accurate and has this large cartoon looking bubble text that hovers over your swiping. I have this installed now, but its just not as accurate. The official one is substantially better in this regard.
Does anyone know where to find the "actual" 4.2 keyboard that came as part of the official update?
I am running 4.1.2 yakju stock, unlocked and unrooted.

Thanks a ton, this was it. My keyboard accuracy is back, no more non sense!
Any idea if its also possible to flash in 4.2's google now updates?
Well I purchased a couple of i927r's from newegg, got them updated to ICS, rooted. Decided to go with JB rootbox as it seemed to be what I wanted, simple, effective. Just got both phones activated on ST recently, so far been liking them. But a couple issues I am having with them are primarily related to the digital keyboard. I don't really plan on using the physical keyboard much...the phone was at the right price so I guess it's there if I need to use it. But whenever I try to use the digital keyboard for mms, email, searching I hit one letter and it closes. If you keep tapping the word, the keyboard will come back up, but eventually closing again, usually a few keystrokes later.
Both phones do this, both have the most recent rootbox update via goomanager and teamwin. I would post this in the dev thread, but alas I do not have enough posts to. I am searching, but I can't seem to find an answer. I do like the stock digital keyboard, maybe I should try a different one? Anyone else have this issue? The physical keyboard is okay, but I prefer the digital one even on the smaller screen. Thanks for your time.
Have you tried different keyboards.just saying you can try Swype? Or another from the market and see if it still does it.

The default keyboard crashes when used. It is recommended that a third party keyboard is used until the bug is resolved. There's a fair number available on the play store. Avoid any that are directly based on the jelly bean keyboard
Been hunting around for a possible fix for this and I figured it was time to ask on the Q&A forum.
My problem is that with the official samsung keyboard for the tab S 10.5 the recent apps button (on the keyboard, not the tablet itself) doesn't work on certain roms, although it does however work on the stock rom.
Is there a file that I need to edit to bind that key to the recent apps function? Or am I out of luck?
Thanks for taking the time to read about my problem. :good:
I know there have been other questions about the Samsung Keyboard after the last Update. I emailed them about the screw ups and difficulty in using it. I got an email back and going to add it to this post.
They admitted to knowing of the issues and refuses to repair the problem's they created. And they've also blocked the ability to add new word to the Samsung keyboard and blocked ANY and All offensive wording. (Like I'm 12 years old, and didn't just turn 35 on Aug 22.)
Here's a question to moders or Rom builders.
Can you remove the Samsung Keyboard app only from the Stock build for 5.5.1? I'd love to downgrade to the Samsung keyboard before the forced update, when everything was working fine and we controlled our own autocorrection or wording.
Like I said the attachment's below has the email they sent back to me about the problems I was having and still am having with the keyboard. I know most people will tell me to try a different one, but I really enjoy the stock Samsung keyboard the best of them all. Especially the layout and able to adjust for touch, I've got fat fingers and have a screen cover on it too.
Thanks to any and all help to everybody,

Nobody has the keyboard? How about a ROM for 5.1.1?
