I hate to bring this up, but no one ever figured anytging about it. Anyways, the stock Samsung keyboard pretty much stopped auto correcting and having issues with a quarter of us who did the ota update to the version previous to lj7, before rooting that is. Now that I'm rooted, after several different ROMs, I can confirm that it's something deeper than what ROMs change.
As in something deeper I mean it's something that doesn't change from ROM to ROM and it remains there no matter what and is completely untouched by common updates. Only 1 happened to corrupt or break it in some way.
Does anyone have a clue of what could be causing this?
Please don't throw the standard nooby trouble shooting questions like factory reset, memory format, flash a different ROM, try to uninstall Samsung keyboard and reinstall a different version of it, just get a 3rd party app, etc. Done it all.
To be clear the issue is only on Samsung keyboards, I just want to find the underlying issue. If I was to go digging around blind in very base system files, I would probably brick my phone. Does any ideas cross anyone's mind besides giving up
Samsung's keyboard has autocorrect disabled it only does suggestions. You need to mod the app to actually get it to insert the words for you.

Yeah actually it is and has been since JB. You can decompile the keyboard apk and change the false value to true and activate autocorrect then recompile it. We've been doing it on the note 2 for a while now since by default the option is disabled at the code level.
Edit: here's the instructions to enable autocorrect and shorten the longpress delay http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2093588

Jb is a **** for that >=( Was all fine until pre jb
Edit: Odd. under system/csc Features.XML, at the very bottom is the option to enable auto correct ( AutoCorrectionDisabled>true< ) i changed that to false and restarted but sadly no change.. =( i searched through the samsungIME.apk and i couldnt really find anything to disable or re-enable =/ Only a bunch of code id have to put in or just replace my apk with the attached which just rapidly force closes on me.

I'm pretty sure it has to do with Samsung's licensing from swiftkey, basically swiftkey wants you to buy the extra features on their keyboard, and only licensed samsung to use basic features such as slide to type and predictions, but not theming and extra features like autocorrect and delay time adjustment etc. Actually the newest swiftkey is identical to Samsung's keyboard only has more features and Samsung has all the code in the keyboard most of it is just disabled by default in the code, bunch of false statements added in to null them out in the settings

Look thru the thread I linked ^^ there and you'll find the code that need to be replaced or edited to get it all working. It's a little bit of a pain(or was) cuz the directions weren't entirely specific about which lines some of the edits were on. I ended up using the search feature in notepad++ to hunt out the lines to change or add. You could try pushing a note 2 keyboard into /system and set permissions on it, but back up your keyboard first incase the notes doesn't work. There's a bunch of themed ones with the AC and longpress mods over in the themes and apps section for sprints note 2. I think your rom needs to be deodexed for them to work. Just don't flash them cuz the updater script is for the note, extract the KB from the zip with something like ES file explorer and then copy it into system and set permissions to rw-r-r and rename your KB to samsungime.bak then reboot. If the note KB does the FC dance just rename your keyboard back to SamsungIME.apk and delete the note KB and reboot, or makesure you have a 3rd party KB installed for emergency use.

Has anyone had success themeing Market apps (just changing png files) with DK28? I have done it numerous times on DI18 with no problem. On DK28 the md5sum in changing and all apps are deleted off the handset. Anyone figure a technique around this?
This is directly a theming question, hence posted in the theme thread, if that's not cool report it to your mod no need in 50 post unless 50 post deal with theming market apps.

i have absolutely no experience actually doing so but from what i have read, you can theme a market app but you have to put it in /system/app due to what you mentioned, i guess market apps all check their own md5 and if its different it bombs.
Thanks. I actually got it straight. I chose not to use the system folder because we dont need to hog the space if its not needed. The trick was to re sign the app, put it on the sd card, delete the app from the phone, and install via astro. Works as intended and pushed most of them to sd card after!

Even after so many leaks, it seems like samsung engineers are not able to make the stock browser do text wrap, is it possible to extract the Evo 4g LTE and install it on our phone as it works perfectly on that phone.
I don't think so as it would be a sense system apk. If someone were to take the time to decompile the apk and make the necessary changes it might work. Dolphin hd is a very nice web browser, and it's free on the market.

Technically, it's possible. But without heavily modifying it to remove the Sense parts, you'll be left with a minimally functioning browser. Better off using a 3rd party one. You can use a custom launcher to change the icon if that's what bothers you. There's literally thousands of icon packs throughout the web.

Thank you, what bothers me is not the icon, but the Auto Fit ( wrap) text option, working in EL29, and not working in any of ICS leaks...If I install opera, it works in Opera , so I am sure its Samsung Issue..Makes me doubt samsung's team's expertise, and makes me lean more towards Evo LTE

pull the AOSP browser from cm9 and use something like file manager/root explorer to move it to the system/app folder.. change permissions and try that one, i use it and i think text wrap works pretty well for most websites. plus the extended quick controls are money.

hit back key, long press on the browser apk you downloaded and hit copy, hit up twice (or enough times till the folder selected is "/") , select system->app
rename "secbrowser.apk" to secbrowser.bak or whatever you like, paste the copied browser, long press on it and select permissions, in the second column deselect group/others. hit menu softkey->settings-> turn off root explorer
if all went well, you should now have the aosp browser in your app drawer
if you dont like, and want to revert changes... just go back and rename secbrowser to apk and delete (or rename the browser.apk->bak) the one you pasted earlier

Yes that is what I wanted...give me some time I will install EL29 take a screen shot and then install ICS an take a screen shot and will let you know...I am surprised that it works on EVO LTE out of the box and does not even after samsung guys working or not working on it for so long...There are a few things like this which I am using to decide which phone to buy next SG3 or EVO LTE as I measure the support and response of the manufacturer by these kind of user issues and consistency they provide.
EL29 vs ICS FF text auto wrap
here I am posting my screen shots...
ICS screen shots
ICS does not even allow pinch zoom..so not sure how to explain...but then that is also the main point...how can i stop pinch zooming suddenly only on this phone?
Have u tried ICS browser or ICS browser + from the playstore? Both are the stock browser but modified, they work well for me but I don't use tw ICS leaks I'm using AOkP

I'm not rooted at the moment...but I will be after the JB update...how would I go about subbing the frogs for something better?
If you use a file explorer to pull the system/app/Mms.apk from your phone, you decompile this file and put it back together. However just to change the emoticons this is overkill.
You can open the APK in WinRar, navigate to the res\drawable-xhdpi folder, and replace all the emo_ PNG files with whatever 48x48 emoticon you want. Probably could use the Emoji files that relate and just copy/rename them.
Then find an empty flashable Zip, put it in there, flash from recovery and you're good to go.
I would just like to make a note here that they are not frogs but the android guy, also emotes are specific to phone so only you see those emotes any other phone sees their own emotes.

Correct. Problem is I can't tell what they're supposed to be most of the time.
Either way, due to the darn noses in the emoticons, they are hardly ever seen beyond my outgoing messages (since very few people use noses in emoticons).

This seems plausible to me...
4. If you running an N7100/7105 rom and have already flashed the nfc fix file or used the nfc files from it, then it is too late. If you recall using those files causes android to upgrade some 270+ files on first reboot. Once that occurs I believe that 4.1.1 apks and lib files makes fundamental changes to a bunch of other apps (like camera, gallery, and etc) which is causing the nfc force closes. You must start fresh again.

To answer your question, no, it's not this easy. Lockscreen simply does not fall into a certain file or folder. It is tied into framework-res, SystemUI, and Settings.apk. Removing as much as you can will likely break Android OS as this is a system level thing and is tightly integrated. Your only option is disabling. If you can't disable it thru settings, where you set it to none but it's still slide to unlock, you can use Tasker and an on-boot profile to disable keyguard action. That will cause your device to show launcher when you click power button.
Hope this helps,
