Is there any way to incorporate the 5th row of just numbers from the Samsung keyboard into the Google keyboard? I looked in options and didn't see anything. I prefer Google's keyboard for the better autocorrect, but I use the row of numbers far too much to want to give it up. Currently running as full stock.

So I'd like to use apex launcher instead of the stock TW jedi launcher. I tried, and I end up having spen difficulties. When pulling it out, I don't get a shortcut pop up like I'm used to. Any way to fix that?
Also, I hate the keyboard. I'm so used to SwiftKey that I don't want to switch over, but I really do make use of the handwriting recognition.
Halp!

The stock keyboard *is* Swiftkey. Turn on "Predictive text" in the keyboard settings, and then click on the words "Predictive text" to get to the Swiftkey learning screen (learn from Gmail, FB, Twitter - it always learns from SMS). Kinda hard to find, but the stock keyboard works as Swiftkey for word prediction afterwards.
Also, if you use handwriting recognition a lot, from the keyboard setings, press on the word to "Handwriting" and try changing the "Recognition type" setting from the default "Stroke recognition" to "Complete recognition." You may find the "Complete" recognition much easier to use; I did.
The problem is, the stock keyboard isn't autocorrecting words. It'll provide suggestions of correct words, but it won't do anything if I'm off by even one letter. I can't seem to find a setting for this either. That's really the only thing preventing me from using it.
Ah, true, sorry. I can't find it either. I always had that option disabled in SwiftKey so I didn't notice that the option was missing.
I'm pretty quick to type so I always get typos lol. I don't even know why Samsung would even implement a keyboard without auto correction...

I assume your refering to Page Buddy. It a feature of TW and won't come up if your running another launcher.
You can go into settings>S Pen and click "Open Popup Note" it note will pop up when the S Pen is removed.
Hope that helps.
Yes I figured out the pagebuddy dilemma, guess I'll just add the widget if I really needed it.
As far as keyboards go, I still want to be able to use handwriting recognition, but that option isn't available in the standard SwiftKey as a toggle/button on the bottom like it is in the Samsung keyboard. I wish the Samsung keyboard would just have auto correction like all the others out there..

I'm in the same boat. I like SwiftKey, but it takes a lot of the functionality out of the S-pen. The stock keyboard isn't horrible, and the predictive type is actually pretty good, but it's not SwiftKey. The other negative is that SwiftKey predictions don't show up in notes, which ends up making it worse than stock.
What I would love is some kind of version of SwiftKey that allows for handwriting recognition.
I just wish I could make a space bar insert the correction on the stock keyboard. I like the number row, but am used to just pounding through typos.

I feel so antiquated. I still opt for t9 input over almost anything else.

I would love to help you, but help yourself first: ask a better question

Haha, I can't even type with t9 anymore, I just tried lol.
I wish we could just get a keyboard with handwriting recognition...Samsung, what the hell were you thinking by not having simple autocorrect?
I'm a big fan of the stock keyboard, mainly due to the number row being present which uses the available real-estate wisely.....however before I got my Note 2 I was a massive fan of Thumb Keyboard and Swype for their customisability.......as far as I can see both thumb keyboard and swype don't support having a dedicated number row, nor does the 4.2 keyboard which we can use so does anyone know of 3rd party keyboards and/or anything on the Play store that has a decent keyboard with dedicated number row available?
Thanks in advance

Thumb keyboard supports a dedicated number row in landscape mode for sure. Just toggle around a bit with the settings and custom layouts. Not sure about the portrait mode though.

Those who help noobs go to heaven. True story.
Hackers Keyboard has it.

I modded the swype keyboard for a dedicated number row:

Turn trace on on stock for the swype feel
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
so I'm coming from using Swype on Gingerbread and loved it.
Now that I'm using the Note 2, I've been using the Samsung Keyboard and not liking it as much, but I really like that the numbers are on the keyboard at the top without making any other presses.
Swype/Swiftkey both make you press a button to get to the numbers.
What I would like is a combination of the number keys at the top + swype style for everything else.
Any suggestions?
I think Kii Keyboard is exactly what you're looking for.
It's a new keyboard, currently in beta. But it works extremely well and the developers are improving it very frequently.
Get it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zl.inputmethod.latin
You can enable the swype features and number rows through the settings.
Enjoy!
Did I miss it or what? I couldn't find hand writing recognition.

Kii is pretty much just the 4.2 keyboard with customizations. Tried it, was nice, but nothing special.
I like the Swiftkey Flow beta myself. It was updated today with many bug fixes. Nothing like swiping out an entire sentence without lifting your finger or stylus. Working great!
Kii keyboard just updated yesterday, adding even more shortcuts to the keyboard, I would highly recommend it. It has both the swype functionality plus the number keys you are looking for. Plus I believe it's customizable user dictionary and autocorrect via space key make it leaps and bounds better than stock.

I think if you touch the Spen to the area that you want to enter the text, It will automatically enter the handwriting recognition mode. I know my device does this. I'm on chinese n7105 rom so that I can have multi window and wifi tether but I assume that most roms would have the same feature.
im very accustomed with the custom keyboard of the note 2 but I would lik 2 modify it by changing its background color from grey to another color or a picture is there any way 2 do it??? I tried using different software but it changes the layout which I don’t want it 2 change as im very comfortable with the stock one…

Currently you need to be rooted to do this.
You can try other keyboards that you can change the color.
I am currently using SwiftKey keyboard. But there are other good keyboards that you can change the color.
I use Kii Keyboard myself...very customizable, and more importantly, it has a dedicated number row on top, just like the stock keyboard. It also supports split keyboard in landscape mode.
Thumb keyboard is also worth considering. Lots if customization including altering the size of keys, colour etc.
Really suits the Note 2 as the landscape keyboard is split allowing for thumb friendly typing

Go to the Kii Keyboard settings / Keyboard Layout & Keys, and under the section called Additional Key Rows, there's an option for "Show top number row". You can have the top number row show up for portrait, landscape, both, or neither.
IMHO, smart keyboard is one of the best alternatives on Android
Im looking for a stock keyboard that has swipe, along with current and next work prediction. Ive been using swype and swiftkey, but I was playing around with a friends android phone (not sure what kind) and it was all stock. I noticed the stock keyboard had this and was very accurate. Ive searched thru some of the ROMs for keyboards but didnt see anything. I did not like the Google keyboard in the app store.
Stock as in the Samsung keyboard?
Edit: they could've been using a theme, like I have Kii keyboard set up with the Google keyboard theme and its very accurate!
