[Q] Android 4.2.2 Keyboard AOSP

Hey All,
Jelly Beer's 4.2.2 update worked great on my Samsung S3. However, I went out and purchased a new Note 2 GT-N7100 T-Mobile T889. I love the phone. The only problem is that I got used to the keyboard that the guys included in with Jelly Beer 4.2.2 update. In the Input settings, the keyboard is listed as Android keyboard (AOSP). That's the keyboard that I want.
The one that came with the Note 2 is Samsung's own and it's awful. Yes, yes, yes, I've installed just about every other keyboard out there. I've purchased the paid versions and all. Still, nothing does the job as well as the keyboard AOSP. I was literally going to toss the phone because I can't type on it. Then I started to use the gesture part of it, and I'm getting used to that. However, I still want the AOSP one. I've looked all over in the Play store and nothing.
Does anyone have the direct link or the actual .apk that I can download?
Would really appreciate it.

I am wanting the same thing.
yes, there is a google keyboard in the app store. but its not the same as AOSP, AOSP has the symbols as long hold on the letter keys. and you can long press the "." and slide to choose ?! and others.
I tried pulling out the aosp keyboard from carbon rom, if I just install it, it works, but no sliding to type (like swype) and if I move it to system/app and set permissions, then reset, it just force closes... so... it kind of works... but I would really like to be able to slide type.

[Q] Galaxy Note II Emojis

Good day.
So, I have a Galaxy Note II (GT-N7100). It is not locked to any operator and it has stock Android 4.3 installed via Kies a few days ago. I heard that there should be support for emojis in this Android version. My gf has a Galaxy S4 with Android 4.3 and she has the iWnn keyboard with all the colored emojis. When I try to find that keyboard on my Note II I can't. There is no keyb with that name. I can see some emojis in apps and messages but no color and no posibility to type emoji without using Google keyboard (installed as an APK). The Google keyboard has only a few emojis.
How come everyone else with a Note II has this iWnn keyboard installed but not my phone? If it was locket to an operator I would understand, but since it's bought not locked to an operator I don't. Could anyone help me with this?
And also, how come the S4 range has the colored emojis and not the Note II/other models? Isn't the version of Android the same?

S4 is newer than Note 2 after all. (And both phones aren't stock android after all) so Samsung can still stuff new stuff into the s4, so download a third party keyboard (I use go keyboard) or grab the apk from your girlfriend's phone and hope it works on your note 2.
Smack that thanks button If I helped!
Always make a nandroid backup before trying anything risky

Well, I didn't have time for that, however I will try it some day. Thanks to all for the tip.
Instead I got myself a SM-N9005 (Note 3). And, if possible, I love this more than the Note 2! :cyclops:

Android L Keyboard On Moto G

Here is a quick tutorial:

I get an error trying to install this over the stock google keyboard.

Try this.
This is the one which was available in Google Play Store, but was removed...
You don't need to uninstall stock keyboard, just install it as another app...

The guy who posted it on the google play store who got it removed because it was the actual stock android L keyboard and thats not allowed, posted it on amazon's app store. This one can be alongside the google keyboard with no problem.

I've been facing some problems using that keyboard since 3 days ago (before that it worked flawlessly.) Every time I press on a text field the Google Voice Input screen appears. I had to uninstall it so I could use the normal keyboard.

That maybe an issue with your rom... then again I don't really know. I have never had issues so I can't really tell you.

sidesync and keyboard

I can't seem to get the keyboard to pop up on the sidesync mirror of my phone. Anyone have that issue?

It's not an issue, it's a "feature". Keyboard works only with pc. You can write with your tab, copy it and then paste it using sidesync.

I updated the Sidesync app on both my Note 3 and my Tab S, but I still can't get the on screen keyboard to pop-up.
What else did you do to get it to work? Are you using the Samsung keyboard for both devices or a 3rd party keyboard like SwiftKey?

SwiftKey doesn't work, need to use Samsung keyboard. Guess that other third party keys doesn't work either.

I had this issue too - you have to be running a TouchWiz rom, Samsung keyboard and at first my stock Samsung keyboard wasn't working, I had to install an S5 keyboard for sidesync to work.

Sidesync Update
Taking the advice of a few on this thread, I finally got the keyboard to "popup" on my 10.5" Tab S when using the phone's messaging app. I'm currently running the S5 messaging app on my Note 3.
I had to set both my Note 3 AND my Tab S to the default Samsung keyboard, and make sure both were running the latest Sidesync app.
When the keyboard does popup via Sidesync, unfortunately it's in a small format and can't be resized or moved.
I'm not a big fan of Samsung's keyboard and have been using Swiftkey since it first came out. Hopefully, with future updates, Sidesync may eventually work with 3rd party keyboards.

6.0.1 Update - still not seeing new emoji?

Is anyone else not seeing the Unicode 8.0 emoji after the update? I'm still getting the box with the x through it for some emoji on Twitter and in SMS with iPhone friends.

Same here.

are you using the Google Keyboard? I was using Swiftkey and thinking the same thing until I switched.

I think he means when other people use new emoji and being able to view them. As oppose to being able to type the new emoji.

This is correct. Unable to see certain emojis entirely.
As an aside, I do use Swiftkey and changed to Google Keyboard for a day or two after receiving 6.0.1, but missed Swiftkey enough that I switched back figuring their update with new emoji enabled will come soon. Fleksy released theirs yesterday.
Just weird that the update to the system font doesn't seem to have taken with my 6.0.1 update.

I think there's still emoji missing in Android compared to iOS. Like we don't have the different skin color options right?
