[How To] Port Note keyboard to S2 [dedicated number row]

Christian ported this keyboard to S2 but this is a how to do it yourself, prepared it from scratch after a lot of research
1) Extract SamsungIME.apk from the ROM that you prefer that has the default S2 Samsung keyboard
2) decompile the apk
3) in the extracted/decompiled folder, browse to res\xml-sw320dp-hdpi\properties.xml
4) search for the following line and change the value to "true" as seen below
<Property key="USE_ADDTO_NUMBER_KEY_FIRST_LINE" value="true" type="bool" />
5) add the following line at the bottom of the same file
<Property key="NOTE_KEYPAD_TYPE" value="true" type="bool" />
6) next browse to /res/xml-sw320dp-hdpi/qwerty_en.xml and add the following code at the top. Blue color code is what was added to the top to add the numeric row. Modified file attached.
<Row android:keyHeight="0.0px" android:horizontalGap="0.0px" android:verticalGap="@dimen/qwerty_first_line_vertical_gap">
<Key android:keyWidth="100.0%p" android:codes="-257" android:keyLabel="StrEmpty" />
</Row>
<Row android:keyHeight="@dimen/qwerty_number_key_height" android:rowEdgeFlags="top">
<Key android:horizontalGap="@dimen/qwerty_first_col_horizontal_gap" android:codes="0x31" android:keyEdgeFlags="left" android:keyLabel="1" />
<Key android:codes="0x32" android:keyLabel="2" />
<Key android:codes="0x33" android:keyLabel="3" />
<Key android:codes="0x34" android:keyLabel="4" />
<Key android:codes="0x35" android:keyLabel="5" />
<Key android:codes="0x36" android:keyLabel="6" />
<Key android:codes="0x37" android:keyLabel="7" />
<Key android:codes="0x38" android:keyLabel="8" />
<Key android:codes="0x39" android:keyLabel="9" />
<Key android:codes="0x30" android:keyEdgeFlags="right" android:keyLabel="0" />
</Row>
<Row>
<Key android:horizontalGap="@dimen/qwerty_first_col_horizontal_gap" android:codes="113" androidopupCharacters="@string/default_umlaut_q" android:keyEdgeFlags="left" android:keyLabel="q" />
<Key android:codes="119" androidopupCharacters="@string/default_umlaut_w" android:keyLabel="w" />
<Key android:codes="101" androidopupCharacters="@string/default_umlaut_e" android:keyLabel="e" />
<Key android:codes="114" androidopupCharacters="@string/default_umlaut_r" android:keyLabel="r" />
<Key android:codes="116" androidopupCharacters="@string/default_umlaut_t" android:keyLabel="t" />
<Key android:codes="121" androidopupCharacters="@string/default_umlaut_y" android:keyLabel="y" />
<Key android:codes="117" androidopupCharacters="@string/default_umlaut_u" android:keyLabel="u" />
<Key android:codes="105" androidopupCharacters="@string/default_umlaut_i" android:keyLabel="i" />
<Key android:codes="111" androidopupCharacters="@string/default_umlaut_o" android:keyLabel="o" />
<Key android:codes="112" androidopupCharacters="@string/default_umlaut_p" android:keyEdgeFlags="right" android:keyLabel="p" />
</Row>
7) most of the ported keyboards did not have 5 rows in the symbols page. I preferred to match 5 rows on the symbols page like the note keyboard. So, I had to make changes to qwerty_number_symbols.xml file. I remapped the keys and hence attached xml file to the post.
8) Finally I preferred to increase the height of the numeric keys and so I change "qwerty_number_key_height" in dimens.xml to 48 from default value of 31 or 32
I change it both under \res\values\dimes.xml and also \res\values-sw320dp-hdpi\dimes.xml
9) decompile back the apk and then replace the original file with the modified apk file in \preload...\app\
Note: these are the steps to be performed to English language keyboard. For other languages, you need to edit the corresponding qwerty_xx.xml and qwerty_number_symbols_xx.xml file. Thanks to Christian for highlighting this.
Hoping not to missed anything. Got ideas from Korean website.

Corrected, thanks

Good job with the guide mate
But don't forget to type that they need to edit all the remaining querty_xx.xml (xx is the abbreviated language) or to edit their favorite language
Good job once again , I was too lazy to start making a guide for the extra row with the numbers

Does not seem possible because of the Samsung framework

Thanks for very useful guide. I could edit the code and got number row working on my Samsung default keyboard on Galaxy S3 Korean variant. I was looking for this guide from many days. Thanks again bro.
One thing, there are no keys beneath the number rows, can you guide how to add these ? only number rows are seen

Thanks.

You might want to check "sip_key_bg_number.9.png" and "sip_key_bg_number_qwerty.9.png" under res\drawable-sw3**** folders. For landscape layout, you need to also make changes in folder "res\drawable-sw***-land***" folders

Glad u figured it out. Normally the number row has a different background image/color.
For the symbol part, system/csc/feature.xml ==> remove following lines
<CscFeature_Sip_UseSymbolInCMKey>true</CscFeature_Sip_UseSymbolInCMKey>
<CscFeature_Sip_EnableSymbolInSecondary>de;en_US;en_GB</CscFeature_Sip_EnableSymbolInSecondary>
Use root explorer and edit the file

deleted above lines from feature.xml but the secondary labels on number keys are still present

[Help] Audio Volume and Navbar

Edit 3- Sound mod is working so far.
For the audio mod, I'm able to decrease/increase the global volume through the following edit in mixer_paths_wcd9326.xml:
Handset volume is increased by adding the following line to <path name="handset">:
Code:
<ctl name="RX0 Digital Volume" value="93" />
It should look like this inside the XML:
Code:
<path name="handset">
<ctl name="SLIM RX0 MUX" value="AIF_MIX1_PB" />
<ctl name="SLIM_0_RX Channels" value="One" />
<ctl name="RX INT0_1 MIX1 INP0" value="RX0" />
<ctl name="RX INT0 DEM MUX" value="CLSH_DSM_OUT" />
<ctl name="EAR PA Gain" value="G_6_DB" />
<ctl name="RX0 Digital Volume" value="93" />
</path>
I've tried so many things trying to increase headphone volumes to no avail. I will try further.

Hi Folks!
Two things I'm trying to mod on our Mi Max:
Volume Mod - On my previous device, I could modify the /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml and change some RX1 and RX2 values to increase or decrease specific output volumes such as the in call volume, earphone volume etc. Upon looking at the mixer_paths on our Mi Max, I can't seem to find similar values that I can edit.
I tried changing the following values to 0:
Code:
<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="0" />
<ctl name="RX2 Digital Volume" value="0" />
<ctl name="RX3 Digital Volume" value="0" />
Code:
<path name="handset">
<ctl name="RX1 MIX1 INP1" value="RX1" />
<ctl name="RDAC2 MUX" value="RX1" />
<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="0" />
<ctl name="EAR PA Gain" value="POS_6_DB" />
<ctl name="EAR_S" value="Switch" />
</path>
to no avail. This is how I tested my sound mod on my previous device. No volume means I shouldn't hear anything. Once I've established which are the values, I can easily increase them rather than blindly increasing values and trying to play it by ear. Can anyone point me to the right direction?
Navbar Mod - This one seemed really simple. Change the value qemu.hw.mainkeys to 0 and you should get it right? Well, I can't seem to do that as it seems like something is overwriting system/build.prop.
I tried doing this by:
1. Directly editing the file in System
2. Using resetprop in Magisk to do it.
I know that the change doesn't reflect because I don't see the navbar and in addition, upon entering the terminal command:
Code:
getprop qemu.hw.mainkeys
in returns with the value:
Code:
1
Is there another place where MIUI reads this particular prop configuration?
Hoping some folks can help. Thanks!

Thanks! I definitly noticed it on my headphones, but not so much on the speakers? How much higher can it go? Also, will it make bluetooth things louder?

It should also make bluetooth voice louder

Thanks to you.

Try Viper4Android FX if you have root.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
1. Install the app.
2. Allow root access.
3. Allow the driver update/install when prompted.
4. Under the "Phone Speaker" section, switch on "extra loud".
5. Adjust the settings to suit your own preference.
It works for me to increase the speaker volume, as my phone's volume is too soft even at full volume last time.
Hope it works for you

You can modify file mixer_paths.xml (or mixer_paths_tasha.xml). Which is in the directory: /system/etc/ (if you have non-treble rom).
/vendor/etc/ (if you have treble rom) and find and change parameter value <ctl name="RX0 Digital Volume" value="84" /> (maximum value is 124, but you can break your earpiece) After you change value, reboot device

[MOD] DualSpeaker SoundMod - Tutorial

Hi!
I let you here a litle tutorial how to activate earpieace as a second speaker.
Don´t hope you gonna get any super sound system... Is a very tiny speaker!
Try it at your one risk, ok?
Let´s start!
Suposing that you already now how this all works!
Pull from Vendor/etc the file mixer_paths_tashalite.xml.
Add this line under speaker lines:
Code:
<path name="earpieace">
<ctl name="COMP7 Switch" value="1" />
<ctl name="SLIM RX0 MUX" value="AIF_MIX1_PB" />
<ctl name="SLIM_0_RX Channels" value="two" />
<ctl name="RX INT7_1 MIX1 INP0" value="RX0" />
<ctl name="EAR PA Gain" value="G_6_DB" />
<ctl name="RX0 Digital Volume" value="86" />
</path>
Save the file.
Now with root or in TWRP.
Copy the file to ext sd card.
Got to vendor/etc and rename de stock file as mixer_paths_tashalite.xml.bk
Copy the mod file to vendor/etc and chmod to 644 (in TWRP is easy, just select the file and you will see chmod option).
Reboot!
I must thanks to @Dante63 for his tutorial, it help me in the right way.
Check it if you noticed any change, i had to try a few times because earpiece have a low power sound, i try to rise Digital Volume above but it cut off.
See you around!

I have to try it!
"earpieace" ?
I don't understand where to add this lines. Please share the modified xml!
