Always use Samsung keyboard and all of a sudden all my shortcuts are missing from the keys.
Long press options on all keys. missing ???
Also missing in settings option to adjust " Key long press delay " settings.
They were there yesterday like the question mark on the M key and my coma is missing, have to hold down period to get punctuation symbols .
Was this an update?

Tried downloading a new Samsung keyboard apk but cannot install no matter what.

Uninstalled original keyboard.
No profit.

Show me your Samsung keyboard.
A screenshot will do.
By the way I'm still running stock/rooted/ debloated.

That is super weird.
Does long pressing the keys still give you the alternate symbol? Like they just don't show but they still work? Or is that entire function gone?
If the entire function is gone it HAS to be some weird setting. I can't believe this is something that would just break.

Long pressing does nothing, as you can see in screen shot no symbols on keys, it's like the keyboard was switched out by a google keyboard. It still showed as the Samsung keyboard, went through all setting I could find and nothing.
Searching for apk to reinstall but no luck so far. Keep finding versions that won't install even when pushed into system/apps.
Any link to a download would be appreciated.

OK who's going to share their Samsung keyboard apk with me?
Cannot find this elusive keyboard anywhere, keep finding moded versions or without " long press key option " it's a hot mess.
Please

I run AOSP so I don't have it handy.
You could try installing a stock ROM, extract the APK and save to your SD card, then restore your nandroid of your current ROM and put the 'new' apk in place.
I only run stock rooted on S4 and note 3..
AOSP on my tablets.
I have a couple of stock roms on the PC I guess I could decompile one and extract the keyboard.
Just have to figure out how to decompile?
*** edit ***
Too much trouble to decompile. Blah.
And all I keep finding are keyboard themes.

You could back up your data, reflash a stock room and reroot it, put your data back, and it would be like nothing changed. Except the keyboard would be fixed.
I'm going to try and copy from my note 3 ....... No good, note 3 is running lollipop.
I guess I'll have to flash my stock firmware again.

The volcano gods must be punishing me, I said to myself, why not restore my b/u from last month?
What a great idea!

Well after all that craziness just trying to get a KEYBOARD I ended up with the infamous " Miscellaneous files super bloat "
It was topping out at 7.65 GB, and I was getting the " insufficient storage " notification while I was installing apps.
No matter what I did to delete, Google searching, Disk cleaners, extreme profanity, you name it I tried it. Factory reset time. That's the only thing that cleared up my insufficient storage problem.
Back to square one.
Root, recovery, debloat notification sounds, ringers and b/u's from the pc, I'm done, you can stick a fork in me. :banghead::banghead::banghead:
That S6 edge is starting to look so good right now. Can't wait to jump.
I learned a lesson, keyboard wants to disappear, let it go.
Plenty of keyboards in the play store. :what:

you should try the modded apk then cause not having any of those issues with that apk.
but u have to force install that apk file by coping it to system and changing permissions
that is to hard for some people

I got this error when I tried to install Smartr Contacts and took it off my phone. It keeps popping up and freezing the system...i tried to restore titanium backup android.keyboard but to no avail. Can someone please tell me what to do other than restoring a backup? Are there any other processes I can try to restore?

Only happens when Android keyboard (as opposed to swype/samsung keyboard) is selected?

Tried to flash kb.zip... failed
tried to force stop, clear data/ cache/davlik failed
I might just download a copy of a custom keyboard (keyboadr pro) from store and load the ics keyboadr on keyboard pro...a little more customizable too.
Reading about the error I foudn that it might have to do with the kernel (as opposed to the rom). So I wouldn't jump the flashing the restore bandwagon so fast

Since a few people ran into this issue I would leave the Samsung keyboard out of that Turboslim script. It was the only keyboard along with voice that worked. I would get the same error off of different ones in market. What is it that messes up those keyboard but not the Samsung one is the question.
I put on AOKP last night so this isn't a worry for me right now. If you have the samsung keyboard as standalone and can post it as an apk or zip, it would be really nice for those who are faicng the same dilemma and fall upon this thread or for when I go back to that rom

Why do you guys keep flashing things without making a backup first?! Unfortunately there is no other way for you to get back to working order; you have to LGPST back to stock. Next time make a backup if you're going to flash ANYTHING.

I had something simpler happen with exposed framework, my status bar would disappear then I would get an error "system UI has stopped" . Just un installed all modules and removed exposed. Not sure if you are using exposed. But that's how I fixed mine.
When the f*ck did we get ice cream??
Can a mod move this to the Q&A section please before it gets out of hand. Not flaming you bro but we as a community need to keep things in order and post where we are supposed to post. Don't worry we've all posted in the wrong section a time or two.

You dont need to flash the whole thing just overwrite LGSystemUI.apk with the original one I attached, set correct permission and reboot.
You should backup any file you decide to change first..luckily the phone will still boot with a bad systemui apk
Hopefully that fixes it, hopefully what he flashed didn't change any other files outside of Systemui.

Thanks for the apk and sorry about posting in the wrong forum at first.....
How exactly should I go about installing the new apk though? When I used Package Installer it keeps saying "Application not installed" and doesn't run. Sideload Wonder Machine or something equivalent maybe? I had a tough time today with setting up LGPST so I'd like to save that as a last resort if possible.... Thanks for the responses though!
Never mind....figured it out. Forgot it had to be pushed over.... Needless to say I need to spend some more time around Android! It's been a while since I first got in the game.
Status bar is back up and running, and it even maintained removal of the QSlide Apps portion, which is what I was trying to fix all along -- my original screw up! All's well that ends well I guess.
Thanks all for your help! :good:

What keyboard are you using? I actually don't get what you mean. Do you, by chance, have a backup with the keys where they're supposed to be... if so, grab a screenshot of that and your current keyboard... If that wouldn't be too much trouble.

If you hold the keys, does the alternate key so come up like it's supposed to? Are you using the same keyboard as you were before? Same version and all? I'm pretty unfamiliar with the stock keyboard as I've been using SwiftKey for a year or so now and it has the alternate keys enabled by default... It's also free in the play store now.

I'd say to make a backup of your apps/data with Titanium Backup or equivalent. Then do a clean flash, flashing nothing but the ROM and the keyboard. If it works on a clean flash with nothing else installed, I'd go ahead and add your other flashable mods like The Sickness Modz.. Basically just restore everything in stages, checking to make sure the keyboard still works after each stage. If, after restoring your apps/data, the keyboard stops working, you'll know it's something to do with an app that breaks it. Then just restore a few apps at a time, rebooting after each and checking the keyboard. Then do your xposed modules one at a time. When you find what breaks the keyboard you can then either find a workaround or just stop using whatever it is that breaks it altogether.

My Samung SII Galaxy Epic 4G uses Gallery version 1.0.19 for photo viewing but seems to have been partially corrupted and will not show Albums. If I try to use any functions from the Gallery main screen, it goes to a black screen and locks up the phone. However, holding the power button does bring up the power options and I can restart. All other phone functions and apps work fine.
I think if an APK file is available, and I reinstall the app, it should overwrite or reinstall the corrupted file/s.
I did search the net and find an APK on Aptoide but am not sure how safe it is to use that open source OR LEGAL?
Any help on this?

check your PM
Ok, so to answer some things for you from the PM. You should be able to just install the apk and go about your business. You should not have any problems unless the orignal apk is corrupted. The 2 files you downloaded from @erikalin should be sufficent enough to get your gallery back. Keep her files handy as they are every file that comes with the phone. Another option is to install Google+. It will install a photo app for you, then you don't need to be rooted. My suggestion is to root. So many things you can do, even on TW which is what your on. Custom ROM's are the best thing to happen since sliced bread. @qbking77 has a website with everything also. You don't have to do anything except what the video tells you to do and you will be rooted with no loss of files from the internal storage. @rwilco12 has a website with stock stuff as well as the same files to completely root your phone on any modem for Sprint/Versizon/AT&T. I hope this help you and anyone else who is in need of stock apks.
