[MOD]{Xposed} Samsung keyboard short delay

This is based on the work from the Original thread and the original thread link from that post. All I did was package it into an Xposed module so you don't need to flash a particular version to get the short delay. I have only tested this on the international stock odexed ROM, but it should work on any ROM with the stock Samsung keyboard. If it doesn't work, please send me a copy of /data/xposed/debug.log. It's super simple, so I don't expect problems. I'm running the multi-DPI keyboard mod as well, and it works fine.
Installation is like any Xposed module, so see the Xposed thread for info on how to use it. Once installed, it should show up as a module in the Xposed installer app. Just check the box to enable it and reboot. You should be good to go after the boot is complete. Please be sure your Xposed install is working. Try using one of the other mods to make sure before reporting bugs with this module. The setup is pretty simple, but there are a few steps to getting it going. Once I get some reports that it's working, I'll post the source to github. I just don't want to push out source that doesn't work for anyone other than me.

I use that module for Xposed in my Galaxy S4, and I have a question: is that mod correctly work on another device than Galaxy Note II? In my phone there is no autocorrection, and delay is not short. Is any possibility to further decrease the time?

I have only tested it on a Note2 and Note3. It worked for the Note3 without any changes. The S4 may well use a different keyboard app as the Note keyboard has a number of options for the larger screen. This mod never did anything with auto-correct, only the keyboard long-press delay. Going much lower will break some other features, or just make them really hard to use.

Trying it now on my note 2, key board feels snappier but I'm still testing it, question if I ever want to go back to original, what arte the steps to go back?

I'd imagine you just disable that particular module in xposed app.

Exactly.
Make sure you reboot after disabling, like all xposed modules.

You will need to edit the source code and rebuild the module as I didn't think anyone would want to configure it like that. See the link below for the source.

I tried this on my Galaxy Note 3, and now the keyboard is missing the shortcuts. Anyway to get the shortcuts back on my keyboard? I already uninstalled this tweak, and I tried a factory data reset, and the Samsung keyboard still has no shortcuts.

This mod doesn't change anything I can think of that would affect that. I tested it on a TMO US Note3 with stock software and it worked fine. Modded ROMs might have compatibility issues with it as they may have changed the code I'm taking over. As I understand it, the shortcuts are handled by CSC settings. Have you recently installed anything that could mess with those? A data wipe won't affect CSC, as it lives on the system partition. I believe there was an issue similar to this with Wannam breaking wifi calling due to CSC mods, as one example. Even an update to another app could have done it. It's hard to say.
If you want to get it back to stock, the only way I can think of would be to restore the stock CSC. The simplest way would be to wipe system and re-flash the ROM. Then install things one at a time to look for what might be messing with CSC settings.
The code is about as simple as an Xposed module can be, it takes over one method in the keyboard class and tells it to use a shorter delay. The original method is a one-liner, as is mine. It's literally "return 200;".
Here's a direct link to the code: https://github.com/travistabbal/Xpo...SamsungKeyboardShortDelay/ShortDelayMain.java

I have the At&t Note 3, so I don't have any custom roms. The only other app I have is Wanam Xposed and the only thing I have enabled on Wanam is the flashlight on the lock screen. Before I installed this tweak I had the shortcuts on my keyboard, after I installed it and rebooted my phone the shortcuts were gone. It feels weird without them, I'm so used to them being there. I rooted my phone with Kingo root, and I wouldn't know how to flash to the stock rom. Please help.

If you disabled/uninstalled this mod, and rebooted, it's no longer there. It makes no persistent changes to the system. If Wanam updated before you rebooted, that could do it. That one does modify CSC files. I have no idea if that is what happened in your case or not. I'm afraid that I can't be much more help directly as I don't have an ATT N3 to test on. The best advice I can give is to hit the ATT N3 Q&A forum and post there about your issue. Perhaps someone can send you a backup of their CSC files? Or someone may have run into the same thing and know the cause. I would be VERY shocked if this little mod had anything to do with it though. It's only a few steps away from "Hello World".

Wanam is what's breaking the symbols. There's a setting to turn them off, and it's "on" by default.
Turning it off doesn't always make the symbols come back. But after a few reboots they will be there. I had the same problem before I even found your .apk
And updated version would be great where I can pick my own milliseconds.. I'm a 128ms kinda guy

Thank you so much for saying this. I have a Verizon Note 3 but I was having this issue on a new ROM and I thought I had some weird junky modified keyboard because I didn't even realize it was a Wanam option. It was driving me insane. Somehow I found your post in a search and I'm glad I did! I actually couldn't get them to come back after a few reboots but uninstalled Wanam with the symbols turned on, reinstalled, rebooted, and THEN they came back.

This is nice! I have another question too if anyone can answer me. I flashed the root 4.3 stock odin style onto my note 2. After rebooting brand new and checking my samsung keyboard settings, it showed having the auto replace option there which is good for me. After a while though i noticed that it would not replace my words anymore and checked the keyboard settings and the auto replace was gone!! Anyone know what may have happened?

S Note not working

Does anyone have issue with S Note closes after you open a new template? The app will open but when I click on the "+" sign it will immediately closed. I have been reading there has been similar issue with the Note 2 & 3 and many resolution suggested didn't seem to work on the Note 4. Phone is rooted and problem did not occur before this. I've tried clear cached, disable/enable the app, widget trick someone suggested, language update trick, and still no go. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Mine does it too. I have no idea why.

Just found the fix! So I change my build prop back to 4.4.4 (from the hd youtube mod) and it works again! I saw this from the other thread suggestion to fix Smart Remote (mine had the same issue too)
It seems the youtube hd mod breaks the smart remote and the S Note.
Thanks to pongoface from this thread :good:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57375450&postcount=2

yup! It's not worth breaking several apps/features on your phone just to make youtube app allow you to set 1440 and higher resolutions. they will probably update the youtube app soon enough and these workarounds won't be necessary.

Trick Sidesync Into Phone Mode

Hey All:
I'm on the T800, unrooted stock (I had promised my work sysadmin that I wouldn't root). I'm also using ShareKM through USB on my work PC to use my mouse and keyboard on the tablet (makes a great timeclock). Of course, this means living with the limitations of ShareKM and I expect its impending death.
I'd love to use SideSync for this feature, but Sidesync doesn't share mouse or keyboard to tablets (just to phones). Has anyone had luck persuading SideSync on the GTS to act as a phone rather than a tablet? I was thinking either through modifying build.prop to look like a GS5, using SecureSettings and Tasker, or even the Per App Settings through Xposed. All of these would require me to root, so I'd rather know that a solution works before actually rooting. Then... well I'll just not show the local tech the bootscreen and we'll be all good .
Any ideas? Has anyone tested any of these ways?

It doesn't look like Per App settings can do this. I'm still hesitant to root my tablet, but with the new Lollipop update ShareKM has officially died. I'd really appreciate if anyone else has any experience or would be willing to guinea pig on this.

No, nobody did. But I do now have a rooted tablet using the Knox 0x0 root (...sshhhhh) so I might try a couple of the ideas that came up. If you're interested, I can post the results here.

So after some headache, I can confirm that I have a working App Settings Xposed Module on my Tab S... but changing the Screen (dp) setting as sometimes work doesn't actually convince SideSync that it's on a phone rather than a tablet. I'm even running an apk that I TiBu'ed over from my Galaxy S5, so I can confirm that the sidesync apk isn't what decides the platform either.
I still haven't touched my build.prop; that might be part of the equation. It'd be nice to have an xposed module that corrects this on a per-app basis, but it doesn't seem to exist.
So I reach out again to the experts - any other ideas?

Stock SMS Widget not available anymore

Can someone please check their Widget list and see if the stock messaging/ SMS widget is there. For some reason mine is missing, i use nova launcher and thought that maybe the issue, but its not there in stock launcher either.
Thanks.

I don't use it but I just tried to set a widget and it doesn't appear in my list of widgets.

What the heck. The widget used to be there for me on my S9. Can someone else confirm if they see it or not also. It makes Bo since why it would be removed. On my work phone galaxy S6. It is working as usual.

Same reason they removed image resizing from the photo editing app, replaced "keep screen off in a dark place such as pocket or bag" with "touch is disabled in a dark place", screen will now happily come on and stay on though... and other dumb changes that make no sense
At a guess for the messages widget, stats probably showed it wasn't used much but who knows with Samsung

anyone get a previous version working? i really miss a widget..

Use a different SMS app that contains a widget?

Android Messages has widgets and is a much better app in my opinion.

i really like to keep my phone minimalist with no extra apps unless i have too.. also it's nice having one that respects the theming engine of the phone.

Then there's no reason to even buy a high end phone especially with Samsung's less than stellar apps. Just my opinion, but like a**holes, everybody has one.

The widget is gone for me also. Happened when I updated the Google Android Messages app on Google play store yesterday. I've tried to uninstall and reinstall the Google SMS app several times which was not stock on my phone, have cleared my phone's cache a from the safe mode screen, and also cannot find the SMS widget for stock messages app or Facebook Messenger.

After toying around on and off all day, I found an older version of the Google Android Messages app that works and has the widget. I do not promote installing apps from unverified sources outside if the Google Play Store as it can be a risk to your device. Here is the application that I found to be working:

the best navigation experience! (at least for me!)

yesterday i found the 'Fluid navigation gestures' app and it's awesome it has almost perfect gestures like xiaomi's ones and if you have root or give access via adb (it will not trip the knox)
I think is the best app right now until Samsung releases a new gesture system!
if you liked the app let other people know!
you can find it on playstore!

I also just found it around 2 days ago and guess what? Im currently running it now because who in the world would not love that all-screen estate? Navbars are hidden (with adb shell command) yet you can still navigate your phone. I've set mine like that of iPhone x's gestures and I'm really liking it.
In-app links and guides are pretty useful too because I'm a noob when it comes to adb shell, I know nothing yet I still manage to get it working. This app is still in its unreleased version but it is already so stable.
And ofcourse, to complement the iphone x gestures, I also have the ios 12 launcher together with samsung task changer.

why you don't just buy an iPhone?
using such a launcher uses a lot of battery and makes the phone laggy
i recommend you to try the hyperion launcher or Niagara ones

There's what we call "personal preference". I have many things I dont like in ios ecosystem.
And no, I dont get any lag nor any battery drain, besides, why would you recommend hyperion launcher while you just said launcher sucks

Sorry
I didn't specified ... I mean nova launcher and thoose ones are fine, i never had a problem but other launchers like fake samsung launchers and ios ones from the app store
I downloaded a few on my old phones and i had bad experience like ads from knowhere, ram optimizer (actually killing all the apps and then the phone started lagging etc
(Most of the time on thoose launchers there is a ton of bloatware that makes the phone suck)at least on my experience

Never conclude when you havent even tried them all, because there's always new launchers coming out. Never had those "bad experience" with my launcher.
Back to main topic now.

edit: it works now!
Thanks for that tip! Tried it, liked it, bought it. But even spending the money didn't make it the pro version it still shows the option to buy and doesn't allow me to use the pro features. Any suggestions? I wrote a mail to the developer but no reaction till now (I wrote the mail just a few hours ago so nothing to complain about that!).

You just posted the same thing on reddit....

i like OnePlus Gesture app. i think it's the best one so far

This seemed like a shill .. but daamn aren't that some nice gestures!
The app seem to come from / be endorsed by the MIUI team https://en.miui.com/thread-4147804-1-1.html

I was looking for an app like this, it's perfect.
If I remember correctly, Havoc Oreo has a kind of this built in ( although it's less customizable )

i agree. i've tried a lot of gestures apps and the problem with infinity display is that being curved sometimes makes you miss the back gesture (swipe from left or right) while with oneplus gesture u never miss one beacuse gestures come always from the bottom of the screen

Prove it?
Really, i did not posted anything about that on reddit?
That is my opinion because i had xiaomi device and i liked that future!

The app is great.
I had a Xiaomi Mi8 SE and I really missed the edge gestures it had. There are other edge gesture apps but this is the only one which adds those smexy animations like on MIUI.

I am probably missing something, but why don't you guys just use Samsung Good Lock?
There's "One Handed Mode" app enabling navigation gestures.
It has been featured on XDA, too.
