This is a white Samsung keyboard for KitKat.
It is based on the 4.3 white keyboard that doesn't work on 4.4.2.
I have moded the new 4.4.2 keyboard by using the old 4.3 keyboard as template

Pre-requisites: n9005 updated to 4.4.2 rom with the stock Samsung keyboard (it's posible to try it on a themed keyboard but there are no guarantees). Root & Recovery. 30 spare seconds
. Also please have another keyboard installed if this mod destroys the keyboard so you can easily recover.The keyboard should work on all stock deodexed n9005 KitKat roms. It is also true about all custom deodexed KitKat roms that use the stock keyboard. It was tested by several users with the excellent X-Note 8 rom. It was NOT tested on odexed roms and it will probably not work so please beware.
How to: I have prepared a VRTheme script to take care of the mod. All you need to do is install it in the recovery. If something goes wrong there is a backup of the original keyboard on internal Sdcard in the vrtheme-backup directory. I have also added the original Samsung keyboard in recovery format below if you need to recover from a bad install.
I hope you will like the keyboard as much as I enjoyed preparing it for you.
Version 1.3: Complete re-do to fix the button sizes. Left the color change from previous version. Also added an original black extra symbols version - 1.3a
Version 1.4-NF4:New version for people on rom version NF4, NG2 or up. Don't use the old version as Samsung updated the keyboard and the old mod doesn't work. Also added again an original black extra symbols version - 1.4a
Credits go to VillainROM for their great theming script
