ThAnks i just figured a apk is a apk and didnt think it would matter with the size.i tried one for note 3 also and it worked but was smaller.

I've been trying to flash on galaxy note 3 2014 edition and it isn't working, I just recently updated Samsung keyboard, can that be the problem? I uninstalled update and tried to flash again and still won't work.Any suggestions?

N3 has a different keyboard apk (SamsungIME.apk) from the N2. I actually got a request a few months ago for a N3 TW keyboard mod.. I had that user forward a copy of their stock N3 SamsungIME.apk.. and modded it for him. He wanted a grey key orange border and grey key green border modification. You can try those to see if you like and if they work. These are NOT flashable zips... but a zip that just compresses files (including the samsungIME.apks). Just unzip (using 7-Zip for example) and copy the SamsungIME.apk to your phone (/system/app folder). I recommend doing a backup first (and copy your current samsungIME.apk to a safe place before overwriting it) just in case you need to get back to where you are today.

See if these work... again, move to /system/app folder... replace current samsungIME.apk (but copy that one first somewhere else)...fix permission to rw.r..r.., the reboot.

in this compressed zip is an orange border key theme and a green border key theme.

Thanks,ill try after work to see if it works.I did use a note 3 one i found and it was about 3/4 of my screen.Usually it goes across the whole bottom.I have a 10 inch note 3 so will this one still work


Edit=It worked but it makes the keyboard smaller,I'm assuming cause I have a 10 in. tablet Is there a way I can change the size of it in the apk file?Or would i need to modify my apk file.Thanks

I was trying to use the semi transparent color keys with a photo background. With 4.1.2 keyboards that was easy. Can it be done with the 4.3 keyboard? I have not been able to figure it out. Help please.

I have a suspicion what is different... but cannot confirm it. In 4.1.2 SamsungIME.apk, the keyboard background image is "qwerty_keypad_bg.png". The portrait image dimension is 720x444 pixels, while the landscape image dimension is 1280x316 pixels. you could reduce a photo to these dimensions (with a 1pixel border) to get a photo image keyboard background. HOWEVER, in 4.3 SamsungIME.apk, the keyboard background image is on 8x508 pixels (portrait) while the landscape is 8x358 pixels. Keyboard background image is named "qwerty_keypad_bg.9.png" (and as you probably know, ".9" images can reek havoc when being modified). You would have to shrink down your photo image to only 8 pixels wide (not sure that is even possible). I believe the xml/smali code must call the background png multiple times to paint the background image (i.e, display this 8x508 png 90 times in order to get a 720x508 on a horizontal plane image), while in 4.1.2, it probably only calls it once. Again, just my guess, but as you can see, quite a difference between the width of the 4.1.2 background png (720pixels) vs the 4.3 background png (8 pixels). I only modified the 4.3 background image png (qwerty_keypad_bg.9.png) which again is 8x508, yet it filled the entire width of the keyboard background (thus, the code must call it multiple times to draw).

Makes sense. Thanks for the tip and the information.

Would love a clear keyboard. Any chance you could do something like that? With blue outline and blue or white letters.

Just a thought not a demand.

Is there a way to make the voice input icon stay as a default key? My Samsung Keyboard always defaults back to the handwriting input button and I have to long press to select voice. Very inconvenient. Is there a way to mod this?

Edit: OK I don't know why or how but when I activated the "Secure Samsung Keyboard" option in Wanam Xposed the voice input button finally stuck...or maybe its a coincidence.
