There is an input selector icon in the status bar whenever the keyboard pops. If you click that you can easily change the input method.

This should be possible, just need someone with the knowledge and time to make one.
I am sure the S-pen SDK allows us to monitor when the s-pen is removed so we should be able to trigger an app to auto-switch keyboard at that point.

If you can also find a thread etc on xda where it was first posted I would like to read that.

I need an app like this too been looking everywhere for it. Cant be dealing with the samsung keyboard but without itm it kind of makes the pen useless..
Hows the making going?

I would argue that double tapping to open smemo is the same amount of work.
It is amazing, however, how awesome it is to have smemo automatically open and close when you pull the pen in and out.

android 4.2 keyboard

thought i'd post this in case any of my fellow unrooted inc4g people hate the default keyboard as much as I do
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1964663
its the official 4.2 keyboard with swype gesture typing
Thanks a lot I've been waiting for this
I installed the APK but I cannot find a way to switch keyboards. Any advice?
EDIT: Found it! When the additional keyboard is enabled (Settings->Languages & Keyboard->Android Keyboard ON), a keyboard icon appears in the notification bar. Dragging down the notification bar shows "Select input method" which then allows for a kb switch.

After you install go into settings, then language settings and enable it, then find an input field, like in messages, then in the status bar you will see the select input, click that and select the android keyboard and you'll be good

Using SPen for texting

So I used my S Pen today for texting when I realize that I have to hit the spacebar every time. I didn't see an option for it automatically space when using the S Pen or am I blind lol.
Thanks in advance!

Mine auto spaces when I use swype.
The auto-spacing only half works.
The critical thing to do to get some auto-spacing is to write multiple words out on one line. You won't fit much, maybe 2-3 at the very most, but it will auto space these.
Trying to do one word at a time and letting it clear the screen, doesn't auto-space at all. Very annoying for sure.

This makes no sense at all, it's so counterintuitive. I thought for sure I was missing a section.
As stated above all words written on the screen at a time will auto space but when the screen clears you have to space. What I have found easier than hitting the space bar though, is ate the screen clears you can "write" the space by writing a very short left to right dash.

I believe that you need to draw a - and that's the way to tell it put space. .

Why wait? Just go into the settings for the Samsung Keyboard on your phone and enable Swiftkey Flow right now.

Every time you pick up the pen and write a new word, Swift key flow does a space (Was done in Swift key flow without pressing space).

Unless i'm also missing something, when i use the pen with swiftkey flow enabled for handwriting recognition.
Everytime I write a word, let it recognize and start a new word it does NOT auto space.
Hope this is just a setting I missed or something??
Or are you just talking about drawing from letter to letter on the keyboard, just with the pen?

Swiftkey flow is swype so I thought that is what you meant. Let me test handwritten.
So, I figured it out. You have to write until thee is no more room on the pad then you let it recognize the text you have written. Once it does that, write a small dash (left to right) and that will make a space. you can then repeat the process. Hope this helps. Writing like this is pretty fun.

Yea, that is how i have been doing it too, i just wish it would auto space itself. On a screen this big i don't see the advantage of having the default be to continue the current word, rather than start a new one. Guess i'll just be training myself to space, just hard to remember.
I sent random texts to my girlfriend all night long just playing with the handwriting. Works really well too!
Thanks again.

Eh. It's only once every 2 lines of text so it doesn't bother me very much. I like to use Swype with the s-pen. It seems to be the fastest way to type.

Why not use voice dictation to text since it autospaces and especially if your hands are tied?

Swiftkey is where it's at. I've tried every other keyboard for Android that I could find, none of them seem to function as well or as smooth.

What feature would you like to see added to the note 2?

In case any developers are looking for new ideas to fold in....
I would like to see a custom circular menu surround the spen tip when I long press and have about 12 customizable options in the "full circle" menu. It seems like a waste that long press with the pen does the exact same thing as my finger. Something like Pie but full circle.
What do you want to see?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
I'd like to see the AOKP octo lock screen with customizable shortcuts/apps and icons as well as the AOKP toggles in touchwiz roms
How about google wallet? JK I would like to see an option for a stock jellybean note 2 with s-pen capabilities, or maybe a siri like feature that works better than S-Voice. For the love of god im from michigan and have a "normal" accent and that stupid thing CANNOT ever get what I say right, Siri never had any problems during my brief stint on an iphone 5, neither does the google now.
The lmt launcher is only thing I added. That's the only thing the note 2 is missing. Something that keeps you from reaching across the device for the back key.
I would love for the Note 2 to allow any app for the Multi-View function w/out root... =)

You can use back and the menu button with the spen, you hold the button on the spen and use gestures. Look at the manual.

Yes I know that they can't add s-pen support to the capacitive buttons. But it is being added to future devices. I use LMT to avoid the buttons in general.

I'd like customization of the notification drop down (remove toggles, remove brightness slider). As well as true TABLET MODE on touchwiz, something akin to Paranoid Androids hybrid set up.
I feel the tablet mode mod that exists now leaves something to be desired. That's not to say that I don't appreciate whoever came up with it to begin with, I would just like a little more polish.

I was browsing the s3 mini forums and they have a port of s-view(the thing that changes your screen when you have a flip cover

Now whenever you hover your hand over the front cam or the proximity sensor near it.. The phone will launch s view..

If it still doesn't work then download it again from play.

[Q] Keyboard mic button options

I've looked everywhere I can think of and didn't see this answered anywhere. I'm using stock jellybean 4.3 and my keyboard button with the mic doesn't have the options of replacing the mic with a different key such as comma and question mark. Does anyone know how I can get those options back? Picture shows what I'm talking about better.

I'm tracking that there is something like it on the right side of the keyboard. But what I'm looking for is the option to replace the mic with a different punctuation. The key on the right side isn't able to be changed, the one on the left should be able to. Picture for reference.
