Multi Windows from 4.1.2 to 4.3 ROMS - Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps

Hi guys,
I was wondering if there is a mod to use the multi windows from original note 2 rom to new 4.3 roms. The reason is the keyboard. In old roms when you had two apps running and wanted to write something in one of the windows, the keyboard appeared as a floating mini window. In note 3 the keyboard is the standard half-screen application and when it is needed it nearly fully covers one of the two window apps. This ruins IMHO the functionality of the multi window capability. What do you think?

There's an option in the new 4.3 sammy keyboard where you can change your keyboard layout to either floating, normal or one handed by pressing and holding the key besides symbols key.

[APP] Open Split Keyboard (Holo themed Tab Keyboard)

Open Split Keyboard has now been verified to work with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. This keyboard provides three different layouts: split keyboard, full keyboard, and one handed keyboard. It defaults to a holo theme, but can be switched to the Gingerbread or stone themes.
For details and updates see the original thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1144171

Nice find, I've been looking for a decent free thumb keyboard layout.
Doesnt work for me. Installed it but does not show up in keyboards to select from in tab 10.1 (16gb 3g version with new touchwiz version that comes by default in europe now).

It should be in Settings>Language & Input>Keyboard Settings>Configure input methods.
You have to check it to enable it to be chosen as a keyboard.
Works amazingly well. Love it.
Love this keyboard
Cool. Thanks.

Android 4.2.2 - Keyboard modification

Hi,
Is there any way to add new words automatically to the 4.2.2 keyboard dictionary?
It's really annoying to agree three times and then the keyboard closes in some apps.
SwiftKey adds them as you write them down without Flow/Swype for one time.
However I didn't stay by SwiftKey because I love the stock keyboard too much.
Anyone got a modification? I would be ok with an "one-click-add" as well.
Regards

[Q] Is there any ROMS with built in 3 by 3 keypad or samsung?

Essentially all phones I've used I've been using the 3 by 3 keypad, I know exactly where all the keys are and I can type much faster with it. I have found that since I've updated my phone from foxhound build, there seem to be no new builds that have the old fashion keypad. I don't know if it's just called the samsung keypad or what but I really prefer the old style I can actually type properly without having to focus too intently. That and my thumbs are wide and usually hit the wrong keys. Could someone point me to the right ROM or addition to be able to add to my phone. Currently using SuperNexus

[Q] [REQ] AOSP/AOKP 4.2.2 Keyboard for 4.12 ROM (Please bear with me here...)

I know that this looks like it has been asked a dozen times, but I assure you that I have looked high and low and have installed literally 10 or so keyboards trying to compare features.
Here's what I am looking for (if it's possible):
Looking for a port of the keyboard that comes with AOKP 4.2.2 Milestone 1 or later. I know that there are tons of Jellybean keyboards out there and they even have gesture typing, but the one that comes with AOKP has the long press alternate keys exactly where I want them as well as the right selection.
I have tried the Google Keyboard from the Play Store and it doesn't have the long press alternates (aside for a select few that aren't labled).
Does anyone know how I can get this keyboard to work on my Note II? I have even gone so far as to extract it from an AOKP ROM and it loads fine, however the gesture typing does not work (just shows the gesture trail but doesn't type anything)
Is this at all possible? Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance!

If AOKP is like the other AOSP Roms then the keyboard is the Google keyboard, unless they are using the older AOSP keyboard which is the same thing with a different name. AOKP may just use a different one but I doubt that.
Have you tweaked with the settings in the keyboard once installed to make sure the gesture trail is turned on?
You might get more help in the Themes section seeing how they deal with a lot of keyboards and mods for keyboards.

I tried everything. Gesture trail is turned on. The keyboard version is 4.2.2. Not really sure what else to do. Seems like maybe a lib file is missing or something.

Alternative Keyboard - Specifics inside

(I accidentally hit Q&A instead of regular post)
I am on the hunt for a new keyboard but have a few requirements.
I am currently using Jelly Bean Keyboard but it's showing its age and not playing well on Lollipop and the Dev appears to have abandoned it.
I like the long press on the letters for frequently used characters. I like that it has emojis as well as emoticon (standard text messaging symbol smileys). I like the swype. It is basically, actually exactly the CyanogenMod/AOSP Keyboard and would like something similar. All the keys are in convienient spots unlike other keyboards with long press. Importantly also it has a dedicated number row at the top.
I tried porting the CM keyboard by extracting the APK and latinime but it always either crashed or swipe didn't work.
Before you answer, Google Keyboard ≠ AOSP Keyboard.
