Note Pro Keyboard Custom Theme Downloads - Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps

Here are some custom themed Note Pro Keyboard apk files with screen shots available for download. Mikep2323 and I have been working on different themes and will post more as they become available. To install, just download the apk, change the name to SamsungIME.apk. Then using a file explorer of your choice (with superuser privilege) backup and delete the original apk from system/app and replace with a themed apk. Reboot, then with your file explorer navigate to the apk click on it and install with package installer. Once that is done you will need to go to settings/controls and enable Samsung keyboard as primary input and download your language dictionary in the keyboard settings.

Looks a bit different from the tab s keyboard. Is there a way too have both keyboards. Stock and themed?

I dont think so cause there both named SamsungIME.apk.You can always just rename one and keep them both in system/apps then change back and fourth if you wanted.I usually name the original one org.SamsungIME.apk then put the themed one in and if i want to change back to original i just change the names around reboot and original one is back there.Hope this helps.

Need some help to change some things on lockscreen

Hello, I just rooted my phone and I have CyanogenMod ROM on it and Apex Launcher right now. I want to change some things on my lockscreen but I don't know how to do that.
Here is my look screen right now: http://i.imgur.com/5CrbU.png
I want to take away the LV TELE 2| Tele2 thing on the bottom and then change the clock and date text, because it looks ugly in my opinion. Is there a way I could change that?
And also the circle above the Tele 2 text, can I change that? If so, how?
And also when i type an SMS, it vibrates when I type one letter, how can I remove that? I have tried to untick vibrate in settings but it doesnt work :S
Thanks in advance!

You wont get anybody helping you unless you post your topics in correct sections.
This is a development area, not n00b help desk.
[edit: topic moved now]
Yeah, this is really the wrong section.
Read the rules again and everything's fine.
So, for deleting carrier name, just google, there's a tutorial.
Is changing the font enough?
Then just replace the fonts at /system/fonts. (You can find the correct one by the name.)
And the circle. Decompile your framework-res.apk and look for the graphics at the hdpi folder.
If you don't know, how to do this, google. It's easy, if you know how to do.

That's the only thing I found on Google, but that's only changing the carrier name.
Where can I download fonts?
I can't find the folder /system on my sdcard.
What should I google about the circle? Like "How to delete circle on apex launcher lockscreen"?
Thanks!

If this apps works for you, you can use it to set the carrier name to ' '?
You can find some nice fonts here. http://www.dafont.com, http://www.1001freefonts.com/
Or if you want to use fonts, which are already on your computer, they're located at: C:\Windows\Fonts
So, to change them.
The folder /system isn't on you sd. It's on your phone.
You can view this folder, if you download any root explorer app from the market.
Then you can find the /fonts folder and replace some fonts.
For example there's the font 'DroidSans.ttf', rename the font to 'DroidSans.bak' and then copy some downloaded font into this folder. Then change the name from (for example) Arial.ttf to DroidSans.ttf.
Reboot your device, and it's ready.
There's a app, which is easier, but with this method, you know, what you're doing, and you learn something.
But, just in case, the name of the app is 'Font Changer', you can find it in the Play Store.
The circle on the lockscreen..
To change it, you have to copy you framework-res.apk, which is located at /system/framework to your sd and then to your computer. (Or you upload it to dropbox or someting else, just bring it to your computer. xD)
Then rename it to 'framework-res.zip', after this you can open it by winrar or 7zip.
Go to the hdpi folder in res and search the image of the circle.
Then delete it, and put your own image (it should have the same dimensions) into the archive. But important! Don't select 'normal compression' or anything else, just 'save'!
If you have this done, change the file extension again to '.apk' and put it to your sd.
Then, copy it with any file manager, and paste it into /system/framework.
This can brick you device, so create a cwm backup before!
It worked succesfully for me with 'ES File Manager/Explorer', but only with the method, where the dialog 'Replace?' appears. So don't first delete the framework-res.apk
Okay, and for vibration.
Go to settings, keyboard, keyboard settings, and uncheck vibration. That's it.
Now my hands hurt.^^

I have no clue what font I should use but I'll see which one I will download because there are so many
I don't think I will change the circle on the lockscreen because It seemed hard and I'm to "noob" to do that and I don't wanna brick it. But I'll save that information If I wanna do it later.
If I go to settings, I can't see anything saying keyboard or keyboard settings.( But It doesn't vibrate anymore when I write messages on facebook) kinda weird :S
Got 3 other questions xD maybe off-topic but hope you can answer them
1. I recently rooted my phone and put on CyanogenMod 9 and now I have Apex Launcher Pro on it. But I can't find my contacts or where I add contacts so I can save my friends phone number. Do I have to download an app for this?
2. When I'm on my lockscreen and wanna unlock it, I drag it and it unlocks. But It vibrates when I drag it, is there a way to delete this vibrating?
3. I've used Swiftkey 3 keyboard but I don't like it so I want a new one. I loved the keyboard I had before I rooted on ICS verision 4.0.3. Is there a way to get that keyboard now in root? If not, do you have suggestions for me which keyboard I should download? I don't want one that they correct the words I write, only a simpel and easy keyboard.
Thanks in advance!

Try Ubuntu font, google for it.
No? Or 'input settings'?
There's no contacts app? Maybe it's just hidden in apex launcher. Go to apex settings, drawer settings. And check the hidden apps. Or look in the apps section in the normal settings, if contacts/people app exist?
Hmm, in miui, there's an option for the vibrating. But as far as I know, in cm not. But you can google for it, maybe there's a mod or control panel, which includes this.
Yes, I hate auto correction too. It's very bad if you write in different languages..
In the settings of swiftkey, you should be able to disable the auto correction. You can access the settings directly via the keyboard. There's a key for this.
But I prefer the stock ics keyboard. (Play store: ics keyboard) It's very simple and you can disable auto correction and vibration too.
I hope, I helped.

For renaming, you don't have to open the file.
Just press long at the file, and there should be a popup, with options like 'rename', 'copy', 'cut', 'open', 'properties' etc.
If there's no option to rename it, use another file manager, like 'es file manager' or 'root explorer'.

Of course, mate.
If you're using es, go to settings, scroll down and enable 'root-explorer' and 'mount file system'.
Then there should be a popup of superuser, just accept it.
After replacing the fonts, remember to set the correct permissions, too.

Worked I think, did everything you wrote before in this thread. But the font didn't change on the lockscreen. Is there another file I should rename or change too in order for it to change font on the clock on the lockscreen?
Ooo alena gilbert...lol
Ok you can edit framework-res.apk for that... and for font in lockscreen i think change font with something like clock in name with one of your choice.. dont remember exact name....

DroidSans.ttf was just an example.
So, I'm not sure, but try Clockopia.ttf.
But a while ago, I used a cm-build, where the lockscreen font was named something like. 'androidclock.ttf'
So just look, maybe you can guess it via the name, which font it is. If not, you can copy them to your pc and click on it, then windows let you view the font. Then you just have to look for these special numbers of the lockscreen clock. And the last way is to use font changer.

[Q] How to change Lock Screen Icons style/look?

First of all sorry for my english
Now question: How can I change my LockScreen Icons from stock to look like this one?
(I really was looking for some kind of info in and out the forum but didn't find anything)
Thank you anyway
I think you want to change which icons are used? Don't worry, I had the same problem finding the location too.
Go to:
Settings, Security and Lock Screen, Lock Screen Options, Shortcuts.
How this helps!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
you would have to change the icon in apk itself unless someone creates a mod which allows changing them.
res/drawable-xhdpi

1. Pull the apk from your phone to PC (Use root explorer or something similar) - ex. SecPhone.apk for changing Phone icon
2. add ".zip" to its name at the end.
3. Open with winzip
4. find and replace the old icon with new one
Which apk is the lockscreen apk?
You need to pull the SystemUI.apk from \System\APP folder in your ROM or flashable rom file
then open the .APK with Winzip
goto res/drawable-xhdpi folder and edit the Icons as wanted,
Delete the SystemUI.zip from the flashable ROM
Click add ZIP and re add the new SystemUI.zip to the flashable package
Go into CWM and Flash
New try

[Q] Can we use Galaxy Grand Keyboard app on S2?

Hi Guys,
I want to know if we can use Samsung Galaxy Grand's keyboard app (samsungIME.apk) on Samsung Galaxy S2?
The reason I'm asking this is that I like the additional row for numbers that can be accessed easily. I know that there are few threads with the same topic but all of them focus on using the note 2's keyboard app. I'm asking for Grand's keyboard app because S2 and Grand have the same screen resolution 480 x 800 (although the screen sizes are different). I'm not sure if this will help in better compatibility and less rework on the porting.
Guy I need help here. Please come out and lets make it a success. I want to keep things as close to stock as possible. Can someone post the stock keyboard app (samsungIME.apk) from Samsung Galaxy Grand?
Here you go the ported s note 2 keyboard
https://www.box.com/shared/kefoo20qp43fubnji061
Is working only on stock rom.
and you should know that galaxy grand keyboard and note 2 kb are the same
here's a link to clarifying you
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_grand_i9082-review-903p6.php
scroll to the bottom and you'll see the proof
I tried to use the apk you have provided but it didn't worked. It is still the same keyboard and there is no additional row with numbers. This is what I did after taking a backup of my original samsungime.apk and samsungime odex from system/app :
1# First I tried to install the apk like a normal app. It didn't get installed, pretty obvious.
2# I tried to copy the apk into system/ app folder using root browser lite. Reboot. it is still the same old keyboard.
3# I tried to change the permission, similar to other system apps in system/app folder. Reboot. Its still the same old keyboard.
Can you tell me how to get it done correctly.

How to incorporate AOSP Keyboard

I am trying to replace the default Samsung Keyboard on the Sprint Galaxy Note 2 with the AOSP Keyboard for version 4.1.2. I have copied what I thought were the correct apk's into the system\app folder in ROM and removed the SamsungIME.apk. When I try it it looks like no keyboard is installed. I have no way to type. Can anyone help me with incorporating this into my rom?
Thanks in advance
Go to settings-language/input select your keyboard. May have to uncheck then recheck the selection box first too

Extract the .lib files from the keyboard .apk(s) and copy them into the folder /system/lib/. I prefer using Root Browser. If using root browser, click on the keyboard apk file and click view. Navigate to the lib folder and extract them (Root Browser extracts them to /sdcard/Extracted/). Copy each one to /system/lib/ and change the permissions (for each one) to rwxrwxrwx (all 9 boxes checked or chmod 0777). That's how I made the new Google Keyboard a system app on my device.

More system fonts for ZV6 roms

Wasting a couple hours on this, trying to figure it out and finally have. Rather than use iFont or something, I wanted to figure out how to make default system fonts for my daily driver--BarRin v3 currently. I edited the system_fonts.xml file and added some fonts, changed some file names, and got it working.
Includes: AlteHaas, AnkeSans, Azbuka06, Bitstream, Caviardreams, Comfortaa, DejaVuSans, MgOpenModerna, MuseoSans500, SuiGeneris, Ubuntu, Zrnic for now.
So here's what you need to do if you want to add system changeable fonts to stock ZV6 and BarRin:
1. Download and unzip attached HyFonts.zip
2. Using a file explorer w/ root (I personally like FX File Explorer but whatever works for you), copy and paste all the fonts from HYFonts folder to system/fonts after making system writable
3. copy the system_fonts.xml in HYFont folder to system/etc overwriting current one, change system back to read only
4. reboot
Profit
Enjoy
LTE to 4G icon
Got tired of looking at the "LTE" on statusbar, did some research including changing build prop and didn't like it (ie ro.build.target_county: US ro.build.target_operator: VZW). Changing Sprint's network icon png's for 3/4G would be too time consuming, so I changed only two icons that account for the the "LTE" on statusbar in LGSystemUI.apk, the rest of the icons are stock. Did not require any decompiling/recompiling, just replaced two png's after properly sizing/positioning them using GIMP and paint.net from an image found w/ google.
4G as seen in screenshot instead of LTE. For those that are interested download and extract zip file, copy/paste LGSystemUI.apk to device's system/priv-app w/ root explorer, reboot, profit
More 4G choices
here is another LGSystemUI w/LTE icon changed to 4G, screenshot of SPR version only, also attached are ATT 4G w/LTE letters, ATT 4G (noLTE letters). Follow instructions from post #2
Edit: sorry png images not showing up, just google att 4g icon for image
Thank you for the post! I had a thread over in Q&A looking for this information.
Just to verify, these fonts will show up in the stock font picker? And do I replace the existing system_fonts.xml with the new one or just copy the new one alongside the existing one?

Replace the existing one with one from post. Here's a screenshot
@Valsorim Have you by any chance looked to see if this works for ZV8?

Not yet, at work tonight, can check tomorrow
Edit: So tried adding fonts to ZV8, it's a no go for me. I will try to look at it soon, but not really liking stock ZV8, so sticking w BarRin v3 for now
