New Google handwriting app - replace Sam's keyboard - Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps

Hi, am giving everyone a head's up on Google's new Handwriting Input app. Perfect for use with our S Pen.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.handwriting.ime&hl=en
For me, I use Google's KB (not Samsung's) and switch back & forth between normal and handwriting KB. You switch between input methods from within each app - no need to use Settings to switch. So it's practical as well, though not as seamless as Sammy's keyboard.
But I find Google's swipe feature much better than Sam's so the inclusion of the handwriting app is purely excellent. Hope it works for you too.

Wouldn't install on my note 4! Play Store says "incompatible with all of your devices".. did you guys install from the Play Store? or sideloaded?

Download from here and enjoy
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...e-handwriting-input-1-0-android-apk-download/

no hebrew support . But Samsung KB do support

I installed it from Play store but I do not like it:
1. No button to switch to a normal keyboard. They shoud have integrated it with their normal keyboard;
2. After every word I have to wait to recognize it because if write two words with space the keyboard think it is one word;
3. There is no option to scroll thru all the text and correct it.

Regarding point 3, tap and hold the globe to the left of space bar to stitch input methods

I've found it to be better at picking up my handwriting in the 2 days I've used it than the Sammy one is after 6 months of use, so it's a no brainer, I'm keeping the google one

Ultimate Rotate Control - Force Reverse Landscape (and similar apps)

Just thought I'd point people to this app I found in the market:
https://market.android.com/details?...?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm5sLmZhbWVpdC5yb3RhdGUiXQ..
My case (Like most of them) positions the Tab upside down in the "typing angle" mode, which I found frustrating because some apps override the auto rotation and put themselves in Landscape mode, which makes them upside down when using the case. This app is the only one I found that will force any app into any orientation, so it overcomes the issue.
The only problem is if you set it to Forced auto mode, some apps that are designed to run in portrait mode will be forced into landscape mode. This can be useful for some apps, but some will not be happy and either be unusable to crash.
I have nothing to do with this app but found it useful.
Updates:
Note: This is a 7 day free trial but then you need to pay for the license app.
I did suggest the developer add an app-specific setting so you could exclude apps that don't run well with auto forced rotation or just enable it on those apps that need it. He added the ability to use it with Tasker as a way to do this. I haven't used Tasker so I can't say how well it works. It would be nicer if this was built into the app but at least it's an option for those using/willing to use Tasker.
Another paid app I noticed that seems to work similarly is:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...S5jb2luc29mdC5hbmRyb2lkLm9yaWVudGNvbnRyb2wiXQ..
I haven't tried that one so I can't personally recommend it but based on the comments it seems to work similarly. Slightly cheaper but no trial period.
Finally, blindbox found this one, which is free:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wxLDEsInJ1YmJlcmJpZ3BlcHBlci5PcmllbnRhdG9yIl0.
I tried it and it does work but it places a floating button on the screen (not in the notification area) which you can use to toggle forced portrait or reverse X/Y (as an option in the settings) - press once to force, long press to disable. I don't like how it works compared to Ultimate Rotate Control, but it is free so give it a shot to see if it's adequate for you.
Nice find.
awesome!
Works great!! perfect for minimalistic text and myalbum..
Should be on roms!
GREAT, nice find!

You might want to put in the OP that this is a 7-day trial; this is one of those annoying apps that requires two apps if you buy it (one for the app and one for the license). BTW-if the dev does read this: This tactic of making a trial app look like a full free app and burying the "7-day trial" language at the bottom of the description is a bit of a bait and switch. You'll lose as many customers as you'll make.

Has anyone found another app that can do this? I have the Samsung book cover case and Gameloft along with some of my other apps will not rotate upside down. I am thumbing through some apps now seeing if they work.
Try an app called 'Display orientator'. forgot the name of the guy who made it but it's free and it's on the market. Name os exactly the same as the one in the quotes.
Oh, too lazy to edit but anyway, the guy who made ot is rubberbigpepper

What keyboard to use?

Fellow modders, could you please suggest some good Keyboards?
The problem is that there probably won't be a good swype-like keyboard available for Serbian language for a long time (there are simply too many word-forms and irregular forms per word). I've been trying to get used to Swype (the latest version) for 2 weeks now, but it's simply not possible, their Serbian dictionary is not really big and I have to type in manually at least one new word per a message which then completely destroys any speed effect that swyping has I've added ~150 my words so far, but I still have to write in new ones all the time... And wnex ord prediction is non existent, Swype sucks at predicting words. The good thing about Swype is that it keeps the standard 26 letter keyboard (all Ć, Č and C are under C; Š and S are under S etc).
I've also tried the latest SwiftKey X. The problem with it is that it shows all 30 letters of Serbian Latin script and that makes the key too small... The dictionary and word prediction seems a lot better than it is on Swype, but the keys are just so small I couldn't find an option to switch to a 26 letter keyboard while using the Serbian dictionary
So, after weeks of experimenting, I would like to return to the usual way of typing - letter by letter. What keyboard would you recommend for this?
The best keyboard for letter by letter typing on Gingerbread was that HTC one, it was A LOT better than the 2.3 AOSP keyboard! But it doesn't work on anything higher than Android 2.3
Coming to ICS and JellyBean, the AOSP keyboard has been greatly improved, but I find the keys a bit too small for our screens and when I type fast, mistakes happen all the time
I will try to use SwiftKeyX as a regular keyboard, without Serbian and "Flow" enabled, but would you recommend any more? Are there any good brand-made keyboards for Android 4.x? Sony/Xperia, Samsung/TouchWiz, HTC/Sense?
*sorry for the terribly long post*
I remember seeing a HTC Sense keyboard somewhere for ICS+. I'll post the link if I find it.

I've switched from Swype to Swiftkey and have been using it for the past week or so and deleted it last night. The more I used it, the worse the predictions and the corrections became... The Xperia keyboard is nice, but the keys are utterly to small for me, I couldn't achieve any speed or precision
I will try TouchPal and Kii keyboards in the following days, maybe one of these two will work out for me
If not, I've also signed up for the Minuum keyboard beta and I'm waiting for them to contact me.... (you can sign up here - http://minuum.com/ )
I also was searching for good keyboard for our "small" screens.
Also i needed Serbian letters and Ћирилица. I tested a lot of them and last 1 year i am using Smart Keyboard Pro.
You can edit everything you want. There is also calibration so can be calibrated it to your usage.

Thanks, mate, will check it out for sure
I have tested Kii Keyboard and Touchpal since my last post. Kii Keyboard is not on par with the bigger names (like Swype, Touchpal and Swiftkey), it just doesn't feel that mature. I didn't find it enjoyable.
Touchpal was very good for my needs, but I couldn't turn off its "toolbar" (that's how they call its word suggestion line, because it has shortcuts to some tools) which was very irritating

There's a lot keyboards at marketplace for sure but i never found any keyboard that i can change everything i want, there is always that something need to stay or i am missing something from reall keyboard. When you are typing, some suffs are just anoying and that was:
- Turn off complitlly text predirection, only Auto-capitalizion to stay,
- add enter button,
- remove speaker button,
- remove smiley button,
- remove or change popup button (usually that can makes small deley when you type fast, so without it you can type how much fast you want)
- having " , " and " . " at same time
- control extra space
- having normal, not some colored styles
- support for needed language and when i use it, i don't need to use that layout. So when i am using Serbian language, i dont need to have changed letters Z ana Y. English layout can be used.
- Calibration is incredible, its impossible to wrote wrong word with it. I dont understand how perfect can be but it is. I just will never learn to use touch screen for type message
- after all after you restore backup from memory card, calibration and all settings are same as you saved them.
There is so much more stuffs that i didn't found on other keyboard but i just need them. That was the only reason why i hated this phone when i buyed it At first look i tought that its impossible to write normal messages without 30% of bad typed words but after this one, i found it possible. Maybe there is many peoples who will find that less important but when you wrote some important mail or something, i don't wanna spend 10 minutes more to find all strings or keys i always need.
Phone is just incredible and i want to make it most possible incredible that i can

I know, and Swiftkey and Touchpal have those features as well, but I don't want to use text prediction and auto-correction... I've tried living with those features for almost a month and it didn't work out, the Serbian dictionaries available for keyboards are not very good and the amount of word forms covered is very low...
Thanks for the suggestion, though
@EmptySD Downloaded Smart Keyboard Pro, will test soon! And don't worry, your English is good enough to get the message across :good:

Which I did But then SwiftKey didn't make much noise, because the keys are more cramped up than they are on the AOSP keyboard and, furthermore, the symbols were strangely positioned and smileys weren't as accessible as on the AOSP one, so...
But it doesn't matter, because Smart Keyboard Pro is just what I needed A tad bigger keys than on the AOSP keyboard and that's it. Everything is in the same place, but I have a higher speed combined with a better accuracy
Thanks goes out to all of you who had any suggestions!

How to (sort of) get back the better Google Keyboard

I know quite a few n10 users were a little ticked when Google Keyboard was updated, and a few features were lost. This is quick way to (sort of) get the functionality (plus a little more!) back!
Go to Settings/language&input/google keyboard settings/advanced settings/custom input styles/Add Style.
Set your language, then set Layout to PC, hit Add (You can also set Dvorak here if you want!
Hit Enable
Check the box for (yourlanguage) (PC)
Go to anywhere the keyboard is used (Eg, Google)
Notifications-choose input style
Choose (your language) (PC)
?????
Profit!

It does seem to work. But, within the first hour or so after getting Kit Kat, losing the keyboard was enough of a pizzer that I checked out alternatives, and ended up buying Keyboard Pro from the Play Store. It cost a couple of bucks, but was worth it for the cursor keys. Don't think I will be going back to the Google PC Keyboard.

INKredible: The best note taking app

Ever since I've switched to Android I've always wondered if there was an app that could offer the same writing experience the iPad apps had. Papyrus was one of them, however with this screen resolution I don't enjoy it anymore.
And then I spotted this gem.
INKredible has by far the best note taking experience this tablet can offer.
The devs have just begun porting their ios app (notes plus) to Android, therefore there're not a lot of features baked into the app yet.
The app has matured pretty well over the past 1.5 years, as expected
So be sure to show your support too the devs, as it may help in speeding up this process
Download the app, make some in app purchases and make this app even greater :good:
Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.viettran.INKredible&hl=nl
I'd like to know your note taking experience with this app and how it compares to other note taking apps.
If you know an equally good(or better) one be sure to tell us aswell.
Comparable app(s):
-FiiNote (mentioned by crypta: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61466857&postcount=14)
turn-offs
slow rendering
the only pen worthwhile is the pencil pen (under paint mode) but it's not resizeable)
-S Note
Key features that have been successfully added since I posted this thread:
-Touch with finger to erase (s-pen only mode)
-Enable shape detection
-Page zoom lock (helps with accidental zooms while writing)
-PDF import support (can't be imported in an exiting notebook; in app purchase)
-Folder management
-Black paper background
-Misc. performance improvements
-(last edited 25-03-2016)
Wish list:
-Optimize the scrolling/zooming animations under Samsung ROMs, they are really jagged and jarring.
-An intuitive way to compare pages of the same/different notebook(s). Maybe a split-screen within the app.
-The ability to import pdf's within an existing notebook.
-Writing near the left and right edges triggers the app's gestures, make it ignore these gestures when using the s-pen.
-The 'Touch with finger to erase (s-pen only mode)' feature requires a tap to activate, this feels inefficient and unnecessary.
-(last edited 25-03-2016)
I just tried it. Its got very nice hand writing rendering, better than Papyrus and LectureNotes and on par with S-Notes. Very clean intetface. S-pen button works too (you hear that Papyrus!!!) But I dont like how you can't disable finger writing all together like Papyrus. No text input or means to cut and paste from within your notes AFAIK.
I havent been able to find any kind import functionality either which pretty much ruins it for me.
Its a great start though. I hope they continue to improve it.

Features wise its very minimalistic (I think they're trying to perfect the writing xp first), however that won't be the case for long.
I didn't realise that the spen button had a function within inkcredible , did you disable the default button action via the GMD s-pen app?
I don't really agree with it being an par with snotes, its more like the other way around.
Snotes has a decent note taking experience, if you compare it with a blackboard writing style then its without opactity variances but with thickness variances (also there are no thickness drops if you set the stroke thickness to 10 or 11). Plus ,in my opninion, INKredible feels and appears more natural.
The moment we get some more features I'll be uninstalling snotes and papyrus

I just disabled air commands. If I press the stylus button while hovering, it switches back and fours between eraser and pen. Very nice feature. I don't understand why Papyrus devs are so adament about Samsung being at fault for their lack of s-pen button support. Both Lecturenotes and now Inkredible support it now, even without GMD!

Yes, it has something to do with the samsung spen SDK not being present in cm12...though I could be wrong.
Checkout https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.android.sdk.spen30 .
It may have been updated for android 5.0. But the last time I checked it was for kitkat only.
Spen SDK is not required to recognise spent button presses. This functionality is built into android since android 4.0.

I have note 3 (official lollipop) and note 2014 (kitkat). the spen button switch is not working on inkredible on the note 3.
It is possible because of lollipop.
Dear friends!
I'm really appreciate for your supporting and help our small app's recognized by many more potential users. We've been working hard to make the app more useful and add features to make it works as your main note-taker app, Just hope that day coming soon.
Anyway new version is just waiting the translations and will land on the Play store in a few days.
What’s new in 1.6
- Support "Insert Image" feature
- Apply new S Pen SDK -> solve issue with Lollipop on Samsung device
- Introduce “App Settings”
- Improve selection gesture
- Many bugs fixed & improvements
- Allow rotating, grouping, lock/unlock aspect ratio, ... objects
- Allow zoom out to minimum 90%
Thank you again for your supporting
Looked at it briefly and sorry to say this, but e.g. FIINotes is far superior - at least from the productive point of View.

There's no denying it from that point of view, I've tried using it today and I can safely say that the writing experience is a dissapointment.
The mode I tried for hadwriting is called paintmode. The second brush was the most promising, however I couldn't set the thickness of it. And I don't like that standard faded thickness.
Also INKredible pens have more smoothening applied to them.
For me its pointless arguing about features until the writing experience of both apps is at an acceptable level; I didn't switch over from paper only to have a bad writing experience on a glass surface.
Compared to paper, digital writing is 'infinitely' more productive(featured). So why pick an app over another app just because it has more features (if the latter has a better writing experience).
infinite+10(features) is still infinite

Well I enjoy wrting on glass more then on paper nowadays, I found myself writing in a more neater way because I always correct sloppy writing due to my OCD.
So now I write more neater because of that. Also I now enjoy the low friction of glass more then the friction of paper...strangely
If I'm making smooth handwriting motions, I don't want to see jankey/jittery graphics on my glass, it just hurts my brain. That hurting trows all the features out of the window.

I have to say that Google handwriting keypad is by far the best ever made it even out matches Samsung and my script keypads.

[MOD] Disable SwiftKey Prediction

This module permanently disables prediction/autocomplete/completion bar within SwiftKey keyboard.
Future versions/updates of SwiftKey might break this mod. Tested working agains versions 5.0.1.87, 5.0.2.4, 5.0.3.26, and 5.0.4.93. EDIT: No longer true as of v0.2 which should be futureproof.
Disable SwiftKey Prediction is available from Xposed Module Repository (source).
It also disables flow. Is that suppose to happen?

It is because whole prediction is disabled and flow depends on it. Solution for using flow would be only hiding the bar (while prediction/completion would still work) but I have no real intention for this as I don't use it and to get rid of all prediction effects, disabling it fully is still required. Maybe Suggestions Toggle would work better for you (but I don't use flow so I don't know...).
@moneytoo thanks for the mod. Now its perfect.
Anyway to make long press space to toggle keyboards like Google stock keyboard?
I'm just curious but why did you want to create this mod? Prediction is the main attraction of SwiftKey. I mean, otherwise I would use any other keyboard. Just wondering and no offense meant.

I want a nice looking black/dark keyboard (the stock one on my S5 is light). My primary language is Czech which (thanks to Czech declension) can never work as good as in English. I do not write texts anyway - I use it mainly for entering urls in browser so I prefer not to waste screen space as I want to see more search suggestions in browsers (or addresses history) etc.
I hate to be one of those people that asks irrelevant things in a thread, but since you are familiar with the inner workings of the Swiftke.apk, I figured you might be able and willing to help. The one thing I dislike about swiftkey is the auto-space feature that it has. Meaning after you type in a word, it automatically adds a space after. This is a huge pain in the butt when it comes to entering passwords and usernames. Do you know what file(s) in the apk would be responsible for this behavior? I could probably figure out how to change it, I just don't know where to look.

i thought the same when i saw this thread. that is pretty much the whole point of the keyboard (and flow for rapid typing), unless you only use it swiftkey for colorful themes lol, there are far better keyboards than swiftekey if you're only interested in themes. IMO
but you can disable the annoying automatic word correcting as i mention below (which is an annoying) while still keeping the prediction bar (which is very good just to use as spell checker too).

that only happens (i think) if you have "complete the current word" or "always insert a prediction" selected in settings >advanced>spacebar completion mode. i have mine at "always insert a space" and ironically it doesn't insert a space only when you select a word from the prediction bar.
you can keep the prediction bar enabled and stop auto prediction and adding a space (where words are automatically corrected in input field you didn't want) by selecting the option i mentioned above.

No it still happens, this is how I have it set and it still auto spaces which is annoying.

For 1 whole year I regularly contacted Swiftkey and asked to fix this they never fixed it, issue is Swiftkey is taking COPIED text as TYPED text. It should take typed words only (this is big reason behind inaccurate/unneeded word prediction). Could you do something about it?
Below is the email i wrote to Swiftkey:
There is one ANNOYING feature I found in Swiftkey. I checked this twice thrice and informing you. The problem is: Saving the words what we type is good but BAD/WORST part is, it also saves the words when you just copy text from other sources for example: Copying random text or paragraph from webpages, Ebooks and Documents. Those text are NOT TYPED by the user and those words get copied to internal dictionary of Swiftkey which I don't like to be predicted while I type. I copy some stuff from webpages to read it later but it doesn't mean that I like all the words in that copied text and it should not add in internal dictionary of swiftkey. Please fix this ASAP.
P.S. I have English and Hindi language packs installed. Experiment yourself. Just copy the below words in text file and save it. I would never use the below words ever. While typing, long press on the below words and hit 'Do not predict again'. It will not predict. But when you open the text file you saved and select and copy those words, they will simply added to the dictionary of Swiftkey and you'll see them come across while you type.

i always wanted to use Swiftkey because it looks good, but i hated the fact you can't turn prediction off. THANK YOU.
there is one minor bug though. the keyboard size gets messed up after changing the screen rotation. it ends up being either too tall or too short?
using it on stock-ish Note 3.

It seemed to me kinda weird one time I rotated it with keyboard opened... I see it now and will check it.

tnx, i hope you can fix it
I thought it was the obfuscated method name but it is still the same. Seems like this was caused by later versions of SwiftKey - my two months old version is ok. So it's either waiting whatever new version will fix that or go through changes within apk and attempt to fix "their" bug. I will probably try in the next few days but no promise - it's really low priority for me.
thanx
thank you so much, i hated that bar. Finally. I don't know why they don't offer that option. They have that option in ios. It makes me angry how unthoughtful people are.
Swift Keyboard Rotation Bug
I absolutely love this mod mixed with the fact that you can change the size of keyboard. Both of these combined allow me to go landscape and still be able to see conversation while typing. Same bug though when I rotate it resizes to all sorts of weirdness. Would be like the greatest thing ever if you could fix. I know you said low priority but I would soooo donate if u could figure out.
This Mod disables "Quick Period with double tap spacebar" as well. I reckon that is not supposed to happen.
not working on 5.1.0.60
this mod doesn't work for me anymore on the new version 5.1.0.60
Great fix but unfortunately doesn't seem to work on latest version of SwiftKey, tried to downgrade to 5.0.5.95 but can't install previous version somehow .. Waiting for some update mate
