if it is allowed in. Paranoid, then there is a way to do.
Do you agree with me?

Just like the title says, I want to take the keyboard from the ICS leaks and put it on a custom ICS rom. Is this possible? I am rooted and do know basics about the android file system.
Thanks!

There is a port of it available from the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wxLDMsImNvbS5iZWFuc29mdC5iZWFuX2tleWJvYXJkIl0. Perhaps that will help.

Thanks for the suggestion. The reason I want the keyboard from the ICS leak is because it has bigger keys and is easier to type on. The stock ICS/JB keyboard has too small of keys for my big hands

I realized that I sent the wrong link, but I get your point. My bad on that. I would assume you can pull the apk from system/apps though. It should work. Good luck with it though.

Ok, so I extracted the update zip of the ICS Leak and I can't kind anything related to a keyboard under system/apps. It looks a lot like the ICS stock keyboard so it may just be a modified version of the built in keyboard. I may have to find an alternative keyboard or just get used to the smaller keys.
Thanks!
I want to root my Samsung Galaxy Note. This way I can download the keyboard changer app and have Swype set as my portrait keyboard and the split layout from Thumb Keyboard. I also want to change my DPI so that I can run Go Launcher HD. What is the easiest way to root my device running stock Android 4.0.4 without bricking or damaging my device?

Thanks. Can I ask how to get into and use the recovery mode needed to flash the root zip? Also will this cause the yellow triangle or any other potential problems I should know about and will it void any warranty I have?
Sent from my GT-N7000
Also, won't that method install BusyBox onto my device? What does that do as someone has said that it can cause problems?
Sent from my GT-N7000
Use second link on my signature
Use vol up + home + power to enter recovery mod
Super su flashing give u just supersu, not all appl which needs root still work
You need to flash busybox for that.
There is full set of guide.

So I need BusyBox? Okay. Will rooting my device void my warranty or possibly cause damage? Also, does anyone here have a recommended DPI for the Note. I want to be able to run Go Launcher HD. I also want to use two different keyboards for landscape and portrait.

yep if you bring routed phone in warrantee is void, most cases. You can unroot and then warrantee is not void.
DPI is dependant on rom and personal preferences. On stock, everything works at 240, except some updates and availability of apps. The stock dialer is cut off, so recommended is to use third party dialer. If you plan to use third party dialer you can go as low as to 220 but even more apps are unavailable and updates also.
Best tot test which is to your liking.
Paranoid Android has good per app dpi settings. CM9/10 like touchwiz officially dont support changing dpi, its still possible thought. AOKP is pretty good at all dpi's.
edit: if the doctor says you need it, you do. lol

Can only roms change DPI, or can this be done through the kernel as well?
Does increasing DPI make for a slower rom? Seems to be that increasing resolution would put more strain on the CPU/chip ... no?
Which DPI increasing rom would you recommend?
All responses appreciated!
Dpi is changed by editing the build. Prop file which is basically an ini file. It doesn't make any impact on rom speed, but some roms such as ics stock do not support <213 (tablet mode). It has nothing to do with kernel. You need to be rooted to adjust build. Prop.
If you're on stock, try 240 to start, quite nice. There are some Touchwizz apps that need adjusting for lower dpi such as dialler and launcher pages.

I'm currently on stock ICS, rooted, running speedmod kernel. I'll look into editing the Prop file. Thanks!
It's in root/system
Save a backup just in case, use root explorer

Well I took the lazy way and downloaded a DPI changer from the market, and ... it froze my phone at the loading screen. Nice. Had to revert to nandroid backup.
Any idea why changing DPI would freeze my phone?

Rom Toolbox is the only app for changing DPI successfully. All others will leave you in bootloops.
I think it's best you edit the file yourself and not an app... It happened to mee too a few times while using an app. Never had a freeze by editing the file it self.
but the market do give problems for me... can't download lots of apps or updates. If something know a way to fix it for good pls say so... couldn't find something that worked for me.

240. But from reading this thread and others I see that using DPI changers from the market is a bad idea. Lots of boot loops. Why the hell they would have the apks on the market in the first place if they don't work (and could lock your phone if you have no backup) is a mystery to me.
Oh well. I will take your advice and the advice of many here and try it manually.
EDIT: Okay. Used Root Explorer and changed DPI to 240 myself. Booted fine. But I can't really say I can see that much of a difference ... think I'll try going just a bit lower.
Use density changer from Play. No bootloops, Play Store is fine. Running ICS stock here. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5tYXJ1dGlhbi5kcGljaGFuZ2VyIl0.
Is it true that changing only works for Aosp/Aokp roms? Like cm7/9/10 ? Is there no way to let a sense rom running on 160 dpi?

Switching Roms for testing something out sucks, my friends a keeping me stressed with messages ^^
Back then I read sth about an app called sth like DPI Manager/changer (sth like that). Can't remember the full name. Maybe that app can do that, but I don't really know.
Yeah, there are enough apps for that in market, but the last try on a sense Rom (ics, Sense 3.6.) everything was force closing, even after data/cache/dalvik wip. Trying now on Mikrunny v1.01
Looking for an app or theme to change my ICS stock status bar icons color to blue or other strong color to be easy to read for old people:crying:
as in pic.
Edit : found : ICS Blue Omega StatusBar and colored Themes, but not liking it, any one can recommend another one ?

You can do them manually by editing the system UI and changing some settings.. but you need to be rooted for that.. or yes PA is a custom rom which has feature of changing status bar color and icons

this is sound interesting, iam rooted, so how to do it?
Do you have cwm recovery ? Backup, wipe, flash rom+gapps zips. Reboot.
If u dont have cwm recovery flash a recovery image using odin or heimdall.
Dont know how to do that? Search/google.

Use a deodexed rom
Flash ultimate jb v5.1
But use philz kernel for that
Peace of a cake
You can also change somethings with rom toolbox pro
