Samsung keyboard long press - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just noticed my long press symbols have disappeared from the samsung keyboard. I am root and I tried ticking the "show keyboard characters" in wanam xposed and after reboot still no keyboard characters. Any idea how to get them back?

That's odd! I just checked and I still have all my symbols. I don't see anything in settings to turn them on or off either. Wish I could be more help, but I hope you find a solution.

Hey! I had this same exact problem. It happened when I installed Wanam on knoxraid v4.5. I didnt even choose to have the symbols removed, it just happened forcefully when I first ran Wanam. The problem is in the feature.xml file in system/csc. Wanam edited it to remove the secondary symbols. I tried reverting it by crawling through the code but it never worked. I had to re-flash the ROM. :/
I prefer Gravity Box now. It seems to be more stable and works just fine with KitKat.

I had the same problem. Go to Xposed installer, and download "Samsung Keyboard Alt Symbols". That should bring them back.

This WORKED!
In addition to Thanks, let me emphatically state HOW MUCH I LOVE A THREAD WHICH ENDS WITH A SOLUTION!
(as opposed to most threads that do not, or an OP, after finding a solution elsewhere, doesn't bother to return to the thread they started and post the solution, work around or whatever they may have found)
Kudos!
EDIT: It occurs to me that my post now makes this thread NO LONGER end in a solution! Well, I quoted the solution so it's still there in the new final post. I just wanted to point that out before any wise guys tried pointing it out for me :snicker!:

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for this thread!
This was driving me crazy and I hadn't noticed at which point they disappeared since I did several things with my tablet today. When Shooter mentioned wanam, I knew that's one of the things I installed today too so yup, that was obviously the culprit here too.
Did you notice that a lot of the Wanam tweaks that work on JB 4.3 no longer work properly on KK 4.4... looks like this is just another to add to the list. Perhaps we should go mention it in that module's xda thread...
Anyhoo, thanks again to @shooter445 for asking, and @ZOMBIExM4STER for the very helpful answer! I'm on a Samsung Note tablet but this thread came up in a search and it was still applicable to me.

Thanks for being the lag rat
Yay! Thank you crawjr. You've been doing an awful lot around here man. Good works.
I think this really aught to go into the development section, it would get more attention and I think it fits the classification.
*internet forum high five*
Thanks much! Samsung gives us a menu option of what log we want to narrow it down to but only as a radial button to pick one. I wish they would make it a checkbox option and the ability to pick multiple logs to show at the same time. That way people could customize for what THEY want to see.

great idea. Hrmm... I wonder. Is this something a dev could manage? I'm not savvy enough to work out anything like that.
Or even to just add to the stock selection list of:

I linked to the wrong one. Its deodexed.
I am experiencing the same issue with force closes when using SMS. I am running
[Odin]Stock EH06 Deodexed with CWM 3.1.0.1/Root/Busybox 1.19/Working Browser and
[MOD]EH06/EG22/themed_8_lockscreens/StatusBar[MOD][Maddoggin][UPDATE 8/16/11] and [Hack] [EH06] [DEODEX]AIO MOD
Is there any way to REMOVE this fix? I'd rather have the SMSs in the log than have the FCs every time I hit the menu button.
And it did wipe out all of my logs when I flashed it.
I'm fully prepared to just ODIN EH06 again, but it would be nice if I didn't have to.
Of course I didn't do a backup before flashing this file.

Thanks. I'll keep that handy.
Since I hadn't done that much, I just used ODIN and started fresh.
I'm debating trying it again, because that phone log including SMS is really annoying. But so far, it's the only thing not working right for me.

Which 8 lock mod are you using? I had the problem with the clean blue version and I tried Shanes version from honeycomb and it still did it. Doesn't happen with his theme and I don't recall it happening on the stock version of 8 lock.

I'm using the mod for STOCK EH06-- EH06_stock_locks.zip
I thought that was the one I had to use, since there is no theme installed. But I'm realizing that if I had used another one, it would have installed that theme... correct?
I then flashed the AIO mod over that. So I still look kind of stock. Except for the themed GoLauncherEX.
Which I'm very pleased to say has working Gmail notifications, since the Stock ROM had Gmail 3.4.1.5 installed and I haven't updated to 3.5!! Yay me.

I'm having the same issue (almost). I'm using the stock deodexed verson from the link you posted. After flashing it, the dialer FC's when I try to open the logs tab. I'm totally stock minus bloatware with no mods or themes.
Have you been able to out what might be causing this? Or a work around? I found people with the same issue with eg22 but nothing about a fix.

Google keyboard

I've searched Google and these forums to try and find a solution my problem, the following app;
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.inputmethod.latin
I loved this keyboard however i can't add any custom words now. I even factory reset my phone to see if this would work. It doesn't. I'm on my s4 (i9505) and prefer it to stock keyboard. Any ideas how I can get it to work? Or what I could change. No custom words will be saved. At all! Slightly annoying!
Thanks

Just like tasker, once you start using xposed (and gb) you'll wonder how you ever lived without it

i have been using Xposed for some time and love it especially Greenify and Wanam. i did setup screenshot with GB and that is really nice that it is right there for any screen with the power menu. i was tired of taking pictures of my watch
Tasker i have been watching since its launch on Play but with limited time between work, kids, electronic addiction i just never spent the time to get into it. your BT auto connect is going to push me into understanding it.
thanks

front soft keys are gone!!

so, my front soft keys somehow disappeared, and I cant get them back; in the settings menu, there is no longer an option for them, and I have no clue how they went away...
any suggestions?
I uninstalled xposed framework, and gravity box, in case that was the issue,and have rebooted many times, but still not there..
thanks!
Not sure if you can or if it would help but did you try another launcher? Maybe a reset but not sure if that would even work.

Is your expanded desktop on from xposed?
Try factory reset as your last resort. Did you mess around turning them off with xposed?

-tried a different launcher, and it didnt work
-re-installed xposed, and gravity box, and made sure expanded desktop was OFF, and it didnt work
-rooting had nothing to do with it, as I rooted a week ago, and everything was fine until last night
thanks so much!
This is one of the reasons I've been leaving my Flex stock til we get a recovery. I know with the G2, zips were made to shrink the keys. Not sure if you could even get them back if you had a zip like that. Maybe you can search G2 threads and find a way. Sorry I can't help ya.
yeah, I even did a factory reset just now, and they are still not there; even in the settings menu, the "front screen buttons" entry is gone..
I guess I'll take it back to T-mobile today and tell them I want it replaced..its only 11 days since I got it, so it shouldnt matter..
I cant imagine rooting had anything to do with it, since I rooted a week ago, and its worked perfectly until it just went out last night

Before you do that you should try restoring with wolfgart's thread downloads. If you're going to be changing stuff, its good to know how to fix a brick.

good advice; but frankly, after only 11 days, I dont even want to mess around with that.
plus, I am not sure if there is even a complete restore for Tmobile version yet
Can you pull your build.prop via adb and enable the software keys like that and push it back?

i thought about doing that, actually, but it was alot easier to just return it and get a new one today.
If it happens again, which it better not, I will try that.
I think Gravity Box was the culprit, after reading through the 500+ pages of that thread; it seems to play havoc at times with soft keys, so users beware..
That was one of the reasons why i was debating on getting this phone. Nothing beats a physical button.(that works...)

[Q] Note 3 -- Dynamic Kat 1.4 and GravityBox = no double-tap home button

Hi, I have a Note 3 that I just rooted. I installed bri315317's Dynamic Kat 1.4 and GravityBox. I am trying to configure my double-tap home button, but it's not doing anything. Anyone else running into this issue?
Yep. No idea how to fix it...

Also in wanam under system there is a option to change long press home (choose what you want it to do) I remember seeing the double tap option somewhere I will see if I can find out where it is

The double tap home has worked on every other ROM for this device and all TW ROMs I used on the S4, but this ROM.
Gravity box does work with TW and the like, they just won't support it if it doesn't function correctly.

Working for Me!
Sorry, I'm a bit late to this thread. I have the Galaxy S4 and I can't guarantee it will work for the Note 3, but I was experiencing this same issue and was able to fix it by simply checking the "open via the home key" in S-Voice. Hope this helps someone else experiencing issues. :laugh:
Wow! This waa driving me insane. I had it working perfectly on my Note 2 ans when I set up my Note 4 I had the recent apps list showing when I double tapped the home key. Then I started checking out rhe device and out of nowhere, the double tap stopped working. I can't tell you how much time I've spent on it. I eveb sat there with my Note 2 and compared every single setting and they were identical to one another. The second I read your response I literally face palmed myself. I vividly remember unchecking the box as I waa going through the settings because I wasn't using it anyway and it was around the same time it stopped working. It goes without saying that it was tbe issue. I suppose it needs to be set in order to be manipulated by GB. Sorry for the long post but I'm thrilled to have it working and wanted you to know you helped.

Man i registered on this forum only to say THANK YOU SO MUCH! That's genious, i would never ever remember i turned this feature off in S Voice on my Galaxy Note 3 SM9005 and that it can affect doubletap. BTW the other program PBMC (Physical Button Music Control) can override it but it has ugly delay for every Menu keypress option
