[Q] TouchWiz folder question - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

I am coming from the S3 and when I created homepage folders to group my apps, when I would open the folder and select an app, the folder would close automatically.
I am noticing on the AT&T Note 2 (JB 4.1.1 stock rom) that the folders do not automatically close. When i launch an app, then hit the back or close the app and return to the TouchWiz launcher, the folder is still open. I really want the folders to automatically close .. am I missing something?

For whatever reason they dont. Do known why just noticed they did that.. I came from the s3 I know what you're talking about

yea this is annoying i dont know how to change it though.

...there could be worse things. But sammy unleashing a little more customization for the TW launcher would be welcomed

You're right .. it's not the end of the world .. just a minor annoyance and I was wondering if I was the only one with it or if I just didn't remember how I configured it on my S3. I am actually wondering if it might have something to do with 4.1.1 version of JB. I know that the default keyboard selection won't stick after a reboot and that is a 4.1.1 issue that was fixed in 4.1.2 (according to SwiftKey support and a Google announcement)

[Q] Spell Correction Issues

The issue i'm facing is the horrible spell correction on my S3. I came from my old S1 directly to the S3. On my old S1 I could type a word out and if it was anywhere near close, the phone would correct it. On my S3 it obviously knows I'm spelling it wrong because it gives me the option to correct it to the right word, but doesn't do it automatically. I am under the impression that it has to be a setting somewhere because even when I downloaded swift I had the same issues. In settings, under the stock keyboard I have all the right boxes clicked as far as what I suspect it should be, but I was wondering if anyone else had this issue.

Just downloaded it and it seems to be working 1000x better then the stock! Thanks!!
No problem glad I could help out

I am also curious about this. I never had this issue until I flashed the stock touchwiz rooted roms. Now my mistyped words are never corrected automatically no matter what options I select. The rom obviously changed something in the keyboard....anyone know a fix for this? Things like "vibrate on keypress" or the "hand writing" functions just plain don't work/show up. Thanks for any help.

One finger zoom feature? ...Grrrrr...

I brought this up as a response in the bugs/fixes thread in General, but thought it deserved its own thread here. I'd like to know if this is a TW "feature" or something else that Sammy or T-Mo has baked into the ROM...
On a zoomable page, such as in a browser or in an email, if you swipe up/down along the left or right edge of the screen it zooms in/out as if using a pinch gesture. It gets really (really really really) annoying to have to be so careful of WHERE my finger is on the screen when I want to scroll and to not end up zooming. Are others being driven crazy by this?
I already spent time with Samsung Support to see if there was a way to toggle the "feature" and they told me I was SOL . I put in a feature request with them to add a toggle FWIW.
(this is on a stock, unrooted T-Mo GN2)
This may or may not be helpful, but regarding Google Maps.. Which you may or may not be using while driving: they recently added a double tap hold, slide up and down to zoom. I'd love that feature to be implemented into browser and others with pinch to zoom, but that's gonna be up to the developers.

I had this issue too. I flashed a different ROM (the hacked ROM by cnmard (forget his username) ) in the development section and it doesn't seem to have this "feature." You can flash the ROM or ask in the thread how to turn it off. But it seems you'll need root regardless....
I was wondering why ive never had this accidental zoom...then I realized I have been using a 3rd party browser all along.. doesnt have this feature

I found the feature to be active on both stock and Dolphin browsers. Haven't tried any other ones yet. Which 3rd party browser are you using?

I've been trying to keep the GN2 unrooted (company mobile device policy), but this issue may force me to temporarily root to apply a fix if any dev can provide one that doesn't require a full ROM flash.

[Q]ParanoidKangdroid camera help

Hello, i just flashed paranoidkangdroid on my AT&T samsung galaxy s3 and I noticed something. I saw that the gapps had installed the crappy jellybean camera, and not the new one with the photosphere, and gestures etc.
I want to flash the 4.2 camera .apk, but I don't want the 4.1 camera and gallery sitting there being a nuinsance.
I went to go uninstall it using titanium backup/root explorer, but I can't seem to find the 4.1 camera or gallery .apk
Where exactly are they and what are they called?
The easiest would be reflashing the ROM and then flashing 4.2 Gapps, but then you get all 4.2 apps. Otherwise you could download a root file explorer from the market (nandroid first) and then delete all gallery in /system/apps. Then flash your 4.2 camera.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
If I reflash, will I lose the group sms capability that paranoidkangdroid has?
I installed the 4.2 camera and went into Settings> Apps selected the 4.1 camera and clicked "disable" removed the 4.1 camera and gallery and left 4.2
I'm running PAC-Man but it should be the same on yours.

Totally forgot that disabling apps also hides their icon. Thanks for that. Might be useful in the future and doesn't make nandroiding as necessary

[Q] 4.1.2 Keyboard versus Swiftkey question.

Now that we have received our new JB 4.1.2 update from T-Mobile (yeah! :victory, I have a question.
Samsung licensed Swiftkey technology for their keyboard. It does look much better and respond better than before. I also own Swiftkey. That said, I'm waffling between sticking with the stock keyboard and saving some memory versus running Swiftkey and having some additional options for customization.
What do you do?
Do whatever one you prefer, don't know why you want the answer given to you, just preference. Don't stop using apps just because memory more this phone has its memory
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I stopped using SwiftKey because:
1) it was not remembering the words I told it to remember.
2) swipe prediction was terrible.
Using Swype now.
I prefer the note 2 keyboard myself because it has the numbers on top and I don't have to keep it that stupid little button on the side to make my numbers pop up.

Or just use the free note 2 keyboard from a flashable zip.

Only SwiftKey can insert space bar by swiping over the space bar without letting go of your finger. I find that really hard to beat. I'll stick to SwiftKey until I find something that could do better.
Been looking
Hi guys first post ever here in XDA. Been lurking for a while.
I have the Frosty JB 4.1.1 v11.2.1. I removed alot of apps through Titanium and when I do a factory reset, I don't have any keyboards. I am looking for the stock or note2 or the new 4.1.2 keyboard to install. I have swype but want to get stock so I can put it in the proper folder for factory resets so I wont be without a keyboard upon reboot. I have searched and all I keep finding is themed KB and cant get them to work. I hate the dev stopped producing the frosty rom, I love it on my phone. Cant find the v11.2.1 or I would just start fresh there.
Thanks in advance.

You can either "convert to System app" using TiBu Pro or move the .apk to the /system/app folder and reboot. Root is required for either.
And just fyi, there shouldn't be a link to the note2 kb in the themes and apps sticky.

Because your SwiftKey is from the black market if you have one from the play store and latest upgrade it will stick after reboot like my.

:highfive:
Thank you all. I found tp2215 library and picked up the note2 and installed via zip in cwm.
Then bought the TIBU, per DJ_SpaRky recommendation. I then made a sys app out of the note2.
I just did a factory restore and whamo, Im up and going.
Thank you all very much.
Glad to hear that you were able to get it done.

Preferences
Its all based on your preferences. I have used both and didn't think anything could be better than swiftkey till I saw the new Samsung keyboard on the s4 Note2 roms. I go back and forth now looking for a new king. I like the option of having the permanent numbers row on the ported note2 but I am also trying the new Kii keyboard on the play store. Install them all and swap back and ofrth in settings untill you decide which works best for you. I currently have 4 or 5 installed.

Phone on LMT launcher

Does anybody know why the phone app on my LMT launcher does not work? I'm running wicked v5.1, stock deviant kernel. Is there a workaround? Thanks in advance... :beer::beer::beer:
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium
Were you asking how to get the lmt pie control to work included in wicked rom? You have to enter the settings and start lmt and then pick where you want it to open from. I hope I helped and if I read it wrong let me know of maybe I can try helping again.
No I'm sorry what I meant was I know how to use it, it's just when I add "phone" as one of the quick apps, it doesn't bring up the dialer?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium
Hmm I see I just tried it and it didn't work for me either. I'm thinking of just installing the app itself (not using the wicked one) and see what happens.

Hello everyone! I am using LMT 2.0 and also have the same problem (the phone app does not work from the pie), but I think I have found a solution.
Under the list of normal commands about the pie, select "app" then select "CONTACTS" from the list of applications. This must be some kind of bug, because instead of opening the list of contacts, it opens up the phone dialer app, instantly.
(hopefully this works on other phones) (I am using a custom rom on jelly bean)
