change keyboard tapping sound level - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Q: Is it possible to change keyboard tapping sounds level?
Is it possible to do that with the stock keyboard?
I haven't found an option for that. There's just an on/off option.
Yet I could do that, in the past, with my Atrix smartphone, with Perfect Keyboard (PK) set as a default keyboard. I was used to keep the tapping sounds very low. A discreet but useful option.
Now, with the GNote 10.1, the stock keyboard is essential to give me the option to switch from keyboard input to handwriting input and vice-versa (PK doesn't give you that option if I'm not mistaken...).
So is there any workaround for that?

Yes I knew that. But it changes all system sound levels and not just the keyboard tapping sound level.
Anyway I'm trying that.
What other sound levels does it change?

Samsung boot sound is the only other thing I can think of off the top of my head. App, phone and notification all have a separate slider.

Where is the menu button?

Not much of an officianado when it comes to Android.Never owned a phone or tablet with virtual buttons rather than physical ones.
Have installed Apex launcher on my 10.1
Where do I find the settings?
On my SGS3 I obviously just tap the menu button, which the 10.1 doesnt have
I really need an instruction book for this thing. :laugh:

There's always the settings app in your app drawer.
Settings can be found in notifications as well. Menu button will be there when you need it... certain apps trigger it

it's somewhat per app... if the text block has the mic icon you don't need one on the keyboard so it doesn't show on the keyboard in some apps, especially if the app has a search function. and you can always use the hot words if you have it set to a compatible language...

well for example, it wont show up in hangouts, which is the only time i used this function (to text)
Yeah, this is important, I use it quite a bit to text. Swiftkey has it as a long press but I like the standard keyboard better so I'd prefer to use that.
You also need to enable voice typing, in addition to the mic.

Things that make me go "derp", thank you!
Also, I'm not sure if this is a requirement, but I did not see changes in my keyboard after changing those settings until after I performed a reboot. YMMV.

Icon order

Is it just me or can I not customize the order I want my apps in on the smartwatch 2? I press the menu button and the only options are alphabetical and frequency used. Is anyone else having this issue or am I just missing something?
Thanks!

It's not a bug. It's a feature

Only thing you can do is use Frequency, and keep tap the app you want to order and the home button. You can also tap it when watch not connected to phone.
Yeah, this seems one of the strangest missing features IMO. I don't see why you can't simply re-order them in the Smart Connect app, either - would that be so hard? Either way, the favorites thing is not so bad until the watch goes and forgets the order you had them in, which can be mighty annoying. It's happened to me only once so far but, like aseeme555076 says you can sort of force it to order them how you want.
sw2 extension: "This is the official Sony application for SmartWatch 2 SW2. It enables you to utilize all the powerful Android benefits of this innovative smartphone accessory*. With this app, you can decide how your smartphone interacts with SmartWatch 2, what app extensions are available for your watch and how they are arranged. "
I tried several times to arrange them, "click and drag" but it was impossible, they didn't move :laugh:
Anyway, I miss this feature.It would be great to put them in a certain order. I wonder why Sony didn't make it possible to arrange them from the phone in sw2 extension app.

Reducing the size of Google Keyboard - how can I do that?

I am using Google Keyboard, but it doesn't have an option to reduce its size. What I'm trying to do is use Xposed + App Settings, find the keyboard's process, and reduce its DPI. The problem with this is that it only affects the settings menu, and not the actual keyboard. I assume there's a separate process for the keyboard itself and another one for the settings.
Can you think of any way to do this? Swiping long words on a large keyboard is not very comfortable. Any ideas?

I've tested all major keyboards and I'm not interested in any other one. Google Keyboard is almost perfect; I just need to make it smaller.

Hello fellow Androider,
I have tried doing this using Xposed framework and every other way I could google but it seems the scripts in the application framework do not allow us to change the DPI for the Google Keyboard.
I just gave up and at the moment I'm using a sweet alternative called Minuum Keyboard, I hope you'll thank me after you try it!!!
Peace,
Syed
