How can I get the keyboard to look like Icecream sandwich? I could hold down the key and get the question mark to come up. or use numbers. It was handy so you didnt have to goto next screen to type one number

For the "?" hold the period key down..
And the numbers are still there if you keep the top keys pressed down...

Question mark is ok just not the numbers. Old keyboard hod dual functions.
Numbers are definitely still there. All along the top row of letters, long press for numbers. Works like a charm.

I don't have a manual to read.
A few times i've looked at my screen and seen a little bar that said recent apps or something like that and showed like 4 apps. Not sure how it got there but there then gone again. Must be a button combo to push or something to get it to pop up. any idea?
Long pressing the home key. On cm/miui it shows recent and I believe it does on sense as well

Here's a flashable zip to change your search button to shut screen off
For those that needs it and the lazy bastards that don't want to do it manually.
Nifty, I never use the search key so this may prove useful.
Perfect. I never use that button as well... Wonder if that button can be mapped to wake up screen as well??
That would be awesome but I think once the screen is off so does the soft keys as its an extension of the screen itself power wise atleast.
Screen on you can edit the soft keys to whatever you want
Screen off you're basically touching the screen when its off I.e nothing happens
It would be a different scenario if its a hard key
Has anyone flashed this yet? I never got around to it while I was on GB and it's not working on ICS. I don't want to declare that it doesn't work at all if it's only some difference with ICS or something with the alpha.

Its not been tested with ics yet as I'm still on cm7 latest nightly 221 but ics probably have a different location of where the keyboard layout are but if you can edit it and use this same script making sure to edit where the files is flash to you have my permission lol.
Thanks for the zip for the search button key. I love being a lazy bastard.

It may, when I get home from work I plan to try to reverse engineer both mods and see if any of it makes sense to me and can modify the search button for screen off. So long as they can be opened in a text editor I should be able to figure something out.

The zip for the search button mod, modify the actual buttons mapped out to specific numbers when its pressed for example for default the search button is 217 followed by 2 functions specified to it in /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl
So when that button is pressed it is the value of 217 referencing what's defined in that file and yes its you can edit it with any editor.
Cool, thanks. I mostly follow what you're saying, but I'm better if I see it or have an exact example.

Just extract the files and go to the qwerty.kl and open it in notepad.

Hello guys, I just want to know is there any way through which I can increase the sensitivity of the power button? My phone is now one year old and I've found that the power button is very annoying. If any new person happens to use my phone, he is to be taught to apply a bit more force to the power button to lock the phone.
Also, long press is difficult! It's very difficult to take screenshots (with CM ROM that has power button screen shot option).
When I long press to take a screenshot, after releasing the button, the phone sleeps and gets locked. It happens several times and to take one screenshot I have to face it almost five times. I think it is because of dust that gets collected below the plastic button, is there any suggestion from you that can make my finger's life easy??? :banghead:
Uhh, and do not suggest opening the phone body and clean it!!!

Same problem. Isn't much you can do with the power button. It's mechanical so to fix the actual button you would have to open up the phone and fiddle in there. (don't try this if you don't know what you're doing)
I, for one, am using this mod. It works on the rom level, not the phone itself so it needs to be flashed every time you install a new rom (even when it's the same one but different version) and it won't work when the phone is completely shut down, you still have to use the power button.
Oh yeah! I knew that mod but forgot!
Well then, for now I use a screen locking widget... but still to unlock power button is required...
Will have to stay with it only.. :banghead:

Oh, and yeah, that same widget allows to lock the phone by long pressing search button.

Can't you just press any other button, like menu or the back key, and slide to unlock?
same problem with volume keys also

Yes I know I can, but sometimes just to see notifications or time, I don't take out the phone from the cover, only its head...
The buttons all light up but don't work at all. I have the phone all disassembled but dont know which connector it is? Can someone please help me so I can see if its connected right.
OR How about mapping the BACK function to the camera button? I can deal with that lol i'm running cyanogen mod 9
Maybe like, have it be half press on camera is home, hard press is back? And hold is menu?

If you have it torn apart the cable connecting those buttons should be obvious
But if you don't want to replace it and are willing to remap then there are apps in the play store that can add soft buttons to homescreens

That sounds good cause right now Sammy keyboard has the number row but no long press symbols, while swiftkey has long press symbols and no number row
This is great news! I think they realized that with the devices getting bigger, it's a must have now.

That's the exact reason why I was torn between the two last year. Samsung came out on top because I tend to use numbers more than symbols (password, date, etc).

Great news. Thanks! I haven't been using SK because of it.
It's been about time for this. I made my note 3 showing the change input method thingy in the notification bar just for that reason. Let's just hope that the update is coming soon.
Every keyboad must have dedicated numeric pad just like sammy keyboard. It feels annoying when you have to press extra buttons to get the numeric pad. Thats the main reason I am using sammy keyboard.
Very good. With screens this big there really is no reason that the option shouldn't be there. Not everyone wants the dedicated number row, but many do. If Swiftkey implement this their userbase will grow, I am sure lots of people refrain from using SK because it lacks the number row.
Oh great, more keys to accidentally hit. :silly: The arrows bar is my best friend and my worst enemy at the same time....
You do realize you can just hit the 123 key and you get numbers?

With that '123 key' you type >press 123 key> type number >press key again to get back to typing. If thats cool with you, more power to ya. The point for many is not having to do all that. It's not the smooth flow of using a keyboard with a dedicated number row.

Definitely. Having it as an option is a no-brainer expecially with the 5+ inch screens popularity growth.

Nice. Now if they could implement the swype to move the cursor, like Samsung keybord, that would be perfect.
Anyway, can't use Samsung keyboard because of the long press to get to exclamation points/etc. It takes to much time. And the swype option is very slow compared to SwiftKey Flow feature.
SwiftKey beta live now with Emoji and numbers row! Yeah!
Downloaded and love it! The only think they need to to take off is the number rows on the Qwerty line
