I like the stock Samsung keyboard but after the NJ4 update the ability to save custom words is gone and the whole keyboard is crappy now. I was wondering if anybody has the NI1 stock keyboard apk? or where to get it?
Thanks in advance

Hello. This may help you. I got back to the NI1 keyboard by simply installing that rom into slot-1 and then used Titanium Backup to save the keyboard out into my SDcard ... then rebooted ... switched back to my Base rom ... and "restored" the keyboard into it. It worked flawlessly and it's a no brainer, very easy to do with a play store app, and takes 2 minutes with no fiddling around. I hope this helps. Cheers!

Hi all,
My first post, I just started following this site a couple of weeks ago and I hope to become a fairly active member in the community.
That being said... I've recently purchased the Samsung Vibrant in Canada, for the most part the model is the same but doesn't have a dedicated search button (you hold the menu button for 3/4 of a second and it brings up the search prompt) but anyways...
I'm looking at rooting my phone and installing a custom rom and I'm wondering if there is a way to transfer or backup some of the apps that come with the samsung rom? Mainly - Swype, there is no going back to normal touchkeyboards after you've swyped for a couple of days..
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Without rooting there is no way to back up the stock apps from what I know.
So if I root, I would be able to backup the stock apps?
...and then install a custom rom and re-install the backed-up-stock-apps?

Hi all...sorry if this is very noob but hope someone can help me out...
i got my galaxy s4 for att and its been great so far...i did root it and got rid of all the junk stuff on the phone which was nice to do... but a little issue now..there is an OTA update and its trying to apply it by rebooting but it goes to my console screen i guess and i know even if it applies it it would get rid of root.... is there a way to apply this without having to reinstall all my emails (5 emails) and my apps and keep the root ability on it? I would love to get the feature to send apps to my SD thats the only reason i really want it.
again im sorry if this is very noobish to some of u but would like a nice guide if possible how to do it.
Thanks in advance
What device? Thats important, and DO NOT let it do the update. if you are rooted, you could freeze the samsung updater.
I would get off stock and flash a custom rom.

hehe I know you stated galaxy s4, but I needed to make sure, US version right?
Use my rom, mine is totally stock, with a few modifications, and FAST!
or you can go any TW rom.
here is mine..
[ROM] ViSiON-X v1.0|AROMA|4.2.2|MGA|TW|[08-03]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391142
then you will not have to worry about an update, until someone finds a patch for the update...

I use Infamous S4 as well, I love it. It's pretty stock feeling.
When it comes to the backing up part, I suggest Titanium Backup. Get the pro version and you can batch install all of your apps from a backup, otherwise you have to do it one by one. It also saves all app data and system data and accounts, so you can do a full wipe when installing an update or a new ROM (always a good idea,) then just let it completely restore the phone from a backup. You can use it to back-up everything, except for the home-screen layout (android limitation apparently.) Plus you can backup right to the phone if you have space so you don't have to wory about using the computer. I recomment getting a microSD card for 10 bucks at Staples and backing up to that. When you're restoring, make sure that you check what you're restoring. Most of the stuff in red are system apps that don't need to be restored (as newer or the same versions may already be installed from the update.)
For restoring root priviledges, CWM and TWRP custom rrecoveries have a tool for this.
Hello everyone!
I've been tired of the google edition version of Android 4.3 and I would like to go back to TouchWiz and just use another launcher.
How exactly am I going to do that?
Right now im using this one -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348272
Having problems with shutdowns etc etc and would like to just have everything regular.
I have TELIA as operator if you wonder.
Thanks in advance/Joakim
Get stock rom from AndroidFirmwares.net or Samsung-Updates.com (or wait until Samfirmware have their stuff back up for download), flash it with Odin (How ? Search).

U can try this method: HERE
Hey. So I just recently got bored with the stock s4 ROM and decided to go back into the rooting business. I flashed TWRP recovery and LiquidSmooth ROM. Everything is great but I realized I lost the Samsung keyboard. Now, I know it's not the greatest keyboard out there, but it did allow me to view and send the little built in emojis. I am using SwiftKey beta keyboard that supports emojis but they are the Android looking emojis, not the real ones. I've looked high and low for an original apk or zip I can flash that will install the stock keyboard but can't find anything. Can someone help me out? . Thanks!
Can't run stock touchwiz keyboard on AOSP.

I just updated my S4 to stock rooted Lollipop 5.0.1 from 4.4.2 and the problem is that there is no Mobile Data Toggle at all. Before when i bought it off eBay - it had it. I know this seems to be a at&t official rom thing but is there any workaround to bring it back up? I searched around but found no fix. I even tried that QuickPanel Restore thing but as it is designed for the S6, as expectd it didn't work.
I can think of 3 ways:
1. Try using this method. I used it on Kitkat and it worked great. I haven't tried it on stock Lollipop ROMs, but it might work.
Edit: After reading some posts, it seems to work just fine for many S4 users on stock rooted Lollipop rom
2. Use an app like Notification Toggle.
3. Use a custom, international base ROM. GoldenEye includes the toggles and works just like AT&T rom only faster and without AT&T bloatware included.

Yo man thanks, ill give it a shot using the first method. Funny thing is, i switched from lollipop to kitkat because of ram and now that you said it worked on kitkat for you - i got so happy lol
Edit: Yep. The first solution did! THANK YOU ALOT MAN. A simple thanks does not express my thank you towards you.
For everyone else that sees this post - The apk i dowloaded from that google repo thing kept crashing. If this happens to you -> Download SQLite Editor from here http://www.apkhere.com/app/com.speedsoftware.sqleditor
No problem! It's crazy that some carriers go through the trouble to remove a feature that was originally there
