[KitkatP600][UPDATED] 2 Keyboards, RecentAppsScreen, MenuButtonMod - Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps

Hello everyone !
For those of you who are on KitKat and want the Note Pro Keyboard app... here it is!
Root needed:
Download the apk and place it on your tablet
I have used ES File Explorer with root option
You have to mount /system as RW
1) Make a backup of your current Samsung Keyboard with TitaniumBackup
OR rename it under /system/app from SamsungIME.apk to SamsungIME.apk.bak
2) Rename SamsungIME.odex to SamsungIME.odex.bak
3) Delete SamsungIME.apk under /system/app
4) Copy the new SamsungIME.apk to /system/app
5) Change the permission of SamsungIME.apk to rw-r--r-- or 644
6) Reboot
DOWNLOAD at the end of the OP
If you have problems or ForceClose then it is a good idea to install the GoogleKeyboard and try again

I have attached a ScreenShot to show you how it looks on my SM-P600
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",

Maybe some of you want to use the menue button to work as a RecentApps Button?
1) Use an Root Explorer to navigate to /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
2)Edit line 139 and change "MENU" to "APP_SWITCH"
3)Save the file and then reboot. now you have a recent apps softkey

Not needed anymore (Samsung included it in the 4.4.2 US Update, only for those of us who use the Columbian Firmware:
Do you want an alternative RecentApps Screen? Try this:
Root needed:
If someone wants to change the Recent Apps screen (because I think the new one looks not nice) you can change it by changing the following lines in build.prop to "ro.product.name=viennaltexx" and "ro.product.device=viennalte"
"ro.product.model=SM-P905". I have used a build prop editor from the playstore. It needs a reboot.
It will look like this
Also you will be able to download hancom office from the Samsung App Store.

Most likely it will not work, i guess you would need some files from the updated framework but I am not sure

You beat me to it! I just downloaded the system dump from the note pro to extract the keyboard.
I also got the recent apps screen working as well and it's awesome. I disabled the capacitive buttons though so I can use the tablet in portrait mode without accidentally pressing one of the capacitive buttons, what I do is use GMD Gesture control as it makes it easier. I disabled all the built in gestures and enabled 3 user gestures. A swipe down with 3 fingers registers as a back button press, swipe up with 4 fingers brings up the recent apps menu and a 4 finger pinch registers as a home button press. I used xposed to enable the 3dot menu in all apps so I don't need a menu button, but as a backup I have LMT installed to get pie with back home recent and menu.
Just sharing my experiences
Thanks for this guide and taking the time to extract the keyboard!

How do you access menu button if you replace it with recent app? Will all the app show menu button like on htc? Or can i access menu on holding the recent button? Thanks

Yeah thats the problem, you can use xposed framework to force an in app menue button.
Will try to find a way to use it without any other app

Is there any known drawbacks to changing to build prop? Which device are we spoofing here? the note 12.1 or the pro 10? I was thinking some apps which use special spen features might not detect the device has the spen if we spoof pro 10.
Also, why the hell does the recent apps look like that in the first place? is there a way to turn change the color of that hideous (and off center) blue square to transparent? cause then it would just look like the stock app switcher.

---

It's just the 3g lte version of our tablet. There's no drawbacks.

Actually it is the Galaxy NOTE PRO 12.2 LTE Version
I have not found any drawbacks.
I do not think that it is possible to change the color of the recentApps. But for me the build.prop tweak works fine.

What Xposed App, Do you use to add the menu Button?

I love separated keyboard. Separated Keypad of note pro is too small with 10.1 screen. But full size keypad looks really good.
