Multiple things I miss from old versions

[killerkamatis]

Hi. I just had my SGN2 for a week and I'm loving it.. I won't go back to those puny phones again..

I posted a question as JellyBean general questions but I saw this thread so I think I should post it here as well since none have answered on my previous thread. (sorry mods, please delete http://androidforums.com/android-lounge/646329-jellybean-in-general-sgnote2.html if you see fit)

1. How can I change the keyboard on the fly? old version have "Input Method" I don't what to go back to settings everytime.
2. in any text edit.. how can i have the Full Screen edit back? typing in landscape sometimes can be a pain if the page is not displaying correctly.
3. Is there a way to change screen density without rooting?

When you are entering text (like if you open a text message and click on the text field), youw ill see an icon that looks like a keyboard in the top bar, drag down your top bar and you will have the option to switch your keyboard on the fly.

2. in any text edit.. how can i have the Full Screen edit back? typing in landscape sometimes can be a pain if the page is not displaying correctly.

Can you show a screen shot? I'm not sure what you mean

3. Is there a way to change screen density without rooting?

No, changing the screen density requires editing the build.prop file which is a protected system file without root.

Thank you. I found the icon whew!
About the fullscreen editor.. hmm the screenshot would just have a big textbox and the keyboard..
Hmm. In 3rd party keyboard apps (here is an option to suppress fullscreen editor but it seems like its suppressed by default in JB.

Just out of interest, which KB is that?

Cheers.
