The LG G3 smart keyboard is one of the best keyboards currently available on any Android device. The keyboard is actually quite similar, in terms of functionality, to the Swype keyboard that is available on the Google Play Store, and is the smartest keyboard out there among all Android OEM keyboards as it learns from your typing over time, and dynamically makes corrections to your input based on what it has learned.
Like the Swype keyboard, it also lets you use gestures to complete a word, and allows quick corrections to be made with a simple gesture. The keyboard height and layout adjustment feature allows you to set the keyboard’s height and layout to suit your comfort, and the various available themes allow you to customize its appearance to your liking. As you spend more time typing on it, the keyboard offers next word suggestions to help you easily complete your sentences, and it does that in multiple languages, not just English. Another unique feature is the Emoji suggestion. There are many keyboards out there that suggest words to complete a sentence, but the LG Smart keyboard also suggests Emoji Emoticons to match your words.
So the LG G3 smart keyboard is definitely as clever as the company claims, but isn’t available on the Google Play Store for everyone to install on their smartphones. Other LG devices don’t get it either. However, if you would like to enjoy the keyboard on your Galaxy Note 3, you can still install it using the method we’re going to discuss below.
Pre-Requisites
Before we continue with the installation process, you need to make sure your device is rooted and you’re using a custom recovery. As with many other mods out there, root is an absolute must, so if you aren’t rooted you will need to first root your Galaxy Note 3 and then flash a custom recovery like TWRP, CWM or Cyanogen Recovery.
Download the LG G3 Smart Keyboard File
Once you’ve rooted, you can move on to the next step which involves downloading the Smart Keyboard zip file that has been ported by XDA-recognized developer gerardroid. The latest verson available is 4.20.42 and it also includes various themes for LG G3 users. It works with most Android KitKat ROMs as well, so you won’t have to worry about compatibility issues, even if you’re running an Android 4.4.4 KitKat based ROM or stock Samsung Android 4.4.4 firmware. After downloading the file to your PC, transfer it to your Galaxy Note 3’s internal memory.
Flash it Via Recovery
Now you will have to flash the LG smart keyboard zip file that you transferred to your Galaxy Note 3’s internal memory in the previous step. Boot into recovery, choose the zip file, and flash it. Once the flashing is complete, reboot your device.
Setting It Up
Now that you’ve finished installing the LG smart keyboard on your Galaxy Note 3, the next step is to set the smart keyboard as your default keyboard for all text input. To do this go into Settings – Controls – Language & Input – and select LG keyboard as your default input method.
Now the LG Smart keyboard will be your default keyboard whenever you open any app that requires text input. Almost all the features and functionalities of the keyboard will be available on your Galaxy Note 3, exactly as they are on the LG G3. As we mentioned in the beginning of the post, the LG smart keyboard comes with a number of features and settings that you can use to customize it to your liking. To access all the settings that are available, you need to tap on the gear icon that appears on the bottom left of the keyboard. The LG keyboard settings page will now open, from which you can change all the settings you wish to tinker with, including themes, keyboard layout, height of the keyboard, customize the bottom row keys, use the keyboard in split mode, turn the word suggestion and auto correction on or off, and change the input language.
