I was wondering if there was any application out there that I could use to have separate keyboards for landscape and portrait? I would lioe to be able to use swype for portrait and have it switch to better keyboard when I'm using landscape? Or maybe someone could create it if there wasn't already something like that on the market (dot dot dot hint)?

Not seen anything that auto switches.. But it's quite quick to long press on the text input box and change the input method.. I suppose!!!

Nahh... that takes too long for me, that's why an automatic one would be best

Any way to disable adding the http to the url/search box in the browser? It's pretty annoying having to delete it each time I want to do a Google search. The Nexus One doesn't automatically add it and I like that a lot better. Thanks.

Hit the physical search button at the bottom takes you to a search only box. That is how I got around it at the store hope that helps

I want a keyboard where i can longpress the qwerty keys to type numbers instead of switching to number mode.
I saw both motorola milestone 2 and nexus S has such a keyboard. it seems it is part of the standard gingerbread keyboard.
Is it possible to enable this in the Arc or do I have to install 3rd party application?
Are there any recommended 3rd party apps for this?
There is a keyboard where you cn long press the letters to get numbers. Its a gingerbread keyboard. Its been posted on the xperia arc forums on xda. It dhould be fairly easy to find. Hope you do find it

Hello, I tried the PRO 12.2 in a store. Under the landscape mode, the virtual keyboard takes half the screen. I tried the split keyboard under both landscape and portrait modes and found the keys to small. Is it possible to change the size of the keys?
Also, under portrait mode, sometimes the delete or erase key does not work. What is the problem?
Thanks.
You can download another keyboard on the play store, but I think you can't change that on the Sammy keyboard.

Thanks. Know any good keyboards that allow the user to change the size of the keys?

SwiftKey
The keys are as large as they are for a reason. Touch typing in landscape mode takes some practice but works really well on the stock keyboard and the inclusion of the symbols on the keyboard is fantastic. I highly recommend giving it some time before switching.

Yes you can change it. I dont know how much you will like the results though. try downloading exposed and using the app settings module you can download from there. You can slightly lower the dpi for the keyboard until it hits your sweet spot. It will change the ENTIRE keyboard size though.you can probably go down 20-40 dpi without much negative impact though. Try hackers keyboard and smart keyboard pro as well. Both of those are highly customizable. Smart keyboard lets you do alot with the size.

By the way, just to let you know, I tried the Swiftkey keyboard and it started freezing up my note. I had to uninstalled. I also think the keyboard is to big, I'll try out the suggestions before my comment.

Yup, I tried swiftkey and swipe but ended back at the stock keyboard. Both were buggy for me. I'm starting to wish for the ability to have control over the dictionary for stock.
I am using Google Keyboard, but it doesn't have an option to reduce its size. What I'm trying to do is use Xposed + App Settings, find the keyboard's process, and reduce its DPI. The problem with this is that it only affects the settings menu, and not the actual keyboard. I assume there's a separate process for the keyboard itself and another one for the settings.
Can you think of any way to do this? Swiping long words on a large keyboard is not very comfortable. Any ideas?

If you want a customizable keyboard try swifkey

I've tested all major keyboards and I'm not interested in any other one. Google Keyboard is almost perfect; I just need to make it smaller.

Ohk sir.. then I'll leave this upto great developers and their scripts

Bumping this thread as I too would love to know how to do this.
API does not allow DPI change

Hello fellow Androider,
I have tried doing this using Xposed framework and every other way I could google but it seems the scripts in the application framework do not allow us to change the DPI for the Google Keyboard.
I just gave up and at the moment I'm using a sweet alternative called Minuum Keyboard, I hope you'll thank me after you try it!!!
Peace,
Syed
