Hi,
I have read several old threads about this topic, but in non was a satisfing answer. So I decided to pose the Question more direct.
Under Cyanogen 4.2.2 it makes no difference what so ever what I select as system language the Keyboard is always qwerty and the wordsuggestions "english".
So is there a way to change it, that I don't get, without loading and Market Keyboard.

Well, I had the same problem. I just installed TouchPal which is a free, great default keyboard replacement.

Hiya
Firstly, apologies if this has been answered elsewhere - I searched and used the related threads that the thread starter suggestion thingy returned but nothing *totally* relevant to what I'm looking for.
I'm running the Froyo 2.2 with Sense Android rom on my HD2. Absolutely stunning albeit sliiiiiightly buggy and the battery dies within 24hours of moderate use. It addresses all my gripes with Winmo. My main issue was the keyboard. With the directional buttons on screen, the rest of the buttons have been squashed and with my ogre fingers it was a nightmare to type.
The k/b on the Android rom is fantastic. Now I thought that this was the stock keyboard on all Android phones running Froyo 2.2. Then I saw a video of the Desire HD which is what I want to get and sell my HD2 for. But I saw a video of the keyboard and it also has the directional keys on screen.
Is there a reg entry to hide the directional keys or do I have to find an alternate keyboard?
Thanks all.
RE: Android Keyboards on HTC devices
the best way is to find an alternate keyboard like "better keyboard"
I recommend Smart Keyboard Pro. There is a trial version for free in the market. It just features a small nag screen
hey guys,
i'm new to the TPT and i do like it a lot so far. root went well and bloatware is down. since there are so many apps that are device specific, i was curious if there are any different soft keyboard apps that you could recommend. on the SGS2 i am using swype, so when i switch devices, i'm somehow missing that a little.
possible to install other keys and if so, anything to recommend? maybe even something for the stylus? (i figure that either my handwriting sucks, or the detection for regular writing just sucks)
sorry for beginners questions, but i couldn't find anything about it yet ..
I tried several and settled on SwiftKey Tablet X. Works best for me.
I use Thumb Keyboard. It has a split design and has numbers and arrows. It works good with this wide fellow.
I use it on my phone, but was disappointed that it didn't translate well to tablet, for me.
I use Swype and like it a lot
I use FlexT9, it does swype as well as dictation and some other nifty stuff.
Swift Key tablet version is my favorite, not to much of a fan of Swype but thats just my personal preference. its either stock android or swift key
If you like the full keyboard like I do, i recommend the Hacker's Keyboard. Not exactly sure why its called that but it uses a full QWERTY keyboard with arrow keys. Another is the Logitech Keyboard (still in beta but I havent had any issues) that has a full QWERTY that also you can swipe across the keyboard to show another keyboard that doubles as a technical keyboard or calculator.
If you like lots of buttons, is more open to customizing (button row/column height/width adjustments), either one would work great.

I prefer Thumb Keyboard too. I like that you can choose different themes for it. And for the most part, the themes they offer match a lot of flashable themes/roms for different devices.

+1 for Hacker's Keyboard. I usually use my tablet in the folio case so I have a nice hardware keyboard. However there have been plenty of times where I have had it out of the folio and been editing a document or posting on a forum and the hackers keyboard has come in extremely handy. It would be something I was willing to spend money on, but since it is free, it's an even better deal.

Hackers Keyboard ist the best, it is for free you can use 5 row style (numbers and letters) and you can download different languages for auto correctur.
In portrait mode I usually use Swype, which is great even at 10inch!
In landscape mode and for things like SSH/Terminal, I use Hacker's Keyboard, which feels almost like the real thing
Dueces beat me to it. HACKERS KEYBOARD for the closest simulation of a desktop keyboard (I've) found so far. Not only are the keys big and bold, perhaps more importantly they are scalable (as is the entire keyboard).

SwiftKey Tablet X for me as I use SwiftKey 3 on my SGS3 and I just can't go back to anything else anymore...I might have to give this hacker's keyboard a crack though, thanks for the suggestion.
For those who like Swype, I strongly recommend the TouchPal keyboard. Its implementation of the swype input method is terrific.

I was just looking for a way to get the stock swype like keyboard back after installing cm 10.
Touchpal is even better!

I use original JB 4.1.2 keyboard, it's good but when I want to use thumb the Thumb Keyboard is invaluable
Great keyboard is original ICS from Sony smartphone's but it does not work on no Sony hardware, unfortunely...
Hi all,
Running Cyanogenmod 9 nightlies (Currently March 25 version) and all is working well.
One thing though is I really prefer the onscreen keyboard on my Galaxy Nexus over the one on the transformer. Specifically, I like how the top row of buttons on the Samsung has long-press for numbers.
I can't seem to find any other keyboards marked as being ICS compatible after searching here.
Does anyone know if there is the Samsung keyboard available for install on the TF101, or another one, or something I can do to tweak mine to get the desired functionality?
Have you tried Swype keyboard?
It's friggin amazing. I like it with auto-correction turned off though.
It has numbers in the top row that can be long-pressed.
hackers keyboard ftw.
Im using chacha as its prbly the only android with keyboard like a bb! Anyway- Ive rooted, deleted apps and made it workable at least for now- However one thing Ive been unable to do is generate typing sounds on the physical keyboard. All the androids have an option of sound for their onscreen keyboards so is there any way to do this for the Chacha keyboard? The physical one- not by adding a virtual one.
Thanks.
