Anyone working on a way to theme the Asus on screen keyboard? Would really like to since im using Tron theme with Adw and would love to have that type of glowing keys. Thanks in advance!!
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
u can try a different keyboard. swiftkey has a nice tron esque looking keyboard, also thumb keyboard has many diifferent themes for it.
Honestly, after buying thumb keyboard, I'm not sure I could live without it. Typing is so much faster..
It comes with themes though not sure if there's a tron one out there
Cool didn't know if they would work on the transformer will check it out. The only thing is I like the swype portion to type on the keyboard I have gotten spoiled with this ability. thanks

Thanx people i was looking for a keyboard replacement and just happened to come across this thread
I tried installing swype, but it wouldn't load the keyboard. Hope someone figures out how to make it work on the transformer

i got a modded version to work on the xoom, but the res was really bad and it was just too much finger dragging to be usable.

I know there were some grumblings about Swype on the XOOM around release time and the team at Swype haven't returned any emails so I come to my community.
Is there any word on the XOOM getting Swype? Soon? Ever?
Anyone have a way of hacking it on? I've tried but keep getting the error "Screen resolution not supported".
Have you tried installing the beta?

Last i checked the beta didn't work on the xoom, that was the day i got my xoom too, so not sure if a new beta has been released since, but i also heard that swype had no intentions of making a swype version for the large tablets (keeping to the 7" of the galaxy tab) but those could have been hear say, just lending my 2 cents! I'd love to see a mini-swype that takes ups just one side of the screen and you use one thumb, that'd be sweet...
Still not working on the Xoom, but last I read on their forum they still intended to make it work for us.
Just go to themes and apps in this sub forum and you'll find thumb beta. It works pretty flawlessly for a beta

I just tried loading it few minutes ago. No dice. But I downloaded Thumb Keyboard last night and it is a massive improvement overall the stock keyboard. I love that it splits for thumb use in landscape mode and that a long press allows numbers and symbols on the main board without needing to jump back and forth boards like on the stock.
I figure if they can't get to market, there's always the competition.
I use SlideIt. I like swype better, but it's not a bad option. It's not free though, but pretty cheap.
Thanks for all the good info! Looking into it now.....

I have both swiftkey and thumb keyboard. They're basically the same concept but I find it easier to type on the thumb keyboard thanks to its responsiveness and functionalities. Nevertheless, swiftkey interface is tron like which is wohoo nice. Though it still has more bugs to ve worked out than as of thumb keyboard

Phone keyboards won't fit very well on a bigger screen. I be tried smart keyboard too. The keys are squished down to the bottom of the screen and are longer.
I doubt that flext9 will work. But still 4.99 is still a bit too much for testing lol
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
Actually I'm using the flext9 keyboard on my Xoom to type this...
It does work Swype style, but not sure if typing is faster or swiping.
I guess it depends if you are using two hands or one to type. In portrait it seems better to swipe but not necessarily in landscape, if you have the tablet on the desk.
After 15 minutes of use I decided to keep it and still using it as my default keyboard so it can't be bad
I like the word prediction bar and the long press for punctuation... haven't tried the voice or handwriting recognition though.
Hello all,
Is their a better keyboard for this phone? I really dont like the ones it comes with. Also what about the spell checker? Is that part of the keyboard program?
What ones are you using?
Thanks
join the swype beta.

Once you go Swype, you never go back.
If you don't like Swype style, try the Gingerbread keyboard on the Market.
Smart keyboard

I've always liked the Gingerbread kb! But, Smart is also cool...
I only use swype when I only have 1 hand available, but I mainly use gingerbread keyboard pro from market cause I can make the spacebar super big on it (I normally miss it when it's small lol)

Is there a keyboard where you could turn the phone sideway and it shows you the keyboard as well as the screen? I don't like how it only shows you the keyboard.

Better Keyboard 8. I previously used it with the I/O skin & it could splitscreen.
Smart Keyboard FTW.

I tried all the rest, used Swype for a year, then switched to SwiftKey. Best keyboard hands down. You won't regret it. Free beta on the market.

For me and for now I use the flext9, which is powered by dragon. But I already paid for it a while ago. But I suggest use what others have already said. Try the beta swype for yourself and see if you like it. I have used swype and would get pissed at it when it got buggy...yes I know its a beta , but I would go to another kb. The GB kb is great for a plain jane kb, also, swiftkey X beta works well too.
If I were you, I would try all the free versions of kbs, starting with the most popular to what you like and narrow it down from there.
Smart Keyboard Pro. I've had it since my Nexus one days, and it's still the best.
Thanks everyone, I will check them all out after work today.
I wouldnt mind also trying a new browser, any suggestions? I know a little bit of whats out there but still learing.
Thanks again everyone.
only swype ... still best //
SwiftKey is the nuts. I think it's made from actual magic

You would think hTC stock keyboard would have arrows for this mighty screen
Swype FTW I never had a keyboard where I could type that fast.

ive heard a lot of good stuff about swift but i feel like my fingers r to fat for it so i make mad mistakes and i theres no option to turn auto-capitalization off?
SwiftKey is very good at predicting text even with fat fingers
As far as the browser goes, I prefer opera.

Hi this is my first time using ICS and I am finding it hard to get used to the keyboard.
I was wondering what keyboard everyone uses/recommends on their One S
Thanks

I use stock. I'm coming from the Glacier so its been difficult getting used to the larger screen. But the swipe function in stock helps a great deal.

Hey,
I'm using now SwiftKey 3 ... before it was released I'd prefered Smart Keyboard Pro ... because I cannont handle Keyboards without a little bit of space between the buttons.
regards,
mmry
Thanks I will have a look and try those, I dont see the point of some of the keys like the arrows at the bottom it just seems too crowded for me
It's a toss up between the new swift keyboard and slideit for me... Also Used A. I. Keyboard with no problems, but for sure tons of options
STOCK AOSP ICS keyboard is the best! Get it in the market if you are using sense rom.

I'm looking for a good keyboard app for the Infinity. I really like FloatNSplit, but it's missing one special character, the degree symbol
I know it's a minor annoyance, but combined with the dock's seeming inability to produce any special characters at all, I thought it would be a good idea to start a conversation.
Any good recommendations out there?

I use Thumb Keyboard myself. Have not used it with a dock so not sure how that works. It seem to have everything...haven't used the degree symbol. I will check tonight to see if it is there.
Thumb keyboard. It doesnt have the degree symbol (or at least i cant find it), but im sure you can contact the developer and have them add it. It should be simple to just add to the key binding feature.
Thumb keyboard +1
Just checked the degree symbol (°) and you can add a key binding for it.

SwiftKey. It has the split keyboard feature in landscape mode (and numpad in the middle), very responsive.

I personally like Swype but not so much for landscape although you can make it float which makes it possible to use with one thumb if it's flexible I'm going to try this thumb keyboard that everyone is talking about. Although I find the Swype super quick and responsive.

Thumb Keyboard +1
The best. I had to do a slight adjustment with font size because of the brilliant HD screen (and my eyes are getting bloody worse every day), but once that was done, great app.
I think SwiftKey is just the best for touch input. I've been using the ASUS Keyboard for the dock, mainly because of issues with the diacritics, but now with KLSwitcher this is solved. I think it's just fine with the dock now, tapping on the screen for auto-completion isn't very functional when using the physical keyboard, but apart from that everything works.
Hacker's Keyboard is ok for the term when not docked because of all the special chars, but typing is slow on this one.
You can see some of my thoughts on various keyboards for the Infinity in my apps thread.

I am using Smart Keyboard Pro on both my TF700T and my Galaxy S III. Have been using it for over a year - originally used it on my SGS2. It has skins and arrow keys to move the input cursor.
Found a great solution for autocorrect using the physical keyboard. Touchpal keyboard just came out in February of this year and works wonderfully with the physical keyboard. Autocorrect works, as well as input with spacebar, and selecting the next word by using the number row. It's also free. I can't post links yet, so just search for it in the playstore.
I was wondering when that keyboard would come back. Was a good keyboard several years ago

Hello my friends. I really liked touchpal especially that "row number" option you get when the spell options appear. It's really a usefull functionality for me because I use the physical keyboard aswell. The problem is...since i'm Portuguese the keyboard layout gets all messed up!! I tried using other apps like Swift and Ultra and they work really fine 'cause they let you change the key layout but they don't have the "row number" option so every time I want to correct I have to tap the screen... That's not an option because my language as a lot of accents and stuff like that...
Is there some way to change the key layout on touchpal or is there a way to select the spell options in Swift or Ultra using the physical keyboard?
Please help... I'm really frustrated, and I feel that when I'm getting really close to solving this something just goes terrible wrong!! xD
Thank you for the help
