Is it possible for anyone to create a landscape keyboard for the touch screen ?
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA App
I believe some of the custom ROMs already have one, at the very least. Poke through the dev forum and see if you can find what you're looking for.
There is no current ROM that has this, it is yet to be seen if this is possible, as it wasn't built in by Samsung. They thought that there was no good way to have a landscape screen keyboard on our phones. So it would take a large amount of integration and work. Anything's possible, but as of now, it doesn't exist and is very far away if anyone is working on it.
last time I tried gokeyboard it worked in landscape. but it kept trying to translate my english into chinese so I uninstalled... but try this https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jb.gokeyboard&hl=en
not working for me , im gonna pm you to see if i can try to get it working
well, it used to work. you can see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15247397#post15247397 I was using it around the first of july. I tried it again today and I could not get it into landscape mode.
So, it USED to work, but apparently no longer does. Darn GO dev team for their frequent updates. (I think all go apps are some of the best btw, great/frequent updates)
Htc ime mod works in landscape I have the .apk but idk how do post it

Word, works and looks great thanks for posting. IF anyone is wondering, i used astro to install, then went to my settings, locale and text then deactivated my stock keyboard, and activated the new one.
Does the Galaxy S have the swype or regular virtual keyboard with landscape mode? If so, couldn't it work on the sidekick? If anyone would email me those keyboard apks, I'd be a guinea pig for that.
I still don't know how to do it I'm on the xda free app but ayoteddy posted it so great way on staying on top of things I habe the same one I believe
Edit: yes i have the same one just a diff color

Sorry, noob here... how do I install the file on my phone? TIA.
download the apk, place it on your sdcard, then use something like Root Explorer to move it into /system/app.
Awesome. Thanks!

Here is the gingerbread keyboard - mostly compliments of AndroidBruce. I got another version working from my own SDK - but it is really slow compared to this one for some reason. MD5's on the so and apk are the same ????? oh well here is this one if anyone wants it.
Flash as an update.zip - this was only tested by me on stock dk28.
To enable go to settings > Locale and Text > check Android Keyboard.
I had to go up to select input method 3 times to get it it show up in the list...
Known issues:
Seems that user dictionary doesn't work...i'll look into it.
Perks:
it's multitouch, and best of all its not swype (I feel a "Swype is awesome" remark coming)
Differences from this version?
I flashed it. Its just the stock android keyboard with multi touch. I'll keep my swype
Thanks anyways!

They got the Auto correct working. The only thing not working is the vibrate on touch. You guys should collaborate.. Thanks for the hard work...
I give this 12 hours before I merge with the other thread...in fact I might just move both of them to the Apps section

I don't think this counts as an app or theme. Its a PORT that needs continuing DEVELOPMENT to function 100%.
Anyways, the other one I tried made me have to restore because its only for deodexed ROMs. I don't wanna install a rom. I like stock. Will it make me have to restore again?
Ps, I know you said its on stock, butdo you mean the .tar stock or acs rom (which is also considered stock deodexed I think...idk lol)

Thanks for porting the app. Hopefully, all features will be working soon.
I'd say that with this new keyboard, all of the custom keyboards are now largely obsolete. It also renders the hardware keyboard less useful than before, although it's still useful (I'm using the hardware keyboard right now) for longer messages.

How do I install Swype on G2X?
Is the only thing I really miss from Samsung Galaxy S 4G
Wrong swction, general would be a better section.. google swype website and it gives you instructions there, nothing g2x specific....... did you try looking before posting this?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Swype is pre-installed on the G2x, just hold down in the area you want to type untill a box comes up that gives you options, one of the options is to change input method. select that, then select swype. Please, read your owners manual
Yup it is....

Yep I was bummed out about swype then I remembered about the input options lol d'oh
Yup. Pre-installed.
I downloaded the Gingerbread Keyboard from the Market since I'm used to CM7.
Thread needs deleted or moved....
I don't know what it is, I just saw it in the box. I'm a married man, you think I have time to read a user guide, it was more of a joke. But I'm glad you found your swype.

After installing a custom ROM my swype has been lost.
Anyone know how to add the swype keyboard back to custom ROMS?
Join the Swype beta.

beta.swype.com
Hahahah I'm sorry but you guys are funny Hahahah
Joining the swype beta is a good idea even if you're using a ROM with swype built in; beta is newer and is a lot better.
Also, in the market there is a keyboard called T-Swipe Pro. It is a great swipe type keyboard and can do swipe in Thai and Japanese if you want also. It works great for English also. You can try it for free from the Android Market.
I have swype pre installed on my phone. I was wondering how you update it on the G2X. I join and did everything it said but thought i read somewhere you can updated it if its been per installed. do anyone know if this is true or what?
Swype 3.0 IMO is way better the stock swype.

Per Swype's website, it says it won't work with phones that have this pre-installed.
Can anyone confirm?

More than likely this just means that you have to be in the swype beta and that your keyboard isn't going to automatically update.

I used Titanium backup to freeze the pre-installed swype then i just install the beta fine and everything works fine.
Tapping to text definitely feels nicer on the latest version of swype. The look of the suggestion bar is also vastly improved.

I think that's part of their Honeycomb-exclusive distro.
Also, be sure to uninstall your current version of Swype beta before installing the new one. If you run the installer while Swype 2.x is installed it will NOT update.
after i turned the phone off and turned it back on the swype started messing up and wouldn't open again i had to reinstall the old one to get it to work so idk

Weird, mine has been working all day. Even through a rom and kernel update. Maybe try fixing permissions.

So all I need to do is "uninstall" the stock Swype and then the beta will install?

This is FlexT9IME_TMO keyboard that I have been using for awhile. I like it a lot better than swype personally.
This one has been themed with the "Awesome Keyboard" theme that was created by "Dansta34". Just thought I would share with anyone else that is using FlexT9 keyboard.
The apk is signed, you should be able to install it like any other app through apk installer or root explorer or whatever you use.
Will this work on any rom. And nice job this keyboard looks sweet. Using virus kingdom for now(yep works thanks)

Speech to text broken...
I stumbled across this thread last week, & being an avid flexT9 fan . I DL'd & installed it. Being happy with the results I then shared it on the VaelPak forums (vaelek.com) since there's a lot of us on VaelPak using the flexT9 keyboard. Sometime yesterday someone discovered that the speech to text function wasn't working at all, which was a deal breaker for some as they use it frequently. I haven't seen anyone else mention it here, so figured I'd ask if this was a known issue, & or if it could be fixed.
Great work by the way, love the look of the keyboard.
No, the speech never did work right. You might be able use the .lib files from your original flexT9 keyboard and see if it works.
If you figure it out, post it here if you dont mind.

How is black Swype different?
Is it just the color of the keys? Or is the whole keyboard smaller? A smaller swype keyboard that doesn't take up so much of the screen would be great.

I have the tablet beta installed which is black and orange and it's very small in portrait, and half screen in landscape.
Has anyone got a version that is scaled?
This is scared too small for the note.
I would love a themed swype though! In black pref
Awhile ago i was playing around with voice settings trying to get a different voice (for navigation, etc) & ever since then i lost the Mic on the swype keyboard.
So I downloaded & installed this black swype (to try & get the mic back) & deleted the system one like a post in this thread advised & now I've lost swype completely :-(
Any suggestions? Or maybe I'll just wait till i update the firmware or wait till ics?
