Touch Keyboard + Keypad working for Kaiser

Enjoy!
Fixed to remove predictiveness when using the hardware keyboard.

it works good, but its a little bit laggy..

I really like the simple qwerty keyboard without XT9. How do I keep this one? When I select a text area, it defaults to the 20 key pad with T9 and I don't like it.

any screenshots?

Good stuff TLR - works very nicely on my device. Cheers

When i switch to german the keyboard and pad are not working. couldt somebody make this version to support german language

Works great but I noticed that when using the 20 key keyboard the keys don't light up.

figured out the problem. the files L20-map_down.png and P20-map_down.png included in the posted cab are corrupt that's why the keys don't light up when you select them. In order to fix this problem, you have to download the OEM version of the keyboard and replace the files I listed above with the one located in the OEM version. Copy the files to the \windows directory and overwrite the corrupt files.

when installed, i can not use predefined symbols (ď, ť, č, š, í, ...) on hardware kbd (fn + spacer). any solution for fix?

I have the same problem. Help

The jonasl mod allows you to set a gesture to switch between keyboards. I use right swipe for that, so with a flick I can go from qwerty to compact qwerty to T9 and back. Very convenient

thx, I do not know that i'll try

If the keyboard functions correctly with the N1, it shouldn't be that much work to compare the image sizes between the original and the one you want to use. Resize the images to the correct sizing and edit up any that need it, insert them back into the apk and re-sign.

Phonepad Keyboard App

So yeah, I spend the whole day searching for a better phonepad keyboard. But everything that pops out is for qwerty. Texting is a major communication tool in our country and yeah, english is not the norm so I can't use Swype even though I'm dying too use it. So a better phonepad keyboard is the solution.
I wanna change it since the Optimus 1 keyboard is too cramped for me, I'm looking for one with bigger keys.
Thanks in advance!!

What exactly are you looking for? A number pad style keyboard? Blackberry style keyboard (2 letters per key)? Or just a better QWERTY?
I'm not sure but I think the HTC_IME keyboard allows various styles to choose from (all of the above 3 I mentioned). There is also Swype which eliminates the need for large keys (because you don't press the keys, you use motion gestures).
Me, I personally love the stock Android keyboard. It seems pretty good at knowing what I'm pounding out.

A number pad keyboard. The ones that you see from older phones

Search for the IME mod keyboard. It's got a phone keypad style keyboard.

WOW!!!!!! It works! Thank you so much~!!! This is exactly what I'm looking for! You can even edit the smileys! Perfect! Thanks!

Oh no. Wait, I had a bit of a problem.
I don't know what is the setting called but I'm pretty sure it's present in tis app.
When I use the phonepad keyboard, for example I press "2" so the 1st letter that will come out is "A" I noticed that the time that "A" is highlighted is quite long compared to the native android keyboard, thus slowing my typing down. It does not only affect the phonepad keyboard but also the compact qwerty. How do I edit this setting? Thanks!!

Please I really need help!

Sorry, you cannot edit that setting.
Try instead Better keyboard. It also has a keypad-like one.

[Q] Keyboard layout

Hello! Colemak typist here.
Can you change the layout of the keyboard? I don't mind about the physical layout, just the software mapping. I have no idea how he keyboard is handled so could someone kindly work out if this is possible? And if Colemak is available?
Thanks!

Nobody with a keyboard who can quickly check this out for me?

If you don't get a reply shout me tonight and ill give it a go.

hmmmm. cant see anything that allows keyboard remapping in the settings.... which is a shame as my @ and " are not as per the layout ... which is odd .....

Could always try button remapper beta off the market. I don't know if it will work on the dock keyboard but I could remap some of the keys using a usb keyboard on my viewsonic g tab. Something to try at least.

One way to do it is go to this website to get a general idea about remapping. Then download the KeyTest.apk from the author.
When you start the app you can see which scancodes are created. Now go to /system/usr/keylayout (most likely requires root) and change the keyboard layout that is associated with your keyboard. If you don't know, download aLogCat from the market. When you connect a keyboard it will show up in the log. For special characters and shortcuts modify the appropriate keychar table in /system/usr/keychars.
Hope that helps. It worked on my XOOM for a generic BT keyboard that had lots of Apple keys.

Wonderful. Thankyou all for your helpful posts! Very glad to know there is a way to do this, even if it is not an official option.
Thanks again.

You need to change the software keyboard to the ASUS one in order to get correct layout on dock keyboard.

As a follow up post - I got a transformer with dock. Downgraded to 8.2.3.9, rooted and found the keyboard layout in /usr/xt9/keylayout/qwerty-en_GB.kl. I edited by hand (thankfully it's a lovely human readable text file) and now am enjoying colemak! Woot!
I might write a little how-to so that anyone can do it quickly and easily.

Make certain you are not applying ANY language selection to the keyboards in the settings. The Hardware keyboard is NOT a standard en-US keyboard, and those bindings break the special keys.

But since we can edit the keyboard's code, can't i just make it work with my language?

You can, but there's another method for that. Specifically, the one being discussed in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314834
The keyboard settings application's applied layouts do not work for us.

I think that thread is dead, can you help me with enabling alt key?
I know how to edit system files etc. But I dont really know what to do exactly, and how to make the changes work.
