[Q] Physical keyboard language changer - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all, I ve just connected a physical keyboard to my Xoom but I cant type in Greek. I use SwiftKey keyboard as a greek supported virtual keyboard (works flawlessly) and although I am able to write in English, I cant type in Greek with my physical keyboard. If anyone knows a way to do that please tell me how. Thanks in advance

Did you set the physical keyboard to greek in the settings? Each keyboard type needs own settings :/

check setting

Problem is that Xoom doesnt have greek keyboard thats why i use swiftkey keyboard as virtual keyboard. Is there a way to add greek in system/usr/keychars?

I've already used morelocale2 this morning with no luck to change input method, only local settings language.

I just found the solution and it was much easier than I thought. The solution is called Go keyboard, one of the most popular keyboard apps on the market. I was using swiftkey, tried smart keyboard, tried slide it but none of these had support for physical( hard) keyboard if you hadn't had Greek input method as an option in settings menu.
Thank you all for the help anyway.
In greek ευχαριστώ πολύ

[Q] How to add input language?

I would like to type Japanese and Korean using default keyboard on apps such as GMail or text message to write messages in these languages.
Is there anything I can do besides custom rom or rooting? I plan to use stock ROM as long as possible
I noticed that I could change the menu in Korean or Japanese, but that's not what I want. I would like to keep the menu in English.. but it's just that I would like to have a keyboard option.
It doesn't seem like none of the Asian language option is available.
Please help me out! Thanks!
I would do a Google search for "Japanese ime" or "japanese htc ime." I think I saw a few options but I haven't tried any myself. That should point you in the right path.

I know Google offers a Korean IME free in the marketplace. Not sure about the Japanese situation.

Thank you all for the help. I'll try that out later tonight
I use Simeji for Japanese.
I found 'Korean IME' made by Google themselves on Android Market and this definitely works. Thank you again!
sweet thanks! I just downloaded it and it works really well. now I have this and my gingerbread MTM keyboard to type in both languages.

This thread is really old. You probably would have more luck with a ZTE specific forum. Not sure anyone around here has even handled a ZTE device, let alone modified one.

Swiftkey

Is anyone out there using Swiftkey tablet. I use it because of the Dvorak keyboard layout, mainly because the Note doesnt seeem to support keyboard layouts other than Qwerty.
When I type in Swiftkey it seems to be registering multiple keystrokes. This doesnt happen in the stock samsung keyboard or SlideIt
No problems here. Try uninstalling and then re installing

Did you try Polaris Office and S Note.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but to no avail. Still does it in these two apps.
I'm using SwiftKey without any issues. I've used both Polaris and S Note. Did you try a restart? Could be some sort of magnetic issue that might be resolved that way. Big bummer. Sorry.
I have swiftkey on all my devices except the Note10.1.
Does Swiftkey support big, small hovering and split keyboard like original keyboard ?

It supports big and split, but no hovering.
does using a keyboard other than the stock one still allow you to use the S-pen instead of the keyboard whenever you want to? I know that the stock keyboard has the setting button that you press to select text recognition for using the pen within the browser.
Think it's a common issue but I can't get SwiftKey T to learn from my Gmail.
Anyone else having this problem?? Or have a suggestion.??

I'm using SwiftKey 3, but I've been experiencing a lot of freezing+force closing when using it with Chrome.
Hovering would be nice. It offers all else that I need.
Hi all,
I work for SwiftKey. Please be sure to post bug reports (one at a time) on our public forum at support.swiftkey.net. We also welcome suggestions there. Regarding Droidcarp's note that there appears to be some difficulty with personalization, our Dev Team has been made aware of this report and they are looking into it for you.
Again, our public forum is the best place for suggestions and bug reports. This allows us to streamline the development process so we can continue to make SwiftKey as excellent as possible for you.
Thanks very much,

As long as you dropped in, HWR would be good, too. Sammy offers a hover keyboard and HWR, also. Started using their split keyboard - very nice - and offers HWR.

Any idea how to get the handwriting key to be included?
It is a shame the standard samsung keyboard doesnt support dvorak
Definitely needs handwriting support and the arrow keys like the phone keyboard.
For now it's fine to leave the stock keyboard set on handwriting and use the keyboard switcher in the notifications to switch but it would be useful for it to be integrated.
Also maybe a way to adjust the width, in split mode it seems too wide and I have big hands!
I switched to swift key also from swype today and noticed an echo like effect in snote, working fine in the xda app but broken in the snote app.

My stock Samsung keyboard can no longer provide haptic feedback after installing the SwiftKey tablet, does anyone have the same problem.? I think doesn't matter how you change the settings, and it just doesn't vibrate

[Q] Is there a way to remove the smiley key from the stock keyboard?

And the "globe/earth" key next to the spacebar? The functionality of the globe is redundant if you can hard press the spacebar for the same action.
Check the checkbox system default language in stock keyboard settings will remove the globe.

Where is it?
Click on Input languages. But I see you have multiple languages selected, don't think you can remove the globe with multiple languages. Try Multiling keyboard app from the PlayStore.

Okay, thanks. If I root my phone, is there a way to just edit the stock keyboard?
Or just buy SwiftKey

Not if you know how to modify the AOSP codes and recompile the stock keyboard. Give Multiling keyboard a try, I'm too using multiple IME and it fits my needs perfectly.

stop keyboard defaulting to samsung when using bluetooth keyboard

so when i use mt bluetooth keyboard i get a popup saying i need to change to samsung keyboard to use it. if i click ok or press back it will change the keyboard. this is annoying because my samsung keyboard is regional i.e. uk and my bluetooth keyboard is us the same as thumb keyboard (the onscreen i use) so when it changes keyboards some of the symbols are different.
so my question is, can i stop this from happeing?

Wanting to know the same thing - or even if any of the custom ROMs has this "fixed."
The app External keyboard helper pro allows you to set the language, so you can set it the same as your other keyboards and it has some other helpful settings too. Maybe this is what you're looking for?

Not sure, might try it out. I never had these keyboard issues in ICS and was hoping I was just missing a setting. Have you tried out this app for this purpose? Does it work well?
