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.
Hello everyone,
I want to buy a TF + dock, but first I need to know some things.
I live in Greece and I need the Greek keyboard. I know that there is not an official honeycomb Greek IME, but Asus has a Greek keyboard.
Can I use the dock with input other than Asus IME?? In Greek there are accents like ή, ά,έ, etc. In windows PC, if you press the button next to L, and then press the letter η, it becomes ή. But when I played with a TF in a shop, the dock keyboard could not input accents.
Also, after a lot of search in my HTC Desire's market, I only found SlideIT keyboard that has a dedicated soft button for accent input, neither GB keyboard nor HTC IME has it (one of the few things that make me jealous of iPhone's greek IME), instead, you have to press η for some time and then swype to ή that pops up.
Is there any solution in this problem?? I really need a hard button to input accents, in order to use it in Document editing and Presentations.
Thank you in advance,
Thanos
Not sure about the greek characters on the keyboard dock being an option, but I've seen keyboard character stickers - you can just place the sticker on the correct key.

Thanx for the help,but it is not the characters that i need on the keyboard,but the actual ability of the keyboard to use accents over the letters.
This is what I mean: in greek, if you press ' before a letter like α,η,ε,ι, and then press the letters, they appear like this: ά,ή,έ,ί. It is greek grammar. I want to know if somehow i can do that with the keayboard dock.
I know that some keyboard apps from market like SlideIT keyboard have a soft button for that, but I havent found it on keyboard dock,hence why I am asking if it is possible,or if I can use the keyboard dock in combination with a keyboard app from market.
Best regards,
Thanos

Ah I see, in that case Android 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2 support greek locales. Source: http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-3.0.html , http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-3.1.html ,
http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-3.2.html
So I don't see why the keyboard dock wouldn't default to whatever language you have set in Language & input in settings.
Edit: I just tested this with my keyboard dock, and I can confirm that it works with whatever language you have selected in Language & Input in Settings.
It does work with greek locale, but the problem is with accents..
Anyway,thanx for your help, I already contacted asus greek support over the phone,the guy didnt know the answer and he told me to send an email for them to search it thoroughly and they will reply soon,i hope!

Accented Greek characters appear just fine on my eee pad with android 3.1 by pressing ; key and then the relevant letter. So probably the version you tested in the store had android 3.0 which if I remember correctly didn't even had Greek input support.

Hey mate,
Are you from GR??
The tablet I tested had 3.1, yet there were no accents..The truth is though that there must have been something wrong with the tablet as well, because when I chose between EN-GR on the soft keyboard, sometimes Chinese input appeared. I showed this to the salesman and he told me that they would make a factory reset. Tomorrow I will go by the shop to see if the problem is fixed and check again the keyboard dock accent input.
BR,

Hello !
My Sensation has received OTA ICS.
Before that, with GB 2.3.4 I was using 3 languages in same keyboard English, French and Arabic by clicking on the screen and changing the mode.
I cannot see this option in the update, so I cannot active the permutation between French/English and Arabic and must close the keyboard, go to settings and choice Arabic keyboard before continuing my multilanguages texts.
The tutorial say that the permutation has to be done into the settings that are inside "input keyboard" but there is not Arabic inside that. Arabic keyboard is a separated option.
If anybody found a solution and can help that would be very nice. Thank you in advance.

Good morning !
Finally I found myself the solution. So,
simple ! When the keyboard is activated, a small icône appears at the top of the screen in the status bar. When scrolling the quick menu settings the keyboard mode settings appears. And here we can change the mode.
Previous method in GB was very convivial and practical because everything was done directly on the same screen.
Thank you and sorry if this thread is unusefull for most of you.
Regards

I'm using ADHD 6.6.4 and during the installation I removed everything but English on the lang keyboard support.
I thought then ill just need to add my lang and that's it.
Now I've only one layout and I can't pick any. Even if I change the whole Phone lang to Hebrew I still have only English keyboard.
Is there anyway to fix this besides installing the whole Rom again?
Thanks.

Hey everyone, I am presently using a Bluetooth Keyboard that is paired with a GT-N8020 with Original ROM.
To change language on the Keyboard, the quick key is Shift+Spacebar, however this combination is annoying as hell, especially if you are a fast typer. Example: Shift+I then if you hold on the Shift and press Spacebar, you change languages just for trying to type I.
Was wondering if there is any application or mods that allows you to change languages with Shift+Alt instead.
Install External Keyboard Helper. I have the pro version because it is excellent with external BT keyboard.
