EDIT: the problem is solved in the lastest version of Swype, so you can use it again without problems. In order to use it, delete /system/app/Swype.apk and /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so and then install Swype Beta.
Also, I remove the link of the one I posted here. Even though it's included in our stock ROMs, I prefer not to post the app here.

Swype Beta is driving me crazy (swype consistently breaks apart my words (thinks i lifted my finger off screen)) and I think I'm not the only one. As stated in that thread, keyboards included in stock ROMs are optimized and should work better (of course) and in fact the one from XXLE4 is working very well.

I was looking for something like this... And here its is... Will try it now...Thanks a lot...
By the way, what do you mean by the keyboard layout? Did you changed the position of the letters or something...

Yes, usually Swype keeps the same keyboard and changes few keys. This new version also adds keys (accented letters for example).
Open Swype.apk (apk=zip), go to assets/files/ and open some of the "xxxx_Capitalization.png" to see what I mean (maybe there are some changes only in french/italian/spanish keyboards).

So I found this out by accident and wanted to share. I don't know whether this was a feature on 2.1 as I've always used HTC_IME but here goes.
On the main keyboard drag your thumb up from the letters to above the preview bar and a whole row of letters and punctuation appears under your thumb. You don't have to hit the ?123 button anymore as a quick swipe up above the keyboard accomplishes the same thing.
This by no means gives me enough reason to move away from the HTC_IME but it's kinda neat.
I heart Froyo.

You can do that on HTC_IME also. I'm in CM 5.0.7 test3 and works perfectly.
How? Where in HTC_IME can you get two additional rows?
HTC IME already lets you long press letters to get additional keys, I consider this far better because I can see them already and just have to press for a short while (customizable length in the HTC IME mod)
Awesome! Didn't know about that. Thanks

Oh nice. Never tried that before so I wouldn't know if it's new to froyo or not.
However, I used to closed the keyboard by swiping down, and I find it extremely difficult to do in FroYo, I don't know what's wrong :-/

I'm not saying HTC_IME is worse. In fact I very much like it. The only feature of stock keyboard I like is the way you change languages if you have selected multiple dictionaries.
That's awesome ! FroYo really made Touch Input usable for me.
Thanks a lot for the tip.
Also did you all notice the tab key when inputting fields. Saves a lot of time.
it's a neat feature, but i don't think it's any faster than long pressing a key. overall i still think google should make HTC_IME standard
Also on smart and better kb
Cool, thanks. I had never noticed that. Kind of like all the cool features there are on Swype that I just found accidentally.
I'm really happy with this latest version of the stock Android keyboard - it has multitouch! I was wondering why typing was suddenly way more accurate. The punctuation input is also a clever idea.

What? Where did you get that keyboard from?
Cool, I didn't know this.
I also like in Froyo (wasn't there before), after you hit the space bar after a word, punctuation shows up where the suggested words would be.
The stock keyboard has had multitouch since 2.1, it's not true multitouch like the iPhone but you can press two keys and it'll pick them both up. It's only when they're close together that it might mess up because it could think you're sliding but that's just the crappy touch screen. I really wish HTC didn't cheap out with the touch screen..
may i request someone to make an apk for the chinese keyboard & hwr that initially comes with X10?
i recently updated my phone and its gone don't know what happened zzz
i assume you can read chinese rite?
here you are
http://androidin.net/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=122272&highlight=
the original chinese input is suck,just install google,QQ,or Sougou pinyin from the market
Can´t change chinesse input method!!!
Dear all, I have the big problem that I have in my x10 mini the touchpal in chinesse as default, it is a system app. So I can´t use other input method or app to write sms. How can I change the lenguaje of this app?? I want spanish or english!! Are there any apps which make this work?? Thanks
I too am looking for this input in an apk. Willing to 'donate' for the cause should it work.
I know other inputs are possibly better but I'm used to this one now and can make it work as fast and easy as I want it to. Familiarity is good.
edit: and I'm learning Chinese but not fluent enough yet to read the above linked forum and request a Chinese person put it together.

Are you talking about this one?
^^ that's the one but I tend to use the qwerty for pinyin input. Do you have an apk for it? Are you able to mash one together? I'm still fairly new with android stuff and don't want to stuff up my beloved.

Yes, yes I do.
I've attached it here.
If you'd like, you can donate to me here
but it's not really a big deal.
Cheers, is this your work?
I pulled it from the system off my phone.
Wasn't much, but yeah I did it.
Enjoy
Alright cool. I don't mind honoring my previous statement and donating a small amount, but I'll test it out first to see if it works.
Thanks again
is there one for chinese hand writing input?
The HWR is handwriting recognition. I tested this now and it works great!
Thanks to zephyrix for sorting this out
Question
Hi Everyone
I'm a new user, I just brough a sony ericsson x10a from At&t, And my phone don't have chinese keyboard on the phone, can someone please tell me step by step how to install it. Also, how can i uninstall all the app that come with the phowe.....thanks and have a nice day
1. Go to settings > Applications and check the unknown sources box.
2. From the market install an app installer (I use App Installer by ModMyMobile)
3. Download the apk file uploaded earlier in this thread
4. Open it with your new app installer. This will install the keyboard.
To switch to this keyboard press and hold in a text field and go to input method and select Chinese Keyboard.
To switch from English to PinYin to Handwriting Recognition press the cog icon in the bottom left of the keyboard.
To change settings of the keyboard press and hold the cog icon in the bottom left of the keyboard.

Did the apk say it installed correctly? If so then you should be able to select the Chinese keyboard by pressing and holding your finger on the text box and selecting 'Input method' then Chinese keyboard. Note: I've not tried the apk here on the android 2.1 update. It may not work.
it's not working on version 2.2.1
i'll recommend HKIME

Are you using an X10? It's worked on all X10 ROMs I've tried, but won't install on anything else..

I've been following dexters froyo and recently took the leap and installed v1.3 of his ROM and am very very grateful TO him FoR helping us out with such great features and performance Of Android 2.2.1.
But my qualm is that THE default dictionary (in v 1.3) has some peculiar problems Of capitalizing some unwanted letters and wOrDs As you VSN (can) notice in this post.
This is proving TO BE a great nuisance FoR effectively utilizing my XT 720 productively.
MY PLEA:
Dear Dexter,
Please provide ys (us) with a clean and usable dictionary which would make this a great ROM.
Sincerely,
Your Fan.
You sure these words arent in your custom dictionary? There is no dictionary file at all with the included multitouch keyboard.

Yes. This is with a clean install Of Dexter's Froyo upgrading from stock 2.1 update 1 from Motorola.
And in THE language options in settings, I've tried both UK and YS (US) language options. Also removed all THE user defined wOrDs from within that menu.
Just try typing THE following wOrDs and let NE (me) know.

I get weird spelling suggestions too but it's the auto-correct that drives me up the wall. It seems to always want to put names in. Like "any" gets auto replaced with "Amy" etc. Really annoying but I don't know what to do about it.
Why not just use a 3rd party keyboard? I prefer SwiftKey.

Edit: Swiftkey.net has a beta (VIP) program.

There is a keyboard setting that says to use names from your contact list as auto correct suggestions, I don't remember if its in the multitouch keyboard or another Ive used though.

Am using the Android 2.3 keyboard by Steven Lin available on the market. Looks good and is a pleasure to use
I've used like everything from the latest beta of swiftkey to swype to 8pen to gingerbread keyboard, but the multitouch keyboard has the best feeling and spacing to it imo - and I make the least mistakes with it. Wish dictionary would work.
Hi everybody,
I made an application for changing the keyboard layout of the dock if you are root. You need to do it every time you flash a new rom, but with it it's faster.
For people who don't know : When you use the dock keyboard, if the virtual keyboard is not the Asus one, the dock layout is in Qwerty, it's a bit annoying for people who are not English.
Anyway, the app is translated (English/ French).
Please feel free to post comments.
By the way, it is designed to work only with the Transformer. It should work on other Transformer modele (Prime, HD etc...), assuming it is the same files.
I made a version with ad if you want to support me.
Market link :
With Ad
Without Ad
Please feel free to report me bug, or anything else.
Thanks XDA !
There is a bug with Switkey (market version) and Fr layout, Caps lock doesn't work, but with SwiftKey Beta (and obviously next market version) it is fixed.
First of all thx for the nice work...
i downloaded the apk and tried it out on the nightly build of cm9.
i can launch the app, but then the selectable item stays black, so i can not change the lay out... i never got the question for superuser permission, so i guess that is where it somewhere went wrong?
The app don't need the su permission to list language files. The problem is probably in CM9 , i will try it this week-end.
Hi, what rom did you used ? Because i tried Megatron just now, and it worked.
I used the nightly build of cm9... straight from cm...
Okay, i tried something but it didn't work, i think i know the solution, but i need some time.
Ok, i tried something, it didn't work. I spend most of my day here.
Then i went to the Transformer Settings, and found an "Advanced" menu (just after "Apps"), where you can change the dock's layout.
Hey NitroG42, I just found your app here, installed it, works right out of the box and bought the ad-free version (even though I'm adfree) to say thank you!
Thank you very much !
Hi guys, i added on demand the dvorak layout. You can find it on the market version !
Hi, cool app
For french layout, caps and caplock don't work, so sad...
(it work for reaching numbers , but not for capitalizing letters)
You use swiftkey aren't you ?
Because it came from the market version of Swiftkey. Switch to the beta or wait for the update.
tried it.
1. it works but it's not easy to understanding the method of adding dvorak layout.
2. the search button doesn't work after switched to dvorak layout (US).
overall is good.
sorry not working
not working i'm using cm10
My app isn't working on CM rom, sorry.
Hi,
I was trying to get an answer to this but couldn't find anywhere.
I have just flashed Cyanogenmod on my Note Pro and found myself missing the good old Samsung stock keyboard.
I was thinking to download a differnt keyboard from the play store but after a long search i still want the stock keyboard (with the arrows, the ctrl and tab keys).
please help me to find a way to reinstall the samsung stock keyboard.
Thank you
Ray
This is the official app for it... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.visionobjects.resourcemanager
Alternatively, try Hacker's Keyboard for a truly full key set. It's a keyboard designed for coders, but as a writer I absolutely adore it. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.pocketworkstation.pckeyboard It also has several dictionaries for T9.
Thanks for replying.

Thank you for your reply but the official app you suggested can't be downloaded from the play store.
(No install button and says: "your device is not compatible with this version")
As for the hacker's keyboard, I tried and think it's a good option but it's missing one important feature... No Swype
I don't think I'm asking that much... I just want a full keyboard with ctrl, tab, arrow keys, Swype and prediction.... That's all
Thanks again.
I think if it were me I'd have rooted stock, done a full backup in Titanium, as well as an nandroid of stock using TWRP prior to switching to CM. Once CM was running I'd selectively restore app only from Titanium being mindful that some old system apps may be touchwiz specific and may cause issues (so I'd update nandroid of CM periodically as I added them).
The APK is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46847745&postcount=88
I can't guarantee that it'll work though. Probably need to set permissions and all.
Try Ki Keyboard, it's on the play store ,I'm just not allowed to link to it until I reach 10 posts.
I paid for it, needed a keyboard which would allow me to change the width/height/padding/margin of each key on the keyboard. By doing this, I managed to measure out my home full-size keyboard, and the keys, and create a near 1:1 replica using Ki Keyboard. I hate touchscreen keyboards, but this is the closest I can get!
