I am using SwiftKey and I would like the option to be able to use the keyboard in landscape without going into fullscreen mode. I tried the Slim Bean rom which had this option but I have since changed to CleanROM. It appears that some aftermarket keyboards have this feature but I would like to stick with SwiftKey and CleanROM if possible. Any suggestions? Thanks!

i have installed the JBMIUIv4.1_2.10.12R2r rom the only problem that im facing is that the keyboard in messaging only doesnt auto rotate to landscape can any1 please help me out i've looked everywhere but could'nt find a single clue
Maybe you can try installing a different keyboard. If you like swipe you can try touch pal keyboard from the play store. I use this keyboard myself and really like it because I like swipe and the jelly bean rom I'm runnings keyboard does not do swipe. I came across touch pal keyboard and it's proven to be an excellent keyboard. Hopefully this will solve your issue. TouchPal learns new words as you type and is the best swipe keyboard I've came across.
Best wishes and Also just to let you know TouchPal works perfectly in landscape mode too. Just rotate the phone and it goes to landscape. I personally really like this replacement keyboard. Hopefully this will solve your issue. . Good luck.

Is it just my phone or does everyone elses stock keyboard suck. I literally just reset my phone and typing in the google user info on the phone setup was the most painful thing i have ever done in my life. Then when i go and load the JB stock keyboard, the phone freaks out and their is constantly a notification in my status bar asking what input method I want to use. I CLEARLY PICK THE JB KEYBOARD, LEAVE ME ALONE!
Sorry, it just fills me with anger that someone would give the go ahead to release this to the public.
I don't too many people who use stock keyboard, there's a million better options.
Yea the Samsung keyboard lags ridiculously, I use the android 4.2 keyboard. works great, and can fly txting with the swiping actions.
I use PERFECT KEYBOARD. Free in the Play Store. Works flawlessly and looks professional. Of course you'll have to go into settings>language & input>change the default keyboard to Perfect Keyboard.
The lag comes from their predictive text. Go into the settings and and turn it off and you will see ZERO LAG. Or... download another keyboard such as swiftkey (which is AWESOME!!)

Mike is right. SwiftKey is a awesome keyboard. Zero lag and the prediction is great. Probably the best keyboard out there. I paid for the app awhile back and it was well worth it. I used it on my Rezound cause of the keyboard lag and now on my s3. You'll love it.

Yes go with Android as Andy says or as I prefer Swiftkey. The keys are big enough for me to hit. There is new straight beta and Flow beta. Sign up for VIP and they email you all beta APK's.
Thanks for the advice everyone. I ended up loading AOSP 4.2.1 so its not an issue anymore. I had loaded the JB 4.2 keyboard several times and would pick it in the settings menu, but the Touchwiz roms didnt like when i didnt use their keyboard so it would constantly ask if i wanted to use a different keyboard
Simple. What keyboard are you guys running?

Well I use GO Keyboard ... it's pretty cool and you can get different colored themes..
but this website has some pretty good suggestions

Android 4.2 keyboard
Stock 4.2.2 with Swype-style gestures. It's very good, with just a few things niggles, e.g."I want to go too" always comes out "I want to go to", and you have to manually select "Too" from the choices. I the original Swype I think you could swirl back on to the "O" and get "Too"
Other than that it's ace. The old tap tap tap keyboard looks really old skool now. (iPhone users)
I'm using SwiftKey - it has Flow (like Swype) and also normal typing.
I tried Swype but the the suggestions are way better in SwiftKey for both languages I use (German and English)

Same here...I use SwiftKey 4, and the Flow feature is just cool.

Me too, but I have just a HTC Wildfire, which is too slow, and that's why I'll turn off the Flow (too slow, and that's why unusable.)
Which keyboard
The HTC Sense (4+) stock keyboard with swype style input and normal. I like it vey much

Flow is like Swype, just with much better predictions
Cool, will give it a go, thanks

Perfect Keyboard Pro. It's fast, completely customizable (down to even adding custom backgrounds), allows you to adjust and tweak everything. It's a paid app in the playstore, but well worth it. Plus you can use keyboard skins designed for better keyboard, smart keyboard, and perfect keyboard so plenty of free skins out there.
If you like to flash custom roms and change up screen dpi, you just backup perfect keyboard settings, tweak the key height, and the keyboard adapts well in landscape and portrait (so no tablet version needed). I've tried them all, this one is my favorite all around. Swype is fast, Swiftkey is amazing, but none offer the customization of perfect.

Swift Keyboard... It comes with a flow option which is better than swype.. It costs around 100 Rupees after 1 month of free trial but worth it...
swiftkey
I have tried a ton of different keyboards, everything from 8pen to swype, stock, I finally settled on Swiftkey. I like it because it is pretty easy to customize and it has a good feel.
hello xda-community,
i am searching an keyboard android application that has a spliting feature (when u got the tablet in the hands, being able to access all buttons of the keyboard using only thumbs) AND also switches to the native s-pen application, when taking out the s-pen.
here a list of already tested apps:
samsung keyboard
swiftkey 3 pro
list of what i am/will be testing:
thumb keyboard
floatNsplit keyboard
in addition i would like to make a poll so note 10.1 users can vote for their favorite keyboard.
edit: seems like floatNsplit keyboard is pretty usefull after some testing. Problem is that it doesnt react to S-pen and i can't find any option fo it in the preferences of the app.
Use SPenBoard Switcher ★Switching keyboards depending on the S-Pen position★
If you using Omega Rom you can use SPenBoard Switcher to change keyboard when S-pen is detach...
Here the link in xda: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2075916
Hope it can help you! :laugh:
SPen Board Switcher works for every rooted Samsung Firmware, not just if youre using Omega.

Yes, it is true... but I mean that SPen Board Switcher is included in Omega Rom :fingers-crossed:
does someone know how to split the keyboard of "Swiftkey Tablet Keyboard v4"? i dont find any preferences or options to make it split into two areas for making it easy to type with only the tumbs when holding the tablet.
SPen Board switcher as stated above. I have honestly been very dissatisfied with keyboards on the tablet. I have yet to find one that I actually like. I've tried 5-6 different boards now, and still have not found one for me personally. Stock Android would be nice - if it had split and number row. So for the time being I just use the Samsung IME - modified with working auto-correct. Has worked fairly well.
Did you try Kii Keyboard? It has options for split in landscape and swype in portrait. And there's a button to switch input methods.
I am using a custom rom and I am glad because I hated all the bloatware in the stock rom but the one thing I miss is that "keyboard" app that when you are typing on the qwerty it generated a little bar of suggestions based on what you had typed. First question can you install that on a custom rom or is it like the circles widget and will only work with stock and if it will work can anyone point me to someplace I can download the apk?
Well I think SwiftKey has similar "suggestions" with what you are looking for...? I'm not sure if any will work with the physical keyboard tho.
I know there are other keyboards with predictive text features but the stock keyboard for the photon Q you dont have to have an onscreen qwerty keyboard on the screen to use it. When the phone is open it appears as just a small sliver at the bottom of the screen enhancing the physical qwerty.
Thank you very very much arrrghhh I decided to check out swiftkey despite you saying you did not think it had the specific feature I was asking for and it turns out it does. So for anyone else with a custom rom that misses the stock qwerty companion swiftkey does everything the stock app does and honestly for anyone using stock i highly suggest swiftkey as a replacement anyway.
