Is there any way/app that can change the input method when docking and undocking the keyboard? I prefer to use swiftkey flow when undocked but the keyboard conflicts with it when docked. has anyone found anyway to get round this, without having to go into settings etc? thanks

I haven't heard of 'swiftkey flow', only SwiftKey itself (hated it for a 10.1, I want to turn off all suggestions and corrections when I have a keyboard big enough for normal typing.), so if I misunderstood, ignore me
While you're at a point where you can type, a small keyboard icon appears in the notification bar in the lower right corner. Tap it and select the correct keyboard.
I don't know if there's a way to do it automatically (isn't there a setting in swiftkey somewhere?)
Also, are you using the right swiftkey version? There's a tablet version and a normal one...
Flow is the newest version,i never liked it before, but flow is much more like swype. I haven't found any setting to do it, but an automated way would be awesome XD

If you're rooted you can use Tasker with the Secure Settings plug in. I use it to assign different keyboards for different apps, and also to switch to the stock keyboard when docked...
There's also Keyboard Manager in the Play Store (but I prefer Tasker):

[Q] Setting up swiping keyboard 3.2
I think since 3.2 that the "swyping" keyboard ( onscreen) isn't working as often in "swype" mode. Is there some finer control over that?
Thanks,

Onscreen keyboard tracing control.
I had forgotten I'd posted this for months, then just searched and found it and realized I still don't understand if there's any control we've got over when the onscreen keyboard works in 'tracing' mode, and when it doesn't.
It does seem to me that it works much less in tracing mode than when I got it. I've got the 3.2 SW, rooted, and the stock ROM and Kernel aboard, so it is likely not anything I've changed.
When I look at the keyboard settings I don't see anything that addresses this so any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Hashi

Hello,
I use my transformer with and often without dock. If the tablet is undocked, I use the SwiftKey Tablet.
As many of you know, the dock keyboard is only working, if the asus keyboard is selected.
Is it possible (is there an app for that?) that the selected keyboard under android change, when tablet and dock are connected?
Best regards,
timscha

You could make a simple script or app which detects the dock being plugged in and automatically changes the keyboard, as I'm pretty green I don't know Exactly how to do this, but google and android sdk are your friends. Maybe someone knows? Sorry I couldn't help more
Hi timsha, i made a little app for that : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1607148
(Btw : it is not for changing the virtual keyboard, but for changing the layout of the dock, you need to be root, but you can use any virtual keyboard, like swiftkey, after that).
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?
Hi,
I'm looking for a app where i can handwrite and the text conver for digital text (like Samsung S-Note).
After some search i've found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2098807
So my questions are:
1- Will this app work on Asus Infinity?
2- Will Asus made the update of this app to turn possible the text recognition?
Best regards,
VGCC
Just tried it. Works. Could also import my old notes.
But it is not optimized for the large screen. Recognition does not work.
The font is even smaller than in supernote 1.55 and I have not found any way to resize it or zoom into.
Otherwise it is much better than version 1.55
Well it works. It's sort of like Super note version 1.1. It's nice that you can draw and write on the same bit of paper without having to insert a picture you draw separately.
Problems? Screen is too high res so it doesn't fill it properly and I couldn't figure out how to enable handwriting recognition.
If they updated this for the higher res screen it would be nice!
Thanks for your replies. I've tried, but happens all the things you said. I hope that ASUS made the upgrade on next stock rom.
Best regards
VGCC

Try "7 Note with Mazec" from the Play Store.
I think, that is the app you are looking for. l am writing this with a stylus. The app is a little pricey, but worth it in my opinion.
you can take handwritten notes and convert them to written text later or as you are writing, and you can also use this app as a text input method wherever you have a text entry field: Gmail, browser, search etc.
It installs as a custom keyboard so you can easily switch between keyboard and handwriting. It also does predictions and seems to get better the longer I use it!
This is my favorite writing method if I do not have the tablet in the dock.
It gets even better if you also use Keyboard Manager. I have Keyboard Manager activate the stock Asks keyboard when the tablet is docked, Swiftkey when undocked in landscape, and 7Note with Mazec when undocked in portrait.:good:

Yes I have bought 7 notes. It is an amazing app! That and FreeNotes give you Super Note on steroids. :good:
I'm unable to download the beta version of 7 note, says it is not compatible. Running clean rom 3.3...any ideas?

Set your dpi to 240
I'll have to flash for that right? Or does clean rom have a setting I'm not seeing? Thanks for the tip I really want to like this app!

You can either reflash which isn't really a problem as you will keep all your settings and apps if you don't do a wipe. Just choose everything again.
Or you can edit the build.prop in /system. Use es file explorer to open he file as text in es note editor and edit the very last line. Reboot and you will be at 240.
Yeah no dice... Changed build prop to 240 from 224 and still show incompatible. Thanks for the idea though! Any other ideas? It's weird because the free version had no problems.

Maybe its not compatible with our resolution. Have you emailed the dev? I've only used it on a nexus 7
Just went to the Store and it works fine. CROMI 3.4 213 DPI
That was my next option. Thanks dude!

Does this have Palm rejection?
Current betas are included. Pick which third-party keyboard you've chosen as your go-to keyboard.
SwiftKey is the Best
I have tried both Swype and SwiftKey and in my point of view "SwiftKey" is the best.
I use thumb keyboard..its stable and more responsive.. imo..

I use the GO Keyboard. I like the designs and interface as well as the multi language functionality when I need to communicate in Latin to my brethren. It's got swype functionality and it's free too. I've used several keyboards before so I've had a decent spectrum to play with.
SwiftKey is awesome! Their new Flow feature (basically their version of Swype) is great too.
I've Enjoyed Mine!
I used to use as many keyboards I could to test which I like. For a long time I didn't keep a keyboard for a week. I eventually found the keyboard of my dreams (replaced by the stock ICS now)... Jelly Bean Keyboard by VLLWP. I highly recommend it.:good:
Since 4.2 never used any software as it included swype feature.
Before that swype 3
And also used siine keyboard just for fun.

I use swiftkey. The trail it leaves when swiping looks loads better than Swype and stock JB
Swiftkey on my phone, Hackers Keyboard on my tab. (swipe on 10.1 inch, really?)

I use Touchpal on my phone and tab. I like the fast switching between languages (I switch a lot between English and Dutch) and between swyping and typing. And the fast way to type numbers and symbols (swyping up on the right key) is a big advantage.
TouchPal is the best.

Smartkeyboard.
I gave so many others the chance, but every other missed features I need.
I need customizable longpress duration, customizable smileys (I even use a smiley key as my mail, meaning it's so much easier to login everywhere) and really important: the whole keyboard must be resizable (because my lcd density on the nexus4 is on 240, wich would mean every keyboard is extremely small).
I also like the arrowkeys in portrait mode and the domainkey (wich I only use for even more shortcut smileys susch as \o/ or ^^ / ^.^)
Oh, and I don't need any prediction, here in switzerland we write in swiss-german, wich doesn't really exist. There is no word prediction or something like that for us.
I get an average kpm of 240-250 with smartkeyboard pro. Once I even got to almost 300
Mine is Swype. The only feature it's missing that I desperately want is a setting for long press duration.

I'm using Swype atm.
SwiftKey is the best in my opinion because its much better than the stock keyboard.
I wish SwiftKey had the action of the swype key.

It's not bad.
I actually liked SwiftKey Flow, even though everyone hates it.
