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.

Enyone have the same problem?
Thank you
If you've installed the apk's then go to Language and keyboards in the settings and tick the appropriate keyboards and then open an app that uses keyboards like your messaging app, long press the screen and select input method and then choose a keyboard.
You got a link to the HTC keyboard apk?

Hi,
After I have installed ICS, I cannot use any other input language with the hardware keyboard. It is always English. No matter what keyboard I select: Android (Russian), Smart Keyboard or whatever I have english letters appear on key presses. On Honeycomb I had ASUS Keyboard which allowed to switch language using Ctrl-Space combination. Now I don't have the ASUS keyboard anymore. Have anyone been successful in typing non-English on the dock keyboard?

I have already made a quick hack keyboard to produce russian characters on dock keyboard key presses and switch to english using Ctrl-Space. It should be pretty straight forward to add other european languages if some one would like me to. Chinese, Japanese and Korean is tough and I have no plans to support them.
If anyone is interested, here is the hacked by me standard ICS android keyboard, which allows to type both russian and english on Transformer's dock keyboard. Left_Ctrl+Space changes layout. All other features should work correctly - soft keyboard, voice input...

I've got a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard, it says that it's intended for iPad, but I had no problem with pairing it to my Hp TouchPad running ICS9 .
The only problem is that I'm using two language layout - English and Hebrew. I'm using Android built in touch keyboard and Installed this two layouts - All works well while I'm on the touch screen keyboard.
But - How can I swap between the two layouts on the external keyboard? Is there a ctrl+shift Shortcut like in the computer? Am I missing something?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Curious to know if you found anything... In JB you can switch between LAYOUTS (should you have more than 1 installed) with ctrl-space... but what about LANGUAGE?
Can someone recommend good wireless keyboard?
I work with text alot. Thank

Hey there,
Not many answers here... I've been using this keyboard https://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/p/bluetooth-mobile-keyboard-6000
with my Transformer tablet and am quite happy with it ...
I bought one very similar to this (mine has the UK QWERTY layout which is a waste of time for Android at the moment as it only supports the US QWERTY layout)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Handheld-Bl...-Keyboard/dp/B004407A32/ref=pd_cp_computers_0
The keyboard isn't the best quality in the world but it is small enough to go in a suitcase and having a mouse is very useful indeed, especially when the phone is connected to a tv via an MHL cable : ) It appears to be made by Xenta and the model number is WKB-1500.
If your phone is rooted it is possible to edit the keyboard layout file Generic.kl in System/USR/keylayout. For example, I changed the 'Alt Gr' key to a 'Menu' which is, of course, so necessary for Android. Follow instructions here: http://chris.boyle.name/2010/08/android-keymaps
Most of the shortcut keys work by default (apart from the 'mute' key). Of course, the chocolate box key layout and its small size will not work for everyone.
Hello,
I have a german keyboard dock and I use SwiftKey 3 Tablet, because I like the split keyboard layout and word prediction is good.
The problem is that the special keys on the keyboard dock like <>\/{} etc. are at the position of the US keyboards layout.
SwiftKey fortunately has an option for the hardware keyboard layout, but unfortunately changing to german still does not fit all special characters.
When I plug the tablet into the dock, this message pops up:
"Change to ASUS keyboard to keep consistency with hardware keyboard."
Do you now how to fix this without rooting? And if rooting is necessary, are there fixes?
