[Q]iOs5-ish Keyboard?

Good day guys,
Im looking for a keyboard resembling the thumb special one from the iPad iOS5.
I really like the concept and i have tried the app "tablet keyboard" yet it just not it.
Im looking for a thumb keyboard that is split on both sides of the device, yet has nothing in the middle thus preserving precious pixels.
Image of what i mean:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Thanks in advance!

Try Thumb Keyboard. Best purchase I've made for my Transformer. Lots of customization and it's only 99 cents on Amazon's AppStore right now!

Did you not read his post or did you just choose to ignore the part where he says WITH NOTHING INBETWEEN.

I love the community! Everyone is so friendly and helpful!

I believe thumb keyboard dev will think about this layout with nothing in the middle.

Im not completely sure, but I dont think that the Android IME framework supports layouts like that (With the application underneath). I think the IME gets a certain area of the screen, and will just have blank spaces in open areas.

Hopefully Apple doesn't have a patent on that... they seem to patent the most basic things. Meh. Would be a great layout though.

Typical. Everytime I see a "new Apple feature" that Android already has, I can't suppress a smile. Then I see Apple's version and dammit, they manage to put a new slant on it that wipes the smile away!

Asus makes a actual keyboard for the transformer it extends the battery life too and there is nothing in the middle of the screen.

The new swype beta has a sliding keyboard that takes up about a fifth of precious screen realestate. I have a post with pics in here somewhere. Not what you specifically asked for, but it is free when you sign up for the beta.

Inverted touchpad in 3.2? How?!?

Hi guys, for some reason, despite the fact that I have updated to 3.2 and the dock is EP101-0209, when I try to scroll using the touchpad using 2 fingers, the motions are still inverted.
So when I scroll up the page goes down and when I scroll down the page goes up.
Did anyone get this? I thought with 3.2 the inverted touchpad was fixed.
If it helps, I do have the Canadian version keyboard, labeled CBIL (Canadian Bi-lingual) with shortened shift and enter keys.
Also, I am not sure why the picture is so big, can anyone tell me how to post a picture thats resized to fit the screen? Much Thanks

3.2 causes the reverse scrolling. The 0816 patch looks to regress the change. If you've not had the latest OTA then you'll see the reversed scrolling.

Even after the OTA, you have to switch the cursor style in Input Settings to make it switch to normal scrolling.

I dont seem to have the option to change cursor style under input settings, where do you see that?

You probably haven't received the latest OTA yet. It's due to start rolling out in North America tomorrow I believe.

Awesome, it reverts the inverted scroll with this patch too, eh? That's great news.

As long as you switch pointer style to Pointer. Tested and working on Prime 1.8.1 beta.

Macbooks have the same scrolling thing too. I guess they r trying to mimic touchscreens, but still it seems counterintuitive at first but after a while ull get used to it

Yeah, but then you kind of expect that with Apple. They love to force their customers to hammer square pegs through round holes. (One-button mouse, anybody?)

"Simplicity" Mockup Browser

I havn't found a browser that I like 100%. I like Dolphin but I want something a little more clean/simple. Thats why, yesterday, I thought of making my own in photoshop (for now).
Let me know what you think.

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
So, that would be the main page. The three dots next to the Google logo would be a drop down menu for switching search engines and including others like Wikipedia, Wolfram-Alpha, Yahoo, ect. The icons at the bottom are from left to right: Home, Tabs (like when you do a home screen view on Sense/Launcher Pro/ADW/Go Launcher), Back/Front (Can be used on websites or tabs), Bookmarsk, Options.
The whole thing would also go into full screen mode and the top and bottom navigation bars would be brought up using the menu button (optional).
Again, very simple. At the bottom you have your main operations. Sort by (most viewed, alphabetical, ect.), Edit bookmark names/urls, and batch delete.
This is options menu. Options are seperated into three categories, Display, User and Misc.
I just realized that I forgot the enable/disable toggles (duh).
Anyway, this is pretty much my dream browser more or less. Im still working on some other things in photoshop.
Let me know what you guys think.
By the way, I got most of the icons from here...

I guess I would have to make my own if I actually developed this.

It's nice but i hate apps that doesn't use the native style of Android...why does everyone think that he needs to create an own UI?

Looks clean. I'd give it a try.

I'd definitely use it

Not sure what you mean by that. If I used the native style of Android wouldn't it be just like the stock browser? Therefore, it would be pointless in me making one?
Im by no means a professional UI designer so im probably misunderstanding what you are saying.
I do agree with you about apps that Android doesn't already have stock though.

Hmmm.. It has WP7 icon style

Issue enabling swype

Hi I'm running cleanrom which is just the stock sense rom debloated from VZ apps. I have Swype+Dragon 1.6.2 installed and was using it for a while. Then I turned it off at one point but now when I turn it back on it never gets activated and all I get is the Sense keyboard. When I long press in a text box, I still don't get a choice to pick a keyboard. How do I re-enable swype as my default keyboard? Thanks in advance.

Go to Language and Keyboard in settings and activate Swype from there (set to ON.) Then you will be able to select it.

That's exactly what I did and I still only get the Sense keyboard.

Had the same problem here. Uninstall and reinstall Swype.

Go into your App Manager section and disable Sense Input.

Ask for Default Application Each Use

Is there any way whatsoever to make it ask me what default app I want to choose each time. As in, the old Just Once/Alway complete action dialog?
I've tried Complete Action Plus. Doesn't seem to have any effect.

Nope. It's lollipop forced. Maybe marshmallow it changes... Get used to it.

I'd love this too, but unfortunately I don't think there is. Sucks because I have to keep switching between Adobe and Write on PDF for my business. **** is annoying.

I just came across something last night that's a decent workaround for most things.
Better Open With (sorry, no link; new member) prompts you with it's own UI, which is still pretty intuitive. It works by having you set the default application for each intent it supports (which isn't a lot, but it's most) to itself. Then, when you open something, it will bring up it's own dialog box that's pretty similar to the old style.
It doesn't have as much customization as Complete Action Plus did, but it gets you 80% there.

I thought it was lollipop forced as well, but both my Note 4 and my Note 10.1 2014 are running 5.1.1 and give me the choice of running specific apps just once or always, could it be the Note 5?
