[Q] landscape keyboard

Is it possible for anyone to create a landscape keyboard for the touch screen ?
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA App

I believe some of the custom ROMs already have one, at the very least. Poke through the dev forum and see if you can find what you're looking for.

There is no current ROM that has this, it is yet to be seen if this is possible, as it wasn't built in by Samsung. They thought that there was no good way to have a landscape screen keyboard on our phones. So it would take a large amount of integration and work. Anything's possible, but as of now, it doesn't exist and is very far away if anyone is working on it.

last time I tried gokeyboard it worked in landscape. but it kept trying to translate my english into chinese so I uninstalled... but try this https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jb.gokeyboard&hl=en

not working for me , im gonna pm you to see if i can try to get it working

well, it used to work. you can see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15247397#post15247397 I was using it around the first of july. I tried it again today and I could not get it into landscape mode.
So, it USED to work, but apparently no longer does. Darn GO dev team for their frequent updates. (I think all go apps are some of the best btw, great/frequent updates)

Htc ime mod works in landscape I have the .apk but idk how do post it

Word, works and looks great thanks for posting. IF anyone is wondering, i used astro to install, then went to my settings, locale and text then deactivated my stock keyboard, and activated the new one.

Does the Galaxy S have the swype or regular virtual keyboard with landscape mode? If so, couldn't it work on the sidekick? If anyone would email me those keyboard apks, I'd be a guinea pig for that.

I still don't know how to do it I'm on the xda free app but ayoteddy posted it so great way on staying on top of things I habe the same one I believe
Edit: yes i have the same one just a diff color

Sorry, noob here... how do I install the file on my phone? TIA.

download the apk, place it on your sdcard, then use something like Root Explorer to move it into /system/app.

Awesome. Thanks!

Require Root?

You need to flash zip in recovery. Check the original thread regarding taking out the apk from the zip. Not sure about that.
Sent from my GT-N8000

It's only animated in the LWP chooser, then stops once i set it as wallpaper. On n8013.

Surely not. It changes with timeline. Been watching all day. right now its night time and it is showing shooting stars and fireflies.
Sent from my GT-N8000

Weird, maybe it just an issue with n8013? Doesn't matter what scene i set it to, the animation always stops when i press "set as wallpaper".
EDIT: Works on stock ROM. Animation doesn't work on CM10.

I have this live wall paper and I got no root it works great no lags

Just install the apk from the zip and the widget weather apk.

Great widget
Thanks for posting this. This is exactly the type of transparent weather widget I've been searching for. It looks and works great. The fact that it can be resized is a plus. I like it large on my homescreen.

Great find. I think I found my permanent wallpaper and weather widget haha. And for those of you having problems with the animations stopping, just go to application and clear data then force stop and just reapply. It worked for me.

[APP] Stock Android 4.2 Keyboard (with Gesture Swiping) Leaked

If you're on a phone with a UI overlay that has the stock keyboard disabled (eg, Samsung TouchWiz, HTC Sense, Sony), you can just download the apk below- no root required. To install, make sure you have "install from unknown sources" enabled in your phone settings, and after installation, go into your phone's keyboard settings and enable "Android keyboard." Then, you can switch to the new keyboard. This may also work on some "stock" Android custom ROMs - but it will not work on stock Android builds distributed by Google. For instructions for Nexus devices running stock software, see the next paragraph.
Mirror 1 (APK)
Mirror 2 (APK)
If the apk doesn't work, you're running a phone that is either A.) running stock Android (as in, AOSP), or B.) running software that has the stock Android keyboard as an option, you'll need to download this ZIP file, and flash it in recovery. That also means you're going to need root. as you'll be writing to /system/apps. Before you do, though, either back up the stock keyboard (if you don't know how, you probably shouldn't be doing this) or create a full image backup, just in case. Here's that ZIP file:
Mirror 1 (flashable ZIP)
Mirror 2 (flashable ZIP)
Note: this build is an older one, and is not representative of exactly how the keyboard will look when Android 4.2 is officially released. The word suggestion pop-ups, for example, are different from what we've seen on Nexus 4s running the release build of Android 4.2. All the functionality is there and works properly, though.

Worked on Synergy r73!

I'm on slim beans which is an aosp ROM and i just installed the apk and it worked fine. I love how it shows the trace of the actual word your swyping. And the keyboard is surprisingly really quick and responsive

Here's the keyboard apk. Pretty slick.

Does this work with clear 3.1
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

this is amazing.....seems to work better than swype, just first impression though....gonna put it thru its paces by typing up an extensive email later and hopefully get it goin good....only qualm i seem to have so far is that to add words to your dictionary for it, you have to turn off auto-correct then tap out the word then tap the word in the autocorrect list and then save it, more hassle than it should be lol
edit: is it saving words for anyone else? it says that its saving it in the dictionary, but the word never actually gets saved and vulgar words aren't even being asked to be saved either.......so i'm guessing this is the "clean" keyboard to stop us from cursing lolol

just noticed a pretty cool feature, if you hold the ?123 and go to swipe it'll show the keys so that you could easily swipe an @ sign without having to press the ?123 key then press the @ key, just simply swipe from ?123 to where the A key would normally be and it brings it up rather nice and quick

I don't know how to make it learn, on swype you write the word and tab space to make swype save it, on this keyboard I can't find a way to make it save the words
Sent from my X10S using xda app-developers app

@hoss_n2: What I've found is to tap the word on the bar when you finished typing it. This way you can same it... But somehow it goes to some dictionary editing tool.... Not a very efficient way of learning...

Jelly Bean Keyboard Android 4.2 apk

Hi all,
Check out the new JellyBean 4.2 keyboard, which is like Swype only better (IMHO). http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-android-4-2-keyboard-apk/
It allows you to swype to type, but as you are moving your finger the words it guesses show up right next to your finger. When it gets to the right word, you lift your finger, and it types the word. Very cool!
Be aware that you might have to google around to get the apk, as Google is trying to take down the leak. But it works great, and installs on your rooted phone just like any regular app.
for those who have forgotten:
Install the apk
Go to languages and input in settings and select the Android keyboard.
Go to any text box, pull down your notification bar, and select input method that way.
Enjoy!

I got this yesterday from droid life. But it don't seem to have a personal library where you can save words. I've been using swype beta for a while now and that's the best part of it. I can type my emails and passwords in and it remembers it. Saves so much time. Its a deal breaker if this doesn't include a personal library. I do like the suggested word though.

This is already in the apps and themes section.

good,thank you for your information

it doesn't do the floating text on my GS3. Why is that?

I know I'm running beans custom and if you go to language and input in setting there is a personal dictionary you can select that I've been using. It stinks you can't add words straight from the keyboard but at least it's a temporary workaround.

Honestly I'd be shocked if the final version doesn't learn the words you use frequently automatically. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't let you add words manually though, Google seems to be going the apple route of less manual fiddling and more "sane defaults".
edit 1 :
Seems to be working fine on my S3 with CR3.1, hopefully we can get an update of the official release once it comes out.
edit: 2:
Scratch that "working fine" comment, I got a hot-reboot while typing which I am going to assume is because of the keyboard. Maybe you JB folks will have better luck.

Works great !!! Thank you
