Hi,
Is it possible in some way to remove this permanent number row at the top? When I write in wide, that keyboard steals a lot of vertical space!! But I like it a lot so I would try to do to change with another one..

Hi there,
Thanks as always to all of the developers and pros for indulging my questions.
This post is in 2 parts.
First, has anyone else noticed the different ways that android presents auto completion? For example, with the ION keyboard, when using the mms app, the contact prefill comes in a vertical scrolling menu that has the persons name and part of the phone number. Like so, "John Smith <212-55". This font is medium size and at least gives you part of the persons phone # although it does not give you the number type i.e. mobile.
Sometimes the mms app will display the contacts in the horizontal scroll similar to the spelling auto correction. This is far more convenient in my mind as it alloes me to see all of the phone #.
At the same time, the gmail/mail apps display the contacts in a vertical menu but in a much larger font. So I end up with "John Smi" and no idea which email address. I essentially have to figure out which email address it is by selecting them one by onr until I get the one I want.
Similar issues arise with the HTC/haykuro keyboard except that sometines it's the vertical menu and other times it the floaty horizontal/expandable menu. This particular menu is really annoying in that it will cover half of the screen if there are many contacts that it prefills.
Is there a setting or preference file that can be edited so that the auto corrections/prefills appear the same way?
The second part is to get your opinion in the best keyboard. I understand that there arw three distinct keyboards. The ION keyboard. The HTC keyboard. And haykuro's keyboard.
It appears to me that the ION keyboard is the least liked of the three. I actually prefer the look of it and ot feels to be the fastest, however the spelling correction and predictive text on it is retarded.
HTC's keyboard I find is good for spelling correction and learning user words, but I find that it gets quite slow. Also, I find the keys are harder to hit as they seems smaller but that just might be in my mind.
Haykuro's keyboard doesn't really have anything wrong with it but I just don't like the fact that it doesn't have a uniform look from the alphabet pad with the long press keys to the number pad that just has the single character on each "button".
Anyone want to add their thoughts on their keyboards? Ultimately I'm looking for a fast and smooth typing experience.
Thanks for your time!
Hi everyone! It's good to be back. I just switched from an iPhone 6 to a Galaxy S6 (G920F) few days ago but I am not new with rooting and other things in android. I just have some questions and I need help.
1. How can I make the stock samsung keyboard to always show uppercase keys (like the one in the iPhone). I do not like using 3rd party keyboards. I want the stock samsung keyboard to NOT display lowercase keys. I WANT IT TO PERMANENTLY DISPLAY UPPERCASE KEYS.
2. How can I remove the number row on the top of the stock samsung keyboard? Like the one in the S3 that does not have a number row at the top. I prefer not having the number row.
Your help would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance!

I have tried to goole the past week and i cant find what im looking for.........i recently tried a custom rom,,,,and it had round buttons for each letter on a keyboard (instead of square one the stock google keyboard and apparently all other custom ones have)......
I dont remember whats the name of the rom....thats the problem.....aannnd i am now on cm12.1.....i really want that keyboard,,as i feel it is more efficient in reducing typos for me.......
Could any 1 of you help.......
I switched from the ASUS Zenfone 2, which was just an all around terrible experience, to the BLU R1 HD, which had been a much better phone. My only problem has been rust while the Zenfone keyboard had an extra row of numbers at the top the R1 does not. I'm not a fan of bloated keyboards with a lot of features, I just want a black theme, swype functionality, and a number row. I thought I might get used to not having the dedicated number row, but several months in I have not.
I have tried switching the Google keyboard to PC layout, but it adds much more than just an extra row for numbers and I find it too squished as a consequence.
Does anyone know how to add a dedicated number row to the Google keyboard or can they recommend a feature-light keyboard similar to google that does have the number row?
Yes I am aware that I can press and hold on the to row to get numbers but that's not what I want as I'd also like quick and easy access to the symbols that typically accompany those numbers via long press.
Thanks in advance!
If you like the Google keyboard and want something similar w/ the addition of the number row, try looking at
Chrooma Keyboard
(You CAN turn on the number row however, I can't remember if you have to purchase it to gain that function)
