Hello ,everyone!
I am recently engaged with keyboard .I wonder what is most important about a keyboard to most users.
Would you please kindly share your precious opinion with us?Thank you very much!
Main thing it is usability, example real PC keyboard - good -phone screen keyboard - suxx.
Depends per example, I use fleksy cause I like the custom themes (that you can make) and because of ther size and it just types nice
{
"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"
}
I also sometimes switch to swiftkey. swiftkey also has themes but you can not edit them yourself but it does feature swype and quit good predictions
Prediction!
Thank you for your detailed reply!

No problem, I am here to help.
For me, ideal english keyboard has numbers above letters for quick access. That's probably all I'm missing in standart Android keyboard.
But if you are thinking in non English world also, there is space for improvement in autocorrect (for example default android keyboard tries to correct every word it doesn't know, which makes autocorrect totaly useless in my language). Also it's really annoying to write special characters (for example á,š,č...), because you have to press letter, wait for a second and than choose from a sub menu. That's actually quite a big delay because you normally have to write many of these characters.
I hope it helps you somehow and sorry for my English.
For me is Accuracy and Predictions.

Im trying to set up UC on my Raph, i read quite a bit using Alreader.
I dont think it stores any settings in the registry so im guessing they're stored in one of the .ini files
nothin said:
it is BEST ebook reader so far for me.
of course, someone will say booo ubook is better, maybe, but it is MUCH slower and MUCH heavier...and FAR less configurable. alreader is VERY compact program with massive amount of options, hyphenation etc(look inside rar).
it has profiles, that can be switched with...BUTTON - in fact, VERY much things can be mapped to buttons..
btw, there's NOTHING better to read .doc files(lol @ ubook in that matter, just LOL) - awesome loading times.
alreader is in english, here's rar:
http://www.mm.pl/~xoen/AlReader0131.rar
it is able to use many codepages, so far i tested russian, polish, english ebooks.
screen:

"lightbox_close": "Close",

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

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
what's VERY interestin that it can handle html pages too:
imo, it is best thing you can use in ROM kitchens.
my OEMpack(preconfigured 2 profiles etc):
http://www.mm.pl/~xoen/!xoalread.rar
only thing is for sure: it may take some time to get around options. some of them are available when file is opened(it may be strange for someone).
i can recommend this soft.
btw, for everyone, that is using apps operating with text - glyphcache set to 131072 or MORE can really speed up performance of programms, not sad 8192, 32768, just more - >131072 can be used. value is in bytes, so it is not strain for system...
sorry for funny english, i can read, can't write...:S

im looking for where the settings are to change the button layout
left button - back one page
right button - forwards one page
any help would be appreciated.
i made a .cab from the above post if its of use to anyone.
Hi everyone, I bought Samsung Epix, which is a wonderful device, except that the optical joystick/touchpad sucks.
So, I wanted to ask if you know about software keyboard that would contain only directional arrows (as for example navigating a word or two back is a catastrophe - the touchpad reacts with delay, and it takes a lot of attempts to put the cursor where I wanted - and using it in mouse mode to click between two concrete letters is a pain too).
I created a mockup of what I would like - is there existing keyboard like this, or some lightweight skinnable one for which I could make an arrows-only skin?

Thank you!
Great idea, but it doesn't exist because the Epix and the Saga are the only phones that really need this.
FingerKeyboard skin
Some time ago, when I used FingerKeyboard 2.0, I wanted this same thing and did it by "cheating." Make made layout in another language and put only the four arrow keys that layout. If you use FingerKeyboard, doing this isn't diffficult as the skins are just text files.
If you'd like me to dig through my old files, I can look for my skin, However, I have a lot lined up as work this week and probably won't get to it until Friday.

Thanks, that shouldn't be necessary - just a tip for a concrete configurable SIP and the 'custom language' trick is enough, thank you!
I've got a problem that I don't seem to see any others having... although they should.

Every time I open the keyboard to type I'm greeted with the cursor handle halfway over the "w" key. If I try to start a word with a "w" it will think I want to move the handle and the swype won't take, so either I have to wait ~5 sec for it to disappear or hit another letter and backspace and then start. If you are good you can get the bottom of the "w" key but more often than not you get the handle.
It's in the most unfortunate place, too - as most phrases I text start with "w".
Where you at?
Who is coming?
When will you be here?
What do you want to do?
Why are you still here?
...etc
The stock keyboard is fine since there is the space above - why not Swype too?
So the question is - first, more theoretical, why would Android default to have the handle there when there is no text entered? (e.g. starting a text or web search)
Secondly, is there any way to get rid of the handle altogether? I've gotten accustomed to Android not having it so I'm good if it's not there but also with Swype there is little reason to go back and edit individual letters.
Maybe someone who works for Swype will see this and add the new (and much improved) word selection bar above the keyboard all the time like stock gingerbread...
Try Swype 3.0 (in beta)?

Thanks for the reply. I'm using version 3.6.84.26668.t100.26698

Then I'm afraid I have no idea how to fix your problem. I don't ever get the cursor handle when initially opening an input window. Mine only shows up after I touch it a second time.
I have that same problem with the cursor over the W...very annoying. I've defaulted to skipping the 'W' when I type the first word...
OK so this is a sort of experimental app that needs some testers. It's not in play yet but the apk is attached to the bottom of the OP. I'm just curious how many people would find something like this useful and wonder if I should carry on making it or just abandon it. Basically the app works as a sort of shortcut for frequently typed phrases or whatever that you may constantly type out that you may not want to. So you create a keyword and a string of text associated with that keyword. You can now cycle through keywords via the widget or the app itself and click on the keyword and have the associated text copied to clipboard for easy pasting wherever you may want
widget usage:
- Click left/right arrows to cycle database
- Click keyword/string to copy to clipboard

Would you mind explaining it a little better?

I didn't get it. What exactly does it do?

That link will give you an idea of what they are. I think what needs to happen for this to be worthwhile is a needs a custom kb to work with since you are unable to interact with these keywords in other apps(hence the clipboard). With a keyboard I could have a keyword for a really long bit of a text and I just type the keyword out and it will autoreplace with the associating string saving you time.

Basically, you create short texts that expand to the full phrase/sentence you like. The only similar app I found was https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.agileapps.autocorrecteditor&feature=search_result which has fairly negative reviews and still has 500-1000 downloads. I expect this is about the size of audience the hotstrings app would get, perhaps slightly more if it is rated more positively.
Hi I know this is old but I'm looking for something like this! I had this option on my iPhone way back when, it's the only thing I miss about it. I use the Swype keyboard so I don't know if that will conflict with your app but it's worth a shot! The link seems to be down, is there any way I could get this apk to try out?

Hey
The swiftkey app is all of speed and predictions. You certainly cant disable the next word predictions.
If you dont want to use the predictions why use swiftkey in the first place? Just go with the stock one.
Good day
At the moment i have HTC Desire, i really miss HTC_Ime_MOD the best keyboard imo. Swiftkey is light and fast and i also bought from amazon app store (it was a big discount - swiftkey for free ). Or maybe another question. When i use prediction and etc. I get words with my native signs like ą, ź, ć, ó, ł, ń etc. If i send sms to someone i can't send it with 160 signs but with less, usually if i use 160 signs with polish signs i am not sending 1 sms but 3 or more - annoying for me.
The best option will be get htc ime mod, but nobody want to port to 4.2.2 - jelly bean, only works on gingerbread.
Anyway stock jellybean keyboard is not good for me.
If someone know how to replace signs from ą to a and other one it will be great, htc ime mod got this feature
Best regards and thanks for Your answer!
