Having an international keyboard layouts is great but apparently there are few languages missing I guess HTC also thought about that. Is there any way to make a custom keyboard layout (for a different language)? I couldn't find any specifications. I know there are lots of custom keyboards around the market but now when Android has its own international keyboard I guess its better to stick with it. Any help will be much appreciated

just tried my custom (univ of mich. htc ime high res keyboard)
by installing the .apk and clicker.apk. and it works fine on our phone.. they are very customizeable.. include all kinds of options and voice search in keyboard.. in addition it gets rid of the stupid multiple letters coming out in the stock keyboard when you dont want it (must have better detection of that case i discussed in a previous thread).. recommend you try it here.

i am rooted so not sure if you need that or now but probably not.
by the way the version i am using is v.25 havent tried generating a newer one.. havent had any issues with this one to speak off.
Ive been using Swiftkey for a few days now and its definitely the best Virtual Keyboard I have used for Android and it can also correct your Physical Keyboard inputs as well. I can't think of any other keyboard that offers Virtual and Physical auto-correction better than Swiftkey.
There is a paid version and a beta in the marketplace, you should definitely give the free Beta a try. The G2 already gives the One-Two punch of having the best of both worlds, its only just that it has the One-Two punch for software as well .
I tried it and didn't like it personally. However I found HTC_IME Mod keyboard to work better. I'm not a big fan of Swype either.
Swype is "too" smart for me sometime lol...To be specific, the auto suggestion and completion is junk. The Numbers and symbols layout are not the best.
Anyway, does anyone know how to update Swype version? I tried to download and install the lastest version to see any improvements but haven't got successful
It autocorrects the physical keyboard too? Does it do word suggestion for the physical keyboard?
Edit: wow it does auto correct the physical keyboard also. It be nice if someone couple make this work with the stock or other sense like imd mod soft keyboard.

That is the keyboard that I was using before Swiftkey and it does alot of things really well. The MAIN thing that stopped me from using it is no Multitouch Support. I would type so fast on the virtual keyboard that the word "Smartphone" would look like Smtpne.

I agree, if I could combine the Physical Keyboard Auto-Correction and Multitouch from Swiftkey with HTC_IME it would be the perfect keyboard.
actually..better keyboard provides auto correction and word suggestions for the physical keyboard as well. search for it from the market..its a pretty decent app..and quite accurate as well
better keyboard by better android

I agree. Swiftkey for the physical keyboard and swype for the virtual is a perfect combination. Maybe there will be a way to configure that eventually.
I'm still waiting on BlindType

im going to try swiftkey.. no free trial for better keyboard?
This exactly what I was looking for as there was no spell check in the email. This is great. Thanks

i tried swift and while i liked the auto correct on the physical keyboard it annoyed the hell out of me when i was trying to type in spanish.. so i ended taking it out.. maybe ill purchase the full version in the future so i could have more than one language pack
Now, I am not the dev of this app but I am here to sing its praises.
Its a great keyboard app for virtual keyboard, it has pretty much all the features that other keyboards have, including swype.
Anyway it utilises a great spell check feature and good toolbar that can also be used for our hard keyboard, this makes work correction and things like copy and paste very very easy to use.
Now I currently don't know of any other keyboards where features move over to the hard keyboard, but this is certainly worth looking into, I love it.

there is a free trial available too.
what do you mean? how does it work together with the hw keyboard?
Yeah, SwiftKey (an infinitely BETTER keyboard, by the way) works fine with the HW keyboard, and the features of their software works with the HW keyboard. There's a reason it's #3 in the Market, and Ultra Keyboard is #578.
It does not work with the hardkeys ÅÄÖ and possibly others, they are always uppercase :/

its hardly fair to judge it based on that, swiftkey is made by a company and has had loads of publicity, ultra keyboard is made by one individual and has flown well under the radar.
As a keyboard Ultra is the best keyboard around, the only feature its missing is the prediction that swiftey offers.
I have some beef with the developer, so I'm a little biased anyways, and SwiftKey only has publicity because it created hype, anyone can hype their app.
Look at BlindType, Google bought them based on hype alone, the app was never released.
Ultra's alright, I just hated the prediction on the Compact QWERTY, it seemed like it had about 3 words pre-programmed in and everything else was missing and had to be typed in. If he released optional language packs like SK does, I probably wouldn't have as big an issue with it.
Hello everyone,
On the stock samsung 4.1.1 ROM there is this nice
"Autocorrect on spacebar" option.
When using different ROMs i always miss this function,
is there an APK available for this keyboard?
And yes i know there are different keyboards available
that use this function, but i would like to keep the top
numbers row from stock samsung keyboard..
Thanks a lot in advance!
I've tried to replace the stock samsung keyboard with different ones and none of them will work. Has anyone found any that will work with the sprint variant of the note 4?
The stock Samsung keyboard is tied int TouchWiz ui and simply swapping out the apk will not work. I don't know why you would want to replace it with a different apk. Instead , I would install seperate keyboards in addition to the stock Samsung keyboard so not to break TouchWiz. I hear the LG G3 keyboards is pretty nice.
Well i found one that works can't remember where i got it but it works. I see your point i just like the stock keyboard just wanted a dark one. I like the sammy one better. When i had my note 3 and s5 a simple keyboard swap in the system would work maybe it was the roms i was using. Thanks for your response.
