Ive been looking for a custom keyboard, but with the arrows because i use them. Id like some kind of blue themed keyboard but I cant find one that already made and I have the skin generator but it still doesnt offer arrows. Does anyone know how I can easily do this, or even find one already made because ive had no luck searching so far.

Try Ultra keyboard in the market has all this and more. you can set everything up and even theme it yourself from within the app. even does tracing.
If you use a htc ime mod keyboard you can use the volume keys to change text position

There have been many keyboards suggested as of late, and I am still in search for an iPhone replica keyboard...
the main reason I'm looking for it, is the minimalistic design, and the spacing between the keys. I don't want all of the arrows, and other buttons to change launguage etc etc...
has anyone created this for the HD yet? if not, and someone is willing, I would be willing to make a donation towards who creates it.
side note: iphone replica bubble style display. looking for a wvga version for the hd as well.
Have u try this?

ya, that's what I'm using now.. it has way too many buttons, all of the arrows on the bottom, and the keys are still too small.
I don't get why everyone is making the keyboards for the HD smaller than the iphone, and the HD screen is BIGGER than the iphones...
I aknowledge the fact that we all like our keyboards skinned differently so they don't look like anything out there - which is rad in my opinion, that's why this forum is here, so we can all customize, and personalize our phones.
If I knew how to create keyboards, I would be on it in a heartbeat.
sorry for the rant..
You should try PCM Keyboard http://www.pocketcm.com/keyboard2.php
There you can customize your Keyboard just the way you want it and it has the feedback and the space between the letters(Skin) that you want. But I don't know if it works perfectly for the HD because I haven't installed it on my HD yet. But on my Prophet the old version it worked fine and looked just like the iphone.

Tried posting this in the actual thread but its kinda dead so hoping I can get a few suggestions from someone here... Is there any way to get more cutom smileys to show when using this keyboard? I have about 20 I use regularly(most of which are japaneese style (._.) (@[email protected]) (^o^)y etc.) and thought the custom smiley was a great idea but with all my smileys being 4+ chars I can only see 4 or 5 and it wont scroll past what shows on the screen... any way to fix this?

I don't believe you can customize that, but anything is possible and perhaps someone here can help you out with that.
Is there any rom or flashable zip to change the phone app to something nicer?
I absolutely hate the stock answer screen, it annoys me that sometimes I can't pull the slider or it let's go of it. not to mention the dialer, it looks so crappy :/
Right now I'm on MIUI and the answer screen is absolutely perfect, but I'd like to get back on samsung fw with few mods, and this keeps me from doing that.

You can find some dialer apps on the market by searching for "dialer": https://market.android.com/search?q=dialer&so=1&c=apps
hate the people who only read briefly through the topic, I'm mostly annoyed by the answer screen and I'd like the dialer to be default, there are few roms that have changed dialer that's why I asked, but I'd like to know about the answer sliders also.

There is no way to change those. Only way is some themes that theme the sliders as well (but in the end, they're still sliders)

....need the same too!!
well the miui phone app is great, answer screen has a drag down slider, it's so much more confortable to use it.
I don't know.. maybe it's a problem with vertical drag or something, on miui you can also change lockscreen to be iphone style, it looks exactly, but if I drag the arrow it's glitchy while the drag down slider works flawlessly.
so, does the samsung fw support changing the answer screen to something else?

i have the EXACT same problem. also trying to find a other phone.apk, setting the home button as answer is NOT a solution.
Hanger you guys looked at Widgetlocker in the market, it will change the lock screen and answering sliders...
WidgetLocker does not change anything else than the lock screen.

Devs/XDA buddies,
I have tried looking with no success(Forgive me if I have overlooked). I am looking for a custom keyboard (like GB's) with swipe but with the English/Spanish button removed and the swipe tutorial removed. With these two buttons removed it would make an awesome space bar. It seems like I am all the time hitting the period or comma in error. I have tried some other keyboards from the market and they are a little odd for me.
Thanks in advance for your help!!

not really sure but i use better keyboard when i do use my screen as a keyboard bought it a while ago but dont know if it has swipe functions like swype does. have you tried to look in the settings menu to remove these languages? i dont use swype nor do i really like the default layout but i am sure there is a fix for your discomfort. there are other keyboards in the market that offer some sort of swype-like functions!

Thanks for your help.. I have went through all the settings.. There is a setting that even ask you what you want for your primary language.. If you chose that option it still has the button enabled. Usually to get to the keyboard settings you can long press the English/Spanish button to get to your lang settings..same with the tutorial button. There is a setting to disable it but it still works. hehe.. But yeah i am still in search for a decent keyboard even if i have to sacrifice swype..
gb keyboard is nice although i dont know if it has a swipe function but yeah, np, check out the market and have fun experimenting! If you're like me i just download all that i think might be the one and definitely delete the ones that prove no purpose or have memory leak bugs or any bugs i prefer not to work around!
Go keyboard has swype and a nice sized spacebar. That might suit your needs.

Thanks for your advise.. Been trying to use the Go keyboard for a couple days. The interface is lovely. Tried using the swype and its terrible. I am still looking though for a nice new keyboard..
Hello guys!
New to (posting in) the forum so unfortunately I cant post this in the developers topic
But I'm hoping someone could help answer a few questions for me
I finally got around to rooting/unlocking/rom-ing my Koodo T989D
Decided to give Hellkat a try as my first custom rom, and so far it is a huge improvement over JB
So many little annoyances now solved
However with that there are a few things that have cropped up that I'd like to change if possible
First is probably the most important thing,
having used stock Samsung android for the last few years, I grew very accustomed to being able to swipe left and right over contacts in order to text/call them, probably my favourite feature really
I understand that samsungs dialer/contact app are very intergrated into touchwiz but thought I'd ask if anyone knew a dialer that works well and has this feature that I could try out?
Second is the camera, I know recently that stock google camera apps have gone to a very 'clean' interface
however when I am trying to take a picture randomly, I find it far easier to change useful settings if they are shown constantly overlayed over the image (as opposed to pop-ups)
one thing I was impressed with by samsung was their camera apps customizable settings buttons (allowing choice in where and what to display)
Can someone recommend a camera app that has settings overlays or better yet that allow customizable settings buttons?
Third is more specific to the HellKat rom I think..
I've noticed when texting that if I go back to change a word (spelling check) it comes up with a pop-up with a few suggestions and also the option to add to dictionary
However suggestions also pop up in the suggestion bar above the keyboard
I would prefer to only have the suggestion bar, and to not have the pop-up at all
I have tried turning off the 'Spell checker' option in input settings but then neither show up
Is there a way to turn off the pop-up? or will installing google keyboard get rid of it?
Fourth is that I found when typing a recipient number into a new text, in 'Hellkat dark theme' the font is black on black so that you are unable to see the numbers you are typing
not a huge issue but maybe someone can let the developer know
Fifth is just that I am wondering if there is a 'lockscreen widget' (like the one for the camera) that is a dialer screen to place a call from the lockscreen
Thanks to whoever responds and I understand if you are not able to answer some of these, any help is graciously accepted
Will try to provide any additional info needed
Thanks!

P.S. pic is the spell check pop-up i'd like to remove!

did you update it thru the rom today? it popped up saying there was an update but not sure if i should mess with it since it took alot to get this thing running smooth haha
if you mean connecting to the external and internal sd cards with USB thru the computer then yes thats working fine (just checked)
for now i have just disabled "spell check"
i still get suggestions above keyboard but no longer the pop-up when you select the word
unfortunately you also lose the underlining of misspelled words
added this as a lockscreen widget and it seems to work very well so far

No that works fine. But I am talking about using an Otg Adapter to plug a mouse or keyboard or flash drive into the phone . This works on certain custom romss on this phone but wasn't sure if it is an option in hellkat
