Keep the software keyboard on screen while the hardware keyboard ls slid out? Ive asked this before, and i was told 2 things.
1: That android is supposed to do this with a long press of the menu key anywhere.
2: Smart Keyboard could do it.
Tried both, neither work. Help please.

I don't have an answer for you, but I am curious about why you need two keyboards at the same time.
No particular reason. I just really would like to do this.

Running the SkyRaider 2.2 w/vanilla theme, I downloaded the Swype Incredible .apk and installed it, set it up, and ran the tutorial. I noticed in the tutorial itself when I was tracing around the keyboard that when I was done tracing no words popped up on the bar. The only time letters would go up there is if i was using it as a regular keyboard (pecking at it, if you will). I really don't have a clue as to why it isn't working as I know many others are using it on the device. Also, I don't think that it has anything to do with the ROM I'm using because I had the same exact problem using it on 2.1 stock and unrooted. Is there a certain file that everyone else is using? I got the file link from this youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_bc3_8slDs
If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it. Even a shove in the right direction would be great.
OK, well I installed one that IS working. Now they just have to tackle the mic button
there's a swype with mic available for our phone in the apps and themes section. you should check it out. it's sweeeeet.
My epic has an app that is called keytracer.apk, does anyone know exactly what is does? I'm tempted to remove it, but I don't want to brick my phone.
Before anyone flips out- yes I visited the epic wiki on this forum, and went to apps safe to remove link. the thread publisher doesn't know what it does, so I'm hoping someone else might.
By the way I'm running froyo on a rooted Epic 4g.
Thanks, CB.
Umm idk it doesn't sound very good... I'd delete it it won't brick your phone back it up first

"Traces Keys" - but aside from a smart ass answer, I think it has to do with MultiTouch.
Keytracer.apk
This logs actions completed on your phone to be referenced in case of any catastrophic software errors on the user part. In my experience it made my phone a bit smoother when deleted. Its been on all my Samsung phones but not on any others that I recall, so it may be brand-specific.
Are u using swype keyboard. I believe so u cud c the traces of the keys ur swiping.

i absolutely love cm7 but the biggest hassle for me is it not having an enter key anymore like the old 2.2 keyboards did.
i really dislike not having the ability to use the enter key while texting, due to the fact that it helps making everything a lot more understandable like when answering several questions within one text message.
i've googled and xda-ed this problem a number of times and haven't found a solution, so would anyone else be willing to give me a heads up on this issue and if it has a fix?
i have the same problem!

any solutions how to remove smile key and back to 'enter' in messages..??
Use a different keyboard? There are other free alternatives on the market.

I can't believe I never noticed this before but my keyboard does not show up when I long press menu. Now that I think about it I don't know that I have ever tried it before in ICS. Has this functionality just been removed in ICS or is it working for anyone else? If it works for you, which ROM are you running?
BTW I am running official AOKP Milestone 6.

As far as I know it was removed when ICS came along. I've flashed a lot of ICS/ JB ROMs and none of them have that feature

Most phones with official ICS don't use the menu button anymore. So unless the dev adds that option you really wont ever have that function.

Thanks for the replies both of you. I guess it makes sense that it wouldn't have that functionality since new phones don't have the menu button anyways. I remember having to use quite often when filling out online forms in 2.2 and 2.3 but I haven't ever needed it in ics so I would guess that most websites have gotten better at pulling up the keyboard when needed.
It might be nice if devs decide to build it back in but I'm not too worried about it (and I guess no one else is either since I've never seen anything posted about it) so its probably not worth their time and effort.

Has anyone found any official word about this?? I've found several posts on sprints forums about it but no, sprint employees for this topic refuse to respond to the issue. So as I asked, has anyone seen official word? Factory resets of all forms does nothing, so does doing all updates. I first had this issue after the over the air update for the previous update before jellybean and Samsung claimed it would be fixed in the jellybean update and it still hasn't. And I do realize only Some users have this issue.
Any official word on it or any solutions to fix it would be nice that don't require root.

I would expect it to be fixed when most Samsung bugs get fixed. When you're finally fed up enough to root and find your own fix.
I wouldnt hold my breath. I'd switch to a preferred 3rd party keyboard. Swiftkey 3 is mine.
I have been on SwiftKey but it's just not the same... I miss my Samsung keyboard =/ and I've bee debating lately to root. Mind getting me a tutorial? This time I want to do a nandroid back up of my current system before hand. Like is it possible before root or what
You have been asking about autocorrect for like 4 months and I understand you. But let it go and move to another keyboard.
Had you tried using a backup of the latest keyboard version that worked for you?
EDIT(i dont read you was not rooted) forget about the old version.

Well sadly ya. I know I could fix it If I could somehow downgrade my phone to 2 updates ago when it broke and then re upgrade to this version with the working keyboard. It happened before the last update and persisted through to jb so ya

In the event u take the plunge here's the quickest method with no other changes. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36166470&postcount=2 u will need a custom recovery to backup although its not really nessessary. You can get cwm with ROM manager or twrp with goo manager. ignore the step talking about the tether app. Unless u were lookin to do that too
i'm using SWIPE on mine, stock. I had touchpal pro, then rebooted the phone and it's real SWYPE, not the samsung keyboard.. ODD, but whatever. I like it
