I downloaded the free Gingerbread keyboard from market, but found that in landscape it was cut-off by the Archos buttons. I then downloaded Steven Lin's latest source code from github, compiled it, and noticed that it doesn't have the landscape cut-off. I don't know why the version in Market is cut-off.
I then made some tweaks for myself. Two of these you can ignore: it comes with a nighmode version in red, but that's optional, and you can force the suggestions to be on even when the app requests them to be off (e.g., in search boxes), but that, too, is option. One tweak may annoy, and you can't turn it off: I added all the rest of the punctuation to what you get when you tap and hold the period and the comma. I can't do with only some punctuation on the main keyboard. Finally, I removed all language support other than English, which greatly slims down the apk.
So, all in all it's something I made for myself. But if you want it, it's here.
Thanks! It works great. The available additional punctuation is much appreciated; I always found the additional keystrokes needed annoying when using the terminal or ssh.

Yeah, the lack of a full ASCII keyboard has always been a pet peeve of mine about portable devices. I suppose not everyone sends emails that require all ASCII symbols.
It doesn't work on A70. The keyboard doesn't open.

1. Do you have "Gingerbread ARP keyboard" checked in the Keyboard settings?
2. What happens when you long tap on an input field, and then choose "Select input method"? Is it listed among the options?
By the way, I just found that the current version of the Gingerbread Keyboard in the Market works fine with landscape on my A43.

Of course, I activated the Gingerbread ARP keyboard in the settings. I chose it in the "select input method" menu.
When I tap on a textfield, the keyboard doesn't open, but at the bottom of the screen, there are ca. 2 rows of pixels, where I can see a little bit of the keyboard.
What can I do?
Interesting. There is no blank space, either?
What happens in landscape?
Does this happen with the 2.3 keyboard in the Market?

There is no white/blank space and the problem is in the landscape mode.
It happens everytime when I try to use this keyboard.
It's like the keyboard would be invisible, only the 2 rows of pixel on the bottom.
Try MultiLing Keyboard instead

Try the MultiLing Keyboard, which I've found works fine. Unfortunately the sources are not available.

Can you email me a screenshot? (My favorite way is to use adb: adb fbgrab /storage/gb.png and then adb pull /storage/gb.png.)
Is it fine in portrait?
Did you change your DPI setting? (I don't think it would make a difference, but you never know.)
The keyboard works great with my Archos 43. Thanks! I think I'll be using it from now on.

Hi All,
Just switched from S4 to the ONE. Everything is great except for one thing that I've noticed. I don't mind the stock keyboard, but I prefer Swype a lot better. I installed Swype and chose it as default keyboard, however, upon reboot, the keyboard switched back to the stock keyboard. Anyone else experiencing this? If so, how did you fix this issue and choose the default keyboard as there is no option under settings and Language and Keyboards
I also had this problem and it looks like Swype is aware of it and are looking for the fix...
In the mean time.. After the reboot, open any method of typing ( I use the txt message window to any recent contact ) and once the keyboard is displayed, pull down the bar from the top (that has the time stamp). You will see a Choose input method box. Click on it and Select the Swype - Swype + Dragon option and you are back up and running. Happy swyping.
I switched to the Google keyboard because this was annoying me about Swype. I think the Google keyboard is actually better at swiping in general... Except punctuation. I also use "*" often and it's buried on the Swype keyboard.

First select the keyboard of your choice, disable fast boot (settings, power) reboot, check that you still have the desired keyboard, enable fast boot. It should persist after that.
Does anyone know if we can access the note 8's keyboard dictionary to edit it and if so how do I get to it?
I don't see anything in settings like most keyboards.
life is better with r00t
I might be missing something too... but my biggest irritation with this tablet is its compulsive auto correct. I often find it'll change my word... So I go back and edit it, press space for the next word and damn it! It's been auto corrected again! F*ck you! Leave my spelling alone!

Samsung keyboard settings: disable Predictive Input
Hmm... but that disables predictive input entirely.
What I'm looking for, is that suggested words come up, but they aren't auto-corrected.... in other words, it leaves my spelling as is unless I actually select the suggested word.

Can't find such option in Samsung keyboard. If you are willing to switch, Swype has separate options for suggestions and autocorrect.

Swype has it's own handwriting recognition, never tested so don't know if it's better or not.
It is also possible to keep Swype as normal keyboard and Samsung handwriting for pen input - in one of the threads here someone suggested an app which automatically switches default keyboard upon pen removal, alas don't remember it's name.
Sent from my GT-N5100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I'm trying out Swype right now. Swyping is fast and accurate, and the Dragon dictation is nice, but the handwriting recognition sucks (poor recognition and predictability), IMHO. I don't find it much of a hassle to switch between it the Samsung and Google keyboards (due a glitch in the return key not working) by pulling down the the notification bar and chasing input method.

found it:
[App][Root] SPenBoardSwitcher 2 - Changing keyboards depending on the S-Pen Position:
Have you ever wanted to use a certain keyboard for normal use, and a different one for the S-Pen! This will ease your life.
- When the service is running, the pen's position is detected and the keyboard is switched to the learned or pre-defined one (depending on the mode).
- The service runs quietly and efficiently. No popups, no interventions.
- Support for starting on boot
- Service supports two modes:
Learning mode: Tries to detect the keyboard you use in each pen position, stores the detected keyboard, and uses it the next time you take your pen off, or return it to its place.
Fixed Mode: The service only uses the keyboards you chose inside the application, even if you use another keyboard for a short time, when the pen's position, the keyboard is reverted back to the ones you chose.
app in post #2, there's also donate version in Play Store
anyone able to edit user dictionary ... or import text file ... right now its learning from facebook and gmail but cannot import it by whatsapp ... software like User Dictionary manager show blank dictionary ... samsung note 2 n7100

Settings, Language and keyboard, press current keyboard, then press choose keyboards and turn TouchPal off
If it's anything like the G4, you cannot disable the default keyboard.
I hope it isn't like the G4 in that aspect.

You need to download a keyboard to turn off touchpal. Change the default keyboard then go back then you can disable it iirc.

"TouchPal with HTC Sense".
I was sad to see the Sense keyboard go. IMO it has always been king of Android keyboards. Wished I could have put it on my tablets throughout the years.
That's what I've been wondering. Is there any way we could get the Sense keyboard back on the 10?
One of the things I love most about my M7..

As you can see im using Multiling O Keyboard, which is a keyborad available in the Playstore. What do you mean by "Change the default keyboard", im allready using my custom keyboard for writing.
You turn on the keyboard back and then make it default. Then go back into where you turn on and off the keyboard then you can turn off touchpal.
Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk
I dont get what you want to show me. My current situation in detail:
1. Factory fresh HTC 10
2. I download Multiling O Keyboard
3. I enable it in the screen with the sliders.
4. I set my used keyboard to MOK, so i will start typing on with it whenever i select a text field.
5. When i select a text field i get a notification in the notification bar that lets me choose the keyboard i want to use, Touchpal and MOK being the options.
6. I try to disable Touchpal in the slider menu (which i reach by a button in the notification), but its slider is greyed out. I can disable MOK without problems, though.
Try doing it through the settings and not the slider. I don't know why it doesn't work for you, but that worked from me. Based on what you typed that the only difference. I didn't use the notification shade route.

What do you mean "through the settings and not the slider"? Touchpal isnt in the apps menu, so i cant disable it there.
I didn't access the settings through the notification shade like you did.
I did everything from the settings itself.
I tapped
Settings
Language and keyboard
Current keyboard
Choose keyboard
Turned on keyboard
Back once
Changed current keyboard
Choose keyboard
Turned off keyboards
That worked for me and I don't get anything in the notification shade because I only have 1 active keyboard.

The very first reply to your original post explains what you need to do. Go into Settings, Language & Keyboard, Current Keyboard, Choose Keyboards and then turn off Touchpal. Don't access this menu via the slider notification as you have previously stated. If Touchpal is still greyed out, try to download another keyboard temporarily and see if you then get the option.
Is there possibility to edit Touchpal files to remove top row of the keyboard? I know it is possible in iOS version by editing a config file in app directory. Has anyone tried it on android version with rooted phone?

You can do this in main TouchPal settings.

Not number row, this useless row above for word prediction with touchpal icon. It uses space.
