I have just flashed over to the latest version of CM9 (Beta 12) from a MIUI.us ROM. Once thing that has been extremely irritating that I have found with ICS based ROMs (I've tried other ICS ROM as well) it's how the physical keyboard's Alt and Shift/Caps key functions.
On every other ROM I've used those keys have functioned in the exact same way. Hit Alt once, the next key you hit will be the alternate number or symbol above the main function of the key. Hit Alt twice, it locks Alt on so all the keys you hit next will be the alternate character. And you can cycle through these by hitting Alt multiple times and you see the typing cursor change with a different triangle symbol above the cursor. The Shift/Caps key works the same way, but just capitalizes the key instead of the Alt function.
On ICS ROMs the keys function completely different. If you hit the Shift/Caps key once it essentially turns Caps Lock on, making all characters I type capitals. And if I want to turn it off I have to hit it one more type, type another capital character and then it's back to normal. Along with this the symbols above the typing cursor are now gone making it difficult to know when I have caps lock on. The Alt key locks the same way.
Now I don't know if this is "working as intended" or not, but I would really like to figure out a way to revert it back to the normal, and logical, way of typing.
Something is wrong with your keyboard. Using both stock and Swiftkey X I have my keyboard behave as you originally lay out, which is the default behavior.
Which keyboard are you running? The behavior you mention is actually a bug with the new Swiftkey 3 and I opened a ticket on their site about it, but Swiftkey X works wonderfully.

I think he's talking about the hardware keyboard and not the on screen.
I think you need to reinstall and whipe your ROM because on my ICS Beta 12 eveything works as you discribed in Gingerbread ROM's
It's not normal. It normally behaves with CM9 as it ever has on every ROM I've tried, you've got a weird problem there. If it's not the keyboard bug that is mentioned in the second post, try a fresh install, or try posting in the CM9 topic, maybe someone else got that problem and knows how to fix it.

You realize that software keyboards apply to your hardware keyboard right? For instance, if you use Swift Key X it (can) actually applies auto-complete to the *hardware* keyboard. It just obviously doesn't overlay the QWERTY keys.
As I said, with SwiftKey 3 beta the behavior described in the OP is observed when using the hardware keyboard -- so the OP needs to check what keyboard he's using, because ICS stock & SwiftKey X do not cause his issue.

This was the issue, the SwiftKey 3 Beta was making my physical keyboard Alt and Shift/Caps key function incorrectly. So now I'm back to SwiftKey X and everything is working perfectly!

Worse? No way, some consider it better. It's definitely better for the DZ/G2 since it doesn't have a crippling bug that makes the hardware keyboard basically unusable.

Hi everyone, we are looking into making SwiftKey work better on devices with hard keyboards, we’ll let you know when we have more information or an ETA.
To achieve this we will ask you to give us a few more details to narrow down the problem:
- What brand and model is your device?
- What Android version are you running and is it a custom ROM or stock Android provided by the manufacturer?
Thanks

Hi,
We are working on a device which contains physical keyboard with OS version 4.0.4(ICS)(Note: looks like Blackberry bold model).
In that device *Shift Key (*KEYCODE_SHIFT_LEFT*) and *ALT key* (*KEYCODE_ALT_LEFT*)is not working.
We are getting the proper KEYCODEs when we press those buttons in PhoneWindowMAnager.java.
Now where we have to handle those keys and what exactly functionality needs to be implement when press those hard keys.
Otherwise in ICS, is already handled those keys in some other files??
Generally when we press once the SHIFT key, for eg: when I press and hold shift key after that if I press 'a'character then 'A' needs to be printed.
This kind of functionality needs to be implement for SHIFT key.
And when we press ALT key it has to be display Special Character.
Is anybody is having any idea about this...
Regards,
abhay

I've noticed that if i start typing very fast on my desire it stuffs up - Skipping some finger presses. I then did a test - i held down one key with one finger and tried to touch another key with another finger and noticed nothing happends.
Can others please check to see if they are also having this problem.

Its not a 'problem' there just isnt a multitouch keyboard. Im not sure why this is an issue since im pretty sure that apart from the essentials like shift, Ctrl etc PC keyboards arent either!
Yep, its like that on all desires. The keyboard probably uses the same code as the older non multitouch HTC's

I think the 'issue' is that on a physical keyboard you may begin to press the second key before you fully let go of the first. On a hardware keyboard the second key press takes precedence whereas the HTC keyboard doesn't always register the second key press and you have to press it again.

you dont use a touch keyboard the same way you use a normal keyboard. and yes, they do have 'multitouch', though i wouldnt refer to it as such.
The problems that the keyboards slow and very unresponsive + the space bar often doesnt work and a few letters per sentence are skipped because theres no multitouch. And most of the reviews claimed "the multitouch keyboard found on the desire is great"
Oh well, i found a keyboard on the marketplace thats multitouch
Thanks for the quick reply guys. Good to know theres nothing wrong with my phone

Is there a way to do this? I can't stand Swype... I like the predictive text of the Android keyboard (how it shows words at the top)... but for some reason my calibration seems off and I keep mistyping words.
Any alternative keyboard with the same predictive text feature of the stock android keyboard.
Why don't you just turn swype off in menu, settings, keyboard, uncheck swype.
I did turn off swype. I'm using the stock android keyboard... but the calibration seems a little off, and I'm kind of annoyed with how i'm pressing a button and it's registering the button to the left of it when I'm pretty accurate.
Just looking for an alternative that's similar to the Stock, or a calibration feature.
Try SwiftKey
Same thing is happening to me. Annoying as heck!
I know that it used to be possible to install the htc_ime even if you weren't rooted. Is there an htc_ime out there that will run on 2.2? I had one running on my CM5.0.8 G1. The HTC keyboard also has a calibration tool and was MUCH better than the standard VK.

Not sure if it'll work but you and try it. Report back.
Wow, thanks man I'll def try this.
I don't know if it's the placebo effect but it appears to be working. Before, anytime I hit the JKLMN keys and the delete key it would hit the key to the left of it.

Before you post the link to the XDA noob video, no, this isn't a question about 'how to enable autocorrect on the stock keyboard'
It's actually a question about autocorrect on the stock Samsung Keyboard.
Is there any way to force the autocorrect bar to permanently stay above the keyboard when XT9 is enabled, like the Gingerbread keyboard? When typing in, say, the Messaging app, the autocorrect bar pops up when I enter something and disappears when I hit space, making the little text entry box go up-and-down-and-up-and-down making me quite dizzy since my eyes have to bob up and down.
I would just use the gingerbread keyboard but the banding on that kb is annoying.
If it matters, GT-i9100, VR1.1, pulser_g2's KE2 multi-CSC package (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14254203#post14254203)
Thanks!
Im currently using the Gingerbread Keyboard from Marketplace, as far as im aware there is nothing at the moment that can be done to stop the autocorrection box appearing/Disappearing !
i think the samsung keyboard is rather annoying, the space bar is way too small causing me to press the . button atleast 1 in every 5 words.. annoyance !
i have been looking everywhere for a fix, nothing so far!
i hope this thread will get enough attention and the keyboard can be modded.
the only reason im not using samsung keyboard is because of this issue
OK, I just downloaded the version from the Market (the free one from Steven Lin, right?).
No banding )) but vibrate on keypress doesn't do anything.
Can you test on yours and see if vibe works?
Thanks!
X9 in settings that is what enables it. Though doesn't work on custom roms I have no idea why.
Cheers.
You mean to enable autocorrect for the stock Samsung keyboard?
Re-read my post. I have no problem enabling it, but it's the execution that is annoying.
If only I could get vibration working for the Gingerbread keyboard (the apk I got off xda works, but there's noticeable banding, while the one off the market has no banding but vibe doesn't work).

I am also using the Gingerbread Keyboard and it is 100% better, more responsive and better with predictive text than the crappy Samsung KB.
At the end of the day I got HTC_IME installed and will probably be sticking with that.
No banding, vibration works, autocorrect is great & doesn't give me a seizure. Only problem is that it crashes the Samsung Email app (but I use the stock Gmail app so it's not a problem).
Does anyone know how to get vibration working on the Market GB kb?
Thanks!

I'd recommend Thumb Keyboard or Swiftkey X Beta. both a LOT better than the Samsung KB and both offer superior prediction and customisation. Thumb has split KB and customisation too.

I tried that, since I don't use that keyboard. Mine continued to have the symbols above the letter keys, as before. I think it may have to do with the fact that the microphone and settings symbols on the key at the bottom left are opposite between the two layouts.

that symbol just shows what was used last. if you use it to go into settings it will show the gear until it is used again. Use it for voice input and it will switch to the mic. The theory is that the one tap option switches to what was used last since that is probably what you use most.
As to the op topic, I am on Jelly bomb with 'add back allshare' flashed and I don't have the symbols.
it would be interesting to have more people state their rom and if they have symbols or not.

no, the symbols are even in different places on these kb.
jellybomb was the only rom i tried that had this effect. clean rom and blazer had the full stock symbols back when i tried them.
even pulling the stock kb from a nandroid doesn't fix it. some other file/program seems to control what keyboard keys are attached to what symbols. it would be nice to find out which and be able to customize and remove symbols i never use.
thank all for your input...as far as the "mic"/"settings" symbol...that DOES change to the last selected option...if it shows the mic icon and i long press it to go into the selectable options and choose "settings"..it will them show the settings icon..
as far as my OP at least now i know...you should have seen me in the damn options trying to figure out what i was "missing"...and then it took me 25 minutes to press "submit new thread" on this because i just knew some 12 yr old was going to point me to an option i was completely over looking!!!

The OP said that he is having this problem with a rooted stock rom.
If it is like you said and some program is controlling this than it seems like a problem that could show up after time has passed, further adding confusion. My stock rom shows symbols now but what about in a few days. That would make it seem like it is a bug that samsung needs to address.
again...the 1 WITH the symbols... i took the OTA and then rooted with the "note2 tool kit"
the 1 WITHOUT the symbols..i rooted it and added TWRP and i flashed a rooted version of the OTA..i used "ROOT66_LJ1_TO_LJ6_OTA_UPDATE.ZIP...found in the link i posted previously...
otherwise the phones are stock/rooted with TWRP...I may flash back to stock on the 1 without symbols and re-root with the "note2 tool kit"..to see what happens.(when i have a chance)..
Could just be a de bloated feature, I don't mind having the main punctuation symbols associated with the period key. Just hold it for a half second and it pops up. After looking at other keyboards online is hard to want to take any cause now after having this designated number row I'm spoiled
I won't go with out. I just hope Swift key Flow has an option for designated number row whensit's released.

on a side note..i like to see this keyboard(swift key flow) delete the entire word when "backspace" or the back arrow key is pressed...thats very convenient in swype..
The symbols are missing due to an edited feature.xml, which you can find in the system/csc folder.
Pull the feature.xml from the one with the symbols and push it the the other phone set the permissions and reboot.

here's the vid link. it certainly looks a lot faster but we'll see. it looks even better for people who use multiple languages...

I hadn't even given it a chance, but i think I'm going to after seeing the video above. Also, Swype came with my G3, so I'm not really sure that it's based on Swype.

I've always used the Google keyboard because of the punctuation it provides after typing out a word. If the lg keyboard had that feature I would definitely use it!

This new keyboard seems pretty good. I think the prediction engine is from Swype that's why. I saw Swype in the terms and condition.
What do you guys think it compares swift key or the actual Swype keyboard ?

very simple to type
So as I use this lg keyboard mode and more I notice that there is a random lag that comes on. Like once in a while the keyboard would hang for a slight bit and then go back to normal.
Anyone notice this too?
Ive noticed some lag in it too. Sometimes I have to tap the empty space where you type 2 or 3 times before the keyboard pops up. That being said typing on it generally is pretty good and I like the number keys up top. So far I have no loaded up swiftkey yet.
I just want to use SwiftKey and not have the keyboard take up half of the screen

Do you also noticed lag during typing?
Cuz that is where I get random lag
I noticed some lag in the keyboard. However, after switching to ART run time I have experienced absolutely no lag in the keyboard at all. In fact, it's smoother/faster than the AOSP keyboard on my Nexus 5. I'm loving it!

I'm on art as well. The lag I get are random stutter while typing. Like sometimes it takes a bit of extra time to autocorrect the words
I can't seem to get emoji to work by typing in such keywords for the icons to display in the suggested words list above the keyboard. Any one figured out instead of pressing the emoji button all by itself?

it doesn't work yet. that's one of the things they're adding in the update.

I also hate when pressing enter sends the message out. Is there any way to turn that off? I review my message before I send it out for spelling mistakes and sometimes I press the back button but end up missing the button itself and trigger the enter key....

You can adjust the size of your keyboard with swiftkey, just hold the '123' button (has a swiftkey icon on it, also) until the context menu pops up and click resize. I think one up from smallest is the best option (though I may see if I can get used to the smallest).
Personally, I like the LG keyboard and it is an improvement over the stock on other devices; however, it doesn't compare to swift with prediction and I like the punctuation long hold key on swift. I don't like the punctuation long press key on the LG keyboard, it puts like 537 different options and you have to slide your finger below them instead of on them, otherwise you'll end up selecting the punctuation key above. Ok, maybe not 537, but way more than the 4 most common you get with swift.
