How do I get T9 on the stock dialer on Jelly Bean?
Why does Android always leave out T9 dialing? It is the most useful feature on the dialer? Pure stupidity.
At this point, I'm assuming that they leave it out for legal reasons- T9 is probably patented by Apple or something... Right?
theres also no T9 dialer on ICS, at least on stock ICS, it was implemented by someone else
You'll have to download an external app from the Play Store to get this functionality.
It would be nice, but doesn't everyone just use quick shortcuts? Or type the name into the Google search bar which searches contacts too? That's likely why they don't implement t9 search.

or use voice search. "Call Annie at her Home" is much more convenient

Talking to your phone is not always the most convenient this to do. Especially if there is background noise.

Yes, but why would one be making a call if there was too much background noise? :screwy:

android never had a T9 dialer unless it was a custom one from Samsung or HTC or other.
The ICS dialer is just a custom stock dialer with the functionality injected. Works like a champ though and sorely missed.

That's a fantastic way to do it. If you only have 20 numbers in your phone book. Try having 500+, and you'll get about 25% success rate with voice dialing.
Most of the time, voice dialing isn't even close. I had way more success under ICS. I've noticed that although the voice on the phone pronounces mobile as "Mo-bill" if you say it that way, it thinks you're saying "home". Ugh.
I hated using 3rd party programs in the past on my HTC hero and Xperia X10, but I suppose phones were much slower back then.
Dialer One seemed to be the fastest and pretty lean on resources back when I used it. I'll probably try it again if I can't find a ripped stock dialer with T9 functionality injected into it.
I'm at work and, to be honest, just plain lazy at the moment, but has anyone tried to pull the phone.apk from an ICS rom that has t9 on it? Believe thats where it is stored. Idk if the framework will be so different as to not allow that to work on JB, but nothing a good nandroid couldn't fix if it doesn't work. Just a suggestion.

Looks like the ICS keyboard is ready for downloading and installing.
Just install like a normal apk. Then go to settings < language and keyboard < and check ice cream sandwich keyboard. Then long press any text field and press input method and press on ice cream sandwich keyboard.

Lol, he/she was probably overly excited about the ICS keyboard that he/she didn't care what forum he/she was getting into.
So far I'm liking it, I never used the gingerbread keyboard though. I just stuck to the froyo keyboard.
I actually really like it on my Nexus. Its the first stock keyboard I didn't immediately ditch. I think the spell correct and word prediction works really well. Still using it on that phone. Gonna check it out. Thanks

Probably the best android keyboard I've used.
actually getting the same FC as the Gb keyboard. if you type to fast it seems it causes it to force close.
I wonder if this is just a themed GB kb.....

I used to get the fc with the gingerbread keyboard and I wasn't themed.
Probably some Samsung app causing the issue.

I didnt have haptic at first either. It's because it's set to 0ms by default in the advanced settings. go in there and change it to something higher and it will work(I have mine at 35ms which is the default for thumb keyboard)
Has anyone noticed it wont capitalize i to "I" automatically? it will if it's at the start of the sentence obviously but in the middle it's leaving it lower case for me.
Can somebody please make an APK allowing installing the GB keyboard alongside the ICS one?
With all due respect- the ICS stock keyboard sucks. The GB stock keyboard was awesome!
Please help!!!
Just download it from the market.
EXT LTE Galaxy Nexus - 4.0.4
Asus Transformer - ICS
Actually, I extracted the LatinIME.APK from a CyanogenMod 7 file.
Then used Root Explorer to install it.
My fear is, and I have yet to check, that installing a new nightly (which I do whenever a new one become available) will reinstall the ICS keyboard over it.
Although I could go through the process of manually reinstalling the Gingerbread keyboard, I would much rather have a solution which doesn't require that.

First and foremost- swiping the space bar in order to switch between languages.
Excellent keyboard but that of gingerbread ics remains better in my opinion!
Updates:
Switched from the KANG version to the official nightly.
My workaround seemed to work on the KANG version, but doesn't on the official nightlies.
I agree that the ICS keyboard looks better.
I would very much appreciate it if anyone could create an APK for the ICS keyboard which allows swiping the space bar in order to switch languages.
I don't really know why this feature was dropped. Maybe I just don't know how to set it up. If you do- please educate me.
Thanks!
I have no idea why ics keyboard doesn't have the swipe keyboard support for changing language input. this is a step backwards for android.
You can toggle multiple language support in the keyboard settings,Then just long press the space bar

Duh...
I don't want to long press the space bar. I want to swipe it.

Well from your original post you did say swipe but you didn't make it clear that you were aware of the long press feature,I was just trying to be helpful & being rude or a smart ass isn't helpful nor does it earn you brownie points!!!
Besides,Swiping & long pressing aren't exactly day & night.It takes maybe a millisecond more to long press than to swipe.

I was neither rude nor a smart ass.
Just to be clear- long pressing the space bar isn't enough. You need to select the language too (yet another redundant press).
I don't know about day and night, but for me the difference is noticeable.
I'm still looking for a better solution than my current one. Would very much appreciate help, wherever and whoever it comes from.

Right on,Maybe I took it the wrong way.Yeah that's true,It's definitely not ideal.What about a ICS themed GB keyboard,That way you will have the functionality you seek while maintaining the ICS look? If that sounds good I could do that for you.

there's an app for that... go to the play store and search for an app called perfect keyboard. don't remember if it costs anything but not only can you choose the 123 board as an option, you can also theme the keyboard and resize it to match your current theme. try it out!
Hey auto thanks for the reply but the screenshot that I posted foes the same thing. But I actually was trying to stay away from using a third party keyboard. Wanted yo mow if a dev could implement the number pad within the stock ics keyboard. But thanks for the suggestion though. I will try our perfect if all else fails. I used to use better keyboard with the old android but ics keyboard rocks!

I knew about that... As he said, I don't want third party apps. I am looking for something REALLY simple. A numeric keypad, just like the stock one when you open something that request it (when you're setting the time on Alarm app). Maybe a tweak to make it user openable?

Hi all,
I'm looking for a dialer apo to replace the stock dialer, since the Samsung stock one doesn't even have a proper T9 dialing option.
I have tried ExDialer, and it's really good but it doesn't show Facebook profile pics in the dialer.
Does anyone know of any better dialer apps that are fast and functional?
Thanks.

Its just like another fb or whatsapp account. It also syncs high res images which is nice and in the options you can choose to have htc style notes on your google account contacts so that when you do a full wipe and re sync it remembers the linked contacts.

I have used almost all the available dialers and to date found the Ex dialer to be the most user friedly one with good themes as well. Its a matter of personal preference too. For someone like me the main thing is not to have to stretch my thumb to the top of the screen to press buttons specially in S3 which is bigger. All the relevent common buttons are in the lower field. Even the search button of the contacts in ex. Go dialer is also very good but for me cannot beat the Ex dialer.
If helpful ...press thanks

I don't think it syncs contact numbers. Only pictures. For me, thats what was important as I have telephone numbers on my Google contact list for most of my fb contacts. And it syncs status updates as well. So if you click on a contacts update in hax sync it takes you directly to the contacts page on the facebook app in your phone. I have disabled contact sync on my fb phone app.

I'm sorry if this has been posted before...But
I'm using the Sprint Galaxy SIII and for 2 days I've been searching and trying different keyboards looking for one comparable to the keyboard in cm 10.1. The emojis worked great on that. Since switching back to stock rooted touchwiz I haven't found anything that works as well. I've tried stock Android keyboard because that's what's everyone is saying works, but when I go to settings to add dictionary, there is no dictionary option for me to use to try to add emojis. I know someone will probably say browse the threads but I've done that for 2 days and haven't had any luck so if someone can just point me in the right direction I'd greatly appreciate it. If you've used cm 10.1 that keyboard with those emojis would be perfect.
Thanks in advance!!

Yeah, I misunderstood the question, most of the ones in the market don't receive emoji at all. I wish Swype would add it, their keyboard is pretty good, now out of beta. The MMS app gives you the emoji send/receive experience and it's super customizable.
