I was wondering if there were any ICS keyboard mods out there? I really like the autocorrect abilities of the stock keyboard but i hate using a keyboard that doesn't have long press alternate keys.
right now i use swiftkey x, which does both but i've had a little better luck with the autocorrect of stock keyboard. I've also occasionally experienced stutter with swiftkey that wasn't happening with the stock keyboard.
it would also be cool to have the ability to customize smilies : )

Hey there!
i am just wondering whether it is possible to set up thumb Keyboard for landscape mode and swiftkey 3 for normal mode?
For longer messages i prefer landscape and the split Keyboard of thumb Keyboard .. for shorter sms i love the predictions of swiftkey 3..
Is it possible that the phone starts the different keyboard programs depending on how you hold your HOX in your hands?
Or am I just too stupid and didnt see that there is a split Keyboard for swiftkey?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
I just saw there is a tablet version of swiftkey 3..
Dont wanna spend money though ..
Hi xda. I know there are third party keyboard apps that can do split tablet mode and small keyboard on the side for typing with one hand but I don't really like it. Is there a way to do it with the default keyboard? If not is it possible to use the nexus 10 keyboard? Has someone extracted the apk? Thank you in advance.
I just bought the Nexus 7 2013, and coming from the original Galaxy Tab (2010) the absence of hardware buttons drives me crazy because of the Navigation Bar (I hope this is the right term for it) which I dont like.
Reasons:
- I press the buttons accidentally when using the keyboard
- It is a waste of vertical screen space when in landscape mode
So is there any way to put the navbar to the right in landscape mode (like on most phones)? Like some magic build.prop hack?
I am currently on cm11 official nightlies, but changing roms or patching the source myself if necessary is an option too.
Any hints?

Its not an ideal solution, bit you can use phab7 -

Chose phone ui, and it will put them on the right in landscape. I say its not ideal because it spread's the buttons out and causes the Google now ring to be off center. Unfortunately it doesn't support tablet ui (apparently google took it out in 4.4+), but phone ui, and split menus work on KitKat.
I personality use pie controls from gravity box, and force immersive on any apps I want fullscreen with Xutilites -

So all my games/chrome/play magazines/etc. automatically go immersive, I hated having to switch it on and off all the time, so this worked for me. I also use gravity box to make the nav bar smaller, so when it is there it takes up less room. The nav bar will still pop up with the keyboard if you go this rout tho. You could disable it completely with gravity box, but you would have to really like pie controls for that lol. Gravity box -

These are all Xposed framework mods BTW, I am assuming you'd be comfortable with this since your running a custom ROM. I hate the lost pixels as well. Best of luck reclaiming the rest your screen
Thanks for the detailed reply :good:
I am very satisfied with the results with phab7.
Adding a 4th icon to the navigation bar was necessary to have them look centered again.
I am completely gapps free - so the google now problem does not apply to me
after updating stock ROM i found keyboard hides messages like i have to drag keyboard in screen to view the message which i am writing , is it fine? Can you switch back keyboard functionality just like we have in Jelly bean?
