Does anyone know of a keyboard/mod that combines the swipe of 4.2 with the long press options (numbers above the top row, etc.) of 4.1?
I'm not talking about 3rd party apps like swype, because I want to maintain the functionality, dictionary, accuracy, and look of the stock keyboard.

I would love this
If you change the dpi to a higher one, it shows the number, so i'm guessing its a simple edit in the xml file..

for some reason on my nexus s I seer the long press number options?
Sent from my Nexus 7
found it! sort of...
In ratcav's cm10 kang it has swipe+longpress numbers. It looks like it might be in the latest gapps on goo. Not sure how to get it on "any ROM" but its a start!
I know Swift Key has the long press numbers and they just recently launched Sift Key Flow. I haven't read a single word about it but it sure sounds like Swype competitor.

Yeah, swype works great too, but the whole point of this thread is the stock keyboard look, feel, and dictionary, with both swipe and long press functionality.
There's all sorts of third party apps for keyboards, but that just don't cut the mustard . Thanks though!
Try TouchPal V5, it's free and works great!

I'm currently on the latest CM10.1 nightly, as they say, it comes correct!
I guess it has more to do with the ROM and the dpi than the gapps.

Well, this is not a solution but a workaround. It shows the numbers but in a separate row, making the keys much smaller.

Keyboard settings - HTC IME - user interface - key width adjust.
You can choose how many pixels separate each key on the keyboard. For fatter keys you want less space between keys so choose 0.

WELCOME
TO THE HTC IME KEYBOARD
FOR THE SAMSUNG GALAXY S2
For those users who have come from htcs like myself its ideal,but rather than have just a bland white htc keyboard,ive given it a bit of colour and now themed it especially for The Galaxy S2 so its more in keeping with Touchwiz and Original Samsung Roms and it doesnt matter if your rooted or not,Can be used on any S2.works on most Roms.
Highlights:
qwerty/keypad/compact qwerty
T9
User Dictionary
Multi Lang Keyboard
User Interface options including customizable key hight and width
Gestures
Custom key sounds and Vibration level
Back up keyboard and restore
Smileys
Voice Input
Updated 4/12/2011
New Ice Cream Sandwich Theme,also available in Black and White
...........
Instructions
Please read carefully when installing this Keyboard
First of all make sure you have Unknown Sources checked in Settings -> Applications
To install,use the file manager installed in your Galaxy s2 or a third party file manager like Astro File Manager then install Clicker_hi.apk and then install the apk of your chosen keyboard
To Enable the keyboard go to Settings -> Language & keyboard and select HTC_IME mod and then select,Select Input Method and select HTC_IME and the start using and enjoy
Please note that this keyboard is open source so can be cooked,There may still be a thew bugs
Sorry no arrows or custom candidate highlights just yet
Please also note that this only works for Gingerbread roms and not Ics yet as it will fc
Credits:
thanks to [email protected] for the keyboard setings mods and gIMpSTa
Great, I have 2 change requests:
1. The candidates highlights colours are still green. But they should be blue.
2. Black keys would fit more to our sgs2 than white.
ive posted up anougher option with black primary keys as for changing the candidate highlights to blue,i will need more time
Take all the time you want. No hurry

what's the difference between this and the HTC IME mod that you can theme yourself?
is this keyboard multi-touch?
can we have those blue buttons in grey instead?
I unfortunately do not get it out, did everything according to the described procedure done in under Languages & keyboard chops, but unfortunately I'm still propagated even the "old" keyboard?
Rom LeoMar75 if this helps any further and it is guilt?
Thank you in advance.
Thanks works super

ummmmmmm might not be compatible with that perticular rom
works great for me, though I don't use the default e-mail app so can't replicate the freezing.
Thanks!
What htc ime version is it? I already got one that doesnt require installation of the clicker_hi.apk or whatever its called, so just wondering if there are any differences?
thank you so much
works great
works on the Epic touch perfectly!
Same problem with stock's email app in SGS2
OMG...reminds me of my HTC years lol...
This is a great keyboard, but really need to get it working with the stock email app before its of any real use.
Keep up the good work and hopefully you will be able to sort this issue
Can you put in gray and black?
I'm guessing you can't edit this using the kitchen that the original creator has can you? Idk.

The best keyboard I have used (and I've tried a few) is the one from from the Samsung Note 2. I use it on the S3. Has anyone managed (or capable) of migrating this to the N7. I've seen the N7 keyboard with numbers on top but I can't get this to work. Thanks in advance.
I will try it, if you provide me a link to it.

No clue on the Note KB, but this is what I did to get the "PC kb" with numbers on top:
Go to Settings/Language & input and then touch the settings Sliders next to ‘Android keyboard.’ Next, touch ‘Advanced settings’ and touch ‘Custom input styles.’ It will say Deutsch and Francais, but you can ignore that. Touch ‘Add Style’ near the upper right. Then select your language and change the layout from QWERTY to ‘PC’ or one of the other styles. Now touch ‘Add’ and you’ll see your new style appear in the list. Touch ‘Enable’ and use the back key to go back to the Language & input screen.

so I'm coming from using Swype on Gingerbread and loved it.
Now that I'm using the Note 2, I've been using the Samsung Keyboard and not liking it as much, but I really like that the numbers are on the keyboard at the top without making any other presses.
Swype/Swiftkey both make you press a button to get to the numbers.
What I would like is a combination of the number keys at the top + swype style for everything else.
Any suggestions?
I think Kii Keyboard is exactly what you're looking for.
It's a new keyboard, currently in beta. But it works extremely well and the developers are improving it very frequently.
Get it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zl.inputmethod.latin
You can enable the swype features and number rows through the settings.
Enjoy!
Did I miss it or what? I couldn't find hand writing recognition.

Kii is pretty much just the 4.2 keyboard with customizations. Tried it, was nice, but nothing special.
I like the Swiftkey Flow beta myself. It was updated today with many bug fixes. Nothing like swiping out an entire sentence without lifting your finger or stylus. Working great!
Kii keyboard just updated yesterday, adding even more shortcuts to the keyboard, I would highly recommend it. It has both the swype functionality plus the number keys you are looking for. Plus I believe it's customizable user dictionary and autocorrect via space key make it leaps and bounds better than stock.

I think if you touch the Spen to the area that you want to enter the text, It will automatically enter the handwriting recognition mode. I know my device does this. I'm on chinese n7105 rom so that I can have multi window and wifi tether but I assume that most roms would have the same feature.
Please check this screenshot and notice this little text next to the letter "a"! Its making my a key not allign properly, and it NEVER goes away.. its really hard to see but i think it says "6LX". Please help me,wth is this and how do i get rid of it?
P.s. im using android revolution sense rom. Latest build. Also,im not interested in "just changing keyboard" as i like HTC keyboard and im used to it.

That is no bug...
That is supposed to be that way and it does not miss-align the keyboard.
That is the exactly as it is on EVERY HTC phone and it should be that way...
If you look at your PC's keyboard you'll see that the a is slightly offset relative to the q...

You would have to turn off all references to prediction in the keyboard settings. Or just install another keyboard from the play store

I'd download either:
SwiftKey - Best for rapid typing with great auto correct
Swype Keyboard - Great for those who enjoy using the swype/flow features in Android (not having to lift finger off to type)
Kii Keyboard (Has multipurpose keys and has a number pad which I liked) above the keyboard [BEST FOR TABLETS]
They are my 3 favorite, in that order.
Bro chill... My keyboard does to... It says ViperX+ cuz that's the Rom I'm running but its nothing
