I've been looking for an app like this for a while and there are some that seem like they can but this is the solution!

it allows you to choose the keyboard you want for a specific app.
for instance I use SwiftKey. but when I use Polaris office I would prefer to use the Samsung keyboard. so now when I open Polaris the Samsung keyboard comes up when I open a different app SwiftKey opens(cause it's my default keyboard) it does it seamlessly. you can pay for the upgrade which allows for more than one app.

Sounds promising

I am looking at buying an Arc, Neo or Ray but I need Smart Dialling.
I am new to Android. Do I need to be worried about the lack of smart dialling on the Xperia or can I just download a new dialler?
If I install a new dialler then will it launch from the standard Xperia UI dialler button or will I have to launch it like an app?
Are all 3rd party Smart Diallers pretty much universal in Android or would I need to ensure I got one that worked for the Xperia? (it is a slightly odd resolution).
Anyone running the standard ROM but with a custom Dialler? Which one?
Thanks for the replies
It turns out that the above devices have text search for contacts and SMS. So even though it is oddly missing from the dialler I guess you can achieve the same result from contacts (just without the convenient hardware button).
Try Go Contacts
I have been using Go Contacts for a while and it seems to be very stable and it work really well with my arc.
There are plenty of dialer available in market. Dialer one and go dialer are my favorite.
You will have to launch it like an app. If you use go launcher..you can even assign dialer app to standard icon.

Dialer One used to be the best T9 dialler, but it's become bloated and asks for way too many permissions.
I now use dialer2, which is fast, small and works perfectly well on my Arc (as does every other app i've tried - android apps tend to be pretty resolution agnostic).
If I install a new dialler then will it launch from the standard Xperia UI dialler button or will I have to launch it like an app?

The standard Xperia button is just a shortcut which launches an app. You can easily swap out shortcuts in the dockbar in the Xperia UI just by drag&drop, so it's a piece of cake to replace it.
Once you install a 3rd party dialer, any other apps which require a dialer will cause a pop-up screen to appear asking you to choose between the Xperia's stock dialer and the new 3rd party one. You can choose one of these to be the default and that will stop the popup from recurring.
Also check out TouchPal Dialer (from the makers of TouchPal Keyboard).
Ders also angel dialer...does a pretty good job..

[Q] S-Planner "location" share / navigate. Also different "note" app tie-in
The s-planner event "location" is great, but there's no way to share the map with another app; in particular I'd like to be able to navigate to the location. Any suggestions?
Also, the "notes" only gives me s-note as an available app... I'd love to be able to use a different app, such as evernote for the note portion of the event.
I realize that a different calendar app, such as Google Calendar, might give me these sorts of options, but the "see event title on monthly/weekly view" aspect of s-planner makes it a very attractive app.
Ideas?
UPDATE: I think I figured out that the Location can use "normal" map functionality (directions, navigation, etc.) if you enter an address instead of "pin pointing" a location on the map. I would still, however, like to know if anyone has ideas for how to get away from using s-note as the only note editor for s-planner. I've also installed CalenGoo... an excellent alternative that rivals s-planner in terms of functionality, but not as easy to use.
Strange issue. I have swiftkey and thumb keyboard installed on my rooted JB. S3. If I am in a browser (only use dolphin or firefox) the keyboard will not display predictive and more importantly the double space for period doesn't work either. It does however work in any other app that I use (namely email and sms)
what's going on?

There are some fields in apps (think of like an "Email" or "Password" fields) that normally tell the keyboard to NOT use predictive text. For an example of this, go to Settings > Accounts > Add Google > Existing > and just type in whatever. Predictive text doesn't work because the app told the keyboard to disable it. Also the same way that some apps (I beleive Domino's Pizza app does this), when it comes for you to input a number (for example Credit Card #, Phone, or ZIP), they tell the keyboard to switch to the numberpad by default.
Long story short, this is as designed by Dolphin and Firefox (presumably, see above for details).
Hi Guys,
I've long used password apps on the PC that integrate with the browser/chrome to auto-fill passwords.
However I'd like to find one for my Android devices that does the same thing. All the password apps I've tried so far require you to use their own in-built mini browser if you want this functionality.
Does anyone know of a password app for Android that integrates with Chrome?
Or is it not possible for an app to have this level of integration? I would have thought it would be possible, as an input method like the keyboard apps etc...
Many thanks
Chrome by itself can remember them and synchronize with multiple devices. Just activate it in settings.

You can do this with Dolphin Browser and his Lastpass plugin.
LastPass will integrate with everything (not just Chrome), as it gives you a new keyboard that auto-fills passwords. Just install the app and when select the text-entry box for you username or password you can swipe-down on the notification bar and change your keyboard to LastPass. Hit the LastPass button on the keyboard and it will automatically fill in your username and/or password.
As I understand it, Chrome for Android doesn't have a fully functional plugin interface that will let applications build an interface like they can for Dolphin.
Anyone know how to get the Lastpass app key to show up on the native Samsung keyboard. There isn't even the ability to disable the Samsung keyboard as it is grayed out.
Another option is to install an alternative keyboard but I have not found one that supports the last passkey.
Any ideas
Lastpass has its own keyboard. If you install the app, it installs for you. All you need to do is enable it In language and input and you are good to go.
