Hi all
I love to use Swype, however I don't care much for the keyboard layout.
On swype I need to switch back and forth between the numeric/character screen and the alpha keyboard screen because their keyboard does not have numbers on same screen. You have to go to second numeric page and then flip back over to start typing again.
This is always a pain when I am typing in my passwords or something similar.
I recently tried Swiftkey and I love their keyboard (numbers up on top and basic alpha below). I don't have to keep switching back and forth to get to type in numbers then alpha then numbers etc... BUT...their swipe type technology is not good.
Swype is more forgiving on how I type and usually gets the words right when I'm zooming all over the screen...but swiftkey gives me weird and mostly wrong words. I spend more time correcting the words.
So to summarize...I still want to use Swype...but want the swiftkey keyboard layout or something very similar.
Swype keyboard themes I tried...but they are all the same...just the fonts or coloring looks different. The layout is the same.
Please help!!!
Check out touchpal x.
I have used every keyboard since the Droid x days and nothing at this time beat touchpal.
no number row needed, just swipe UP off the top letter row for numbers,
special char you swipe down into the spacebar.
Hold hold spacebar for walkie-talkie like google voice input.
swipe spacebar up like a window shade for full emoji, etc.
word detection has been improved like 1000% on the last update

Hi
Is there any software that will zoom in on a text area? For example in a text field if I want to move from the 7 character to the 3rd character to correct a mistake it's a guessing game where you click unless you use the stylus. A friend showed me his IPhone and his will put a magnifying glass over the text area so you can move your finger left and the cursor will follow.
Searched on Google but could not find anything like what my friend had.
Thanks
ps. Could someone please change the title from [REG] to [REQ]. Thanks

i don't see any significant magnification on the i-photo you posted
i agree that it's easier if you can move the cursor by moving your finger left or right in the magnifying glass but believe me it's as easy as using the arrow keys in htc keyboard to move the cursor!No need to tap on the screen, just use the arrows to find the right spot
The problem is I don't use the HTC keyboard. I use Resco with the iskin theme and are no cursor keys with that. I agree that the HTC keyboard with it's up down left right keys is the best way to navigate a text box but for people that don't use that keyboard it makes things more difficult.
has anything new popped up with this request. I know the Droid X and Droid 2 have this feature as well. Is there anyway to port this now that more and more android devices are getting this? Is it even possible to port something like this to the Droid 1?
the xperias used to have this... but they removed it with Android 8
Hey guys Ive been searching everywhere for this I think the main reason I cant find what Im looking for is because I dont know what its called. Im looking for a keyboard apk that I can install on my epic, I want a keyboard that has T9 but I want the phone keyboard like the 1-9 buttons with three letters on each button. I have been searching for T9 keyboards but I am finding T9 qwerty keyboards and want just the regular phone keypad, anyone know where I can find one? I thought the evo had one but I am not sure.
-Edit
Also if I install a new keyboard it will not erase swype will it? Because I want to keep swype on here as well
Download Smart Keyboard Trial. It has
qwerty,

that middle one is exactly what im looking for! any free keyboards like that out there? How long is the trial for that one?
Trial never goes out, but every so often it promts you to buy the full version. That's why its a "trial." Not that big of a deal IMO. This is the only free keyboard I've seen that can do t9.

ah ok i see, thank you!
Touch pal has that capability also and is completely free. When it comes up in the market look for a blue circle with a hand in it and the language will be chinese next to it. Just download and make it english only in setting. It will also make the physical keyboard better with word recommendations and what not. Hope that helps

This is ridiculous lol, I thought I'd ask since I'm pretty sure swype is a system app and I can't delete any of the files associated with it. But it keeps switching to spanish on its own. Three times I switched it back to english and it's fine. Then eventually (while the phone is still on) it'll be in spanish.
Is this a bug with swype or is there some way to delete the spanish language pack without root?
There is a good chance that you are hitting this tiny little button. It switches the swype language between English and Spanish.

That functionality really should be user configurable.
Like, why do they have hot keys enabled for screen rotation by default in Windows? 99.99% of users never need it, but I get calls all the time that the screen is upside down.
it is just slide up on the language key and turn off Spanish as an available language
"Hey, where should we put this language toggle button?" "Hmmm .. let's squeeze it right between the SYM button that is used to get to numbers and the comma. People never use those two buttons."
*facepalm*

Is there a way to disable this crap? It's extremely annoying making an accidental typo and then pressing space and it adds. I have to delete 50ish words a day. Auto correct doesn't even work after 2 days because of it
Have you looked in your keyboard settings?

There is nothing of the sort within keyboard settings.
Maybe try a different one Swiftkey 3 is awesome

All the settings buttons are on the right next to the keyboard name.
Stock Samsung keyboard:
Tap on predictive text
Uncheck next word prediction.
SwiftKey 3:
Go to advance.
Tab "spacebar will"
Self explanatory.
Swype Beta:
Click on preferences.
Uncheck next word prediction.

You don't understand. I have that disabled. I want to disable the add to word dictionary thing.. it adds typos then I press space which is annoying and it adds a lot
Here is a little mod for the keyboard.
For those of you who dislike the tiny symbols on the keyboard which in my personal
opinion makes the keyboard look dirty like it has chicken scratches on the keyboard.
I have edited the "feature.xml" file so the keyboard will no longer have symbols next
to the alphabet letters.
All that needs to be done is to download this feature.xml and using a root
capable file manager / root explorer navigate to /system/csc and copy the
existing feature.xml to your sdcard just so you have a backup.
Once that's done copy this edited feature.xml file into the /system/csc folder over
writing the existing one then fix permissions in feature.xml & reboot the phone.
Here is the download link for the edited feature.xml file in case you're interested:
(please note, this is ONLY for the G928T phone variant - you MUST have root))

Need help
I just switched from an iPhone 6 to a Galaxy S6 (G920F) few days ago but I am not new with rooting and other things in android. I just have some questions and I need help.
1. How can I make the stock samsung keyboard to always show uppercase keys (like the one in the iPhone). I do not like using 3rd party keyboards. I want the stock samsung* keyboard to NOT display lowercase keys. I WANT IT TO PERMANENTLY DISPLAY UPPERCASE KEYS.
2. How can I remove the number row on the top of the stock samsung keyboard? Like the one in the S3 that does not have a number row at the top. I prefer not having the number row.
Your help would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance!
For question one, press the caps key twice really fast and it will remain all caps.
For question 2, download the Google keyboard
