I've been hoping for something like Swype for a while, and now with the 3.25 beta it works on my A43. Now, if only it had a hexagonal ATOMIK layout instead of that silly QWERTY one! (But there are patent issues with the ATOMIK layout.)
Yeah, it also works on the 101 now.
Only problem:
The language settings don't show all languages that are listed as supported in the offical resoulution / language table.
As an example, German is missing. (Don't know about all others)

I have swype on my HTC Legend phone.
I think swype on a A101 is difficult.
I use the multiling-keyboard which has 'big' keys for easy touch.
hmmm
im not really a fan of swype
ive downloaded flex t9 and i use that on all my devices
it does have swype like abilities but i feel its better
just my opinion
I used swipe but found swiftkey better for me. Use on both SGS & 101
Just intalled it on my 101... REALLY liking this new version (wasn't a big fan of the older version).
Is it supposed to be centered like that and not taking up the whole screen, or is that just a problem on our devices?
Either way, seems to be working very welll!
Using thumb keyboard loving it

Yes, German is missing. Strangely some people in German forums got it working anyway. Don't know how they did it.
How do I change this from English? It's the default language and there are no other options to choose. I want to use Simplified Chinese with Pinyin input on the keyboard. The soft keyboard works fine, only the hardware keyboard has this problem.
I'd like to know it too. I'm using a DZ with stock rom and spanish hw keyboard, but I have only bthe english layout...
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Well, this worked fine in my Windows Mobile phone. I could switch back and forth from English to Chinese on both soft or hard keyboards. But from reading around, I seem to find that the keyboard is locked to one language. What a dumb idea. Yet another stupid problem with my phone that shouldn't be a problem.
I'm using GO keyboard from the android market. You're able to download multiple language packs as well and Pinyin is working fine for me even on the physical keyboard.
Thanks for the advice, it works great. A bit of trouble to get Chinese working correctly, but it's fine now.
Glad to help. =D
Other keyboards that support language change via hardware keyboard are Smart Keyboard Pro and AnySoftKeyboard.
Hi.
I've made this thread due to alot of posts (including my own) asking for Samsung Keyboard for AOSP/AOKP, since it's to possible to use on these ROMs.
I wanted to make a GUIDE to help find the best alternatives to the Samsung Keyboard or other stock keyboards in general. My own reason to want the Samsung Keykoard is only due to layout + T9 Dictionary in my native language, Danish.
I hope that most people afterwards can make find a better alternative, that can be installed on to their custom rom as a apk or though Play.
If you got a a favorite keyboard, then please post or pm me, then I will add it to the list. Please provide download url aswell.
Keyboards tried and tested untill now:
Swift keyboard is definitely the best. It's word-guessing is incredible and it only costs 2-3$... Very satisfied so far
AI Keyboard - Nice, but doesn't support danish dictionary.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5haXR5cGUuYW5kcm9pZCJd)
MultiLing Keyboard is nice, but it seems a bit weird with word-guessing.
Found free on market. And there is alot of dictionaries to download aswell.
iPhone keyboard has poor word-guessing in my native language (danish)
I will keep this thread updated when I try out more and get feedback from you guys.
SwiftKey 3 beta, best I ever tried
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
+1 on A.I keyboard, love it.
iPhone Keyboard, so far the best keyboard i used on android, installs through market.
Different Keyboards as well!!
There is so much to change and play with.
Do other keyboards support Swype?
Hello,
Samsung keyboard default doesn't support Japanese IME on Galaxy Note 2 N7100 so I wonder if I can install addition pack or flash a cook ROM to make the Jap IME available ?
I know I can install another keyboard which supports Jap but I don't like it because it's inconvenient for switching keyboard every time.
Thank you.

Japanese has its own stock samsung keyboard separate from the Regular Stock keyboard. You'll need to get that apk and then get the necessary libs for it. Its annoying thats for sure.

If you haven't tried ATOK お試し版, it might be worth it even if you have to switch keyboard from time to time. You can take the trial for a spin.
There are a few other keyboards in my sig, to consider and play around with.

I'm not sure if all of them are actually necessary or not, but that's what got iWNN (called "Samsung Japanese Keypad" in the UI) and MazeC (for handwriting) working on my US (TMobile) Note2. The voice recognition will fail with a SIM card error unless you have a Docomo SIM (so go into the settings and change voice input to Google Voice - I'm not sure how well that works), and I don't think this gets emoji working (it probably wouldn't work anyway outside Japan).
The process to get them was a bit involved. I had to untar the tar file, then run sim2img on the system.img and cache.img... then after mounting both, in the cache partition, there is a file recovery/sec_csc.zip. Most of the files I listed above are in the system partition, but the rest need to be extracted from that zip file. Then you can put them in place with a root file manager or adb.... If that sounds like too much work, maybe I can zip the the files up (not a flashable zip) and post them here.
Besides that, I'm a bit surprised by the lack of integration compared to the built in keyboard, especially with the multiwindow (it doesn't detach like the builtin keyboard). Also, you'll have to switch back to the "Samsung Keyboard" to get the sliding input or decent English handwriting recognition. So, I'm not sure if I actually missed anything and it or maybe that's just how it works.
The theming/colors also won't match what you see in the videos - it's more gray like the default keyboard on US Note2, while it appears to be blue in the youtube videos I found.
Thank you for your hard work in testing and posting here but I am afraid that's not what I am looking for, I need the Japanese IME integrated right into Samsung Keyboard then I can just slide to change the IME right away without needing effort to switch keyboards. For that mazec Japanese handwriting we can just purchase from Google Play if needed, no need to flash the JAP ROM.
Moreover, I tested Mazec's trial version. Mazec handwriting is good, but IMO it's not as good as the handwriting of Samsung keyboard compared to what I've been using with English and Chinese handwriting.
But anyway, I really appreciate your kindness in testing and reporting :good:.

Basically you can't integrate Japanese into the stock Samsung keyboard, at least not yet. It seems to have a different IME on all phones, at least in my experience.
If/when Swiftkey add Japanese to their language packs then it might get added to the Samsung Keyboard as well.
If you want all your languages in one keyboard you'll have to resort to using Swype or Smart Keyboard Pro.

Why does when Swiftkey add Japanese to their language packs then it might get added to the Samsung Keyboard as well ? These apps are made by the same developer ?
Yes, I am using Swype but the reason I love Samsung keyboard more because their handwriting is the best one IMO.
The current Samsung keyboard uses the swiftkey api/dictionaries/prediction engines whatever they call it I believe.
And swiftkey doesn't have a Japanese input method yet. So I guess I'm making the assumption that when that gets updated then you'll see Japanese added for the Samsung keyboard too.

Just notice that you're from Japan. So could you tell which keyboard app you're using to type and handwrite Japanese ?
Honestly I don't do much handwriting as my character drawing is terrible! As regards keyboards try what has been recommended. I use either the stock Samsung Japanese keyboard or swype for ease of switching when typing.

Add Japanese locale?
I too have a Galaxy Note 2 and I'm bemoaning the lack of Asian languages on it.
I'm not bothered by having to install a third party Japanese IME as I don't type in Japanese much. What I really want is to be able to switch the device language to Japanese (and/or Korean actually) just as I can switch it to French etc, for testing purposes. I'm not even that bothered about whether a few glitches and so on happen; I just want to be able to test application localization on one device!
Is there a way to make the 7100 act as if it's Japanese, such that apps use jp resources and so on?
For localization, I think you are looking for "Language Enabler" ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wanam ), which should work on any (rooted) Samsung device. Just open it up, select the languages you want, save and reboot.
Although Korean was in the default list on my phone.

It enables just those in system language but still doesn't have input method of languages.
Stock to AOSP
Has this been tried on a non-stock rom?
I assume you are working with a stock Samsung rom and taking the files from the Japanese rom into the english version, but I may be wrong.
I would like to explore the possibility of doing this from a stock-japanese to an AOSP or cyanogenmod.
What METHOD did you use to identify these files? It would be of great help. I seriously want to use the mazec that came with my original rom into this cyanogenmod that I am using.
Thanks~~

I'm hoping for an answer to this too. I'm using Assassin ROM and would like to get the Stock Japanese Keyboard and Mazec Handwriting on my Note 2. I wasn't able to crack open the pure stock Docomo image I found online, but I was able to extract most of those files from a zip that Robobob1221 pointed me to. I can't find 3 of the apks in yubimusubi's list:
system/app/DcmVoiceSearch.apk
system/app/DcmVoiceEditor.apk
system/app/DcmVoiceRecognition.apk
I'll see for myself soon enough, but wondering if anyone knows up front whether those files are necessary.
Seems most of the files from yubimusubi's post may not be completely necessary, but that may still be a bit premature to say.
I've only copied the fonts, VODB folders, Maruberi, iWnnIME_T0, Mazec apks and the following lib files to my system directory:
system/lib/libiwnn.so
system/lib/libmazecdict.so
system/lib/libMazecJpnDic.so
system/lib/libMazecRecJpnDicA.so
system/lib/libMazecRecJpnDicB.so
system/lib/libMazecRecJpnDicC.so
system/lib/libMazecRecJpnDicD.so
system/lib/libMazecRecognizer.so
So far, Mazec handwriting works (!!), the English keyboard of the Samsung Japanese Keyboard works, numbers keyboard works, and symbols/emoticons work. The only problem I'm having now is getting the Japanese part of the keyboard to work. When I press a key, the keyboard freezes. Gonna try and figure out which of the other libs might help.
But so far it seems that the voiceeditor.so files aren't necessary. But then again, I don't use voice recognition or anything, so I'm not sure.
UPDATE: I didn't want to hijack the thread, so I started one here. I managed to get the hiragana and katakana input working, but I seem to have broken the ability to change kana to kanji and now the kanji. Everything seems to work fine! If you're interested in what files I used, please check the other thread.
Hello. i am posting here, in desperation for not being able to find a working T9 keyboard. I used smart keyboard pro, which used to work wonderfully on my HTC HD2. Now i have a Galaxy s2, and with the stock rom it didn't work properly. I type very fast, and the program is not able to "detect all the keypresses accurately?" and i cannot write correctly. I installed Android 4.4/CM 11 AOKP (Pound rom) and still the problem resides. I tried so far:
-perfect keyboard, both free and pro
-black bolts keyboard
-super keyboard
-smart keyboard pro
-sony experia z1 keyboard (couldn't even open it. force closes, instantly)
I just wanted an old school Compact T9 keyboard, with Portuguese dictionary. Seems pretty simple, but it's becoming a burden to find one that works! Anything of help would be appreciated...
I've been using swiftkey for many many years, it works really well and builds its dictionary using your email, facebook, sms and twitter vocabulary. Try it, I think you'll love it.
See ya!
thanks for replying. But since when is swiftkey a compact T9?
still looking for an alternative.. help anyone?
Problem solved. Touch pal x keyboard works like a charm with full t9 working. This thread can be closed
