Can anyone point me to a 4x3 keyboard for the Galaxy 5? Currently running CM7 (1.2) on my phone and I cant use the stock KB. screen is a bit small for me and how I use it. Would be good if it had T9 too.
stock samsung KB would be nice but idk how to get it.
Thanks,
Azure

The OP is running Cyanogenmod, unfortunately there's no 4x3 keyboard available.
OP there's an app on the Android market called 'Smart Keyboard Pro'. It costs €1.99 (Maybe $3 or thereabouts) and it has the option to select the 4x3 keyboard. It also has T9.
They do have a 'Smart Keyboard Trial' that you can download for free, just to give it a go.
The app is compatible with the Galaxy 5.

Is it possible to theme/skin the Samsung keyboard? I haven't come across any.
Or the default android keyboard on here. I know I've seen all black android keyboards when I was using the mt3g but with the resolution and stuff I'm not sure if it works on Vibrant?
Sorry if this should've been in the themes thread but I figured since it's a question...

Smart Keyboard ftmfw. Well worth the $2.50, try the Lite :thumbup:
(Just a user, I have no association with the dev, it's just the first app I've really been able to fly on)
Thanks but that wasn't my question

It is possible. There's an app that I've seen, I believe it's 3 dollars with free downloadable skins in the market. It's called Better Keyboard, can't find a QR code right now.
Again...this isn't what I'm looking for. I'm looking for the stock SAMSUNG keyboard that is skinned. NOT a 3rd party keyboard. Or the stock android keyboard that is skinned/themed.
I have other keyboards such as better, swiftkey, smart, swype etc. But this is not what I'm looking for.

This I believe answers your original question.
I reckon I read your question right, here's the real answer...
On my OEM Samsung S8+ running Android 9.0, which has had no network provider tinkering of any kind, just current updates as Samsung intended.
Here you'll find all the things you can do with the Standard Samsung Keyboard including change theme colour. 7 Easy to follow steps below...
1> Swipe down from the top of the home screen
2> tap on the settings cog icon
3> select General Management
4> select Language and Input
5> select On-Screen Keyboard
6> Select Samsung Keyboard
7> Select Keyboard Layout and Feedback
Is it possible to install Swype keyboard on CM7 touchpad & if so how do I do it?
I am using Flex T9 keyboard which incorporates "swyping" and it works great.
Thanks I will try that... Though I would prefer genuine Swype just cause used to using that one on my Samsung Epic.
The TouchPad's screen resolution is not compatible with Swype.
Another alternative would be SlideIt.
It will work if you do what I mention in this posting. However, cannot distribute the apk, because swype requests you do not.

TBO, SlideIT keyboard works much better anyway. You dont have to loop for double letters, and it seems to be a lot more accurate. Works right out of the box, no hacks needed.

The biggest problem with SlideIT is that there isn't a way to switch from SlideIT to a different keyboard easily. Since I use ConnectBot, that makes SlideIT too much of a pain to use.

Most keyboards have a button to bring up the "Input options" menu, which contains an option to switch input methods. SlideIT does not.
Download a keyboard, mostly all of them have Swype and customizable backgrounds and everything!
I have the GO keyboard. It's got Swype!!!
I'm having trouble getting it working to be honest :/
The GO Keyboard? It took some fooling around with, but I finally go it perfect.

Long press on any text input box and select "Input options." Select your favorite keyboard and continue typing.

I just downloaded the GO keyboard, but I don't see the option to turn on the swype functionality. Where is it located in the settings?

This isn't true, I had it included in my earlier releases of XRONified but since it isn't included with the Touchpad, the mods asked I take it out.
It worked just fine too....
Don't know that I could use swype on my TP. It's a little large. I am doing great with thumb keyboard.
I will be looking into this! Thanks!
Could someone please explain to me if Swype is coming out for the SGS3. I know Samsung has built in most of Swypes settings into the standard Samsung keyboard setting, but there are quite a few changes that are really not as good as using this keyboard on the SGS2. For example, a long hold of backspace would delete the last word - now it is a time oriented press. If you type a word then tap on it after typing to change it to one of the other suggested words, the suggested words no longer appear.
Any ideas?
http://jbthemes.com/djdarkknight/daswypethemes/
Download any of those.
The samsung keyboard on the SGS3 has an option to allow swipe!
It has swype built in.
I know it is inbuilt but the inbuilt is nowhere near as good as the Swype that was on my SGS2, hence the questions.
Will try a theme, thanks!
Thank you for the link, but all of those don't seem to display properly on the SGS3 - they seem to only take up half the allocated space for a keyboard? Any alternatives?
Try to find swype for Galaxy Note. I am not allowed to post here but it shouldn't be a problem.
Yes the inbuild its not even close to swype.
Normally on my devices I use Swiftkey/Swiftkey Tablet for my devices (Galaxy Nexus and ASUS Infinity). But on the N10 I prefer the new Google keyboard with its swiping. I wish it had the better predictions of Swiftkey though... I bet Swiftkey Flow will be the best if both (also I think the Google keyboard is better proportioned for the N10.
What is everyone using?

Thumb Keyboard 4, in 10" tablet mode with some custom tweaks is my favorite by far. In 10" mode it is a split keyboard in both portrait and landscape, with a number pad and commonly used characters/punctuation in the middle (as well as long-press numbers).
Swiftkey Tablet is ok but a bit ugly IMO and lacks the customization features I've grown to love in Thumb KB. I don't use prediction that often so there goes a big benefit of using Swiftkey in the first place.
And I've never ever liked and never ever will like gesture keyboards, so the stock KB was turned off almost as soon as the device booted.
Swiftkey 3 Tablet is the best in my opinion.
Can't use a regular keyboard on an N10 due to the size of the screen and with SK3 it's easy to type with my thumbs in landscape mode.
You have the ability to switch to regular qwerty format if you wanted to.
Thumb Keyboard! The prediction / auto correction is flawless.
The customization is really nice...lots of theme / sound / haptic feedback combos to choose from.

Under the Keyboard's Advanced Settings, you'll want to create a Custom input style (I use English (US) with PC Layout). Save it, and then set it as the default input language (may have to deselect "Use system language", then select the PC layout input, and then deselect any other Active Input Methods)
Main: SwiftKey
Secondary: Swype
Fun sometimes: FloatnSplit

I am a thumb keyboard fan. Very customizable. Swiftkey predictions were way off base whacky for me and size of keys was not customizable enough for my small hands. You can customize height, but not width, so using split keyboard in landscape mode didn't work well for me. Couldn't reach many of the keys easily. Thumb keyboard lets me customize both aspects, among many other things.

Hey,
does someone knows an alternative to swipeselection for android and with german keyboard layout???
also for thisr how dont know, swipeselection is a cydia tweak for ios devives, it allows to move the cursor over swiping with one finger over the keyboard, if u swipe right the cursor goes right if left tgen left.
this tweak is good when you misstype and u dont want to tip the position where u want the cursor should be!!
ive loaded swipeselection from playsrore but i dont like it, and ive tried the app "tyype" but its also rubbish and in english, last but not least ive tried flat keyboard and its the best, but sadly it has no german layout
do you know any other swipe selection keyboards??
Swype
SwiftKey
Fleksy
TouchPal
Stock AOSP keyboard
All of those have swipe functionality and support German. I don't use German though, so can't say how well they work. My personal preference in English anyway is SwiftKey.
Ya
All the above work well
I use TouchPal though
Press thanks :good: if I've helped :highfive:

Port xperia z1s keyboard
Gesendet von meinem Xperia SP
Just found out about this awesome iOS Cydia tweak. This sounds amazing. Is there really no Android equivalent of this?
That is disappointing.
I found some:
SwipeSelection Keyboard
This one looked interesting at first, but then I discovered that its layout was poor for quick typing.
tyype
This one a little bit different, it has a bottom bar for swiping but to select text rather than moving the cursor. The bar can be used to prevent accidentally pressing the capacitive button for some devices, not so useful for me.
Quick Keyboard Việt also supports swipe selection, it's good
The popular "Multiling Keyboard" handles this a bit differently, it employs an anternative way which use vol buttons for moving back and forth. The plus is supporting all languages.
I made an account just so I could post this info for anybody interested. On my Galaxy S5, you can go into the settings for the default Samsung keyboard, and change the swipe settings from "Swiftkey Flow" (swype-style swiping) to "Cursor Control" which allows you to swipe across the keyboard to control the cursor like in the swipe selection tweak. As far as I can tell, the only functionality is to move the cursor, you can't select text like in the iOS tweak. It's not as smooth, but it at least allows you to still maintain all the functionality of the default keyboard while adding an ability to move the cursor.
This feature may only be available on the Galaxy S5, I'm not sure if it's available on the SwiftKey keyboard (which the samsung keyboard is based on).
This was helpful. Thanks. The original swipeselection is quit better than the iphone version.!
