I've just started to use a jailbreak tweak for the iPad based on this concept video and it works very well:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGQTaHGQ04Q
Here's the actual tweak in action:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6h2yrBK7MAY
I've used several different android keyboards but not come across this feature. If it already exists, please let me know.
My main Android keyboard is Touchpal and though I prefer Swiftkey's prediction engine, I always end up going back to Touchpal. Taping the cog icon in the centre of the top row replaces the keyboard with a dedicated selection pad/screen which allows for very granular selection but is a very slow method for selecting text.
A mod that could add the functionality in the video to the stock keyboard would be great. What would be awesome is if it also worked with all the main keyboards (Touchpal, Go Keyboard, Swiftkey, Swype etc.).
Thanks for looking.

I used an Omnia, and Paul over at Modaco has created a program that will switch your SIP based on your phones orientation. Ex, I use T9 Phone Pad in portrait, and when I switch to landscape it automatically pulls up the full keyboard. However, he only has the ability to select the stock samsung keyboards. He posted the source (although it's the version that didn't include switching to landcape) here: http://www.modaco.com/content/i9x0-...asip-omnia-default-sip-changer-new-version-2/
I did search and couldn't find anything that would already allow me to do this, but perhaps I missed it. If an app already exists, can someone point me in the right direction? If not, these seems like something useful if someone could develop this. I like to use Touchpal in portrait, but in landscape on my small screen the keys are just too small, where I like to use a different keyboard. Instead of having to switch to this keyboard every time I switch to landscape, I thought an app that did this would be handy. Thanks.
Hey there guys, I have been on the hunt for the Best Android Keyboad, and I wanted to see what everyone here was using?? I have tried stock, predictive, and the slide type, (I have not had the chance to play with any of the other 3rd party keyboards, with all sorts of different technology's.
So, I was wondering if some of you fellow xda-ers wanted to weight in on this, and help guide me on my adventure??
Thanks in advance :cool

swype for normal language but my most preferred is hackers keyboard. latter has a full keyboard like on pc when in landscape mode. pretty awesome on big screens like galaxy note. also almost every keyboard has the stupid white text entry over the entire remaining screen where there is not the keyboard, which hides my chat windows away and makes landscape a pain. hackers keyboard does not do such. you have keyboard and chatlog.
I like Android 4.2's stock keyboard. It has everything you need. Predictive text, spell-checking, gesture typing, multiple finger gesture typing. I use English Azerty, and it is just great for me!
Swype, until I get 4.2

Swype, although the 4.2 keyboard's implementation of this looks nice. I also like Hacker's Keyboard on my tablet which is just a PC looking keyboard layout. If they could implement a Swype functionality with it then it would be my favorite.
Swiftkey 3 is my Favourite.
Simply because
1)It is more intuitive than the rest, thus producing more CORRECT Auto Correction
2)It learns your way of typing and in real time monitors all that you type and maintains your individual statistics
3)It individually Learns from your fb,sms,email and twitter threads.
4)It also provides a good number of visual customization options
Thus overall it proves to be the best package

Thanx guys for the input, and all the great info I find ShayonX, IMO, as to swiftkey 3, and as far as "prediction boards", go I think there is no better. I was actually going to go with swiftkey 3, but I just found it was lacking on skins, and customization. I like to be able 2 change the size, and width of my characters, (due to wide fingers), and skins are a great Addition
I tried Swift key 3, touchpal keyboard, go keyboard, and perfect keyboard, and ended up going with "perfect keyboard, bcuz the customization is very deatailed. I also tried swype style keyboard, but I found predictive to be the style for me.
I am running the Moto Phonton, so I won't be getting the 4.0 or 4.2 update, so is there anything else out there to look @??

I just downloaded flashed and booted.... I'm on clean 4.5
Am I just late to the party and everybody already has this....my speed on the keyboard is at least twice as fast with autocorrect.
Seriously people....DO THIS MOD!
Yeah, you are like 2 months behind
Great workaround!
The problem I've run into this mod is that adding autocorrect to the stock Samsung keyboard doesn't allow you to add words to the dictionary. If the keyboard decides to autocorrect something, that's pretty much it. Backspacing won't revert to your original spelling.
For example, it won't let you type iPhone. It autocorrects it to "I Phone" and won't let you do anything else.
Fortunately I found this awesome mod. It allows you to use whatever keyboard you want for typing. But also allows you to set up which keyboard to use when the sPen is detected.
I've set up JB AOSP keyboard as my default. But when I remove my sPen, the stock Samsung keyboard automatically pops up in handwriting mode.
Enjoy!

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:
No one of these apps has the funftiion im searching for !!

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.!

I want to switch the default honor keyboard what do you guys prefer to use? Can you post screenshot also? Thanks ?
I use Xperia keyboard
SwiftKey has been my default keyboard for years. It is able to load 3 languages simultaneously, learn and saves the words and predicts the next words based on your typing history. Whenever I change phone or did a reset, I just have to log in to my account and get all my previous typing history without the need for the app to relearn it again. For example, when I type in my office address, after I put in the company name it straight away suggests the address, I just need to select it in the prediction/suggestion bar no need to retype.

AnySoftKeyboard as it is quite customizable
Gboard is coolest one.
