One of the most disappointing things about the JB upgrade is the fact that HTC changed his IME keyboard, adding useless arrow keys and removing the key to close the keyboard, forcing the user to use the back hardware button.
I've searched on the forums, and it seems that others had my same problem, but I'm worried that the fixing tecniques they used can't be ported on JB, or on the Desire X.

Is there any way to revert to the old ICS IME keyboard, or at least some way to mod the current one?
Why do you post a thread for ICS HTC_IME mod for JellyBean ??

The mod that you refer to is meant for ICS keyboard only. It can't be ported to JB
On ICS keyboard for One X, there are arrows which can't be disabled thru settings, in JB you can disable arrows.

Ok, now we're getting somewhere...
I've seen the option that allows you to hide the arrows in portrait mode, what I need is something that removes the arrows in landscape mode.
Anyone?
Is there a way to do what I ask, maybe, I don't know, use the old keyboard APK on JB?
another keyboards (swiftkey ftw!) has optional arrows, can be disabled in them, but tweaked stock one will take time i think

Does anyone have a working keyboard like the one in CM6 for MT4G? I tried installing the one from the nightlies, and it installs fine. However it fc's every time I try to type.
Thanks in advance!
why would u need it? the HTC keyboard that comes with it is better. I didnt like the swype one. So i switched.
Where can you change the keyboard on the phone? My phone is stock.
thank you

I hate swype as well as the touch keyboard. Its all all about personal preference and I prefer the stock 2.2 keyboard

hold down when entering text until input method appears and switch in there
I'm going to second this request; I would rather have the stock android keyboard than the HTC touch input. Personal preference.

Just in case people are missing ICS like keyboard,
tryout THUMB Keyboard https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beansoft.keyboardplus&hl=en (i think has a trial too)
Paid but a FANTASTIC split keyboard with very flexible customizable options &themes:good:
Split thing works very good in landscape mode(esp. when you don't have very long thumbs)
P.S.just in case, i am in no way affiliated to them.
It looks good. will try it.

I used both ICS and JB keyboards but none supports swype typing on HTC flyer the way stock keyboard does. Further, funnily none keyboard provides number key line on top of regular text keys hence ICS/JB keyboards were useless without these two features. Why cannot these developers create option to use 7 inch screen to fullest by adding one more line so that users dont need to keep shifting for typing numbers.
?

Hello!
Sadly I cannot post in the development area. Because of this I have to ask my question in this area.
I have installed the ROM mentioned in the title. The hardware keyboard is "QWERTY". As I am from Germany I would prefer "QWERTZ" layout. Is there a possibility to change it?
Kind regards.
Nieschinhio
Well for most people i think QWERTY is better, but search on Google
Maybe you did not understand my question. The keyboard is "QWERTZ", but when I press the "z" it prints a "y", et vice versa.
try installing a new user language in the options
I tried all options. But there is no option for the keyboard layout of hw keyboard in ics. Do I miss something? Or is there an .apk to install?

That's the ICS problem.
It is ported from Ray or Arc or Neo V, neither of these has physical keyboard, so no settings also for changing that. Needs to be edited by developers themselves.
That is what I expected. Thank you!
Hopefully the devs will add it.
Currently I'm running the jellybam rom and was wondering if there were any mods or apps or options I'm missing to change the qwerty keypad in portrait to a t9 style keypad like in sense roms. I've noticed most senseless roms are missing this option and I'm old school and prefer the t9 myself. any help is appreciated thanks

Old school indeed holy sheet of paper. Maybe you should search t9 in play store found a keyboard there just fine. Perfect keyboard free.

The stock Sense 3.6 keyboard doesn't have arrows but you can get a "replica" 4.0 keyboard that does from this post. You will need root to install it.
