Z2 has a thumb/split keyboard? - Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys
I'm currently surfing the Web via Samsung Note 10.1" (old one with new firmware) and I'm kinda displeased with the thumb keyboard.
It does have a few nice features. But I prefer the prediction on my Z2 phone.
The question is: Does the Z2 Tablet have a split thumb keyboard?
Like this:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If yes, has this keyboard been ported to other Rom's yet?
And how do you like it?
Greetings

Try installing SwiftKey. It's got amazing prediction and can switch between normal and thumb mode.

oh, i didn't know Swiftkey now has a thumb mode, gonna try that. thx.

Not sure how much I like that.... The prediction sure is flawless but you can't move it totally at the bottom

The sony keyboard that comes with Z2 tablet has 3 modes:
-full
-split thumb
-mini
All of them can be movable up and down and the mini can be moved accross the screen as well

[Q] Using the X10mini Pro as BT-keyboard

I've been thinking about this thing, and tried to search around on the net, but haven't found anything yet.
Do you guys think it's possible to make the mini Pro into a bluetooth keyboard for like media centers and even other phones without HW-keyboards? I know that a BT-keyboard from ebay doesn't cost that much, but when we got a phone with HW-keyboard, touch surface and BT in the first place, why not try to make it possible?
Atleast I would love that.
Just some of my thoughts.
Greets!
I have the same idea but every app i found must install host in PC
the best of this is GRemote !
why people want to use small keyboards??? when bigs are so cheap!! after few hors it gives pain in fingure..!! so plz stop thinkin!!
and we can't use one phone's keyboard for another phone that's for sure!!

The HTC_IME Keyboard in Honeycomb is dependent on the Sense framework. There was an HTC_IME Mod keyboard released for phones which was a modded HTC keyboard but someone would have to the same for the tablet.
Bottom line, it won't be as simple as installing an apk.
the stock keyboard is difficult to use , i switched after one day of use to thumb keyboard and swift keyboard , and my opinion thumb keyboard is more useful in tablets , and ofc when i want to make some programming using my jetstream i use hacker's keyboard

The stock keyboard may be customised (Settings>Language & Input> Configure Input>Settings.
However, may I suggest a kool swype keyboard >> SwiftKey Tablet Keyboard. It reminds me of Swype on the Samsung S2

belek1979, I think it is safer to get RF keyboard than BT as there is connectivity issues some of us encounter.

[Q] How to remove stock keyboards?

Backstory: I installed thumbs keyboard (best keyboard ever, btw), and use it all the time. For some strange reason, my SGT will seemingly randomly default back to the stock Samsung keyboard. Being that I'm dangerous enough to halfway know what I am doing, I used titanium backup to freeze all keyboards except for thumbs. After a reboot, it appears that my plan worked....checking my settings shows that thumb keyboard is the only one available, and that it is selected (see screenshot).

Problem: While my keyboard seems to work for the xda app and my internet browser, it won't pull up in Friendcaster. Anyone run into this yet?
Potential solution: If I could somehow go in and replace / rename my thumbs apk where the stock keyboard should be, would this result in the thumbs keyboard being default? Any ideas how to do this?
Device: P7510 (wifi only)
ROM: Task14 full (with supercharge script installed)

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help!

How can I get the samsung keyboard layout on a custom ROM with good predictions?

I recently flashed my Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 with AOSP NeatROM (4.4.4), previously I was using the stock ROM.
Problem:
NeatROM by Sale is great, but I really missed one thing, i.e. the Samsung keyboard and the predictive text. The keyboard layout by Samsung was excellent, keys were spaced to avoid typos but the AOSP Keyboard isn't as good as that and also it also doesn't have predictive text as good as Samsung's (though people say Samsung devices use SwiftKey for text prediction). I installed Super SwiftKey for the predictive text but the keyboard layout wasn't up to the mark (I went through all the themes) and due to buttons being close typos are becoming a headache.
Requirement:
I need a keyboard similar to the Samsung keyboard (i.e. has sufficient space between the rows) but with predictive text. So a theme for SwiftKey might do or if I could get the Samsung Keyboard on my phone on the current custom ROM, that'd be great.
