Well, the topic says all.
Another questions regarding keyboard are:
Do all WM6 ROMs need default keyboard being set as default or they freeze on startup?
Can PCM Keyboard be set as default on startup?

Hi,
i am looking for a perfect keyboard for me in order to write faster but i use to write with an auto space option which i can not find on the htc keyboard (nether on the resco). I use Touch Pal but the version is old and too slow and on the swype keyboard i dont have an option in the portugues language.
Could you kindly give me any ideas, such if ther would be an auto space option cab for downlaod for the htc keyboard or other good available software....
Since no ROM will offer the Japanese Language keyboard input, and I don't like to use keyboard apps from market, so is there anyway that I can mod the HTC Sense original keyboard input to have the Japanese Language?
I don't have any ideas how should I start it, so anyone can point me down to any guide?
At least please give me a head start.
Thanks.
I was wondering if there was a way to add Japanese as an language input for the Android keyboard? By default, there is no option to add Japanese as a llanguage input, and all other keyboards that have it are either ugly, don't have ICS as an optional theme or just too much, I prefer the stock Android keyboard on ICS over anything else and I'm sure there are some of you that agree. It would be nice to have this and other possible languages as optional languages on this keyboard.

Google Japanese Input Beta is what I use when I need to type in Japanese, but I too would prefer it if it could be part of the language selection within natural ICS settings.
Before updating my Sensation from Gingerbread to ICS, I could Long-press in they text field for the popup menu to appear, from which i could change between English and Japanese with no hassle.
After the ICS update, I keep on needing to go into settings>Language and Keyboard>Keyboard and input methods>Select Japanese. Bloody annoying, having to do this, especially if the sms's I receive keep on alternating between Japanese and English....
Anything I am missing out on here?

I am using Google IME Beta on stock ICS 4.0.4. I can switch between English and Japanese by long-pressing the spacebar (on the English keyboard) or the bottom left key (on the Japanese keyboard) and changing to the other language in the popup dialog.
Hi all, wondering if anyone has the same incredibly frustrating problem.
I'm using a Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7105
I used to use the Samsung Keyboard with English and the Chinese language input (downloaded in it's language settings).
But after a hard rest (My phone had recently updated itself to 4.3 with no change) I no longer have Chinese as a downloadable language.
WHY is this so annoying... Becuase if I use another keyboard that has chinese I can't swap between it and the Samsung Keyboard in Keyboard. The Samsung has to be selects in the phone setting and can't be selected as one of many keyboards.
The reason why I wish to use the Samsung keyboard is becuase of its great swipe input function. I have not found another keyboard that has swipe in English and Chinese input funtionality.
Which means I can never using any combo of keyboards swap easily from chinese to swipe english keyboard. Aarrgghh!!!!!
I think It has something to do with the locale version of the 4.3 android os. I heard that different locales have different downloadable language options. But why has mine sudenly changed!
Anyone?

Samsung must have changed the CSC of your device when upgrading to Android 4.3
I don't own your device. So I am just sharing what I know.
Go to messaging app, and select create new message and the keyboard will be activated.
In that look for any settings icon.
If there is one, then click on it and change your input language.
^If it doesn't work, go to menu>settings>language and input and change the options.
Press thanks if I have helped.
Maybe someone has better ideas.
Is there a way to Force Left-To-Right layout on RTL languages (on Arabic & Hebrew)?
Hi, as you may know, for Localization purposes Android forces Right-to-Left orientation on some languages, like Arabic and Hebrew. Although it makes a perfect sense, since people on these languages actually read from Right to Left, it's highly annoying for many Hebrew & Arabic speakers, because everything is inverted, the entire UI and Layout is inverted.
So switching from English / Russian / or even old Android versions that used to be always LTR (even on Hebrew and Arabic) and switching to modern Android versions (or switching to Hebrew & Arabic) are forcing LTR on these languages. Which considered as confusing and counter-intuitive for many users, especially elderly people who were already used to the LTR orientation and now they have to deal with this new learning curve again...
Is there a way to force back LTR even when Hebrew and Arabic are the default language for the device?
Thanks!

In the developers options (click few times build number to activate)
there is a revert options that reverts the layout. Its worth the try.
Hi, thank. But I know about this option, the funny thing is that it works on LTR languages but does nothing for RTL languages...
And even if it worked, it's not a permanent solution because it resets on reboot...
Thanks anyway.
Hi, did u figure out any solution to this yet?
