Streak 1.6 like keyboard - Streak 5 Themes and Apps

Hi,
This is what I have now got, please bear with me, I am not an expert and can at the most modify the layout of the keyboard. Suggestions are always welcome, I am learning JavaScript, XML and SVG. Then I will make a web page where you can learn how to make your own keyboard, also my Java is not spectacular so I will keep adding new stuff as and when I learn it
Changes made
1. Added a ? when SHIFT is pressed in place of 0 key. Thanks jeffrey2000 for pointing this out.
2. Added the 3rd view with smileys and top level domains used while browsing the internet.
3. Added the arrow keys, finally got the thing working
4. Keyboard works normally in Portrait mode. Thanks to steflucrene for the tip.
5. Alternate symbols are available in a pop up on long press, also added Scandinavian letters.
6. Added a new version which looks prettier and also fixed the portrait number bug. Thanks to JOBooth for catching this.
Things to do
1. Make a specific version for the Archos Tablet.
2. Restore the smiley view in landscape and also add same theme in portrait mode.
Till then enjoy. The portrait mode is now functioning normally.

I wanted to add one thing, when you press Shift then you can see the Screen shot shown below and on that if you press ABC then you actually see the same symbols but if you want to change the symbols you can tell me and I will include them, what this basically means is that we can have 3 views. I am currently using only 2 and if someone wants some extra keys we have one whole view
Just added 3rd view
With Shift key pressed
Capitals now look like this
Portrait Mode

Looks great here. Downloads as .txt file, not .apk. I'm using Thumb keyboard but would like to give this a try! Thanks!

I get a FC on every change I make to its settings. When I chose Streak Keyboard 1.6 on the input choice it will not take. It stays with Android keyboard. It is checked under Keyboard & Languages.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Version 6 of keyboard, streakdroid 1.8.1, and dpi I don't know unless it has to do with the density of 160.

keys are swapped and enter does not work
I like the layout of the keyboard, but the ~ and ' keys are revered in the newest version. I also only see a box similar to this [] when the enter key is hit.
Thanks for the effort and I think you just have a few more bugs to work out and this will be a great keyboard!

I've been using SwiftKey keyboard on mine and I'm happy with it. I wish it had arrow keys, but it's fast and has a clean ui. It's available in the market with a 31 day free trial.

Well whatever problem I was having with the 1.6 keyboard posted here went away when I upgraded to DJ Steve's 1.9. It is great having the 1.6 layout back.

my keyboard
i use the BETTER KEYBOARD 7.this is a great keyboard as you can adjust the height of the keyboard(make the letters bigger). this is good if you have big fingers as it helps to increase your accuracy. i uninsatlled swype in the 02 UK official 2.2 update and installed this as the default keyboard. it also doesn't freeze on me. hope this helps

I see a few mentions of other keyboards, but will any of those do the stock 1.6 layout with the number pad on the side? This is what I am after. I do not thumb type and have no interest in split keyboards.
