As far as I'm aware nothing like this currently exists, and it's become all the more desirable with devices such as the transformer/prime. I keep my keyboard set to the Asus keyboard to ensure complete compatibility with the dock, but when I undock it I prefer to use Swype. It would be awesome if there was an app/setting that could detect the dock and change my input settings accordingly.
+1
Nice one. Just half an hour ago i was looking for the same thing without finding anything... This would help i imagine something that is automated or with a widget for the desktop. So I can plug in the dock hit the widget and the IME is switched.
Btw I think this is my first xda post written with the transformer prime. OMG this is sooo good!!!
I need this app too
But this App requires root, I think. It is impossible to change the standard keyboard programmatically.
see here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3916184/android-set-default-keyboard
As a UK user the need is equally as acute even basic symbols (£, @ etc.) are on different positions on UK keyboards. The dock has them in the correct place, but use anything other than the Asus software keyboard and the whole thing gets messed up!
theres a wii mote app i used on my PoV Mobii that changes to selected keyboard on disconnect without the need for root...
Tasker?
I have yet to venture into tasker on the tablet yet but I am guessing you could get it done with this app. Very functional automation tool for android.

Good idea! Trying Tasker now, I'll let u guys know ^^
Here is my a little bit more permanent solution:
[MOD] Adjust your hardware keyboards default language
This includes changing /system files, so you need to be rooted.
Works perfectly for me

Behold! Keyboard manager! The app you seek!
You'll have to search the market for "keyboard manager" since I'm not allowed to post links yet...
Recently open-sourced, but not before the author added support for hardware keyboard detection. I had to dock/undock a couple times after activating the app to get everything peachy. Be sure to select the keyboard you want for all 3 options - portrait, landscape, and hardware. This DOES require ROOT.

everything still going good with that app? sent my prime back, looking for another and just learning in the meantime, hence i cant try it lol
Keyboard Manager is confirmed working on my rooted Android 4.0.3 Prime. I have my tablet keyboard set as Thumb Keyboard 4 and my hardware keyboard as the default Asus keyboard for dock compatability.

Just wondering why the font is so small. Coming from a L0Lphone Im used to the multitouch as I type and while I love the HTC IME, Id gladly have the MT capabilities.
I've tried and loved that keyboard on the nexus and it does work way better, font is legible. Wondering though, how do you benefit from multitouch? I type rather fast, I haven't noticed any difference.
with the HTC IME, the keys are responsive and dont lag, but I often move too quickly overlapping keypresses constantly. Without MT, the keys arent always recognized. While the font is legible, its freaking small and a pain if Im searching for a character I dont immediately know the location of on the KB.
Mostly Im wondering if there is anything we can do to make the font render properly
I agree it would be nice to have this working as it's one of the better free keyboards. I ultimately caved and purchased SmartKeyboard Pro. It's just as fast the as Droid X keyboard but with more features. The only thing that isn't quite as good is auto-correction but its still better then the stock keyboard for that.
Yeah, the droid KB is the best out, but I was wrecking my eyes trying to read the symbols.
I'm using the HTC IME Keyboard, which is much slower than my fingers and fumbles text quite a bit. I'll deal with the annoyance just to keep my eyes in good condition.
The keyboard has mutlitouch. Press and hold a key the press a second key. They both register the touch.

Instead of everyone else in this thread who just completely ignored your question, I have to agree with you. I'm trying to get the thing to work by just editing the .xml files in the .apk, but it's much more difficult than I first thought. I will get back to you if i make any progress.

I have no idea whether this works or not but the people at this blog got it to work on the Samsung Galaxy S so it might work on the Vibrant. Check it out:

I'm not allowed to post links so I placed a space between the download link so remove that and you should be good to go.

Here is a video showing the keyboard (check at 3:17):
Code:
youtube.com/ watch?v=47T3MGcygJA
boo, still doesnt work. Small letters for the lose
I'm more interested in the EVO's keyboard. It has the arrows right there on the keyboard. Coming from a G1 with a trackball, I find it hard to tap between the letters where I have to fix my error (or autocorrect's error). I know the HTC_IME mod has the option to use the volume rocker as left/right movement, but those aren't the easiest to push when typing in landscape.
you guys do realize that the Samsung keyboard included with the phone is multi touch right?
It's a nit pick, but I don't like the Samsung kb auto correct bubble popping up and down all the time ha-ha

I did say the SAMSUNG keyboard. NOT swype
Moderatior please cancel. I posted this wrong
I could not express what I wanted
I saw multitouch . In the past I thought it referrred to browsers . Now I see it in the same sentence as keyboards. so I was confused and didn't know how to ask. U can PM me the answer if you like
I shake a lot, Maybe terets, so I like speech functiion of the HTC but I really liked the Nexus Keyboard. Any recommendations
but like I said, I am not a developer I could not express it. You can delete it. IF you wanna pm me, I would love it
I like having hepatic feedback, but not vibrate on my keyboard. That's why the Samsung one is a no go
Here is the DroidX Multi-Touch Keyboard Port that works on the vibrant, just tested it
http://www.mediafire.com/?lumzzhdjnij
The original thread is here
Enjoy
Nice fine.
But, question.
The keys are super tiny. compared to the IME-HTC (EVO keyboard) and the default samsung.
What makes this soo good?
Sorry i am quite new to all this.
Thanks will try it tonight. *Update* Letters are way to small
Really small font on keys
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yea. thats what i said
Im curious as to why this is soo good whats the main KILLER feature? Ive been hearing alot about this keyboard.
its worked on the vibrant for awhile now, the font is way too tiny on the keys.
Id be interested in finding out why, but I dont have the knowledge to do so.
One of the main features is true multi touch, which on our screen will allow for significant error correction when typing.
This works perfectly on the I9000. Samsung keyboard has multi-touch too, I don't know what all the fuss about Droid X's multi-touch keypad is. But Droid X keypad certainly has MUCH better auto correction. That's why I use this.
okay so lets see. it's been confirmed many times it works right on the i9000, but doesn't work right on stock or rooted vibrant firmware. Meanwhile, the file in question hasn't been changed (other than being hosted on mediafire, which is something to be careful of sometimes).
So why is this being reposted here when even the op confirms that it shouldn't be?

Will it recognize both keystrokes based on when you remove your finger from each one is the best indicator.
And to respond to the Samsung KB comment, I think its auto correct is just rubbish which is why I dont use it. I have to fight the KB's piss poor prediction more than the HTC's KB's lack of MT bothers me.
I really like how the Droid X KB feels when I type with it, and its auto predict feels as good if not better than stock Android. I just need the bloody font to be larger on the keys
Better Keyboard from the market is true multi-touch. I'm using it now.
Samsung KB is not true multi-touch.

You can't, unless you disable haptic feedback all together, which turns off vibrate on the home keys as well, under settings and then sound.
Droid x keyboard was always my favorite, can't use it with tiny font though. Why? Not because of multitouch, but because of How it looks and feels, very easy to type fast on it.

Hi everyone.
I bought one of these phones and I came to a problem. Before this one I had a Xperia X8 and it's keyboard had an useful feature: while typing, if I made any mistake it suggested words, ie, imagine typing 'hekko' and there was a suggestion 'hello'. The android keyboard doesn't have any dictionary, I have to insert every single word, the LG keyboard only gives me "predictions" (if I mistype any word, it won't give me any suggestion).
Do you know any keyboard app that does the same of X8's?
I'm using Smart Keyboard PRO. It's not for free, but it's work realy nice for me. Becouse I'm from czech, find support for this minor language is really hard, but this keyboard have it! I also wrote some time in eglish and it works also fine. I love many of possiblities how to configure this keyboard.
It cost $2.73 so it's not too much I think. If you are not sure, you can also use trial version of this keyboard for free.

I second the motion for Smart Keyboard. I use the FREE trial.
While you are at it, you may want to try out "autotext" which is a great "text expander". i.e. you type "xda" it can suggest: "forums.xda-developers.com" if you configure it to.
I use mine to expand signatures, email addresses, and even templates.
plus, it supports macros: %d is expanded to current date, %t to current time.
additionally, you can resize the key heights, if you want to see more of the screen or want a bigger key for bigger fingers.
also set it to learn new words, and use your Contacts Dictionary.
It's a great keyboard.
-------------------------------------
You may want to check WiFi Keyboard as well, if you have a wireless router setup at home, it will enable you to enter from your PC Keyboard over wifi.
-------------------------------------
If you do not know yet, long press on a "text box" will allow you to switch "Input Method" (a.k.a. keyboard on the fly)
Good day! Hope this helps you out!

you can resize "smart keyboard" keys.
Home Screen --> menu key --> settings --> Language and Keyboard --> Smart Keyboard Trial --> General Settings --> Key Height
And as I mentioned in a previous post, you may want to check out "Wifi Keyboard", if you have access to a wireless router and your PC. That way you get to use a real keyboard.

Please don't take this the wrong way...
If you download a keyboard.. for example the "Gingerbread Keyboard" from the market, (Which is the one I use and looks much nicer than stock and is resizable to fit your needs). Then you go into the settings menu and enable this keyboard from the Language/Keyboard options menu. Then you go into a text message or something and longpress --> input method.. you WILL see two keyboards there, one Android keyboard, and the other will be your downloaded keyboard...
If you choose the downloaded one, it will systematically
change your keyboard across all apps within android to that one...
This is what I was speaking of... and this WILL do what you are asking...
If this is not clear please let me know..

By any chance have you flashed any kernels?

BTW - I pulled the latinIME.apk from the Hyperdroid hd2 rom and corrected permissions and I get force closes after reboot. Maybe it's because it's not QHD so it simply won't work. I wonder how easy it would be to port it over? I really love how that hyperdroid hd2 keyboard looks and it's the easiest to use.

I noticed that if the keyboard installs as the same name as a keyboard you already have it will only show one when you long press. I have found that if your third keyboard has a unique name it will show as a third choice ... but I'm glad you got it worked out, I like the qhd one in my last post, it installs as 3vo keyboard and is kinda awesome transparent!

Hehe, I was thinking the same thing, but decided to just download them all and take a look myself. Install is super easy: download, select like any app install, done!
Then just see sublime's post for the instruction on enabling them. Cycling through them all took like 10 seconds.

I flashed this Keyboard, and looks like it fixed the size issue and gave it Blue theme.... ENJOY!
I'm using Swiftkey pretty much since my first Android smartphone and it always bugged me when I wanted to type email addresses or other stuff the dictionary didn't contain. So when I type something and hit the spacebar the word would be autocorrected to something completely different. I always wished there would be a simple toggle to enable/disable autocompletion/suggestions. Well, now there is!
This module allows you to double tap any text box to enable/disable suggestions. It's tested on Swiftkey and Google keyboard both on Android KitKat.

See this baby being quite useful. Should have been part of the system from the start!
Will give it a try once that "issue" is resolved.
It's not really an issue. I only noticed it when being in Google Mail, double tapping in the subject, then going to the message body, double tapping and then going back to the subject field. So this use case is rather rare. Usually you are in Whatsapp or any other messaging service and operate only in a single field. Not multiple.
Is it possible that the app will remember my settings for certain fields? For example disable the auto correction when it meets again the input field of a mail address in kmail?
@theknut
Great mod idea. :good.
With June 30 update, works great on Stock 4.0.4 . What at treat. Thanks.
(why Swiftkey devs don't add a toggle for this is beyond me!!!)
I have been wanting something like this for a LONG time!
Suggestion
- It would be great if this toggle could be triggered by a SHORTCUT. Then, we could use a mod like "Gesture Navigation" to toggle the feature on/off.
Not working on my galaxy s4 running kit kat either, hope this is fixed soon as it's a great idea.
Not working on Moto G with Google Keyboard
Not working on Samsung s2 with swift key.
Edit....
Now it's works fine with the update fix... Thanks Dev for the fix. Great..

I'm soo sorry. There was a stupid typo making it not work properly.... It's working now though, thanks for the heads up! Please grab it from the repo again! I'd appreciate if you could update your post so that for new users it doesn't look like it's not working :-S

Works fine on my LG P500 over multiling-o kb.
Suggestion: Choice of gestures. Why? Because that double-click is functional in various text-programs including messaging (seems to insert/remove new-line). Kind of limited because directional gestures will also be functional. Ideas?
This seems to just disable suggestions entirely when I'm using Swiftkey (beta if that matters). Double tapping does nothing, and swipe input (flow) is disabled.
Google Keyboard works as expected and I can toggle suggestions, but only if the input field originally allows for this. I was hoping that this would allow me to turn on suggestions for input fields that some idiot developer forced to have suggestions off, and it doesn't do that. Would be a great feature to see in the future!
Excellent module :highfive:
Works fine on the play store "L" keyboard FYI and TY!
N900T rooted stock.
This is great!
Thank you very much. I love autocorrect but it drives me crazy sometimes. Now the solution is "a double tap away", again, thank you
(I'm on CM11 maguro)
I don't get the point of this, at least with SwiftKey. Since you still type out the word instead of swiping it, you can always have SwiftKey accept what you wrote out - the word would appear in the leftmost suggestion.
This is totally awesome! :good: :laugh:
HTC One (m7) here and it works like a charme!
Seriously...this solves a problem that has always annoyed me big time and I already made a note to see if it's "programmable" with Tasker and place a shortcut in the quicksettings menu. But it still felt to complicated...this is super intuitive and works flawless!
Thank you!

and the multiling kb gives the option on tapping in.
Anyway, this is a tiny module, use it when needed, ignore it when not. Painless and cost-free

@Archon810
Do you use the setting... auto space after a period? Sometimes, in some scenarios, in trying to spell out a long word that has periods or punctuation in it, SwiftKey keeps auto correcting and the usual method of using the top left suggestion box is virtually useless. Hard to explain. But, being able to temporarily disable suggestions/typos really comes in handy in this situation. I actually feel less stressed at times. Such a handy feature. Many have wrote to the SwiftKey devs over the years, asking for a similar Toggle. Instead, it manually takes 4-5 clicks to disable prediction. This module is the apitome of the usefulness of Xmodules such as this one. Thanks again to our dev @theknut.
