If you try it and it doesn't work as expected then let me know. I don't have a keyboarddock myself but I've tested the app on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 with both Bluetooth and USB keyboards (swedish layout) with Android 3.1, 3.2 and 4.0.3 (CM9).
I'd be surprised if it does not work with the keyboard-dock.

Yap, and guess what:
I couldn't get it to work in QWERTZ mode. Even with the software it kept a QWERTY-keyboard.
Same with the original Samsung bluetooth keyboard cover - no way. Btw: The USB-host-adapter I've got wasn't working either with ICS-Kang.
So, I switched back to Task650 v.14.

It should work. Perhaps you did not switch input method to External Keyboard Helper?
The only devices that I know of that it does not seem to work on is Xperia devices when using USB keyboard. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 myself and it works with stock 3.1 and 3.2 and CM9. I also use it on my Motorola Xoom with stock 3.2.

Yes, but I didn't get it to work with ICS-Kang. With 3.2 it is natively supported. Under ICS the external USB-hub isn't working either, which is no problem under 3.2

Sounds like a kernel issue with the release you are using. I can use USB attached keyboard, mouse, etc with CyanogenMod 9 on my Galaxy 8.9 and I'm using a slightly modified version of the 10.1 kernel that is used in CM9 for the Galaxy 10.1. USB keyboard should work with if you build CM9 from the official repos.
There are some nightlys here for the 10.1 wifi: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=p4wifi
hi there,
i just downloaded the demo app of keyboard helper to try if it works.. i have the galaxy tab 10.1 keyboard dock.
well let's say it works quiet well with the german layout.
but what's keeping me from spending those 2€ on the pro version is, that it does not support all the special keys on the dock.. or i'm not able to correctly assign the keycodes...
ok, these special keys are not working by default:
* 'Home' Button
* 'App Switch' Button - you know, the one which would show all the open apps, like the softkey button right to the home button in ICS roms.
* 'Darker' & 'Brighter' buttons
* 'Mute' Button
* 'App Drawer' Button
I don't know if this is a ROM issue, but after enabling the custom layout and playing around with the key mappings I only got the 'Home' button working again..
I didn't find an option for brighten or darken the display, nor does the mute keycode work on my ROM..
If there's an keycode for the app drawer or the app switch, i must be blind, because I didn't find it..
hopefully you can implement the missing functionality! I want to use my keyboard dock to it's full extend
btw: i'm using AOKP build 24 (i know, it's old)

Create a custom layout and map Home (check the Keycode checkbox) to the key.

You can map these manually in the latest version (3.7). Works fine in CM7.2 and CM9 but didn't work as intended on my Xoom with stock 3.2 but next version (3.8) will works on the Xoom and probably most other devices.
* 'Mute' Button

Works for me with CM9 and Samsung BT keyboard case without doing any remapping. Not sure why it does not work for you.

Haven't been able to get this one to work either.

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.

I'm developer of multitouch gestures launcher app and I need to test if multitouch protocol on 10.1 changed after updating to stock ICS.
If you have rooted 10.1 with stock ICS please help me :angel:
You need to install app from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535740
Try if Home gesture (pinch 4 fingers) work out of the box?
If it does not wok,
1) open application settings,
2) go to Advanced tab
3) Enable 'Override touch events par-ser detection'. Select ICS_DEFAULT.
4) Click 'Restart service', wait a few seconds.
5) Try Home gesture again.
If it works out of the box or after changing parser, please go to Help tab, click List Devices, then click 'Email developer'.
It will add necessary information for me so I can adjust application.
Add message that it is working with these settings.
Thank you in advance.

Theres no apk.
You have three great roms as choice if you want this feature.
One is ParanoidAndroid.
Other is Paranoia rom (modified paranoidandroid).
Another one is Omega V3
Download any one and you will get feature of virtual onscreen keys.
Both are non-samsung.

This is something i want, too. i dont want to use physical keys anymore. On sgs3 only the home button is a physical push button though, but i want to have a virtual one instead. Perhaps i should try omega..

if you want the buttons you can download the aokp version which i think has a few bugs .
Hello! I am the only one, who can't manage to get a working gesture typing 4.2 keyboard on FXP CM10? I flashed several ZIPs and installed APKs but none of them worked with gesture typing. The keyboard itself works perfectly, but the swipe function doesn't want to.
Why don't you download the apps like swype or swiftkey as they might offer the functions you need and also some keyboards support themes so you can apply themes on them...
Hope I helped,
Regards,
Abhinav

After all these tries, I tried swype and swiftkey too. Both of them quite good, but they eat a lot of memory (~30MB) beside the original android keyboard. But now I removed some not too important apps and kept only swype (beta). I will see how it works, thanks.

Yes ofc, I checked, unchecked the gesture typing and reboot several times, nothing. But now I am quite well with this Swype keyboard (except the +30MB ram use). Thanks guys

You can look here for the xperia sx keyboard that also has swipe but I am not sure if it has mdpi support: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33774862&postcount=1404 and the portal has a story on a new swipe keyboard that you may want to try: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/kii-keyboard-offers-free-alternative-to-swype-and-swiftkey/
If you really want the 4.2 keyboard, then pm me and I will send you the one that is working on my device.
Sorry for the previous post about making sure you turned on the features of the keyboard...it is just one of those things that frequently gets over looked :laugh:
is it possible to compile the 4.2 keyboard from sources or is it a gapp now? if it can be compiled, can it be backported to 4.1?
It's already out there, both for stock and aosp, but i had the same problem with gesture not working. I'm using the xperia s and it works fine. Swipe and swiftkey eat ridiculous amounts of ram and also do random connections, i stopped using them after very little..
I went looking for where I originally downloaded the 4.2 keyboard. It was from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1964663
There are 2 zips, one that contains just the apk and that one is working for me on a ST18i, but mrmako777 also has a version in case the apk alone doesn't work and also contains a required lib file. So if the apk alone isn't working, maybe you can try the 2nd zip in his post.
yeah but i would like to compile it from source, and yes, Swipe and swiftkey eat ridiculous amounts of ram.

So I really liked the CyanogenMod PieControlls, but the color was allways the same.
So I made this mod :
It enables PieControls on devices without Softkeys:
->Enable Softkeys->Goto System Settings and activate the expanded desktop -> select the option to show the statusbar in expanded desktop -> configure PieControls
this is a nice tutorial : -> http://www.geordienorman.com/pie-control-cyanogenmod/
It makes PieControls fully themable:
You can theme every part of PieControlls.
This Mod works on any device with Cm 10.1 or Cm 10.2.
Download it here

Wow, that's awesome:laugh:Thanks a lot:good:
If anybody is experiencing download issus like page not found, just be patient google play is still processing it.

What happens with the menu key? Does it show up in the pie controls if an app requires the menu button (like in the Nexus 4 and the Galaxy Nexus and other phones that use touch-based navigational buttons)?
That's the only reason I don't use pie controls in general (yeah, I know, silly reason )

I don't really get what you mean...
But on cm 10.2 you can go into expanded desktop and you wont see the softkeys.
On Cm 10.1 you have to disable the softkeys after configuring pie.

Basically, on Android, the menu button is supposed to be within the app itself. If it's not, the Nexus phones (or devices with a navigation button bar) show a menu key (the three vertical dots).
With your module, do we see those three dots if an app requires it, or not?
IIRC, CM10 always showed the three menu buttons so it kinda became a little redundant.
