Hello Devs
I guess most of us are tired of using the qwerty keyboard on CyanogenMod with our Xperia Mini's and Mini Pro's.
I was just hoping if any dev could port the STOCK Sony T9 KEYBOARD from our Mini's to CyanogenMod ( CM7 or CM9).
Thanks.
Mod please move the thread if unappropriate.......

Stock keyboard from stock ROM already includes T9 and QWERTY both, and I think it should work fine without porting.
I have used keyboards from other ROMs for long time, haven't experienced problems.

2) Black Sony Default Keyboard ENGLISH ONLY OR INTERNATIONAL
(International includes English)
Any solution......????????
Man , CM9.0 for Xperia Mini is the best ROM based on ICS yet , but the keyboard is killing me . I've looked up several posts that have update .zip files for a stock keyboard , but non of them are Alphanumeric Phonepad keyboards , just QWERTY keyboards . If someone could post a link to an update file for CWM with Stock Alphanumeric Phonepad layot keyboard for CM9.0 it would be great !
Anyone? I'm still looking for a T9 keyboard for an Xperia Ray running CM9.
Would this work? I don't want to break anything on my girlfriend's phone...
Thanks

Thanks anonymous.
I'm glad to report that the T9 keyboard from the thread I linked to worked great on an Xperia Ray with Cyanogenmod 9

No idea, sorry I only tried it on an Xperia Ray.
I personally think that every android phone rom should have the T9 keyboard as an option, as is less error prone than the qwerty, if you want to message quickly T9 can do it for you (if your dictionary has been accostumed to your personal vocabulary) and that be done geniusly with the physical keyboard, just my two cents.
Can anyone tell me if the stock T9 keyboard works well on CM7? Will it be a T9 keyboard on CM10?
I tried to flash the xperia S keyboard for fxp149 cm10, It work perfectly with wouch, but the hardqware keyboard on sk17i still the default, even after i delete the AOSP keyboard. IS there a workaround to have T9 input with qwerty, like on the official roms?
I succeeded in using Sony Stock Xperia Mini Pro keyboard on CM9, using the Xperia S package as a guideline on which files to pick (on sk17i there are some more dependencies than on Xperia S, but the basic files are just the same), but only for the soft keyboard and T9...it still doesn't enable typing suggestions when using the hardware keyboard.
Maybe the typing suggestions for hardware keyboard are bundled inside some framework jar?
I really miss them too
Hi
I'm kind of a newbie here ... I was just wondering how do I install the zip file once i ve downloaded it?
I neet to connect my xperiau on the pc and then drag the zip file into the root and then do the volume up button to activate the zip file using flash??
i've got a cnm 10 btw
Hello, would it work on CM11?
Try using Touchpal X keyboard as it has a T9 mode and also supports suggestions while using the hardware keyboard.
Sent from my SK17i using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
CM9 & 10 on sk17i vs. other ROM
Now tried both CM9 & 10 on my SK17i and though it's a quite enjoyable experience, I could never get any of the aforementioned keyboard solutions to work. Also, with both CM9 & 10, regardless of performance settings, heavier apps like Skype (and even Dots [a game which isn't that heavy] and Whatsapp) wouldn't work properly, neither with the keyboard or in general when left running in the background -Skype would drop calls all the time and give stuttering audio. And audio in general is incomparable to the stock ROM.
In the end I switched to this ROM ReVolutioN which unfortunately is discontinued in this form (but as I understand keeps going in another ) which works so much better for my XMP and comes with stock t9 keyboards already installed, superb audio quality and LOADS more free ram, giving a way-way-waaay faster and smoother experience than CM9 or 10 (again, on SK17i) -although neither is even close to as customizable as any CM version, at least not in the same way and the menus aren't quite as pleasurable to navigate.
But there are so many other ROMs out there and you hardly just need the one I chose, or any of the other I tried. There's a whole bunch of them that have either stock xperia mdpi keyboards or xperia s already installed, so I suggest to try that (as you also get back T9 in portrait mode, as well as Sym-key, GLOBE-key and Blue-dot-key functionality plus word suggestions for hardware keyboard).
Still... After months of trying, albeit not every day, I finally opted for another ROM and now, after about another month, I feel I should share this info with any and all who experienced the same as I and the others who posted in this thread.
Thanks for your time, hope you found this helpful.

Hi !
Everything is in the title
I'm looking for SE stock apps to use them as replacement for SMS/dialer/contact, because I don't like the ones built in CM6/7. So, is there anyone who have managed to use them with CM7 ?
Thanks you in advance
BTW : The stock 4 corners launcher would be nice too
(Or maybe we should wait for the next x10 mini/pro and get the new rom to butcher it and port it to our phone :/)
I am looking for it too please
T9
Can't help you on the stock progs, but, take a look at Go SMS Pro and TouchPal Dialer. I found them way better than both CM and stock dialers/sms

Indeed, Touchpad dialer is fine, even if the fonts are very small :-/
Go Sms seems good too, not totally at my taste, because again of the fonts' size, but it would do the job

Well.. small screen - small fonts
Have you figured what to do with with the in-call screen? When I use in-call dialpad (to browse throught voice menus) the bottom rows (7890) are hidden ...
I use external keyboard for that..
Any ideas?
Thanks
Not a clue :-S, sorry

About that, we know now why SE did choose the four corners ui xD ... To gain some place for things like a dialer :-S

Coming from an X10i before I upgraded to i9100G, I used wolfbreak's ROM where I so loved the new swype keyboard (ported from xPeria Arc). It's not exactly the same as the Swype from SGS2 but I found it to be the best of all keyboards I tried. And I have paid version of SlideiT. Out of curiosity I installed that keyboard on my rooted i9100G but of course it didn't install as I expected.
Now I guess what i wanted to ask is, since the stock Swype from SGS2 sucks and I wanted a better keyboard that works like swype/slideit, is there anything else I can do to port the xPeria Arc's keyboard to my phone?
Also, how do you hide Swype (stock keyboard)? like when you're typing and you wanna temporarily hide it.
Can we download additional Languages? I'm a filipino and I would love to have tagalog language installed in my phone. Sony Ericsson has tagalog.
Thanks for the help!
Hello!
Sadly I cannot post in the development area. Because of this I have to ask my question in this area.
I have installed the ROM mentioned in the title. The hardware keyboard is "QWERTY". As I am from Germany I would prefer "QWERTZ" layout. Is there a possibility to change it?
Kind regards.
Nieschinhio
Well for most people i think QWERTY is better, but search on Google
Maybe you did not understand my question. The keyboard is "QWERTZ", but when I press the "z" it prints a "y", et vice versa.
try installing a new user language in the options
I tried all options. But there is no option for the keyboard layout of hw keyboard in ics. Do I miss something? Or is there an .apk to install?

That's the ICS problem.
It is ported from Ray or Arc or Neo V, neither of these has physical keyboard, so no settings also for changing that. Needs to be edited by developers themselves.
That is what I expected. Thank you!
Hopefully the devs will add it.
Hello all,
I just wanted to share with you, that my Original Samsung Keyboard Dock is not working with Cyanogenmod 9 from the Development Section here.
Does anybody have a solution for this?
Will it ever work with Cyanogenmod?
So far I am very very impressed with Speed and Stability of the latest CM9 Version by locerra.
Hopefully someone can chime in on the Keyboard Dock Situation...
Thanks again all for making such an incredible Community.
Cheers
qwertz
Doesn't work for me too
Did you ever find a solution for this OP?
I was loving CM10 since its first release, but just went back to the Samsung ICS stock rom last night as i wanted to use the dock keyboard
Thinking of selling it now nad just getting a bluetooth one
just went back to the Samsung ICS stock rom

Same thing for me on SGT-P7510 on sammobile.com
Swiftkey app is a little compatible with external keyboards.
Something like this : go into the settings of the keyboard swiftkey app, validate the Terms od use choose English (US), define Swiftkey as the default input, and therefore in its parameters, go to Advanced > then choose External Keyboard Layout > English and it's good !
Or save the Samsung Keyboard .apk on ICS Stock ROM and bring the application on CM10. Maybe it could work
This is a known limitation of cyanogenmod.
have you read of any hacks / alternate soft keyboards that can get it to work?
The stock ICS rom is so limiting (and to me seems slow) compared to the JB rom (CM10)
i recall having to enable the dock option in the cm settings for my xoom, perhaps the same is true for the gtab?
in Paranoid rom working of keyboard doc should be fixed. I dont have one to test, unfortunately
here is link to changelog http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1838391
Works with the latest CM10 build too (the modified one recently uploaded):
Should work in the latest "official" rom too.

I downloaded and installed keyboard from this thread . Its from galaxy note 2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1964814
That keyboard is with gesture typing ( sth like swype) . I cant make gesture working on my sony tablet s. Any ideas how to have it fully worked? Conventional input is good but sometimes keyboard closes/hiddens. I also tried to install stock keyboard from xperia arc s 4.0.3 but it fc.
No issues getting the swype gestures to work here on my Xperiat Tablet S. Works well, but not as visually appealing as the default keyboard.
Add gesture typing works after I changed keyboard language from auto/system to eg. English usa. Could you confirm that in your device ?
This keyboard has issues to fix. When I want to type word letter by letter keyboard closes/minimalises and to continue l must click on write area once or twice to having keyboard. After typing one or two letters keyboard dissapears . This repeats again and again.
Maybe jelly bean keyboard extracted from similar device should work better (xoom).
Any suggestions/improvements/attachments ?
I remember using the proper port and it worked fully until a few seconds and then it really played up, really nice though.
