Hello!
I've installed CM 9.0.0 on my Mini Pro and I have a problem with the physical keyboard. When it is open, there are no word suggestions (even if i activate them in the settings) and there is no blue key lock icon in the statusbar. How can I install the stock keyboard on this rom? Previously used the Real ICS r2 rom and the keyboard was working correctly with word suggestions and icon on statusbar.
Thanks in advance!

As long as I remember, the suggestions doesn't appear when you are using the physical keyboard (well I'm not really sure about this). Anyway, you could use other keyboard like swiftkey, I'm using it already and suggestions appear even with physical keyboard.
Also, currently there is no way to get the key lock icon, though the key it's working normally. The same for the shift key and sym key.
All these features are present with the stock keyboard only. As far as I know there is no ported stock keyboard which is working with CM9.

Has anybody worked out how to remove the language bar which pops up when texting yet? If I have the sudden urge to switch to Catalan half way through a text I will do it long-hand, that bar takes up too much of the already small screen!
Could you post a photo of what you mean,cost I don't get any language bar come up

I cant post a pic of it at the moment, but let me try to explain it better. When i go to enter text using the hardware keyboard a blue bar appears at the bottom of the screen (taking up approx 1/5 of the screen) with "Eng" on the left and an icon to show the status of the Caps lock on the right, along with a close button. This annoys the hell out of me as often when filling in passwords etc it covers up the "Ok" button.
Only way I found on mini pro is
Settings - Locale & Text
Uncheck the default input tick box
This works well on mini pro but stops you using virtual keyboard

Is a good intermediate solution but someone knows a way to get rid of this bar without losing the virtual keyboard?
It's build in built-in keyboard and I think it could not be removed (not easily without root hacks). The half-solution without root is to use another software keyboard.
Yeah installing third party keyboard software gets rid of the blue language bar.
I'm using SlideIt Keyboard which changes the virtual keyboard to a funky Swype-like keyboard but removes the language bar when using the hardware keyboard.

Can anyone recomend a decent keyboard replacement.
Also, i've asked this before (didn't get much of a reposnse) but is there a way to get spell check with the hardware keyboard?

I use AnySoftKeyboard, which is free and provides a reasonably good keyboard for when I don't want to open the hardware keyboard.

Currently there doesn't appear to be one.
I have ended up installing AnySoft keyboard too. Its ok, but removes the function where you could long-press a key to access the blue alternate option on it. It has removed the language bar though so its good enough for me!
Hello, Does anyone know how to get the selection tool during text input? I am using BETA4 and looks like its not linked to the keyboard im using. However i remember that while using stock ROM and SE keyboard i was able to move cursor (actually moving the text and cursor was in the middle )

Long tap on the text->select text?
I am after a better way of moving/controlling the cursor itself. Like time pointer in new Youtube App. I know Samsung S got sth like this.
Regards
Maybe some keyboards have that option, haven't found it yet.
use swype It has cursor keys etc built in for editing and selection etc
+1. You need to swype from the swype key (bottom left) to the sym key to pop up the direction controls.

Hi devs,
Is there any possibility to mix up 2 different Input methods?
I like to use the android default or some similar qwerty-keyboard for "on screen typing", but if i slide out the hardware keyboard i want to use the SE IME.
So i have to change the IME by pressing text input field manually, every time i wish to use the hardware or reverse.
So my simple question is it possible to mix up IMEs or any other chance to get this managed automatically?

It should be logically possible to attach a task of switching the input method when the event of keyboard out/screen rotation takes place.
But then again if someone did it it'll be an app that would charge, because it'll be a lot of work for coding and making a ui for it.
Guess you should stick to your fingers for now!

it is really hard to mix but possible i try and post when it works^^
but its hard
It's been a while since I tried it, but i think i remember there being an app available in market called Keyboard Manager (requiring root access) that allowed this. It needs to run on boot and automatically switches the IME based on keyboard state.
Edit: I was wrong in thinking it read keyboard state, it read rotation sensor state.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ne0fhykLabs.android.utility.kmLauncher
yeah this app is very cool and fits my needs.
As predicted it IS a paid app
Tested, works absolutely great!
Even my device is set up to ignore orientation by rotation sensor, "keyboard manager" seems to recognise the keyboard slide out and changes the IME automatically.
Now I use swiftkey x beta for onscreen and SE IME for keyboard typing...
Thanks a lot!

Also having this issue. But besides that my BT keyboard (mall crap, $30) also doesn't use shift properly:
-on all keyboards caps lock is working, shift isn't, hence I can not use special characters
-with GO keyboard, shift works, but caps doesn't (have to double press shift to make it work.
I don't know why the configuration is so messed up but the KB works fine on my Galaxy S2. I tried replacing the /system/usr... keyboard files with no luck.
Also what yalkowni said is essential, whould love to have copy/paste/select text/cut working and such an app would be well worth it's money.
Hey
Gingerbread keyboard, how to make the space bar bigger??
I just got this phone, and installed the gingerbread keyboard from the market.
I find that on this phone the spacebar on the keyboard is very small and I keep hitting the "." button instead of spacebar....
Someone know how I can make the spacebar bigger?
Ok I removed the voice and settings buttons from the settings and that made the spacebar a bit bigger....
Try the keyboard app Smart Keyboard Pro. You can remove the period button (becomes merged with the comma button on the left of the spacebar) and that gives you an even bigger spacebar. It's available as a fully functional trial that nags you once every few hours or so, or a ~$3 paid app. It's an amazingly customizable keyboard overall and well worth the money.
True, Ive tried many keyboard apps and smart keyboard pro is by far and away the best I've used.

As has been mentioned, Smart Keyboard Pro is the keyboard of choice for the gs2.
