Hello,
How can one make a custom keyboard that could be choosen as input method (aka Samsung Keyboard, Swype, Sixaxis)?
Is there any way to just load up a custom image, and then inside the app just configure that this area of the screen is for example A button, Space button etc?

Hi guys.
Im looking for a decent keyboard app for my wildfire, Any recommendations?
Thanks.
Hi,
I just use the default one in landscape, best i have used so far.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
A few hours ago i bought the "Ultra Keyboard" app from the market (you can get a free 24 hour trial)
Its alot better than the defauilt keyboard with alot more options.
i find the default keyboard is good. because of the small screen.
but you could always try better keyboard.
How about swype. Its great and works fine on wildfire.

It seems that you won't find any .apk of this soft, better keyboard or any "cracked/paid once for 10M users ) as it's illegal.
Although, i'm using Better Keyboard with the iphone skin (every Better keyboard skins are FREE, better keyboard WORTH ITS PRICE)
I find it "more" accurate than the default HTC keyboard, I set my phone to "micro-vibrate" each time I type a letter, disabled auto-correction and thats just PERFECT!
Also, you can "scroll" the keyboard from right to left & versa to easily switch the "qw/azerty" keyboard to the "1=ABC / 2 BCD" keyboard, and thats awesome when you're drunk / lazy / not in the mood / have an hangover... tested and approved
I like the "Scandinavian keyboard". Its awesome, especially if you live in Sweden, Denmark etc.
I use slideIT keyboard.Its better than the default HTC keyboard.
Any keyboards with smileys enabled in sms? Just like the htc_ime mod by jonas.
The issue is that htc_ime mod isn't built for a small screen like this.

Samsung and SE Xperia phones are different, these have different keyboards.
Xperia phones do not have voice input by default, but swiping from letter to letter does exist.

your arguement is invalid
edit: my mistake, i do not meant se gb keyboard, but samsung default gb keyboard
I had a problem with pre-loaded Swype with voice input as well. Was using version 2.70.75.22679.22684.471.I9000M which came pre-installed, the voice input button on the Swype keyboard didn't work at, but did work on the Samsung keypad (other default keyboard).
perhaps this is what OP is referring to.
I have recently un-installed the pre-loaded version and installed the latest beta, which is 3.26 right now. The voice input mic button is now the 'Dragon' logo. Seems to work well most times, but does NOT work with search fields. (such as in most browsers)
The google search bar widget with google voice input does work though, but I hate having to go find that if i want to search in a browser via voice input
Am I crazy or is the Samsung Keyboard garbage? It does word prediction but doesn't auto correct... WTF?!?! Or am I missing something here?

intelinside83 was referring to the lack of a number row on the stock Android 4.2 keyboard. The stock Samsung keyboard is quite different, including the inclusion of the number row.

This really is quite silly of Samsung. The keyboard has auto prediction and in my experience the auto prediction works quite well. The problem is that the keyboard will only input what you actually type regardless of whether or not it's correct. If you want to enter a predicted word you have to tap it yourself. I can't imagine it would be too difficult for Samsung to change the keyboard to favor the top predicted word, which would essentially be auto correct.
I'm still using the Samsung keyboard though because I'm getting along with the Swiftkey flow integration rather nicely.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
I'm actually really happy for the number row since I use numbers frequently and it was a pain having to constantly toggle it on/off. And, that auto-correction is disabled as I usually disable it any. Just had to turn off auto-spacing and auto-capitalization because it was wreaking havoc on authenticating into web sites like this one as it was adding a space in-between my password. Good riddance I say...

It is reported that upcoming 4.1.2 (not 4.2) enhancements will include integrated "swyping" functionality into the keyboard so it wouldnt make sense for them not to rectify the autocorrection issue.

Did the stock Sammy JB keyboard in the GS3 have no autocorrect either? Or does that phone still run ICS?
I might just have to switch to Swiftkey or Thumb Keyboard again - but that number row is GREAT - it is hard to turn away from it.
Yeah I went back to the stock samsung keyboard just cuz of the numbers... silly but I'm loving it! Just hooing for auto-correction. Maybe if they dont fix it someone will come out with a 3rd party with numbers!
Tappin from my Marble White Note II
Yup, no autocorrect. I'm using Swiftkey now.
It seems the Samsung keyboard is actually a variation of the swiftkey flow. I wonder if it's something to do with that. The flow part works pretty well and I love the number row

That's a shame, I kind of liked the original 2.1 conversations app ( a lot more than the default android one anyway ), and i figured it couldn't have gotten any worse over time
I got use to the ics sms app, better than the old one from the 2.1 in fact. Why don't you use handcent or some app like that one so ? You could have the same kind of look and feel

I don't like having to type in numbers/names in order to choose who I want to send a message to. In the original, when you tap the address-box you get a list of contacts to choose from, which is easier with our limited screensize.
From the three main 3rd party apps (Handcent, GoSms and Chomp) I liked Chomp the best, but they're hard work to get looking and feeling half decent, but they also come with a lot of bloat that i just don't need.
The Xperia Conversations and Miui Messaging apps are by far the best ones i've seen so far.
I played with Achotjan's SEMC Debrand Engine for a while yesterday, it felt like coming home, lol. Unfortunately, for a GB-based ROM, it feels a lot laggier and slower than even the new JB Roms, so I can't live with it for too long.
If I could just have that conversation app (and maybe the calendar too) on my MiniCM10 I would be completely happy.
I have ics with the original sms app and I don't have to type numbers, just the first letters then i've the list with names beginning with the letters i've typed at first :-/

If you have more than two contacts with similar starting names, you have to put away the keyboard so you can see the list properly, select the contact, call up the keyboard again to type other recipients, etc... I don't want that. Just give me a list of contacts so i can choose them with a swype and a tap. If you've tried the sony conversations app you will know how much easier it is to use.
One big change that I noticed on the GE 4.3 was the addition of the emoji keyboard, so I extracted it and put it into my system/app (with the necessary permission (rw/r/r) changes of course!) and tried it out, here it is in case anyone else would like it. Android users are finally able to use Emoji on twitter/Instagram/facebook!
EDIT: Doesn't seem to like Touchwiz or 4.2.2, force closes continuously.

It seems to work flawlessly in my sgs4, the libs you need is called "libemoji.so" or "libwnn.so" in system/lib.
You cand find it in some thread in the forums, i had it since the first version of jellybean.
The problem I found is that the keyboard doesn't display the emojis, I don't know why, because we have the emoji font already.
Good luck and see a preview

Maybe it requires some frameworks to detect the emoji font in system, but anyways, the new emoji keyboard works very well in my phone.
You can use it on whatsapp for example, but you can't see the emojis you tap in the keyboard.
Well emoji is working good with just the apk and lib...However, its still a hassle to use as you have to enable it under settings, and once enabled you have no access to regular keyboards...now im assuming the google keyboard from 4.3 leak has a shortcut to the emojis however im having dificulty getting it to work on the stock rom, it doesnt seem to want to load when enabled and also causes massive lag throughout the system when enabled...tomorrow ill get a logcat to see what im missing...and hopefully im not wasting my time

Maybe im missing something....the emoji part works as did my other emoji keyboard from 4.3...but what I want is a normal keybiard that has a shortcut to the emojis on the keyboard...that way I dont have to go into my setting every time I want to use an emoji.
Now in the zip I noticed it does have "iWnnIME_Kbd_White.apk" and " iWnnIME.apk" the second is the emoji keyboard...the first looks like its supposed to be a regular keyboard, however it never pops up in my settings as an input method...for you does this install a regular keyboard as well? Or do you also have to go into settings everytime to use the emojis...
Was able to figure out a work around by installing the Google keyboard from the market, deleting all other keyboards including Samsung's and swype, then under settings of both googles and the emoji keyboard check the option "switch to other input methods" this places a new key next to the space bar that when pressed switches to a different input method...you can long press it to select a diff one or just quick press it and it will switch to the next one...by deleting all other keyboards I only have one other keyboard so it by default it just switches between the Google keyboard and emoji now

I still can't see emojis in keyboard or interface, I only can see some symbols and squares. What could be my problem??
Can I check whether you're sure that you extracted this iWnnIME.apk from the system apps in Android 4.3?
Reason why I'm asking is that iWnn IME is actually a 3rd party IME that's available in Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.omronsoft.iwnnime.ml.sc04d&hl=en). I find it difficult to believe that Google would include it as a bundled IME in their factory images.
Can you verify this? Thank you.
