Is there any way to do this. I'm using an Asus MeMo Pad 7.
When I changed the keyboard to Japanese, I got the Kana layout, which is really time consuming for me to use. I'd like to have it setup how iOS and Windows does it. With a normal English/Romaji keyboard, but the characters change as I type. For example typing "re" turns into ”れ”.

As a Linux user, I quite often need special characters like the pipe and so on. How can I access these characters which are not showing on the normal keyboard layout?
Look for hackers keyboard in the market. It should have everything you need.
Gorgeous! YMMD!

Hey there guys, I have been on the hunt for the Best Android Keyboad, and I wanted to see what everyone here was using?? I have tried stock, predictive, and the slide type, (I have not had the chance to play with any of the other 3rd party keyboards, with all sorts of different technology's.
So, I was wondering if some of you fellow xda-ers wanted to weight in on this, and help guide me on my adventure??
Thanks in advance :cool

swype for normal language but my most preferred is hackers keyboard. latter has a full keyboard like on pc when in landscape mode. pretty awesome on big screens like galaxy note. also almost every keyboard has the stupid white text entry over the entire remaining screen where there is not the keyboard, which hides my chat windows away and makes landscape a pain. hackers keyboard does not do such. you have keyboard and chatlog.
I like Android 4.2's stock keyboard. It has everything you need. Predictive text, spell-checking, gesture typing, multiple finger gesture typing. I use English Azerty, and it is just great for me!
Swype, until I get 4.2

Swype, although the 4.2 keyboard's implementation of this looks nice. I also like Hacker's Keyboard on my tablet which is just a PC looking keyboard layout. If they could implement a Swype functionality with it then it would be my favorite.
Swiftkey 3 is my Favourite.
Simply because
1)It is more intuitive than the rest, thus producing more CORRECT Auto Correction
2)It learns your way of typing and in real time monitors all that you type and maintains your individual statistics
3)It individually Learns from your fb,sms,email and twitter threads.
4)It also provides a good number of visual customization options
Thus overall it proves to be the best package

Thanx guys for the input, and all the great info I find ShayonX, IMO, as to swiftkey 3, and as far as "prediction boards", go I think there is no better. I was actually going to go with swiftkey 3, but I just found it was lacking on skins, and customization. I like to be able 2 change the size, and width of my characters, (due to wide fingers), and skins are a great Addition
I tried Swift key 3, touchpal keyboard, go keyboard, and perfect keyboard, and ended up going with "perfect keyboard, bcuz the customization is very deatailed. I also tried swype style keyboard, but I found predictive to be the style for me.
I am running the Moto Phonton, so I won't be getting the 4.0 or 4.2 update, so is there anything else out there to look @??

Normally on my devices I use Swiftkey/Swiftkey Tablet for my devices (Galaxy Nexus and ASUS Infinity). But on the N10 I prefer the new Google keyboard with its swiping. I wish it had the better predictions of Swiftkey though... I bet Swiftkey Flow will be the best if both (also I think the Google keyboard is better proportioned for the N10.
What is everyone using?

Thumb Keyboard 4, in 10" tablet mode with some custom tweaks is my favorite by far. In 10" mode it is a split keyboard in both portrait and landscape, with a number pad and commonly used characters/punctuation in the middle (as well as long-press numbers).
Swiftkey Tablet is ok but a bit ugly IMO and lacks the customization features I've grown to love in Thumb KB. I don't use prediction that often so there goes a big benefit of using Swiftkey in the first place.
And I've never ever liked and never ever will like gesture keyboards, so the stock KB was turned off almost as soon as the device booted.
Swiftkey 3 Tablet is the best in my opinion.
Can't use a regular keyboard on an N10 due to the size of the screen and with SK3 it's easy to type with my thumbs in landscape mode.
You have the ability to switch to regular qwerty format if you wanted to.
Thumb Keyboard! The prediction / auto correction is flawless.
The customization is really nice...lots of theme / sound / haptic feedback combos to choose from.

How do you move the numbers on top? I can't seem to find that in the settings...
Guess I'll have to check out Thumb Keyboard

Under the Keyboard's Advanced Settings, you'll want to create a Custom input style (I use English (US) with PC Layout). Save it, and then set it as the default input language (may have to deselect "Use system language", then select the PC layout input, and then deselect any other Active Input Methods)
Main: SwiftKey
Secondary: Swype
Fun sometimes: FloatnSplit

I am a thumb keyboard fan. Very customizable. Swiftkey predictions were way off base whacky for me and size of keys was not customizable enough for my small hands. You can customize height, but not width, so using split keyboard in landscape mode didn't work well for me. Couldn't reach many of the keys easily. Thumb keyboard lets me customize both aspects, among many other things.

Hi everyone.
I was wondering if some one can help me with this problem that has been driving me nuts.
I am currently using the international version of the Samsung galaxy s3.
I am trying to find out how to get Chinese language to work when I type on this phone.
I had went to Settings>>Language and input>> Samsung Keyboard and had ticked on Chinese.
Although this allows me to type chinese, it is in the format of qwerty American alphabet keyboard. Is there a way to officially use default keyboard and non 3rd party applications to have the keyboard display chinese characters?
I am aware that there are 3rd party applications that do this and display chinese characters, but I prefer to use the default samsung keyboard with the swype ability.
I know the iPhone has this capability but not the s3 and I am a bit disappointed in this. I may have to give up on using the samsung s3 because of this problem.
Swipe the space bar to toggle chinese. Swipe again to go back eng

thanks for the reply but I don't think you understood my problem.
I am aware of how to type and that it allows me to type in chinese when inputting chinese language in my default samsung keyboard settings.
however when the chinese language is selected by swiping the keyboard like you stated, it does not display chinese characters.
it displays the default QWERT american alphabet.
I had preferred that it displayed the chinese characters instead of abc's.
I know there are 3rd party applications that make the keyboard display chinese characters, but it is not a default samsung keyboard and will
restrict you into using their programmed keyboard only. this is a pain since it is inferior compared to the default keyboard in my opinion.
i had preferred using the default keyboard.
I review Android keyboards as a hobby and I was itching to try them on the HDX when I realized that FireOS is hardcoded to have only ONE keyboard... the built-in one.
Is there a way to get a third-party keyboard onto HDX and working?
Sideloaded keyboards work just fine. Sideload one then go to Language/Keyboard then click on Keyboard Language and you can choose which keyboards to use. I have mine set to English (united states), GO Keyboard, and Sixaxis Controller since I was trying to get a PS3 controller working but it doesn't see the controller even after I type the mac address into the Pair tool on the PC.
swiftkeyboard and thumbkeayboard seem to be working fine... only thing is that, on landscape , the nav bar takes away quite some space out from the screen, so you end up having problems trying to reach the rightmost keys...
Looks like you need to disable navbar as full screen keyboard conflicts with swype and swiftkey in landscape

Not All Work
I just got my 7" HDX for Christmas and first thing I had to do was change the stock keyboard. I use one called Jellybean keyboard on my phone, but when I sideloaded it to my kindle and activated it, it doesn't come up English. It looks to be some middle eastern language, but when going into settings to set language for that keyboard it crashes. I'll have to try one some more to find a working one, probably a more mainstream like GO. Thanks for the assistance in finding where to enable new keyboards.
Got it. The newly installed keyboard would be hiding amongst the dozens of languages.
Fleksy appears by itself.
Swift Key or Google keyboard would be listed as English -- United States or English (US) or some such choices
Enable them and trial and error. Fire OS hides the keyboard details.
