Greetings,
I have just wondered which QWERTY keyboard is the best to use in your Xperia Mini?
Do you use Swipe? Does it work on Mini well?
I wouldn't like to type SMS, emails etc. with old-fashioned way (using original numeric keyboard).
Thanks for every hint,
Cheers,

Nope swype doesn't work, but u can try shapewriter, which works similiar to swype.
others which works well are AnySoftkeyboard(which i am currently using).
Better Keyboard.
Smart Keyboard pro
Both are good
Thanks. I just tried AnysoftKeyboard and somehow it doesn't work. I have found it in my phone settings under Locale & Text with, it's ON, QWERTY Latin SET, but apparently I missed something. (I also checked the quick button in the right corner of the screen when writing a message).
Any suggestion how to make it work?
click and hold on any text input window, then you will be able to select input method - anysoft keyboard
@sirmarcelot - that's what I've needed ;-)
Touchpal
I am a big fan of Touchpal from my old phone (DSTL1) era. it works like a charm in my new X10Pro also. It brings one valuable feature to X10 the missing up/down scroll and editing features while typing/editing text/mails etc along with my fav cootek 2letter keyboard for easy typing.
The problem with the mini is, that the original keyboard shows the keys AND the inputfield/sendbutton. 3.party keyboards only show the keys, so that you will get problems with the inputfield in the original sms app... thats funking ****.
I would prefer a qwerty keyboard only in landscape mode. unfortunately there is no landscape mode for the default sms app.
I'm using HTC touch input on X10 mini pro, and it works wonders.. Worths a try if you are looking for qwerty keypad.. And it works with default SMS app
try swiftkey.
it's amazing how it predicts next word...
i think it's the best keybord for x10 mini (tried a lot... )

However it's the one i use as well, very impressive.

This should work, try it.
* Simply download and copy the apk on your SD (or push using adb).
* Install it with package installer (or adb install -r method)
* Once it is installed, go to Settings>Locale & text
* Disable Default Input
* Then enable Touch input
* Change touch input settings if you need or want.
Thank you very very much...
but I is a little tricky to change the language :-/
but now, it works

Hi everyone.
I bought one of these phones and I came to a problem. Before this one I had a Xperia X8 and it's keyboard had an useful feature: while typing, if I made any mistake it suggested words, ie, imagine typing 'hekko' and there was a suggestion 'hello'. The android keyboard doesn't have any dictionary, I have to insert every single word, the LG keyboard only gives me "predictions" (if I mistype any word, it won't give me any suggestion).
Do you know any keyboard app that does the same of X8's?
I'm using Smart Keyboard PRO. It's not for free, but it's work realy nice for me. Becouse I'm from czech, find support for this minor language is really hard, but this keyboard have it! I also wrote some time in eglish and it works also fine. I love many of possiblities how to configure this keyboard.
It cost $2.73 so it's not too much I think. If you are not sure, you can also use trial version of this keyboard for free.

Does anyone know where to get a functioning multilanguage Swype for the LG? I managed to install Version 2.6.47.11856 on my HTC Desire, but on my girlfriends Optimus One it crashes when I try to type something.

I installed Swype on Opt1 and it works very well without any crash.
What version did you use? Probably I missed to tick something in the settings

I have installed your own version using a file.apk.
The file name is swype_2.6.47.11856_HVGA.apk , If you want I can upload the file.apk on some free host and so you can download and install it on your opt1.

Ahh, I tried to install my WVGA-version on the Optimus 1, so that's probably causing the app to crash! thx!
i got the apk by searching swype_2.6.47.11856_HVGA.apk in google
IMHO you should give a try to HTC Ime

Hello,
I must say that until now the LG keyboard is the best. It has the xt9 feature and is capable to write in so many languages. Don't know what issue u have with yours nut mine works like a charm. Some times misses a word but nothing dramatic.
Cheers

In my previus phone (galaxy i7500), the Android keyboard was able to autocomplete.
I don't know why the Android keyboard on the O1 is lacking this feature.
I'm using the LG keyboard aswell. Took me a bit to come into it,but it's really good and has an autocomplete feature.

add words automatically
this is how you add dictionaries automatically .
folow the instructions :udm.adrianvintu.com
you can find it in the market as well but you should first read from the link above.
Anyone using Swiftkey app for their keyboard? Please post some feedback. Thanks!

How are those "suggestions" different from the LG keyboards autocorrections (which IIRC have to be turned on in the settings menu)? IMHO the LG keyboard is pretty good at guessing what I meant to type.
ive got big fingers....any sugestion to a better aranged keyboard and some "large" letters?

I second the motion for Smart Keyboard. I use the FREE trial.
While you are at it, you may want to try out "autotext" which is a great "text expander". i.e. you type "xda" it can suggest: "forums.xda-developers.com" if you configure it to.
I use mine to expand signatures, email addresses, and even templates.
plus, it supports macros: %d is expanded to current date, %t to current time.
additionally, you can resize the key heights, if you want to see more of the screen or want a bigger key for bigger fingers.
also set it to learn new words, and use your Contacts Dictionary.
It's a great keyboard.
-------------------------------------
You may want to check WiFi Keyboard as well, if you have a wireless router setup at home, it will enable you to enter from your PC Keyboard over wifi.
-------------------------------------
If you do not know yet, long press on a "text box" will allow you to switch "Input Method" (a.k.a. keyboard on the fly)
Good day! Hope this helps you out!
Resizing Smart Keyboard Keys

you can resize "smart keyboard" keys.
Home Screen --> menu key --> settings --> Language and Keyboard --> Smart Keyboard Trial --> General Settings --> Key Height
And as I mentioned in a previous post, you may want to check out "Wifi Keyboard", if you have access to a wireless router and your PC. That way you get to use a real keyboard.
Good Day! Hope this helps!
I am trying to port xperia mini pro keyboard from original stock rom to cyanogen, but still i did not manage to have good news...
the fact is that we sk17i users need it because of autocorrection on physical keyboard which is not supported by android stock keyboard. also i love t9 in portrait with slide keyboard closed... so it would be great to have the original keyboard software
what i've done for now is to install it: i can see it in the keyboard list, but as i select it, it keeps crashing...
i am sure i am not considering some files, but really i dont know what i could flash....
can somebody more experienced do something for all mini pro users?

Thank you for your thread! I hope someone will help us, because i also want this to be working, but my main purpose is the emoticons (smileys) to get work with hardware keyboard, the SYM button. ( LIKE THIS)
I tried to do this and asked for help but everybody says: it is impossible because of the copyright...but i dont think SE will come here and see my phone what keyboard i use...
So come on DEVs MAKE IT! And CM10 will the best ROM ever. Thank you! :good:
sym, globe, and blue square (for special letters and numbers) and also the caps lock are not working good on other keyboards, also missing the autocorrect feature which is essential for languages like italian (full of stresses on vowels)
so having the SAME keyboard as the stock firmware on cyanogen would be GREAT
Check my thread buddy. Xperia flavour on CM10. I include the Xperia S keyboard for Cyanogenmod. But auto correction for physical keyboard still not working and m working on it otherwise everything is working fine.

couldn't have put it better myself,
+1 for this feature
also accents are not in the right order when using CM10 roms,
example : "SYM + e" should give => "é" as first choice not "è" with azerty frech settings (becaus "é" is used way more often) and this minor detail has a major impact on whether I use that rom or not...
thank you for the tip, but as long as there's no autocorrection on physical keyboard, for languages such as italian is very slow to write words with correct accents...
so if we could be able to run stock mini pro keyboard it would be great

Hello dear xda members,I tested all the themes that should change my gs 3's appearance to an gs 4 but didn't find anything that I could like.Everything has a bug,and if someone can help me with this,it would be really nice.It would be great if the statusbar will be transparent with white text color and non-transparent notification icons.The app themes and the settings menu also white,and...you know,the basic Galaxy SIV appearance.
P.S Please tell me if you already tried it and it worked nicely

Hi guys, since i installed the cyanogenmod 11 weekly-4 my display refuses to rotate. I tried to calibrate the sensors but the problem is still here.
