Hello,
I was wondering if someone can help me. I am new android user. So far I was blackberry 10 user (Q5 in my case) and I've used on the physical keyboards, and now when I was forced to move on android I am so desperate because I can't find any touch keyboard which is nearly comfortable as physical keyboard.
I am mostly looking for the options which SwiftKey and Gboard have but with much more wider keys than I am getting on Huawei P Smart 2019 with 6,21".
Mostly all keyboards which I have tried have the option to change the height but none of width of the keys.
Big Letters Keyboard is one of the rarest keyboard which I like so much, but it has nearly 30% of the options of SwiftKey or Gboard.
Please look at the screenshots below, which I have made on my 6,21" of 4 keyboards I have installed.

Gboard imgur com slash a slash r2PncDK
Big Letters keyboard imgur com slash a slash 5q4nl91
Grammarly keyboard imgur com slash a slash wHwpB5H
My question is, because with my fat fingers I am correcting nearly every word on android touch, is there any possibility to change the width on Swiftkey or Gboard, or is there any keyboard which looks like Big Letters keyboard or Grammarly, but with the options like SwiftKey or Gboard?
I am for now forcing my self to use Gboard, because I need such options, but would like to have much fatter keys ?
Thanks in advance.
P. S. On my beloved BB10 Q5 with curved physical keyboard, the typing was phenomenal, but I don't have enough money to buy BlackBerry Key2, and that's why I am stuck with Huawei P Smart 2019, which is also ok, but with such typing on "the glass" will never be near any BlackBerry 10 or Blackberry Android with physical keyboard.

My wife is looking to upgrade her phone and wants a smartphone but not an iphone. After looking around she's deciding on the x10 mini series.
She's a bit old skool and still prefers predicitive typing and not a proper/virtual keyboard.
Our question is if you can still use the old numeric/predicitive keyboard on the pro like you do on the non-pro version. We've tested a few devices and noticed that in the messaging app it forces you to use the slide out keyboard, is this so? or is there a setting to stop this?
Basically she likes texting/typing with one hand and only will use the keyboard if typing an email if she really has to..
Look forward to the answer.
Thanks

Yes, you can
You can install an app call Smart Keyboard or Tiny Keyboard to have a Full QWERTY on-screen keyboard. (Or you can use the default on-screen keyboard of the X10 mini pro)
You just slide out the keyboard whenever you want to
i use anysoft keyboard, which is free and is the only one i found a portuguese dictionary for (i am brazillian). do those cited support using the system dictionary, or do they have different languages?
SmartKey board supports user-defined dictionary but does not support any other languages
I Always use T9 predictive on my Mini Pro, it comes with the phone, and i didnt need to install any other app
I have used many Qwerty keypads-Softwares on my Mini but at last felt very comfortable with the default t9 predictive keypad..
Adding words in it is very very easy....
BTW.
I have seen the mini pro and the only additions are:
+Qwerty keypad(Not that great. For those who just want hardware keys go for it.)
+UI works in Landscape mode also
+BETTER BATTERY BACKUP(dunno why)
Cons are:
-Abit heavy
-an ok keypad
-It looks really thick and bulky
Personally if you are ok with these above factors then go for pro.
Else go for just the mini
I own it and its just great- Except for battery backup
Having just ditched the Nexus S for this I'm left pretty disappointed with the keyboard input, especially when using prediction and typing with the qwerty.
The text entry box seems to jump all over as suggested words pop up and the completion / auto correction and general overall user friendliness of this keyboard is not a patch on the Nexus S.
Any maybe can install the Nexus S keyboard instead (stock android Gingerbread)?
I've had this in my archive of apps, try it and lemme know what you think. I'll have a look for a newer version tomorrow morning if you like this one.
clicky
You absolute star!!!!
That's fantastic, makes typing soooo much more pleasurable and IMO easier!
Thank you VERY much
If there is an updated version that would be interesting to try.
Thanks again bud!

Hi all
Is there a compact qwerty version of this?
Love the phone but I'm pretty desperate to get a compact qwerty keyboard like the one on my Froyo HTC Desire. It's maybe a big finger thing but I really struggle with full qwerty.
Cheers
Can somebody tell me if it is possible somehow to turn voice input from stock keyboard? I looked in settings but couldn't find it. Also, do you use other keyboards? I got used to use HTC IME by jonasl, but now on 1280x720 it is obviously to small for the screen. I am testing Smart Keyboard now which is pretty fimiliar to HTC IME and has the option of voice input. I don't like Swipe as I never swipe, got used to "click" symbols. I would continue using stock keyboard if not the lack of voice input.
Sent from my Tapatalk using freaking awesome LT26i Sony Xperia S.
I use smart keyboard Pro. Been using it since the X10 days, love it.
Im using "Ice cream sandwich keyboard free"
works well, and gives you the voice input button there too
I'm typing quite a bit quicker on this keyboard as well, seems to be working for me.
give it a go
I've always used thumb keyboard on any android device I use. Has good customization options and keyboard themes.
I use ICS keyboard full ..
It have a good arabic letters layout, and I use gestures to change language, close keyboard , and delete last word ..
I works great in this big screen and just take a little space of the screen ..
even I already purchased Swiftkey X, but I feel more comfortable with ICS keyboard ..

Hi,
I am configuring a tablet for my grandparents, and I am struggling to find an Android keyboard which arrange keys in alphabetical order (A B C D ...) instead of QWERTY.
I am not looking for a keyboard with combined keys using dictionaries like dialpad/T9 (which would be too complicated for them), I just need a basic keyboard with one virtual key per letter.
I thought that this would be very common and easy to find, but it's not
The only applications that I found are :
Keyboard for Senior Citizens : would be perfect but does not scale up correctly on tablet.
Keyboard for Dyslexics (lol) : seems to be exactly the same as the "senior" version, did not try because it s an other pay app and has same developer, screenshots and description.
Kids Keyboard : Scale problem in landscape on tablet : too small.
Alphabetical Keyboard : takes the whole screen in landscape on tablet.
Simple Large Button Keyboard : Scale problem in landscape on tablet : too small.
SlideIT English - ABC pack : layout addon for SlideIT keyboard, but I don't like the suggestion panel remaining on the top.
Dextr Alphabetic Keyboard : the only functional from the list, but I would rather use a design closer to a traditional keyboard.
If anybody knows a better keyboard with ABCD order or a keyboard which would let me customize the layout, I would be very interested.
Best regards,
Laurent

looking for this too
I have a Samsung Relay (Android 4.2.1, Keyboard Slider) and a Motorola Defy Pro (Android 2.3.7, Blackberry 9900 shape) as backup.
I notice that soft keyboards give prediction for hard keyboards, but the Relays' stock soft keyboards (Swype & Samsung) don't come with predictive text for its hardware, physical keyboard (LG Shine Plus, Android 2.1, had it...) like the Defy Pro's soft keyboard (Multi-touch, It gives 5 or more suggestions).
- I've tried the HTC IME 2.2, but it doesn't seem to work for me
- Swiftkey software, touch keyboard provides "predict text" for hard keyboard, but only gives 3 suggestions, has less configuration and has a size of 30MB
- AdaptTXT is a paid app, but has a 30-day trial
So I was wondering if the someone could Un-Firmware-Lock Defy Pro's soft keyboard? (I have the apk on my Relay, but can't install Or is it illegal so it doesn't install, Defy Pro is so small its soft keyboard is probably only a predict text bar...really wish I could configure each key output)
I have the file, but have problems uploading so maybe I should archive or email
