I have to switch the keyboard in settings. Then there is a little gear on one of the keys of the default keyboard. You just longpress that and it will offer you to select input mode. You can select the keyboard you have installed yourself.

On mine, my keyboard has an EN button on it. If I press that it gives me a shortlist of languages. If I then press Settings I can then alter text input settings - can't see arabic though...I'd expect you'd need an Asian ROM for that...

[Q] Arrows in Keyboard IME from Samsung

Hi guys!
I have a question about the SGS2.
On the latest version of my OLD HTC with rooted ROM Reflax it has arrows under the keyboard.
While the SGS2 doesn't have a trackball/pad, I would like to have a keyboard with arrows so I can go back/forward/up/down in my characters in my text.
Before the SGS2 I had the HTC Desire that one has a trackball/pad.
It would be awesome if someone know an app, or would develop one for me and other people!
(Sorry for my bad english grammer, Im not the best with it..)
Greetings,
RedFeather
AFAIK the stock keyboard doesn't have this option but I didn't use it long enough to discover it. Try 'Gingerbread Keyboard' on the matket by Steven Lin which is free or Perfect Keyboard which is paid but lives up to its name. Both have the required option if you swipe up in the space bar.
Regards.
Thanks, and i see this is placed in the wrong forum? How to replace it to Q&A? (New to XDA)
Someone else got an option?
Smart keyboard pro as the ability to put arrows on the keyboard.
Used it on my MIUI roms and worked great.
In Settings you enable or disable it and with a HTC skin it looks exactly the same.

hmm sounds nice.
I saw it in the market, it is paid. Whats the difference with the Trial version?
And else, do you have the pro version .apk for me? (A):$
Swype
The built-in swype keyboard has the ability to show arrow keys.
To get them you need to swipe from the swype-key (bottom left) to the "sym" key.

[Q] Is it possible to change keyboard in CM7??

Hi
Is it possible to change keyboard in CM7 to phone keypad ??
it is really difficult to send message with its default keyboard...
tnx
Yes of course you can,just download one from market then go into language and keyboard settings and enable it. Then bring your keyboard up and long press on text screen and change imput method to new keyboard.
Alternative is to remove latin.ime from system apps and replace with other keyboard.
Big buttons keyboard is quite good, used it for a while but stock is more responsive and the new ics keyboard posted in apps and themes thread is awsome.

How to change QWERTZ keyboard layout to act like QWERTY?

I just activated a Blackberry Priv. However, i now notice that the lovely hardware keyboard is QWERTZ layout instead of QWERTY.
How do you switch the language/layout of the hardware keyboard? I cant find any information on this with google - only information on other blackberry devices. I don't get it, since I have the keyboard set to US English in the settings panel. There doesn't seem to be any other option regarding the layout?

My keyboard is QWERTY as it should be.
1) Did you update Blackberry apps from the Play store? If blackberry apps don't show in play store, then just search for "blackberry" in the play store and all needed apps will appear and update button will show.
If you have already done the first step, then go to settings>language & input>blackberry keyboard settings>input languages and here might be an update to the specific language.
I've updated the blackberry software, but still no options seem to effect the hardware keyboard. I can change the layout of the software keyboard, but it only seems to apply to the software keyboard.

By the way, do you see the on-screen keyboard when physical one is open?
No, I don't see software keyboard on screen when the hardware keyboard is out. Am I supposed to? That seems like it would be undesirable. I see just three suggested words along the bottom of the screen.
any luck with this? i would love to change freom qwerty to qwertz and have actuallz physically changed the keyboard already... but the setting to change it is missing
Same here. Just bought BlackBerry Priv with psysical qwertz and found that there is no tweak keys for that. I would like to change these letters virtualy, to press z and get y and opposite. How to do this. Help!
This will help solving it, install and swap y and z https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=innerlife.keyboard.multilanguagekeymapredefiner

Thanks, this worked! But now the number 7 is mapped to the Z key (alt + z), and alt + y brings out parenthesis. It's not a huge issue, but it seems there is not way remap alt + y so it will output 7 as it is in the original layout.
Also it seems there is no autocorrect available at all when using this keyboard? I was relying on autocorrect to put the right accents in Spanish, I can't seem to be able to enable this again even if I switch the language to Spanish.
In the end I created a custom QWERTZ to QWERTY keyboard for AnySoftKeyboard. It solves the issue of having Y mapped to parenthesis and Z to number 7 I mentioned above.
I made them for both English and Spanish (the Spanish one lets you write "ñ" by pressing "n" three times).
I also made a custom build of AnySoftKeyboard that make predictions work with the Key2 hardware keyboard. But if you just want the remapping, it works the fine with the official AnySoftKeyboard, just predictions don't work unless you use the on-screen keyboard.
Only tested with the BB Key2.

Hello raymccoy,
i tryed your workaround, but its not working on my Key2. I installt the Anysoftkeyboad from Your attachments and your languages apks. But my physical Keyboard does not change the layout. Can you tell me the steps to install?
Thanks
Marc
it does not work for me either. it does not remap anything, furthermore it crashes
I have to correct myself! it works, but it's necessary to install the last version of the app (from Playstore) to prevent it from crashing... AND it's necessary to show the virtual keyboard, otherwise physical keyboard remapping will not take place. Thankfully, the virtual keyboard can be made really tinyn so it will not be too invasive on the screen (see screenshot). Tested on BB Key2.
