Dose any one know of a way where I could set up my phone to where I could set it to have swype when in portrait and a different keyboard when in landscape?

The easiest thing you could do is use a downloaded keyboard such as FlexT9 or SlideIt that allows you to type in Swype style or standard tapping keyboard all on the same keyboard without any menus. Just tap when you wanna tap and swype when you wanna swype. I do that on one of my phones

I know I can do that, but I really like using "hackers keyboard" in land scape and swype in portrait. Third would be especially nice if I could do that too on my xoom

Ok. What you need is the application called Tasker. Basically, it allows you to run things and change settings based on various conditions of your phone. Its an automation app.
One of the conditions you can choose to use is the orientation of your phone. So in Tasker you would set it to change tthe proper setting (keyboard) on orientation change and it will begin to do this on its own.
That's all I can think of.

I'm sorry it won't let you do it the way you want it to. I just tried it. The only thing I could get it to do was when I turned it landscape, to open up the 'Input Method' options. But that's a pain in the ass. I really am sorry it won't do what you need. That was honestly the only thing I could think of that would do what you want without using a keyboard that does both.
Heu dont get me wrung its a great app that I'm already hooked in.and will be on my phone fire some time to come. I wounder what it would take to write and app that will do it. I have some apps I've made, but most are informational, and one interactive to control my dvr. Gauss il just have to start playing with it

I've been searching for ages for a better keyboard on my Galaxy tab. Tried them all and remembered my favourite one years ago on winmo. TouchPal,its great and free. It cannot be beaten for the fastest correcting text input,just wanted to share this as I'm very happy to be using it again..

I guess when it comes down to it, you can't beat free , but i'm very satisfied with Smart Keyboard Pro. My favourite.
i like thumb keyboard wrks great on my tab
Smart Keyboard's not bad, but personally, I think Swiftkey's new Tablet Keyboard (although pricey) is amazing. Comfortable to use, good-looking and the prediction engine is amazing.

I tried thumb keyboard and swift keyboard but they don't seem to correct my bad typing quite so well as TouchPal when I write as fast as possible and I think it was swift keyboard, seemed to lose the word prediction when typing in stock email.

You guys should try the 2.3 Gingerbread keyboard. Liking it a lot.

Just started using Thumb keyboard this morning and it feels very comfortable especially when typing in landscape. Your hands need not adjust since letters are positioned in left and right side while the numbers are at the middle.

I also use the stock keyboard from Gingerbread, it has everything I need except in connectbot. i have to learn using vi instead of nano in order to stay on the stock keyboard. And is quite painful for every typo in mysql
Im not sure if this topic has been discussed here but wanted to mention it anyway.
I was amazed at how fast I was typing on the stock Samsung keyboard. The only thing I didnt really like was the settings key being on the layout. There were times that I was accidentaly pressing it which would disrupt what I was typing.
I consider myself as an Android newbie and didn't know there were alternative keyboards out there.
So I went ahead and tried Perfect Keyboard and wow, let me just tell you that I am typing with so much more accuracy and speed. I went ahead and purchased the full version.
I dont work for them or anything but I really recommend the app.

I personally prefer the Swype keyboard. I feel like its much faster than any typing keyboard.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I like Swype. Swyping is relaxed typing compared to playing arcade game with others.
I agree Swype also can make me hold the phone with one hand more lol

Can't stand Swype. I like thumb keyboard with the WP7 theme and sounds. Use standard layout. I've tried them all always return to thumb keyboard. Highly recommend.

Gave it a two week trial. Couldn't forgive the lag when initially typing. Drove me up the wall waiting on it to catch up. Other than the lag it was decent but still loses to thumb keyboard IMO.

Using Hacker's Keyboard from the market.

Buy the latest version of SwiftKey X keyboard phone version....
It is as good as Swype & it is my personal alternative when I am not using Swype!

I own Swift Key X and if you type slow the predictions are neat but it sucks when trying to type fast. Very inaccurate even with the fast typing setting.

What I miss from Swype keyboard is the ability that Samsung one has to detect you are using the pen and switch to handwriting. Swype + hand writing when using the pen, that's what I want
I really like the swiftkey x predictions but the spacebar is too narrow and I keep hitting the period. I love the split 5 inch mode of thumb keyboard - much more comfortable for me.
side note - when handing your phone to others, its best to use a non predicting keyboard as it can really throw them off.

Ics keyboard for me with aggressive mode.
Its really easy to type and corrects any miss presses.
Its available from the market for free.

anybody have FlexT9? i cant find it in my market?
I gave Swift Key a try as well. It seemed like it detected my Note as a tablet as an error prompt of some sort appeared when I initially ran it.
"Wrong version, this is a tablet. Please download the correct version" or something likr that. Worked fine but still ended up with Perfect Keyboard. Ü

Swiftkey TABLET keyboard people....TABLET...
Im using thumb keyboard for the split layout.
I am actually use QWERTY more than Dvorak but I just want to practice using Dvorak.
the soft keyboard can be changed using hacker's keyboard or Swiftkey but I can't sure how I can change the hardware keyboard layout(except buying a new one).
There are so many language options given with the default Asus' keyboard and CM9 keyboard but which one should I select?
BTW, can I just remove the android keyboard and Asus' keyboard if I use the dock? I'm currently using megatron v1.1.6.
Thank you very much.

I really wouldn't remove all soft keyboards, in case of nuclear apocalypse (your dock stops working ) you'd need it. As far as changing to dvorak the key mappings will be in your /system/ folder editable with a test editor, you'd have to find one someone's done or do it yourself, or perhaps an app exists.
I will keep using the software keyboards but I have so many in my systems. I I just wonder if it is safe to remove the Asus 'one. To thanks

I'm using SwiftKey Flow.
You can flow couple of words at the same time, which is awesome, and you can enter ?/! very fast!
Samsung keyboard. Only one with swipe, handwriting and number row. AFAIK.
For me the Samsung continues input is a very superior option. Even with fast and sometimes inaccurate swiping it manages to get it just right most of the time. One of the best keyboards I've used. It's just so fast and accurate.

Samsung keyboard memorize your frequently used sentence even. You enter the first word and it will keep predicted the entire sentence. Love the default one with continues input
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
The default keyboard is the best IMHO. Every other keyboard, irrespective of its benefits, leaves out the benefits of Note 2: lacking in s-pen support etc.
The only irritation with the default keyboard is that there is no autocorrect. I have to manually choose the correct word from the list and it doesn't autopick the selected words when space is pressed.
For me samsung the best.
Anyone find a way to enable Swift Key or Swype tablet modes? One of the best options on the default keyboard is that it has one-handed control. Swype and swift key have this mode as well but only for tablets. I miss easily swyping symbols. Perhaps the only way is to root and change the DPI?

I have been using SwiftKey since it first came out. Would try others but always came back to SwiftKey. For typing or swype, I just am not getting comfortable with the stock keyboard but would hate to lose the s-pen button. I will be a very happy camper if SwiftKey adds support for the s-pen.

SwiftKey 3 for me, since I type both English and German text, and the keyboard recognizes (and makes suggestions for) both languages at the same time.
Been using SwiftKey 3 tablet version for a while now.
Have to say it's the best I've ever used.
And it works very nicely with my 240 dpi mode.
Also nice keyboard when in landscape mode
I alternate keyboards randomly!

Swype is the reason for me to stick with Android, but their latest beta is ****ed up with dictionary issues, so I tried latest SwiftKey Flow Beta, and it has some issues as well, so for now it's Samsung's default keyboard with continuous input. But I'm keenly waiting for the next beta of Swype, which is coming shortly as per their mod.
