I used to use keyboard from 2.3 from the market and loved it but it had some glitches. I'm liking the Xperia keyboard in ics but I hate the size of the space bar and the minimize keyboard key in the left corner.
My question is if there is any way to modify the keys or size of certain keys

Does this beta app expire or is swype for life and not just for xmas? Sorry for that.... Only thing I am missing is the smiley's from the stock keyboard, but this is a rapid input method. A good quality car wax helps screen swiping. Anybody dislike it?

swpe is way better than the stock keyboard from the x10
sadly the only prob I see is the fact of not being able to select easier a letter to delete it
I love swype but it is not as great on the X10's rudimentary touchscreen.

Well the clearpad 2000 (?) just isn't very good. It often loses track of your finger which results in far more errors than you would otherwise have on a more potent digitizer.

It's not a clearpad - it's a Cypress panel.
How do you use the microphone icon in Swype? Should I be able to press it then just speak?

Just flashed gingerbread keyboard on my droid 2 but landscaping mode is small. Any suggestions on where to find the .zip that has the bigger landscaping keyboard? Btw I'm running latest apex rom if that matters
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
a fixed version was posted in the latest release thread for the apex rom which fixed the size while in portrait. Its still small in landscape yes, which I would assume he didn't want to waste much time on that for the simple reason that if you are already holding the phone that way you might as well just slide the physical keyboard out anyhow. Just a guess.
Thanks for the info. Ill try it out. Not many people respond to my messages lol but thanks

I thought I'd share this, I accidently swiped up on the keyboard ( stock froyo) and it reveals the number row and a punctuation row. Works in portrait and landscape.

They removed it in Gingerbread though.

Sorry, and I don't mean to be a killjoy or w/e the word is for forums.
But I'm pretty sure anyone who has had froyo knows this, I knew about it since (my) G1 days with froyo

I was having a problem with my tablet that I thought a update might sort so I rooted it and tried a few different roms but am still getting the same problem when am typing something. You know when you make a mistake and you can touch the area you want to fix by either deleting or changing a letter well when i do that the the line wont stay on that spot it just shoots of somewhere else every time
I have the same problem!!!!!

Indeed, sometimes becomes useless...pity.
What do you guys think about it? I loved it and I was using swiftkey on 4,2 now im using just the default one but most of the time ending up pressing "b" or "v" instade of the "space bar"
Here's some pictures for the people who didn't update their Z yet
Btw you can only use 3 language at the same time

I was using the T9 (12 digit keypad) for texting up until just now when I changed it to qwerty keyboard - tried to change back under keyboard settings, only to find the T9 option wasn't there anymore?
What can I do? It's driving me nuts, I can't type using qwerty properly
That keyboard is actually using SwiftKey technology under the hood. Sony added a new skin and some different options a customizations and repacked it as Xperia keyboard. So what you are using is SwiftKey "by Sony", Samsung also did that with the S4 and Note 3. It is great because we have the greatest keyboard on the market out of the box.

I don't get it though because I had the T9 previously before the update, & after the update it was still there. I managed to untick the options several times until now, & the option to use T9 was gone. I really don't like the small keys (& I have extremely small fingers!) - is there a way to get the T9 back or is this a bug from Sony?
EDIT: Ok another weird thing is that I managed to kinda fix my problem. I CAN use T9 but not under the international keyboard (default one), but under the Chinese keyboard instead? I guess I'll have to stick with that for now.. But before the option was DEFINITELY availble under the international/default one. No idea what has happened =/

It's almost free, you didn't pay for the keyboard but you paid for the phone so you can consider that a gift.

Because it uses SwiftKey's word prediction technology which is one of the best out there. If you ever used SwiftKey (which is a paid app) you could see how great it is.
By the way, is there a way to add other languages than English to this keyboard? I like the T9 more than full keyboard.

Yes read my post, swipe down from the top bar & choose a different one than xperia default. I can't find any other ways to get the T9 back on the default one so the chinese 1 will have to do for now.
I might give it a go again. I like it visually better than the google one I use, but ever since the google one came out I've found it incredible, especially how well the predictions work. I found the Sony one was just horrible when the phone came out, it would miss so many words that were just one adjacent letter out. The google one I find flawless, and on top of that, the second word prediction is just incredible.
It is a big improvement but is missing one great feature from Swift Key. I like to be able to shorten the length of time to hold down a key to use its secondary input.

I too love the new keyboard and the only thing to say is that the spacebar is a bit too short. They should make the 12!? Key smaller cause I always end up pressing full stop inatead of space. But then again that could just be me.

Don't normally like to moan but looks wise I think it's great but the swipe function / predictive is terrible for me. Never thought it as a problem before.

Yeah, would love it if we could move the smiley key to where enter is to make the space bar bigger, and to be able to reduce the time it takes to long press a key to get the symbols. It makes it almost useless
