Currently my favorite keyboard (harcker's keyboard) works, but the right side of the keyboard it cut off by the navbar. Other keyboards like swype have fixed this issue and I imagine it's not that hard to do. If anyone knows of a fix, please share.
But for now, we should all vote for this bug so that Klaus notices it.

Let's get this thing working!
Remove the nav bar. Add LMT. Problem solved.

You could use button savior. I actually prefer LMT, for more customization.

hmm, I already tried this, but I couldn't get LMT to work (I'm running kinology). It just kept saying "LMT" has stopped.
Is there an apk for lmt?
Edit: found it.

Visit the Kinology ROM thread in the 7" Android Development forum and pose the question to the ROM creator psych0phobia. He has fixed the keyboard issue by adding a right side padding code. This may be able to be applied to any keyboard. You'll have to ask.

It's not a generic thing. The AOSP keyboard happens to have side margins in the layout files. Unfortunately, they specify a single value for both sides. I had to hack the .smali a bit to make the value only apply to the right side. (Yes, I probably could have just rebuilt from source with my change, but it was faster for me to just hack it in.)

Is there any way you can release the keyboard as is as an apk? sick of having the p cut off on mine but don't want to jump to Kinology yet as I had a close shave with my KFTT last night, thought I'd bricked the bugger, no file explorer would read the /data folder and i got the red triangle on one boot (didnt persist once i'd rebooted though)
Would be much appreciated.

If this has been posted before please delete, but I believe I have solved my issue with the physical keyboard missing keys. I turned off all the software keyboards and swype it seems to have done the trick.
Problem is I have to change it everytime I switch batteries. Is there a way to do thi?

Yes, I've read that swype (enabled) is most likely the culprit.

Bingo, it can be annoying at times. When typing long emails and texts, be sure to go back and proofread what you just typed (good practice anyway). Turning off swype did seem to help a bit.

I was able to type several paragraphs with all the soft keyboards except for Swype disabled, and I don't have the missing key issue anymore. I simply disabled the Samsung and Android keyboards. I use Swype way too much to disable it.

I use keyboard manager to help with this...
Install keyboard manager along with touchpal from market free (completely).
I have Swype enable and have it set as my portrait keyboard
Then when I switch to landscape keyboard manager services changes my kb to touchpal in a fraction of a second without any interaction.
What awesome about touch pal is that it offers some of the best spelling correction word prediction with our hardware keyboards. Takes a while to get used to but by far is the best solution for me as not only does it fix the random keydrops but it also spell checks and suggests words on the fly.
I was using the Windows Mobile Version for a long time before changing to android, but absolutely love Swype for portrait one handed.
In a previous post I made I pointed out that the lag I found to be software and not hardware... if you long press on many letters you will get a popup instead of repeat keys these seem to be the cause of the drops, after using touchpal, if you long press a letter it quickly repeats.

Trust me I have been using CooTek products for years they are a reputable company... Chinese or not.
PS you could try with another keyboard but I think the key is touchpal, all i can say is if the keyboard your using gets rid of the OS default popup that happens when you long press on a key it should work. I wish there was a dev that could just figure out how to disable this all together as it happens when there are no soft keyboards active,,, I am sure this is the cause to our missed keys try ee or oo in words 7/10 times it will miss if you are fast this is because its trying to determine the length of time the key was pressed to display the box of options.
I can't get keyboard manager to recognize touchpal as an option...any ideas?
NM, have to play with the actual system settings first

Did you guys install the Enhanced Keymaps (read the OP) in Aroma? If so, that key gets mapped to TAB, rather than www/com. Enhanced Keymaps also maps a bunch of other things to unused keys on the keyboard so read up on it.

Does swype offer the predictive text as you're swyping like the stock keyboard? The last version I've tried of swype didn't.

It works if you have a titanium backup to restore, but its not working at the moment via the download/swype installer option. I think they are aware of the problem and working on it (from the Swype forums)
Missing it but the stock android one is doing an OK job in the meantime...
I installed swype beta just fine.
I get to the screen where it lets me choose a version to download but never loads the choices.
Try flex T9 instead. Installed no problem.
For the people who were able to install swype, is swype keeping your custom words? I'm noticing that I'm unable to add custom words to the personal dictionary. I'm not sure if it's a bug with the latest swype or it's just incompatible with the nexus 4.

Well it worked... but it's version 1.0.3.5809. Isn't that a pretty old version? Don't see some of the Swype connect options that are available in the latest beta.
It's one version old and still works with theme chooser. The new version has its own theme chooser thingy.
If someone with the newest version would go in to data/apps and find the com.nuance.swype.input-1.apk and upload it that would be great too.

@eniris - Thanks a lot!
I'm always wary of files people I don't know post, so scanned it with both ESET on my laptop and Lookout on my Nexus 4 to be sure. It's clean, and it works perfectly - it's version 1.3.1.9274.
Swype is perfect as a keyboard, but the new Android keyboard's speech recognition is better (it's real-time vs waiting for the Swype one to process, and it's nice that you can pause and easily record more). Now I only wish there was a quicker way to swap between the Swype keyboard and Google Voice Typing. When you're in an input field, you have to pull down the top menu, tap "Choose input method", and then tap "Google voice typing." It's way more cumbersome that just hitting the little icon, but doable. Maybe I'll just get used to the Swype one.
Anyway - thanks again eniris!

Sorry for posting here but it is only place I can as it's my first post.
So I've turned to XDA as I thought I would bring my TF101 into teh world of JellyBean.
Following the excellent guides on here I easily rooted and flashed the thing with Team EOS Jellybean ROM.
Went like a dream and a big thank you to the people who have invested so much time and effort.
I have a strange issue though:
Type in the address bar of the browser or in a Tapatalk post the keyboard pops up
Type one letter and it minimises.
I touch to type again and it appears
I can only type a few letters (sometimes only one) before it minimises again
this continues ..
The keyboard is basically unusable. Anyone had a similar issue?
Sounds like you are using the TeamEOS 4 ROM.
From TimDuru's page is notes:
- Default AOSP Soft keyboard crashing if using auto-suggestion
=> workaround: Go to the keyboard settings and change to Auto-correction off + Show correction suggestions:always hide.
You can also fallback to gapps 20121229 (no swipe feature with that version though)

I have same kind of problem but with Opera mobile browser. Text input in address bar works fine but input for any other input boxes in websites is pain in the ass. I manage to write one or two letter for example in login screen when keyboard vanished. That is strange since Opera uses its own keyboard layout.

Yes I also tried this, I did it from a diffent link but the launcher actually runs off the Google search app so it should be the same experience and its great, only thing I don't like is the fact that when I hold down apps to move them on the home screen when in landscape the tablet flips orientation and it is annoying. Everything works in portrait though.

When you open app in landscape mode , touch the navigation buttons button then pull down the notification bar and lock the auto rotation, it should be stop rotating.

This is because HDX has a "reverse orientation" compared to most tablets. So what happened is the app rotate to what was "normal" landscape, then autorotate 180 to proper landscape.
There's a patched launcher that implements the reverse orientation that's a part of the HDX Gapps V2 (forgot which topic) but I have a feeling that this may need to be an Xposed module that "patch" the launcher itself.
