I have recently found the Full Keyboard app in the Market; it's great to use in the Terminal Emulator and SSH software. After you install it on the Tab it works great, fills the proper part of the screen. The problem comes in after you do a reboot, after the reboot the keyboard does not scale properly and leaves white gaps on the left and right sides.
This can be fixed by manually doing a Force Stop, and then selecting the Full Keyboard again from Settings. Does anyone have any ideas how to address this issue without having to Force Stop and restart the Full Keyboard app?
The application can be seen here: http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-hmw-android-fullkeyboard-npwE.aspx
I have tried using the Spare Sparts application to adjust the scaling ("compatibility mode"), but it does not seem to have effect on the Full Keyboard App.
I am still struggling with the above issue, if anyone has any ideas please respond. The workaround is rather annoying. Thanks!
One last try... does anyone have any thoughts?
I tried this on another Tab and had the same results, so I know it's not my device.

UPDATE:
I have found a keyboard called "Hacker Keyboard" in the Market. It is much much better for command line.

How do I install Swype beta on the Nexus One? I found http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2009/12/30/how-to-get-swype-on-android/ but it's only for Droid. Doesn't work on the N1 because the screen resolution is wrong.
It still works,I use the Droid version on my N1 without an issue - it'll give the error message about the screen size but if you press the text field again it'll pop up and work fine.
it actually DOES work, just not in landscape. Just close the error message and go to input portrait mode again and it'll work. I just turned off auto orientation to always keep my phone in portrait mode to avoid any crashes while laying down and it switching to landscape. There is an .apk file out there that says they have patched it but to no avail =P
Swype is my keyboard while driving (1 handed operation) but I use Smart Keyboard (free on market) for regular landscape typing.
What am I doing wrong then? I installed it, then the same error comes up about the screen size. I click start and when I go to type, no keyboard comes up.
On second thought, I may have had a bad apk file. I downloaded the one in the first post and got it to work.
Looks like it works sometimes. The error message is bugging me, though. There's also no way to hide the keyboard sometimes, unlike the stick keyboard (which you can drag down to hide).
When using Swype and latest Cyanogen rom I cannot use camera. If I disable Swype, then the camera works fine.

Just press the back button to hide it.
Just wondering if anyone here has the ability to get rid of the warning message and landscape version?
It must be a relatively easy task for an experienced dev?
This guy managed to fix it for Hero, Magic etc. and no nag screen and landscape works. Look like he will attempt to fix N1 version as well. Info here:

I would like to know too! Everything's working perfect but error messages pi... me off every time changing position.
What can we do?
I posted a fix for the pop up here.

Wont download for me !!! Just keeps resetting the page.
Anyone able to disable the error message? I am using the english n russian only version.
I'd prefer Swype, but other options exist...
I'd rooted my Kindle Fire and put Swype on there, and use it on my Evo (work phone) and on Incredible. So I'd prefer to have the same tool on all devices.
Two similar products that reportedly DO work with Nexus:
TouchPal Keyboard (free)
SlideIT ($5.99)
Both are in the Android Marketplace
Somewhere I think I've got the apk for ShapeWriter as well, and I used to like that one, so could be worth a test.
I'm not sure what the problem is here? I've been using Swype on my N1 for as long as I can remember, and have never had any problems?
Yeah...why not just download the beta from the official Swype website?

I second that. It's so much simpler. Detects your phone & offers the best suited version to download. All you need to do is register & create a username & password for yourself.

thank you for post
i was downloaded it but still have the problem
I am also having this problem.
I don't understand why there isn't a calibration built into the stock system.
Its rather irritating.
any update
you need to keep the pen at 45 degrees angle, this is strange but Samsung made this by default without any calibration setting
I've noticed two bugs with Swype on the Kindle Fire HD. Anyone else noticed these and have a workaround?
1. When using the Amazon apps, like the book store, Swype does not correctly fill text boxes, like the search field. The default keyboard and other keyboards where you select one key at a time work fine. But with Swype or Slide It you have to do double duty, selecting the letter, then confirming the letter in the autocomplete field for each and every letter. If you Swype out a whole word you have to confirm it in the autocomplete field, but then it only inserts the first letter into the text box. This problem seems exclusive to the Amazon apps.
2. In landscape mode the menu bar cuts off some of the keyboard on the right side. This appears to be a problem with all third-party keyboards.

2. Yeah, noticed that. KFHD is made to use its own keyboard. That is why Amazon made it a PITA to install and use others. I noticed landscape problems with SlideIT also but at least they let you adjust the size of the keyboard. One of the reasons why I sent mine back.

How do you get an alternative keyboard to work in the first place? I can't figure out how to enable SwiftKey...

You can only do it on a rooted device and I didn't find SlideIT to be very stable. It was OK at first then it would randomly quit on me. The thread is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1898390
Its done on your own risk, it can cause annoying force close issues and installing it again normally fixes it but the KFHD likes to be finicky.
aklemist and others who have successfully installed alternative keyboards-- have you guys upgraded to the latest firmware? I just upgraded to 7.2.3 and in the process, I have screwed up my swype license. I guess now that the stock keyboard is swype-based, there was some conflict with the files or something. Now whenever I try to type anything on my kindle, I get a pop up message saying "Application not licensed. This version of Swype has an invalid license and will operate with limited functionality. Beta users, please run the installer again. All others, contact Swype."
Anyone have a workaround? I don't yet have root reinstalled, and my options are limited since I have no way to type *anything* right now.
Hey together,
couldn't find an answer and the official WhatsApp support wasn't much of a help either, so here's my problem:
I'm using a HTC One, all stock, WhatsApp+ v.3.58 and SwiftKey 4.1.1.146.
Whenever I type something and want to add an emoticon, the Emoji window doesn't "replace" the actual keyboard. It just comes on top, which takes away a lot of space, is very inconvenient and forces me to first use the back button in order to send my message. When I minimize the keyboard and then press the emoji button, the layout looks fine.
I have tried it with the normal WhatsApp, the stock keyboard and also various versions of the respective software.I attached two screenshots, one is how it looks after I typed, the other one how it's actually supposed to look.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: Updatet SwiftKey to newest version. Same problem
I got the same problem.
I'm using a Nexus 4, tried both the original whatsapp and whatsapp plus.
Stock keyboard and Swiftkey, nothing seems to solve the problem...
Someone found out what's wrong?
I have the same issue with my Nexus 4 and HTC One too.
I've managed to solve the problem by disabling "Pie Control". Not sure if this helps.
Use the official app, when I remember right this doesn't work with WA+ or try to change the hight of the emoji area to the stock value

Hello, I'm on Cromi-X and running the Sixaxis app and a PS3 controller. I have no problem with the basic functionality - it works just like it does on all my other Asus tablets. However, I have found one kind of big bug and I was hoping someone else could check this for me on their systems. The problem I'm having is a crash every time I try to open up a background image to make a touch profile. This is the "Change Background" button under the "edit touch profiles." Every time I select "Change Background" it crashes (actually it says Unfortunately...has stopped), it doesn't drop back to desktop, only to the previous menu level in the program.
I can build a touch profile, drop buttons and joysticks and it will work, but it's very much trial and error process without being able to import a screenshot to overlay while you are working. Has anyone else seen this? I tried uninstall, re-install, closing everything else, etc. I've been searching and cannot find anyone else posting about this type of crash (on any system) so I wonder if it is something unique to the TF701T or maybe Cromi-X (I'm on Deodex 6.1 and love the rom). I am hoping that I am not the only Sixaxis user running Cromi-X 6.1 at the moment. Note that you do not have to have a controller on or paired to test this - you can create profiles without needing a controller. Thanks in advance.
Hello friend.
I was running your setup exactly... however I've never tried to create a touch profile. As you, I did find that everything else worked properly on that ROM with sixaxis. It's a great ROM! If I decide to flash back to it, I'll give it a shot and let you know. Sorry I can't help.

I've never used it before but it seems to work for me. Not sure if I am doing it right
Main Screen Select
Menu > Preferences > Touch Emulation > Edit Touch Profiles
Then Double tap for menu > Change Background
I have an option for either Gallery or G+Photos and I select Gallery then I find the image and it's good.
Gallery version is 5.1.20131213 which is the Asus stock version (I think)
Did you maybe change your screen resolution? I am no the default.
You know what, I think your reply might have helped me figure out the problem. I don't see gallery installed and maybe this program is calling it. I'll look back, but maybe the 6.1 version of Cromi-X has it on the removed app list. I'm traveling, so it might be hard for me to restore it, but I will definitely give that a shot when I get back home next week. Thanks for the help.

Seems sixaxis needs the gallery.... and sbdags removed it. He just doesn't remember why :laugh:
Yes, that fixed it. Weird. Thanks.

Not that weird. Devs tie their apps into an existing eco system. Why not use services that are installed by default instead of duplicating it? We custom rom users are a tiny minority among Android users. So we'll always have to find our own solutions. Which is part of the fun, right?

He does now! It's because Asus called it called Asus Studio (not gallery) which is more than just a gallery but is full on picture editing (bloatware)
Anyway - you can also add it back in via the asus spps installer as well via post two of the CROMi-X 6.1 thread
