is it possible to have more than 1 keyboard layout installed and switch between them? or maybe have the software keyboard have a different layout than the hardware keyboard?
anyone any idea?
I have never managed to use the hardware keyboard to write Greek characters but there are many options for software keyboards. I use Language Extender.
some guy told me to use PocketCM Keyboard, which i did download and install, but i just prefer stuff thats not an addon as it slows things down etc.
Hello Guys,
I have rooted my NC. Everything is working as expected. Now I want to put some app icons on Home but I can't find how to do that.
Also the Keyboard setting is not working. If I go to Settings > Keyboard the NC go back to the prevous screen. I need to stop the auto-correct or change the language for autocorrect.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Regards,
Jorge

You'll need a 3rd party launcher to put icons on your homescreen (launcher pro,adw, zeam...).
The keyboard setting isn't working because rooting switched it to a new keyboard. It should work fine when you open a text field. There are threads on here about installing a variety of different keyboards.
Thanks wvcachi, I have installed another launcher and now I'm able to organize the home screen. Now I need to solve the issue with the keyboard. The keyboard is working well, the problem is the auto-correct, the is changing my words when I write in another language (spanish).
Can I just stop the auto correct?
Can I revert to the original Keyboard on NC?
Thanks for your help.
I have the same problem, I need to change the language of the keyboard, but I cannot get into the settings. I've tried different keboards, but with none I can change the particular settings nor language.
Hello, I got the fix downloading and installing a GBKB.APK from another sub-forum here (not nook subforum, I think android Dev subforum) after install that I'm able to select and use the gingerbread keyboard. Now in gb kb there is setting button where you can add another languages.
I hope this work for you.

The language of auto-correct is tied to the keyboard. Autonooting gives you the Droid X keyboard with American English autocorrection.
You can install a Chinese IME, Spanish keyboard, AZERTY with French auto-correct, or whatever else you desire. As the previous poster mentioned, there is a modified Gingerbread keyboard for 2.1 that includes Spanish dictionary. You can search for it in the Nook Color forums (the keyboard is from another forum, but there are directions for NC here). It's a very long thread, but the directions in the OP should work.
You can install Smart Keyboard or SwiftKey from the market (and moving the app to the System/app directory), and then, from the keyboard, enter to the specific settings.
In Smart Keyboard you have to long press the ABC or 123 key to enter settings, and in SwiftKey you have to long press the mic key. There you can change the language or disable autocorrect.
Additionally, if you want, you can change the language of the nook color (so that all programs menus and dates and stuff appear in spanish) using morelocale2 from the market.
I've been hunting this issue on XDA but I've not found a solution, it's the eternal issue of keyboard switcher. I speak several languages, like a lot of people here. It is a royal pain to manually switch from english to french to spanish and back and forth. everytime i want to write in one language i have to change the entire locale.
So far, I found this:
-apowersms (if you go to setting, there is a language filter, which is very interesting because you can choose which language keyboard you need) (and the keyboard layout isn't so bad looking)
- softkeyboard (for the keyboard button, when you press it long, you can directly change to the language you want)
I'm trying to find, how to create a custom shortcut maybe to switch between the languages that I speak. something like this, so that I can switch languages for my gingerbread keyboard.
Does anyone out there have a better solution for my problem. let me know.
thanks
Using stock keyboard, go to the keyboard settings and search for something like "languages". Select the languages you want to use. Now swipe your finger on the space key to switch between the selected languages

Download AnySoftKeyboard (free), or SmartKeyboardPro (paid).
I use two different languages on my phone and have to often change from one language to another.
I use swype for english and samsung 3x4 keypad for korean. Changing from 3x4 to swype is fast, hold down the settings key and select swype. But changing the other way around, I have to long press swype, click change input method, and select samsung keypad. It's hard to switch when i'm writing in both english and korean in one sentence.
Is there an easier way to do this?
Such as configuring my language button to switch between swype and samsung keyboard? Is that even possible?
You can have both Korean and English in Swype and just press the language button to switch.

Swype doesn't have the Korean 3x4 keyboard
Hi,
I used to have a button (looks like a globe) on the android auto keyboard which could be used to change the input language between English and Hebrew.
somehow it button disappeared and I can't find how to get it back.
Does anybody knows how to fix that?
Hey! Did you find the solution?
