Hi, apologies if this is already being discussed - could not find a thread on it. My new goal now that I have voice search enabled is to get a keyboard enabled that would enable dictation entry of things like emails, not just search bars. I've heard of NookColor tools being used on other versions of the kindle as a keyboard manager, and I'll try that out myself but I wanted to see if anyone has already had success here using that or some other way. I'm wondering, would any version of the ICS keyboard be a go?

There is some discussion here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1898390
I have tried Go Keyboard, SlideIT, and SwiftKey 3 Tablet. They all could not display properly when I went from Landscape to Portrait Mode.
Be careful, this is an area (Changing default keyboards) I have seen a higher number of Bricked Kindles.
Same issue. In landscape the nav bar renders over the keys making it difficult to hit the P using hackers keyboard + android layout. Still worth a shot tho.

The first thing I would recommend is for you to download alternate keyboard application from the Google market.

You can download Swype Beta at beta.Swype.com. If you are using Dolphin be sure to switch to Android mode, or it will not download. Swype Beta uses Dragon dictation and its the best out there. Period.

I use touchpal, downloaded and installed from play store, which seems to work fine. But I use the tablet in portrait mode only.

I just tried the Jelly Bean and Ice Cream Sandwich Keyboards. Both worked great in the Portrait Mode, as soon as I switched to Landscape, the keyboard split in an unusable fashion. I will continue to test different keyboards.
I've been happy with the "Hacker's Keyboard'.
I got go keyboard working. But when you switch to landscape mode you loose letters on the right. But there is a build prop edit that removes the home button bar at the bottom of the kindle. Then you can use button Savior application to get your home button and back button back. The thread is in the themes and app forums

Thank you for the feedback, I will give this a try.
Does anyone knows if the small black bar at the bottom of a screen is TOUCH SENSITIVE?
Maybe we could use it for soft key navigation, but first we'll need to know if that part has got proper touch panel underneath. If it has, we can modify drivers and try to use it.
Maybe someone disassembled RAZR M/I and has got some pictures. It would be great to make that bar touch sensitive.

I think it's just a part of the screen bezel.
Like on many other devices (ie. Nexus 7)

Yes it is, use Lmt launcher or search in Omar Rom's thread for the line in build.prop that disables the softkeys making that black bar disappear. He told it to someone there.

He meant the black glass panel beneath the softkeys, I think it may be a remnant of a capacitive key idea that didn't materialise because they went with on screen software keys. Back to the OP I doubt they would then implement a touch panel (an unnecessary cost) under the black section,although the thoughts have having an extra touch sensitive panel would be nice.
I just want to ask you guys if you have experienced this. The pull down navigation bar is not working. And sometimes it'll flicker between activities and freezes. I need to push the power button off and on to work again. I tried some google search and answer and I can see that other owners of HTC One are experiencing this problem as well.
I have tried the drawing mode using HTC Function Test *#*#3424#*#* and also in editing photos using the draw option, but the line is not drawing in the pull down navigation bar. It seems like there's an invisible bar that covers the navigation bar.
Anyways my phone is not rooted. I am using the latest version of Kitkat 4.4.2 with htc sense version 6.0. My phone is not under warranty anymore because it's already 1 year.
Is there any solution to this problem? Thank you guys for the answer.
My watch doesn't have a problem yet but i
found an enoing bug when answer and reject a call. I have to swipe severel times for this to work. I don't know what am I doing wrong. Is there a moment I have to swipe cause in the right and left screen appear and dessepear very fast the two variants. I have to swipe at the right moment or is just a preview of you're choice and you could swipe anytime? Anyone has this problem? Is there an app that could replace the original with buttons? Sorry for my English. Thanks in advance!

I am in the same boat.
I find out that everything work great if I don't swipe from margins. The swipe must begin from 3/4 of the screen.

I came across a post in a forum in my country. The baseline of the post is the following:
The touch problem for the menu and the task bar touch response not working anymore is sometimes thought to be related to software, as it seems in some cases that the unlock touch screen is responsive in the concerned area of the screen, or sometimes the touch screen is still working in the recovery wheras it is not in the ROM.
The forum post claims that using this ROM AIM , he regained full functionality of the navigation menu. To be sure of the relation, he reverted to another ROM with the same Kernel and lost the functionality again. Reinstalling the AIM ROM with the given Kernel the issue was resolved again.
He used a recovery after V3.0.0-0.
In his post he asked for the others in the thread to test this on their devices but no one did respond or tried out!?
It seems to me quite interesting and looking forward if someone else has the same outcome.
This is the link to the Post .
Meaning if the touch is navigation bar or status bar is still working in recovery, the aim ROM might be a possibility to live with.
I can confirm that the botton softbuttons do work with this rom, on oreo they didn't.
Top of the screen still not working, but simply fix by using nova launcher and gestures
