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.
Upgraded Keyboard
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

Unfortunately it can't be done on the stock roms or ones based off of the stock Rom. It's due to the nonstandard settings app they decided to include with the tablet. Some of the core API calls have been removed.
Slide It
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9248453&postcount=2732
I asked the same question regarding swype. I've tried it Slide It also and the keyboard is really big, but it's wide, which I like. Unfortunately, some screens will not bring the keyboard up because the height is too high. Shapewriter sizes the keyboard in the original size of a phone, it works and installs, but it's still very small. Ultra Keyboard has a similar problem, except it put the keyboard in the middle of the screen.
Slide It seems to the best option for now.

Using it right now as I write this, I'm using Zpad Clean .3 though.
I had the Droid 2 Multitouch KB working a few flashes back. Worked well but the letter/numbers were all tiny labels on large keys. Think I'm gonna try and "theme" it to look better on this larger screen.
Smart Keyboard Pro is working great. Love this one since you can make the keys bigger like the ipad.

Zpad rom. You can get the it from the market. I love this keyboard. I've been using it on the Evo for quite some time.
I'm using the regular android keyboard with the language in the space bar. I enabled english and Spanish in the settings. It seems to work but the dictionary never changes. In the settings it states that the dictionary is available! Is this a bug??
I am using tnt lite. With clockwork recovery .8
Thumb Keyboard has saved some hand cramps for me.

I'm on tnt-lite and while I can get Better Keyboard and other to show up using Root Explorer to drop the APK into system/app, but when I do that with thumb keyboard, I can select it but it just forces close every time.

Ultra Keyboard is not on the Market when viewed from the Nook Color (only the "dictionaries" are).
So I went on my phone and used Root Explorer to grab the apk from data\app.
I pasted it into system\app on my Nook Color and changed the permissions (rw-r--r--).
After a reboot, I can select Ultra Keyboard from the Nook Color Tools app, but going into any text field, the keyboard never appears.
What am I doing wrong?

Another thing to try is to copy system/app/LatinIME.apk to your sd card, then change Ultra keyboard's name to system/app/LatinIME.apk. Reboot.
Might not make a difference, but worth a try. If you end up with no keyboard, just move your backup back where it was.
I don't have any keyboards. What happened?

Thumb Keyboard works on the Nook COlor and has some of the best tablet features I have found -- including cursor arrow keys that work! It has several alternate keyboard layouts which all seem to work on my Nook Color -- except one standard QWERTY which failed to display the bottom row of keys that included the key to press that switches back to the layouts that work ... now I am stuck trying to figure out how to get out of the current layout ...

I was actually just able to get it to work by copying the .apk into system/app with full permissions and then installing it from there. Didn't have to mess with LatinIME.apk and can switch back and forth easily.

I'd love to know if you figure out the spacebar and menu buttons disappearing for the thumbs keyboard.
Edit: So I figured out that you can use Titanium Backup to wipe data and that resets the keyboard back to the large phone setting that allows spacebar and menu access. I cannot get any of the tablet keyboard options to work. None have the menu or spacebar option. I wanted the Thumbs keyboard because of the arrows. Unfortunately I can only find the arrows in the large phone keyboard which has a really weird layout. If anyone has any tips I'd appreciate it!

I actually emailed the developer and they said they were working on sending out updates in the coming weeks and are aware of the problems with the tablet layout. He suggested deleting the XML file in the folder /data/data/com.beansoft.keyboardplus/shared-preferences and reboot the nook, to reset the keyboard. But using titanium backup might be quicker.

Sadly it does not have arrows.
I'm working on a new free split keyboard designed for people who use connectbot or have other full keyboard needs. It's out on the market now. I've heard there are problems on the Galaxy Tab 10.1. I'm still waiting for a logcat from someone with a tab to send me a log cat. It currently only supports 1280x (xoom) resolution devices. Any suggestions on changes to the key layout? I'll probably be adding a Dvorak mode soon (the original version had it).
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.doubtech.inputmethod.latin&feature=search_result
This is an early release of a free Holo themed split keyboard. It currently only supports 1280x800 screens (Xoom, Iconia Tab, etc).
Notable Features
* Selectable Themes (Holographic, Gingerbread, Stone)
* Multiple keyboard modes (split, full, and one handed)
* 100% customizable key and key label color combinations. See the "Colorize" options in Theme Settings on the keyboard preference page.
Keyboard Selection Gestures:
* Swipe right or left to toggle keyboards swipes must be pretty large (avoids accidental keyboard changes)
Change Log
Added support for setting key background and label colors.
--
Fixed a bug where keyboard wouldn't reload after a full system reboot.
--
Removed gesture mode in favor of using swipes for switching keyboards. Gestures were preventing some multitouch capabilities from working.
--
Added ability to change keyboard theme (see Keyboard Theme option in preferences).
Rearranged keyboard so space and other functions are farther from the notification bar.
I am trying it out now and its so far better than the tablet keyboard free I was using. I like the predictive text, but it lags a little.
Been checking it out for the last couple hours. Buttons are a little small but I really like the look and function. Great job.
I like it because it flows more with the HC UI and design.
I know it's an early build so I took that into account.
Right off the bat, you can tell that it just LOOKS nice. Functionally, I have only a few issues which don't take away from the effort that the Dev is putting into this.
The keys are a little small so there is more room for making typo's.
The auto-correct needs some more polish.
I use Thumb Keyboard 4 and like the ability to switch between 1 of 3 layouts (Split, Full and One Handed).
There is a bit more wasted space between the key sections which could be used to make the keys slightly larger.
Regardless of those minor issues, I have been using it all day and quite honestly am getting used to it and am liking what I see, a LOT.
I'll keep this installed and updated to keep an eye on what comes out. A lot of promise and if this is a preview of what else this Dev can do, keep an eye on their other stuff!!!
Ok, why do keyboard devs HATE putting a comma key on the main keydoard sceeen? LOL!
Oh, other than the comma thing, when pressing and holding the backspace key, it does the repeat.
Also, when ending a sentence, doing a dounle space, it does not perfoem an auto period.
Does not auto capiltalize the letter i when placed on it's own.
I'm going to keep using it though!!!!!!

The keys are that small so there is little stretching to reach the main keys. I could possibly make this customizable, but that would be down the road (not a simple task).

What do you think of the layouts on the attached screenshots for one handed mode?
For full I usually just switch to the regular keyboard, but it wouldn't be hard to add a full keyboard mode as well.
I love the look but i would love for:
Fast backspacing (only one at a time right now)
Make the .com and ?123 larger buttons
And possibly make the letter keys a little?diffdrent from number keys as it is a somewhat hard to tell
Put ! On the main keyboard
Other than that amazing!

I fixed the problem with backspace not repeating.
New Release
I put the latest version on the market. It includes a new full keyboard and a swappable one handed keyboard. You can now swype or use gestures to switch between keyboards. Let me know if there's anything about keyboard layouts that you would like to see changed.
Great work but there needs to be a little change between letters and everything else. The different colors make the stock one easy to use. If you improve your ease of use, you can start charging money( and possibly donating it to your favorite charity?)

Ok, love this keyboard with a couple of exceptions :

2) I accidentally switched it to full size and I want it split again...I don't even know how I got it to full...

There are several ways to switch keyboard modes.
* There is a keyboard button on the bottom row of each keyboard that will switch to the next keyboard mode. If you want a list of keyboard types (Split, One Handed, or Full) you can long press the keyboard key to get a popup menu.
* You can also switch keyboards by swiping to the right or left.
* You can go straight to the split keyboard by drawing a S on the keyboard
Would a lock keyboard mode button help with the accidentally swapping keyboard problem?

This version includes:
* Ability to change themes. People who like the gingerbread theme can now switch to it if they go to Keyboard Settings->Keyboard Theme
* There's now space between the spacebar and other core bottom row keys and the notification bar.
* You can disable gestures so you don't accidentally change keyboards or you just don't like gestures. (See "Disable Gestures" in Keyboard Settings)
* You can lock the selected keyboard so you don't accidentally change keyboards. (See "Lock keyboard to selected keyboard?" in Keyboard Settings)
* Colors on space and other control keys have changed in holo mode.

New version out. I changed the gesture method for switching keyboards. Using actual gestures was breaking multitouch features of the keyboard so I switched to using swipe gestures for switching keyboard. This method is also less sensitive so you are less likely to accidentally switch keyboards.
I think I found a bug. Might be the xoom or the rom not sure.
Issue is if I reboot, I lose the setting for this keyboard. I tried to re-enable this keyboard in settings but it was not in the list. I had to uninstall it after trying to clear the cache in applications which didn't work.
Only uninstall/install brought it back.

Touchpal has a Russian language pack that will change your keyboard's layout to the Cyrillic lettering. And you can easily change between layouts on the fly without closing the keyboard.

Well, I will try SKP tomorrow. Also, about #3 (permission change) - I noticed that Touchpal apk I copied into system/apps has rw-rw-rw. Should I remove writing permissions "group" and "other" or I can leave them as they are?
Sure, you have to remove write for other two groups, this is the point. Try it with your keyboard. it may help.

Finally, I was able to get it working. It looks like it did not install properly first time - that's why 'lib' folder was empty. After I re-installed Touchpal I've got several files there. I copied them into /system/lib and after reboot I was able to switch to Touchpal keyboard with Nook Tools.
After that I realized that to be able to switch to Russian Touchpal needs to download Russian language pack and it always fails to do it from it's settings page. However, when I manually downloaded it from CooTek site and installed I've got Russian keyboard working!
The only question I have left is about keyboard itself. When I switch to landscape mode by rotating my Kindle the keyboard correctly changes its location staying on the bottom of screen, But, it does not extend it's width keeping it exactly same as in portrait mode.Is it normal or there is a setting somewhere I'm missing?
Anyway, thanks everyone for your help.
That is definitely not normal.

This is how all keyboards work on our KFHD, except stock Amazon keyboard. I think those keyboards doesn't support 'hidding' navigation bar and use all screen width to display the keyboard. As i understand, keyboards from market should be updated to work properly. I don't know any device, where navigation bar is popping up and then hide...
Still stock Amazon's keyboard is the best. Is it possible to modify keyboard apk to add language change button? How hard is it? I am sure that this kind of modified Amazon's keyboard would be very helpfull for all not US users... Just if somebody know the thread where we can ask for such modification, point me please! :laugh:
I‘m using space bar to toggle between layouts. I unistalled all third party keboards and Amazon one works like a charm for me.

I did try your method, but it didn't work for me. I did install keyboard pro, but after that, long press in Amazon's keyboard give me an option to change keyboards, but not the language. As for now I have 4 keyboards installed.

Wow! That's even better! Thanks a lot!
Hi all,
Ever since I have a GSA I have been searching for an option to change what happens when i press the menu button. Before i had a HTC One S and i really loved its application switcher. I was wondering if there is any way to get the application switcher open on pressing the menu button, and then show the menu on longpressing. I know that the CM10 diego is working on supports it but it is still in ALPHA so i do not want to install it for daily use. Anybody any idea how I would achieve this on any other ROM?
Thanks

Find keylayout file and edit it.

Sorry, should have mentioned. I already tried to do it through that file, but first of all. I couldn't find the key mapping that corresponds to our hardware key, and second, that leaves me without any functionality to get the options menu to appear since longpress is not handled in that file

Now that there is a pretty good cm10 build this issue has been solved for me
