Keyboard resizing - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys I know changing DPI works on some elements but one exception is the keyboard. Is there anyway to change the DPI of the Google keyboard?

It can be done with app settings Xposed module on some keyboards but the ultimate effect will not be what you're wanting. It makes it smaller both horizontally and vertically and buttons generally don't line up properly

Its just the logical thing to do lol you change the DPI to make things smaller but the keyboard ruins that experience lol I hear the Swype keyboard has resizing built in but not sure to what extent and I'm not paying 99 cents no matter what for a keyboard lol

I am not sure but I believe your refering to swype.
Swype well... it's in beta now. You can find .apk's for beta versions for different screen sizes resolutions, some of which seem to work better than others. XDA doesn't allow anyone to post links to swype .apks until swype leaves beta. The swype developers got pissed off that so many versions were posted here in the dream sapphire forums. I'm sure if you google you can find one that works on this resolution though
The droid x comes preloaded with swype, just go to menu>laungauge/keyboard, and check the box for swype. No need to look for the keyboard. If u have a droid x u have swype.

*sigh* Guys I know what swype is. The Captivate that I played with the other day had its own implementation of the multitouch keyboard, that is what I'm talking about.
yeah i know which one you are talking about. it looks exactly like the iphone keyboard, and i do mean exactly. jon4lakers did a comparison on youtube of the 2 phones and you can see them side by side at 19:47. i know they have a skin for the galaxy s look so i'm sure someone is working on the keyboard.

LCD Density Changer The App?
I am using the free one From thE Market and it works amazing. I have it set to 180 and there is much of a change. Widgets look really small tho! Give it a shot!

Thanks for the replies, guys. I'm too cheap to pay for something so simple. So, I whipped out the old adb pull, notepad++, and push method.

I'm using Launcher Pro. So, the widgets are resizeable.

180 is way to small, and also doesn't function right... I would press on something and a blue bar would pop up where I was touching.

280? You mean 180? Your sig says Desire Z. 280 would be giant on the NS, I'm using 215 and it looks nice. I noticed that anything other than stock 240 results in some banding issues on some window headers, such as the gray banner on the notification pulldown.
LOL, I tried out 280 to see what it looks like and the homescreen icons are so big they're rubbing up against each other.

I totally agree with the banding but I can't stand large text and the amount of icons you can fit in the 240. I have 5 home screens (5 icons x 8 icons each).

Am I missing something?
This lagged like hell on my TB and has no editing KB or one with convenient numbers.
Is there a swipe gesture to bring up other stuff or something like in swype?

Not sure what your referring to but i know with the tb when you double tap on a word to get the other words to pop up, the copy paste and input pop up opens also..
Blocking the words Swype is suggesting..
when you Swype with this keyboard it leaves a list of words to choose from.. no double tapping needed.

Edit: pros survives reboot, you can use the stock messaging app ( spacing and auto caps work)
Cons: no editing keyboard, you'll need to use the stock editing. (Long press on a word and use the window to get to the letter you want or use the pointer and drag to the spot you need to edit)
With the day of use I have in I'm pretty impressed there aren't any bugs. and it seems to have learned my words already. And if it doesn't the list above that it builds scrolls and has had the correct word in it.
I'm now used to the stock editing, where before I would ignore it and thought it was redundant. It is easy to use and I don't see this as a fault

Not to sound cheap or anything but 5 dollars is a little much for a keyboard.

I've been using flex T9 for nearly a month. Push the flame icon for text to speech. I love it!

I can't see how you could call it warez if you can pull the apk from a dump. Sure, it's in the market but why spend 5 damn dollars on it if you can get it from the double shot rom. Makes no sense to me. Glad I found this thread before the apk got pulled.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Just downloaded the apk will post it when my computer boots up since it is readily available for free.
Edit: Just attached the file. Obviously if any mods believe this to be against some sort of license feel free to take it down just believe since: Rom = Free, File is inside Rom, File (Should) = Free.

I finally after hours of work i have managed to port a Sense 4 Style Launcher to our Xoom this may not be everyone's cup of tea but i hope you like
V2 is slightly different and now has a new looking menu system. if you dont like this use V1. i have also made a few changes to the resizing just to smarten things up a little more
See pics below and remember if you like please say thanks
Special thanks to

Im pretty sure its 160 the standard DPI
Is this specifically made for tablets? I used 160 dpi and its to large, I went down and used 120 which seems really close but still off.
There is another one for 190 dpi which fits, but has some transition lag.
This as far as I could tell was super smooth even though it did not work properly on my device, droid incredible. Regular dpi 240.

Sorry this is specifically rebuilt for the Xoom and would need to be modded for other devices
If you send me a screenshot I can try to edit to fit your device

Here ya be.....
[COLOR="Red"]MOD Removed link[/COLOR]
Xda has been told not to link swype.apk and to use their www.beta.swype.com/ since its free to sign up and get updates.
Appreciate it.. reflashed it and totally forgot to save the working one I had.
Just in case someone needs it. Heres my original post with the working swype apk.

Try setting swiftkey portrait and landscape key height to large. I use the one for phones, and and it works fine. Almost as good as the keyboard on my playbook . The settings are under advanced.

Yeah am in the same boat, what are we doing wrong? Do I need to root the tab first?
It didn't work for me either, says screen res is not supported.
Looks like its a waiting game...

Personally, I would like to use swipe in portrait, and swift key in landscape. I really wish someone could port the blackberry playbook keyboard though, that one is great .

I've been using Thumb Keyboard for a while now and it works fantastically, you can setup different keyboard layouts for portrait or landscape with lots of themes and custom settings (like height and width of the keyboards as well, not to mention custom letter combos) Its great!
