Verbage:

Keyboard Manager allows you to customize what keyboard (input method) appear on input based on your phone orientation.

It displays the keyboards you have enabled on your android device, and let you select one per orientation (landscape/portrait).

As your phone switch orientation, the app automatically switch the keyboard.

Requirements:

- Rooted android device (app was tested on Samsung captivate 2.1)

- Root Explorer app, or similar app that allows you to edit the permissions of a file.

To install:

1- Download the app (KeyboardManager.apk) on your device sdcard.

2- Using Root Explorer, move the apk file to /system/app

3- Using Root Explorer, edit the file permissions like below:

-- User: 'Read/Write' checked

--Group: 'Read' checked

--Others: 'Read' checked

4- Exit Root Explorer
