Guest Sans143 Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Why wouldn't it do landscape? :P Most of the video blogs that I saw are in portrait and did not show landscape. Just saying since I am not too familiar with it. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cue_32 Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 (edited) Yes it does landscape just fine....and unfortunately Ive seen some keyboards do well in portrait and not in landscape. Edited December 7, 2010 by Cue_32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rahulkadukar Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Is it possible to have both Swype and this keyboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fester61 Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 I have both the standard 2.1 keyboard arrggghhh and the 1.6 keyboard uploaded on this forum by a saint. Switching between them is fairly simple so don't see why you couldn'y have swype and 2.3 keyboards. or have I missed something in how they are installed?

Guest nanostreak Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 http://lifehacker.com/5703147/keyboard-man...een-orientation Also something to consider. Eg swype in vertical and keyboard pro for horizontal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1.6 and 2.1 were standard .APK files and this new 2.3 one needs to be installed by using clockwork recovery, so yes they do have a major difference in the way they are installed and I have one question, can someone please make a video showing the new features in this keyboard because apart from the layout change I do not see any major change.

Its multi-touch...if you've ever used the DroidX hack on the Streak, you'll know the difference. I type on my Streak like how I used to type on my iPhone. Its very nice.

And can you link it please, am interested in getting the older one back, thanks. I did a search and here's the link to the 1.6 Keyboard. Its a custom one so it's not pulled from 1.6 ROM or anything. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?hdyw4b2cc4n94bc FOUND HERE: http://android.modaco.com/content/dell-str...eyboard-on-2-2/ BTW, it was Rahulkadukar that made this keyboard.

I've changed my keyboard a few times before and I noticed that it always changed\updated the LATINIME.apk in the System\APP folder. I made a backup of that.
