Hello,
Friend (who isn't on XDA) has an ME175CG and there was apparently some software update over the past week, which according to her is now enforcing a split keyboard in landscape mode. The new OS version is 4.4.2. Is there a way to disable the split functionality while remaining with Asus's keyboard (rather than switching to Google Keyboard or other third party products?)
She prefers using the swype method to traditional typing but it's very difficult to do on a split kbd
Thanks
V.
ps. the device is not mine so I won't be able to post screenshots...

Hey everyone,
Is there a native Android Chinese input method? I know that iOS allows you to write the characters. Is there something similar that is not third party.
Thanks!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
My dad was wondering the same thing. Unfortunately I don't see it in my friend's Galaxy Nexus, so I would say no, it does not have native Chinese input and you'll need to download a third party one (unless custom ROMs have it, then you can go that route).
There is, however, native Chinese (Cantonese and Mandarin) voice typing. So you can select "Chinese, Yue (Hong Kong)" and when you press the voice command (on the keyboard or for Google search) you can search for things by speaking Cantonese which is pretty cool.
HTC does a good job of filling in what Vanilla Android is missing as HTC keyboards (probably only in Asian versions of HTC phones) have pinyin and hand writing options on their custom keyboards. Pretty accurate recognition too (I have it on my HTC Panache).

Google's Pinyin IME. Hope this helps.
I Have a problem with the built-in Notes App. When creating a note, the default justification of the text is from right to left (probably for arabic users), even though I am only using the english keyboard.
Preferrably, the APP should detect the keyboard type and change justification based on the language, and allow an option to quickly change.
See attached pic for reference.
Anyone else facing this issue? Is there a way to set the default justification for new notes to Left to right?
I tried changing the keyboard, English only, Arabic English, French, Swift Key. I even changed the system language from English to French, but still every new note starts with right to left formatting.
My device details:
HTC One X (Quadcore)
Android Version: 4.0.3
HTC Sense: 4.0
Software Number: 1.28.415.9
HTC SDK API Level: 4.12
HTC Extensions: HTCExtension_403_1_GA_7
already tried a reboot?
Yes I have restarted the phone. Only thing I haven't tried is to do a factory reset.
I wonder if this is isolated to phones sold in this region (Middle East). I will test the sample phones on display at the store and post my findings here.
This issue is small and insignificant, but hopefully this post can be useful to others
Hello there. I'd like to use physical keyboard and mouse(with OTG) while I chatting or surfing with my phones, however I faced a problem at G3 while doing this. G3 doesn't support to Turkish characters(Ğ,Ü,Ç,Ö,Ş,ı) while using the physical keyboard. It already has Turkish language pack(LG Keyboard) and more keyboards which include our characters. Htc gives an option to physical keyboard like ''Choose input mode'' when it connected but LG Doesn't or I can't find it. Could you please help me how I switch the physical keyboard's language? Thanks..

I know that this an old post, but I got the same problem with my G2, and found the only solution (I guess). I had to download a app to change lay-out. Since I got a Logitech, there was no problems finding one. Might be far more difficult if you are using other manufacturer.
Unfortunately, I've got the same problem.
I can 'switch' languages with Ctrl + Space (or was it Shift + Space?), but the keyboard layout doesn't change (even though the language icon changes (DE -> EN -> FR in my case).
I hope they'll fix that when Android 5.1 comes out for the G3 (if it ever does).
No solutions to this?
Hi there
I recently got the 7.1.1 update on my Nexus 5x.
I am using the native google keyboard with the slide functionality.
However since the update i can no longer slide-type words that uses the danish "æ" or "ø" letters (located on the far right and middle row of letters) when i slide a word like "kære" it will suggest various other words that doesn't contain the letter "æ" like køre, kort or similar. I can slide words using the special character "å" fine.
Also if i tap the words out i can use the letter "æ" and "ø" fine. Just not when i use slide.
I tried installation a different keyboard, Swiftkey, and when i use that keyboard it works fine. I just prefer the native keyboard.
Also i have Google Nexus 5 and on that phone everything works fine.
I tried to do a factory reset but the problem is still there.
Does anyone have any idea how to make this work again?
Download the Gboard APK from xda. It's an updated version of Google keyboard, works great for me now.
Hello, everyone.
I have used my OnePlus 5t very happily for quite some time, and now I have an unexpected task for it.
I need to use it with a keyboard and no mouse. I bought a Bluetooth keyboard, and successfully managed to type in a simple text.
However, I met a few problems with it.
So far I use Android 8.0, and this is what I have found:
Landscape layout cannot be set as permanent. Which is damn inconvenient, because the default launcher of Android 8.0 doesn't work in landscape mode.
Switching keyboard layouts is a pain. I have 5 keyboard layouts (GBoard with Russian, English and French, Google PinYin for Chinese and Google Japanese for Japanese. By trial and error I found that Win+Space change the layout, but this key combo only switches between the first two keyboards (not layouts !), effectively binding be between Russian and Chinese inputs.
Other keyboard shortcuts are weird and don't make an understandable system. Luckily, Alt+Tab work as expected, but I haven't found a shortcut for neither the 'Android back' button, nor the 'Show Desktop' button. Curiously, Ctrl+Esc works as an old 'Android Menu' button, which saves me a lot of hassle. Neither Win+L nor Alt+D work as 'place the cursor to the address bar', however, 'Ctrl+t' indeed opens a new tab in Firefox.
My question therefore is the following: who would recommend the best custom or stock ROM to be used with a keyboard?
I know, on my old Asus the old CyanogenMod could force the landscape mode everywhere. Can the more modern LineageOS do the same? Or maybe the last OOS (with Android 8.1)?
Is there any guide on how to use Android (or Oneplus 5t) with a keyboard?
I need to use Magisk (with Magisk Hide), so I'd at least prefer an OS which pretends to be legit.
Thanks everyone for suggestions.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
CM is EOL.
LOS is relevant and yes it can force landscape.
AospExtended is the ROM that I'd try.
