Have any of you tried the GB keyboard on the vogue? I've been wrestling with it for a while but haven't had much success.

I quickly tried it yesterday, and the keyboard was all "mushed" together at the bottom, didn't really have any time to try figure out whats going on with it
i got it to load on my vogue it worked but it took up 3/4 of the screen your going to have to wait till the source drops to get one that scales to 240x320
Wierd, all I could get to come up is the squished down version of it too. The kb works on the wildfire which has the same resolution as we do.
This may be a little off topic, but I was wondering if there is any way to have 4 rows of letters on a android keyboard rather than the current 3 rows of letters. I find that I often mistype words because the keys are too small. I would prefer to have 4 rows of letters which would mean less letters per row but wider keys. Does anyone know if a keyboard like this exist?

You can try a compact keyboard. I'm not sure if the HTC IME keyboard has it. But I do have Ultra Keyboard which has the "swiping feature" and the compact keyboard. PM me if your interested.
I got the keyboard loaded up and working on my vogue and it does take up a lot of screen real estate. That is not such a bad thing in my book, it's a bit easier for me to type on in portrait mode than the stock froyo keyboard. Doing the sequence of resolution changes was a pain in the @ss on this tiny screen.
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).

Not sure when I'll get to mess with this, I don't really use it so it's lower priority for me

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!

New Version on Market
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?)

So you'd like to see more space between characters?

Are you thinking possibly a slightly lighter color for numeric characters vs alpha characters or are you requesting a theme more like the stock keyboard altogether?
Ok, love this keyboard with a couple of exceptions :
1) space key is too close to the bottom, I keep touching the home key or the notification bar...
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...
Other than that this is awesome.

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?

I like the idea of a lock mode!
Thanks for the quick response! Got my split back, oh yeah!

New Version on Market
Turns out the last couple revisions didn't get released (goofy new multiapk changes to market publishing).
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.

Awesome. That's all I gotta say...

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.
Anything you would like me to check or test?

Good find. I think I found it and it should be fixed now. I had the problem and the fix works on my Xoom. After you get updated let me know if you can still repeat the problem.

It survived a reboot, all my settings are still set. Great job!
I really dig this keyboard!
I'd even pay for a key or something,

Can you turn the number row off to get the letter keys bigger.

You can adjust the keyboard size to make it a little better, just go to settings and in the Samsung Keyboard settings the option is at the bottom. But there doesn't seem to be a way to remove that top row unless you switch to another keyboard, like the Google keyboard or something.
Hi everyone! It's good to be back. I just switched from an iPhone 6 to a Galaxy S6 (G920F) few days ago but I am not new with rooting and other things in android. I just have some questions and I need help.
1. How can I make the stock samsung keyboard to always show uppercase keys (like the one in the iPhone). I do not like using 3rd party keyboards. I want the stock samsung keyboard to NOT display lowercase keys. I WANT IT TO PERMANENTLY DISPLAY UPPERCASE KEYS.
2. How can I remove the number row on the top of the stock samsung keyboard? Like the one in the S3 that does not have a number row at the top. I prefer not having the number row.
Your help would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance!
So you want an iPhone keyboard : | . Just install ai.type keyboard and an ios 7/8 theme for ai.type . then personalize the keyboard and there you have it
I want to keep the stock keyboard.. i just want to remove the number row in it. And also disable the keys from displaying lowercase keys.

i dont think it is possible, maybe another keyboard is the only way
You cant do those things trough the stock keyboard configuration. Get used to it or try a different keyboard.
Not possible bro .. At least from what i know ...
You came from the iPhone huh? I can tell lol. Try experimenting with new stuff! There's a ton of better options vs the Samsung keyboard. Google Keyboard is my personal favorite. If you know how, you can make that thing look like any keyboard you want lol.
