That is exactly what I was looking for! :D

Thank you. I just bought it.

I have a question though. I have a HTC Desire Z aka G2. It has a hardware keyboard. Would it be possible to add an ability for it to have keyboards for those two modes and for the third mode - with the hardware keyboard open.

The reason why I'd like to have it is because I'd have Polish Programmer Keyboard V2 for hardware keyboard which allows me to write polish letters like I'd do it on normal keyboard (ex. right Alt/Fn+a = ą) and then HTC_IME and/or swype for the other modes.

Thank you for your work!

I have the Desire Z too, and would appreciate the addition of a mode for the hardware keyboard...

@ne0fhyk , I have been running 1.1 flawlessly on my rooted Epic 4g with 2.2.1 OS. Question i have and would consider buying the app if this feature could be implemented... Since I have a hardware keyboard I was wondering if you could have an option in landscape to allow selection of no keyboard or a null keyboard (back from WM days).

The reason behind this is many Epic users like Swype for portrait mode but causes our physical keyboard to skip letters sometimes. Right now I have v1.1 running Swype Portrait and TouchPal Landscape, I think it would be more efficient though if i could just have one SIP (Swype) and choose to disable it (unload from memory) when in Landscape...

Wondering your thoughts to see if this is possible.
[Android Apps and Games] Boushh:
Hiya there. Just wanting to let you know that I've bought your app for use on my VZW branded Galaxy Tab and it's not working. I get the following two error pop-ups Unable to start Keyboard Manager when I press okay to that I get unable to retrieve system information. What/where does your app look for the kb information? I am running a ROM/Kernel I have made for myself, so it might be something I have omitted from my system causing the problem, in which case I would like to fix it. Is there a more descriptive error log or anything anywhere I can look at? Anyway, this is going to be very cool once I get it working, TIA for your help. Also, let me know if you need any other info from me or you would like me to test anything out. I see that one person in this thread has reported success with your app and their Tab and another has reported failure, so maybe we can get it working 100% on the Tab. :)

[Android Apps and Games] dp92180:
Why don't you just try it, if you don't like it then get a refund...very simple.

If you are like me and love Swype in portrait but hate it in landscape then this is a must have.

[Android Apps and Games] lexluthor:
Probably because of the 15 minute refund limit now. If you try an app and it crashes your phone or stops working after a few minutes, you could miss out on the refund.
[Android Apps and Games] dp92180:
15 minutes is plenty of time for this app.
[Android Apps and Games] jankok78:
No it isn't... I just installed this on my rooted Desire and it hangs every time I start the app. So then in rebooted and tried again. And it still didn't boot correctly. And gone is my money and all I can do is just install the app...

Thank you google for reducing the refund window to 15 minutes... What was that about not doing evil again? :D
[Android Apps and Games] TheHunterOfShadows:
More of a cut on google in this case, but 15mins is poor choice in time frame. 1 hour should be the min.

Anyway, looks like good work, but don't think I could pay $2 for it. $1, I would.
[Android Apps and Games] chrlswltrs:
I will never understand people that say things like this. Seriously $1 is ok, but $2 is too much?????

Just say you are cheap and don't want to but anything!

[Android Apps and Games] codesplice:
If you have trouble with this app, just let the dev know. He was very helpful in getting around my issues, and I imagine he could do the same for you.

If you still can't get it to work, ask the dev for a refund. People that love to whine about the 15 minute refund window seem to forget that the devs are people too and would usually gladly issue a refund if needed. I've gotten probably four our five refunds issued by devs well after google's refund window had expired.

[Android Apps and Games] hawst:
Hello, i have and idea (sorry search dont work just now, may be my qn has answer already, please point me if so).

My idea is to differentiate landscape mode and hw keyboard open mode. Now doesnt matter turn i phone into landscape or open keyboard (i have HTC DZ). But i need to switch keyboard only when hw keyboard open, but when i turn phone into landscape.

Is this possible to implement ?

ne0fhyk, thank u very much, this is really excellent app!

PS. Fully agree with chrlswltrs, i never think buy or not, if i like app and it will be useful (helpful) for me - then i will buy it. I'm sure my small payment will help dev to make app much better!
[Android Apps and Games] dp92180:
I agree 100%, we need more developers like this who are creative and provide functional software. Only way to get them to keep developing for Android is to support them.

If you don't like the price then write the code yourself or manually change the keyboard.

[Android Apps and Games] Homesnake:
So, can anyone confirm if this works on the Droid X? I tried back when it was 1.1 before Market release & it didn't work for me then.
[Android Apps and Games] chrlswltrs:
When I used it back before it was on the market it worked fine on my Droid X, you just had to transfer it to the system folder and manually change the permissions. No need to do that now, it installs with the correct permissions.
[Android Apps and Games] Homesnake:
Yeah. I wasn't ready to do all that then. So the market version will work? If so, I am all about it. I have been wanting Swype in portrait & SwiftKey in landscape for a while now.
[Android Apps and Games] SoDroid:
I'm getting he same message. I followed the directions. After placing the apk. In system/app I set the permissions and rebooted. Same result in 2 attempts. Its also not on the approved by SU list.

[Android Apps and Games] jtpstealth:
Won't even let me download on my incredible... MIUI ROM have anything to do with this? It says not supported on this device.
[Android Apps and Games] Aztriltus:
Same goes for me. It didn't even ask for SU permission when I start the keyboard manager. Instantly, that was the toast message shown to me as well. Hopefully you can fix this.

I will also hope that the keyboard manager does not need to run in the background if possible. For example, by going landscape, it triggers the keyboard manager which triggers a different landscape keyboard rather than the portrait one.

Using Nexus One - Enomther's latest PreThemed with Manup456's FroyoTheme ROM. Really looking forward to use this as Swyping in landscape isn't really a good choice. Didn't think anyone would think of this!
[Android Apps and Games] zoman7663:
Thank you! Awesome work! Just installed on my Nexus One and it works great! :D:D

*edit: start on boot (when fixed) a huge plus! Sometimes it doesn't actually change keyboards when changing orientation. Found that even with "persistent notification" off, clearing the status bar would actually close the keyboard manager app. Hope this info helps. Still awesome!
[Android Apps and Games] magnethart:
Looks like a great app but have a few problems.

1. switched from portrait to landscape the first time and worked but when it went back to portrait, it closed my landscape keyboard and would not reopen. Had to exit the app in order to get a keyboard back in landscape mode.

2. Start on boot service is grayed out and cannot be selected. Have to restart the app ever reboot.

In what directory did you first put the apk on your phone?

After it was on your phone, could you describe exactly the steps you took.

Thanks

you think you guys will be able to create a startup timer? i know its not impossible for mobiles

I had to reboot to see the app in my launcher, might want to add that to the steps.

Also any chance on version numbers? It seems like its been updated a couple times in the past few days, so it would be helpful to keep track of updates.

[Android Apps and Games] rmoney:
/system/apps is in the main memory on your phone (not sdcard). Use the app Root Explorer (not Astro) and you should be able to find it.

I see. I was using Astro.

Thank you so much.

This app looks very handy. Has anyone tried it out on the Atrix?
[Android Apps and Games] PhilDX:
do you (or anyone else) have any issues with Keyboard Manager (current Market version) causing your Droid X to reboot?

my Droid X has been rock solid since launch day and never reboots. when Keyboard Manager is active, i frequently get reboots after using the keyboard and either rotating between portrait and landscape while using an app, or after setting the phone down on a flat surface. if i disable Keyboard Manager, my phone is back to normal. i have experienced the reboots while using different combinations of keyboards set within Keyboard Manager for portrait and landscape. i am running stock android 2.2.
[Android Apps and Games] Homesnake:
No, I haven't had any reboots. I have only once had a force close of the SwiftKey keyboard when I switched from landscape to portrait orientation, but it kept right on going (even SwiftKey) when I put it back in landscape.

Are you only on 2.2? We did get updated to 2.2.1
[Android Apps and Games] PhilDX:
i am on 2.2.1, sorry. and i'm running v1.4 of Keyboard Manager directly from the market, no prior version was installed. in fact, i rooted (using z4root) just to install this application and Titanium Backup Pro, that's it. i noticed a few comments in the Market complaining about Keyboard Manager causing their Droid X's to reboot, but not enough to make me think it's really a prevelant issue. Since my droid X never reboots otherwise, most people aren't complaining about reboots, and i can prevent it from rebooting simply by disabling Keyboard Manager, i have to conclude it's an app conflict with Keyboard Manager and something else on my phone.

as an experiment, i have been thinking about trying to install v1.1 (which i grabbed here a long time ago before it went to market)...

oh, and i hit the "thanks" button by accident, but you did reply to my post so i guess that's ok!
[Android Apps and Games] Homesnake:
Z4root is what I used too. I tried Kmlauncher 1.1 before it came on the market but it didn't work for me. Well, I guess it could have, but I didn't want to go into the terminal & change permissions after I read that the developer was going to fix the issue that would have solved & release to the market. It might work for you though.

Would you say it reboots on you a lot?
[Android Apps and Games] PhilDX:
yeah, i would, a few times a day, but it's not a purely random thing. it only happens while/after i'm using the keyboard in an app and the screen rotates (portrait - landscape).

i think i'm going to try uninstalling and reinstalling just for kicks. if that doesn't help, i may still give 1.1 a try.
[Android Apps and Games] PhilDX:
me again, so i uninstalled, rebooted, and then reinstalled Keyboard Manager (v1.4 from market), and i have been using the phone as usual for two days now without a single reboot.

i have a theory though that the original installation alone wasn't the problem... one of the keyboards i use on my Droid X is Thumb Keyboard (totally awesome keyboard with arrow keys at the bootom of the standard portrait keyboard). This keyboard offers an option to set different layouts of Thumb Keyboard for portrait and landscape. i am pretty sure i had this set when i originally installed Keyboard Manager, and i think this may have created a conflict. I made sure this option was disabled when i reinstalled Keyboard manager and i haven't had a problem since.

so, may have been an app conflict and not a bad install, but either way, things appear to be working well now.
[Android Apps and Games] theone10:
Suggestion.

Can there be one more setting for when using the keyboard?

Thanks

[Android Apps and Games] Apodidae:
This was one of the best purchases I've made. Even if I had no other reasons to root, just having the different orientation keyboards is well worth it. Worked from the first time I tried running the app (Samsung Mesmerize 2.1.1).
[Android Apps and Games] DomSim:
just needs set on boot and a bit faster to be perfect
[Android Apps and Games] ne0fhyk:
There's a 'Start on boot' option available already.
[Android Apps and Games] HappyDad1:
Bravo! Excellent job! You are an inspiration.
[Android Apps and Games] Apodidae:
Every once-in-a-while, I have an odd reaction going on with my Mersmerize (version 1.4 on stock 2.1.1 OS rooted with one-click). If I run an app that has a locked landscape orientation (like watching a video), once I leave the app, my phone starts vibrating like crazy. The screen will black out except for the notification bar that switches back and forth from portrait to landscape mode. It's like the forced landscape has an affect on KM and it buffers all the switching. After a short while, everything goes back to normal.

If I disable KM, the effect goes away. Only when KM is active does this happen. It doesn't lock up my Mez, and waiting a little while seems to catch itself up and revert back to normal. I don't think I've seen it act like that when I'm physically switching orientation - just when an app locks the orientation to one direction.

Even with that little hiccup, it's the best app I've added! :)
[Android Apps and Games] DomSim:
oh god, could have swore that i remember reading in the app description or somewhere that set on boot didnt work. just tried and obviously it does lol. thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] neilbantoc:
Happens with me as well..
[Android Apps and Games] SilverPony2001:
As with other reviews on the marketplace, my Droid X will randomly reboot while KM is installed. If I remove it, no more reboots. Other than this little annoying thing, it seems to work good.
[Android Apps and Games] theone10:
Cliq2. Somehow it did not ask for root permission the second time I unistalled it. And as a result is not work as it should.

Edit: figured out the problem. My task manager killed the service.

But the superuser thing still stands.
[Android Apps and Games] DomSim:
just want to follow up on this, whilst the set on boot option is there, the app seems to "reset itself" every once in a while. not sure if it is from a reboot or another time, i just sometimes notice it is no longer working and when i load the app everything is back to default choices.

Does anyone know if this app can be a useful way of dealing with the known, but unfixed forever, bug in Swype where if you reboot, Swype doesn't work, and you have to choose a different keyboard, and then choose Swype again?

Would love to know if this app would allow me to resolve simply by tilting my phone.

So, how are things looking for support for a hardware keyboard mode?

Didn't see anything like this mentioned in the changelog, only found several requests on later pages but never a dev reply.

Would buy this thing immediately since I only need to switch keyboards when opening the hardware keyboard.

[Android Apps and Games] jamontoast1291:
I keep having swiftkey force close (which it never did until installing this). It happens a lot if I had been in an app using the keyboard and go to my homescreen. It randomly force closes, for example after I was in the camera app and went to my homescreen. It is getting so frustrating to the point where I might just pick a keyboard for both orientations and not bother.

[Android Apps and Games] tsheeley:
Yes, this will fix that issue. It's exactly what I was using it for on my MT3G (I have a G2x now). The problem is that older phones didn't have enough memory up start Swype correctly at boot.

I do want to note tho that I was using the old free version that was initially released here. I bought it from the market when I got the new phone, but I'm getting an error that it can't get root access... even tho I am rooted. (Titanium and SetCPU both work. Also confirmed root with Root Checker from the market.)

To dev: I'm going to try uninstalling and redownloading... I'll report back if it fixes it.

Update: Uninstalling and reinstalling didn't fix it. Still having the same problem. Except for rooting, device is stock... haven't even removed bloatware.

Update 2: Just for giggles I'm going to try restoring the old free version from a TB from my old phone tonight... will report back later.

Trying to make it work but it doesn't apparently.

I am using Motorola Defy with android 2.2.2 stock rooted.

I am trying to switch between swype (portrait) and swiftkey (landscape) but when in portrait, but changing to landscape doesn't show any keyboard at all.

Tried to reboot, changed in android settings which keyboard is default but it looks like for my device, the app is only screwing landscape keyboard altogether.

How can it be fixed?

Thank You, this app, if working is very interesting, great idea!!

When using the asus transformer with the keyboard dock, you have to switch to the asus keyboard to utilize alla the keys on the dock.

Can you add the option to change the keyboard based on "keyboard out" as tasker call it: when the dock in connected the transformer enter in a state similar to when sliding out the keyboard on a motorola droid and other sliding phones.

[Android Apps and Games] Akulamenuri:
When I was using Swype for Portrait and Swiftkey Beta for Landscape, the app would switch the keyboard from Swype to Swiftkey just fine but would Force Close when going from Swiftkey to Swype. Swype for Portrait and Android Keyboard for Landscape works just find but it isn't the ideal setup I would like for my device.
[Android Apps and Games] Akulamenuri:
This thread seems to be dead but I wanted to give an update. I received an update from Swiftkey X Beta and one of the recent changes states "Fixed a bug where the user is unable to enter text until restarting Swiftkey X". I have been using Swype Beta for Portrait Mode and Swiftkey X Beta for Landscape mode and besides one single Forced Closed, it has been working really well. I have changed orientations about 50 times with a text field open (meaning that the keyboard will automatically change and reappear without selecting the text field again) and I have not seen anymore Forced Closes. This is my ideal setup and I am glad that after a few updates that the Swype/Swiftkey combination works like a charm.
