This is the best result until now. Any suggestions are welcome.

It looks good. Can't you strech rows 1 and 2 to full width so that you gain even 1 pixel per key?

The default vkb includes some punctuations, actually the most useful punctuations - period, comma, question mark, and exclamation point. It would be good to retain at least the most commonly used punctuations. A good example would be the Maliit vkb, see how period and comma is at the bottom.

Also keep in mind languages with more than 28 letters in their alphabet.
This is the best result until now. Any suggestions are welcome.
Otherwise what you've achieved looks pretty good.
EDIT:
A wild idea:
Add another property to vkbrenderer class, lets name it "keys-special", which contains an array of chars. For every char in that array, create a button (from him-western-...) right to the spacebar. Treat those buttons the same way space button is treated. That way ABI will be kept, i.e. if vkbrenderer class does not expose such property, do nothing. I hope you got the idea, I can elaborate if needed.

- "1#+" button next to space can now show other symbols, there will be space for even rarest and weirdest;
- Move "M" one row down, next to "N" (there will be place for it, because that ";:-" button is not needed with 5th row);
- Stretch buttons as much as You can (each pixel counts).
Or, instead of reinventing the wheel, take best examples from industry and mimic them (iOS, Symbian, Meego, Android, etc).
