I'd like to create custom layout for Android 2.3 keyboard. Where do I start? Currently I don't have any experience in Android platform.
Is it possible to hack the existing keyboard layout so that I will not have to create a new one from scratch?

Read about creating an input method on the android dev site, specifically the Soft Keyboard example.
