Better keyboard
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I prefer Slideit Keyboard
Greetings,
I am suing Swiftkey and i am very happy.
Thanks
Vatis
I use Swiftkey
Still have Swype installed but it's annoying for me cause it keeps splitting words in the middle. Think this is a problem caused by the lack of MT which makes it think your finger is jumping when you slide too fast or if your thumb is too fat
I use the Default Japanese IME keyboard. I can type incredibly fast on it, few mistakes. I prefer it to the iPhone keyboard as well.
I like swype best, but to be honest it all boils down to speed. Any of the keypads are ok, just swype is very fast and accurate for me.

I like HTC_IME keypad as I like using phone keypad over QWERTY keyboard.
HTC_IME v27 from jonasl, by far the best keyboard, not as accurate as iPhones but looks way better.

this! even if u dont want to slide around, the keys are perfectly spaced unlike the OEM keyboard.
Can you just get these keboards from the market or do you need to root your phone for them to work?
I like Anysoft Keyboard, as its the only one I've found with an apostrophe on the main pad.

SmartKeyboard Pro is the best keyboard.
I've tried many others but it is my choice.
I've tried a lot of Keyboards, but the best I've ever had is the HTC_IME by jonasl. ;-)

You can get some from the market, like SlideIt and Better Keyboard I believe, but HTC_IME and Swype need to be downloaded from the internet. No root required.
I use HTC_IME.

If you click search, and then hold down the input thingy, a box will appear and hit "input method" you can change it from swype to the android keyboard and samsung keypad.
I use better keyboard, been using it since my G1 and by far the best one. I've tried a bunch and keep going back to better keyboard.
Swiftkey Beta. I love Swiftkey sooooo much. It feels like it's reading your mind after a while.
htc_ime is the best, all the other ones i try want to be so percise, its annoying.

I use Smart Keyboard Pro with the htc skin. The best things I like about it are the multitouch and the virtual d-pad.

I've been using swype since day one and, ironically, today I had enough. I can't take its lag anymore. Cutting words in half with the word behind it. Wrong guesses as to what I'm trying to type over and over. I've been using the android keyboard which is OK, but I think ill check out some of the suggestions. I loved swype up until recently. Maybe its the update.
What you guys think is the best keyboard. Please share your opinions.

Smart Keyboard Pro. Use the iphone theme. Its certainly not the prettiest but for some reason its super accurate.
I like swype, after getting MT update it works fine
Smart keyboard pro.
The best.

I have used swype, but slideit seems to provide better accuracy. Any opinions?
The default Japanese keyboard. It can either be in qwerty mode or the old phone 12 button mode.
Plus, it has a wider array of Japanese emoticons like this (^_^) and more.

I've tried a few, swiftkey is probably the best.

i like the default stock keyboard, i have tried swype and smart but none of them was for me
I use 3 keyboards se stock, swiftkey and htc ime mod

I find swype awesome especially if you tweak the speed vs. accuracy settings to find what works best for you
Swype seems the most accurate to me
I like ShapeWriter. Pretty accurate and fun to use!

Gingerbread keyboard and Swype for me.
So I'm pretty much pissed off at the stock HTC keyboard, and Swype doesn't work for me, so I'm wondering what keyboard is worth installing to replace.
I've tried Swiftkey and Smart Keyboard, but they both have problems with double letters when typing fast.
What keyboards are you all using with your 3VO?
Im using Smart keyboard pro and I have problems with it not responding sometimes. I need a better keyboard also. I can't stand the htc one.
if you don't dig swype (and it is an acquired taste I'll admit) I would then recommend swift....
...don't dig swift? Well, almost every other keyboard out there (that isn't trying be either be "swype2" or super unique) will be the same (at best) or worst.
Do swift...have it learn from your txts....srsly, how does that not work for you?
got the old ginge keyboard, seems to be ok.. space bar is a little small..
I was leaning towards the GB stock keyboard, just need to find a modified apk for one with the smilie key. I miss that from my rooted EVO.
I'll probably give into Swift, just was curious what everyone else uses.
Check out hackers keyboard. Its pretty cool.

I downloaded the Swift Beta from the marketplace, seems pretty good, no issues so far with double letters.
I really dig thumb keyboard 4.
The ability to split the keyboard while in landscape so Tue keys are closer to the sides has actually made me want to type in landscape.

I really really miss the GB keyboard. I tried the apk I had from the Evo as well as the one from the market, both not sized for our screens(too small). I'm surprised no update either
Hackers has an ass load of options. I like you can change the overall size it takes up on the screen.
Though I have the full version of SwiftKey, I find the SwiftKey x beta works best for me.

I'm loving flex t9. it's way better than swype imo. plus I got it free from Amazon app a day. I would have bought otherwise. you can trace, write, or voice command it.

the more it learns the better it works.....make sure to let it learn periodically....or make it....also only pick the language modules you need...trust me....I thought I'd shot for flexibility....pfft....more like shooting for randomization--the same applies for swype, lol.

I second SwiftKey x
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
great thread, thanks for everyone who chimed in with keyboard suggestions.
just got swiftkey x beta, gonna give it a try. anything will be better than the crappy stock keyboard.
getting a little annoyed with the choice of keypads, none are quite right for me. I find the majority of them the space bar is too small and im constantly hitting the full stop instead. I like the swiftkey keypad for its predictive properties but the space bar is the same size as normal. Ive tried the iphone emulator keypad which has a much better size keypad but not the predictive options. Although ive only tried the free version so far, is anyone using the paid for version and does it have better prediction? Currently im trying the perfect keypad free version and it seems a bit better, the space bar is a decent size and basically looks like the giingerbread keypad.
Annoyingly i know the perfect keypad for me, its the htc one, ive used it on 4 different phones and it was perfect but ive not seen anyone port it to the SGS2 so far?
What keypads are people using? what are their pros and cons?
Smart keyboard allows you to customize the keyboard however you'd like
[Bigger space bar in your case?]

I am using swiftkey X .its very very good. the text prediction is pretty good.I recommend it. the app is paid but worth every cent.
From yesterday I am using touchpal input beta (one has to sign up for beta invite) . its pretty neat too. Its a combination of swype like gestures+ predictive text. worth a try.
Im also using swift key x, i love it! its amazing, it has so many features like it can even go through your sms/emails to "learn" how you type i.e. all your slang automatically. Worth the money imo.
yes ive got swiftkey x too, its prediction seems to eb the best there is, i just find the space bar too small, if i could have swiftkey with the size of space bar that the iphone emulator keypad has it would be perfect
Hackers keyboard (from XDA). Much better than the stock keyboard.
"Keyboard from Android 2.3" is my favorite. I use the "+" paid version. Same as stock gingerbread keyboard, only it's more customizable.

SwiftKey x is great, i only wish we could edit the theme, remove the SwiftKey button and question mark button and make the spacebar bigger and it would be perfect, anyone know a way todo that?

Swiftkey x with the HTC keyboards UI and the ability to edit the layout would make my perfect keyboard!
For some reason the HTC keyboard has a less responsive spacebar and worse autocorrect it is nice though!

Hey all,
I almost never like stock keyboards.
When I had my HTC, my keyboard of choice was SwiftKeyX. Unfortunately, it won't work on the note, you have to get SwiftKeyX Tablet (which is what I am using now).
My issue is, I find is pretty stupid to design a keyboard without popular punctuation's on the main keyboard and require you to swap screen to hit a Comma, Exclamation or Question Mark among others.
The issue is, the SwifKeyX Tablet keyboard lags, sometimes VERY badly.
Has anyone else run other keyboard with success?
Thanks!
I use Icecream Sandwich Keyboard off the market. Works great.

Ok, installed and thankfully, I can set up different layouts for Portrait and Landscape.
For now, this is the winner! Thanks for kicking this back into my brain!

I have not experienced lags with SwiftkeyX. I guess I might be lucky. I also like iTap as another 3rd party keyboard.
Not sure what version of Swiftkey X i bought as it was only. 49 in the market but i do remember it saying something about using a different tablet version. I paid no attention and the non tablet version is working wonderful here. Non root, all stock.
