Smart Keyboard Pro. I think it's almost perfect. Many many settings . You can make it to suit you.

i checked out smart keyboard, i'm gonna check out thumbs keyboard too.
thanks for the suggestion.
I'm using SlideIT because I thought it was like Swype. It kind of sucks compared to Swype though. I like it because the keys are larger and easier to hit, BUT they are REALLY large.
I also have the Ginerbread keyboard which isn't too bad (the free version).
I'm very happy with SwiftKey (I write in 2 language)

Swype works. My wife is using it. Use this version...

I now have a USB dongle on my Archos 101. Any suggestions on what I need to do hook up a keyboard and a mouse. Can I use a USB hub? Or my only choice is go get a bluetooth keyboard/mouse?
I have tried a few keyboards, and the Smart Keyboard seems to be the best for me...
The spaces between the buttons are larger, and the appearance is also better.
^Do you have link?

Do you have the 70 or the 101? I don't think it works on the 101. I could be wrong though. I'll give it a shot in about 12 hours (I have to go to work and its my long day).

Oh. I'm sorry. It's a 70. Didn't think of that.
At work right now. Just an update. That version of swype doesn't work on the 101.
I find Swype a bit quirky on the A70. It seems to want to cut off the swipe in mid-word a lot. I switched to the Gingerbread keyboard and it's awesome.

Can someone pull the apk off their matrix so I can port that keyboard to my Inspire please? I tried my friends keyboard on his atrix and it blows the Inspire's keyboard out of the water.
Sent from my Desire HD/Inspire or whatever the XDA App calls it.
Can someone please load this keyboard for me?
I didn't like the atrix keyboard, im using gingerbread keyboard dled off the market.
atrix "multitouch" keyboard works so much better than the GB one due to the limitations of only 2 finger multitouch support
Just out curiousity, what is the advantage of a multitouch keyboard? i cant think of a moment when you need to hold down more than two keys, at least for a phone, unless there are functionalities about multitouch keyboards that i dont realize.

2 things I can think of is faster typing because it doesn't hang on the "last key pressed" and you don't have to "lock" the caps lock.
I used to be a fan of the GB keyboard on the market when I had my Nexus One, but the multitouch keyboard on the Atrix blows it away...I can type just as fast as I did when I had an iPhone back in the days.
Sorry to bring an old thread back to life but can someone port Motorola Multi-touch keyboard for CM7? I have tried every keyboard but the best keyboard that works for my fat fingers is Motorola Keyboard.
Thank you in advance

I second this request. I've tried 6 or 7 keyboards and none have worked as well for me as the Moto keyboard.
I am glad someone is on the same page as me.
I tried copying LatimeIME.apk and lib file for latinime to the beta.zip to replace the keyboard that's in there to see if it will install that keyboard. Signed using Sign+ and once I installed the rom, I had no keyboard at all! I kept trying to tap on text message box but nothing popped open from bottom so I am stuck on CM7 with CM7 keyboard. I keep going back and forth between roms just coz of the keyboard
I grabbed ThumbKeyboard 4 from Amazon a few days ago when it was the free app of the day. I changed the lanscape size to
120% and to be honest, its damn near identical to the moto keyboard. One major exception being that all the punctuation marks are in plain sight without having to hit the 123 key. I loved the blur mtkeyboard, but ThumbKeyboard is superior in every way.

+1. i tried it out today. and now i replaced my motorola keyboard too.
heres a quick adjustment for those looking for something like the motorola one...
Thumb keyboard, portrait 115%, landscape 120%. Groovy.
Bump, Does anyone have a backup of the Stock motorola keyboard? Im currently on CM7
Or know if the gingberblur keyboard restore file is safe to flash on Gingerbread ?
Can we do this w/o root?
Swype 2 sucks after the 3b version >_<
The installer requires you to disable swype (uncheck it as an available keyboard) before it will allow you to install the beta.
Work around thought;
backup on the 4g, restore to the 3d? But I think licensing problems will exist =(
On Swype site it says if your phone came with swype it won't work.

Yeah, well, I thought maybe someone knew a trick.
If you go to HTC or Sprint's sites, they don't say the 4g can be rooted or custom roms can be flashed... Trust in the community
Anyway, I got it installed from a backup - and it works, I can tap/type with it, but the license isn't valid due to the strange install procedure, so no swyping
I uninstalled the "update" and it works again in 2.x mode :-/
Soon enough, I suppose.

try this and tell me if it works. make sure android keyboard is selected in kb settings. retore your backup of swype beta installer and swype kb, go open messaging and then change your imput method back to swype.

Completely agree. I was diggin' the 3 beta on my Hero and this version on the E3D is terrible.
I don't get why swype can't figure out how to let us update the app to the beta. seems rather simple but maybe im missing something.

Since the app is installed by the OEM in an area that doesn't allow writing to, you can't overwrite it with the new version. The OEMs also do not allow uninstalling of the app.
It sucks hard! Another reason to root.
The stock swype on the 3VO worked fine for a few days but the last two it has sucked some major ass. Its suggesting words in different languages and not picking anything close to what I intended when I swyped. Anyone else having this problem?
Also, I heard the HTC IME has a similar feature, how does that work for everyone?

Hey, when I installed Bionix 1.3.1, I found out that Som thought it would be a good idea to take out the highly popular, easy, and fast (at least for me) Samsung Keyboard.
I am not stupid, I know how to change the keyboard...so don't ask me that.
Although the Samsung keyboard is not multi-touch, it is still better than any other keyboard I've been on.
So, how do I get that keyboard back?
Thanks.
Bloater will give you back all stock apps & Swype keyboard can be downloaded off their site just google swype. Good luck!
Thanks! I'll check it out and see if I can DL the Samsung keyboard. By the way, I'm not talking about Swype.
Thats kool, I was just sayin. It'll be in bloater either way tho. Good luck!

It's only fast when typing with one hand. On the Samsung keyboard I type at about 70-100 words a minute.
I've had the SGS II for about three weeks now and have continuous issues with keyboard input accuracy. From the Samsung and stock Android keyboard, to the ICS hacked version (and then the Market version) as well as Swiftkey X - I make mistake after mistake regardless of whichever one I'm using. I'm coming from a Captivate where the text input seemed a non-issue on any keyboard I used. It almost feels like the touch panel/digitizer isn't aligned with where my fingers are touching.
Does anyone else have issues with keyboard accuracy? I love this phone but this issue is really preventing me from enjoying the experience.
I'd highly recommend the ICS keyboard linked later in this thread. Much better than what I initially posted.
Swiftkey X works perfectly fine for me.
I'm using the ported ICS keyboard found on the market and it works very well. There have not been any problems for me at all.
Just installed it and I find myself making the same mistakes as any of the other ones. It's so weird...I've never had this problem on the Captivate and other phones in the past.

Happy camper here
I see a couple ICS keyboards on the Market, can ya provide a link? I'm always up for finding something new although as I mentioned already, I like SKP.
I am using go keyboard from the market with go launcher and I noticed the button( keys) are bigger. But honestly I don't have any issues with my keyboard calibration works fine. I sometimes not a wrong key but that is my fault and not a calibration issue. Possibly you can calibrate your screen? Never have done it but I think it can be done. Maybe a bad phone also?

I was able to eliminate this problem by loading the cognition rom. Im not sure exactly why it fixed it but i assume it because it is an international rom that was ported.
im using the swype beta 3.6 doesnt really need to be "accurate" since all you do is "swype" it. but it is fairly accurate for me if i have to type with it.
I'm using the swype keyboard on mine Galaxy S2, I am a new convert from the iPhone and can barely type on this thing. Thank God for swipe. It appears to me that i have to hit the upper portion of the key to make an accurate key press. If I hit it dead on I get the key below it, strange.

ICS keyboard form the market is awesome, fast and extremely accurate. I havent had any more keyboard problems.
I use the newest update of Swype and its definitely not as smooth and accurate as it was on my cappy. I'm On my second sgs2, and have had accuracy issues on both. It's not horrible, just not as good as my cappy. It's the only thing that was better on my cappy compared to this phone, so I'll deal with it.

Yes.. flashing a rom and having no earthly idea why it just magically fixed is quite a solution! Let me jjust drop everything I'm doing, lose all of my time and effort of making my current rom the way i want it so I can flash the rom you are assuming fixed it without any facts or reasoning so I can make you happy.
Goodnight.
Goodnight!!!

Yes, it seems like you have to hit the letter you want about 2mm high. At first I thought it was because I was converting over from the iPhone, but two months later I still had problems. I have kind of retrained to hit the buttons on the upper half. I am going to try the ICS keyboard.
And a goodnight too.
It appears that many MoPho users love Swiftkey X. I love it too but the one thing it is missing that prevents it from being a perfect 10 in my book is the ability to create custom shortcuts (ie. icub = "I'll call you back", sul = "see you later", etc.).
If you would like to see this feature and others added to Swiftkey, please cast your votes here!
I've used Swiftkey X in the past, and have not liked it. Maybe it's been improved and I'll give it another try. My keyboard of choice is the ICS Keyboard. I love it, and the autocorrect is so accurate!
Swiftkey is good but I completely ditched it when I tried thumb keyboard. I will never use another...

Does thumb keyboard and ICS keyboard support custom shortcuts/ autotext?
I like Swype. But it has given me quite a few text where I need to double take on since I don't proof read ... Let me mind you this is only started happening since using the beta.
Example I dressed as Santa for a friends kids.. Later on that Nite the grand mother asked me to put the suit back on so she and a friend could take a bunch of photos so they could use them for next years post cards...
So my friend Jon shoots me a text the next day saying thanks for dressing up fire the kids.. So I text back that I put the suit back on for some photos.. For post cards but instead of post cards Swype insists I am writing *****...
That took a little explaining.. True story.. Also all of this was written with Swype and not once did it mistake a clearly written post for *****.. Damn Swype and its learning...
^^ One word... WOW! ^^
Since I dropped swift x I haven't had any keyboard lockups... I won't try it again until the next OS release.

Smart Keyboard Pro caused lockups for me and SwiftKey caused lockups for you; I guess picking the right keyboard is really important, huh?
Which keyboard are you currently using and do you like it?
I've been using A.I.Type Keyboard and I really like it. The only problem is it can't keep up with my typing speed and bogs down sometimes. However, no "lockups". Thankfully!
I have used swype (even the new update) and Still can't beat my Swiftkey X, I've tried many and I always go back to Swiftkey X.. Yes I just Love it, it reads my mind, predicts my next word 80% of the time..

Words
I used Swiftkey X on my Evo 4G. Loved it. On my Photon since the screen is a hair smaller I have had a few problems adjusting.
Seriously though. Swift key is fast enough that I can type words. Sentences even.
I have to say I truly hate what is happening to language because of texting.
