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 ?

I am honestly the most confused and sad person on the planet (not really xD) right now. I can't get this keyboard to work... I had it on the reborn rom, freaking loved it, and now I can't seem to get the v27 from the forums to actually work. I activate it in keyboard settings, then when I go to use it, it never pulls up the keyboard. It just sits there as I'm pounding the text box(oh yeah, turns you on doesn't it?)
Alright well if anyone ever needs this advice I will point you to the fix I found on androidcentral (ick)
http://www.hallerud.se/htc_ime_jonasl_lowres15_27.zip
That is the low res version, it's apparently the one that works with lg phones, because this keyboard and lg phones don't play well together I guess
So there you go...
if I'm not mistaken mine didn't work with the low-res either :S
Really? The 1.5 and the 1.6 version 27 both are what work on mine. I'm typing on it now.
Well idk, whenever I try to flash it, it says update error and cancels and just leaves me hanging.. Can you give me a walk through or something like it?
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
What is the advantage of this keyboard over x or y keyboard?
Wait...your flashing it? You don't flash it. You just unzip the files in it and install the apks. Oh and well I just really like the look and feel of this keyboard. It looks nice and all the buttons are where I want them,it doesn't have to appeal to everyone,but I really like it

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...
Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk
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..

If Swiftkey X allowed you to create your own shortcuts/autotext, would you find that feature useful? If so, please let them know here. Not having this feature currently makes this keyboard unusable for me.

I don't really use the feature you mentioned, the app is just so fast that you don't really need it. but just as a favor to the people that would like it I gave your suggestion 3 votes.

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.
I think I know the answer to this one already, but I thought it was worth asking anyway. The one big thing I like in gingerbread is the new cursor control widget the OS presents. I am fully aware that this is an OS thing and nothing to do with the keyboard, but I wonder if anyone has come across any keyboard or add on that gives that kind of functionality to Froyo?
Here's hoping!

Thumb keyboard has arrow keys so you can move the cursor in any direction. Its the main reason I bought it back before I had Gingerbread on my Streak

Yeah, that's a great point. In fact swype also has cursor keys come to think of it! I must admit though, despite this I do find the cursor widget way quicker for navigating around. I guess when I'm feeling a tad braver I'll dive back into GB and see how things go.

Best keyboard for Rezound in my opinion. Swype would be close but unfortunately the bug where it splits words in 2 is a deal breaker for me.

I think this is the most efficient way to type if you're a tap-to-type person. The word prediction is constantly improving upon more use. The new thing is beta is that you don't need to type "Space" between words which speeds things up nicely.
SwiftKey could certainly use more/better themes, but I keep coming back to it as my daily driver as it's the most reliable (not the quickest though)
Swype would get more use from me if they'd enable the ability to increase the key height. I find it way too short to comfortably type and swipe on the Rezound (it's significantly shorter than SwiftKey, and most other keyboards out there have at least some sort of custom portrait height options...)
I wish they would make a red theme.

I was looking for this last week and all the links got taken down. Thanks for this!
ugh, why is it that 3 sucks compared to X?
seriously, every beta build is slow, laggy and just isn't as good. they took features out (the % of the keyboard you need to swipe left to delete a word, for one, which i set REALLY low, now it annoys me...)
and landscape typing? FORGET ABOUT IT. it lags behind like 15 seconds! it's like i'm typing on my god damn Eris. 3 blows compared to X.

I love swiftkey 3. I was using it more than any other keyboard for the longest time but the cursor always going bananas when I tried to move it or use the arrow keys made me start using the htc keyboard, and then ultimately the ics keyboard. They are both red themed.. something I wish swiftkey 3 had. I just installed it to my rezound though. Hopefully they fixed the tweaker cursor bug.
