SwiftKey Keyboard FREE! - Atrix 4G Themes and Apps

Logged into Amazon App Store and they have it free for today as a promotion. This is one of the best predictive keyboards around. Just thought I'd put it out there.

swift is poop.... swype gang or die!

Cool, thanks. It's better than the stock keyboard, but Swype it's more my cup of tea. It's cool to have another alternative for the keyboard!

Cant get Amazon App Store in Canada
Just wondering if some one could post the .apk for the swiftkey as in canada i do not have access to the amazon app store

I cant seem to get it to show me suggestions...
[Edit] I got it. It had to download some language pack. I like typing in landscape now

Problem with it compared to better keyboard is that it has much less preferences. The ability to change the key size on Better Keyboard, and basically customize it exactly how you like it makes it great.

Amen, epically the new beta swype. And you have arrow keys for it if you swype the squiggly thing with the pointer finger on it to SYM. It makes it to where you can play a flash game that involves using the arrow keys (almost every flash game).
No other keyboard does that!

Replacement Keyboard Suggestions?

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.

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.

What is your favorite keyboard app?

I wanted to stick with the stock 3vo keyboard but ready to give up. What keyboard app do you like?
Swiftkey X. Has light,dark,neon skins. Works flawless IMO
+1 for SwiftKey. I've been using it for over a year. It just keeps getting better. If you let it learn from your txts, it's uncanny how little you have to type when sending a txt. Often I'll only have to type one letter in each word. Sometimes, not even a letter, as the word I want to type is already in the suggestions. And, SwiftKey is the free app from the Amazon app store today.
I had been using Smartkeyboard and love it. Still do. Downloaded Swiftkey x today (Free in the Amazon app store today!) and liking it so far. Pick it up today!
SwiftKey x is beast its everything the sense keyboard and stock android keyboard is but better Definetly get it off the amazon market while you can

SwiftKey X is great. I better than the stock htc keyboard. It is free on amazon Appstore today July 21th. A day after the beta expired. So i was happy when I checked in to see what the free app was today.

I literally bought the keyboard yesterday cause my beta ran out, kinda pissed that I didnt get it for free, but 4 bucks aint bad and I gave the dev some money to keep up support, so oh well...
Thanks
Got it free!
+1for swiftkey X !!
i just grabbed swiftkey. not a fan. i have gotten use to using the t9 keypad. i dont really have to look while i text, with this i have to constantly. been using smartkeyboard for a while. so far i prefer that, but i wont toss it just yet.. i will give it a few days see if it sinks in to me
Damn I want swiftkey no credit card where I am and cannot get to it damn

After using Swiftkey, Swype, Better Keyboard, HTC Stock keyboard, I would say my personal favorite is the stock gingerbread keyboard. Swiftkey is okay.
Where can i get a stock gingerbread keyboard that fits the 3vo screen??
for once i like the stock keyboard on my phone. and on the 3vo the stock keyboard is both touch and swype so thats cool to.
but i used to use Smart keyboard. don't understand how to use thumb keyboard but that seems to be everyones favorite
I had purchased thumb keyboard for my tablet so i put on my 3VO.
I like it. Gives me the ability to customized for portrait and landscape. It also has some intereting layout options like a split over and under for portrait so the keys aren't too small. I'd say its worth a try for all the options and themes if nothing else.
I didn't care for Swift by comparison. It just seems that thumb keyboard offers more for me. Stock is pretty good too.
Definitely Swype for me. I don't text much, so being able to use one finger only and quickly is a huge boon for me.
I'm trying out swift now, and and i think the stock keyboard is pretty great, especially with trace enabled. But an old favorite of mine is Ultra Keyboard. That thing is so customizable.

Best & "Lightest" Keyboard?

Well, Swiftkey X has lost its appeal to me.
What are some of the best keyboards out there that, as odd a request as it might seem, are also light on system resources?
I just like a snappy keyboard that doesn't take two seconds to pop up or disappear, and doesn't 'stumble' when typing (no input for a sec, then all of a sudden puts in your last 3 strokes).
I don't need much in terms of theming, but the one thing I found with Swiftkey that I REALLY fell in love with was the ability to change the long key press time threshold...for example, I decreased it from like 500ms to 250ms...it makes typing for me a whole lot faster. Are there any other keyboards with that?
Thanks for your input fellas.
My swipe pops up right away. However, I HATE typing passwords or usernames with it. I know that doesn't really help, as I cna't find any keyboards I like... I can't stand swiftkey, especially with the browser, as that .com is ALWAYS in the way when I try to search. For general use, I like the stock keyboard actually... its less laggy than the froyo one was, but it still is a bit laggy...
i used for a while go keyboard, but now i'm using thumb keyboard 4 and it's highly customizable, fast no lags, perfect for my big fingers

I've been eyeing that one and think I'll check out the free demo/trial they have.
Unfortunately, Mgamerz, I kinda don't like any swype keyboards. I actually tried going back to it for a while when Swiftkey started fading and still couldn't get into it.
Thanks for the input guys.
I'm using thumb keyboard and its pretty good. Really like the portrait layout, making it soeasy to type.
It would be much better if it let me customize every single keys so I can make my own layout or keys that I use often.

Go keyboard is best for me. You have swipe, you can adjust intensity of vibration you have everything.

Well I was mistaken, there is no demo.
But you like it? Never ran into any lag? I see a review here and there that says it lags but it was literally only like 2, and one of them was using the LG optimus (the little crappy one T-mobile has, I think)
@knjigo: You're right...I don't like swyping though. Plus, I'm actually referring not to the length of the vibration feedback, but to how long it takes for, say, when I press a letter at the top with a number mapped "under" it for the long keypress, I could actually change how long I had to wait while pressing the letter to get the number to pop up.
I like it. Using it since alien rom and now I'm using cm7. I have experienced NO lag at all on this beast.

Any of you know a good keyboard that doesn't take up the whole space in landscape? I love swype, but hate the fact that it takes up the whole space -__-

Can anybody offer a comparison between Thumb Keyboard and another keyboard called Perfect Keyboard?

I use FlexT9 - It works great - even in browsers and typing usernames/passwords (just type like a regular keyboard) and its a "swype" style keyboard.

Also doesn't take full screen in landscape.

Best keyboard for lte?

Wanted to know what keyboard is your favorite and why? Stock, Smart keyboard pro, swift key 3, swype?
I like the layout of smart keyboard pro but also like the intuitiveness of swiftkey
I'd say that it boils down to user pref, I prefer swype, but it's free... I've heard that swiftkey 3 is excellent too, just haven't had a chance to try it yet ( I think it was free on amazon a while back)
I prefer Swiftkey, although the stock keyboard from og EVO was totally tits.

I love SwiftKey 3, but the beta ran out on me and free Swype beta beats paying for SwiftKey (at least so far... we'll see how I feel after another month of Swype getting things wrong). My favorite parts were the great prediction (obviously), the awesome blue/black theme (forget what it's called) and being able to swap between languages really easily.

Swiftkey for me too. The text prediction can really finish most of my sentences. I wish they would come up with Google+ integration like they do with Facebook because I really don't use Facebook as often and Google+ probably reflects my sentence structure better.
SwiftKey 3, easily.
I have been using swiftkey for years, and swiftkey 3 is really well done. I won't go back to anything else.

I HATE the HTC Keyboard!

I'm constantly being 'auto corrected' by this damned keyboard. Many of my texts invlove abbreviations and acronyms and they always get guessed to the nearest real word. I have to go back and re-type them back in. I don't want to have to add 60 words to my dictionary. Is there a way I can turn off auto-correct, or a different keyboard app you recommend?
Cool story bro
Download another keyboard like SwiftKey or Swype.

Man i feel your pain , couldn't believe the trouble i was having with the HTC ONES Keyboard also , i really wanted to kee a complete stock look , but i just couldn't take it anymore , so i just downloaded swype from the playstore i've acyually been using it for quite awhile now , on my s3 , and man what a difference , i would highly reccomend it SWYPE , it used to be free now its 1 dollar .................
I have always liked SwiftKey keyboard. Now it has flow built in so you can swype or text. This keyboard allows you to type with a lot of mistakes and it does a really good job fixing it. The swype keyboard in the play store works really well for swyping but typing normal on it doesn't work near as good. Depends on how you like to text more. I switch between both of them all the time.

I can't understand complaining about the keyboard on an Android phone when there are tons out there to change to.
The stock keyboard had Swype too....
I actually really liked this keyboard compared to my stock s3's.
I love this keyboard.. I have used all the other major ones and always come back to AOSP. But then I got the One and I love it. No issues and it's integrated with Google's voice keypad and is slick. No complaints here at all
