[Q] anyone using ADW or Swype? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm just wondering if anyone is using ADW or Swype. These are two big musts for me, so I'd like to know if they both work fully before commiting myself to the SGS2

Swype being used here... Works very well and is one of the default keyboards that comes with the phone....
ADW works but I haven't fully tried it yet as I'm giving touchwiz a good run first..

Import Keyboard from Eclair to Froyo?!

Hi guys,
I would like to install the Beta 4, but the installed Keyboard s*cks! Is it possible to import the old Keyboard from Android 2.1 to 2.2? It would be very nice ! I now there are some alternatives, but they're not so good as the one from SE!

I would also be interested in this. Samsung dropped the stock Froyo keyboard completely so I had to find the Gingerbread keyboard. It's nice, but the keys are smaller. I'd like to have the Eclair keyboard around as an option too.
Have you tried Swype? I use it and it rocks. It's a beta, but I have loved it so far.

No. I've tried it. I just can't get used to Swype and typing on the Swype keyboard produces a lot of errors.
But the main thing is my wife. It's her phone and she's the one that can't seem to use anything other than the Android keyboard. I actually type quite well on the Samsung one but she hates it and Swype is even worse for her.
There are settings on Swype that let you adjust for accuracy and speed. It's something that you have to get used to. It's not for everyone. I am using it to type this message.

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.

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.
LOL

Here I am trying to recommend something useful and this is the response I get. Doesn't pay to be helpful. Zzzzz
I've tried a few, swiftkey is probably the best.

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!

how to install swype on gingerbread keyboard

Well the title saids it all. I really like gingerbread keyboard but i love swype. How can install swype or if i cant then how can i just install swipe frojo keyboard instead? Im much better tipping with swype then just tipping.
Thanks
I don't think you can. Swype isn't just a function over the original keyboard; it's an entirely separate program itself.
You can install Swype separately, though. You can go to the Swype website and sign up for their beta. They send an email including a link to the apk installer. That's what I did when I was using a Nexus S.
But I wouldn't have thought you'd have to, given that the Vibrant comes with Swype. Are you sure you can't just select it in your settings menu? No matter the rom I've flashed, I've retained access to Swype on my Vibrant. Of course, they may have just included Swype. Not sure.
Hope that helps.
I have no clue what you are trying to ask.. but why not just use swype and a GB theme?
OR, use tasker and have it so portrait is swype and landscape is the GB keyboard.
The problem i have is that the trigger 3.2 seen not to have swype. I will edit the rom and replace the keyboard.apk
Thanks

Trigger comes with the Swype Beta Installer. If you have the beta, just sign in to it. If you do not have the beta yet, go to swypes website and register for the beta then open the app on your phone.
There are themes in the theme section for swype once you are up and running.
Tasker is an app in the market that allows total control over what your phone does.

Best keyboard!!!

What is the best keyboard for fast typing with fast auto correct?
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA Premium App
For me, Swype.
Swyped from my LG-P509 using XDA App.
Try SwiftKey X not bad

The Gingerbread default keyboard works great.
Next comes Swype.
the gingerbread default keyboard has fast auto correct but you either have to type the whole word out or choose from the list of predictions
swype allows you to type fast but it might not give you the word you want. plus it takes up a big part of your screen
but id say gingerbread keyboard
My keyboard (gingerbread) is sloe and does not auto correct fast enough.

If you can get it try out the new Touchpal keyboard. Been testing it out myself
swype keyboard is the best
i would say stock gingerbread keyboard is better
at least for me..
but i turned of the quick fix option because it's annoying..

^^ I have used the swype and then changed to gingerbread KB and also turned off quick fix.. Love it!
swype for me... i tried swiftkey but its hard to type in portrait...
swype 3.0 sucks tho for this phone, it blocks too much of the screen so google older versions
Swype is the best for what you want

[Q] What keyboard are you using with your S4?

Just curious what keyboard everyone is using. The S4 is defaulted to the Samsung keyboard which uses SwiftKey, but the S4 also comes with Swype. Are you using one of those, or are you using another? Maybe the SwiftKey or Swype from the market to gain some more options? Another keyboard?
What are you using, and why do you prefer it?
I'm using SwiftKey from the market. The stock Samsung keyboard does not have auto correct which is not something I can deal with.

I'm using stock 4.2.2 keyboard because I like the Holo UI look.
Kii. It has the option for the top number row like the stock keyboard, but it has autocorrect. I own Swiftkey also, but I hate it.
I use swiftkey from the market although the stock keyboard is kinda nice with the number row on top
installed the AOSP 4.2.2 keyboard. got so use to it when i was on my nexus, why change..
Check out the Swype keyboard I modded for a dedicated number row:

i am using the google keyboard currently, but looking for something with a little better flow. the fact that the comma key isn't on the letter screen bothers me.
+1 SwiftKey.

I've been using swiftkey but the lag the keyboard creates drove me crazy. I'm now using the Google keyboard and I bounce to the kii keyboard every once in a while.

I used to be a huge fan of kii. Then I found swift key.
Had some fun with touch pal.
But ended right back up with swift key
SwiftKey keyboard without a doubt.
