Just curious to know what keyboard you guys all use?
I use SwiftKey.
Swiftkey
Maybe would have been better with a poll.
Stock Android Gingerbread keyboard, the "Samsung" keyboard is a joke compared to the stock experience. Sometimes Swype, but not usually.
stock ginger keyboard here.
The awesome thing that is Swiftkey, of course !
Stock Samsung.

SwiftKey all the way.
Tried a few and I have finally settled on SwiftKey, I used a Desire Z for 4 months so its gonna take some time getting used to a virtual keyboard again but the extra width and bigger keys is a huge help.

By the way millions of regular users use what is selected by default which means samsung keypad or swype.

Stock Gingerbread from the Market.
I'm using the HTC_IME mod for the Desire. Used it for months and I prefer it to the installed keyboards.

How did you get this working, I tried just copying the one over from my old HD2 mod but then cancelled when it said touch input will replace system settings or something along those lines and now get force closes even though I've removed it. Can this work alongside the other keyboards or do you have to replace? If replace, how can I backup the standard please?
Sorry for all the questions and thanks.

The HTC MOD one is really good, i used it with my Galaxy S. you need this version (which i am using): .
Just a little test for the various keyboards out there, over the many months since i first got my first Galaxy s, i have tried many many different keyboards and none, except the HTC MOD one, would allow you to enter anything into the drop down 'search this thread' box on xda's full site which i always found strange, granted, you have to be in landscape and it takes a couple of touches of the box to allow you type anything, but no other keyboard i have tried will allow you to do this! I challenge anyone to find a keyboard that does.
All of you using the Swiftkey or Smartkeyboard....
I tried using both. But in the email composition application neither of those keyboards shows word suggestions...i.e. in Swift key the word prediction bar appears in all apps except email compose mode. In Smartkeyboard, the word suggestions appear in all apps except in email compose mode.
Am I the only one facing this issue???
Please help. Because of the above I am having to live with the default Samsung Keyboard.
Thanks so much for the HTC keyboard link. The stock keyboard is very frustrating. I'd tried lots of others but all had their problems. This has improved my phone tremendously!
Hey guys,
Are there any good modded keyboards out there for the Rezounds high resolution screen that can be made a little taller?
I've tried a ton of keyboards and most are too small on the Rezound's screen - Swype is too small, TouchPal doesn't even fill up the width of the screen, FlexT9 is too small, the HTC IME mod I loved on my DINC is super tiny.
I like the HTC Trace keyboard but it seems a tad laggy compared to the HTC IME i used on my DINC.
SwiftKeyX can be enlarged to a perfect height, but also seems a bit laggy to me (and I hate the 4 available themes).
UltraKeyboard has lots of great custom tweaks and can be made the tallest of any of the others, but the typing and swiping accuracy isn't the best.
Ideally, I'd love to see modded version of the HTC Trace keyboard that can be modded like the HTC IME - it was super fast/responsive and had lots of custom tweaks (long press duration, swipe left to delete last word, etc).
I like the combo of type and swipe, but none seem very good in the market.
Anything out there that's really good for the Rezound you can recommend?

Tried Go Keyboard too. A little on the small side and didn't keep up with fast typing.
The one i just installed that I like best right now is Smart Keyboard Pro. It keeps up better than the stock one for fast typing and has LOTS of custom themes and settings.
This one below with the red accents matches the Rezound pretty well...

Go Keyboard was ok, not great for me. I had the Go Keyboard on the top setting for height (5 i believe) and it's at least 1/2 inches shorter than the Smart Keyboard Pro setting I have which i like a lot better. The keys themselves seemed smaller too compared to the stock keyboard.
I like to type fast and the haptic feedback on some of these keyboards doesn't keep up well and throws me off. Smart Keyboard definitely is a tad faster than these others with the haptic (which i have to have on) and has been very accurate too, which is the other issue i had with some of these other keyboards.
Is the word prediction on Smart Pro as good as SwiftKey X? It will even predict well known names--amazing. I probably only have to type 60-70% of the time and I guess coming from my Dinc, this keyboard seems much larger.
Guess I'll take a peek at Smart Pro
Smart KB Pro is by far my favorite KB at this point and I've tried them all.
SwiftkeyX has a little better prediction for sure but I still don't really like it at all.
You guys using smart keyboard, how do you get your skins to show up again? For me, it doesn't show up on sdcard2, nor the internal sdcard. I gave up on using it because I don't really like those stock skins it comes with

You need to manually add a folder to the internal sdcard (wouldn't recognize on the external sd card (so dont put it in sdcard 2) and name it 'skins' . Then put the zip files for the themes you've downloaded into it.
Now, when you go to general settings the preview of your downloaded themes will show up too...
There's a ton of themes to choose from in their forum's

WOW, that skin is awesome -I just installed it.
Thanks for posting that.
Anyone having trouble getting the skins to show for Smart Keyboard Pro? I just tried installing this skin using the folder steps, but even though it shows a preview in the settings menu, it never shows it outside of the settings. None of the other skins will work either, even the ones that come with the app.
Anyone have any ideas? I have already tried rebooting and reinstalling the app
Make sure the skins folder is on the INTERNAL memory, not your card.
Ur problem is that u use haptic feedback. Such a terrible idea. Shut that off and ur typing will be smooth

i still like better keyboard haha
Is it possible to use the Swiftkey keyboard and us Google voice to text at the same time. I like the Swiftkey word correction and keyboard style but I personally. Hate its voice to text
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
not related to swiftkey and google voice, but swype with dragon go is pretty sweet.
Only solution I've found when using an alternative keyboard is to pull down the notification when in a text input area. You should see a keyboard icon and "Select Input Method" in the Notifications.
This only lets you select the Google Voice Typing for that one instance.
I don't understand why the alternative keyboards don't allow you to select the default voice input, but it is what it is...
There's gotta be a better way but I'm having the same problem too. I love swiftkey but hate its voice to text. I've been looking for this for a couple days and posted on Android Central a out it but nothing so far. I'll come back if I find something.
Has anyone found a fix to this? I would also like to know the solution. I enjoy SwiftKey's keyboard, however, I prefer the voice-to-text feature found on Android's default keyboard...
You may want to check out AI type Keyboard Plus (similar to Swiftkey keyboard) as it uses the ICS voice to text feature as default
Do you use that? And if so have you used swiftkey 3?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Yes I use both and honestly I think the AI plus keyboard is just as good as Swiftkey. The one thing I really like about it is that the predictions bar works in almost every app, unlike Swiftkey, which only works ,at least for me, in certain apps.
There is a free version if you want to try it out
Cool I'm gonna try it out tonight. I live swiftkey but I want to use the vtt more and doing like theirs. Google definitely made theirs much better on ics.

Vote here and they will hopefully integrate voice typing from ICS/JB
Hey there guys, I have been on the hunt for the Best Android Keyboad, and I wanted to see what everyone here was using?? I have tried stock, predictive, and the slide type, (I have not had the chance to play with any of the other 3rd party keyboards, with all sorts of different technology's.
So, I was wondering if some of you fellow xda-ers wanted to weight in on this, and help guide me on my adventure??
Thanks in advance :cool

swype for normal language but my most preferred is hackers keyboard. latter has a full keyboard like on pc when in landscape mode. pretty awesome on big screens like galaxy note. also almost every keyboard has the stupid white text entry over the entire remaining screen where there is not the keyboard, which hides my chat windows away and makes landscape a pain. hackers keyboard does not do such. you have keyboard and chatlog.
I like Android 4.2's stock keyboard. It has everything you need. Predictive text, spell-checking, gesture typing, multiple finger gesture typing. I use English Azerty, and it is just great for me!
Swype, until I get 4.2
MultiLink keyboard :thumbup:

Swype, although the 4.2 keyboard's implementation of this looks nice. I also like Hacker's Keyboard on my tablet which is just a PC looking keyboard layout. If they could implement a Swype functionality with it then it would be my favorite.
Swiftkey 3 is my Favourite.
Simply because
1)It is more intuitive than the rest, thus producing more CORRECT Auto Correction
2)It learns your way of typing and in real time monitors all that you type and maintains your individual statistics
3)It individually Learns from your fb,sms,email and twitter threads.
4)It also provides a good number of visual customization options
Thus overall it proves to be the best package

Thanx guys for the input, and all the great info I find ShayonX, IMO, as to swiftkey 3, and as far as "prediction boards", go I think there is no better. I was actually going to go with swiftkey 3, but I just found it was lacking on skins, and customization. I like to be able 2 change the size, and width of my characters, (due to wide fingers), and skins are a great Addition
I tried Swift key 3, touchpal keyboard, go keyboard, and perfect keyboard, and ended up going with "perfect keyboard, bcuz the customization is very deatailed. I also tried swype style keyboard, but I found predictive to be the style for me.
I am running the Moto Phonton, so I won't be getting the 4.0 or 4.2 update, so is there anything else out there to look @??

Okay,I got the phone everything is all good,not rooted,stock everything,but one problem is I can't use a Third Party keyboard,I download the keyboards from the play store right? But how I can use em? The stock keyboard is still showing up,third party keyboards ain't workin,no option to even change the default keyboard.
Activate the keybord in settings, then just click in any text box, you should see a keyboard image appear in your status bar, pull the status bar down and click on "choose input method" then choose K/B you want
