Has anyone ported the WP7 keyboard to the atrix? I like the tall buttons.

That has a WP7 skin
Yea thanks. I tried that one out and its pretty good - but it doesn't have the ability to save words down that you type like the gingerbread keyboard does.

I was wondering if there is way to make the keyboard any smaller
Not really, The keyboard layout is part of the input interface.
If you need a smaller keyboard, you will have to look for one, but that will not include swype.
Why would you want to do that? It's small as it is.
Hello everybody!
Yesterday I bought a Archos 70 IT 250 GB and I'm very pleased with it. All works like a charm, only, i'm using the standard Android keyboard, which is quite ok, but I would like to know if there are better alternatives??
Could anyone tell me their opinion about which keyboard could be better?
Thanks all!
Cheers,
Jeroen
I use the Swype Keyboard on my A70, and it's very fast. Thumb Keyboard isn't bad at last.
But I use also the standard keyboard.
I like the Thumbs keyboard
SmartKeyboard in my opinion is best choice: mutitouch keyboard with lot of options, gestures handling and t9 support.
Swiftkey here
I would love to get Flex T9 but the Market doesn't show it to me. In the meantime, Swiftkey is good and gets better as it collects your frequently used words that aren't in the standard dictionary.

Ditto, it is also running great on my phone
How did you guys get swype working? It wouldn't run on my 70, I'm currently using the big thumb keyboard but would rather use swype, thanks guys!
Update, I installed SlideIT keyboard from the market which is just like swype and that works great.
In landscape mode a tad bit of the end buttons are covered by the Archos home keys but they still work fine. It is VERY fast.
Honestly I'd give this one a try -> https://market.android.com/details?id=com.moo.android.inputmethod.latin.free
Make sure you set your language in the options, otherwise nothing will appear.
It's a very awesome keyboard and I can type much faster than the 2.2 keyboard.
Swype looks good but it doesn't work for me, tried latest beta.
www.8pen.com
If anyone has particular interest in the 8pen keyboard, I would like to request a slight mod for the app.
8pen has an awesome option to switch to a standard qwerty keyboard quickly. The keyboard though seems to be the Gingerbead keyboard.
Being an HTC follower, I was wondering if someone would be up for the challenge of exchanging the built in GB keyboard in the 8pen for the HTC keyboard (without cursor arrows found in Synergy).
Is this possible?
Currently I'm running the jellybam rom and was wondering if there were any mods or apps or options I'm missing to change the qwerty keypad in portrait to a t9 style keypad like in sense roms. I've noticed most senseless roms are missing this option and I'm old school and prefer the t9 myself. any help is appreciated thanks

Old school indeed holy sheet of paper. Maybe you should search t9 in play store found a keyboard there just fine. Perfect keyboard free.

No there are too many dependencies in the HTC keyboard. Whats wrong with the Samsung keyboard? I think its the best keyboard I have seen.

nope its bad i like th look of the HTC keyboard and it works nicely.
for me the Samsung keyboards keys are too small UI for it is horrible most people i know with Samsung devices remove that keyboard as soon as they get it they usually go swype or swift key.
i would pay 2.99 to 4.99 for the blackberry 10 keyboard which is bastes on swift key prediction with blackberry's own code / prediction engine on it and the way we can flick up words on that keyboard means the bar with auto correction predictions is no longer taking up real-estate they should sell that keyboard its amazing on the Z10.
ah well stick with what i got thanks for the heads up on the HTC dependencies
Check keyboard thread in theming and apps and you might find something you like
