Which is better? SwiftKey 3 Beta or SwiftKey X? The beta is free and SwiftKey X is $2.99 on the Play Store
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA
I have both and X has more options but beta has better predictive text and it looks better.

The predictive text is the reason I use it. So in that case for me, their really isn't any reason to pay for the one on the Play Store

I have X but been using Beta instead, one thing I don't like about the beta is that they took out the ? key and put it under periods key. Other then that, keyboard have been awesome, like if you type few words together without spacing, it will show up in the suggestion box and space those words out for you.
I always miss typing the space in X so I really like that feature in the Beta. I got X for free from the Amazon Store, but I read that if you bought X from Google SwiftKey will give you 3 when it's out of beta.
Word of warning, if you don't want to pay, don't use the beta because you'll fall in love with it and have to buy it when it's out of beta. It won't be free forever.

good to know X is getting the upgrade when it comes out, I pay mine for $ 0.10 only when google was having a sale and Yea thats true hahahaha once you use it you'll fall in love with it~ but I'm sure it's worth the money, you own't regret getting it.
For me I always type the space, but stupid phone always go unresponsive from time to time so none of the space got inputted.
Any update on if you guys love SwiftKey or Swype more? Or perhaps another great keyboard?

Depends on how your typing preference is, if you like swiping along the words or just like typing normally. Just get something you're comfortable with using.

Really? So any app you get from the Amazon appstore has to have it running in the background to work?
Please elaborate on this. Is this true? I do kind of wonder what the catch is to amazon giving away free apps.

Smart keyboard pro
Flext9
Basically swipe with better customizations and word correction
Then swiftkey x, since I like the arrow/ cursor option
I like Gingerbread Keyboard
The original and official Galaxy S keyboard that comes on the Galaxy S official stock ROM. None of the custom ROMs or the galaxy S keyboard that people ahve released suposedly being the official one are the same as the true original one.
But since that one is so hard to come by I like Swiftkey X. Got it free from Amazon. My 2nd favorite "aftermarket" keyboard would be Smart Keyboard Pro

We are. The thread is about the best keyboard. Most people here seem to prefer other keyboards besides stock EVO one so stop trying to bait me when you aren't complaining about anyone else who also prefers something besides the stock EVO keyboard.

Swype beta 3
I have been using SwiftKey since it was free on the amazon app store recently and its been great I highly recommend it.
I switched from swype beta 3 to SwiftKey x just recently since it was free on amazon and haven't looked back. The word recognition is way better than swype.

SwiftKey X is on sale for ten cents right now in the Android Marketplace. It's a really nice keyboard program that uses your Facebook, Twitter & contacts to do better predictive typing and is highly customizable. Great deal, not sure how long it will last but the regular price is $3.99.

I know they had mentioned a few times they wouldn't forget about 7" tablets. Very few of those are of such a high res. And they are developing a phone version. And they showed it running on a 7" tablet. Bottom line, IMHO we should be OK.

It would, it would just take some very minor APK changes i believe
So dont give up hope
Yeah the lack of launchers is probably the worst thing about being on honeycomb. Sense launcher/AOSP launcher, nearly identical aside from the fact that the AOSP one sports a sense-ish look and supports the sense widgets. Its not terrible, but the lack of folder support sucks, and there really isn't any real alternatives for honeycomb other than Go Launcher HD, but even then you loose your WYSIWYG widgets, and the launcher is still in early stages and imo kind of an ugly beast at this point. All the phone launchers work fine, but they don't support the honeycomb look. ADW EX is supposed to work pretty well for honeycomb but they hosed it with the last update...in December so I think Anderweb is gone.
So I do hope this launcher does pan out to give us another alternative.

I went back and re-read the info they provided. After commenting that their initial release was to be targeted at the 10" tablet they did say they planned to support 7" tablets. I thought I saved the paragraph to Pocket but I don't have it so I can't provide the exact quote.

I acquired an APK just now. Works on HC, will test on ICS soon.
I will drop a hint: GIYF
If you guys want a small review or anything if it's worth your money just ask.
$10? Jeez my interest just faded. No matter how cool it is its just a launcher. I have a hard time spending that kind of cash on anything for android! It's like that spb shell launcher. It looks gorgeous but it's $14. What if I don't like it? Then I got 15 minutes to get a refund.
Maybe they should give you a week trial with this stuff. The money might be worth it but you just don't know. It's still in beta so hopefully they have a trial when it launches

I honestly wouldn't call it a beta. It's more of an alpha as you can't add your own widgets or have your on wallpaper.

well why would they release it before the One? if they want the phone out there, it seems like post-One is the way to go. You get people to buy your flagship first. If there are others who didnt want the flagship or just never even considered it because of price, then they'll be up for this phone. Many who would buy the mini would have never bought the One in the first place, but you have to lead with your flagship.

Yeah it should be free. HTC is probably doing to make some money from this because people will think its a smaller HTC One. Its not. It's **** that looks the same.
Free? Why would it be free? The phone makes total sense... Once the max comes out they'll have a perfect line of One devices. Small, Medium, and Large.
There has to be some differences in specs between the three.
And why wright the specs off as crappy? They almost match the moto x at half the price. And there's plenty of reviews that say the mini runs great.
Man you guys are freaking jaded...

My cousin just got the One Mini and the first thing she said about it is it's the same size as an iPhone. It's her first Android phone and so far no complaints. It's just a watered down One but it is quite smooth and snappy for those specs plus its got the front speakers and most of the perks of the One. For a mid range phone, it sure can't be beaten!

To disable the facebook, all you do is click on facebook home and unchecke it from lockscreen and uncheck it for launcher . Then just set are launcher. As always .
