Hello there,
I find the stock keyboard pretty lousy, especially compared with my Galaxy Nexus.
- Many times the S3 suggests words starting with a dot (.). I wonder why.
- Most of the time I have to type a word until the last letter before the S3 "predicts" the word--usually Galaxy Nexus gets it right after just three letters.
- Finally, when I make a typo, rarely it corrects to the intended word; again Galaxy Nexus almost always gets the intended word right.
Do both phones have different prediction engines? Why would Samsung put a visibly less useful engine in the S3? Or do I do something wrong?
Just use latinIME.apk from a galaxy nexus rom.

I'm usign SwiftKey 3.
This is the best keyboard for Android, and work perfectly on SGSIII, with multi language support.

That's subjective.
The best stock Keyboard FOR ME is HTC. THe best 3rd party keyboard that emulates it is "Smart Keyboard"
Thanks, nodstuff!

I've used practically every keyboard available on S1, S2 and S3. Gingerbread keyboard is the only one I can use accurately and without it inserting some crappy suggestion. I got the one on my S3 from the Checkrom kitchenpro app.

What do you think is the best keyboard?
Personally I think swype is overrated. Gingerbread seems to be better but still lacking. I'm using smart keyboard now bc it has a free trial. I think I would prefer better keyboard bc of the skin support out there but it has no free trial. What do y'all think?
I personally use swype, even if it does miss some words occasionally.

+1 for smart keyboard... t9 mode for simple one handed typing with swipe right for QWERTY. Plus custom smilies and skins.

Smart keyboard pro, keyboard from Gingerbread 2.3, HTC ime mod, then swiftkey imo. Swype is a great concept but it falls short for far too many reasons.

I have Smart Keyboard Pro, Swype, and the Gingerbread keyboard. I think Gingerbread is the best of the three.

It does feel a bit small, but its so much more responsive than either of the other two. I think you just have to practice it and get used to it first.
I like the fact that SlideIt predicts the words you use the most.
Although, if you want to use another word, you have to pay attention to what you're doing. Otherwise it will use the word most used automatically. But is works wonders most of the time!
I'm really digging Smart Keyboard Pro [:
The T9 mode is sweet-- great for texting with one hand
Smartkeyboard pro. I like the skin support much better, I have about 30 skins, and they aren't clogging up my app tray because the skins are just zip files that you put in a folder called "skins". Its also extremely accurate and fast.
HTC_IME.
The original HTC Sense Keyboard is my favorite.
I don't like Swype or the default Android keyboard.
this is just a question is there a htc ime keyboard that works on cm7? if so can someone send me the file.

Its been so long since I've used the HTC keyboard I cant even remember what it was like. But...
Have you tried the AOSP Gingerbread keyboard? Its actually a huge improvement over the eclair/froyo Android keyboard. Its up there with Smart Keyboard Pro. The only reason I use Smart Keyboard Pro over the Ginger keyboard is that SK has skins

Oh wow thank you so much. Other ime's were just crashing on my aria. This one works great.
I have been using swiftkey pro for a few weeks now. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to display correctly in many apps because of the aria's small screen. Sometimes the keyboard covers up the text box, especially in landscape mode.

I'm glad it works for you.
I have a "Frankenstein" setup on my phone, which combines most of the best of each ROM (Liberated and CM7).
I like the look of Sense, but I also like CM7's flexibility and other features (like built-in SIP).
I also like some of the Sense widgets (e.g., Friendstream).
So I loaded up CM7, then LP Sense UI, which makes the phone look like Sense (with widgets, too).
Adding the original keyboard makes the phone easier to use.
Have fun!
I installed the Ice Cream Sandwich keyboard on my DHD, and it works perfectly. Then I installed it on my SGT 10.1, an it installs just fine but when I try to go to the settings it force closes every time. Is it not supposed to work on the SGT? Btw, I'm using Overcome 2.0.0

Just a fyi : the ice cream keyboards for lower versions than Android 4.0 don't use the sophisticated prediction model used by the ICS keyboard (which depends on 4.0 APIs). The author of the keyboard expressed it well. It is a migration of the old prediction model with the new theme and suggestion lint. It also hasn't bigram prediction.
to be honest, you're much better off getting Thumb Keyboard and using the ICS theme!
Looks great and works really well with the Tab!

Sent from my GT-P7500 using Tapatalk
you see the three buttons horizontally at the bottom of the screen in the first screenshot and vertically in the second screenshot, those change the keyboard layout as depicted in the button image (I discovered this by accidentally tapping one and seeing the layout change!)
The additional funky thing about the "offset to right" layout is that thanks to the wonder of multitouch, you can grip the tab with any of the "black" area to the left and the keyboard will still work as normal!

I was just curious as to what keyboard everyone is using on ICS ROMs. I used to use Smart Keyboard Pro, but it hasn't been working as well for me.
And I'm trying to deodex the newest Ineffabilis, but it's not working with the kitchen. Any ideas?
ICS Keyboard from the market. Works well and looks right.
I am using the one from the market too, but I really want the official ICS AOSP keyboard. Seems it won't work right as is, must be a lib or something i'm missing..

I'm using the latest Swype beta. I know the HTC keyboard has swipe input, but I just like the Swype keyboard the best.
Swype beta here, use hackers keyboard for terminal though, in landscape has all the keys need rather then flipping back and forth with different modes

Big fan of Thumbkeyboard here. Tons of great themes (ICS theme is sweet), multiple keyboard layouts, and good support. I use it on both my phone and tablet.
I use swiftkey X. I have been for a looong time. It's the best keyboard I've used.

I swap back and forth between swiftkey x and SmartKeyboard Pro.
I love using the compact qwerty version of Smart KB Pro in portrait for rocket fast texting, but swiftkey x has hands down the best word prediction.

I was very happy but I decided to give ICS keyboard by Johntanmi. THe auto correct on this thing is amazing. I am typing faster with less errors. I love it.

I was using SwiftX, but the ICS keyboard really nice.
I use Swype portrait and smart keyboard pro landscape. Keyboard manager from the market to flip them, been using this setup for over a year with about 15 different roms on 2 different devices.

hello, just wondering if there exist flashables for a few thing on an aosp rom.
1. S-memo and gestures
2. note 2 multi window
Currently using paranoidandroid.
thanks
1. No be an s-pen capable rom it has to be touch wiz based, there isn't a touch wiz based JB rom. True for any s-apps.
2. No for the millionth time no multi windows on the i717.
Yeah...I feel kinda stupid now that I've seen all the other questions posted. How about the Samsung keyboard with the hand writing feature?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Just visit the market for work-around apps. I'm sure there's a handwriting input keyboard.
I saw an s-pen emulator for JB/non-tw roms in the app section. GD-something or other. I tried it and thought it was effective.
Does anyone have a port of this keyboard that can be used on other devices?

Use swiftkey keyboard
Oh god I cant see why you would want to. I couldnt stand the stock keyboard. Went back to swype asap. Swiftkey is also good.
Hi, does anybody know how to create shortcuts on the G5? not sure if it's marshmallow that doesn't have this functionality or if it's LG
I'm also using swiftkey btw
Edit: I recently discovered textpand which I'm using to get around the lack of shortcuts on SwiftKey, works quite well https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.isaiasmatewos.texpand
I like the keyboard on the g5. Swype is good too but for some reason I like the design and layout of the stock key board. So does anyone have an apk for it by chance?
The Blackberry keyboard is the best! You have to try it guys.
I prefer the TouchPal keyboard

Google Keyboard. I want to like SwiftKey but it just feels laggy. The menus are laggy and thr letter preview stays too long.. Everything feels slow with it. Google is perfect and LG isnt too bad too.

i would like it too, used to use g3 keyboard but as my device is based on marshmallow now i cant use g3 anymore
I would also like it.
All the replacement apps are pants. Google keyboard is by far the best of the pretenders but swyping on it is laggy.
LG keyboard is flawless and corrects perfectly when setup properly.
Could do with it for another phone, but doubt anyone will have it.

How come there are no suggestions in Google Now search and some other in-app searches? I doubt there is something to configure user-side for that kind of permission
I would also like to install LG keyboad in my N phone (non-lg).. I like the swype cursor feature on the space bar (gboard has it, but I don't like google apps!)
please can somebody port it? thanks!
