Fix for jellybean crappy keyboard? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Hey all, just wondering of there is any fix for the crappy laggy stock sense keyboard on jellybean? Before getting this phone I heard good things about how accurate and awesome the ics keyboard was. Then jellybean happened.
So yeah, any ideas? Maybe even put the ice keyboard in a jellybean Rom?

You can download the jelly Jean android keyboard from the market. It isn't as fancy looking as htcs but it does have swipe.
Its the only one I use.

Has anyone tried Kii Keyboard? I actually switched from being a longtime Swiftkey user and I like Kii better. It has more customizations and the predictions are great. It swypes as well. Currently in beta, all premium options are included. Development support is awesome!

Hello everyone I'm a proud owner of a EVO 3D coming from a Nexus S 4G and boy the only thing I miss is the keyboard...
Anyone know how I can get the stock Gingerbread from Google?
And yes I know I can find copies or similar on the market but I want the original.

The plus version of the above linked app lets you set custom key heights, so you can make the keyboard as tall as you want. Give it a shot in the first 15 minutes to see if its worth your washington.
EDIT: It looks smaller because its made for WVGA phones, not qHD, which is 160 pixels taller, so the keyboards much shorter in comparison to the relative height it would have be the original EVO.
That's what I assumed. Is the Droid X 2 qhd?
Edit: Yes, it is qhd. If I remember right, I kinda liked the multi touch keyboard that was ported from the original Droid X. I'll see what I can find

The better keyboard believe or not works better than the stock I would recommend trying it out I never use to like it but they made alot of improvement
sent from my HTC EVO 3d
The one from the Market is the same size. The reason it seems smaller is because the 3D is qHD resolution (960x540) vs the Nexus S 4G @ 840x480.
Thanks everyone I now have been playing with the on you guys recommended me and its way better than stock or swipe...
Again thanks

Touchwiz in inferior. Hence the reason they want sense.

Best Keyboard

Hello to all,
Besides the Android Keyboard, the Optimus G came with an LG keyboard that was very similar to swype. After changing back and forward from the LG keyboard and the stock android keyboard, I decided to give a try in my new Optimus G to the Swype Beta that is free and doesn't have a time limit or any advertising/spamming adware.
Long story short, I find the Swype Keyboard the best and most accurate for me in the Optimus G.
Try it, and let me know if you consider another keyboard better for the Optimus G.

Hope it helps.

I love Swiftkey too, if only they would add the saved/pinned text feature. I would be all over it.
Swype beta FTW ... I've tried to stop using it several times (because of their PITA install/update process) but I always come back.
Edit: the now testing the new SwiftKey Flow.

Definitely gonna have to vote Swiftkey 3!

The flow through space part needs some work, but swiftkey word prediction is definitely second to none.

Out of curiosity, did you notice in settings you can change the flow thru space behavior? Maybe that will help you out?

Android 4.2 keyboard and clock on CM10

The two things about android 4.2 that I miss are the keyboard (which in many ways is better than Swype) and the clock (which is WAY better than the old one).
Has anyone got these running on our new CM10?

What happened to the original "bubbly" prediction text that used to float above your finger as you swipe.. Now it's just an unreadable box with plain text..
Boring..
Anybody know the answer to this?
