I just downloaded flashed and booted.... I'm on clean 4.5
Am I just late to the party and everybody already has this....my speed on the keyboard is at least twice as fast with autocorrect.
Seriously people....DO THIS MOD!
Yeah, you are like 2 months behind
Great workaround!
The problem I've run into this mod is that adding autocorrect to the stock Samsung keyboard doesn't allow you to add words to the dictionary. If the keyboard decides to autocorrect something, that's pretty much it. Backspacing won't revert to your original spelling.
For example, it won't let you type iPhone. It autocorrects it to "I Phone" and won't let you do anything else.
Fortunately I found this awesome mod. It allows you to use whatever keyboard you want for typing. But also allows you to set up which keyboard to use when the sPen is detected.
I've set up JB AOSP keyboard as my default. But when I remove my sPen, the stock Samsung keyboard automatically pops up in handwriting mode.
Enjoy!

Just started using Swype. The standard keyboard is OK, and way more responsive than my old HTC Touch HD. But man Swype is good. Can type messages and emails much faster than I normally can manage.
Just thought I'd mention it in case nobody has seen/heard of it.
Can find out more here - http://www.swype.com

It really is the dogs cogs isn't it! I started off using SlideIT before they released Swype Beta.. didn't like swype at first.. but now I know how to use it.. I couldn't live without it!.. I was using it for ages before I realised that you can swype from the swype key to the "sym" key to bring up the direction and text editing keys...
Didn't know that about the text editing and direction keys. Cheers!

Swype's pretty awesome but I personally settled on Ultra Keyboard because I was used to the half-qwerty from my Touch HD.
Ultra Keyboard combines the two as well as giving you control over the size of the keys and a whole load of other options.
Speaking of awesome and intuitive keyboards, does anyone know what happenned with Blind Type? I remember hearing something about google buying it up (i THINK i remember that, anyway) and had pressumed that maybe it would be incorporated into a future model of Android, probably 2.3. Now I'm running on 2.3 and have heard nothing of Blind Type since then, I'm just wondering if anyone has any idea?
Definitely the best keyboard i've tried so far is SwiftKey, even better and Swype (i have them both).
Another vote here for swiftkey, the predictive text (once it's trawled through your old texts and emails) is nothing short of amazing.
Although the way it can actually predict the next word after you finish the current one is a little scary/depressing. Am i really *that* predictable?
I had installed swype on my xperia arc and tried it out for sometime. I was not happy or rather felt that the original default kb was better. I uninstalled swype. There was a different keyboard then instead of the original gingerbread one. I had to then do a factory reset to get back the original kb

i never got used to swype i prefer standard Gingerbread keyboard. was upset it wasn't included with the arc, but you can find the apk here on xda
Or you can just download the Gingerbread keyboard from the market for free.
i bought swiftkey and tried it for a week but sadly it did not seem to predict very well for me.. swype is much faster for me, even if i'm just typing not swyping. i'm always hitting the wrong keys with swiftkey.
I use SlideIT now for a long time, it is personal of course, but for me its perfect.

Agree
I am on the latest beta for Swype and have to agree its pretty awesome! +1
Nice, thx!
I use ultra keyboard. Unfortunately it mixes up multitouch keystrokes (registers on key release). FlexT9 is also nice, and it does correct multitouch recognition plus excellent speech recognition (Dragon dictate)
But ultra has nicer option buttons right there in the prediction area, with inline translation, copy paste etc, and better correction after mistakes. Biggest gripe is the incomplete dictionary, no auto training/learning on email sms, bad capital recognition (problem in German mainly). Nevertheless, overall best keyboard so far that I came across.
SlideIT cannot do multitouch at all, bummer, otherwise very good as well.
My friend introduced me to the Swype but I was quite content with the existing ones. May try it later.
definitely recommend swype! ben using it since my X1i
Swyped from my LT15i-Arc
I'm looking for SWYPE for Xperia neo. Can anyone help please?
@enboug
Get the latest Swype 3.0 beta here.
@ all
I would definitely recommend Swype to everyone. It's a no brainer! Why type when you can Swype?
And here are 7 Swype keyboard tips for better Swyping. It's definitely going to make your swyping experience better.
My only gripe with it is that I don't know how to insert a new line. All I see is a smiley button instead of the enter button.
EDIT: The smiley button is only there in the default messaging app. In other programs, it shows the enter key.
Just curious what you guys have found to be the best typing/testing method on the note. Im new not just to this phone but android as well. Im currently using whatever is default. With how big the keyboard is is it worth it using swype? Which predictive is best?
Thanks

Swype ftw just turn off auto correct
Sent from my oversized communication device. G-note
Thumb keyboard is the best I've tried. Love the customization. Swype is amazing too if you've never tried it. I ultimately had to switch back, which wasn't easy, because it really lacks customization (not like theme stuff but lower level stuff), because it was very annoying any time you had to manually type.

anyone know of a keyboard that lets you split it in two like those on the ipad?
Yeah in landscape mode i can type incredibly fast using the stock keyboard. The only Thing i don't like is if i type a word and dont realize it autod it wrong, that i can't select the word and bring up the word options, like you could with windows phone. Any of the aftermarket ones have that ability?

Ok so Swype has what I'm talking about there.this is actually pretty cool.I'm gonna mess around with this some more and see how I like it. Swype seems to work real smooth with the stylus and I don't have to I use landscape.

Thumb Keyboard has that ability. Press a word, and the autocorrect list pops back up. The only problem I've been having with it is sometimes while I'm typing it doubles the first letter (for example ssausage, or bbank) and it doesn't automatically correct the error when I hit space like it's supposed to. I have to manually go back and delete the extra character. Happens quite often, and I don't know why. I'm actually thinking about trying out some different keyboard because of it. The default keyboard didn't have that issue.
Could someone please explain to me if Swype is coming out for the SGS3. I know Samsung has built in most of Swypes settings into the standard Samsung keyboard setting, but there are quite a few changes that are really not as good as using this keyboard on the SGS2. For example, a long hold of backspace would delete the last word - now it is a time oriented press. If you type a word then tap on it after typing to change it to one of the other suggested words, the suggested words no longer appear.
Any ideas?
http://jbthemes.com/djdarkknight/daswypethemes/
Download any of those.
The samsung keyboard on the SGS3 has an option to allow swipe!
It has swype built in.
I know it is inbuilt but the inbuilt is nowhere near as good as the Swype that was on my SGS2, hence the questions.
Will try a theme, thanks!
Thank you for the link, but all of those don't seem to display properly on the SGS3 - they seem to only take up half the allocated space for a keyboard? Any alternatives?
Try to find swype for Galaxy Note. I am not allowed to post here but it shouldn't be a problem.
Yes the inbuild its not even close to swype.
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 @??

I love that the "swype" feature is now incorporated, because it honestly just saves me so much time. However, compared to one of the customs ones I had last year, it's - sad to say - garbage.
On the one I used before, and I believe even the swype app, there were a few differences that made it great for me. The three major drawbacks I find are (1) when I use a browser and do "swype", the words do not automatically get spaced, even though they will in a text or whatnot. (2) If I push backspace, because the wrong word has been chosen, I have to backspace letter-by-letter instead of just deleting the whole word in one go. (3) The worst is that several words that my older keyboard would guess right without issue will just not come up on this keyboard. At one point I got a word, had to delete it, re-needed that word, and it would no longer come up... On top of that, I expect certain words like "dalvik" to be picked up on.
Anyways, is it just me, or is anyone else noticing this?
I can also upload the keyboard I was using, it's was based on 4.2 and can be flashed. Very seldom will younotice anything buggy, and even if so, it is nothing that impedes on your typing or from the keyboard functioning as it should.
I'm using Swype+Dragon and I admit that this keyboard isn't that great the space button is so small and they're trying to pack everything into a small amount of space but it's not as bad either. I've been using jelly bean keyboard for quite some time and love it. I used other keyboards but nothing compares to the jelly bean keyboard just need to have more themes for it. The only reason I'm using Swype is because the keyboard theme goes with the rest of the theme for my phone.

You can try SwiftKey. I've used it on my S3 and now on my S4. It has Swype features they call "Flow" Try it out, you might like it.
I'll take a look for the SwiftKey. I did find a keyboard that has bigger buttons if anyone is interested in trying that.
