Mainly wondering if there is a way to get the samsung board on aosp roms. I really like having the #'s row, ability to swipe, and have one handed option all in one board. I honestly like the aosp board better in terms of word prediction and typing accuracy but reaching that # button in the bottom left-hand corner is a pain for me. Is it possible? What are good alternatives?
Google keyboard or swiftkey. Doesn't have a number row but you can make the long press key time extremely short and it makes typing numbers so fast as if its just letters

I havent tried swiftkey in a year probably. Will check em both out. I flashed tw before I went to bed and started using my phone today and thought "wth was I thinking" haha. But the keyboard is ok(in landscape). Even the fullsize tw keyboard is easier for one hand use than the aosp kb on this phone imo

I have a few paid keyboards and my favorite is kii keyboard. It also has the number row option.
Have tried and purchased probably every keyboard out there over the last two years. My favorite so far is ironically the Google Keyboard. Super simple and works good. Does everything I need it to and does it well.
Only ironic because its free and still better than most paid keyboards. Although no numbers row is slightly disappointing I feel like it is something we will see down the road.

I have to agree with the above poster. Kii Keyboard is my favorite. I use it on most of my devices, including my Note II. It has all the features of the Samsung Keyboard and many many more, including themes, recolors, and even the ability to take the appearance of other popular keyboards. I love having the ability to customize it to fit my needs for the day or task. Link below to get it from the Play Store.

It always has to a degree. It doesn't come straight out and give that option, it like most things takes a bit of tweaking. Since I have quite large hands, it never has been an issue for me so I didn't both writing down the exact settings I used to achieve it, but under keyboard layout, you would pick the keyboard layout you want, then go further down and mess with either the left or right padding options based on where you want it, and that quickly and easily creates a one-handed keyboard that you can fully adjust the sizing of as you desire by just tweaking those settings.

Well, Swiftkey X has lost its appeal to me.
What are some of the best keyboards out there that, as odd a request as it might seem, are also light on system resources?
I just like a snappy keyboard that doesn't take two seconds to pop up or disappear, and doesn't 'stumble' when typing (no input for a sec, then all of a sudden puts in your last 3 strokes).
I don't need much in terms of theming, but the one thing I found with Swiftkey that I REALLY fell in love with was the ability to change the long key press time threshold...for example, I decreased it from like 500ms to 250ms...it makes typing for me a whole lot faster. Are there any other keyboards with that?
Thanks for your input fellas.
My swipe pops up right away. However, I HATE typing passwords or usernames with it. I know that doesn't really help, as I cna't find any keyboards I like... I can't stand swiftkey, especially with the browser, as that .com is ALWAYS in the way when I try to search. For general use, I like the stock keyboard actually... its less laggy than the froyo one was, but it still is a bit laggy...
i used for a while go keyboard, but now i'm using thumb keyboard 4 and it's highly customizable, fast no lags, perfect for my big fingers

I've been eyeing that one and think I'll check out the free demo/trial they have.
Unfortunately, Mgamerz, I kinda don't like any swype keyboards. I actually tried going back to it for a while when Swiftkey started fading and still couldn't get into it.
Thanks for the input guys.
I'm using thumb keyboard and its pretty good. Really like the portrait layout, making it soeasy to type.
It would be much better if it let me customize every single keys so I can make my own layout or keys that I use often.

Well I was mistaken, there is no demo.
But you like it? Never ran into any lag? I see a review here and there that says it lags but it was literally only like 2, and one of them was using the LG optimus (the little crappy one T-mobile has, I think)
@knjigo: You're right...I don't like swyping though. Plus, I'm actually referring not to the length of the vibration feedback, but to how long it takes for, say, when I press a letter at the top with a number mapped "under" it for the long keypress, I could actually change how long I had to wait while pressing the letter to get the number to pop up.
I like it. Using it since alien rom and now I'm using cm7. I have experienced NO lag at all on this beast.

This really is quite silly of Samsung. The keyboard has auto prediction and in my experience the auto prediction works quite well. The problem is that the keyboard will only input what you actually type regardless of whether or not it's correct. If you want to enter a predicted word you have to tap it yourself. I can't imagine it would be too difficult for Samsung to change the keyboard to favor the top predicted word, which would essentially be auto correct.
I'm still using the Samsung keyboard though because I'm getting along with the Swiftkey flow integration rather nicely.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
I'm actually really happy for the number row since I use numbers frequently and it was a pain having to constantly toggle it on/off. And, that auto-correction is disabled as I usually disable it any. Just had to turn off auto-spacing and auto-capitalization because it was wreaking havoc on authenticating into web sites like this one as it was adding a space in-between my password. Good riddance I say...

It is reported that upcoming 4.1.2 (not 4.2) enhancements will include integrated "swyping" functionality into the keyboard so it wouldnt make sense for them not to rectify the autocorrection issue.

Did the stock Sammy JB keyboard in the GS3 have no autocorrect either? Or does that phone still run ICS?
I might just have to switch to Swiftkey or Thumb Keyboard again - but that number row is GREAT - it is hard to turn away from it.
Yeah I went back to the stock samsung keyboard just cuz of the numbers... silly but I'm loving it! Just hooing for auto-correction. Maybe if they dont fix it someone will come out with a 3rd party with numbers!

Yup, no autocorrect. I'm using Swiftkey now.

Liking it mostly. I just don't like that I can't click on a word and have it bring up other words you might have wanted, ala what swype does. I find myself having to change quite a few words.
Anyone get the flow without a space for a sentence to work? I tried it on a pretty basic sentence and it just double vibrated at me and did nothing.
Kind of a lag on a tablet but I like the effects going to try this on my nex4

Really bugs me that in a "name" field or box, it won't let me swype. Have to enter each letter individually. Haven't found the setting to change that yet...
So far I'm really liking it! Honestly I never really liked the "swipe" style typing but I've been using it on the stock HTC keyboard and now I'm hooked! I have been a huge fan of swift key and have the pro version paid for four a long while now.. Their predictive text is just great and adding the swipe text "flow" is really cool.

Its still in beta and there is a feedback link within the settings of the app im sure they are open to suggestions!
and im definitely and advocate for swype but i find the individual key entry which is so necessary to be far to clunky and innacurate where as this finds a happy medium that im very satisfied with. also folks remember this is beta so they will be releasing a polished version sooner or later. if you have complaints voice them from within the apps feedback section
I find the prediction on Flow to be worse than Swype, but it would be servicable if not for not showing multiple predictions when typing on a word. If you make a mistake it takes a while to correct it, but that's to be expected with a beta. It has potential working off of SwiftKey 3's great prediction software.
So, the stock keyboard seems to absolutely suck.
Most of the text predictions seem to be proper nouns from a long dead Eastern European language and every time I look for an "m" I trigger the delete key.
I can't always have 2 hands free to operate this behemoth, so I need a keyboard set up on the right hand side. Do any of them do it other than the retarded stock ap?

That's a nice list but it still doesn't answer the question regarding which ones are resizeable for one handed operation on this phone. So far I've found that Kii and SlideIT are acceptable alternatives but Kii keyboard is not moveable from one side to the other. I still like the stock Samsung keyboard better if it just had auto correct.
Sometimes changing the DPI on the keyboard will move it over, but personally I like Swype. I use it normal, but what really helps the one handed use across the whole device is my Flygrip. Best accessory I've ever bought.

Yes but that requires going into the settings every time you want to switch sides. I'm talking about the ability to switch sides quickly for using with either hand.

I'd only used the samsung keyboard for about a week and was already accustomed to using the top row numbers.

I'm digging TouchPal. Have you compared the two? Instead of long pressing, TouchPal allows you to press on key and slide up to choose upper character (number),slide down for punctuation. You can also press delete button or slide from delete left to delete entire word. Finally, it suggests words that show up between the keys that can be selected by dragging then to space bar. I also forgot that you can slide space bar up to select emotions. I'm sure there's more... LOL

Just rooted yesterday, stock ROM. I can't believe how much I miss auto-correct, yikes..
This is by far my favorite keyboard that I have used and I've used them all! Lol
I turned on the gestures (swipe) and turned off the sound and haptic feedback. Unlike some swipe keyboards, this one actually let's you type or swipe without screwing up if you fat thumb it because it "thinks" you're trying to swipe.
Doesn't take much to get used to, but IMO this is the best kB that I've used on my S3, Note2 and now my S4
Good luck

I think two best keyboards with auto-correct are as follows:
International Galaxy S4 Keyboard
and
Google Keyboard
I personally use the International S4 keyboard that built-in to the Hyperdrive ROM and it does a really good job without any lag.
Swift key has quite possibly the best auto correction I've ever used... And it's predictive text is eerily accurate. Almost as if it's mind reading. It also learns your typing style and language style from sms and twitter etc... The "swipe" feature (which swift key calls 'flow') is really cool because unlike with swype and Google keyboard, you don't have to lift your finger to start a new word. You can swipe to the space bar and just keep on swiping to the next word. And it works really well.
I typed this entire post (with the exception of the parentheses and punctuation) without lifting my finger once.
There is a free trial. And once it runs out auto correction disables, but you can still use the keyboard for free... I've tried a whole lot of keyboards and this is by far the best and worth the couple of bucks.
It's rare for an app/developer to truly impress me and provide an app I feel is worth paying money for, deserve support, are essential for all of my devices and are used daily; apps like nova launcher, titanium backup, sliding messaging, Tapatalk, poweramp and tablet talk... To me, swift key is one of those essential apps.

Have to agree with SwiftKey it is pretty good! I love mine and pretty fast predictions!

Anyone know a keyboard similar to the stock one with the # row up top. Love that feature but want to use it on an AOSP ROM

I really like Swype. He's a good mix of swiping and tapping
+1 for Swiftkey. It learns what/how you normally type to people. Example, It knows full sentences of stuff I say to my gf often to the point that all I have to do is keep hitting the space bar to type a full sentence.
Like a few others have already said, SwiftKey is probably the best keyboard available.

I just signed up to be a beta tester and although it took some time for me to get used to it since its a whole new typing experience, now that i've gotten used to it, i'm flying on this keyboard. Best auto-cprrect in my opinion. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.syntellia.fleksy.kb

Yup. Swiftkey is overrated IMO, but that's the best thing about droids. Everyone can use what they want/like/use to. Like I mentioned before, I've tried em all. Including swift and honestly I still like Kii better than Gingerbread kB, jellybean kB, Swiftkey, ICS kB, TW kB etc...
But yet again, to each their own...
(Kii with gesture enabled and no sound or vibrate) and it too learns your words and sentences. So much so, that there have been times where it knows my next word and I've typed almost a whole sentence just by hitting the next word it predicted

I'll have to check this one out too, but I just HAD to point out the irony about you saying how good the autocorrect is and totally borked the word "correct". Lol

im not a swiper.. so THUMB KEYBOARD rules for me.
I'm also one who prefers Kii over swiftkey. I like the layout better. One thing that drives me nuts in swiftkey is the .com button. It shortens the space bar and since I frequently search from the address bar I end up hitting it a lot and inserting a .com in my search.

I was a big supporter of Swiftkey, mainly for the auto correct funtion when typing. I have to say though that if you're addicted to swyping your words as opposed to typing, Google Keyboard is way better at getting it on the first go round. It's great if you need to reply to something, and you need your eyes elsewhere (not encouraging you to do so though )
Anyways, In order of opinion
Google Keyboard
Swiftkey 4
Swype
I'm using the Google Keyboard right now on my S4. I wish the Samsung keyboard worked better with autocorrect, but even with the international version with AC on, it lags behind my typing
SwiftKey Flow
Rooted S4
Just tried the Google kB and gave it a fair run to win me over and I'm still Kii all the way!
