Is it possible to install the stock android keyboard? I don't like the the samsung keyboard but don't want to install a custom ROM. Thanks.
Download the Swype beta msn. It's free indefinitely. It's the best keyboard on the market

He said stock android, not swype.. And swype being the "best" is all opinion. I cant stand swype. To me swiftkey 3 is the best
You can (with no root) just sideload the .apk of the android keyboard as well.
LatinIME.apk is the file.

Where can I download just the APK? Thanks.
Never mind I found it, how do I replace the enter key with the smiley icon?
Go to the Play Store and search for in one word "QuickShortcutMaker"
Download and install it
Then open app and there are two tabs Activities and Applications
Click Applications. Type in Watch
When it shows up click it
Then u can click TRY or just name it what u want
Then click ok it will add shortcut to one of ur home screens and there u go
U can also search for VOICE RECORDER also
ENJOY
REPLY WITH QUESTIONS OR IF U GET IT WORKING
PS HTC Watch was always on ur phone Verizon just Hide the app from UI
This is the app I used to find the Block mode on my Galaxy Note 2 on Verizon two weeks ago
Force closes after I type in watch under the search in applications

Unless I am mistaken, HTC watch got discontinued on the 15th

Anything that I can do that Verizon doesn't want me to do makes me happy.

Is there an apk or installer of some kind to get the international keyboard? I'd love to use the stock keyboard but need that auto correct...
I've seen a few links for it around here, but I've had issues with it not being able to keep up with my typing. Or maybe the reverse of that... As I'm typing, it tries to autocorrect to a word when I'm not yet finished typing...
I don't have the file anymore though or I would upload
what is this stock keyboard as I've heard much about it and want to know whether it has been developed for the Samsung mobiles only or for others ones as well..
Anyone found a fix for the auto correct lag??? Love the keyboard but I type way too fast for it to keep up.. WTF

It comes with Swype with no Dragon stock, right? Just use that instead of Swype from the play store.

What do you mean "it"? The phone itself? It does, but the actual swype from the play store is better for me with all the features.
Not sure if this is a dead thread, but I tried installing the apk on my s4 running SlimRom (AOSP). No dice, the install failed. The dragon voice keyboard attached to swype is the only thing keeping it from being my primary

Not having Google Voice with Swype finally bothered me enough that I have been working on such a thing! I have a proof-of-concept working fairly well on my phone (Nexus 4), and now I'd like to find someone with a rooted S4 willing to try it out there. It requires root to be able to inject keystrokes into an app. If you have a rooted S4, please shoot me a message at [email protected], and I'll discuss it with you some more.
How to “Beat the Stock”

Hey! Welcome to my guide, and thanks for clicking on it. If this helps you in any way or form, please click the “Thanks” button.
I need your help! I need your recommendations so I can add them in after testing, this guide is incomplete and should have more options. Also, I need more sections. If there's another set of apps that you want me to review for our phone, just let me know. I'll gladly update this guide accordingly!

Phone
Well, in the end, regardless of what some of us may think our L9’s are, they are phones. I know, surprising right? Our phone has a good looking stock dialer, but MAN IT’S SLOW. So I’ve created a list of replacements that operate perfectly on our device.
exDialer: This is my personal choice, and definitely the one I recommend the most. The UI is elegant, and it’s incorporated into an extremely efficient combination of Dialer/Contacts setup. The sheer ability to switch from Dialer to Contacts smoothly without lag is an enigma in itself. If that wasn’t enough, there’s a decent amount of themes available on the Play Store to further mix it to your liking. The ICS theme is my personal favorite.
Dialer One: This is a pretty good app for those who want a fast dialer for their phone, and don’t mind not having a Contacts app to match it. This doesn’t work for me, since I need Contacts integrated into my Dialer like exDialer does. But this app does the job for those that need a dialer app by itself.
Contacts
Contacts+: Same as the app above, it’s just a shortcut to take you straight to the Contacts portion of the app. Recommended to those who want a closely integrated feel of Messaging, Dialing, and Contact…ing.
Messaging
Textra: Download this app NOW. This is seriously, as of now, the best texting app for Android. Ever heard of ChompSMS? It supports native Emoji, Group SMS with iPhonies, doable customization, and an absolutely SICK notification feature. Seriously, download this app, next text you get, click the notification and watch the magic.
Browser
Opera Browser: Okay, so this has been updated consistently for about the last year or so, and I’m LOVING it. It has a ton of options, including cloud compression on a low connection so it speeds up YOUR browsing speeds. It has the usual problems, notably lag when loading multiple images and sometimes not registering your touches when you click links. It’s Chromium based, which means it is similar to Chrome. Obviously.
Chrome: Brought to my attention by @peoplegetpeople, it's a good browser and it is useful if using Chrome on your computer and wish to sync bookmarks/history!
Must-Have Apps
Ttorrent: This app is for torrenting and "sharing" (uh-huh...) files.

Lol, you're totally right about the browsers. I got mad when chrome want on the list! (I like my integration) but seriously, your guides are the ****! Keep it up man. Textra and exdialer are now daily drivers. Also, your locked mods thread made me love this phone. Good work, sir. Good work indeed!

Ehh, what I would recommend is everything I use lol.
Updated with some relevant "Must-Have Apps."
The aviate launcher looks pretty nice. Unfortunately I need an invite code.
Another keyboard to check out is Google's stock keyboard. You can get it from the play store. Uses a lot less memory than kii and quite a bit smoother.

I just checked. You can add pretty much any language for input and download dictionaries too. You switch languages by holding down the space bar.
There's no options for themes. Stock jelly bean.

And alright, I'll add it in if I can get another keyboard or two to add as an official keyboard section. Thanks!

Also, another app that I find useful is Censor**** on the play store. I use profanity with my friends and this loads most of the common words into the dictionary so auto correct doesn't try to correct it. It's a pay app and English only.

I'm quite attached to perfect keyboard, suits me well and very customizable. Dolphin browser is my favorite except the added that stupid touch button in the corner but it can be removed. How about music players? I've used playerpro with the dsp pack for the preamp for along time now.

Ooh, want me to make that a section? Music?
Music sure. How about inverted apps? So far I only have YouTube and maps inverted.

Thought I'd throw these in here.
I use Now Playing for music - it's got a cards-esque UI, plays really well, beautiful widgets. And it works with ViPERFX, which is good.
Also, I've found I really like Sliding Messaging. It was buggy, sometimes it doesn't work well with MMS, but it's themeable and the new Slideover feature is great.
