This needs a post of its own.
Requirements:
Make a backup!
Method:
1 - Install google keyboard from Play market
2 - Download, and install 4.4 keyboard (select update if necessary)
3 - Enjyoy!
So here is the link to the keyboard
LINK
Sideload (install), if that doesnt work then push to: /system/app/
If you want native Emoji support download and install this
LINK
Report and issues so I can write them up:
Issues: Gesture typing works if you follow the method.

I'll have a play with this when I have more time, I'm stocktaking today
Off topic for SMS I use Chomp SMS which has an emoji plugin and that seems two work very well. It just puts an extra emoji button in so you don't have to keep switching keyboards to enter an emoji :good:
Tried this yesterday aaand i'm back to stock. Gesture typing doesn't work (as mentioned), and i guess i'm just used to Sony's keyboard now
Everything is working perfect.
You need to install google keyboard from Play market. After install kitkat keyboard on top. And everything will be perfect.

Hey guys I found a new thread of a new keyboard to our wildfire! ;D It's from Gingerbread(android 2.3), it is really nice and i decided to share to all that dont know it.
Tutorial:
Requirements
-Device must have root priveleges with Superuser
-Android 2.2 Froyo operating system
-The latest “Voice Search” application from the Android Market
-Make a backup of LatinIME.apk in system/app folder just in case!
Clock work mod and rom manager is needed but we are using wildfire and all of us use it so i wont put in requirements.
Bugs:
Vibrate on keypress doesn’t work(nice, don't eat my battery )
How to install:
Download the keyboard from here:
http://briefmobile.com/Fabolous_GBKB_Fix.zip (do not extract the files just copy the zip file how you download it)
Now connect your cellphone to computer and send the .zip file to your sdcard
Disconnect from computer, turn off phone or reboot into recovery(clock work mod) then install zip from sd card>choose zip and fla****/installIt!
Reboot phone and done! Go to messages and create a new message and you will see a new keyboard from Gingerbread(android 2.3)!

I beg to differ, Vibrate on Keypress works 100% fine. I'm using OpenFire 2.3 ROM.
Anyways, this keyboard has some nice new settings. Me likey. Thanks a lot.
PS: Why is ROM Manager needed? I don't have it and it works fine.

No, no need to wipe, download a new nightly and install it like you did with the keyboard, (install zip from sd card>choose zip), nightly are updates no need to wipe just download it and install it withoutwipe unless you want to "format" your cellphone.
I am running a miui rom at the moment on the mini pro and would like a keyboard apk that both detects the physical keyboard better such as the blue butting (shift button ?? ) and the smiley button to work and also a more responsive on screen keyboard that what I currently have
There seems to be not much better than the original SE keyboard (Sqhashiinput.apk) at doing the job, and it will run on just about anything.

Try this, it's the original SE soft-keyboard, made to work on ICS ROM by Paul-xxx, all credits to him
Try to install as normal APK, and if that doesn't work, move to /system/app and change permissions to 644
Long-press an input-field and change input-method.
Hope it works for you

very weird I had installed that su update previously but now that I have reinstalled it it seems to work, though still doesn't allow me to move the apk file into system/app or install it, however got it overclocked so I'm happy,
thank you for all of your help btw with the increased performance the default on screen keyboard is much more responsive whenever I tap an input box so :good: :victory:

How did you install it ? .apk doesn't install for me and can't flash the .zip because going to recovery reboots the phone, right ?

Hi Ronjan,
"ckpv5" has provided a well thought out guide to use his rom. Just go to this link.
Look at the 3rd point on the "Notes" section. You can install recovery for your flashing and once done, you can install the boot.img again and boot to your rom.
By the way apk installed fine on my mobile.
4.2 Keyboard works fine for me, way better than stock HTC keyboard.

It's not any error but I'm getting this while installing prebuiltgmscore file. It says like, "This is a system app, are you sure to install and replace it with previous one." and so on. So, I aborted. I was not sure to proceed. It says it will replace all the data, etc. What actually will it do if I press ok and continue with it? My phone is not rooted yet, and not planning for few months. I'm already using the Kitkat Launcher Theme which give the kitkat Icons and I'm using it with Nova Prime.
I also installed Kitkat Launcher from Nick app from playstore but the App Drawer was very clumsy and did not feel clean, so uninstalled it.
Back to the point, what happens if I install prebuiltgmscore replacing previous and will it require Root?
Thanks XDA Brothers.:good:
It is the .apk file for the updated playstore...since you already have playstore installed, it asks if you want to replace it...there is no prob if you click ok...you just have an updated playstore on your device...
Installed Googlehome apk directly ! ! !

It works. I skipped both PrebuiltGmsCore.apk and Velvet.apk and installed google home directly. Everything seems to work good except the widgets and the voice command is not working from the homescreen. I have to tap the top right search button. Any idea about it?
Check the attachment for widget error.
The Voice Command 'Ok Google' is supposed to work only on the Nexus 5...and the widgets caused problems initially, but now they work properly...once you drag a widget to the home screen, and click on it they show some msg...ht ok..and it will work...

prebuiltgmscore.apk is actually the new google play service app. If you had updated to the newest version of google play, you can try and error to NOT install the prebuiltgmscore.apk. Report back here if you successful install. If not sucess, just install the new version of google play(prebuiltgmscore.apk).
and Nope, doesn't require ROOT access.

You can skip both the apk because of google just rolled up their new update for those app, Google Now n Google Play Service for everyone.
To have the voice command works, just change the languages to English (US), head to MENU >Settings > Voice > Language > English (US).
Try to say, "OK google". If doesn't work, head to MENU >Settings > Voice > Language > Offline speech recognition > and choose English (US) update.
As simple as that Sorry for the late reply though.

I use official ROM, I downloaded the zip file from that link that you sent and flashed it from recovery. When i install text input, it writes that the program I use official ROM, I downloaded the zip file from that link that you sent and flashed it from recovery. When i install text input, it writes that the application Didn't install.
......
After re-testing...
When i install the files text-input apk alone everything is fine.
When tap the setting on the keyboard, the keyboard will stop.
And some emojis don't show.
