On my Nexus which is running Google's Yakju 4.3 I have the Google keyboard as my one an only default input method. The benefit to this is I receive the updates to the keyboard even yesterdays update (blue and white color change). On a custom ROM such as CM, the default keyboard is the AOSP keyboard. Is there a way to flash the Google keyboard over the AOSP keyboard making only the Google Keyboard the only available one? I realize you can download the Google Keyboard separately from the Play Store however when this was done while running CM10.2 you cannot disable the default AOSP. Sure you can enable the Google Keyboard as well but the haptic feedback became extreme and the text input would lag. So is it possible to replace the AOSP with the Google Keyboard as it would appear on a device running a stock 4.3?
You can uninstall the AOSP keyboard using titanium backup or a similar root app, but I honestly don't see the point. Just install Google keyboard and set it as default.

I have tried pretty much every keyboard on the market and I love Swype and SwiftKey but unfortunately both of those apps use their own version of the voice transcription feature. Is there a keyboard out there other than stock ICS that uses the voice typing just as Google intended? Or maybe a hacked version of Swype that bypasses their Dragon dictation for the stock one?
Thanks for your suggestions everyone.

Smart Keyboard is pretty good and for swype just download ripped latest version from galaxy note (blue color, no ugly orange, no swype connect and standard voice typing)
Thanks for the suggestions! Well I downloaded a note swype keyboard but it's huge and I can only see half the letters. Do you know where one is that's been resized?

The size can be reduced. Just own it with winrar and delete unused languages from assets, files. About the size I don't know it should work good since in the apk include all resolutions even the note one. Or maybe slideit, its the same as Swype but lot of prole finds it better and it support ics and its very skinable (normal Google dictation ofc) or try smart keyboard if you want classic tapping keyboard.
Swyped from my ZTE Blade
Any other keyboards as of late that anyone has found?

Hello all,
I just wanted to share with you, that my Original Samsung Keyboard Dock is not working with Cyanogenmod 9 from the Development Section here.
Does anybody have a solution for this?
Will it ever work with Cyanogenmod?
So far I am very very impressed with Speed and Stability of the latest CM9 Version by locerra.
Hopefully someone can chime in on the Keyboard Dock Situation...
Thanks again all for making such an incredible Community.
Cheers

Doesn't work for me too
Did you ever find a solution for this OP?

Same thing for me on SGT-P7510 on sammobile.com
Swiftkey app is a little compatible with external keyboards.
Something like this : go into the settings of the keyboard swiftkey app, validate the Terms od use choose English (US), define Swiftkey as the default input, and therefore in its parameters, go to Advanced > then choose External Keyboard Layout > English and it's good !
Or save the Samsung Keyboard .apk on ICS Stock ROM and bring the application on CM10. Maybe it could work
This is a known limitation of cyanogenmod.
have you read of any hacks / alternate soft keyboards that can get it to work?
The stock ICS rom is so limiting (and to me seems slow) compared to the JB rom (CM10)
i recall having to enable the dock option in the cm settings for my xoom, perhaps the same is true for the gtab?
in Paranoid rom working of keyboard doc should be fixed. I dont have one to test, unfortunately
here is link to changelog http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1838391
Works with the latest CM10 build too (the modified one recently uploaded):
Should work in the latest "official" rom too.

Hey guys,
I'm not a fan of the new jb stock keyboard from google as it's too slow to register responses when i type on it (keyboard style, not with my thumbs or pecking).
I tried just now to install the ICS stock keyboard (LatinImeGoogle.apk) but it kept FC'ing on me. Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated
Here's what I did:
Had trouble downloading stock bleb from Asus onto my prime for .28
Downloaded Androwook 2.6 (i think, the ics version) and extracted LatinImeGoogle.apk from the ICS version of androwook.
Backed up LatinImeGoogle.apk (jb version) in /system/app
Moved LatinImeGoogle.apk (ICS, from androwook) to /system/app, chmod to 644 (rw r r)
Reboot
Select stock google keyboard as default keyboard in settings
Open anything that requires text entry and the bottom of the screen goes white (where the keyboard should be) and I get a sometimes transiently appearing other times normal FC box.
No FC when I restored the JB keyboard.
Thanks!

I'm fond of this free ICS keyboard installable from the play store. It has the best autocorrect I have used, a microphone visible on the keyboard for voice input, and numbers and smileys available with long press of keys.

Can't help you there. I'm a two finger hunt and peck, typer.
My favorite thing about it is if you find it auto corrected something you didn't want corrected, hitting backspace changes it back to your original word unlike the stupid stock Asus keyboard.
After tried several paid keyboard apps, I found only google keyboard that is right for me, as it has shift_enter and the ability to sync with my personal dictionary (to use as autotext feature, even stock sony keyboard didn't have this ability). Yes the UI of the original one is just 'plain' until I found this MOD, lot of theme available and it works perfecly on ZU : )
Im looking for google pinyin with one hand mode...
Just loves the swipe up n down function in google pinyin..
I'm having an issue where the new Unicode 9.0 emoji are missing from my Gboard. I have updated the keyboard to the latest version as of the time of this post (6.0.79) and I can see the new emoji in apps and browsers it's just that the keyboard does NOT display them. I have also noticed that I'm missing the frowning face emoji (this one ☹)
I'm using a Galaxy S6 edge running on Android 6.0.1.
Is anyone else having the same issue? Or should I simply just wait for Google to update the keyboard?
I came across your post by searching for a solution on Google. I have the exact same issue with Gboard 6.1 + Nougat 7.0 on my Galaxy S7 edge. Swiftkey displays the new emojis correctly though (stock Google ones, iOS 10 ones, etc.) but Gboard doesn't.
