I'm not sure if I've lost my mind or it's missing from the stock Sony keyboard but for the life of me I can't find the ampersand on the keyboard.
I found it but it's 3 keypresses deep to get to it. Thought I was going to like this keyboard but maybe not.
BTW my writing language is US English.
One of the most useful apps is SwiftKey. You too shall love it!
Put Hacker's keyboard, pretty cool like typingon acpc keyboard

Hello everybody!
Yesterday I bought a Archos 70 IT 250 GB and I'm very pleased with it. All works like a charm, only, i'm using the standard Android keyboard, which is quite ok, but I would like to know if there are better alternatives??
Could anyone tell me their opinion about which keyboard could be better?
Thanks all!
Cheers,
Jeroen
I use the Swype Keyboard on my A70, and it's very fast. Thumb Keyboard isn't bad at last.
But I use also the standard keyboard.
I like the Thumbs keyboard
SmartKeyboard in my opinion is best choice: mutitouch keyboard with lot of options, gestures handling and t9 support.
Swiftkey here
I would love to get Flex T9 but the Market doesn't show it to me. In the meantime, Swiftkey is good and gets better as it collects your frequently used words that aren't in the standard dictionary.

Ditto, it is also running great on my phone
How did you guys get swype working? It wouldn't run on my 70, I'm currently using the big thumb keyboard but would rather use swype, thanks guys!
Update, I installed SlideIT keyboard from the market which is just like swype and that works great.
In landscape mode a tad bit of the end buttons are covered by the Archos home keys but they still work fine. It is VERY fast.
Honestly I'd give this one a try -> https://market.android.com/details?id=com.moo.android.inputmethod.latin.free
Make sure you set your language in the options, otherwise nothing will appear.
It's a very awesome keyboard and I can type much faster than the 2.2 keyboard.
Swype looks good but it doesn't work for me, tried latest beta.
Having just ditched the Nexus S for this I'm left pretty disappointed with the keyboard input, especially when using prediction and typing with the qwerty.
The text entry box seems to jump all over as suggested words pop up and the completion / auto correction and general overall user friendliness of this keyboard is not a patch on the Nexus S.
Any maybe can install the Nexus S keyboard instead (stock android Gingerbread)?
I've had this in my archive of apps, try it and lemme know what you think. I'll have a look for a newer version tomorrow morning if you like this one.
clicky
You absolute star!!!!
That's fantastic, makes typing soooo much more pleasurable and IMO easier!
Thank you VERY much
If there is an updated version that would be interesting to try.
Thanks again bud!

Hi all
Is there a compact qwerty version of this?
Love the phone but I'm pretty desperate to get a compact qwerty keyboard like the one on my Froyo HTC Desire. It's maybe a big finger thing but I really struggle with full qwerty.
Cheers
Can somebody tell me if it is possible somehow to turn voice input from stock keyboard? I looked in settings but couldn't find it. Also, do you use other keyboards? I got used to use HTC IME by jonasl, but now on 1280x720 it is obviously to small for the screen. I am testing Smart Keyboard now which is pretty fimiliar to HTC IME and has the option of voice input. I don't like Swipe as I never swipe, got used to "click" symbols. I would continue using stock keyboard if not the lack of voice input.
Sent from my Tapatalk using freaking awesome LT26i Sony Xperia S.
I use smart keyboard Pro. Been using it since the X10 days, love it.
Im using "Ice cream sandwich keyboard free"
works well, and gives you the voice input button there too
I'm typing quite a bit quicker on this keyboard as well, seems to be working for me.
give it a go
I've always used thumb keyboard on any android device I use. Has good customization options and keyboard themes.
I use ICS keyboard full ..
It have a good arabic letters layout, and I use gestures to change language, close keyboard , and delete last word ..
I works great in this big screen and just take a little space of the screen ..
even I already purchased Swiftkey X, but I feel more comfortable with ICS keyboard ..

Anyone know a 3x4 portrait keyboard the same or similar as stock S3 4.1.1 with ability to add own words to install because Samsung f***ed up again with 4.1.2 and I just don't like portrait qwerty keyboards.
Are you asking for a T9 Keyboard?
Look up "T9 keyboard android" and try out some that look good?
As for the custom words, you can add them manually into the personal dictionary or use an app which keeps it's own custom dictionary.
Might I suggest to try out SwiftKey. I am pretty sure it does not support a T9 layout, but the QWERTY keyboard by them is amazing, and the word prediction after using it for a few weeks is just incomparable to other keyboards.
Yeah it's just the T9 3x4 numeric portrait pad I'm looking for, and I've tried loads from the market but just can't find any that work the same as a normal numeric pad, and I've tried qwerty portrait pads but just find them awkward and slow. And this is such a major problem for me I'm gonna have to downgrade to 4.1.1 if I can't find an answer.
Well in that case you just need the 4.1.1 Keyboard APK. I do not have enough knowledge to help you with this. But there is a thread here about it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952804
You can look around on google for "android 4.1.1 keyboard apk" and hopefully find something that will help you.
I really hope you can get it working with your current ROM so that you do not need to downgrade.
Wish it was that simple mate... But it doesn't work like normal keyboard IMEs because it's a system integrated App, and they changed the keypad on 4.1.2 so much that nothing from 4.1.1 will work without major mods.

Hello everyone out on XDA! This may look like a very common question about removing certain useless characters of the Google Keyboard, but it is not
I've been trying to do this for a while, but after being acknowledged of the game Seen (awesome game by the way) I wanted to get a keyboard like the one in the game, with no letters displayed on the keys :3
This may sound weird but I really would appreciate having this keyboard, so every answer will be welcomed
P.S.: I can code, if you tell me where the code block for this special aspect is it'll be enough, but modded APKs and else are okay too
P.P.S.: Do I really have to mention I don't want to use Swiftkey and its Ninja keyboard?
Thanks in advance!
