I like using swype keyboard for texting. But for browsingi like using HTC_ime. Is it possible to have different apps have different input or keyboard settings. So I don't have to switch everytime?

I picked up this keyboard when it was free on the Amazon App Store a while back. It's awesome! You have several different input options:
tap-type
trace (like Swype)
voice (great recognition!)
write (like a stylus)
I use the voice method most, but all of them work really well. And unlike a lot of other aftermarket keyboards, this one has numbers and special characters on long-press (they're shown above the letters).
The only thing I'm missing coming from the stock HTC Sense keyboard is the directional buttons for moving the cursor around text fields - without a trackball, it's kind of a pain to move around by touching. At least this keyboard has a 'pointer' you can drag around, which makes it a little easier.
Any other great keyboards out there?
I'd like a keyboard I could fully customize. I'd love to be able to remove the buttons that I never use and just get in the way (voice button, language button, etc).
I'd also like to force the predictive text to pick the words I want by default. Typing "aren't" always tries to replace it with "seen" grrrr.

Try Gingerbread keyboard. It auto corrects. Plus u can add ur own custom words like cud, wud, etc.

SwiftKey X is a good one to use too. There's a free beta in the market, and by far the best keyboard I've used

The arrow keys on Gingerbread are hidden but can be brought in by just dragging the spacebar up and hidden by dragging it down, which I like since I hardly use them but still need them every once in a while
Is there a way to make the keyboard default to FlexT9 or Swiftkey or whatever you have installed? It's kind of annoying to have to set it up every time I restart the phone.
Hello.everybody
I am using whitehawxs MIUI 1.9.30
I have installed an application from android market and it has alternative keyboard.
Whenever the app gets started, its keyboard becomes the default keyboard.
The developer says apps can't change the default settings and only if you configured my app's keyboard as default keyboard, then only it can happen.
And he says it is not happening in his S2.
So how can I set default keyboard in miui?
Even if set, is it taking effect ?

so when i use mt bluetooth keyboard i get a popup saying i need to change to samsung keyboard to use it. if i click ok or press back it will change the keyboard. this is annoying because my samsung keyboard is regional i.e. uk and my bluetooth keyboard is us the same as thumb keyboard (the onscreen i use) so when it changes keyboards some of the symbols are different.
so my question is, can i stop this from happeing?

Wanting to know the same thing - or even if any of the custom ROMs has this "fixed."
The app External keyboard helper pro allows you to set the language, so you can set it the same as your other keyboards and it has some other helpful settings too. Maybe this is what you're looking for?

Not sure, might try it out. I never had these keyboard issues in ICS and was hoping I was just missing a setting. Have you tried out this app for this purpose? Does it work well?
Hiii
I use Speed-Rom in my Htc-Amaze 4g. There is no 3/4 key pad option in speed rom, so i had to install Go-Keyboard . Now i do not now How to off T9 dictionary in Messaging using Go keyboard
I hate T9.. But have no idea how to get rid of this.
Please resolve this issue
There will be a spanner icon on the keyboard, beside space bar (i think so, coz i've never used go keyboard.)
If it is present tap on it and look for text input and settings (this option can be seen in system default settings too). In That change the keyboard input settings.

Current betas are included. Pick which third-party keyboard you've chosen as your go-to keyboard.
SwiftKey is the Best
I have tried both Swype and SwiftKey and in my point of view "SwiftKey" is the best.
I use thumb keyboard..its stable and more responsive.. imo..

I use the GO Keyboard. I like the designs and interface as well as the multi language functionality when I need to communicate in Latin to my brethren. It's got swype functionality and it's free too. I've used several keyboards before so I've had a decent spectrum to play with.
SwiftKey is awesome! Their new Flow feature (basically their version of Swype) is great too.
I've Enjoyed Mine!
I used to use as many keyboards I could to test which I like. For a long time I didn't keep a keyboard for a week. I eventually found the keyboard of my dreams (replaced by the stock ICS now)... Jelly Bean Keyboard by VLLWP. I highly recommend it.:good:
Since 4.2 never used any software as it included swype feature.
Before that swype 3
And also used siine keyboard just for fun.

I use swiftkey. The trail it leaves when swiping looks loads better than Swype and stock JB
Swiftkey on my phone, Hackers Keyboard on my tab. (swipe on 10.1 inch, really?)

I use Touchpal on my phone and tab. I like the fast switching between languages (I switch a lot between English and Dutch) and between swyping and typing. And the fast way to type numbers and symbols (swyping up on the right key) is a big advantage.
TouchPal is the best.

Smartkeyboard.
I gave so many others the chance, but every other missed features I need.
I need customizable longpress duration, customizable smileys (I even use a smiley key as my mail, meaning it's so much easier to login everywhere) and really important: the whole keyboard must be resizable (because my lcd density on the nexus4 is on 240, wich would mean every keyboard is extremely small).
I also like the arrowkeys in portrait mode and the domainkey (wich I only use for even more shortcut smileys susch as \o/ or ^^ / ^.^)
Oh, and I don't need any prediction, here in switzerland we write in swiss-german, wich doesn't really exist. There is no word prediction or something like that for us.
I get an average kpm of 240-250 with smartkeyboard pro. Once I even got to almost 300
Mine is Swype. The only feature it's missing that I desperately want is a setting for long press duration.

I'm using Swype atm.
SwiftKey is the best in my opinion because its much better than the stock keyboard.
I wish SwiftKey had the action of the swype key.
Where it highlighted the last word..

SwiftKey is the fastest on my phone.
I am using anysoftkeyboard.
It's not bad.
I actually liked SwiftKey Flow, even though everyone hates it.
