SwiftKey keyboard
SwiftKey is like an English professor is alive and working inside your phone. It’s still in beta, but it’s already an amazing little application. What makes SwiftKey different is its ability to predict the next word in your sentence. Predicting the current word is so 2009! Of course everyone loves things that make our lives easier - things like correctly guessing what word comes next. My only issue (and it's a small one) is that you can't enter words that aren't in the dictionary by pressing the spacebar and moving on. You have to actually tap the word to get SwiftKey to enter it.
To sign up and check out the SwiftKey beta head over to SwiftKey.net. It's really polished for a beta, and to be honest I'm planning on using it as is until they release a new version. At the moment SwiftKey is English only, but the developers say that they plan to include support for all the Latin based languages in the near future. No word on availability and pricing of the final version, but by the look and feel of the application, it shouldn't be too far off. Keep an eye on their site for details, and be sure to let me know if you see it slip into the Market before I do!
Pros:
Amazing full word prediction
Easy to add to custom dictionary
Also predicts punctuation
Special characters are easily entered by long pressing
Cons:
Learning curve
Can be laggy when first starting up
Will always pick the word it thinks is correct, so be careful with the spacebar
***MOD EDIT*** File removed, it is part of a private beta not for public use.
hmm, looks pretty clean. I'll try it out. Thanks for the heads up
I just got the beta invitation email
I got all excited because I thought it was going to be swype-esque
has anyone tried it yet?

I was just about to say he wasn't allowed to give it out publicly...
Anyway, I am using it. Been using it for the past hour to text with a couple of friends and I freaking love this thing. I hope the timer on it isn't too short, because I'm going to get so used to how easy this thing is to use. Not only does it predict words accurately, but it does it with almost NO lag. (Keep in mind I've been on an overclocked ROM for the past week).
I recommend it to anyone who signed up for the beta. If you haven't, you can sign up here and hope to get into future betas.
I got invited and have been using it for a while now and I don't really know if I like it or not. I think I text faster with it, but stopping half way through a word because it knows what I am trying to say just throws me off, it breaks my rhythm is you know what I mean.
But this app is pretty good at predicting what you will say next lol

I removed the link to this APK, it is part of a private beta test and should not be publicly distributed. Do not post files that will get XDA in trouble! Russ

ENJOY...(source android central.com)
very nice app it works really good thanks.
Interesting app, thanx.
Official Beta has just been released to the market.
Just started using today,it seems cool just needs more options. Also this happens if I hold down the spacebar:
I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person.
LOL.

I am using it right now, and I must to say that it is incredible. It makes very
good predictions cause it scan your SMS and it knows what words you use usually,
and what combinations of words... It works very well.
Now I have a problem, I dont know which keyboard is better, SwiftKey or Swype.
I have both and I am undecided...
Thanks for your contribution.
This is brilliant, if only it could be themed but maybe in the final release. The contextual prediction is great and really does suggest sensible next words based on the sentence you are typing! Sometimes it even suggests things better than the word I was thinking of!
I like that it has an English-UK option too so no americanisms and it knows things like British place names etc. Very very impressed
So, I'm a graphic designer by trade and while working on expanding my portfolio, I started thinking about an app concept. Slowly I worked out the concept for a honeycomb app, this included UI, functions, visual identity, uses, targeted user base. The main idea was to create an app that was both visually appealing and useful since most android apps around frankly look like ****.
Now what I'm looking for is a dev to translate this concept into an actual app since I'm a lowly designer and my programming experience doesn't go beyond jQuery. Now for all I care the dev interested can sell it or distribute it for free, all I want is credit for the design and initial concept.
Now because of this I'm not going to just post the idea for the app here since I put a lot of time and effort into it, but any dev willing to help can PM me and I'll give detailed information. I must tell you that it is a relatively simple app.
Also to prove I am not just talking out of my ass,
here's the logo design:

and here is a screenshot of a part of the app:
I must note again that I'm not looking for profit or money, just credit.
EDIT: please fix the title.

Hello, hope you been getting some responses. Can you at least let us in on what kind of program it might be? Just curious.

I have gotten 2 responses, and it's a productivity app aimed at people who enjoy drawing.
And no it is not a drawing app.
bump again

sadface bump ):
that logo looks like a electrostatic tablet pen for drawing. I'm guessing you're trying to make a tablet driver for Honeycomb?
Or, probably you're tying to make a simulated pressure sensitive drawing application with one thumb on that slider on the side controlling brush size.

From the Logo, I thought it was smoking related... like smoking a big ole reefer or something.
In all seriousness, if I may critique the logo. The colors are working great as red black and white always seem to harmonize nicely.
What I think could work better is if you got rid of some of that negative... actually empty space around the stylus. In other words, crop in closer to the actual tool. It will put much more emphasis on your focal point, the pen.
Also fix the sinuous lines coming off the tip. Right now, it looks as if you're tyring to illustrate smoke.
I think those are the only issues that I personally see. Good luck and keep us posted~
Good today only! (5/20/11) The world ends tomorrow anyways

Interesting, will take some getting use too.
I've been waiting for this and it's finally here... beta version
Thanks for the info.
Had access to this for a while now but I find the layout of thumb keyboard to be far better and easier to type with, didn't use swiftkey much.
Thanks man
Bah... now they're giving us a choice! I'd already made my mind up that I was going to buy thumbkeyboard. Now you're making me re-think.
Although SwiftKey is pretty cool looking, and better then the regular keyboard. I definitely think that ThumbKeyboard is definetly better.
Also has anyone noticed how even with the keyboard dock the SwiftKey prediction three word thing still pops up. I'm not sure if I like to or not yet. But kinda cool. I wonder if they did that on. purpose or not.

Edit: Also for some reason the prediction with the keyboard work really good in the XDA app. Actually fixes any mistakes I make typing. But in every other app i've tried messes up, either by double entering words, or by just adding random letters. Especially if I start typing real fast. Guess that is a problem.
I agree with the above...I make way more mistakes on the swiftkey app and I hate the tron look. I want a matte keyboard layout so back to thumb keyboard I go!
I know it's a beta...it will get better, but for now I'll stick to what works and what I can customize further.
i have the same auto-correct issue of it adding random characters, actually the letter "I" specifically.
Hello All!
Xatik Group is pleased to announce that we have reached a point in development that we can call Beta!
Our app, Droid Draw, is a remake of the classic 'Turtle Graphics'. Droid Draw uses a few of the commands from the LOGO programming language to direct an android guy around your screen!
You'll be amazed at how much time this can waste if you love creating weird and different shapes.
Our goal is to release the Droid Draw Beta on August 3rd, 2012. This date is not set in stone, but it is a goal for us. Also, the beta will last approximately 2 weeks. After that we will focus on fixing all bugs and finally release version 1 of Droid Draw!
If you would like to help us test our App, please fill out the form here: http://www.xatik.com/2012/07/23/droid-draw-beta/
And we will send out the App via email.
(We apologize if our website seems unresponsive. We are having issues with our web host)
All comments are greatly appreciated! Please help us improve this app for everyone.
Here are some preview pictures of our App.

Our website seems to be up and running again!
If you attempted to apply for beta but were unable because of slow website speeds, please try again!
http://www.xatik.com/2012/07/23/droid-draw-beta/
We're hoping to get as many Beta testers as possible.
Also, if you want to follow along with our progress, you can visit our repository on Bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/XatikGroup/droiddraw
Note: This means our App is going to be completely FREE and Open Source!
Feel free to submit issues when the Beta starts!

Glad to see people remember this app!
Hopefully this will bring back good memories
And if it doesn't you'll at least be able to guide us in the direction to make it better!
Hey everyone!
We're still looking for more Beta testers!
If you don't want to fill out the form on our website that's fine, just post in here so we can gauge interest.
All we really need is which phone you use and what version of Android you're using!
That way we can tell which phones work and which ones don't.
Thanks for all of the support!
When the app is ready I will be sure to add a link here as well as send out emails to those that signed up.
Wow we just made some serious progress!
A quick peek at one new feature we added, RND.
The random command is now working and is how this image was generated. It uses random loop lengths and random colors.
We're still looking for people to Beta test so feel free to sign up here (don't worry, everyone that signs up can participate!) -> http://www.xatik.com/2012/07/23/droid-draw-beta/
Wow another day and another feature added to Droid Draw!
I finally got animations working
This just means I'm one step closer to getting Beta ready for everyone!
Time to polish everything else.
Oh and just an fyi, we're still accepting beta participants so don't be afraid to sign up! -> goo.gl/cbuUL

Hello, I don't really know if it's all right to post this kind of thread here but I haven't been able to find any other forum that seems like the proper place for my thread. I'd like to say sorry in advance if I have indeed posted in the wrong section.
Anyhow, me and a friend are working on a set of apps and a slightly modified android rom as our IT project this year. We are hoping to win a prize in the local competition which will be held here in Bosnia on 23rd of next month and then hopefully make our way to some international competitions.
I'd like to quickly go over our project.
HIVE OS is an "operating system" based on android for usage in school tablets. It contains some pre-installed applications such as: Notebooks, Books, Drawings... It synchronizes users' documents with the cloud allowing users to access their files from their personal phones, tablets, computers, etc...
As the competition draws closer we have started with writing academic papers such as the research paper. Some stats are required in a research paper. Some testing and data analysis. Thus, as a member of this forum I thought that I could get some interested people's opinions, let them test the apps and collect their feedback...
If you are interested in testing Notebooks, Books and Drawings apps and helping us with our data collection you can download attached apps and once you are done with your testing you can submit your feedback by filling the form over at feedback website.
Some points to keep in mind:
1 .We are 2 high school 3rd year guys. Our experience with android programming is pretty fresh. My friend only launched ADT for the first time as he began this project, whereas, I, even though I had launched it before hadn't been able to produce anything useful.
2. As these apps are intended for tablets, we didn't really put any special effort in trying to make them fit every screen (smaller screens). They should be fine on devices with screen similar to the one of the nexus 4 and higher...
3. Books app requires at least a single book to be present under /HIVE/Books in your sdcard. Otherwise, it will look empty. This is because these apps are supposed to receive their material by means of synchronization. I'll be attaching a zip file (Introduction to Trigonometry.zip) to extract there but if you end up having problems and can't make the app show a book, please skip books app in the feedback form. Thank you for your understanding.
Another note is that we hope you'll go easy on us. As I already mentioned, we are pretty new into android development. The data collected from the forms are going to be used in the academic side of things. Those who know will probably understand... It won't hurt if you give a 4 where you actually think it deserves a 3. We don't want to have graphs which will make it look like our apps suck.
Of course, this doesn't mean that you should go with all 5s. Fill the forms the way you think, but we'd be happy if you didn't give a lot of 1s and 2s...
Thank you for your understanding on this as well.
