Hi. I switched to the Froyo unofficial release about two weeks ago. One thing that i've noticed is that the keyboard for 2.2 blows. Is there anyway to get the 2.1 keyboard back? Or does anyone know of a better alternative one (preferably free)?

VLINGO is a really good replacement

This. The HTC one is the best. I love how you can adjust the delay for the popups...makes typing numbers super fast with a 100ms delay.

Is it just my phone, or does anyone else have the problem where using the droid x multi touch keyboard fc's with the FroYo update?
EDIT...running deodexed froyo with netarchy kernel and riptide theme.
I just installed it and yeah it is force closing on me too.
Have you played around with swype yet?...it is really bad ass.

If you haven't seen yet, the htc froyo keyboard now supports multi-touch, just throwing that out there.
I'm still using swype too btw, but the stock option is really quite nice.
Very true about the multi touch on the stock group sense keyboard. I like it. I however dislike the sound of the space and the enter. If anyone could verify the change it would be great.

NO it does not work. It will not work until Froyo comes out on the DroidX and someone ports over the new version.
Look at this thread, someone has a Droidx running 2.2
I still use swype (quite frequently). However, I still prefer pecking for really long posts for whatever reason.
And yeah...I did realize that the new HTC keyboard does have multitouch and a better word correction system...so I guess this keyboard is obsolete now

What's the difference between Droid x keyboard and stock 2.2 keyboard now that its multi touch?
droid x keyboard is miles easier to type on, imo

Some just like the looks of it. Less fuss so to speak. Doesn't have all the arrow keys for editing and moving around like the HTC Sense 2.2 keyboard does.
I use the Stock Froyo Keyboard which is similiar as well as Latin_IME MT(Sense).

multitouch?
what does the multitouch get you?
and how do you get the stock froyo keyboard, without the arrow keys?
Droid x is better imo because instead of just being able to "correct" the word you are typing, you can touch in ANY word you have in the message or wherever and it will show you the options you had... TIME SAVER!!!
works fine 4 me

droid x keyboard not ported yet?
no it does not support froyo. look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717544&page=21
I like the Cymod7 ROM so far. But, I don't like this keyboard. Anyone know where to find the one that all Android Revolution and the HTC stock ROM offer?
I'd appreciate getting my hands on that.
this is the best keyboard by far i have found....huge amount of customization and the ability to back/restore the settings and dictionary is amazing. Use v27, high res, froyo version.

Here you go
I've used this on CM7 and I'm currently using it with MIUI. Just make sure you install clicker_hi.apk first.

This is the exact keyboard I've been using on cyan 7. It's the stock HTC keyboard but doesn't have the arrows I don't think.
Thanks. I'll give it a whirl. I'm trying to get the best ROM option figured out for my Inspire 4G.

Thanks a lot. This is perfect except for the lack of arrow keys. If we could get a version that has the arrow keys on CM7, I would be completely satisfied.
Download SwiftKey X beta. It's available in the market and is my favorite since switching to CM7. I also missed the stock HTC keyboard and this is the closest one to it since it has the arrows available.

Or you could search for Gingerbread Keyboard in the market... It's virtually identical to the stock keyboard.

OK now, your title got me searching. This is what i found -
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Gingerbread Keyboard XDA
The first one is the one you want. LOOKS SO GODDAMN AWESOME WITH MY BLACK DESIRE S !!!!!!!!!!!!
PS - swype SUCKS. Big time. As for swift key, it's just an iOS keyboard rip-off.
Been using 'keyboard from Android 2.3' app by Steven Lin, work fine on the desire S. I also dislike the htc keyboard and hoping one day I can turn the desire s into stock android...

Well... Don't like the keyboard out of the box neither Android keyboard . Personally using Better keyboard 8. And one more thing : got Nexus S few days back and "hate pure " Android - soon ugly. The HTC Sense is the best UI (my opinion) ...

Hello all,
Is their a better keyboard for this phone? I really dont like the ones it comes with. Also what about the spell checker? Is that part of the keyboard program?
What ones are you using?
Thanks
join the swype beta.
http://beta.swype.com
Once you go Swype, you never go back.
If you don't like Swype style, try the Gingerbread keyboard on the Market.
Smart keyboard

I've always liked the Gingerbread kb! But, Smart is also cool...
I only use swype when I only have 1 hand available, but I mainly use gingerbread keyboard pro from market cause I can make the spacebar super big on it (I normally miss it when it's small lol)

Is there a keyboard where you could turn the phone sideway and it shows you the keyboard as well as the screen? I don't like how it only shows you the keyboard.

Better Keyboard 8. I previously used it with the I/O skin & it could splitscreen.
Smart Keyboard FTW.

I tried all the rest, used Swype for a year, then switched to SwiftKey. Best keyboard hands down. You won't regret it. Free beta on the market.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
For me and for now I use the flext9, which is powered by dragon. But I already paid for it a while ago. But I suggest use what others have already said. Try the beta swype for yourself and see if you like it. I have used swype and would get pissed at it when it got buggy...yes I know its a beta , but I would go to another kb. The GB kb is great for a plain jane kb, also, swiftkey X beta works well too.
If I were you, I would try all the free versions of kbs, starting with the most popular to what you like and narrow it down from there.
Smart Keyboard Pro. I've had it since my Nexus one days, and it's still the best.
Thanks everyone, I will check them all out after work today.
I wouldnt mind also trying a new browser, any suggestions? I know a little bit of whats out there but still learing.
Thanks again everyone.
only swype ... still best //
SwiftKey is the nuts. I think it's made from actual magic

You would think hTC stock keyboard would have arrows for this mighty screen
Swype FTW I never had a keyboard where I could type that fast.

ive heard a lot of good stuff about swift but i feel like my fingers r to fat for it so i make mad mistakes and i theres no option to turn auto-capitalization off?
SwiftKey is very good at predicting text even with fat fingers
As far as the browser goes, I prefer opera.
