Just thought I would share because ihave seen multiple people looking for such an application. Keyboard manager in market costs 2 dollars and lets you choose different keyboards for the different viewing modes.....i.e. It lets you pick one keyboard for portrait and another for landscape

Hey everyone, just wanted to know what your favorite Android keyboard replacement is. What is it? Also, could you include a .apk for me to DL if it's not in the market or if it's htc_ime, since I already have it. Thanks for the help!

I like SlideIt and ShapeWriter. Swype beta is closed so use these both, pretty much the same. I think SlideIT is great, better word prediction of the 2, but lacks the ability to type numbers od punctuation by long pressing a key. Plus it its $8.
ShapeWriter is free and allows for the long press, so I use it. But the word prediction isn't as good as SlideIT (which was rarely wrong). If SlideIt would add this feature, it would be perfect. Will see how Swype is when it comes out, but these are good.
Before that I used Bettter Keyboard, but I like the swiping input style.
swype is the best!
swype
finally starting to love this. took a while to get used to it, but it really does work well. once it's out of beta, i definitely recommend downloading it.
Okay yeah, I've been using Swype beta (the one they officially released from their website) and my only issue with it is the lack of auto punctuation in many places. I'll try ShapeWriter too but I don't wanna spend any $, especially that much, on a keyboard. Has anyone else tried out the Themed HTC_IME's from XDA? I'm using one now and I love it, but I know that I input text faster with Swype. Any others?

Im currently using smart keyboard pro. It's multi touch, has several themes, and gives you a candidate bar with suggestions while using the droid's hardware keyboard.
Swipe is good too, but I mainly only use it for one handed operation

Right now I've been popping back and forth between Smart Keyboard Pro and jonasl's modified version of HTC_IME.
If you haven't tried the modded HTC_IME I would definitely start using it (it's less laggy and has a buncha new features). It has the best suggestion and correction of any of the non-swipers. Smart Keyboard Pro is still the fastest for me, though, and has the most features.
I have the same one as HTC_IME but I am trying to get the Swype keyboard on Mytouch 3g.
I have Mytouch 3g... Do u have an apk file cuz I have been looking around but I found a trial only n they are not working or are for another model of phone.
Shapewriter 3.09
Anyone have the Shapewriter 3.09 .apk. Can not find it in the market with 2.2

i agree. i'm addicted to it now.
i use the SwiftKey beta (i'ld post a link to their page but apparently im to new to do so).... its a real nice predictive text, that doesn't just try to do the current word but as it learns it will try and do the next word you going to write
I use smart keyboard pro because it has text substitution. For example, I can type xxx and have it pop in a long email address I have set up in the prefs. Saves a ton of typing.

Has anyone used my market? It looks like it could be a useful app. I'm so tired of using the stock one with no filter. There's too many Soundboard apps and ringtone packs.

Interesting find. The list of different providers to switch to is really impressive. And the custom filters allowing for keywords, very nice. Looks like there as a ADC entry called My Market at some point. But the one that popped up in the Marketplace seems to be a different one. Wonder if it's a continuation of the project by a different group, or a whole different app?
It does some major batt draining in background even after closing. Don't know why but it likes to startup & silently run for no reason. But is good app.

Anyone have any feelings on this?
I've tried swype and loved it, is there any benefit of shapewriter?
I prefer Shapewriter. Easier to select alternate words and numbers.
All these keyboards need is a back/forward arrow. Anyone listening?
I prefer Shapewriter because the popup on Swype is annoying. Swype has better sound (I don't use sound, though) and better UI, but that's not enough for me to pick Swype over Shapewriter. They're pretty much the same thing. I don't notice a huge speed difference with either one.
Also Ultrakeyboard is another one, been using this today and prefer it to swype, haven't used shapewriter in a long time to compare, but thought I would offer another option.
I prefer the ShapeWriter final (v3.09) too. I just upgraded to the newest Swype beta the other day, and it's still buggy and quirky. How long does it take to finish it? I haven't tried Ultrakeyboard. I'll look at it.
I installed the latest Swype Beta and also find it buggy, it's been a while since I last tried ShapeWriter but I always found it better then Swype. I haven't tried Ultrakeyboard yet but I'll try this out.
I actually like "Graffiti for Android" very much; which has gotten better at predictive text, almost as good as "StrokeKeyboard". I also find both "Graffiti for Android" and "StrokeKeyboard" faster and more accurate then any of the 'Swype-type' keyboards (Swype/ShapeWriter/Ultrakeyboard).
EDIT: I just installed and tried out "Ultrakeyboard" and it is definitely way better then both "Swype" and "Shapewriter"..."Ultrakeyboard" has to be the best of the 'Swype-Type' keyboards. That said I still prefer "Graffiti for Android".
honestly, its just a personal preference. i've used swype and slideit and i swear by swype. also i had a friend who loves swype and he's used slideit.
so, i would recommend you try all different options and stick with the one you actually like, because everyone will just tell you that whatever they're using is the best

An Update I have installed the following Keyboards:
1. Swype beta
2. Android Keyboard
3. Graffiti
4. SwiftKey Beta
5. Ultra Keyboard
For the Swype-Type Keyboard I find Ultra Keyboard the best.
SwiftKey is the best for predictive text on a typing-type keyboard
and Graffiti is the best for a fun old school Stroke-Type keyboard (the other good option is StrokeKeyboard)
Thanks much for the reviews!

Let's have this thread to discuss in brief and detail about all the best possible apps we can have in our Xperia X10i.
True, we have been installing and uninstalling very many apps as devs keeps developing lots and lots of apps. True, we will soon beat iPhone store.
Coming to our subject:
I have purchased Smart Keyboard Pro based on review. Recently, I was going through the Better Keyboard reviews too. Lot's of people have installed Better Keyboard (16.5K rating), while Smart Keyboard Pro is only 7K ratings. Should I go for BK or retain with SK? Please advice. Does BK has the featur of suggesting sentences as Xperia 1.6 keyboard had earlier? (where the previously used words automatically pops up while texting). I loved it, and now after 2.1 it's gone. SK doesn't have this. Does BK have it? Anyone having BK with this feature? Please comment.
Recently I have come across another app named "Button Savior".
This is an wonderful app. I have installed in my Xperia X10i and it's awesome. The only thing I need is, that app should float below or top and not on left or right. It's little nuisance to see it on right. Besides, the icons should be customizable. Any idea, how to get these fixed.
I literally want to stop using the hard keys and go for such soft keys. Please let me know your thoughts.
cool

Anyone recommend me a good web browser?
One that loads web pages fast,
has Pinch zoom,
long-press copy/paste,
flash support
and preferably one that doesn't have a UI that takes up a lot of space. I like to have my status bar up top and still have a large area to view webpages.
I've been using Dolphin but the UI is too overdone and large.
best browser imo is Skyfire

I changed my rom from the basic Desire HD sense to cyanogen mod 7 a few weeks back, and I like it for the most part. There's just a few things I miss. The biggest thing is the fact that I can't merge/link facebook, google twitter etc. contacts together. So I have 3 different contacts for the same person. Is there an app that could let me do this, without all of them needing to have the exact same name?
Also, I liked the sense keyboard alot more, is there an app for that too?
Thanks
Yes, long press on contact hit edit contact.. Then menu-join... There is one issue fixed... As for the keyboard... I recommend SwiftKey, it isn't free but in my opinion the best.. Or look around here for a swype apk... That would be free, or what ever... Just look around. And get the amazon app market, you'd be surprised what you get for free, and they do have discounts on stuff... But keyboards are more preference I guess, some people like to be able to swipe, some like bigger keys and customization like thumb keyboard, some like predictions and functionality like SwiftKey... Idk...
