Keyboard alternatives

Hi all!
A few days ago i found a really cool alternative keyboard to the stock one as well as to swype. Now, after i tested it for sometime, i wanted to share it with you.
So since i didn't find a thread for keyboards in here, i came to the idea to make a collection of alternative keyboards, where everyone can introduce his favourites and list the options of it.
I'll make the start:
Ultra Keyboard - a really good keyboard with loads of options, very precise swyping and, in my opinion, unmatched word suggestion. I'm using the version 5.6.3 right now.
PRO:
- faster word suggestion than swype
- in my opinion much better precision than the 2.44 version of swype (1.6 was much better, but did unfortunately expire)
- all important layouts (QWERTY, QWERTZ, AZERTY, Alphabetical, Compact Keyboard (T9), automatical switch to numeric pad, when in an appropiate field)
- many themes (presets or even self made)
- adjustable button height for perfect precision
- option to manually calibrate the keyboard
- gesture support (for example to cange dictionary language, i use it to change from english to german and back)
- built-in translation feature
- speech-to-text
- camera mode for "transparent" screen (useful if you're typing while you walk)
- easily add and delete words in your user dictionary
- much more ... just try it!
- available dictionaries: english, german, french, italian, dutch, spanish
CONTRA:
- like all good things, it's not free
Price: 2,00 € (about 2.50$)

So that's all i remember right now. Oh, just to add that: This is no advertisement and I'm not connected to the developer in any way
So what keyboards can you suggest?

I started using HTC mod then I used Smart Keyboard PRO
this was very easy and I find that it have the most effective error correction ability. means you can trype the word but you will never touch correct key always. but touching the next key to the desired key and still you will end up getting the correct word at the end.
Then I switched to SwiftKey Keyboard
It has unique ability to lean my way of typing and suggest my next word. so far it made my typing faster.
Check it out...

I'm using SlideIT. If you choose free (demo) version it has some limitations like 10 custom words in memory. It expires after some time but then I just reinstall it and it works like a charm again...
So, long story short you have free keyboard with swyping support and tons of different languages.

Download
v27
High resolution version
High resolution version (Froyo/2.2)
Low resolution version for Android 1.6 and up
Low resolution version for Android 1.5 (no voice input)
Instructions:
Download and unzip (not flashable update.zip!)
Install the two apks (HTC_IME & Clicker) using your favorite method (via a file manager or adb install -r). Sense users shouldn't (and needn't) install Clicker.
There is no need to push anything to /system
Go to Menu, Settings, Language & Keyboard. Activate "HTC_IME mod"
To change keyboard, long press on lower left key on stock keyboard or any input field. Select input method in the menu.
See note below if you have earlier versions than v22 installed already!
Requirements:
Android
Compatible resolution screen
Compatible CPU. Sorry can't say which they are but I know some Samsung phones are not supported. This is due to the included HTC native prediction library.
Configuring my hacks
All configuration is now done in the settings dialog. No need for config files on SD card (v22 and up).
Some options modifies stuff that are set when the keyboard first loads. Thus you need to kill it for changes to take effect (or reboot).
Upgrade notes
Starting with v22 I now use my own java package name. This means that it can be installed in parallel with stock HTC_IME (no root needed on Sense).
Settings from v21 and earlier can't be read from v22 and up. You must enter them again. The user dictionary can be exported from v21 and imported into v22. Both versions can coexist during this process. This inconvenience will only happen between v21 and newer. Sorry for this, but this change will enable me do to more advanced mods in the future.
v23 has a hires Clicker. You should install it if not using Sense
Source code
Interested in how I do this? I've decided to share the sources for the mod so that the project can live on when I get tired of it. You can study it just for learning or implement your own mods. You are free to do whatever you want with if as long as you buy me a beer

Please spend a few hours trying to set it up and figure out some stuff on your own before bombarding me with questions...

Fixes: voice input in all keyboards, voice input didn't capitalize correctly, "speak now" dialog showing to early, prediction not showing for passwords anymore, auto capitalization for T9/compact QWERTY now works in browser, smoother movement of word suggestion list, settings button showed "EN" (now scaled icon from lowres), Landscape now works on Droid (with resolution related glitches)
Version 9: Fixed the screwed up enter key in v8. Added experimental voice server settings. For German to work you will have to use the alternative server.
Version 8: Added custom word candidates bar. Fixed wacky SHIFT key. Word candidate list position now remembered. Configurable in settings dialog. Added some Extras to voice input Intent copied from stock KB (missed earlier). One step closer to Droid landscape support.
Version 7: Fixed compatibility with Terminal Emulator in CyanogenMod, KB going haywire in CoPilot and word candidate list shows to low (hid active input field sometimes like in stock messaging app). Lowered android:minSdkVersion from 7 to 3. This could mean stock Droid support, but don't complain when it FC's on Cupcake
Version 6: Tweaks to the sentence auto capitalization code. Should now work in most web browser forms such as the message composer on this forum. Tweaked enter key behavior a bit.
Version 5: Show voice input button for all languages instead of EN button in all keyboards that uses the same layouts as the English ones. To fix this in all other layouts, modding binary XML is required. I need help with that. Voice input seems to use your current locale if supported, and English as fallback.
Version 4: New voice input control logic that doesn't break Google Voice search. Changed voice processing URL from dev server to stock keyboard settings.
Version 3: Fixed FC in User Dictionary editor. Fixed HTC not obeying EditorInfo.imeOption flag flagNoEnterAction (caused two sends in stock messaging app)
Version 2: Fixed FC in user database
Version 1: Initial release featuring language settings hack with .htcime and dictionary support in web browser forms. Tested on N1. Clicker is low res for now.
Old low res:
Version 4: Better support for OpenEclair (at least one reported succes with Dutch on it)
Version 3: Supports Samsung Galaxy/Spica (this version has never been featured on xda)
Version 2: Dictionary support in web browser forms
Version 1: Initial release featuring language settings hack with .htcime

Want to skin it?.....
gIMpSTa said:
I have created an "online kitchen" of sorts for creating custom skinned, signed, HTC_IME high and low res apk files. This means you guys can very easily create your own skins and customize the ones I've created!
What is this?
A website you can visit on your computer or directly from your phone that will let you a> create a custom skinned keyboard based off of any of the images currently in the library (various colored keys, backgrounds, etc) with whatever text color you want and b> customize existing "skins" (will be known as "presets") however your heats desire.
Currently, it should be considered very beta. All the features that are here should be working 100%.
Why beta, that sounds scary?
It's beta for a couple of reasons, 1 because it's currently UGLY as sin (concentrated on features and back end first) and 2 because I'm actively working on it which means it could break at any time.
What is the point of this?
Besides the fact that you can now customize the hell out of the way your keyboard looks, it drastically reduces the amount of work I have to do in the future. Currently, i'm uploading 46 pre-themed apk files for every single update. While this isn't really a big deal since I automated the process, it slows down how quickly I can put up updates. With this new method, all I have to do is upload the original unthemed keyboard apk and classes.dex for each new version and my work is done!
Everything else:
If you select a preset, you will still be asked to choose each portion of the keyboard (background, buttons, text color etc). The image with the yellow border around it (you'll see what I mean) is the default "piece" for the preset.
One last thing, depending on server load it could take anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes to generate the keyboard. Most of the time I suspect it will be < 1 minute tho.
I don't mind if you use this to generate a keyboard and include it with something (theme/morph) or post it somewhere, just give due credit
URL for HIGH RES online kitchen: http://www.gimpsta.com/themer/
URL for LOW RES online kitchen: http://www.gimpsta.com/themerlo/
Current feature list / changelog:
Start from a "preset" (any of my current themes) and change any component of it.
Choose any of my current backgrounds
Choose any of my current primary/function key styles
Choose any of my current "symbol sets"
Choose any of my current space bar logo/images
Upload your own spacebar logo
Choose any color text for letters and alternate characters
Built in bug reporting/feature requests (for new image sets, for example)
Choose any color for background image
Preview keyboard before generating it
Option to see/reuse all skins you have generated
Option to see/reuse last 25 skins anyone has generated
Choose any color for symbol sets
Added lowres kitchen
Added option to choose between 1.5 only and 1.6+ low res versions in low res kitchen.
Added v25 froyo version.
Added all v26 versions to kitchen!
Added all v27 versions to kitchen!
Added v27-froyo lowres version to kitchen!

No problem
I think the same, i just started looking for other swyping keyboards because the latest release of Swype is a big step backwards from version 1.6 regarding accuracy and speed. But i'm glad I started looking, there are a lot of better keyboards out there, and right now ultra keyboard seems perfect for me

installed ultra
can anyone please tell me the perfect settings for ultra..
the settings section looks mess for me...
i feel it very complicated...
i got used to swype...
so any of you please tell me the exact settings to be put in ultra to make it more better than swype!

I tried Ultra too...
I didn't like it so, i'm with swype till gets out of bet and will cost money.
After, i'll have to decide which one i will use.
What i don't like about swype is the small selection of dictonaries while for Ultra probably you can create your own.

Well, for a start, just the keyboard options that you find here:
- Enable tracing. That's the swipe option in Ultra keyboard.
- set key height to a value that fits you perfect. Just try writing a few sentences till it feels right.
- Choose your Layout (QWERTZ, QWERTY, Compact (T9), AZERTY, Alphabetical)
Now, the other options (you find them, if you scroll the options bar on the keyboard horizontally, symbol is two crossed tools ):
- under "Typing" you can calibrate the keyboard so that you're able to hit the keys precisely. Calibrate both portrait and landscape mode.
- Under "Gestures" you can set, well, gestures There are a lot of options, I use a swipe down to chose my second dictionary. Set it to whatever you like
- under "Suggestions" you can choose to add contact names to the dictionary or blacklist words you don't need.
- note that Ultra keyboard repeats letters if you pause over a key, that's different than Swype is doing. You can enable/disable that under "Tracing"
That's some points I can think of right now. If there is something you want to change/ do or if you don't understand, just ask
Cheers

Thank you for your support!

Please support japanese!

Japanese language pack has been finished by GO DEV TEAM.It will be released soon.
You can pay attention to our blog:http://gokeyboard.goforandroid.com/archives/category/language-pack?lang=enThanks!

What about Brazilian Portuguese?

I saw this thread earlier and said I gotta check it out. Well I did and it's great. I already use go launcher and SMS so I figured this would be good as well. Was always looking for a good t9 keyboard. HTC keyboard ain't horrible but this one seems to be a lot better with predictions.
Thank you very much and all your work is appreciated.

Thanks for your support.

Updates are available!

Updates are available now~

what is multi-touch point?
if that means its a multi-touch keyboard, its not? i tried pressing a letter at and then another while still keeping the first letter pressed, and it only detects the first one.

PLEASE add a Neon theme

Please add multi-touch support.

Wow, this keyboard has improved a LOT recently. Japanese support is something I really want in a keyboard, as well as good English support, so I don't have to switch constantly. This one fits the bill. Are there more themes other than the 5 or so included in the settings menu, or is that it?
I particularly like that you can set the haptic feedback as short as you want. With many keyboards, the buzz is just too strong so I turn it off. I set it to the absolute minimum on this app, and it's just a mere suggestion of a vibrate, that you hardly even notice consciously, but still provides some tactile response to hitting a key. Nice.

loving go keyboard !!!
also .. i love all GO APPS ... i only dont use go score heheh
but please , could there be an option to " show landscape as default " ? even if phone has auto rotation disabled ? ( like web browser option ).
also a quick keyboard key to switch from landscape to portrait and vice versa.
THANKS !!

How can I use the spell check features? I have been making spelling mistakes on purpose and the suggestions are nowhere near the intended word, i.e I type "kat" and go keyboard corrects to "later" instead of cat or offering suggestions.

I think many people must be excited by the presence of emojis stickers (the cars and bicycles, the clinking beers and that bizarre, smiling pile of poo...) when they first started using IM applications, because I am one of them. So below you will find step by step instructions along with screenshots on how to get iphone emoji Keyboard with KK Emoji Keyboard.
Fisrt, you should know if your devices support Emoji. The fastest and easiest way for us to know if our Android devices can type and read emoji is go to http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoji on our devices' browser and scroll down to find “In the Unicode standard”. Expand it and go to the emoji tables. If you can see most of the characters there, you're so lucky. Your android devices comes with an emoji font and you donot have to do anything. Otherwise, you might need download and install some few third-party applications like whatsapp or facebook or google talk to use emojis.
Now, let's go to download and install KK Emoji Keyboard and enjoy the emoticons.KK Emoji Keyboard is the best colorful Emoji,Emoticons and Smiley Keyboard with Gesture Typing input you have seen! I promise!
Description:

the Google Keyboard that debuted with KitKat. Which many of you will remember featured Emoji, highly detailed Emoticons that have been popular in the East for years and they've since made their West.

I do not own this software and did not make this application, I follow his twitter and watch for the latest beta for android and upload it here for you guys to try out.
LATEST BETA [November 27, 2016]:
DOWNLOAD LATEST NINTYPE: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.jormy.sixtynine
This will be alpha only until 2018 as Jormy still has some work to do with the algorithm, amongst other things on android
Features:
two-handed tap/slide hybrid input
shortcut system
customizable themes
Devices that I tested it on: Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900W8) Canadian model, Samsung Galaxy Tab S (8.4), Galaxy S3 i9300, Galaxy tab 4 (7.0), LG G4, Galaxy S7, Sony Xperia Z3, Galaxy A5
Youtube Tutorial:

Have fun typing. It will be frustrating in the beginning but it's really worth it. Stick with it for a day or two and you will get a hang of it, you will learn fast that's what makes this keyboard brilliant. Once you learn how to type on it, Swiftkey, Google Keyboard, A.I. Type, Fleksy, Swype, Touchpal X, and even your computer keyboard won't compare to the speeds you can reach on this keyboard.
If the dev updates the beta I will post the updated link here

Looks good

i looked as well and i cant seem to find it either, sorry i didnt mention it before. maybe the next beta will have this option. if i do find out how, i will be sure to post it

Playing with it today.
I can't find a sound off option either.
Emoji-anything crashes the keyboard (no error, the keyboard just goes away for a minute).
Shortcut swiping is giving me a head-ache. Going to look for youtube video shortly.
Is there basic macro/shortcuts (ie, if I do "t " it expands to "the" ?)
I somehow messed up my topbar - it only shows the last words I typed, can't seem to go back to suggestions.
No clue on the slide-up flicking thing.
In settings, back pushes out of settings instead of back 1 menu (pita when trying to go through all the menus)
...BUT
For an early work, especially when he is concentrating on iOS - this is very, very promising!

i dont know about the basic macro/shortcuts i dont really use them. to reset your topbar i looked around the app but i guess the fastest thing to do is to reinstall the app. the flicking up thig u mentioned i think is the word selection after you type a word flick up from the spacebar to see other words you might have wanted to type intead of the one the keyboard displays. and yeah, the back in the menu pisses me of a lot.
I also agree. pretty well done for a beta. keyboard works for the most part.

Dev responded to me on twitter - no way to turn off noise at the moment. Says new version may come out in a few days.

If you are rooted, http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-app-settings-v1-9-2014-05-14-t2437377 can turn off the sound of the app.

Hi your app is super but can you add Turkish keys and how can i download your keyboard, can i find on samsung apps or tpk? It is really better than normal keyboard.

and would you please add Farsi/Persian?

Download arrow but already installed?
This is actually a minor issue, but I'm curious why it's happening. When I look at my list of installed Gear apps in the Galaxy Apps store, I can see everything that's installed has a "play" button to the right - all except TBKeyboard, which has a download arrow even though it is installed and working great.
If I remember correctly, this started with v1.1.6 because it didn't even alert me there was an update to v1.1.7, I just happened to click through and notice. But even after the update, the download arrow is still there. I can select "Install" and reinstall the app, but the arrow still shows. I've even wiped my watch to see if it solves it, but nope.
I'm using an S3 Classic T-Mobile with the latest (not 3.0) update, if that matters. Any ideas, tbuaron?

nice app i like it better than the stock keyboard

How about Polish?

Please can you add French keyboard ?
May be swipe feature will be sooo good

German language would be very helpful.

German language is already included.
