Anybody has it and tried it on gb tab?

Use to use it exclusively even on 2.2. I have since moved on to Thumb Keyboard and haven't looked back
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056976
What I do love about the GB keyboard is that it doesn't use the whole screen if it doesn't need it. Something I have always hated about the Samsung keyboard is that even in the Google search widget, you click to type and !!BAM!! whole screen keyboard.
Found the answer myself. Got it from android market. Problem solved

No there isnt. There is a Samsung Keyboard and a Swype Keyboard, nothing else.

I agree. Nothing comes close to it.with tablets.

I just ran into TSwipe-Pro. The theory is the same as Swipe, but it moves the letters to the right side of the screen and adds a 3x3 cursor control on the left side. Actually works pretty good as the distance to Swipe is reduced. I think it shows real promise. It also includes quite a few different keyboard layout options. So you can set up a right shifted "swipe" on portrait and a thumb keboard on landscape.

I just tried the latest beta version thumb keyboard...I liked the layout variations for 7" tablets. They were great.
Only one prob though, there were no language variants for the keyboard layout. I was unable to get the ä and ö although I was able to use the Finnish dictionary...is this the case or was this just a user error?
I tried Best Keyboard, but stopped on GB keyboard with English and Russian dictionaries.
I don't like Swype and not mentally ready for 8pen ;-).
I have tried a ton of keyboards and I just can't seem to find anything that is useful with our skinny little screen. I dislike the non-configurationablism of the stock keyboard.
Anyone have a preference? I'm not big on sliding keyboards. I have slideit full version, but dislike it as well. I dislike prediction and prefer double-touch enabled keyboards.
Any recommendations?
Tried:
Stock (heh)
Go Keyboard
Swiftkey X (Phone)
Thumb Keyboard
slideit
better keyboard 8
probably others I'm not remembering
Have you tried thumb keyboard? You can adjust pretty much anything including keyboard dimensions and layout.
I use it on both my xoom and sensation. Its great!

yeah I bought it and use it on my tablet. I will give it a shot right now.
Yeah.. I stopped using that one because it is not multi-touch. The creator of that app told me he will be releasing a multi-touch version later.
I type too fast for a single touch display. often one finger will not fully lift before another drops down and it causes me to miss very often.
Better keyboard is great in that respect, but is lacking the features of thumb keyboard.
Just tried go keyboard for the first time. It's pretty good but it's multitouch works differently than better keyboard 8. If you press F and then press U before F is released on BK8, it puts the U in on keydown but if you do the same with GO it puts the U in when the F lifts.
My top favorites are SwiftKey and A.I. Keyboard..they work great for me!

bought swiftkey X (phone). Not sure I will like it, but I'm going to play with it some more later to see if I can tweak it out. Looks very nice for prediction junkies though. pretty nice.
I'm going to see if I can get into prediction typing.
May I recommend GO Keyborad??
To me its just the perfect size and have the keyboard theme set to white which compliments alot of pages I visit and the pressed color to it is also nice....... Lime in color!!
Also I would suggest editing your OP with a listing so at least folks know what you have used ;-) food for thought

Yeah listing would have been a good idea. I just couldn't remember off the top of my head and didn't have my phone handy.
I tried GO. it's decent. I want better! '
I think I'm just going to be hosed because the width of the keys are too small for my fat fingers when used with this small screen in portrait.
Maybe I will just be stuck in landscape and double thumbing.
Best keyboard imo is swype. You can't get it on the market for now but you can register on beta.swype.com it works like a charme! You may need 2-3 days but then you will be definitely faster than typing.

I'm the developer of Thumb Keyboard. I stumbled upon this thread because I have a Sensation myself (love it btw).
Thumb Keyboard 4.x is already multi-touch.
If there are any suggestions to improve the keyboard let me know. I already built in an option to resize the font, because the high resolution of the qHD display will reduce the size of the font (which is great in the case of some other apps btw). Any other suggestions/requests for the sensation display are very welcome.
Btw an update will be released this weekend or begin next week with, amongst others, a split keyboard with cursor keys. Works great on the Sensation. But that's my very biased opinion. Also it will be packed with a ton of downloadable high Res themes.
try smart keyboard...its amazing and full of options to costumize...im using this keyboard since my first android phone
You can always give 8pen a go. Who knows? Maybe you'll be the one that fully masters it. I'm also waiting on the beta of Touchpal Curve Input to be released. You can find a few videos of it on YouTube.

+1 for smart keyboard, has arrow keys configurable to be on the main screen, key size customization and a bunch more. I regret it does not have copy paste commands, afaik.

Ultra Keyboard if you haven't already tried it.
FlexT9? I think is double touch. It's basically a combo of swype and dictation. Also you can actually write your letters out a la Sony Clie days lol. Pretty much a jack of all trades but does not do one particularly well, but gets the job done. The Dragon software is pretty spot on for me.

Agreed! i am so used to speeding through my texts now that i pretty much only use the gingerbread kb mainly because of the multi touch but i have grown very fond of thumb keyboard
swype all the way !
Im using touchpal keyboard and for me this is the best keyboard for my note, im using polish dictionary, and dictionary in other keyboards are not so good. Keyboard is available in AM for free! Im using leather skin.

I'm using the Swiftkey X Keyboard and sometimes the SlideIT Keyboard.
I love both keyboards and i couldnt get a decision which is better.
Try it!
Thumb and a.I. keyboard

I use Swype but have tried all the above mentioned on smaller screens...still can't make up my mind which is better though...
Keep switching between swift key and thumb keyboard myself. Slide it is also really nice.

Swype is great after mastering the short learning curve!
SlideIT is the best for me
Patos via tapatalk.
For people like me that often write in more than one languange (English and Spanish for example) SwiftKey Tablet X (or Swiftkey X) is simply the best keyboard for any device because you don't have to keep switching languages while you type, it auto detects and corrects on any language (up to three) at the same time!
I did read that there are not many themes and for Spanish are some issues with ñ character, any comments?
Both really stop my buy.

Is it possible with Swiftkey to use it only with particular apps? The default one to stay as primery and to use Swiftkey only with specific apps?

I installed touchpal, and seems like it is not scaled properly, i.e., the keys are sided to the left, instead of taking up all the horizontal span, can you tell me how to make it take up all the space? Plus, it also seems when pressing on a word that wasn't in the dictionary doesn't bring up the option to save it, can you point me to the solution(s)? Thanks ps: I'm using ics build from the chinese leak...

You can use any keyboard you have installed. Touch and hold anywhere in the writing area and choose your preferred input method. It will remain until you change it again in the same way.
Im using kingdroid rom and the keyboard came with the rom, try to swap rom...

I'm using imilka's AOSP rom, and I have the same problem with TouchPal. But I have to mention that I have the tablet interface and I changed the display density. And I'm guessing that's causing the problem! So I was wondering if you've changed the display density too? I really like TouchPal but I can't use it with the keys sided to the left!

Yes! but swiftkey servers are down... I'm trying to access. I'll update the tablet version as soon as i can.
Thanks I'm waiting for hours because swift key site its Down.
No gestures?
Thanks for the share!
What does everyone think about the beta? I love the new themes and bigger space bar, but having no gestures and all punctuation on the same button having me scratch my head. I loved the swipe to delete a whole word feature!
Thanks for the link. Have been trying to grab this since I read about it earlier, with no luck from the SK site.
Totally genius app!!!love it like he'll!

Thanks for the downloads. using it right now to type out this post. The layout on the keyboard is great but the app seems to lag a bit.
Sent from my SGH-T989
Thanx, been waiting to try this.
Does anyone know if there's a way to stop the "Select Input Notification" to constantly pop up while using this? I've looked thru the SwiftKey settings to no avail. It's super annoying and distracting.
Anyway to change the period to a question mark? They had a question mark there before. Now it takes so long to add commas and question marks
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
I really hope they put back in the long-press duration setting. I find this one of the most appealing parts of SwiftKey.
Will they update SwiftKey X to SwiftKey 3 or do we need to buy another keyboard?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
I dont known but you can have two kbs installed and choose one of them. In my list of kbs appears "Swiftkey X" and Swiftkey 3 Beta".
Frank
Yea, I hope I don't need to buy another keyboard for what should be enough to justify as just an update.
As as for the lag, that seems to have gotten a lot better after switching themes from cobalt to holo. Still is kind of laggy though.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
There are two points that i dont like at all about last beta. The short size of letters/simbols amb my clear theme (like ics) that does not appear in theme list.
Enviado gracias a la magia del hombre blanco
Also, when you long press the period to access the punctuation, the first option after pressing should be a comma. Why should anyone long press the period only to select period.

Hi everybody, TouchType Ltd. have decided to release their latest beta for the ever popular SwiftKey today for free
Seeing as the demand for the beta is hammering their servers, I decided to upload the .apk to my dropbox for everybody to enjoy. Just download and install like you would with any other app
Here's the file: http://db.tt/GHjXdQi7
FYI, this is a FREE, OPEN beta and therefore this is a FREE APP. I understand the rules of xda, and I do not condone or promote pirating in any way!

I'm coming from Smart Keyboard Pro. It seems pretty fast. Runs well. I haven't had any problems so far. I love the Neon theme. Once I get used to all the gestures I'm sure I will be able to speed up with it. So far so good. Thanks for posting!
can someone explain why they removed the comma key?
B4 this I'm using the old version ...I will test this too...
i'm back to the retail version, this one just doesn't cut it for me somehow
there were more features with the retail version settings, especially the long press duration, and the punctuation keys being separated.

Probably because some people, like me, were complaining that the old space bar was too freaking narrow. I kept accidently hitting the period. It's way better now.
The comma is now more of a swipe - a fine tradeoff imho.
Oooo this is nice. It's much better on mine. Thank you for this. Really pleased!

For me the old version is much better. The beta lags (ok the final version might fix this). But the layout without comma is stupid. There is more then enough room for a direct comma key, at least in the landscape on a 10" device. If there's no other way they could remove the stupid SwiftKey key or make it as second feature for comma.
Another point is the lacking option to change long key press duration for secondary assignment.
The possibility to learn from older SwiftKey in addition to Gmail, Facebook and Twitter would be nice too.
At the moment I will not test it on my Note, maybe I'll give some later versions a try.

I have a "radical" idea...how about swift key making an OPTION to have either

Call me goofy, but let the USER make the decision on the spacebar size?
