I have searched around and not sure if its just on gingerbread software or not. I use smart keyboard pro and on CM7 or any gingerbread based rom, their is a small green arrow under the txt for placement. That is super handy and i miss it on froyo ROM's. Anybody have any idea of how to get that? Do i need to flash a GB keyboard? Not sure since I noticed it worked on smart keyboard, so i figured it might be an integrated feature, so it may not be just teh GB keyboard.
But that helps me a ton! So I thought I would ask after finding nothing on the forums.
Try thumb keyboard in the market

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realize that the new HTC keyboard does have multitouch and a better word correction system...so I guess this keyboard is obsolete now
Hi everyone,
I'd just a lil' question for you !
I've a friend on htc desire who has a small arrow just below the text that he can move to put the text cursor where does he want. The fact is he had a cyanogen rom on it so maybe it comes from here but i dunno and neither does he.
I've found on google that it could comes from the htc keyboard but nothing really concluding.
So I just would like to know if you have heard something about an app or something which could give me this arrow.
ps: i'm definitly not looking for arrows on keyboard but something like a bigger cursor than the common one that I don't consider precise enough
I think your friend is using some copy and paste app.

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 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 ;-).
Is there any way to gett the droid multitouch keyboard to work on the stock 2.3.3 rom? I cant get acquainted with another keyboard after using that one for so long...lol
same problem here cant find the key board for 2.3.3
I've been waiting FOREVERRRR for this.

Close enough? Basically the same, new features. Google or XDA search Gingerbread keyboard for 2.3 etc. There are many thems and mods too. I'm running a blue Ginger keyboard on MikG 2.3 (Android 2.3.3) right now.
It might be more of a mail app issue.. but the new keyboard has the send etc buttons over the message body when in landscape mode. The old one didn't do that. I'm looking for one closer to the old multi-touch keyboard because of that.
Lots of keyboards for the EVO HERE
I've tried them all stock, SwiftKey, swype, SwiftKey x beta, smart, better keyboard, an all are mediocre. Does anyone have a really good keyboard? It seems that wp7 and apple hav flawless keyboards right now and its upsetting android is letting me down with quality.
Edit: notice how the spelling isn't even perfect when making the thread. (using SwiftKey x beta)

After getting used to it, the stock gingerbread has quickly become my favorite onscreen keyboard. I've used them all and I like Swype and Swiftkey as well, but I really dig the speed of the gingerbread keyboard. It's a personal choice of course, I hope you find your perfect keyboard!
Sometimes I find it hard to click on the right letter, but the stock keyboard is indeed the most responsive you will find.
Ultra keyboard also seemed ok to me, very customizable and has a tool bar on top of it that offers quick acces to basic actions like copy, paste, cut, settings etc from a single touch. It also supports gestures. I really enjoyed typing on it but it has this small issue that was a deal breaker for me: typing on the enter button requires a small pause to be clickable, I think the space button as well. I think its there to prevent accidental typing on them while you are typing words, but it really pissed me off.
The keyboard from HTC Sense also seemed to be very ok, I found it to be the most accurate on suggesting words, just google HTC_IME mod and give it a try.
Other then that they are all the same for me, except that the stock GB keyboard is definitely the most responsive one.
Swype and swiftkey are a no-no for me, people just think they are faster but its just a new type of typing, something new. Typing with 2 thumbs is much faster then swyping with 1.
I tried Swift Key and Swype, nothing beats the stock keyboard, really zippy
Tried everything. Stock is the best, except for the occasional ddouble lletters.

I have tried a few also. Ever since gingerbread keyboard on the market came out it been my favorite. Don't see what's great about iPhone / windows keyboards? Same stuff.
My one gripe is the android keyboard sound. I hate it. I know better keyboard has the iPhone sound which is much better.
I'm using the gingerbread keyboard. I think is the best for fast typing...
thanks for all the responses and after fast texting with all the keyboards I find stock to be the fastest but it does still have some bugs like the double letters idk if any of you have experienced that but hopefully ice cream sandwich fixes that! (if we even get it haha)

try it slide keyboard
Smart Keyboard Pro
Stock gingerbread is the best then the 2 best would have to be
HTC sense
I used to use stock Keyboard only
But one day Amazon App Store gave away Flex t9 keyboard app for free and I've been using it ever since.
You guys should all try it, I fell in love.
on an interesting side note, Nuance is the developer of the keyboard which is a company in which apple is interested in acquiring. not that I favor apple, but shows the quality of what this keyboard can be.
It's like swype + swiftkey put together
I just had to mention it since I guess I saw nobody else did.
