What keyboard do you use? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I use SwiftKey X on my Nexus.

SwiftKey X is what I use. And before that, I used Smart Keyboard Pro.

Ilike the stock gb keyboard. But my second choice has been smart keyboard

I kinda switch between stock and SwiftKey.

Smart Keyboard Pro (the best) and Stock Gingerbread Keyboard.

Stock Gingerbread keyboard for life. I've gone to Swype, smart keyboard, swiftkey x etc. I always go back.

Stock Gingerbread keyboard.
For some odd reason, it just feels right.

Stock, for now. Not because I'm convinced it's the best, but because I haven't tried anything better yet and I don't want to pay to test everything. Swype is nice, too, but it just didn't improve my input rate that much and I ended up getting rid of it. Thumb Keyboard is also really good in landscape mode, or on tablets.

I used swype for while, but found SwiftKey x to be better.

Swype, especially useful in the case where I need to reply something with my phone on the car holder. The "clamp" basically prevent my fingers from keying the buttons at the side, but swype worked nicely.

Stock, I believe it's the best.

I use Swype

Smart keyboard pro for me. Hands down beats the crap out of the stocker once you customize it to your liking.
Even use it on my tab..

I think it looks really cool and I'd love to try it out (but sadly I have no idea when it will be released) .
How did you try it? You a developer for SPB? This I'd just a SPB tease, quit posting this crap!

Doesn't work on my incredible.

it's a nice app!=D
Tried it on my Captivate. It is super smooth and well done. There were some customization issues that I got used to with go launcher and launcher pro. But overall it's probably the most sophisticated and well build launcher for android.
You can find the beta version if you just google it

It's called Beta for a reason. Not everything is supposed to work.
Can't get this to run on a Desire. Anybody else been successful?
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
It does not work on Droid X or Droid 1 or Nook Color. Is it possible to mod it so it does work?
i can't find it.. can someone give me a link.. ?
Didn't have any success with my Milestone XT720 (device not supported). I don't know if it was the link or my phone.
Lots of people are having trouble activating it, myself included.

No love on Heroc. Just FC or Wait, never anything else.
Pity. Can't wait for official version to be released.
someone share the link,PLEASE
The best launcher, but too messy tbh, iphone all over again. Wish it had option of organising apps alphabwtically.

Doesn't activate on Nexus one =/
Hopefully this device will be supported in the future, looks spiffy.

This launcher is pretty neat. But miui sgs made it obsolete on our phones. It looks fairly similar but performs pretty bad right now.

Link doesn't work. I had that SPB Home on my Tilt 2 and liked it. Very customizable, but it was a resource hog, so I stopped using it.
Yea, signed up for the beta testing a couple months ago and used it for awhile. Pretty stable and has good looks and no lag really.

If that's what you're running than that's a really old version. The version they sent allows you to set 4 shortcuts in the dock and 1 for the app drawer instead of the 2
It's a pretty neat and fast launcher except for a few things that may be just me:
-Look is a bit meh
-Can't place icons where you want them to (all gravitate from top to bottom, left to right)
-reeeeallly high memory usage compared to others (approx. 40-60mb, leaves some games running sluggish)
-Can't use live wallpapers (I would at least like the option to)
It's cool and different, but always find myself going back to even the stock launcher or ADW EX
I think I got the beta 5 back in December or January, but I haven't really used it since then. I just reinstalled it real quick so I could post some screens.

While I agree it runs a little slow the last time i used it. I dont know about MIUI making anything obsolete as it looks like a dated Iphone, but to each their own

[REQUEST] Razer WoW Numeric Pad

I admit, I'm a WoW player. And I'm a Razer fan. I love their products, because they make it so convenient for a lot of things. But I no longer have my Razer mouse (or a computer, but friends do) and I would like to have just a remote app that works as a keyboard, with just the number pad. Starting with 1 in the top left, and 12 in the bottom right.
This is a little vague, I'm sorry. Lol.

Hopefully some one can relate. Lol.

So you want to be able to play your dk, well at least your rotation from your phone. I use unified remote but this only has a regular keyboard. I wouldn't think what you want would be out of the question, hardest part will be getting someone to make it since an app like that would be useless to 99% of people. In saying that I would use it on occasion for lols.

Oh I'm only playing a DK cause I'm on a friends account. Lol. Get him to 85, then earn Heirlooms for a new toon. But yeah, I understand what you mean. I wish I had my mouse back. So I didn't have to request this. Lol. But it would come in handy. Just using it with my left hand, and a mouse in the right would be easier than using a keyboard. I hate using that thing. Even though its razer. Lol.
That app your talking about would work, if the numeric keypad covered the whole screen.
But this app doesn't only have to be used with WoW. It can also be used for people that do inventory as a job, or doing taxes. Idk. Just an idea.

You know, I might just email Razer and see what they think. Lol. An addon for WoW compatable with Android.

Yooooo. Samsung quality and the keyboard looks great, compared to this rather garbage keyboard we got stuck with. Thoughts?
Specs aren't nearly as good though. Sadly, I don't think I'd even recommend this for my wife come August when she can get a new phone.

If it's got an S4, I personally would not care about the downgrade in camera. I don't use a camera that much, so it wouldn't be much of a loss to me. I can see why others would be annoyed though, haha.

Wth we got some awesome keyboard I love this keyboard I rate it better than the G2 which was also great, I hate the samsung epic keyboard and this one looks about the same -_-
The best keyboard IMO tho was the sidekick 2, till this day I haven't found a better one on any other phone. the one that was actually about the same in quality was the htc pro 2 keyboard which was pretty awesome but buttons were a little to big.

The Sidekick slide has an epic Keyboard Samsung has no ground in the QWERTY world. If this an Epic 4G for T-Mobile, sign me up. But if it's just one of there cheap boost mobile QWERTYS. I'll stay with my myTouch, which I'm considering giving up once the new Jellybean QWERTY comes out.

Best keyboard ever? Free!

SwiftKey...
Its badass but its not totally free.
Swift has no cursors.
Free? Do you mean Swift?
This one is free enough.
This one is less buggy then Smart.

Nothing handles punctuation like SwiftKey. Key is decent but it's no SwiftKey.

Swiftkey is comes closest to the stock iPhone, never seen real keyboard.
This is what I use and I like it better than SwiftKey, which I used for a year at least. It was great but just a couple of things I didn't like about it that I like more with Kii keyboard. and yes, its free.. and if you go into options or settings you can change some things to make it more like swiftkey or however you like.
