Is the jellybean soft keyboard better than the ics one? The ics has bad lag on it when I type fast. Also the space bar is weird so when I type I hit the b or the n key instead of space.
Thanks for your responses, jellybean is sounding better every time I read about it! Lol so excited for a skyrocket port. Lol

Jelly Bean (Android 4.1) keyboard is better than the Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) keyboard. JB keyboard learns your typing habits to predict and to correct words a lot better (like Swiftkey) and responds faster. The ICS keyboard would throw suggestions at you while you typed the word.
I prefer ICS over Jelly Bean... im cant seem to get a full sentence right at one go!
Yes it will be much better, similar to SwiftKey which is the BEST keyboard to date.

Jellybean keyboard is far better than ics one, also, there is offline voice typing included :good:
One thing I really miss about the ICS KB is how the punctuation marks showed up in the suggestion bar after a press of the space bar. With jb I'm having to long press to get anything other than a period.
JB a lot better

@rocky
........never mind me
whats the difference between this and the stock keyboard?
There's 4 different ones but the Iphone one has spaces surrounding all letters making it way easier to deliniate letters visually and hit them physically.
I'm using Swiftkey alpha limited version.
It predicts your next word rather than correcting it. And you choose one of 3 boxes on top instead of pressing space. So after typing a couple of letters, the word you want is usually up there.
where did you find swiftkey?
/me demands a swiftkey apk.
the default nexus one keyboard does suck monkey rocks.... I've been looking for a keyboard, but I just tried the DESIRE ROM and the HTC keyboard ROCKS! The ROM is just not quite ready for prime time though...
dang swift key is pretty badass
Really wish someone had a swiftkey apk to throw to the great people at xda devs.

A quick google for "swiftkey apk" will get you a copy!
Just tried it out and its pretty good!
I also love Smart Keyboard Pro.. I keep switching between SKP, HTC and Swiftkey!
Smart Keyboard has greatly improved its word correction algorithm. It is still not on par with HTC_IME's but I would say it is almost comparable to the stock one. I prefer Smart Keyboard for the multitouch capabilities. I type faster and it just feels more natural. I know the HTC_IME is not multitouch, is Swiftkey? I signed up for the beta trial but as of yet have not received notice.
Swiftkey is hands down the best N1 keyboard.

swift key gave me better results than Smart pro.
They both suck ass simply because theyve failed to include a good voice to text icon.
I like smart keyboard a lot, I just wish it had voice to text. I'd assume it's just a simple API call, and you're done, no? Not like you need to code the entire service.
I can type incredibly fast with it, which I cannot do on the stock keyboard. That is enough for me to use it.
Have to say that Smart KB is really great. Works very well with Germany qwertz layout and types better than stock or htc.
I still think Swype is #1 keyboard.

The XDA keyboard is great an all, but I've really loved the AOSP Keyboard on the older DarchLegend roms. I don't see it on any of his new roms, and i can't find an .apk for it.
I've searched for awhile, no luck. Anyone know where it's at?
are you talking about the OEM android keyboard? if so then i second that. i'd love to find out how to get the keyboard back. i hate the htc keyboard with a passion
Yeah. The HTC keyboard, and our version of it, arent great. I also find them very laggy at times; I have to type very slowly and deliberately, which isn't cool.
This should work, just flash from recovery.

EDIT: Works with latest Sprint Leak, but also works with old Legend leak.
So try it on the new
Perfect, thanks!
So I flashed this keyboard and it shows up under my Keyboard settings but the HTC Keyboard still shows up when I want to type. Is there something I'm missing? I'm using a flashed version of the Sprint 2.1 leak.

Not in my experience. With the sound and vibration off, it's just as fast as the sense keyboard with sound and vibration off, same goes for them both on. Also, it keeps giving me nonsensical autocorrections. It tries to correct common words like "an" to "Android".

what i'm really interested in is how to do it for future apps?
It seems that alot of cooks are cooking in the XDA Sense keyboard and I have found it extremely laggy. Glad I found this to install. Thanks.
When I installed the AOSP keyboard, the a and l both have gaps on the side of them and are transparent, is there any way to fix this?
Using the keyboard in Darchdroid has made me like my phone again. The HTC keyboard is so painfully laggy its mindnumbing. The stock Android keyboard is instant and accurate, love it.

I really hope this is possbile on the nexus s. The HTC IME keyboard is absolutely indispensible to me. It in my experience has by far the best spell correction out of any keyboard I've tried. No other keyboard can I mess a word up so bad, add in a few extra letters than the word has, or not have enough, and it will still figure out what I'm trying to say.

Big thanks, gimpsta. I've been playing around with the keyboard generator since last night and it's an awesome service :]
I also have a wild, nubby question:
Probably the only thing I love about the stock Froyo keyboard is the upward-swipe gesture that extends the number and punctuation rows above the qwerty layout. The long-press method on HTC IME is alright, but not quite as fast (for me) as the upward-swipe.
Is that something that's even possible to incorporate into this mod? Or is it sort of an apples to oranges kind of thing?
Thanks for keeping everything up to date. If I know myself well enough, I'll be back to your generator in about two days to whip up another layout
You can set long press delay to 250 ms which is much faster to me than swype up on stock kb.
Love the keyboard!
Mainly using Swype now but HTC_IME mod still rocks

The first part, no. As far as making the gingerbread keyboard look like this, it could probably be skinned to look like this and maybe some features added, but if you really want THIS (htc_ime mod) keyboard/feature set with multitouch I highly recommend smart keyboard pro. You can skin it to look just like htc_ime (or anything you want) and it has literally every feature htc_ime mod has and then some.

anyone have any suggestions for a keyboard? i don't like the stock one so im using smart keyboard since i already bought it when i had my atrix 2. only problem is its not ics friendly yet. in landscape mode the settings bar cuts off the last keys down the right side of the keyboard when texting and it doesn't fully stretch across the screen when using a browser. i know it because it hasn't been updated to support ics fully yet (im guessing that's true) but i like the look and feel of it has a lot of customizations. any suggestions?

I really like Swype, but maybe I'm just so used to it now (been using it since it came out). HTC's keyboard isn't bad though. Swiftkey is pretty good as well. I'm using djdarkknight's stock ics themed version of Swype currently.

I've been using Thumb Keyboard for almost a year across multiple devices but I am anticipating the Swiftkey 3 release. (I know there is a free beta but I'm waiting for it to be official)
Quick question, does anyone know if Swiftkey 3 will be an update to Swiftkey X (which I've already purchased) or are they going to release it as a separate app?
Normally I don't care for Go Keyboard, but it's been pretty responsive with the One X and I've been liking it a bit better than my swype keyboard.

Try Hacker's Keyboard... I loved it on my Captivate, Atrix and Galaxy Nexus. It's completely customizable and offers tons of options.
For the One X, I actually stuck with the stock keyboard for now, it's actually pretty good in my opinion.
I switched from Swiftkey to the stock ICS keyboard that's available on the market
I actually don't mind the htc keyboard on this phone, besides the arrow keys. That said, chalk another one up for Swiftkey 3 Beta. That keyboard is amazing.

Nope, no sign, no smoke signal yet.....
Google replaced the Bluetooth stack in 4.2 and effectively destroyed Bluetooth on many devices. Google is now trying to correct the problem and have announced that 4.2.2 will be out shortly, whatever that means, and have a fix.
So I would think that no devices will be getting 4.2 for some time until Google works out its self-caused Bluetooth disaster.

There are partial fixes like occasionally clearing the cache on the Bluetooth service/software, and frequently restarting Bluetooth - but its a pain and it doesn't work well.

No thank you, I'd rather keep 4.1 with the streamlining updates Asus keeps sending us. For the moment 4.2 seems like a step backwards.

4.2.2 is out for nexus devices. That means the bugs(Bluetooth and WiFi) in the the original OS got a fix so we could expect the update for asus transformer infinity in a month or so. Waiting desperately for it.
Why are you waiting desperately? What does it bring that you can't have now?

4.2 is a keeper for me, mainly because of Google's swype-style keyboard. It's excellent.
And I would definitely like the new UI that is on nexus 10. The new multi-tasking is kinda nice. I guess swiping the apps up or down is better that swiping them sideways to close them.
