I really liked the ICS keyboard. I guess that was a sense one. Wish we could get it on JB.
Loved swype and google voice all in one!
I have swype now, but liked having google voice text and not the swype one....
Try IME Mod, there is a thread at the apps and themes forum. But I think it doesn't have the Swype thing. It's a mod of an older version of the HTC keyboard. Correct me if I'm wrong
hello, i'm new here and i think for the keyboard you can find one that suit you on googleplay
like swift 3

Hey everyone, just wanted to know what your favorite Android keyboard replacement is. What is it? Also, could you include a .apk for me to DL if it's not in the market or if it's htc_ime, since I already have it. Thanks for the help!

I like SlideIt and ShapeWriter. Swype beta is closed so use these both, pretty much the same. I think SlideIT is great, better word prediction of the 2, but lacks the ability to type numbers od punctuation by long pressing a key. Plus it its $8.
ShapeWriter is free and allows for the long press, so I use it. But the word prediction isn't as good as SlideIT (which was rarely wrong). If SlideIt would add this feature, it would be perfect. Will see how Swype is when it comes out, but these are good.
Before that I used Bettter Keyboard, but I like the swiping input style.
swype is the best!
swype
finally starting to love this. took a while to get used to it, but it really does work well. once it's out of beta, i definitely recommend downloading it.
Okay yeah, I've been using Swype beta (the one they officially released from their website) and my only issue with it is the lack of auto punctuation in many places. I'll try ShapeWriter too but I don't wanna spend any $, especially that much, on a keyboard. Has anyone else tried out the Themed HTC_IME's from XDA? I'm using one now and I love it, but I know that I input text faster with Swype. Any others?

Im currently using smart keyboard pro. It's multi touch, has several themes, and gives you a candidate bar with suggestions while using the droid's hardware keyboard.
Swipe is good too, but I mainly only use it for one handed operation

Right now I've been popping back and forth between Smart Keyboard Pro and jonasl's modified version of HTC_IME.
If you haven't tried the modded HTC_IME I would definitely start using it (it's less laggy and has a buncha new features). It has the best suggestion and correction of any of the non-swipers. Smart Keyboard Pro is still the fastest for me, though, and has the most features.
I have the same one as HTC_IME but I am trying to get the Swype keyboard on Mytouch 3g.
I have Mytouch 3g... Do u have an apk file cuz I have been looking around but I found a trial only n they are not working or are for another model of phone.
Shapewriter 3.09
Anyone have the Shapewriter 3.09 .apk. Can not find it in the market with 2.2

i agree. i'm addicted to it now.
i use the SwiftKey beta (i'ld post a link to their page but apparently im to new to do so).... its a real nice predictive text, that doesn't just try to do the current word but as it learns it will try and do the next word you going to write
I use smart keyboard pro because it has text substitution. For example, I can type xxx and have it pop in a long email address I have set up in the prefs. Saves a ton of typing.

Anyone have any feelings on this?
I've tried swype and loved it, is there any benefit of shapewriter?
I prefer Shapewriter. Easier to select alternate words and numbers.
All these keyboards need is a back/forward arrow. Anyone listening?
I prefer Shapewriter because the popup on Swype is annoying. Swype has better sound (I don't use sound, though) and better UI, but that's not enough for me to pick Swype over Shapewriter. They're pretty much the same thing. I don't notice a huge speed difference with either one.
Also Ultrakeyboard is another one, been using this today and prefer it to swype, haven't used shapewriter in a long time to compare, but thought I would offer another option.
I prefer the ShapeWriter final (v3.09) too. I just upgraded to the newest Swype beta the other day, and it's still buggy and quirky. How long does it take to finish it? I haven't tried Ultrakeyboard. I'll look at it.
I installed the latest Swype Beta and also find it buggy, it's been a while since I last tried ShapeWriter but I always found it better then Swype. I haven't tried Ultrakeyboard yet but I'll try this out.
I actually like "Graffiti for Android" very much; which has gotten better at predictive text, almost as good as "StrokeKeyboard". I also find both "Graffiti for Android" and "StrokeKeyboard" faster and more accurate then any of the 'Swype-type' keyboards (Swype/ShapeWriter/Ultrakeyboard).
EDIT: I just installed and tried out "Ultrakeyboard" and it is definitely way better then both "Swype" and "Shapewriter"..."Ultrakeyboard" has to be the best of the 'Swype-Type' keyboards. That said I still prefer "Graffiti for Android".
honestly, its just a personal preference. i've used swype and slideit and i swear by swype. also i had a friend who loves swype and he's used slideit.
so, i would recommend you try all different options and stick with the one you actually like, because everyone will just tell you that whatever they're using is the best

An Update I have installed the following Keyboards:
1. Swype beta
2. Android Keyboard
3. Graffiti
4. SwiftKey Beta
5. Ultra Keyboard
For the Swype-Type Keyboard I find Ultra Keyboard the best.
SwiftKey is the best for predictive text on a typing-type keyboard
and Graffiti is the best for a fun old school Stroke-Type keyboard (the other good option is StrokeKeyboard)
Thanks much for the reviews!

I was super happy with Better Keyboard on my Galaxy S but one day it automatically updated to a new version and now it will only work if I buy it. If I knew this was going to happen I would have never updated it. I even tried looking for the older version online but I could not find it.
So I was wondering what is the best FREE keyboard alternative out there? I don't use swipe but I do need the keyboard to be able to use accents (like ç, á, ô and so forth). Any suggestions?
I use thickbuttons its free..
i use gingerbread keyboard. Very good keyboard, highly customizable!
I've read that the only thing that doesn't work after the Swiftkey trial ends is the prediction? Is this right? If so I'm going to stick with it. I've just downloaded the trial and it's really great.

Swiftkey stops working after 30 days. They're sticklers about that.
If you like typing, I suggest the Gingerbread keyboard or the HTC IME that you can download from the nexus forums.
Swype is also available online. Google it.
hy. I use the HTC ime mod. today i try the swiftkey free,and the prediction of this keyboard are fantastic!
but htc ime have a key for the emotic,and use special char is easier.
there isn't a keyboard with the layeault of htc ime mod and prediction of swiftkey right?
Gingerbread keyboard is really nice.
I had Swype installed by default on my Defy and it was the first thing I installed when I got my Nexus S. I love it.

where i can find ithe last italian compatible version?
check this one, it does support many languages, its basically gingerbread keyboard with added languages and themes!
multiling is very good too!
Right now I'm using the themed keyboard linked in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957221 -- on CM7 Final. Looks great, love it, etc... just wondering if there are more themed keyboards out there that people can link in this thread. I'll try to stay on top of it and keep this post updated as new links are posted (with screenshots and links).
Again... looking for just stock, themed Gingerbread keyboards. If this has already been done, I apologize. And if there's no interest, I'll just let the thread die.
I was back & forth between Swype, SwiftKey, and used to use ShapeWriter back in the day on my Nexus One, but I've found that there really isn't a keyboard I like more than the stock Gingerbread keyboard.
I am also curious as I can't seem to find any others. Question for OP however. How do that Themed Keyboard and themed MMS work on RC4 without the rest of the theme?

Because they're technically separate applications.
Got it, they're awesome!

i am using "Smart Keyboard", it gives me the choice between a t9 and compact keyboard, i was using n81 before switching phone and i was not used to qwer keyboard.
Try MultiLing keyboard. It's feature rich and has good layouts for many languages (additional symbols on long press etc.). I prefer it over any other keyboard. Tried Smart Keyboard, Perfect Keyboard etc. - MultiLing is the best.
Try Touchpal keyboard on the Play market. It is a great award earning keyboard and is very popular on many devices as pre-installed keyboard. It provides swype input, T9 input and many other great features for all languages.
I also have a problem whith the keyboard in ICS related to language changing. As I understood in CM9 I need to hold the space and then choose the lang in popup. This way is a little bit slow for me, and I downloaded the SmartKeyboard from the Play market. It's nice and very customizeble.
