Hi all
I use 4.04 ICS DDLP5, v6 100% applied (and overclocked to 1.6Ghz)
I tried samsung keyboard, google keyboard and Swype keyboard,
but it seems that there's definitely some delay or lagging whenever I type fast, I can even hear and feel the tap/haptic delayed which I feel like some aggregated combo being tapped!
Any commends? anyone having similar issue or solutions?
I tried to turn off the XT9, but only improves a bit, I still notice the lag, just not as smooth as my old iphone 3gs..
and I also want some of the XT9 feature turned on as they are useful.
This problem is so much noticeable when I use the stock browser's URL textbox to do some search, as it tries to pre-guess words and show urls in advance..
Maybe there's some hacked solution to better utilize/prioritize the cpu and memory for this app?
btw, when I used CM9/CM10's jellybean ROM and used the their stock keyboard, it was much smoother, but it didin't have the korean keyboard included...
Many thanks
Have you gone through the Swype tutorial to see how to use it properly? If you are tapping away on it you are using it incorrectly. Using it in Swype mode it is the fastest keyboard out there bar none.

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.

So I was wondering if anyone has been able to load the Android Keyboard (AOSP?) on their phone running GB. I like this keyboard for a number of reasons, but mainly the fact that it auto-corrects some words automatically that the multi-touch keyboard does not for some reason.
For example:
- If I type im, it auto corrects it to I'm.
- If I type wer, it auto corrects it to we're.
- If I type il, it auto corrects it to I'll.
I know most of you think this might be a bit silly, but I got used to this keyboard and typing this way before GB, and believe it or not these little shortcuts allow you to type/text a lot faster on the phone.
Last night I flashed my phone from CM4DX back to Official GB, and I tried flashing the keyboard being used with CM7 (Android Keyboard) but it won't work on GB. Not only does it not work, but I have now lost the Multi Touch keyboard and I can't seem to get it back unless I do a factory reset. I'm currently using Swiftkey X, but I still don't like it as much as the original Android Keyboard.
If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

This is the Gingerbread keyboard in an apk. You can install it along side your current system keyboard.

I really like to use Thumb Keyboard on the TF but I am surprised that the auto correction features do not work in a number of apps. Examples are Dolphin Pad (e.g. in a text box on a website) and Google Plus. I reinstalled Thumb Keyboard just to make sure that my ROM changes did not cause this issue.
I guess one question I have is: Are the auto correct features linked to apps and are not an intrinsic feature of the keyboard?
In addition to that, the keyboard is laggy often, mainly when using it in a browser (stock browser is the worst).
Thanks!
I don't exeperience lag with this keyboard at all! It used to be terrible, but I started using Opera and I am not sure if that is the reason...I also went into the debug setting of the stock browser and disabled a few extras I really don't need.(but I'm positive those only effect the stock browser

Is it just my phone or does everyone elses stock keyboard suck. I literally just reset my phone and typing in the google user info on the phone setup was the most painful thing i have ever done in my life. Then when i go and load the JB stock keyboard, the phone freaks out and their is constantly a notification in my status bar asking what input method I want to use. I CLEARLY PICK THE JB KEYBOARD, LEAVE ME ALONE!
Sorry, it just fills me with anger that someone would give the go ahead to release this to the public.
I don't too many people who use stock keyboard, there's a million better options.
Yea the Samsung keyboard lags ridiculously, I use the android 4.2 keyboard. works great, and can fly txting with the swiping actions.
I use PERFECT KEYBOARD. Free in the Play Store. Works flawlessly and looks professional. Of course you'll have to go into settings>language & input>change the default keyboard to Perfect Keyboard.
The lag comes from their predictive text. Go into the settings and and turn it off and you will see ZERO LAG. Or... download another keyboard such as swiftkey (which is AWESOME!!)

Mike is right. SwiftKey is a awesome keyboard. Zero lag and the prediction is great. Probably the best keyboard out there. I paid for the app awhile back and it was well worth it. I used it on my Rezound cause of the keyboard lag and now on my s3. You'll love it.

Yes go with Android as Andy says or as I prefer Swiftkey. The keys are big enough for me to hit. There is new straight beta and Flow beta. Sign up for VIP and they email you all beta APK's.
Thanks for the advice everyone. I ended up loading AOSP 4.2.1 so its not an issue anymore. I had loaded the JB 4.2 keyboard several times and would pick it in the settings menu, but the Touchwiz roms didnt like when i didnt use their keyboard so it would constantly ask if i wanted to use a different keyboard
Hi Guys,
My second post today.
I am using GBoard but noticed 2 pesky bugs: 1. When typing long messages, for example, in this forum, the keyboard stuck for a minute. Completely stuck and then goes back to normal 2. The correction suggestion is not good at all, sometimes I type a wrong word and it suggests the same wrong word in the correction suggestions which is confusing as it should only display the correct one.
Have any of you experience this?
Also, is there a decent alternative to GBoard? I was always using Samsung's own keyboard but it is not good in HK version so had to switch to GBoard.
I use Swiftkey beta

Yes, sometimes I can't see what I'am typing. It is seems like bug or something but somebody said it is maybe connection with the high refrest rate.
I've used virtually the same Samsung keyboard for 6 years.
Find it very distracting to try to migrate even the colors/shades let alone layout.
I use Samsung themes that support that keyboard look I like.
I also "shop" themes for the theme I like for the phone and texting. Everything else I custom load after those ie icon pack and wallpaper.
Google apps run good, then Google improves them, then Google ruins them.
It's Google's nature.
I have zero faith in Google; Google taught me this time and time again.

I can recommend SwiftKey, works perfectly and we even get a custom Samsung theme only made for us.
I'm using Samsung′s one because it's the only one that supports Your Phone. Plus with keys café it's fully customizable, especially the layout.
SwiftKey, I recommend it every time. If there's a word that is incorrect you can simply long it and remove it from the prediction list.
Customize it to your liking.
My go to customizations: long-press duration mine set to 171
Vibration 2ms, sound off, choode one or create your own theme, size and location, cursor control
Thanks a lot, everyone! Very helpful!
I installed Swiftkey but didn't like it.
After searching play store I ended up installing Yandex Keyboard that looks very much like Samsung Keyboard. Like it so far.
I liked the Gboard Keyboard. It supports local langauage typing as well as one can use the spen to wrtie in local langauage.
Also the Voice support is good.
Still using Swype here. Love it and restore onto every phone using titanium backup.

Me too ;-)
Tried now a couple of weeks Swiftkey, but the recognition rate for "swyping" is still significantly better on Swype. Swiftkey is driving me crazy some times.
