Previously to JB I had a JB-backported keyboard that offered a split-mode.
Now with the "real" JB keyboard I seem to be not able to find that split-mode.
Does it exist?
Grab SwiftKey tablet edition. Much better than stock.

I use Thumb Keyboard.
Sorry but that is not the question, I know how to install other keyboards...

More than likely you did not have a backported JB keyboard that was split. I have never seen that before. Can you tell us which ROM it was on or any other details? I have a feeling the ROM you were using had Thumb Keyboard or Swiftkey Free baked in with a JB theme.
I also use Thumb Keyboard and its been worth every dime I spent.

Anybody has it and tried it on gb tab?
I prefer gb keyboard over the samsung keyboard, so hopefully someone has already tried it.

Use to use it exclusively even on 2.2. I have since moved on to Thumb Keyboard and haven't looked back

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 agree. Nothing comes close to it.with tablets.

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 ;-).
Im using touchpal keyboard and for me this is the best keyboard for my note, im using polish dictionary, and dictionary in other keyboards are not so good. Keyboard is available in AM for free! Im using leather skin.
So witch keyboard is ur favorite? Post photo.

I'm using the Swiftkey X Keyboard and sometimes the SlideIT Keyboard.
I love both keyboards and i couldnt get a decision which is better.
Try it!
Thumb and a.I. keyboard

I use Swype but have tried all the above mentioned on smaller screens...still can't make up my mind which is better though...
Keep switching between swift key and thumb keyboard myself. Slide it is also really nice.

Swype is great after mastering the short learning curve!
SlideIT is the best for me
Patos via tapatalk.
For people like me that often write in more than one languange (English and Spanish for example) SwiftKey Tablet X (or Swiftkey X) is simply the best keyboard for any device because you don't have to keep switching languages while you type, it auto detects and corrects on any language (up to three) at the same time!
I did read that there are not many themes and for Spanish are some issues with ñ character, any comments?
Both really stop my buy.

Is it possible with Swiftkey to use it only with particular apps? The default one to stay as primery and to use Swiftkey only with specific apps?

I installed touchpal, and seems like it is not scaled properly, i.e., the keys are sided to the left, instead of taking up all the horizontal span, can you tell me how to make it take up all the space? Plus, it also seems when pressing on a word that wasn't in the dictionary doesn't bring up the option to save it, can you point me to the solution(s)? Thanks ps: I'm using ics build from the chinese leak...

You can use any keyboard you have installed. Touch and hold anywhere in the writing area and choose your preferred input method. It will remain until you change it again in the same way.
Im using kingdroid rom and the keyboard came with the rom, try to swap rom...

I'm using imilka's AOSP rom, and I have the same problem with TouchPal. But I have to mention that I have the tablet interface and I changed the display density. And I'm guessing that's causing the problem! So I was wondering if you've changed the display density too? I really like TouchPal but I can't use it with the keys sided to the left!

Hi this is my first time using ICS and I am finding it hard to get used to the keyboard.
I was wondering what keyboard everyone uses/recommends on their One S

I use stock. I'm coming from the Glacier so its been difficult getting used to the larger screen. But the swipe function in stock helps a great deal.

Hey,
I'm using now SwiftKey 3 ... before it was released I'd prefered Smart Keyboard Pro ... because I cannont handle Keyboards without a little bit of space between the buttons.
regards,
mmry
Thanks I will have a look and try those, I dont see the point of some of the keys like the arrows at the bottom it just seems too crowded for me
It's a toss up between the new swift keyboard and slideit for me... Also Used A. I. Keyboard with no problems, but for sure tons of options
STOCK AOSP ICS keyboard is the best! Get it in the market if you are using sense rom.

What keyboard do you like the best? Post a screen shot of it Please!

Gingerbread 2.3 i think its called. Much better then stock Samsung. Hate how that either has auto complete or if you turn it off then you can't select a word from the list.
SwiftKey 3, easily the best unless you like to Swype.
swiftkey 3 is best imo
A.I.Type keyboard. BEST hands down IMO
I love the jelly bean keyboard. Fast and free .. Do a search on the market.
its gotta be swiftkey for me. so much customization a great keyboard and easily the best prediction software out there. takes up like 17 megabytes of ram but the s3 handles that fine. swiftkey ftw imo

I was beginning to think I was the only one that hated the Samsung one. I like the plain old stock keyboard. Whatever was on my Bionic with the leaked ICS was a great keyboard as well.
Swype Beta, so much better than the stock keyboard.

I like the SmartKeyboard PRO ! it has hundred themes that can be used and nice dictionary for every language
Depends on what I'm doing. For longer thoughts and messages like this, I use Swype Beta since its by far the fastest form of typing on a mobile phone, but for other things like web browsing, I the use jelly bean keyboard. It's easier to type passwords and URL's.

Having always had hardware keyboards it never occurred to me that I could install a different one. Trying swiftkey now and it is several orders of magnitude better than stock samsung.
I'd be willing to bet any aftermarket keyboard is better than stock.

I've tried SwiftKey 3, Smart Keyboard and a few others and strongly prefer SwiftKey
The options it has are nice and it's very fast and responsive while still offering an auto correct that learns your typing

Best Keyboard to Me...
I feel the best keyboard is between the Go Keyboard or Thumb Keyboard.
Currently the new Thumb Keyboard is my favorite, I can't find any drawbacks except not able to use swipe.
The new Thumb Keyboard uses the new text as you talk feature that is embedded with ICS.
It just works so good and if you pay for it, you will see that it works very nicely with ICS.
Furthermore, it has clean looks and customization based off how big your fingers are and how you prefer to type.
Go Keyboard is nice because you can use swipe as well as a voice input option that works pretty good. (the main drawback is that it sometimes is glitchy when using google products and the adds if you haven't paid for the app)
Another vote for SwiftKey 3 here. It's been my standard for a long time now.
SwiftKey hands down.

hi guys,
is there a keyboard apk that has numbers on the first row where you dont have to "long press" it anymore?
same as the samsung keyboard.
Pretty sure Kii has this feature and many more besides https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zl.inputmethod.latin
thanks magnafunk... but the app needs to be upgraded to premium so that i can use the feature without resetting every hour.

After reading this post I thought I would give this keyboard a try. Really like it. The auto correct seems very good, ability to have number keys above, swipe typing, can change key size. Was a bit expensive for a keyboard, but worth it in my opinion.

SwiftKey allows you to change the long-press time. I have mine at 120 ms and it's bloody quick.

The hacker's keyboard is a good alternative, especially as it also has ctrl/alt/f keys and its full keyboard mode is very useful in landscape
