I remember a while back there was a thread asking for suggestions for a keyboard to replace Swype. I came across one that deserves a look. Tswipe is a very nice option with a ton of customizations. It can be found in the Play Store as "free" however the swipe feature is a limited trial. I have no affiliation but just thought it was worth a share because I hadn't heard of it before.

Give Keymonk a try.
It is by far the fastest of all sweep keyboards.
Hmm it Seems to be kinda weird.

But only because it was invented by a monkey.
It was bound to happen.
They have put an infinite number of monkeys in front of type writers hoping one of them will type the complete works of Shakespeare,
and one of them unexpectedly typed out the program code for Keymonk.

Best Keyboards ever (for me):
1° Touch Pal

Any of them are pretty good.

Swype popularity is only because they came out first and are free. The paid alternatives are better IMO. Slideit has a trial if you want to give it a whirl. Flex t9 was free on Amazon a while ago.

This version of Swype is much better than previous versions.
I agree, much better.

The only issue that I've run into with Swype 3 is that it doesn't seem to send the character for my login password in RDP, but, rather, the bullet (like it pre-hides the character). I don't RDP with my phone often, but it's nice to have when I need it. Also, I think saving creds in my RP shortcut will fix this problem.
I personally think swype is better than everything else right now, especially with this new update. So much better now ><
Looking for a replacement keyboard app. I currently use smart keyboard pro, its decent but looking to make a change depending on suggestions from users. Paid apps are fine, I don't mind supporting awesomeness lol.

Swiftkey X is one of the best out there. It can learn from SMS, YouTube, Facebook. You can theme it. It keeps statistics too, for what they're worth. I'd give that one a shot.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I only use smart keyboard pro. Give a few a try.
I use swiftkey x and it's awesome. Highly recommend it.
For what it's worth, I like super keyboard, the keys are the right size and I like it particularly because I can switch between and English keyboard and a Russian one, it can auto correct, you can program abbreviations which it automatically converts to the full word or words. Only complaint is the placement of the period, I tend to hit it when I hit the space bar.

I've used swiftkey x in the past and it couldn't keep up with my typing but that could have been the rom I was at the time too. I'll take a look at super keyboard and give swiftkey another shot.

If you're a fast typer go for Super Keyboard, it keeps right up with my fast fingers, good old NES button mashing paid off.
Swiftkey x was OK. I couldn't get with checking if the next predicted word was what I was going to be typing. It really didn't save me any time. I like flext9 personally. Even has a swype feature.

I found the size to be great just the; pretty factor isn't really there but thats okay with me as I am trying to keep memory consumption down...
Edit: just tried swiftkey x and was very disappointed. Uses over 40mb of ram that's more than my launcher ffs not only that I couldn't find a way to disable the auto space after punctuation which pisses me off beyond all belief. Skins looked really nice tho..... unistalled and refunded. Wouldn't recommend it. Go keyboard and ics keyboard ftw.

I'm trying out the donation version by him now. I was using the one by vllwp, which worked well. The themes are the look of the keyboard. You can change the way it looks, vllwp version looks like ics.

The predictive text on the stock keyboard it's getting annoying. Love the swype feature though. I'm torn. Which one are you guys using?
I have used the Flex T9 keyboard since I first got my Droid X and have loved it ever since. It has a swype style typing option which works just as well from my experience. Could be worth looking into.
Jelly bean. Best thing ive dled so far

Another vote for SwiftKey 3.
It was the only keyboard that actually let me leave behind the QWERTY slider from my old phone.
Another vote for swiftkey here for sure. Have had the trial for a week and absolutely love it! The predictive text is spot on 99% of the time and its smooth typing.
I'll put down another for SwiftKey 3. Honestly you can DL it right now and have it learn how you type through SMS, Facebook, and email you've already sent and instantly the predictions will be spot on. You can't go wrong with it. Worth the couple bucks.

I tried all the swype-style keyboards and then tried SwiftKey. I'll never go back.
PS: I love Hacker's Keyboard for terminal type stuff. The layout is driven more by that style of usage and there's no aut-capping, (wrong) word guessing and the like that just annoys when doing technical things.
Does the free swiftkey have ads in it? I really don't want to pay for an app with ads.
What does the paid app offer that the free one doesn't?
Yet another vote for SwiftKey, we'll worth the money. From my understanding the free version either quits learning or stops the prediction after thirty days

Anything other than the swiftkey3 is a waste of time. I predict Google or another manufacturer will buy them to include in their hardware/software. Amazon had it for free last year and that's how I got it but I would pay $10 for it if I had to. It's less than a cup of coffee on the market.

I think I paid $0.10 for it during a promotion. Amazing keyboard...I was a Swype user before but I have been converted. I love the fact that it learns from previous texts, Facebook, and gmail!
Is anyone else really excited for this app? I am an avid SwiftKey user, and this looks like the perfect combination between Swype and SwiftKey. There's a video preview online, and it looks awesome. I'm signed up for beta testing, and I'm anticipating this greatly. Does anyone know when this beta may be released to the VIP members of their forums?

I'm a Swype users, but will definitely switch if SwiftKey pulls this off well. I can't stand touch typing, but I also can't stand how dumb Swype is when it comes to learning my styles. Swype does have the Dragon speech recognition software built-in, though.

You should try SSLauncher. It allows you to create something it calls application groups that are in list form. You can have all your apps in that list or just categories, like games or office or photo apps.
It's also one of the most customizable launchers on the market. You can even have a different wallpaper on each screen!

I purchased it five minutes ago. I'm a little disappointed. I love the concept of it, but it's a little too minimalistic at the moment. There are only a few settings, and there's no real option to customize it. I guess the dev will update it a bit in the near future so it's all good, but i expected much more. Also, no lite version? Come on...
Looks good - will probably wait till it's a little bit more feature rich.
