Best Keyboards, Pics Please

Can someone post what they think is the best keyboard? And post a screenshot of it? I need to do something about the stock one.

My favorite so far is the Droid X multitouch keyboard

+1 I love swype~!
I do have an issue with it tho, it won't save any new words to my dictionary...I press space and even hit the swype key like it said but still no dice.

If you type/swype a word that isn't in the dictionary you need to delete the word it suggests and then type out the word you want and press space. I've added a few curse word lol

I do, I even manually type it in and it still won't save.
I had to go to the dictionary and add some words manually.

Glad its beta hopefully the full version will auto add words even if you gotta type them out every once in a while it is still way faster
And more fun

Oh I agree, the keyboard is awesome...Don't think I could ever go back to a regular one now~!

Finally tried out Swype, and yeah it's fun. I was loving the Droid X keyboard but not sure I'll ever stop using Swype..

Yes, I was wondering about this as well. I know that some keyboards have the option to export/import saved words. I like to use Swype, however, I find myself in situations where I wipe my phone a lot in order to try new Roms.
Is there a way to export/import or perhaps add a dictionary file?

i dont see how yall use swype. its too much work. swyping all over the keyboard for simple words, and requires too much attention for long words. i can type on a regular keyboard without looking at it

And if you really don't like any keyboard for the phone you can always get a bluetooth one for the phone instead

it's all personal preference though

I agree, it's a learning curve to using swype but once you got it...it's awesome~!
Play with the speed/typo setting a little to get it where you like it and I rarely have to look at the keyboard too hard to get it going.
If I could figure out why my words won't save to the dictionary I would be happy!
Great Great keyboard

I am liking Swiftkey. Fast and predicts your next words. Pretty cool.

Oh and I wanted to post a few screenshot for those wondering how it looks like...
(The keyboard pictured below is Thumb Keyboard with the WP7 theme)

Agree with the rest of the responses, It looks like an awesome app. There's work to be done but overall its really good.
I saw a couple of bugs and would love it to have options. So if you ever have some spare time to work on it, I'm sure many of us would really appreciate updates to this app. If not, thanks for this anyways
Hope to see feature apps by you.

I love this app even in its current state. The best messaging client out yet.
Please keep working on it.

wow... beautiful...
and I think fixed width purple in messaging will makes it perfect...I'm sure about it
what do you think?
I hope you give some update soon...I'll wait

Thanks for feedback, new updates will come soon
Hi All,
Thanks all for your feedback.....
New updates will be there on market.
I will mimic complete WP7 experience with this app, even i would like to see how it will look like on Android.
Trying to implement Voice Actions just like WP7 messaging has in my another app POPUP 7.
Once it is done will try to implement same here also.
One with ads and one without ads versions will be soon on market.

Swype Beta

I'm really liking the new Swype beta. (Only played with it for about 15 minutes so far)
Smaller keyboard, nice predictive text.
I loved swype on my Galaxy S, and was using it on the Note, but it took up too much of the screen.
I switched the Swiftkey beta, which was not quite as fast for me to enter text, but allowed me to see more of the screen when I set the keyboard size to small.
The new Swype beta keyboard is only slightly bigger than the Swiftkey beta, but I can enter text a lot faster with Swype, so I think I'll be using it as my main keyboard from now.

I just downloaded it for paranoidandroid and it works fine, i needed to.redownload the Swype beta installer apk because the one i installed earlier was failing after entering username and password.
I went back to the Swype site downloaded the installer again and then it successfully installed the new Swype.

Also downloaded Swype Beta today (My dark swype was tiny on Paranoid).
Can't get the keyboard the right size though grrrrr! frustrating swype's the best keyboard out there.

Yep, same thing for me, using 213 for system dpi, and 213 for swype, it fits the screen, and looks like it's right, but the keys are about half the size of the older swype I have on there. changing the dpi scales the keys off the side of the screen. phone/tablet in paranoid settings doesn't seem to have an affect either.

This is how i have it on mine, it's pretty small but i don't mind this size so i haven't looked into adjusting dpi for it. Seeing that doesn't work for you guys it won't work anyway.
The keys could get stretched to be taller but you can't make them any wider for the same qwerty keyboard layout. I prefer to have more screen area for text rather then have the keyboard fill half or a third of the screen. I use 182dpi so i like this a little smaller then many others i assume.
It would be a cool feature if you were able to stretch a keyboard like a widget on a home screen rather then using dpi to adjust size.

I am finding the Swype Beta to be much improved.
However, don't try and download it on Google Chrome - you have to use the stock Android browser. Wierd. You get a small useless .bin file if you do.
Worked fine on the stock browser, which I never use. Never had this problem with any other website.

Not sure if there was a typo in your post, but mine is 1.0.3.5809.

when I switched from one handed Samsung keyboard the swype got smaller
but after a while it's scretched by itself. Dunno what triggered it. I had to switch to Samsung one handed keyboard to swype again to have it become small again
I actually like this one handed swype wannabe and am wondering if anyone can hack or edit it so it stays that way

[APP][4.0.3+] Jelly Bean Keyboard port - Beta 1.2 (Update July 16)

Update (Beta 1.2): added basic themes, added Dutch dictionary (dictionaries will be available for download soon)
I decided to pull it from the google play store soon and to make the download available here. Concerning the port I now have enough feedback sent to me through the developer console, so it won't be necessary anymore to make it available at this moment through the Play Store. I appreciate feedback in this thread.

The major improvement is the prediction engine. The Jellybean Keyboard will do full word prediction. See for example the picture: "cream" is suggested after typing "ice" . Also it will add spaces in case one forgetsoneortwo
BTW I've added a dropbox link to download the apk. The link will stay active until the google play store page is visible.

Can you just upload the apk? Link isn't active yet.

Installed through Play Store.
My notes after a few minutes of use:
1. Prediction doesn't work when typing in the URL or on Google
2. Prediction works when composing with Gmail, Messaging etc.
3. Prediction and Auto-spacing work A LOT better when the setting is at Very Aggressive versus Moderate

Downloaded on my Wildfire S running CM9, and I can't get it to work. I have it checked in settings, but when I go into SMS, and attempt to type with it after changing the input method, the keyboard does not pop up. Help?

Very cool, and u can make up a sentence with the predictions.. but it let me save a new word

Working perfectly
From apple to android I've been there

Awesome job so far. I freaking love this keyboard. Please keep updating. No problems so far. Love the progressive voice typing. No sending to a server bull crap.

Autocorrect works like magic on both ATT HOX & T-mobile sensation 4G. Was hoping for offline dictation, but it's still using servers
@mmanjj how do you get offline dictation to work? If i set my phone to airplane mode, it says it can't connect to servers.

• Cropping similar to Super Keyboard would be nice, as my background image gets a bit stretched.
• More transparency for keys would be fancy.
• Annnd last but not least when I'm typing in my email, the keyboard freaks out and makes a bunch of random words.
Hope to see these issues addressed, I'm in need of a better keyboard and I see great potential here, you just may have a future buyer!

I'm having problems with smiley key. I Camry reach the right side of the box no matter what... I would like to see something like SlideIT have. Just tap and choose smiley instead of tap, hold and swipe for it... Next thing that would be great is option to disable accented letters (60 character sms problem).

I meant when I use a custom image, the cropping won't let me fit my full image in the keyboard or it gets stretched a bit, but when I use the same kind of function on "Super Keyboard Pro", the cropping and custom image work much better.
Hope that made sense.

This is great. 5 start for you mate..

Sems like the SWYPE input doesn't work on Galaxy Ace, any chance to fix it?

Not bad, not bad
Hi, warm welcome for this new one...
I am strongly testing it against Swype...... that is (was?) my winner, it eats a lot of memory I guess....
A few marks:
- the secondary functions of a key (eg. "?") are not hardly visible, with some themes they are almost not even visible
- I use special chars (áéöü etc.) and I have to get used to getting back to é being just e, so not right next to L and so on
Really this much for now...
what I will focus on: (compared to my experience with swype)
- how it learns
- how much memory it eats up
Keep the good work up and Happy Holidays
:good:

Nice. Loving it already. Swiping working on my Samsung Galaxy SL.
Swift key lags after learning lot of words in my opinion. Let's see how this fares.

i like it, the only missing thing, is the swipe on with space (without needing to release the touch) like swiftkey flow beta.

Can someone tell my why the Kii keyboard is closing after i type the first letter?
Language: German
Smartphone:Atrix 4G
Android: 2.3.6
edit : its caused because of the gesture mode. If disabled it works flawless.

Testing right now. It's pretty smooth. Maybe swiping feels a bit slow. And keyboard hides automatically randomly.
