Can somebody please tell me how to totally disable this crippling ****. At least one could understand me if my own personal misspellings weren't transformed into words. Can we teach this phone the meaning of context clues???

Autocorrect is based on the keyboard you are using. For example, Swiftkey has amazing autocorrect and text prediction, and some keyboards don't even have autocorrect.

Smart keyboard works best for me. When ever the auto correct chg my words I just backspace and it undo the change.

Hey XDA community!
So I am new to the site as well as android (transferred from BB) and I recently rooted my G2X with the help of all the articles, instructions and postings on the site. So for that thank you all.
My first question for the community is: Which app makes for a better keyboard than Swype?
Now that am rooted and running a cleaner OS than stock I am considering doing away with swype in place of something better, faster and preferably easier. But since am new to the Android platform I don't quite know where to start and which keyboards apps are truly better.
No keyboard is faster than swype. Swiftkey is pretty interesting, 8pen is a fun novelty, and there are a few out there that add keys most don't have, but swype it's the fastest by far.
Download the beta though, it's so much better than stock.

I love Swiftkey. Not as fast as Swype but more accurate for the way I type. Personal preference

Its personal preference actually. I tried swype but didn't like the dragging finger all the time. Tapping is more what I like. But if you can get use to swype. Its the fastest. Otherwise go with smartkeyboard

Okay, all good suggestions. Ive download both smart and swype beta and will give them each a trial run and see.
Thanks for the help!
I told ya!

If you want a taping keyboard, Swiftkey X is the way to go. It's got AI scripting that predicts what word you're about to type before you even start typing it. It learns as you go too, so it gets better over time.
I love it. I use Keyboard Manager, which lets me set different keyboards based on rotation, and have swype on portrait and Swiftkey on landscape.

I understand on this phone there is three options for keyboards, android-samsung-swype, the Samsung and swype have a feature in the settings to view and edit your custom word dictionary that you have created, I personally use the android keyboard so I lack that option or does someone know how I can access the word dictionary?

Why don't you get the ICS keyboard from the Market? There's two versions, one free & one paid. They're both pretty good. You can access the dictionary in the paid version for sure... can't remember if you can in the free one.

But if when texting it gives you the option to save a new word there has to be a accessible dictionary

I've downloaded swype but restored it through tb. But I can't switch to it. How do I access the switch input?
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
If you want swype then go to settings>keyboard>choose HTC input then check the trace type. Congratulations now you have swype
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
I prefer Swype over trace myself it should be setting/keyboards it has an on/off button after you choose on tap on Swype and set it as default of you don't see these options reinstall

Cool, but to be honest I have used swype on a Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 and I use trace on my HTC one s and I don't see or notice any differences.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
It's cool I used them both also I just prefer Swype I agree there not much if any difference I am using themed version in my Gnex on the One S using Swype beta

on gingerbread I could hold down on any text field and an input method would appear. Trace I very inaccurate. It's not as intuitive as Swype. And it looks ugly. I had you reinstall it. Thanks people.

Hey guys, just wanted to ask if anyone else has this problem, my phone crashes when I type the words "you" and "side" without using Swype.. It will freeze and I have to hold down the power button to get it to exit the app (usually messaging or Web). Anyone else have this problem and know a fix?

I have never had any problems with any keyboard. I use the ics keyboard, and swype for when I need to type in Spanish or English if I'm driving not that I ever text n drive lol

Do you mean the Samsung keyboard.

Swiftkey 3 ftw
No the Swype keyboard. I was using the Samsung Keyboard yesterday because I got tired of Swype crashing but I rest my Swype dictionary this morning and it looks like it's not crashing anymore so I guess that fixed it.
