Hey guys finally someone has gotten smart enough to make the first multi touch keyboard. It's called Smart Keyboard in the market and its free. It's still in beta and is very buggy and ugly. They keyboard is going in the right direction, maybe someone can build on it and perfect it? Thanks.
Care to share some pictures??

You can see the screenshots in the market. And it doesn't look THAT bad. Basically a white version of the stock keyboard.
Multi-touch seems to help my typing a lot. Even without the auto-correction (which is supposedly going to be added in the Pro version later on), I can type almost perfectly, compared to the many mistakes I make with the stock keyboard.

I agree its definitely a step better than the stock keyboard. One problem is that it doesn't show the letter when you hit it, it's just blank. Cant wait for a pro version or for someone to make a more improved app.
very nice keyboard indeed. the vibrate option doesnt work on my n1. its also missing the voice input but istill like it because it implements multitouch correctly unlike the stupid stock kboard
So I just downloaded app and selected it from language & keyboard settings but I still end up with the stock KB. Any ideas on how to switch it?

Hold down on a text box and it should say "Input method". Click that and should display the keyboards you have installed/enabled.

Alright fixed the problem thx!
Still needs quite a bit of work. All in all, it sort of reminded me..why exactly do we need a multi-touch keyboard now? Sure ive used the iphone keyboard....but it doesnt make a world of difference if the OS isnt built around the function.
fantastic find. using it to write this response and this is an amazing fix for me. not sure if it is the multitouch or not, but either way i like it
pretty good missing some features but i feel a bit more accurate with it.
Not bad! This has a lot of potential...
ill run it again once the bugs/fixes are worked out

vibrate works fine - just very faint.. it's a light pulse rather than a strong/long vibrate.

You can tell its multi touch if say you hold down the A key and then press the J key it will type the A then the J right after it.
Wish they could add holding Q for number 1 etc like the HTC one!
Only thing I really want.

That's what I was thinking..voice support and corrections/predictions and this is gonna be hawt =)
Lot of raw potential
anysoftkeyboard is pretty good too. much better then stock and lots of options. also was recently updated.
No auto-correction?
Cant seem to get this app to work on a 2.1 rom. part of an alpha tester group. Anyone want to give it a try

Working great for me on 2.1 Darch Legend V.5.
You need to install the .apk, then go into settings >> keyboard >> enable swiftkey
Next you need to go into swiftkey settings and download a language pack.
After all that, long press on a text entry box and select SwiftText.
So far it is pretty great at predicting what I am about to type in 2 letters or so. I love Swype..but I am willing to give this a try for awhile.

I have not had any problems using it on DamageRegaw ROM. I think I downloaded straight to phone from the email link I received and then just installed using ES file explorer.
I hope that helps. Word prediction on this keyboard is interesting.

Look in settings >> language and keyboard >> and then under the sub-heading "Text Settings" there is a selection box next to the name "Swift Key". This is the same menu that you get into the Swift Key settings at (the check box is not within the Swift Key settings).

thats just it there is no box to enable it. nor is there one for the stock android one or the htc keyboard. they are all lined up but no enable. tried to reset after i installed and phone locked up so dont think it will work on dc v2 or maybe its just the damagetrev im running which is a faster version of dc v2
Eh, its better then stock, but once you try swype, its hard to type with anything else. If only swype had the voice thing like stock android, that would be awesome
OMFG!!! that looks awesome. so here's the question, if i want it how hard is it to try and then if i don't like it how hard to get rid of it?

I'm faster with Swype than a physical keyboard. I have installed it for two G1 owners recently after they got a hold of my phone.
No problems with darchlegendv5 I tested by just pushing space and if typed this " up to the business of Parity shall be liable for the use of the individual or entity to which it is a bit of a man they are trying to trace in connection with the word. I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person." Exactly what I wanted to type. Crazy smart keyboard, but I think it's pretty nice thus far just a little slow.

this looks interesting too though...is it like normal but predicts?

Screenies for ya
Where did this come from? Interesting....
From the DroidX
How is it compared to Smart Keyboard Pro or Better Keyboard?
my two requests for it are for someone to fig out how it to use the stock dictionary and get vibrate to work! then this would be best keyboard ever.
What is the major benefit to a multi-touch keyboard? Can it actually keep up with my crazy quick typing now?
Would be perfect with working haptic feedback.
yup that is all it needs.
personally, i don't like the haptic feedback....multi touch will be awesome however
It already is multi touch.

some of the option text and ampersand seems to be in html encoded form. After you write and highlite a previous word sometimes it shows suggestions. That's my thoughts for the time being, any other apks op?

i know this..i'm saying it will be awesome once installed !
I have to be rooted to install this, correct?
ugh, it still does the smart keyboard pro thing where it won't register the first letter if you release it at the same time as the next key is pressed.. anybody else know what i mean?
Agree with the dictionary suggestion.. not crazy about the size of the letters or the combo. /, button next to the space bar. I'll try it out for a bit and see how it goes. Seems pretty good otherwise and multitouch works as it should. Thanks op for posting this.
hi
I have the jelly bean update already for a while and using snote again.
I wanted to use handwriting, but the samsung keyboard crashes instantly.
even after reboot or restartn of the app.
in the input settings it gives me a option of google and samsung keyboard whereas samsung is ticked and I cant untick it.
anybody has a idea on this???
thx
You cannot untick it as that is more of an option to give you options of what keyboard to select there is no google keyboard its voice.
Are you rooted because yours is a very stage problem
Try this go to application Manager - All Apps - Samsung Keyboard and select clear data see if that works
After doing the above, if you can get into settings, there should also be updates for the languages. Try updating your language choice.
There are two seperate language settings - one for the typing keyboard and one for handwriting. Go in to Settings>Language and input>Samsung keyboard settings>Handwriting>Input languages and make sure the language you're using is set properly and accept an update if it's offered.
Hi @ all
my language Was set for German And English
the reset helped
thanks to you all
May be it is because of that not sure Barry may be able to tell for certain but did you try keep both the languages same because theoraticaly it should not work with two different languages
Um... can I use handwriting to type on it? I have the N8013 and I can't tick or select "handwriting" in the Language and Inputs. There is no text box. I tried to see if I could write in the "split keyboard" layout. If this is not where you do it, can you please assist me? Can it only be done in the S Note app?

That's how I found out there were two seperate handwriting language settings. When I updated to the BTU JB ROM I lost all ability to use handwriting; the option (shown below) wasn't offered. For some reason no language was set in the handwriting settings. When I selected U.S. English it actually had to be downloaded. It was fine after that and the option reappeared.
Mine looks different. Samsung Keyboard. N8013

Iam using swiftkey keyboard on my Note 1 N7000 and love the arrows feautre to move between words to correct or change words, this feature is not available for swiftkey keyboard tablet version,or the stock keybord, any other recommendations?
I admit this is a major failing for Swiftkey keyboard, which is otherwise a cracking keyboard.
Thumb keyboard has multiple layouts for tablets and also includes arrow keys.
will look at it, do you use it? how is it compared with swiftkey?
Edit
ooops, does not support my native language (Arabic):crying:
Have you tried Hacker's Keyboard in the Play Store. I think it is one of the best layouts available.

Just another tip (especially for those needing some greek letters for math symbols, i.e. α, β, γ, δ, ε, θ, λ, μ, π, ρ, φ, ψ, ω, Γ, Π, Σ, Φ, Ψ, Ω....)
You may ask yourself (as I did): "How can I insert all those symbols if there's no "sym" button?"
Simple answer: in the "Settings" - "Input languages" select "Eλληνικά [el]" (Greek) as an additional input language. After that, with a quick slide on the spacebar, you'll have all those Greek letters in the Greek keyboard layout.
Other examples of symbols that can be typed with the "Hacker's keyboard" are:
≤, ≥, ≈, √, ā, ∞ (x±y)²=x²+y²±2x•y
And, if you use the the Circle key another plenty of exotic symbols can be added, such as
♥ ⓚ a₁ ⅘2ⁿ...
(see this and this links)
It would be much simpler by using the traditional ALT+CharCode combination for the Ascii characters, but I didn't find a way to use that method (the Alt key seems not to combine with the character numeric code).

Have you tried enabling the "Sliding key events" in the options? I've tried and it seems it doesn't actually work to be used as a swipe feature. But I'm no "swipe" expert so I can't be sure....

I choosed the recommended settings: Ignore keys during sliding movement, and dose not do any thing
tried all other settings and no swipe

I am using swiftkey phone edition on my tablet and it has both swipe and arrows. (i did not see a reason why i had to buy a different version for my tablet and I'm glad I didn't).

Take a look at Kii. Got it today after seeing this thread and doing a bit of looking. Liking it so far. Arrows, numerics, special characters with long press and several templates.

Another great keyboard is Ultra keyboard. One time it was very famous. I have been using it for a few years now.
