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?
Enjoy. Tried and it works.

renamed it to apk for everyone.
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.
hey not sure if this is new or not didnt see it but
http://www.droid-life.com/2010/06/24/download-multi-touch-keyboard-from-droid-x/
havent tested yet
It's pretty all right, but honestly, I prefer HTC_IME mod right now. The autocorrect options are better, it's far more customizable, and--most importantly--there's a comma on the damned keyboard for which I don't have to take any special action to use. However, once we have, say, a Multitouch_Keyboard mod, I will **** many bricks, and be pleased.
downloading now will report.
yeah by far. htc keyboard for correction and style etc... but if somehow implemented multitouch into htc. yeah thatd be great. im curious if this works on evo. havent tried
Ehh no force feedback... And why is there no dedicated comma button?

It's disabled by default, but you can turn feedback back on. I don't know if it works (I don't like it and haven't tried to use it with this keyboard), but the option is certainly there. Now, as for the comma--no clue. I'm sad about it, though.

dumb question but what is the HTC_IME mod?
Haptic feedback doesn't work even if enabled through the option. Sound works though. Although this keyboard looks nice, I still prefer the Swype keyboard more.

Google is your friend.
But it is a customized HTC keyboard that has a plethora of added features. It is IMHO one of the best tap keyboards available. I use Swype though, which is IMHO the best gesture based input system available on Android.

UM you press the period comma button twice and it gives you a comma
Dude i live thus keyboard, works awesome for me because i've been waiting for a multitouch keyboard since the iceage!

...Oh. I was wondering why it had both on there. THERE MAY BE HOPE YET.
tried it out, actually kinda crappy keyboard imo. its slower, not as good for prediction. yeah it can multitouch, but not important if its not as good. maybe if they implemented multitouch into htc
when i heard about the droid_x dump by gbhil, i grabbed it ripped this and a few other things out and tossed them in an update for my newest mod. i normally use swype, but if its going to be a regular kb i like the latin ime vanilla android kb with voice. i havent tested this one extensively, but from what i see its clean looking and fairly responsive. i just hate no longpress #'s. that killed it for me

You already posted this when someone called you out. Can't you just be normal and type in normal face or do you ALWAYS feel the need to stand out like most QUEENS and make a scene? I'm not trying to flame but...
Yes, I said what most are thinking and/or have told me.
don't know how any of you got this to work, i tried all roms and even went back to stock, it would either give me FC or just not show up..
Worked without issue for me... actually, it seemes to hav some trouble installing, but it showed up without issue after it installed for sure. Using it right now, actually. Needs better correction, predicition, and long-press for special chatacters. If I knew anything about leet hax, I would be all over combining this with HTC_IME mod right now... I'd like to keep the look and multitouch of this keyboard, obviously, and eerything else from HTC_IME mod.
/me keeps on dreaming
where can i find swype apk from?
From the beta, perhaps? Just go to their site, and it should be there.
Hi guys!
i'm not a dev, but a friend of mine is developing an android app we'll use together.. so i'm asking you guys hoping someone can help!!
we (he) has a problem implementing a gesture on our app: slide right.
i try to explain what the app should do:
in the main page the app shows a list of elements (so background with screenwide rectangular containing the elements, picture, name and small description). the idea is to slide the tab (the screenwide rectangular) right and pull it "out of the screen" just for 30% of the size.
ok ok i have to admit, i'm really really bad on explain myself
but i've found an IOS app is doing in very very smoothly, it's called Nixter (the one in the video)
my friend is saying that android don't "allow" this gesture and the only way to make it work is some workaround.. is it true?? can anyone help me (us) here?? it would be really really appreciated
i'm asking you guys because i don't want to upset my friend doubting his word..
forgot the video:

You CAN implement the same in Android too ... Android does ALLOW gestures .. I also once saw a small library that implements such a thing ... i'll update the libraries details once i remember it's name ..

Anyone having the problem with Google keyboard word prediction not working, it works in text message, but chrome it does not. I tried a different language pack, still no change. I would like to fix this so I don't have to use swype.

My phone does the same thing. Maybe Google intended it....... Works great in text and email.
Yea it doesn't work in chrome. Most annoying. Was the same in my Nexus 6 on N. Can't remember on M. I may switch out keyboards. But then emoji becomes an issue.
For a good 3 months way back when, I complained daily to Google that I did not want word prediction in a browser, any browser. I wasn't alone; there was a very strong opposition from a large population that auto-corrections made it impossible to enter unique web addresses. For example, trying to enter starbits.com changed to Starbucks.com. In addition, the period created a blank space that you'd have to backspace to remove. However, our suggestion was that word prediction not be enabled in the address bar, but should always be allowed in the text search field. Guess that's harder to execute than previously thought. I don't know why that's so difficult. One would think they just have to set the parameter 'text_word_prediction_enable' flag for the right fields. I know you don't want to use Swype; I use Minuum and it predicts words better than anything. I don't ever look at the keyboard to type. I can be 3 letters off and I can still achieve 95% accuracy. Or you can wait for Xposed to work again if you're rooted, and use the Auto Correct module.

At first, you think Minuum is on steroids, but in less than a day, you won't even need to hunt for the keys. Turn on "sloppy typing" and let it fly.

The minimal is fun for a short while but my bad eyes couldn't deal with it. I use the compact-sized full keyboard. It shifts to the right, and I can use one-handed easily.
