Best free keyboard?

I was super happy with Better Keyboard on my Galaxy S but one day it automatically updated to a new version and now it will only work if I buy it. If I knew this was going to happen I would have never updated it. I even tried looking for the older version online but I could not find it.
So I was wondering what is the best FREE keyboard alternative out there? I don't use swipe but I do need the keyboard to be able to use accents (like ç, á, ô and so forth). Any suggestions?

I use thickbuttons its free..

i use gingerbread keyboard. Very good keyboard, highly customizable!

I've read that the only thing that doesn't work after the Swiftkey trial ends is the prediction? Is this right? If so I'm going to stick with it. I've just downloaded the trial and it's really great.

Swiftkey stops working after 30 days. They're sticklers about that.
If you like typing, I suggest the Gingerbread keyboard or the HTC IME that you can download from the nexus forums.
Swype is also available online. Google it.

hy. I use the HTC ime mod. today i try the swiftkey free,and the prediction of this keyboard are fantastic!
but htc ime have a key for the emotic,and use special char is easier.
there isn't a keyboard with the layeault of htc ime mod and prediction of swiftkey right?

Gingerbread keyboard is really nice.

I had Swype installed by default on my Defy and it was the first thing I installed when I got my Nexus S. I love it.

i am using "Smart Keyboard", it gives me the choice between a t9 and compact keyboard, i was using n81 before switching phone and i was not used to qwer keyboard.

Try MultiLing keyboard. It's feature rich and has good layouts for many languages (additional symbols on long press etc.). I prefer it over any other keyboard. Tried Smart Keyboard, Perfect Keyboard etc. - MultiLing is the best.

Try Touchpal keyboard on the Play market. It is a great award earning keyboard and is very popular on many devices as pre-installed keyboard. It provides swype input, T9 input and many other great features for all languages.

I also have a problem whith the keyboard in ICS related to language changing. As I understood in CM9 I need to hold the space and then choose the lang in popup. This way is a little bit slow for me, and I downloaded the SmartKeyboard from the Play market. It's nice and very customizeble.

[Q] How do I remove the emoji key from Google Keyboard 2.0

How, for the love of god do I remove the emoji keyboard symbol from the 2.0 keyboard?
Look I am not an emoji hater, I just choose to not use them.
I don't understand how Google felt they were more important that the return key, which I did use.
Can anyone help me rid my keyboard of that emoji symbol?

not sure.... but i do remember upon installing an aosp messaging app the option was there to turn off emojis. i didnt try it though. you could probably just dig up and apk of a previous stock key board that doesnt have emojis or just use some of the ones in the play store

You could just hit shift and then enter..

You have to download the old Google keyboard at :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2312179 ... Choose v1.1.1881.801980 . install it, if. It doesn't work like me, uninstall stock android keyboard(need root uninstaller) and you gonna get your old keyboard!!!!

I went to Google play store and pulled up the Emoji Keyboard app and uninstalled it!!! I was having the same problem.

I'm Dutch also and I use Google Keyboard, practically the same as AOSP but with Dutch dictionary, Swype and some extra functionality. It looks exactly the same and since Google made it it's not really third party is it? It can be found in the Playstore but I can't install it on my Moto G so I searched for the APK and installed it manually. Works like a charm. You can find it here: http://d-h.st/297 I got the link from this article on XDA so it's perfectly legit.: http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...esponds-to-take-a-picture-and-record-a-video/
You are welcome

Is there an app or safe apk I can use to get an IOS keyboard?

I have tried using gboard and samsung keyboard but it constantly misspells words and so on. I wanted to try cheetah keyboard among a couple others and they all ask for internet access which I was told to avoid. Does anyone know how to safely get an IOS keyboard on android? If not maybe a GOOD and SAFE IOS launcher. Thanks.

Try SwiftKey keyboard. And no you can't port iOS keyboard.. iOS is iOS and android is Android
