I've noticed that many keyboards either:
- take up most of the space on screen
- use up too much space on internal memory
- lag while typing
I use Hacker's Keyboard because it's basic, resizeable and light. Previously, I used TouchPal, but that took up too much storage space. In your opinion, what is the best keyboard for Samsung Galaxy Fit?
Default Samsung Keyboard
smart keyboard pro
use smart keyboard pro.............its just of 2 MB and consumes very less RAM.............i'm using it for more than 2 years...........its the best keyboard till now i have ever used:laugh:

I don't know what device i should buy... Touch Pro oder Xperia? Which device is really better ??
They both suck, get a Nokia Ringo.
If I was you, would have gone for a Xperia.
I thnk it comes down to whether you want to customize it and how much. If you want to use it out of the box, the Sony seems slightly better with its 9 panel display. The Touch has more innovative and finger-friendly apps, it seems to me, and is a better choice for those who want to skin it.
Myself, I feel that with the advances in software keyboards PCM Keyboard, SPB keyboard, Resco Keyboard, etc.) the inclusion of a hardware keyboard on a phone add unnecessary bulk and power drain to the device, so I'd be disinclined to go with either on that basis alone.
Personally i like the pro. it has the accelerometer and was built from the ground up by htc.
it's a matter of opinion though so here is some stuff to get you started:

xperia is by htc, same exact heart of touchpro
differences:
xperia
- 800x480 recessed screen (but still comfortable for me)
- no tv out
- no accelerometer
- bigger battery
- stylish
touchpro
- 640x480 not recessed screen
- tv out
- accelerometer
- tiny battery
- looks like a "little brick"
I have xperia, black, and I simply LOVE it

Hey.
I've been doing some odd work for a lower memory 7" tablet (256MB).
All it has so far is a stock android kbd, but Im wanting more (mainly because the port was horrible -- word predictions do not work, and its buggy at best).
I've tried quite a few different free kbds, but most sit over 20Mb -- 20Mb which I cant spare (since this device has about 60Mb of RAM available on a fresh install of my ROM).
So far the best kbd I've found is tap n tap, but thats still a little hefty in the RAM dept.
I don't need glam or shiny, just a regular kbd that is functional, working, low on memory/resources, and possibly designed for a tablet (although not necessary.).
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!!
Have u tried ultra Kb, or smart Kb?

Keep in mind, I will be wanting a FREE kbd, as I will be incorporating it into my public ROM
What about Multiling Keyboard by Honso, it even has small apk file size.
i had a similiar issue and found those two
Simple Large Button Keyboard
- no permissions required*
- only 45kb size !!
- only 6,2 mb ram consumption on Android 4.0
Big Buttons Standard Keyboard
- no permissions required*
- only 135kb size
Other apps require more RAM, multicore, permissions and space (plus they come with ads and want your money). Some of them even rely on the integrated AOSP keyboard so you wont be able to disable this system app.
Mind: The integrated Android AOSP Keyboard (not Google Keyboard!) also has very low memory footprint (4,2 mb ram on Android 4.2 with all input "features" [like spelling corrections, etc. ] deactivated in settings) *BUT* is a pretty low performer with single cores and <= 1GHz. Therefore i prefer "Simple Large Button Keyboard" over the competitors for a low ressource/max effeciency scenario.
(*the privacy risk of keyboard sniffing is much lower without granted internet permissions)
I am thinking about buying the Note 10.1, but I will want to put a custom rom (CM), I am afraid that S-Pen will not work (which is mainly why I am thinking of buying the tablet).
Does S-Pen work (or expected to work, based on Note Phones experience) with custom roms? (In particular, with Non-touchwizd roms)
Is S-Pen (and palm rejection) only compatible with Samsung programs?
Thank you
S-Pen works fine on the AOKP rom - RR rom... It works on all apps, though some are designed for it. You can use handwriting as a default on the stock samsung keyboard, it just turns it to normal text in most writing programs... S-notes, 7notes and a few others allow you to write freehand and don't change it to text... They allow you to write a note in your own handwriting.
The s-pen has an "s-pen" API that Samsung has open sourced, but is not a part of the android stack. There are noticeable differences in how Photoshop reads the pen on cm10 vs Samsung branded 4.0.4. If the s-pen api were to be integrated into our cm10, it should fix all these problems. I found it worth reverting to stock as how Photoshop has updated to include responsiveness that the s-pen API affords. (Jumping between pressure levels that I know I can render with a pencil) basically android's wacom driver isn't as sophisticated as Samsung's s-pen API. I'm guessing here is where the problem is, but it's a noticeable difference, or I wouldn't mention it.
That said, don't let cm10 determine whether you get this thing or not. I'm pleasantly surprised at how subdued touchwiz has become, though I use apex launcher (which doesn't stop multi window, pop out windows, etc)

I am looking for the best keyboard, this swiftkey is problematic in terms of height and size when changing the DPI to small numbers, and its also a little slow when in 4k mode, is there a cooler smoother keyboard and simple
What about using Gboard ?

android 10 seems to be in testing by samsung for our Tab S6 LTE (T865)
http://fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/DBT/SM-T865/version.test.xml
I read, it should be out in next spring ... .
m.
I hope earlier... Maybe some beta one ui 2. Tab s6 is only newest snapdragon Samsung which is not updated yet
... I hope so too but as you know hope dies last
m.
Chances are so slim, of course
Good to know thank you. I'm still pretty happy with android 9. I received android 10 on my note 10 plus and honestly it's not a big jump for me.

Well, the S10 series got it 2-3 months earlier than the roadmap, the S9/Note9 is getting it now, instead of the projected April 2020 release, so one would guess Samsung will also release it for the S6 earlier as well. Given how it's the current flagship tablet and all.
I think, earliest possible is March

I also already have 10 on my pixel 3xl and to be honest I just turn on night mode on my S6 and it feels the same.
The only feature I really looked forward to was dark mode.
I'm hoping for a better DeX mode. Current works, but some apps are iffy, and some functionality is missing:
- always on top windows
- a more organised apps screen
- Improved taskbar with less clutter (gesture navigation should help with that)
- resizable handwriting keyboard
I hope for vibration settings, like on the phones. They are pretty limited on our tab s6. And rotation of the volume buttons with the screen orientation like in my old tab s. There are a lot of details that are not very nice on our flagship
m.
Don't forget about the boot animation that is shown in portrait mode.
A lot of little annoyances unfortunately.
Yep, exactly! Not really made with love the software

I'll add to that:
- using the keyboard to launch apps is a mess. Needs revamping.
- Mousing is bad. Outside of DeX [middle-click] = [home] and [right-click] = [back]. This is so stupid that even if by some stroke of awful luck someone actually got used to it Samsung turns it off in DeX because of course [right-click] should trigger context menus!! But, DeX handles [middle-click] in a way that prevents apps from understanding it. So it doesn't send [home] anymore but it just doesn't work either. If you wonder what apps use middle-click try a mouse with Chrome on any Pixel device. It works like it does on PC. Let's mention scrolling. The mouse wheel can only scroll in-focus apps in DeX. Like old school Windows. The OEM trackpad can scroll background apps because someone at Samsung apparently tested that. Free windows in AOSP Android since v8 scroll background windows fine, just DeX has this problem.
- Keyboard nav isn't great and I don't mean the OEM hardware. I have so far noticed the [ESC] key appears to send [back] instead of [ESC] and that's a no-go for some work loads and just breaks the paradigm for no good reason.
-My 10+ in screen really needs the notification shade centered and consuming 6 in of width?
I am used to a Pixel C and before that a Nexus 10. Neither had DeX mode and neither had an S-Pen but both tablets knew how a friggin mouse works. Both tablets knew what the [ESC] key is for. Both could be made to feel like large screen landscape tablets. Both had serious flaws but I didn't think input devices would be a problem for the Tab S6. Realize the OEM trackpad doesn't allow right clicking outside of DeX because it would send the [back] command every time someone tapped with 2 fingers! This thing feels more cobbled together every time I use it (and I am a long time Android tablet user haha).
I'm annoyed and it's because I want this to be better and it feels close like it was rushed or something and could have been better.
