SlideIt keyboard

I have been using Swype keyboard for some time and absolutely love it, but have been annoyed about it not having special letters such as used in Scandinavia.
Then Yesterday I fell over a similar keyboard called SlideIt and that works same way as Swype, it just have support for all European languages plus Arabic and Hebrew, plus you can make abbreviations and as a benefit to all those that don't use WM you can also get it for Android and Symbian.
Price is a reasonable 7.99 USD
You read about here: http://www.mobiletextinput.com/

U are scandiavian? Does the keyboard support ÆØÅ?

Yes, I'm Danish.
Yes, as I wrote then it supports all European languages, you download a language pack of your choice, mine was of course Danish and you can just download the Norwegian language pack and in options you choose the language you want as Primary and which one you want as secondary and voila you have all the special characters for Norway.
The only issue is when you have used Swype for some time is that the buttons are a little smaller, but that only takes a day to get used to.

ok, and it works when u flip the phone to the side?
Have to check out the videos on youtube before i decide...
But if anyone else have used this, i would like to know about the feedback..

Brilliant, abselutly brilliant....

SlideIT is the no.1 keyboard for my/the HD2. Far superior over Swype IMHO.

Thanks!!! Certainly the new version kicks the hell out of Swype.

Im Norwegian and have been using SwipeIT since the start. Works fine, but the only issue i have is that it does not work in landscape mode. The keyboard turns all white and the letters are not visible.
Think this is a know'n problem since i have heard some other reports on the same.

it is fixed in the new version, works like a charm

It is really a great keyboard! One issue I have is that it does not detect text selection in HTC Messaging application. I don't think the problem is with SlideIT since it works fine on another text application like Pocket Notepad, and also Swype does not detect selected text also... So probably a problem with HTC Messaging app text selection method...
Anyway it is a great input method and works very good!

Double tap selection never works in HTC Messaging. Long press/hold on the word brings up the editing menu. It's stupid, in my view.

Yeah, I know about the long press editing menu. but even if I select a word with the little pointers (or whatever that things are called) SlideIT does not detect it, so I cannot add/edit/remove that word to/from the SlideIT dictionary like the video here: http://www.mobiletextinput.com/Product/SlideIT/Corrections.php

Ah, yes. I guess that is why so many people are disabling HTC Messaging and using the WM default client. It's better in these areas, but it looks like crap.

Best app i've downloaded so far, i couldn't be happier

Hi all!
Have just installed SlideIT and i think if i give it some time i will use it before the HD2 original one. But, is there some better looking skins for it? Or at least one with slightly bigger buttons?
Have googled it but i can't find anything that points me in any way that says that someone is making or are going make skins for it.
Can it be done?

In PDF User Manual, I read this:
"The user has the option to introduce a large number of new words into the dictionary rapidly or to even use a customized dictionary. To do this, create a file containing the new words on a PC and then move the file to the device. The user must open the file and select all of its content. Next, tap on the indicator ‘+’. The bulk update is then performed. Note that the maximum length of the selected text is 1000 characters."
But which kind of file I've to create, where I've to put it, and how can I access to it from the keyboard ?

You can use an application like Pocket Notepad with a txt file...

Why is it so much better than swype? I have 0 issues most of the time with swype unless im trying to do a lot of mixed numbers/letters...

TouchPal Keyboard discussion (for people with the beta only)

This is a thread for people testing TouchPal's beta. This is not an "applying for beta" thread, if you don't have it installed, you're in the wrong place.
From my PM, I got the following:
----------------
** Feedback **
The main goal of having beta testing is to collect valuable feedback. Your feedback is important to us! To submit your feedback, please email to (removing address to prevent spamming).
Besides TouchPal Keyboard, TouchPal Dialer is another app that helps you find contacts quicky in T9 keypad, display caller location, and much more. Search "TouchPal Dialer" in Andorid market and it is free!
Again, sincere thanks from TouchPal team!

Personally, I'm having some luck emailing Jessica (and got a reply), but also having a lot of bounces. I'll try to get a note through to CooTek that I started this thread.
I'll post my email & reply in a moment.

oops - double posted. sorry.

What I sent earlier today:
Only been playing around 30 minutes, so will try to send a longer one after using a few days, but some quick thoughts:
- I kept typing "This is a test" to see if the keyboard would learn. I know on Swiftkey (which I own) that the first time I type it, it's the default next time (ie, when I type "This" then "is" "a" "test" will all be top suggestions in that order.
On TouchPal, the word "Test" didn't show the first couple times, then it did show on the right, and slowly moved to the left of suggestions - so I think it's learning. I don't know how the settings are, but might need some tweaking.
- With tracing turned on, you obviously can't slide down on letters to get alternate symbols But holding down works just fine. Likewise, with tracing on, you don't get to see the predicted next word until you hit a space.
The problem with that - with tracing keyboards I usually do trace-trace-trace, never hitting the space bar. Spaces are auto-entered. To get the next-word predition, I have to do trace-space (see if the word I want is on the list & if not go back to tracing). I'll have to try this for a few days, but right now it's faster to just trace the next word I want then hit the space & see if the word I want is up there.
On, with tracing on, no idea how to change keyboard layouts.
- Toolbar area, please change the buttons. Make the language one be settings with one click & language with 2 clicks. I don't need another settings button where words will be. Likewise, I don't need a tutorial button there. I do like the middle buttons for cut/copy/arrows. Maybe a button to turn tracing on/off or change layouts?
- Percise mode. One of the BIGGEST things I use in SlideIT is the ABC/Sliding button so I can turn off tracing and go to exact input. Very useful for web page addresses, user name, password, names - anything where you temp. need your exact clicks. Maybe make your TouchPal symbol a toggle to turn this mode on & off.
- Is it me, or is the bottom left A/Book button the same as the Shift button?

Please note that in the example, "a" is followed by "test". There are many possible words after "a", so inputting "a test" for once doesn't necessarily mean you will have "a test" in the next time. If "test" is promoted too fast, this would be a disturbing option. If you try some other combination, such as "This is a quick test", I believe "test" will be immediately promoted after you input "quick".
The problem with that - with tracing keyboards I usually do trace-trace-trace, never hitting the space bar. Spaces are auto-entered.

You do have such a toggle button on the left-bottom-corner with A and a book (indicating dictionary). Is it not obvious enough? Do you have a better suggestion?

My verdict.
I like it but currently swype is better.
Improvements
* the ability to add words to dictionary by manually typing it.
* Auto correct is to sensitive. A slight delay when typing gives you an extra letter. swype is smoother.
* auto capitalisation after fullstop
* symbols done the usual way, its a nice idea but annoying when having to scroll through pages, try to add more on each page.
to be honest i thought i would type this with TouchPal so i could see bugs whilst typing, and I'm starting to like it. autocorrect the only annoyance

As far as I can tell, it already does that. Type a word (no matter whether you are in dictionary mode or not), and next type you are typing it it will suggest the word. Or when swiping it next time, it will also come up.
My comments:
I agree with most of the things that are posted here. I had one crash of touchpal today, it occured while i tapped and hold the backspace key to get rid of a few lines of text. Touchpal closed and didn't give me an option to send a crash log, unfortunately. Tried it a few times more, and sometimes when "backspacing" a lot of text, it will crash. Pretty reproducible.
I just don't completely understand the dictionary button, I don't find a difference in behavior whether it's turned on or off?
And when clicking a word (that was a mistake), it would be neat if other suggestions would come up so you can easily correct it, like swype does.

Thusfar, I think SlideIT (my normal keyboard) is better. My big thing is wanting the next word suggestion but I can't see an easy way of doing it and suggesting fixes for the Slide.
My only thought so far would be to split the suggestion line and make the first 2-3 suggestions fixes for the current word and then the next 2-3 words suggestions for the next word. Color code them so you know which are which.
I suppose you could also do two lines and let the user decide which one or both they want to see.
I will keep this one as my default for at least a week to see how it goes. I've found some other differences that would require adjustment. Spacing particularly going from single taps to tracing and back seems to be a bit inconsistent.
For a beta version, it's running pretty smooth. Suggestions and improvements can always be added

I was trying to type 'sim' today and it absolutely would not let me. When I hit the s key, it typed an a. No amount of tweaking would work. If I managed to get the s to work, I'd type an i and then tried to type the m, but it automatically inserted 'sin', and would not let me type 'sim'. Very frustrating.
Plus, there is a typo - I can't find it now, but somewhere the word 'editing' is misspelled 'editting' (two t's).

That reminds me - any way to remove a word entered by accident?
This app makes me miss Ultra Keyboard, wonder how he's doing. That was the one that tried to cram in every dang option from every keyboard out there. I seem to remember that the tracing was pretty bad at getting the correct word, but sure had a lot of options. Don't think it had next word prediction though.

This is my review I posted on reddit
Here is my review after ~1 hour of playing with it
I know I can come off as bashing this, but I'm not. I'm just giving my honest, personnal impression of this beta. I'll also be comparing it to swype only since it's its main competitor
PROS
- The install was flawless (no registration or anything for now). Swype is annoying for this, particularly when it fails to generate license or w/e. Flashing new roms regularly on my phone, I've had a good share of failed installs of swype. Pain in the ass to remove as it's usually a system app (not uninstallable without Root explorer/Titanium Backup/etc.)
- I haven't seen crashes/bugs
- It has been fully responsive without a hint of slowdown unlike swype (sometimes I get a slight lag on swype)
CONS
- I couldn't find the "blank keyboard" shown in the video. I'm thinking it was just a way for them to show you can type blind with the keyboard
- The predictions are pretty bad for short words (2-4 letters). Swype is also not so great at this, but usually better
- The default dictionary seems like it needs much more training than swype. I frequently flash new roms on my phone and usually I barely have to train swype to get to a satisfactory level when typing. This wasn't the case. I'd say swype predicts correctly about 70-80% of my words out of the box while Touchpal is probably around 50-70%.
SWYPE VS TOUCHPAL
Here is some unscientific tests I did with a few sentences with both keyboards out of the box. Using "swype" method and not tapping amongst the suggestions (letting the keyboard pick its best guess)
"Why are you so mad?"
* TOUCHPAL: Whiff ate youtube sop mad?
* SWYPE: Why are you so mad?
"Reddit is the place to be"
* TOUCHPAL: Reaffirm its the place to be
* SWYPE: Freddie is the place to be
"This is a test of an android keyboard"
* TOUCHPAL: This its the testy of android keyboard
* SWYPE: This is a test of an android keyboard
"Let's do one more test for Reddit"
* TOUCHPAL: Lewis dull one mower test for restitution
* SWYPE: Let's do over more test for refit
TL;DR
Promising but swype still far "better". I'm hoping for improvement as I hate Swype installation.

i agree with what you say, TouchPals correction is poor, tries too hard to find what you're trying to say, shouldn't try to lengthen words, just ends up guessing words that begin around where you started. its a good idea but flawed by its predictions. shouldn't go longer than amount of letters you stopped on
Swyped from my MIUI Galaxy S II

Quick questions:
Is it me or with tracing on, is there a way to quickly change keyboard layouts (from full keys to TouchPal+ to T9)?
Is there a way to do tracing while in TouchPal+ mode (2 letters per key)?

After using this for a while, I agree with a lot of the comments here.
1. The auto-correction is too sensitive. Always giving me words that I am NOT often using even as I swype over and over again.
2. I cannot seem to swype words like "Haha" "Hehe" "Lol". Can't even seem to add them to dictionary. It never seems to learn that I like to use those words often.
3. I set my Keyboard Layout in Portrait to FULL QWERTY. When I am on an active telephone call and I want to use the keyboard, it will auto switch to 12-Key PhonePad for me.
So for now, I am still sticking to Swype app. =) Oh I hope there's a quick way to tap the to have a smiley inserted immediately rather than tapping that Smiley > Going into a Smiley Menu > Tap a Smiley. Swype can do it it in one tap of a button.

Currently reinstalling after a reflash earlier but i've got to say what stood out the most (negative) was the desire to lengthen words. I understand that its a great feature to type "ackn" and get "acknowledge" but so many times i'm trying to write something simple and the first suggestion will always be much longer and obscure (can't remember the one earlier for "hey").
Maybe some sort of gesture to let the keyboard know you're trying to write a longer word using less keystrokes? I don't know how many words start with double letters, maybe a quick double tap on the first letter before sliding? Trying to think of situations where that would be worse than what we're experiencing.
Given that this is a phone/tablet keyboard and most users right now are on phones using this for texting and/or quicker e-mails, I think you are more likely to see people simplifying their speech automatically rather than trying to swype a really long word like "got it" instead of "acknowledge"
Will post more meaningful thoughts when I get a chacne to play with it some more

2 things that really bug me:
- not able to correct a word when i tap on it. have to delete the whole word and re-swipe it.
- not able to input custom words.

yeah.. tried to send feedback via the email they gave and it bounced back twice. :l

TouchPal, it was doing great until it comes to learning new words. The promotion system sucks as the word I really use often move very slowly to the blue recommendation box. For those who are fast typist, use super simplified words, this app is not meant for you. Its a damn slow learner. But can be fixed if they implement SMS learning in it. Plus, if I edit some existing word, it will just create another new word, without taking the existed word into account. Even if I just want to add an -es into it.

Really annoying to hit space after every word. Especially with a small space bar. Need continuous swyping!

No french dictionnary

thanks for adding me to the beta team.
i could use it for daily use if the german dict would also be released. so i only can test a few sentence because i only use english 5% of my typings.
a must have for me also is a configurable smiley button. want to change some smilies.
the thing i also miss is: when typing some words, and you want to correct a word typed 3 words before, that you put the cursor somewhere into the word and get the correction list as in smartkeyboard pro.
i would also like to see the cursor arrows all the time like in smartkeyboard pro. optionally.

I'd like to add this in case any Epic 4G users happen to read. I found that TouchPal affected my hardware keyboard by making the 'fn' and 'shift' keys lose their functionality. I was unable to capitalize letters and make symbols with it. Was fine before I installed TouchPal, and it was fixed after I uninstalled TouchPal. Tried re-installing it several times to see if it was just a mishap, but after 6 times the problem was always there.
Current build is Froyo 2.2.1, [EC05]SyndicateROM Frozen 1.2, Twilight 1.1.1 Kernel.
Other than that, some very nice features. Love the up/down slide on keys for capital letter/number/symbol shortcut. Would love if a future version had full text shortcuts when pressing they key and scrolling up, down, left or right. For now though, no go. I need my slide-down keyboard :3

[FAQ] TouchPal Keyboard Beta Test(Updating……)

[UPDATE 8/29]: TouchPal V4.8 Beta2 has been newly released! To update the new version, please download the new apk from the original link and install this new version after unintalling beta1.
We did the following updates:
1. Support slide-down symbols when enabling Curve. Show up commonly used punctuations in last row.
2. Support “Touch to reselect” feature. The user could Curve all the words and goes back to reselect candidates by “simple click and choose touch to edit” or “double click”.
3. Optimize symbol view to full QWERTY.
4. Improve the precision of Curve recognition.
5. Support smart spacing. Now we add space after each word candidate.
6. Allow to install TouchPal main program to SD card.
7. Support 10+ languages.
8. Fix other bugs.
Thank you all for your great feedback on Beta1! We will listen to your feedback and keep improving!
(If you want to apply for beta testing, please click on this thread)
Up to now, we have received thousands of beta testing requests. We have been sending the beta version since last Friday. Thank you so much for your great support!
FYI, we are currently working on an updated beta (beta 2) based on the first round user feedback. Hopefully it will be done in a couple of weeks. Stay tuned.
If you have any feedback, you may also reply here in this thread.
FAQ:
1. How to extract and install the beta apk?
You need to extract the downloaded zip file on a PC using compression tools such as 7zip with the unzip password we sent to you. Then copy the extracted .apk to your phone’s SD card. Run the .apk file on your phone to install the keyboard. Then enable it in the Settings->Locale & Keyboard.
2. Why can’t I use TouchPal Curve, while the predictive dictionary works fine?
You may need to enable Curve in settings first. Or when you go through the tutorial, Curve will be enabled by default.
3. How to get double letters in TouchPal Curve, e.g. “happy”?
You can slide over the letter only once, and our prediction engine is smart enough to figure out the potential double letters. NO need to draw tiny circles on a letter like you did in Swype. For example, if you want to get the word “happy”, you can slide over letters “h,a,p,y”, and then you will get “happy”.
4. If I didn’t get my desired word after sliding, can I double click to edit it, like what Swype does?
We will add “touch to edit” function in beta 2 to improve this experience.
5. TouchPal Curve is good for long words. But for shorter words, why it often gives me wrong suggestions?
This is a known issue and we are working on a fix.
6. Can the keyboard be a bit larger, and how to close the toolbar?
You can enable “Enlarge keyboard height” or disable “function bar” in TouchPal Setting>>Keyboard layout. And we will improve our keyboard layout in future releases.
7. It is annoying to have to go into settings every time to toggle Curve.
We will design a shortcut to conveniently toggle Curve in the next beta version.
8. What’s the blue “A-book” button on the left bottom for?
This is for enabling/disabling the predictive input. Once disabled, it will be in precise mode.
9. Why some buttons don't work when using hard keyboard?
Because Droid X doesn’t support the ALT and CTRL button in hard keyboard, and we are trying to fix this problem.
10. Can't I "swipe" punctuation in Curve-mode?
We plan to adjust our keyboard to allow to swipe punctuation in next beta version. Currently, you can long-press to get the punctuations.
11. Can I customize my tools panel or change skin?
The tools panel can be disabled in Settings. This version doesn’t support skin. It would be supported in the future.
12. Why I can't hide keyboard like in demo?
It's a special feature for demo to prove you can blindtype, and it's not in the release version.
13. When will the next beta be delivered and when will be possible to test others languages?
We will deliver our next beta in a few weeks later and other languages will be supported in the official release.
14. How can I add my user words to the dictionary?
Our keyboard is smart enough to remember user words after you type them several times and will predict when you are sliding.
15. What is the latest version?
The latest official version is v4.7.6. The beta version is v4.8.x, which is a new version with more wonderful functions we plan to promote.
16. Why I don't receive any responses from TouchPal?
Because some members suggested that our thanks replies would disturb this thread, I click the thanks button instead of replying to everyone. But I have delivered all of your suggestions to our developers.
16. Where can I download the language packs?
I have corrected the download links. You can go to this thread to find language pack links.
17. Why only three bottom row of symbols is visible?
It's a feature not a bug. We just show up commonly used punctuations in last row to support slide-down symbols when enabling Curve.
Besides TouchPal Keyboard, TouchPal Dialer is another app that helps you find contacts quicky in T9 keypad, display caller location, and much more. Search "TouchPal Dialer" in Andorid market and it is free!
Again, sincere thanks from TouchPal team!

This new keyboard is stupidly fast and accurate. I love the interface and the simplicity of the layout. Awesome so far!!!! I will give it a go on my tablet a bit later and see how it fairs. Very clean and no lag as of yet.
Dev, good job!

I was using touchpal keyboard for some time(the previous version), and I see a lot improovements both on user interface and usability. It is the best keyboard I've tried so far.
Unfortunately it is unusable for me, because of language support.
So, I'm waiting for greek language support
P.S
If you want a translation to greek, PM me the resource files.

12. How much will Touchpal be after the beta period?
I don't want to use it and get hooked and then find out the final version will be $10.

Really enjoying using this keyboard. But, a touch to correct feature (a bit like the stock Android keyboard and like Swype) would be a great addition.
Also, how will the next beta be delivered? I noticed there is a check for updates option in the settings. Will we use that? And finally, any idea on timeline?

Please add auto spacing for continuous "swiping."

Sent from my Incredible S using Tapatalk

Two minor quirks I have noticed.
1.) When I am replying to a text message, it will not auto-capitalize the first letter.
2.) When I hit the paragraph button and then start a new sentence it will occasionally capitalize the first letter of the first two words and then transcribe normally.

Would love the option to disable the auto-correct when space is hit. I like to have the words and corrections on the bar as suggestions, but the ability to not have them auto selected whenever I hit space.
Love the keyboard so far, I have submitted multiple feedback bug report emails per the initial request.

I would like to try the beta please.

Wrong thread, you want to go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188114

I have a few questions
1. My main keyboard has been SlideiT. IMO it has been the best one for me. One thing I really like about that keyboard that I can't seem to get in this one is adding words to the dictionary. With SlideiT, I can type out my different email addresses and then add it to my library. So when I need to type them out I just slide over the first 3 or 4 letters and select the proper address. Can this keyboard do that?
2. When I try and slide my wife's name (Mandy) it always changes the keyboard. It's going from M to A.
I would like to see a better tutorial video explaining all the details of the keyboard.
Thanks

+1 on the tap a word for options. When it gets it wrong and auto-correct puts the wrong word in it is extremely useful in other keyboards to tap the word and get similar options.
I also wish there was a "compact view" similar to the expanded view in portrait mode which would crunch it all down a bit. The regular view takes up more than 50% of the screen, which is way too big to text inline effectively and see a few texts above the current one you are on.
Also the send button on the bottom seems unnecessary.
great speed and accuracy for the most part, just some small tweaks that break the flow and make it a bit of an adjustment

In the video, you used a blank canvas as a keyboard. I desperately want that feature, but can't find it any where. That's the only reason i wanted to try this keyboard in the first place. If there isn't one, back to swype.

Epic keyboard
My gripes are: that it needs better word learning, i want to configure the keyboard as i type my ebonics and slang instead of writing it out over and over.
Better swyping accuracy. Why cnt i just type the letters of a word in no particular order and have the keyboard pick up the word im trying to say. Swype does it.
Also it needs a broader word dictionary for easier corrections

I tested the keyboard on my viewsonic g tablet and noticed that when I swipe the path doesn't follow the letters, all the letters I seem to go through draw a path out to beyond the bottom right of the screen, so after I type it loks like a spiralgraph. Secondly, when I try the voice to text, it launches the voice yo text but it doesn't exit and enter the word after I stop speaking.

Turn off spell check?

In many apps, when you type into an input box android will underscore mistyped words with a line. The problem is when typing in a different language, Spanish for example, it will underline every single word even if spelled correctly and it's kind of annoying. I know the language can be changed but it's really not feasible to go an change the system language every time I type something.
This feature is essentially not needed since every keyboard app, including LG's own has built-in spell-check and spelling suggestions. The G3 and G4 had an option to turn off native spell check but I can't seem to find it on the V10. I wonder which genius at LG decided to remove this option.

Thanks, but the keyboard feature is actually the feature I do want. I was referring to the actual input box, in certain apps the system underlines words that it thinks are spelled incorrectly, akin to how desktop computer underlines typos.
See attached photo.

Go Language & keyboard -> LG Keyboard -> Auto Correction -.> off (if you have multiple languages setting for your keyboard, there would be choice for each language)

Stock Keyboard issues with Nougat

Hello,
Nougat update on S7 has completely f**** up my stock keyboard.
With Marshmallow:
I was able to type at high speed with relevant bilingual autocorrection whatever language (french/english) was set on the keyboard.
The return key was allowing me to cancel the auto correction by leaving the typed words.
With Nougat:
No bilingual autocorrect, I have to select the right language anytime I am switching fomr english to french otherwise the keyboard corrects everything into the language set on with the space bar key.
I tried to use Swiftkeyboard but not a big fan of it since question marks is not accessible straight (have to long press the . key) + the numeric pad is awful, tiny and showing plenty of symbol (when it comes to enter only digits) and the € key is sent to page 3 of the keyboard which is annoying for euro countries and there is no .com key neither."
Even if it does bilingual autocorrection and there's plenty of customization capabilities, all mentioned above cannot be changed.
Is there anyway to get back to the well performing stock keyboard without root ?
Thank you

This happened to me as well. Unfortunately, I still haven't found a fix for that. Deleting the app data/cache for the appropriate apps didn't help. So anyone else any idea?

I'm using G Board now, I also thought that the stock nougat KB wasn't that good.

I know there are many great alternatives, but not fulfilling all my requirements.
For example, I need Umlauts on my keyboard and a number row.

I don't know what Umlauts is, G board has a dedicated number row though.

Umlauts: ä, ö, ü
(I know you can achieve these by long tapping the letter but I want it right on the keyboard.)

It doesn't even learn your typing from your other app like fb or email..
Stock Marshmallow keyboard was way more customizable i.e offensive words/learn from other apps...

Hi guys! Same for me! I use 2 languages and the autocorrect is a pain. Maybe Samsung had a 3rd party work on The Marshmallow keyboard and now the contract is over? They really ****ed up big time!

I cant add short cuts to my stock keyboard. To type my name i eould type vcl and my entire long ass name pops up. I cant figure it out. HELP PLEASE, Vinny

Same thing for me, I usually can change the language when SMS'ing between English and Vietnamese. Now I no longer have that choice and don't know how to fix it either.
A lot of other issues:
+ When using Waze for navigation, when I make a phone call after 15' or 30' the screen will return back to Waze, but it's not
+ The quality of sound for both phone talking and music listening is bad (interference noise), and the volume at max level is much lower
+ Very slow to launch new applications
+ Some no response to touch screen.

I had my phone trained before to understand French, Italian, and Dutch in addition to my default English. Now, a Dutch keyboard (and ergo dictionary) are not even a choice. There's only seven languages to choose from!

Oh, quick addition: Before flashing with Odin I hard reset my S7 and did set everything up as new. So no incompatibility with any apps or so there shouldn't be any incompatibility with any apps or so.

I am also really annoyed by the N keyboard update. Just got used to the keyboard on MM and started to like it. Even more than gboard or swiftkey.
Does anyone know where I can download the old keyboard? Or which version it was? I want it back. I know that I cannot just install it over the system app, but maybe we can modify the old version and install it as additional keyboard?

I mean getting it back doesn't seem to be a problem, just extract it from any 6.0 rom zip, but installing it/modifying it would be difficult for me.

could you extract the old keyboard apk?
Question: To install the old keyboard app, it is necessary that the package name of the old app is not the same as the one that is currently installed, otherwise it would not let us install it/over. We cannot remove the current system app without root... Is changing the packagename enough? I would try this...
Because here I found a thread that shows how to change the packagename https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2760965

I'll see what I can do.

Patience is a virgin.

So I just noticed that one could download the old version of the com.sec.android.inputmethod.apk on apkmirror.com. So now we just need someone to modify it and make it compatible for Nougat. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Same issues maybe like you guys, really loved the marshmallow keyboard. Maybe someone can make it compatible with nougat.

I upgraded to 7.0 on my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. BIG mistake! First my keyboard became mostly unresponsive. Then after a reboot nearly every App button left the screens. Now, I cannot bring them back, because now holding down an APP button to move an App back to the home screen cannot be done. Nothing happens. Other issues are there, but these are the most important.
