I tried using the gingerbread keyboard. Very nice indeed.
My question is:
Does the gingerbread keyboard implement the BlindType technology Google recently bought. I am thinking not; since i tried a little and didn't see much difference.
But anybody have info on that?
Another question. Is the Swype keyboard still and option?
Swype is completely separate from the Gingerbread keyboard (or any other keyboard), and you can have as many different keyboards installed at once as your phone has space for. I have 4 or 5 keyboards, including Swype, on my phone.
hey guys,
i'm new to the TPT and i do like it a lot so far. root went well and bloatware is down. since there are so many apps that are device specific, i was curious if there are any different soft keyboard apps that you could recommend. on the SGS2 i am using swype, so when i switch devices, i'm somehow missing that a little.
possible to install other keys and if so, anything to recommend? maybe even something for the stylus? (i figure that either my handwriting sucks, or the detection for regular writing just sucks)
sorry for beginners questions, but i couldn't find anything about it yet ..
I tried several and settled on SwiftKey Tablet X. Works best for me.
I use Thumb Keyboard. It has a split design and has numbers and arrows. It works good with this wide fellow.
I use it on my phone, but was disappointed that it didn't translate well to tablet, for me.
I use Swype and like it a lot
I use FlexT9, it does swype as well as dictation and some other nifty stuff.
Swift Key tablet version is my favorite, not to much of a fan of Swype but thats just my personal preference. its either stock android or swift key
If you like the full keyboard like I do, i recommend the Hacker's Keyboard. Not exactly sure why its called that but it uses a full QWERTY keyboard with arrow keys. Another is the Logitech Keyboard (still in beta but I havent had any issues) that has a full QWERTY that also you can swipe across the keyboard to show another keyboard that doubles as a technical keyboard or calculator.
If you like lots of buttons, is more open to customizing (button row/column height/width adjustments), either one would work great.

I prefer Thumb Keyboard too. I like that you can choose different themes for it. And for the most part, the themes they offer match a lot of flashable themes/roms for different devices.

+1 for Hacker's Keyboard. I usually use my tablet in the folio case so I have a nice hardware keyboard. However there have been plenty of times where I have had it out of the folio and been editing a document or posting on a forum and the hackers keyboard has come in extremely handy. It would be something I was willing to spend money on, but since it is free, it's an even better deal.

Hackers Keyboard ist the best, it is for free you can use 5 row style (numbers and letters) and you can download different languages for auto correctur.
In portrait mode I usually use Swype, which is great even at 10inch!
In landscape mode and for things like SSH/Terminal, I use Hacker's Keyboard, which feels almost like the real thing
Dueces beat me to it. HACKERS KEYBOARD for the closest simulation of a desktop keyboard (I've) found so far. Not only are the keys big and bold, perhaps more importantly they are scalable (as is the entire keyboard).

SwiftKey Tablet X for me as I use SwiftKey 3 on my SGS3 and I just can't go back to anything else anymore...I might have to give this hacker's keyboard a crack though, thanks for the suggestion.
For those who like Swype, I strongly recommend the TouchPal keyboard. Its implementation of the swype input method is terrific.

I was just looking for a way to get the stock swype like keyboard back after installing cm 10.
Touchpal is even better!

I use original JB 4.1.2 keyboard, it's good but when I want to use thumb the Thumb Keyboard is invaluable
Great keyboard is original ICS from Sony smartphone's but it does not work on no Sony hardware, unfortunely...
stock rom and rooted, my predictive text / autocomplete doesn't really do anything, I just used an S4 and the keyboard was flawless... built in number row was nice too, any way to install this kb on s3?
doesnt the s4 come with the swype keyboard?
it's supposed to, but some updates ago the auto-text stopped working and the layout is just overall better on the S4... way more functional
I am picking up a 10.1 and would like to run CM on it. The only thing that I think I will miss the lack of handwriting recognition. Is there an app that will replace this functionality for me. Thanks.
There are some keyboards apps like swype which have pen input.
There is a ported keyboard ' LG keyboard ' which supports pen input..
I have tested many of them but none of them are even close to what samsung keyboard gives.. For pen input , samsung is the best and I was surprised how accurate it was then i first used it.
However no one has been able to port samsung keyboard to asop roms yet.
Does anyone know if it's possible to have a Dvorak layout on the Gboard that I have on my watch 4?
I know, I'm a wierdo using a Dvorak keyboard, on my phone it's great, but my head can't deal with switching to Qwerty when I want to send a message from my watch
Many thanks for any thoughts/advice
