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.

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.

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.

Working great for me on 2.1 Darch Legend V.5.
You need to install the .apk, then go into settings >> keyboard >> enable swiftkey
Next you need to go into swiftkey settings and download a language pack.
After all that, long press on a text entry box and select SwiftText.
So far it is pretty great at predicting what I am about to type in 2 letters or so. I love Swype..but I am willing to give this a try for awhile.

I have not had any problems using it on DamageRegaw ROM. I think I downloaded straight to phone from the email link I received and then just installed using ES file explorer.
I hope that helps. Word prediction on this keyboard is interesting.

Look in settings >> language and keyboard >> and then under the sub-heading "Text Settings" there is a selection box next to the name "Swift Key". This is the same menu that you get into the Swift Key settings at (the check box is not within the Swift Key settings).

thats just it there is no box to enable it. nor is there one for the stock android one or the htc keyboard. they are all lined up but no enable. tried to reset after i installed and phone locked up so dont think it will work on dc v2 or maybe its just the damagetrev im running which is a faster version of dc v2
Eh, its better then stock, but once you try swype, its hard to type with anything else. If only swype had the voice thing like stock android, that would be awesome
OMFG!!! that looks awesome. so here's the question, if i want it how hard is it to try and then if i don't like it how hard to get rid of it?

I'm faster with Swype than a physical keyboard. I have installed it for two G1 owners recently after they got a hold of my phone.
No problems with darchlegendv5 I tested by just pushing space and if typed this " up to the business of Parity shall be liable for the use of the individual or entity to which it is a bit of a man they are trying to trace in connection with the word. I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person." Exactly what I wanted to type. Crazy smart keyboard, but I think it's pretty nice thus far just a little slow.

this looks interesting too though...is it like normal but predicts?

wish it work on dc v2r2. it installs but cant get it to pop up when long pressing. then it froze my phone.
Lol isn't this supposed to be about Swiftkey?
Just installed the newest release of Swype, beta 3.0, on my CM 7.0.3. The predictive is vastly improved. But, there is some significant lag on the entries sometimes. Going to sere if that improves with a couple of reboots.
How is everyone else doing with it and on what roms?
Tells me I have an invalid license on miui. I've been a beta tester since their first sign ups... their customer service sux cuz I have emailed them about this a few times with no reply.

Mic doesn't work for me. I see a blue outline like when something in Swype is broken when I try to use it. However, the improvements to me are worth the upgrade. It has a better word selector, more similar to stock/sense keyboard.
Worked fine on CM7 and Synergy for me. I always restore data for the installer from ROM to ROM. I think that preserves the license correctly. I also ran it fine on Hybrid Sense 3.0 as well.
I'm really not liking some aspects of it.
1. Before, it would pop up a list of word possibilities and I could hit the little x if I didn't like any of the choices. Now, I have to delete the word manually to give it another try. Takes longer.
2. I like the single-click correction, but it causes grief sometimes. For example, if I know I want to insert a letter or apostrophe into a word, I click on the word and the cursor immediately jumps to the end, and then I have to click again in the position where I want to insert, or use the track pad. Again, takes longer and sometimes it jumps to the end of the word a second time. Very annoying.
3. I don't like having to touch a new word twice to store it. Much rather have the previous implementation where I just manually typed the word and it was forever memorized.
Some things are nicer, like being able to use predictive text when typing each letter, but overall I think I'd like to revert to the previous addition. I'll give it a few more days.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I like so far, like that when I'm writing a weird word, like a product number I'm googling, it does not get stored. also the fact that I always get the word selector, sometimes I it annoyed me that it would not pop up on common words with similar trace lines as non common.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App
So far so good for me. In previous versions after a reboot Swype stopped working and I had to re select it to get it to work. I haven't had this problem with V3.0
Microphone is also working well now.
Running on Optimized Shift now with no problems.

Experienced same thing. Uninstalled and and ran the installer which installed 3.0. After new install it worked for a day or two until it said Beta Expired so had to generate new code but took just about 10 seconds.
The backspace is a real pain in the butt when the predictive text is incorrect and for those of us who have a foul mouth in text with our friends, it likes to replace a certain F word with duck no matter how many times I add the F word.
any way to get the predictive bar to stay there all the time so it doesnt snap the keyboard up/down ALL the time?

It stays in landscape, vanished in vertical.
FWIW, it seems to be working great for me on MIUI. I do have to admit the jumping up and down with the predictive bar gets annoying.
My predictive bar is always on top of the keyboard, just blank inbetween words, not sure what everyone is talking about regarding the jumping around *shrug*.
I love the new word choice style. I used to always tap the bottom word when trying to go to the second page of choices and now that mistake has been eliminated. While it does lessen screen real estate a little, it also doesn't cover what you're typing, the webpage you're on, etc which is nice.
I also love that I have the choice to add words after typing them rather than being automatic. Before, captcha phrases, words like aaaaaahhh!, etc were always added and got in the way sometimes.
The automatic correction is okay for typing but it annoyed me that I had to confirm my choice when I swyped or else if I moved the cursor somewhere else to add a word in, the cursor would go back to the end and replace the last word instead. I just turned the auto correct option off and everything is perfect for my tastes!
As for the person upset about losing one touch delete/undo for wrong words via the 'x' button, if you tap the swype key it highlights the word behind your cursor and you can swype over it with a new word, which is pretty close, it just involves one more tap to delete if you don't want any word there at all.

I find the Google Keyboard maddening. Always requiring mode flipping between keyboard character sets. The AOSP/Android Keyboard has a ton of punctuation readily available by long keypresses which is really convenient.
Am I missing some setting on the Google Keyboard that makes it perform the same way? Having to press three keys in a row to get something besides a letter every time is crazy.
Or does Google just think people type "omg lol cu" all the time? I mean, obviously not given the crazy and incredibly rare word suggestions it makes. (Which incidentally is another peeve!)
Do I have to side load the AOSP keyboard? Wish it was on the Play Store!
I came here to ask this exact question. One post I found suggested that you can swipe from the shift key to the punctuation you want, which is a bit better than {tap shift, tap ?}, for example, but it does seem silly to me to hide so much important punctuation behind another "page" of buttons. Considering loading AOSP as well...
I don't know if you already have, but you guys have got to check out SwiftKey. It's my second most important app.

I used SwiftKey *years* and years ago -- I think it must have been on *Donut* -- and while I liked the idea, when Swype came along I found it was just much faster for me. If SK now supports swipe-typing too, though.... well, that's tempting. I might just try it!

Hi.
Is there an option to make keyboard with numerical above letters. I don't like to push and hold e.g. letter Q for number 1. Or to swith to numerical. I'd like to have both on one screen.
If there no such an option which keyboard do you recommend do download?

Unfortunately, there is no internal setting that allows for you to put your numbers at the top of your keyboard. We advise that you browse the Google Play Store for third-party options. (ED)
I recommend swiftkey.
I use Swype + Dragon and its a great keyboard, easily awitching from letters to numbers, bilingual usage and great theming. Or try something different as Fleksy for instance, also a great keyboard and you can set a numbers row in permanently.
