Can anyone recommend a great replacement keyboard from the stock samsung keyboard.. i dont use Swype at all.. My main issue with the keys is that its too tightly put together and making LOTS of typos.. been using the phone for close to 2 months already.

Why didn't I try this before! Works great, much better then Samsungs! Thanks man
Try searching the forum for HTC IME mod, imo its the best android keyboard available, made even better by jonas

Even I am looking for a replacement keyboard. The issue with Swype is that the keys are small leading to lots of errors and since my native language is not supported I can't swype all the words.
Samsung is good as far as keys are concerned but only issue with it is that if you have to input numbers or some symbol you have to go to a different screen whereas on other keyboards you can long press a certain key and the corrosponding no or symbol is displayed.
If samsung had that option it would have been great.
I have downloaded smart keyboard and it does look good. Lets try it for sometime and see how it goes.
Tried smart keyboard for a few days and i dont really see any improvements... the "." is just placed to close on the space key
The HTC mod keyboard does not work after an upgrade to froyo. Any way of making that work?

Any keyboard out there with the same layout / distancing as the Iphone keyboard but retains the stock SGS or andriod look... I find texting on an ip3Gs / ip4 about 2x better compared to my SGS.
Swiftkey is the best keyboard I have found by far
Swiftkey looks nice, but it has very limited set of keyboard layouts.
For example, it is very funny that is supports Swedish language prediction, but not the Swedish keyboard layout.
Not very speedy to input Swedish words, when you are missing å, ä and ö keys
I always keep going back to the black droidx keyboard.. love how the keys are alittle bigger

Starting to stick to Droid x keypad as well.. Easy for quick typing
All of the keyboards around basically have the same spacing in them.. the distance on the iphone keyboard seems to be perfect.. for about 5 months with the samsung keyboard i still get a lot of typos
I actually use Smart Keyboard Pro and find it great.

Trying to get the HTC keyboard for my phone cuz let's face it, the android keyboard sucks. I've been following this thread over on the XDA Nexus One thread and have followed it exactly installing both APK's. Each time when i long click and select Touch Input, no keyboard shows up on the screen.
I'm not exactly sure why it won't work since i have installed several other keyboards over the past.
If anyone knows how to get this working, or is experiencing a similar issue please let me know.
Bump
Seriously? Nobody. The android keyboard sucks haha and my swype expired.
lol dude, not clue why it doesnt work, i tried downloading the v20 apk from the N1 forums, it installs but when you switch input methods it doesnt show up so stuck in same boat

I tried HTC_IME (not sure whether it was this same one) earlier, and I don't really get the charm. Is it just the languages supported? It's not multi-touch I believe and I missed a lot of letter due to that, especially space. I am currently using the Droid X Multi-touch and it's faster than everything else (and I've tried almost all). The thing is that I can type fast enough on this not to need prediction, I only use that for spelling correctione etc.
Been using this for awhile to skin my own HTC IME, first on my Milestone, then on my Galaxy.
i love you guys :-D.thx a lot for this!

Always heard good things about the HTC keyboard and after installing this i can see why.
anyone know how to enable the on screen dpad, or is there one even available on the HTC keyboard?
Can anyone tell me how to remove this completely? I uninstalled from applications, but does that remove Clicker.apk too? I can't find it in /system/app either
can't install
i can install the click apk but not the htc ime apk, what program you guys use to install, it tells me through Astra that file can't be read as an apk.

I'm going to admit that I love the iphone keyboard
The spacing between the keys just works for me
I've been trying to duplicate that on my evo and having a hard time
Tried swype and eh
Tried swiftkey and its great but keys are super close to each other
Tried the droid multi touch and it feels slow
Tried htc mod and its closer since I can modify the spacing but still Its a bit slow
Anyone have any recommendations or tips for a keyboard

All the ones I would recommend you already listed! lol. My two favorite are swiftkey and swype. I haven't seen any keyboard like Iphones. Maybe better keyboard? You can always search the market and download some of the free keyboards and see if you like them. Good luck!
Free or paid?
Smart keyboard is pretty close to the keyboard. And if you want it to look like the iphone turn the alt labels off with caps always on in the setting.

Thanks for the suggestion
Well I have to say that even after 30 min of having it. It is already by far the best android keyboard I have used. I am in love with it thanks for the awesome suggestion!
I definitely agree. I got Smart keyboard on Thursday and I'm hooked. Lots of great customization as well. Check out the iPhone skin (although it may be enabled by default.) I'm using the black skin. LOVE IT.

5.1? Where did you find it please? It's not on market and maybe I've missed some twit from cootek. It's my main keyboard for month!
I prefer the standard Gingerbread keyboard. You can download it from the Android Market. Once you use it for a good period of time, you get used to it.

SwiftKey X is excellent! Definitely worth the money. Go and download the one month trial.
ive tried a lot of them but keep going back to the htc mod someone made for it. Still the best one in my opinion
Swype

I would be interested in new keyboard .. but I don't want any prediction. I want nice layout portrait and landscape, perfect reaction time. Customizable layout would be sweet, as so far, nothing really fits my needs.
Edit: looks like Smart Keyboard is going to cut it for me ! Lots of customization .. and some neat Czech options ..
Swiftkey X. My typing is TERRIBLE but it has fantastic auto-correction, so now I never have to worry about typos.

+1 for SwiftKey X
and also this is what I like about this keyboard:
- great prediction and auto completion,
- simultaneous use of different languages so don't have to remember to change language like in swype
- It can even predict little town names (at least in UK) and start them with capital letters.
- when you want to come back to previous words, you can still use dictionary, it doesn't treat them as a bunch of single letters but as a word.
It was my best buy from the market.

Well... That's very nice. I'll have to give that keyboard a try.
Edit: Predictions are excellent, I've got to say. Very nice keyboard.
And having two languages at the same time is killer
I'm using Swype. Couldn't stand Swiftkey because it kept predicting the wrong words for me.
That said, I do love the latest Swype with prediction.
Swiftkey
Its by far the best, and gets better the longer you use it.

The latest beta 3.26 is the best one yet. Get's my vote by far, and I've bought other keyboards. Excellent multi-language support and editable dictionary, gestures, etc. It's getting to be amazing.
nothing beats gingerbread keybard or latest swype is good
Hello!
I recently flashed an ICS rom on my Desire HD and I love it! However, I'm not very fond of the stock keyboard, but love it's colors and all the small things like when you auto-correct something the words blinks green-ish.
Also, the Swedish dictionary sucks really bad, it's very inaccurate and often makes spaces in words where there shouldn't be any. The auto-correction is really, really bad too and more often than not suggest words that doesn't even exist.
Does anyone know if there's any keyboard out there that works and looks like the ICS stock one, but with the layout and dictionary of HTC_IME by Jonasl?
Thank you!
Did I put this in the wrong forum or is there really no keyboard that looks and works like the ICS stock one, but with a dictionary and layout (long presses on keys for special characters etc) out there?
Have you tried the "ice cream sandwich keyboard" from the android market by binary buige? Its free as well might be an idea?
If I helped don't be scared to hit the thanks button
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
Thanks, but it's not really what I'm looking for. I tried another similar keyboard with better dictionary (than stock), but both that and the one you suggested has the same layout as the stock keyboard.
I prefer the special character layout from HTC_IME by jonasl, where you long-press a key for eg. questionmark.
On stock (and this) you either have to long-press . and drag your finger to the correct symbol, or click the symbol-key. Not as fast or as comfortable.
Thanks for the suggestion though!
Ah ok, sorry I couldn't help you man
Guess you'll have to keep searching - hope you sort it out tho

Hello!
I have disburdened the HTC IME for ICS, for flashing across the recovery, all good, but only it gives failure in a thing.
As that it is predictive and alphanumeric, and on having written it shows you suggestions of words for if the one that you write is not the one that querias, since
I give him to a word of the suggestions, and it gives me to force closing.
I have ICS 4.0.3. Of Teamhacksung... Some solution?
I like much this keyboard and it would not like to change it into other one.
Thank you
PD: I sit for the bad Englishman, use a translator since I am Spanish.
You did install the clicker_hi.apk too i hope?
This is mandatory for the keyboard correct functionality
I Downloaded this archive clicker_hi.apk:
http://www.mediafire.com/?mrwzkti754o7dcf
I have not stooped this file of there and either it me works, when I write and give him to someone of the suggested or corrected words, closing is forced.
If only I write without giving him to these suggested words, it does not force closing but clear it like that cannot be...
It is possible to know since you it did?
I use the ROM ICS Teamhacksung's 4.0.3 Build16
Thank you
