SlideIT Keyboard is currently half off in the market for New Years. I doubt it beats Swype, but add it currently doesn't work on tablets, I bit the bullet and bought it. Well worth the expense at $4.
It's working on tablets

Thanks for this thread.
I actually acquired the SlideIT for my Samsung Galaxy i9000 mobile device & have a very strange issue with it.
Since yesterday, I have been using the "h*ck*d" version I found on Applanet and it was running greatly - so, as I was very satisfied with it I decided to support the developer and buy the official version
Well - I uninstalled my Applanet version, bought, downloaded and installed the official Market version - .. but it would not run properly.
Although the default language is set as "English", whenever I swype an English term, the keyboard suddenly comes up only with "??" instead of a proper word suggestion. But it used to work with the other version I had from Applanet.
* I have checked the settings, no other Keyboard is ticked
* I have checked the language setting yes - English is set as "Primary Language"
* I thought I might have to install the English language pack, but it is not available in the Market how come? German, Dutch, etc. everything there, but no English
Anyone else has experienced similar or different troubles with SlideIT (official version)?
I'd be thankful for any help.
I got the SlideIT keyboard working fine on the Archos 101. Though fine doesn't mean "without issues." First, the keys on the right side while in landscape mode are somewhat shaved off. Second...the keyboard is FRICKEN HUGE! I mean seriously, it is ridiculously huge...like the clown shoes of on-screen keyboards.
I think I will keep pestering the people over on the Swype forums to make their keyboard work on tablets. LOL
I have used Swype for a long time on my pocket pc but haven't been as happy with it on the Archos 70. I saw this video on youtube comparing Swype and FlexT9. I have to say I prefer T9 and the speech to text works surprising good. Try it for yourself it was around five bucks. I can't post the link so do a search on youtube FlexT9.

What, the link is down?
Did it get xda'd? lol
Been using it for a few weeks.. Skinable and very easy to type with. In fact you can just slide your finger around and let go when you see the key you are looking for highlited..
Another thing you should look into is PocketCM...

CONTACTS replacement!!! I like this even more then their keyboard solution.. Imagine the iPhone contacts slide you see everywhere, and you have pocketCM. One of the best features is the A-Z on the left side to quick jump.

How do you install this on hermes w/WM6? When I go into settings / input and change to PCM keyboard it says " Pocket CM keyboard has to be the current sip in order to configure it? what do I do?
Just click the little triangle beside your keyboard icon (bottom middle of bar) and select PCM Keyboard. That should do it...
i have been using the pocket CM k/b since yesterday and ts a quantum leap forward from any other k/b that is available. Its a must have for any Windows mobile user. It works on all PPC phones!
There is also a contact manager from the same author. You can use your fingers to scroll through and select contacts. I use that as well. It works great! It is called pocketCM. URL: http://www.pocketcm.com/index.php
I've installed it and it shows up in the list of available input devices but selecting it does nothing at all. The keyboard doesn't change visually onscreen and if I check the current input device it still shows the standard keyboard.
I can go into it's options and play around with things but if I change the Input Method to PCM Keyboard and click OK, it still doesn't switch over.
Running Schap's WM6 Pro 3.60a ROM.
Tried soft resets, tried installing to main memory and to storage.
Running 0.6 version.

same problem here
What a bummer.
Too bad the Hermes doesn't have either a slide out keyboard, Block Recognizer, Letter Recognizer or Transcriber.

I don't think sarcasm is called for; this looks like a neat keyboard that works better than the stock one for those times that you dont want to slide out or use the stylus.

Strange, I installed it on my 8525 (see sig for ROM info), and it worked fine. Of course my fat fingers don't let me use it all too well... But then again, I have the same problems with an iPhone and even the slide-out keyboard on the Hermes. I actually find the Letter Recognizer to work quite well for me, but it's a matter of personal preference (I was a big fan of Graffiti on the Palm, but Graffiti 2 was abysmal.)

Is there anyway to make this the default keyboard? When i reset my phone, it goes back to the standard keyboard
I'm in love with this keyboard! I had downloaded and installed the first version a couple weeks ago and liked it enough to use occaisonally. I felt like it had great potential and just needed a little polishing. But this new version, .6, is awesome! Perfect. I'm gonna use it all the time except when typing sms with the palm threaded app. I'll slide out the hardware keyboard on my hermes for that.
As soon as someone fixes the palm threaded app so that the SIP keyboard doesn't cover up the text you're inputting, I'll use this new PCMkeyboard there, too. And I'll send a hefty donation to that person that fixes the palm app.
donation on the way to this PCM guy, too.
Does anyone know if this keyboard supports other languages' input methods?
Under the options, there's a select box for "Keyboard layout" which includes:
Czech
English
Francais
German
Polish
Russian
Spanish
I'm no pro when it comes to these things but I have read a fair amount on here when it comes to these things, but I'm confused so hopefully someone can clarify..
I've got my new Compact 3 from T-mobile and I really can't stand the qwerty keyboard. It works fine with the stylus but it's just not any good for finger typing. I quite like the Touch version where the keys are quite a bit larger, so here's the question..
is it possible to get another input keyboard working on this device without the need for a replacement rom? I'm happy with the officla T-mobile WM6 version I upgraded to at the weekend.
http://www.cootek.com/
This one is good and free at the moment.
what will happen with the standard keyboard? will I still have choice to use the small keys one?
is there a way to add the touch keyboard but with Russian layout/letters without changing the rom?
I use resco keyboard, it's commercial but I haven't found any other keyboard for that price/features. It supports Russian and about 20 other languages. It seems to be working a little slower than other keyboards but not that much.
Try this one:

It's a very good keyboard, with tons of features, for me the big keys are a must-have.

I second this one, once you practice and get used to it, works very well.
This is the first time I bumped into this issue, and I must admit it sucks
Here's the deal, in every single phone I had I've used the phone (UI) in english, and wrote text in spanish using Itap.
My last phone (nokia 5800) had no problems with that.
With this new one, Moto Defy, I see there's no way to change the UI language, and the auto-prediction separately.
I thought it had to do with the fact that Android by default doesn't have a T9 like keyboard for text input so I downloaded a couple of apps for that but all have the same issue, they work fine, but they keep using the language for auto-prediction set in Settings (which is English, for the UI)
Does anybody know how I could accomplish this?
Hope somebody can help =)
Regards!
I had your same issue and I solved it using "htc ime mod keyboard"; you can find it here on xda forum, not on the market (therefore you have to manually install it).
It's fully customizable, has T9 prediction, supports many languages.
Infact I configured the volume button to quickly switch between 2 languages that I use.

thanks, i've tested it and tried but it feels somewhat slow to me :S
I'm really picky when it comes to typing speed so maybe it's just me. I'll see what I can do but thanks =)
I've been hoping for something like Swype for a while, and now with the 3.25 beta it works on my A43. Now, if only it had a hexagonal ATOMIK layout instead of that silly QWERTY one! (But there are patent issues with the ATOMIK layout.)
Yeah, it also works on the 101 now.
Only problem:
The language settings don't show all languages that are listed as supported in the offical resoulution / language table.
As an example, German is missing. (Don't know about all others)

I have swype on my HTC Legend phone.
I think swype on a A101 is difficult.
I use the multiling-keyboard which has 'big' keys for easy touch.
hmmm
im not really a fan of swype
ive downloaded flex t9 and i use that on all my devices
it does have swype like abilities but i feel its better
just my opinion
I used swipe but found swiftkey better for me. Use on both SGS & 101
Just intalled it on my 101... REALLY liking this new version (wasn't a big fan of the older version).
Is it supposed to be centered like that and not taking up the whole screen, or is that just a problem on our devices?
Either way, seems to be working very welll!
Using thumb keyboard loving it

Yes, German is missing. Strangely some people in German forums got it working anyway. Don't know how they did it.
Hi.
I've made this thread due to alot of posts (including my own) asking for Samsung Keyboard for AOSP/AOKP, since it's to possible to use on these ROMs.
I wanted to make a GUIDE to help find the best alternatives to the Samsung Keyboard or other stock keyboards in general. My own reason to want the Samsung Keykoard is only due to layout + T9 Dictionary in my native language, Danish.
I hope that most people afterwards can make find a better alternative, that can be installed on to their custom rom as a apk or though Play.
If you got a a favorite keyboard, then please post or pm me, then I will add it to the list. Please provide download url aswell.
Keyboards tried and tested untill now:
Swift keyboard is definitely the best. It's word-guessing is incredible and it only costs 2-3$... Very satisfied so far
AI Keyboard - Nice, but doesn't support danish dictionary.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5haXR5cGUuYW5kcm9pZCJd)
MultiLing Keyboard is nice, but it seems a bit weird with word-guessing.
Found free on market. And there is alot of dictionaries to download aswell.
iPhone keyboard has poor word-guessing in my native language (danish)
I will keep this thread updated when I try out more and get feedback from you guys.
SwiftKey 3 beta, best I ever tried
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
+1 on A.I keyboard, love it.
iPhone Keyboard, so far the best keyboard i used on android, installs through market.
Different Keyboards as well!!
There is so much to change and play with.
Do other keyboards support Swype?
