Better keyboard

Has anyone been able to install better keyboard from the market? I even tried by direct link and I got item couldn't be found. I have a titanium backup of it, but haven't tried it since I have no root.
The unlocker for better keyboard 7/8 doesn't show up for me either.

If you send me your email I can send you the apk to the dark gingerbread keyboard I've been using from the sensation 4g forums. I think it's better than the stock Samsung one.

Here is a pic

ive installed better keyboard and smart keyboard. they are both better than the stock. its quite disappointing

Ya it does more a lil more than the other to but works for me

Better keyboard was removed about 2 weeks ago. The developer got sick of google pulling his apps. If you have a TB backup gran androzip and open the TB folder. In ther find the better keyboard zip and extract it. Then yoh can install the apk. Do the same for the unlocker. Did mine this way and works great

go to market
search "gingerbread keyboard"
download and install
go to menu > settings > keyboards
enable gingerbread keyboard
go to somewhere where you can type text
press text box, select "input method"
change to gingerbread keyboard.
that's what I did until we get some themed keyboards or a port for the htc_ime (which is the best aftermarket keyboard that doesn't cost money)

I like using SwiftKey, 3. Colors and predicts your words for you.

Swift key x is what I'm using and I love it!

The Nexus S 4G Swype 3.25 version is pretty sexy, and helps save battery life due to its majority black styles. Check it out.
You can Google for the link, and find it easily.

TouchPal Keyboard, Check it out!!

Made a full review video of the TouchPal Keyboard!! DEFINITELY something you want to check out!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJUWFEXxJaI

Nice intro and review.
I used touch pal for a bit over a week. I love how it handles regular typing, the key popups are nice, and the number and punctuation swiping is terrific. On the other hand I think Swype handles correction better, and the auto spacing is kind of wonky sometimes. This leaves me wishing for a hybrid between the two keyboards. Get to work Swype devs!

Yeah it is nice I am using it now I think it is more accurate than a Swype needs to themed though I like the look of Swype better but I like more of the functionality of TouchPal

This keyboard is nice but like above I wish it could be themed. Also, wish you could get rid of the configuration buttons on the top part of the keyboard.

I just tried this keyboard but its not multi touch like the ice cream sandwich which makes it slow when you're typing with two fingers and has a subtle lag that you can feel.
You can press up to 4 letters at a time with the ice cream sandwich keyboard.
Good find never the less as its a good keyboard.

I have never been a fan of Swype...I don't like its accuracy, look, or use. I have been a huge fan of Shapewriter and I believe that is the best swype keyboard out there. I am currently on TouchPal and I really like. It comes in second in my book next to shapewriter. I like the caps options for both shapewriter and touchpal, although there is one extra step on touchpal. I REALLY like the swipe up and swipe down method for numbers and punctuation marks...I really like it... sure that further developments will make it even better!

I will cheek out this keyboard thanks (=

Thanks for the reccomendation
I've been using my E4GT for about 1 month now, and I gotta say my text/email/sms life just became so much easier with this app. Good looking out and hope you win the prize for posting the youtube vid.

I installed this keyboard to use it (duh) then I got this
"This input method from TouchPal Keyboard application may collect all the text you type, including passwords, credit card numbers and other personal data"
Should I be paranoid? HAHA

It says that any time you install a new input app.

Yep, same goes for installing the newest Swype beta (much better than stock, imho).

Keyboards

Im looking for skins or themed keyboards.
I seen a couple in some of the new roms put out lately but when I move over the axt9ime.apk its not changed from the stock look.
Anyone know of any?

What keyboard are you currently using?

Topic. Just curious.
Apple just give up the IPHONE sucks deal with it.

I keep switching between Swiftkey and AOSP keyboard. Swiftkey is nice but sometimes it finishes a word before I want it to and it adds something "working ng". It's somewhat annoying and the fact that you have to select exactly behind the entire word, otherwise it'll fix the word from everyone before the pointer. (for example, when I'm typing and I notice I spelt "tpying" wrong, I'll select the word by tapping and let's say I tap right behind the y, well, the prediction fix will say "typing" so I press that and it makes it into "typing ing", which is definitely not what I wanted.)
I like the simplicity of the AOSP keyboard although it's predictions aren't as smart as Swiftkey.

I'm still using the ics keyboard the response time is so much smoother than what I get from other keyboards plus voice recognition for texting so much better and faster. I tried swpye but it's get annoying after a while plus the default one with jellybean has no voice input feature I had to download the latest swype beta which is not all that great either. So I'm sticking with the ics keyboard for now.

I don't know what it is about SwiftKey, but I really, really don't like it. I like the stock Samsung keyboard the best, but it's unusable for me since it doesn't have autocorrect. Therefore, I'm using the Android 4.2 keyboard.

I would get android 4.2 keyboard but I bricked my phone this past weekend trying to cwm recovery to flash it. And you can't flash it with twrp for some reason. I also tried manually installing which didn't work either. Idk. I really like SwiftKey 3 though. It's perfect for me.

I really don't like keyboards that cant use finger dragging for input. I like swype but have been using the Android 4.2 keyboard for the past few days. I like the 4.2 with the swyping function but still have to play with it a bit before it's a keeper. It has some things I don't like as far as a few common things on the second keyboard screen. A comma is one of them. I might be able to change this but have not tried at all....wait...the comma is also there if I hold down the period key.

Right now I'm using Smart Keyboard Pro with a hot pink theme. I love keyboards that ur able to theme cuz I'm a pink-a-holic! I know Swiftkey has a pinkish type theme, but my fav pink color is bubble gum or hot pink. If Swiftkey ever gets a pink color theme like those I'd definitely switch back to it cuz that is one awesome keyboard. The auto-correction/predictions is out of this world fabulous!

I really like this gray with neon green theme. It looks very clean and the keys have a sort of blackberry look to them which is a very clean look that I'm quite fond of.
