Using it on the SGS?

Working great on the captivate
the keyboard is working great on the Samsung Captivate. No issues thus far.

The one ported to Nexus one does not install for me.
Can you please tell me where you got it from?

I got it from the page linked - have you allowed non market apps to be allowed on your phone?
(Settings -> Programs -> Allow Unknown Sources)

Yes I have this checkbox marked.. also I have Root access on my SGS.
Strange... whould realy like to try the droid x keyboard..
Thanks for the reply Culturelol!

The stock samsung keyboard is also multitouch, you can also do the shift+letter for capital trick

I like the stock Samsung keyboard the keys are smaller so i find i make less mistakes.

Just got that installed on my SGS and it works great. Typing is a lot faster than the Samsung multi touch keyboard. However the prediction and suggestion when tping is not as good as the other input method, is there any way to improve this? Thanks.

Is it true that it doesn't have auto correct? I am awful at spelling

It does, but the dictionary has some weird entries so some words don't correct properly. For the most part it is fine though!

Hey...where did you download yours from...cause I installed it on my samsung vibrant and the keyboard works fine but the size of he letters on the keyboard are super small...did you have that happening to you?

I'm very much reliant on Swype now. It even remembers words that aren't English (I use Tagalog a lot). How much does this stack up to Swype? Or am I comparing Apples and Oranges here... or Bananas and Oranges? LOL

Looking for a better keyboard

The Samsung keyboard is seriously getting on my nerves so I'm looking for keyboard recommendations. Please post what keyboard you use and what you like/dislike about it. Thanks!

gingerbread free keyboard from the market is the best ive found, only thing is the letters dont have symbols like ? ! on them, but I can live with that for free

My new favourite keyboard is Perfect Keyboard! It is exactly as the name implies. Perfect.
Regards.

I love swiftkey x beta. Its proper nice

+1, free until beta expires in August.
Other good keyboards are Thumb keyboard and Smart Keyboard both of which I've used as well.

I perfer Smart Keyboard. Quite costumizeable. Try it and buy the pro version if you like it!

I'm new to swiftkey x beta and liking it a lot so thanks for the heads up.
But.... the correction and suggestions don't work in the stock email app which is a bit of a bummer. Its sooo much better than the stock samsung keyboard.
Might go ask on the swiftkey web page if no one here has any quick and easy fix.
Edit: Found this is common for after market keyboards on the i9100 email app Have also sent question to swiftkey
Wish there was an easy way to change the keyboard when in an app without going to home screen. On my i8000 running froyo i used to be able to hold the settings button the keyboard and the keyboard choices came up. Any way to access the choise of keybaord easily??????

SlideIT ftw.

+1 on that. It's simple and does what it's supposed to do well. Plus, if you search the I9000 forum, you'll find some nice skins, yes it's free and you can change the skin color!

Smart Keyboard has been my favourite for quite some time now. Plus I like the keyboard being a little longer as I find I hit the '.' so many times on the samsung keyboard and others. Its got a very good intuitive learning dictionary (think you have to turn it on first in settings).

Smart keyboard is great and has a lot of customization to it.
Personally love Swift Key. Can pretty much type a message only using the space bar.

My opinion atm is: Swiftkey X beta > SlideIT > Swype

I personally like Smart Keyboard pro the most. Also the gingerbread keyboard is good but not that good.
I don't know about Skype. I am trying to learn it but somehow it just seems bad..so slow and annoying. Just more practice needed?

+1 for smart keyboard. Tried the different keyboards when I got my nexus one and just felt that the smart keyboard where right for me. It has the feature that makes iPhone keyboard so great that it makes the letters bigger by prediction of what word you are typing "behind the scene"

[Q] HTC keyboard as a stand alone app?

Thanku!

htc apps just work in sense envoiroment... i asked the same question for gallery... and maybe some of the devs could port it somehow but i guess it is too much work, for not that great outcome...
You should try the swiftkey x, i changed my htc keyboard with it, and later the cyanogenmod default one ... It is really good, and also has good predictions, learning and so on ...

If it's worth any, I always recommend Swype. You only have to register to get an official download link. It works great, I type much faster with it and it also supports a few languages.

Don't know if they can be removed but there's loads of alternative keyboards in play. some of which have arrows, some don't and some are switch-able.

I agree with you, i hate those arrows, why they put it there dont understand.
also if someone using alternate keyboard tell us which is the best option!!

SwiftKey is definitely my favourite keyboard. Is great at predicting next word by learning from previous text and email messages. Has really increased my writing speed.

I've tried swiftkey but I have to say, I think TouchPal is way better. The first time you do the tutorial you'll be amazed at all the shortcuts and clever features .

Did you try this?

Just tried it and it seems very promising. For now, I just miss a Danish dictionary but I'm certain it'll come eventually.

This rom > Charmander v 5.0 Has options in 'Tweaks' to remove the arrows, and has alot of other great tweaks and gives immense battery life, I've got it flashed now, very good, would recommend; especially as you can remove the arrows.

So if you make a misstake you can move to it without trying to frantically press over and over to get to the right place.

I was using Smart Keyboard Pro, mainly because if I selected slovak (which is my first language) I could see a fourth row of keys with our special characters and I didn't have to wait until longpress. It was a pretty fast and accurate keyboard. With HTC One X I'm using Swiftkey, it is just faster as Smart Keyboard Pro, and the dictionary and prediction is a little bit more accurate.
But I must admit, that the HTC's keyboard on HOX is pretty good, tried to use it for a while and the typing experience was great. Also the trace function was working quite well. Don't know about the arrows, but they keep showing up and disappearing based on apps in which they were used.

They put it there for people like me who live in a country with two official languages being used both at the same time.
There are alternate keyboards. Don't hate the arrows. I love them.

Yop exactly for this(except the 2 official languages part, I just type in 2 languages, English and Slovak) I have Swiftkey I am using 2 languages at the same time without the need of switching (no buttons nada, just typing away) which is awesome.
OT @Ondro, yeah but it says Home Country not where you currently reside , at least that's how I understood it. Doesn't matter anyway

how are the arrows helping with writing in two different languages? I'm writing in three languages (Slovak, German, English) and I didn't see any use to those arrows, except for moving between input fields or moving in the text itself.
Swiftkey has it solved with a far more better solution, it is simply giving you predictions in all three (or two) languages at a time.
@PAGOT - I changed it was thinking it was my operators country

I don't think you can get the keyboard itself, but if you just want the look then you can install a 3rd-party keyboard with a Sense theme. Go Keyboard comes to mind.

why do you cry about such a small thing like a keyboard man... you have lots of options best would be SwiftKey3

I'm already using it in mt HTC DHD, and it's working without any problem, 1st because I'm using arabic keyboard, second for arrow. I can't working in any rom without install it. You can also replace system keyboard with HTC one. Just as simple as extract the language you want with Input method and place it in /system/app. Give correct permissions.
If u need it, tell me which lang do u need. I have Latest OneX and it's working on my HTC DHD and S3
