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.

+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.
Better Keyboard 8

+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"
Dont know if the title made any sense whatsoever but heres a screenshot of what I want....or something close.
The app I am using for the keyboard has this option but I like the ICS keyboard better and would like to keep that one for typing.

how did you get your signal bars like that?
Using BAMF ROM. Go to their official website and its a battery icon mod. Those guys over at BAMF are working their asses off and putting out a quality product for all of us to enjoy! Cant thank them enough.

there's an app for that... go to the play store and search for an app called perfect keyboard. don't remember if it costs anything but not only can you choose the 123 board as an option, you can also theme the keyboard and resize it to match your current theme. try it out!
Hey auto thanks for the reply but the screenshot that I posted foes the same thing. But I actually was trying to stay away from using a third party keyboard. Wanted yo mow if a dev could implement the number pad within the stock ics keyboard. But thanks for the suggestion though. I will try our perfect if all else fails. I used to use better keyboard with the old android but ics keyboard rocks!

I knew about that... As he said, I don't want third party apps. I am looking for something REALLY simple. A numeric keypad, just like the stock one when you open something that request it (when you're setting the time on Alarm app). Maybe a tweak to make it user openable?

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
So I decided to try out the Google Keyboard and it looked stupid huge. The keys are crazy huge and there's no option to scale it to the screen, or add a number row or anything. Any other keyboards you guys have used that still look nice?

Look for thumb keyboard in Google play. Does what u are looking for

I personally prefer Kii Keyboard. It's fully customizable and themable, you can change the size of the keys, the whole keyboard, how the keyboard works, etc. It's got all the functionality of the Google Keyboard and more too. Totally worth the cash, and it works with every keyboard theme out there that I've tried.

I actually like the stock Samsung keyboard with the number row. However, I also have had SwiftKey installed on all my Android device for a couple of years now.
TouchPal all the way.. it has everything u want in a keyboard

I've been using Swiftkey since S3 came out. I know you can change the size with this one.
swiftkey over everything.... touchpal isnt nearly as accurate as swiftkey
I do agree with all you guys. . swiftkey is the business!
I did find one thing out, though. Samsung keyboard is using swift Key flow. thats why the predictions & swiping have been on point.
Now, only if we can shorten the press and hold delay on samsung keyboard...

I have both TouchPal X and Swiftkey, TouchPal X kicks a** for a free keyboard.... I paid for Swiftkey, but after flashing a ROM I find myself installing and using TouchPal X now. Maybe I should give Swiftkey another shot, it's been a while...

Im using Swiftkey Tablet edition and I like how it splits the keyboard when I rotate my phone. Also think it has one of the best predictive text options out. :good:
My favorite keyboard has been Hacker's Keyboard for a while now. It is great for terminal/remote desktop as it has all the control and modifier keys. Also has a real PC-like layout with number row, arrows, punctuation, and tab with a numpad, home/ins/del block, F keys, and more on the second page. Also very customizable. I don't like autocorrect or suggestions so a good basic keyboard is perfect for me. It's open source as well.

I flashed this keyboard and I love it. Smooth and fast.
Been using Swype since Nexus One. Tried the samsung board and liked the row of digits, but punctuation is quicker with swype for me.

Anyone have preferences/experiences of the stock Samsung 4.3 TW keyboard vs Swiftkey?
SwiftKey makes your typing better... The more you type words with it the more it adapts to your own liking.. I've been using it for over a year and I don't have to do alot of typing... I just press the words predicted one after another and txtn has never been easier... Its worth every penny

I like parts of all of them If SwiftKey could have the numbers as their own separate row above the letters like the stock TW keyboard... well, there would just be no competition... unless Swype had that too :

Swiftkey 4.5 Beta has emojis and a numbers row. So far working great!
I've actually been using Kii keyboard...it has improved a ton since it's initial release. Swiftkey still has better predictions..Swype still has better swiping...Kii is kind of in between the 2 (for me anyway)
Swift
