Im coming from the Evo and was dearly missing the Sense keyboard. Got SwiftX Keyboard and it has pretty much made me happy. A little different then the sense KB, but very good, give it a try.
Go to market
search "gingerbread keyboard"
should be the first one.
after download, hit menu > settings > keyboards
enable gingerbread keyboard
go to somewhere where you can type. long press the message bar, hit "input method", choose gingerbread keyboard.
done.
GB keyboard is the best kb out imo. looks great works even better
Actually, the samsung keyboard is supposed to be a skinned version of stock gbread keyboard with a little feature tweaking. When I typed on it yesterday it seemed to behave exactly the same way.

I like how the stock gingerbread keyboard allows you to delete the entire voice statement without deleting it manually 1 by 1

This.
Tried BetterKB, Gingerbread, Swype, SlideIt, Ultra, but SmartKeyb pro is easily the best for me.
Personally HTC IME Mod is the best fit for me, nice big buttons, and plenty of useful features, like moving through text with the volume rocker or even much needed spell check for the hardware KB.

Agree. Swype is the fastest and easiest for me. You do have to have good spelling to get the best result out of it though!

Can keyboards be combined? For instance Gingerbread with Swype
Shapewriter. It's like Swype, done right. I find Swype to be way too inaccurate, and I dislike the popup. Shapewriter is more accurate and has a bar of word suggestions above the keyboard rather than a popup.
It was pulled from the market when Nuance bought out the developer, but you can still find it fairly easily (as in, linked in the forums at www.shapewriter.com).
It is always one of my first installs, along with Handcent and Androzip.
I love the size and spacing of the Samsung Keyboard, but I really miss the auto-correct.
I've tried a number of other keyboards but they all have the keys too close together. I have Better Keyboard 8 with a number of Skins, a few Gingerbread keyboards, Swype (of course)...
Any ideas?
Sorry mods - wrong forum - can you move to Themes and Apps?
Samsung keyboard does have auto correction, you have to enabled it in settings, its called xt9, also go into xt9 advanced settings to enable other settings.
I use smart keyboard pro. Has skin to look like any keyboard plus the characters pop up so you can see what you're typing and it has auto correct

I would suggest using swiftkey, best keyboard ive used imo.
Stock keyboard isn't too bad with xt9 on, but current keyboard of choice is the thumb keyboard beta from these very forums. Worth a try.
Swiftkey is second choice for me though.

Thanks for that suggestion for thumb keyboard just trying it out and seems very good, I can type pretty fast using this keyboard and it seems fast.

Thanks for all this advice. I've tried out Smart Keyboard and Swiftkey. I like that they both give clear options when I use voice input but what has sold me on Smart Keyboard is that it also has a Retry button after voice input if you don't find a match for what you dictated. I couldn't see that Swiftkey has that. Quicker than cancelling the entry and then clicking on the voice input button again.
Apart from that, I couldn't say that one is better than the other. I haven't done a lot of testing so I cannot say if one is more accurate than the other on finding the right words.

I have always used Swiftkey but Im not sure if anyone else has experienced the missing word correction/choices bar in landscape mode on same apps on the S2. Its there on handcent and messaging apps but not on the default email client. This was never a problem on my desire. Has anyone else experienced this?

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.

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

So, if Better Keyboard was pulled then can I share it? If so, PM me and I will get it to you

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.

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 heard there was a big improvement to the keyboard from JB. Since I am on Samsung, how can I convert to use the JB keyboard instead of Samsung?
is there a way to program from the keyboard to automatically predict the next word, instead of having to hit the suggestions?
Just use SwiftKey keyboard 3. It's the best.

It might be part of the GAPOS 4.2. Check in the theme section. Once you have the app installed, you can change the what keybaord to use in the setting.
