It is much better than swype. I wonder why they don't advertise the fact that swype made it.

This Windows 7 styled keyboard

It's been my favorite for a long time because you can customize the size of the keys and their spacing, though I find that the defaults are just right for the 4.5 inch screen. Can switch between Dark and White.

ahh just like the WARM Z board...perfect man thanks...dood u gonna be hooking us up wit some themes at some point?
I like
A.I TYPE keyboard
I just use GO keyboard. I think i use the iphone theme with my own background with some transparency. I like being able to customize it, and it was free. I didn't like the feel of it at first but I got used to it. It's definitely better than stock at least.
I use anysoft keyboard. I suppose I can get a wireless physical one.

I'm glad this sparked a moderate conversation on what keyboards others use. Based off what's been said here, I'm going to try each of them out.

You realize that since you aren't using touchwiz, you are missing gpu accelerated ui - meaning more battery drain and less smoothness?
sorry. I must be mentally impaired and didn't see that.

I actually prefer the nuance blue theme for thumb KB even though its nothing like the ics theme and doesn't have to do with the open but since you bring it up ;-)
There is also now a 3rd version in the market now by some other dude. I've tried the version in this thread and the version posted in the other. The only difference I see is this one has the themes enabled.

The first devices (besides the Nexus S, which you can already get from Koush’s section on ROM Manager) that we’ll have ready will mostly likely be devices based on OMAP4, MSM8660/7X30, and Exynos
Also, if you scroll down and look at the comments:

God, I hope we get CM7 during the 7.2 update, I need to be rid of touchwiz already.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
I have to agree. I am new to the E4GT but not to modding. I came from the USCC Mesmerize and it had CM7 and a pretty much fully functional ICS ROM. I was so used to AOSP that the thought of Touchwiz made me shiver. I do have to say that the Dev's for this phone have done some amazing things with Touchwiz though. Running Calkulins ROM and am truly amazed at how smooth it is. I would love to see an AOSP selection for this phone. If its anything like the Mesmerize then CM7 would be the logical choice to get working as it would provide the Dev's and solid MTD base to do ICS or CM9 off of. any way just my thoughts on the subject. I am very pleased with the Modding community for this phone. Looks like you all have some extremely talented Dev's. I look forward to what they release in the future.

agreed. sometimes i feel like using my evo again just so i can have cm7
Touchwiz is a launcher...it can be deleted, easily. I don't get the hate on touchwiz. I don't like it, so, I delete it and use another launcher. Its not like Sense.
I love cyanogen too, but, touchwiz has nothing to do with why.

Tw 4 has been fairly decent but can't wait for cm 7 and 9 to truly show what this phone is capable of.... it runs pretty fast with Tw when we get hardware acceleration in cm 9 ... wow

Lol TW4 is hardware accelerated as well. ICS just carriers the acceleration everywhere and deeper.

I personay feel that Touchwiz is OK. I just prefer a more pure Google experience. Now Touchwiz on the Galaxy S was horrible but this new Touchwiz seems pretty decent. But I welcome the chance to get an AOSP ROM on this thing and see what its truely capable of.

I don't understand the hate on TW either, it's just a launcher and I deleted it, I use ADW Ex so it never bothers me.

Twiz is more than just a launcher it is a complete is overlay. It changes some of the options in settings and among other things... I prefer also because I love how simple but intricate it is.

Sounds like the CM9 team will get ICS on our E4T sooner than later

Bring it on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm looking forward to CM9. My last 3 phones had CM7 on them. Getting a little stale. At least running the nightly roms kept me interested. I got rid of my EVO at nightly 260ish. Damn that's a lot builds! I just flashed the ones people gave rave reviews of.

I'm not convinced that it's anything more than a launcher. Different things in the settings screens are a reflection of the rom so far as I understand it.
However I am open to being wrong if you have information to the contrary.

I think its funny how ppl wt samsung phones want sont launchers and vice versa.
When I fist got the sgsII I was like man Touch wiz is awesome,I dont know what everyone is *****ing about,but now Im like Tw huh lol
But the T-989 no regrets here it will be a while "I think" before I'll be looking for a newer device. The note is nice but im 5'9" and 150 lbs it looks like I have a 10" tablet on my hip
Do any of those launchers support ICS style folders? I'm running ADW launcher mostly for that reason. I don't really use the fancy transitions and all of that.
