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.

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.

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

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.

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
Hi all!

well, you have some options in the market, i'm using "smart keyboard", with iphone skin, right now. i think it is way better than froyo kb or even gingerbread. you can try "better keyboard" too, also a really good choice!

Only Swype, dark is the nicest I think!
I have used HTC keyboard, Swype, Gingerbread, better keyboard and many more and I really don't have a preference. I find typing on any Sense-skinned ROM to be kind of laggy. The stock Gingerbread that comes with MIUI is probably the most responsive. I am currently using Virtuous Unity with the Sense keyboard, and it works for me. Swype is very good also, but for some reason I deleted it. I kind of like pecking away at a peice of glass with my fingers..
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.

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??????

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.

Are you looking for something specific? If you're not looking for a specific one, there are a ton of 3rd party keyboards in the Play Store.
actually i have been a non-sense ICS rom and the keyboard was just perfect except for the smiley key, which i wanted to replace with the return key
is this possible? can i get such a keyboard?

If you're willing to do a little extra for your keyboard, I suggest you take the time to register, download and instal Swype. I've had it ever since I got my phone, and I find it better than swiftkey! It's a long and tedious process, yes, but it is definitely worth the effort..

It predicts so many words and gets better over time by learning your typical vocabulary.

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.
