Gingerbread Keyboard for Rooted Devices
Gingerbread Keyboard is out for the DroidX and Droid2. Are there any developers that can help get it ported to the Incredible??
I flashed it and it works on the inc too.
Roger that, its working for me. Its taking a bit to get used to the keys in landscape mode though. They seem a bit flat.

I'm not really feeling the stock Samsung keyboard and I've been searching for a successful port of the HTC/Sense keyboard for the S3 with no luck.
It seems as if I'll have to find a comparable or better replacement. Any suggestions?
(BTW, my phone is rooted so there are no issues with flashing anything.)
Try SwiftKey 3! That's epic keyboard with best word reach speed.
It's radicolous in GPlay and probably best keyboard with international support.

Another +1 for SwiftKey3. I switched over to it about six months ago and haven't even thought about looking for another one.
Tried a bunch, keep coming back to swiftkey
I downloaded original stock ICS keyboard works the best no problems
There's something wrong with swiftkey 3 for me.
I could start typing a sentence and it would end up looking like this : The quick brown fox jumped over the fefefefefefefefefefefefefefefefefefefefefefe.
And once I'm in that lock, pressing backspace will just add more. Doesn't happen often but it's annoying.

SwiftKey is the choice for me, using it for a few months and I really can't see myself using anther, I can type super sloppy and still write perfectly.
I can sometimes type without even looking, for short texts or things like that

+1 on SwiftKey
I'm sure this topic has been discussed before but I want to know which keyboard you guys like more? I like the fact you can use the Samsung keyboard in one handed mode, but the flow through space function is neat on SwiftKey Flow. I also think that the prediction is a bit better than the stock keyboard.

The stock keyboard doesn't auto replace. That alone makes it completely unusable for me. Swiftkey is what I use, and flow makes it easier to use with one hand...
Yeah I have to agree with you, and the predictions that SwiftKey does is top notch. I am also a fan of the number pad.

Same here, if the stock keyboard had a auto correct, i wouldn't need to look around for an alternative keyboard. It's just a shame that swiftkey doesn't work in all text boxes (ie. play store searching)
Which version of SwiftKey BETA are you guys using? I downloaded the standard version, but there is also a tablet version. I have SwiftKey X Tablet version, as I think it's better than the regular one for the Note.
I tried both the regular and tablet version of SwiftKey a couple of weeks ago and both looked pretty much the same, apparently the tablet functions are not enabled on the Note II. I decided against them at the time because they did not have swipe.
Installed SwiftKey Flow Beta yesterday morning (standard, not tablet, based on past experience and it was stated that landscape does not work yet in tablet beta version) and LOVE IT, it's definitely a keeper. Have been using it extensively and have not run into any apparent issues yet (including in Google Play search box, it works fine for me).
I'm a swiftkey user but hadn't been using it as I wanted to see if I could get used to the handwriting recognition on the stock keyboard. That didn't work too well for me so I started using flow. I'm on the international rom in the dev section and it has the 4.2 keyboard. The flow works very well, the autospacing took a little while to get used, I found myself running words together. I was surprised how good the word recognition was and the predictions were pretty good too. I just installed the Swiftkey beta and the spacing is much better as you just glide over the space bar. I like the keyboard layout better with the long press for the symbols. SwiftKey is the winner for me but the stock 4.2 keyboard is not bad at all.
is it possible to use something like Tasker to automate the switch from swiftkey to stock Samsung keyboard when you activate multiview?
I mainly use swiftkey as my default but i switch to the samsung keyboard in multiview since I can move it around. it'd be awesome if this process could be automated.
Does any one know how to turn on the flow function one in the keyboard? Because it seems when you just type the letters it turns off.

Thanks. Pretty much my experience, too. I current have both versions installed. Didn't see a difference, so based on what you stated, I guess I'll uninstall the tablet version.
Flow seems really good... it's just that I don't know how to be very fluid with it. There's a bit of a learning curve — at least for me. I love the fact that you don't really ever have to lift your finger off of the keypad, but I find that doesn't seem very practical in most situations. Sometimes it gets a complete sentence right ... other times it will start to get it right, but at the last second change up into something totally different ... and other times it doesn't come close. So until I get figure out how to get it right most of the time, that edge over Swype isn't really there in that regard, but I find the auto-prediction and spelling corrections much better than anything Swype has to offer.
When someone release a rom for our phone with the Android 4.2 keyboard then I'll be sticking with that.

Noticed your OMEGA tag Wookie. Do you got the ATT / Rogers variant of the Note 2? If so how'd you get the Omega rom running on the phone? Tried earlier today and almost bricked my phone

SwiftKey Flow gets my vote for sure. With the feedback from beta it can only get better.
honestly I dont like swiftkey nor samsung keyboard. I fell in love with the modded 4.2 keyboard

Does anyone have suggestion for a keyboard that autocorrects? (maybe the stock android keyboard?) I'm running Jedi but the autocorrect doesn't automatically replace the mis-spelled words I have to manually click on the suggestion, and it doesn't come with the stock keyboard.
Jelly bean keyboard pro. Working good for me. With auto correct.

Stock aosp keyboard is the way to go. Google android 4.2 keyboard apk and just install it like any other app.
Sent from my SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Another option would be SwiftKey 3 which is on sale right now. I was a little bit hesitant to buy a keyboard when the stock one was so good. However, the auto correct was a big deal for me. You're right in that the others have to be manually selected. Even more so, if you accidentally start the word with a number, it then has no idea. However, with SwiftKey, everything is good to go. I am actually able to type without even looking. Part of this is due to skill at typing in general but the rest of it is how amazingly accurate the correction is. Just my two cents.

SwiftKey is a great keyboard and time saver. Been using it since the original beta.

Swiftkey is great and its prediction is near telepathic once you've used it a while and it learns from you. I have been using Swiftkey Flow lately and I like having the option to "swype". The only gripe I have is that there is no separate line for numbers. Having to long-press or change the layout to numerical really slows things down, especially at work.
4.2 keyboard.
Which one do you guys use?

The best I've ever used ; Swiftkey.
I tried a lot, but I always go back to Swiftkey. Smoot, beautiful, amazing predictions, separated layout in landscape mode... It makes typing very fast and easy !

SwiftKey Flow.
It works better for me than Swype or stock, although I admit, I have not used Swype in a while, so this may not be a fair assessment.
SwiftKey frustrates me, though, because it refuses to recognize any semi-vulgar words (even stuff like "sucks") and certain contact names (ex. Hayden). I've tried everything I could think of, and I've emailed the developer, but no luck. This did not happen during the SwiftKey Flow trial, which is why I switched from stock to SwiftKey paid version to begin with.
I'm actively awaiting Minuum. It looks very promising.

This one called MessagEase http://www.exideas.com/ME/index.php (you can also look it up on the Play Store). It's great because it doesn't rely on text prediction and uses big and easy to press keys. I can easily type one-handed and I don't need to look at the screen any more to type.
It's a big change, that 90% of the people are not willing to do but I couldn't be happier with it. Been using it for about 3 months now and I'm typing faster than on my old Xperia Pro's hardware slide-out keyboard – about 65 wpm now.
