Best keyboard for froyo

Hello to all,
I used the latest version me HTC ime mod keyboard and with eclair works well.
Since I have installed froyo keyboard sometimes became slow to respond.the stock touch input is better as speed of touch but is very very poor of functionality!
I have the latest version of HTC ime mod keyboard, any suggestion to improve the keyboard performance?
Thanks a lot

I switched to smart keyboard, it feels more natural than HTC's keyboard and funs fine on Froyo.

Where can I find this?
Have Italian translation and numeric keypad?
Thanks again

It's on the market, and there's a downloadable Italian keypad. Dunno if it shows on your market though...It's around $2 but there's a trial version

Since I always used the phone keypad and this is my first touch phone, is better for me if keyboard has the phone keypad support
Thanks

Another vote for Swype.
So accurate it is spooky

Another vote for Swype. It even works well as a tap keyboard.

hmm... where do we get swype from? or are you guys using a rom that already has it installed?

I have tried smart keyboard but is very similar to HTC mod keyboard.is not good for me.Swype is vary very wonderful but....how I can make chars like ?!' In my phrase???
Other suggestion?
Thanks!!

Give SwiftKey a try, I prefer it to Swype. Although I believe BlindType keyboard will trump every other keyboard once it's publicly available, BTW does anyone have a leaked beta of BlindType ?

SwiftKey gets my vote! Tried most of them and found it the best.

I vote better keyboard, theres a free beta on their blogsite.
has been working pretty well for me so far

Swype here. I love it, is just amazing.

I use default ics keyboard with autocorrect off. It doesn't lag like any else.

Swiftkey is good but it annoys the hell outta me at times.

My vote goes to stock HTC keyboard and the patch created by jonasl for cm7 and cm9..... I simply love the HTC keyboard...... So simple and yet so effective and moreover, it never lagged !

I tried it. Without predictions. Awesome stuff. Thanks a lot.

I use TouchPal Keyboard and it's all right. I've tried a bunch of different ones and i find this the best out of all.
I loved the HTC stock keyboard when i had swype (T-mo app) but since i put a custom ROM on it, that's gone... and i just can't type without swype any more...
H.

If you are using cm9 or 10 ,then go for xperia s keyboard. Nice one . Try it .

Sammy keyboard sucks!

Swipe style typing is horrible & predictive text is poor to say the least. Anyone have better experience ?

Second that. It is complete crap. Realized that pretty quickly. Installed Swype beta the day after I got the phone and haven't looked back.

Just did the same....night and day

I love Swype but since I just got the phone figured I'd try stock keyboard. It was unbearable!

Definately a giant fail for Sammy, the kb blows. I've been using Swift 3 and loving it. I tried stock as well but couldn't deal with it for more than 1 week.

I agree the default keyboard is horrible. I've been using SwiftKey 3 and it's great, I highly recommend it.

Definitely agree, probably the worst keyboard ever.

I've been using AnySoftKeyboard for years since it supports foreign language keyboards. Also, I prefer peck style keyboards to swype style.

SwiftKey 3. Get it

The only, albeit strange, reasons that keep me using the samsung keyboard over swype is the haptic feedback and the typing sounds. The haptic feel of the swype keyboard doesn't feel as precise as the sammy one no matter what i set the length to. And don't get me started on the irritating key press sound...

Jelly Bean keyboard port FTW!
Jelly Bean keyboard is the best keyboard I've ever used, Swiftkey and Swype included.

Samsung should of just pre installed ics keyboard
Apple just give up the IPHONE sucks deal with it.

I believe it's an option under Languages and Input settings.

I use SwiftKey 3.01. Customizable in skins, portrait/landscape keyboard height, typing style, and keyboard layout. It also supports the use of up to three languages and their keyboards/dictionaries at once, learns from Facebook/Twitter/Gmail/RSS/Reader/SMS messages, and it is scarily accurate in predictions.

I gave up on Swype when Dragon took over the speech recognition instead of passing it to Google (which is loads better than any other dictation.) I tried SwiftKey for a long time to give the prediction time to learn about my style but I never ended up liking it as much as Swype. Then I tried the stock ICS keyboard and was very impressed. I could type super fast (faster than I could Swype) without paying close attention with great results and the post-typing word correction tools worked really well for when my typing was so bad that the keyboard couldn't figure me out. The JB keyboard continues to improve the stock ICS keyboard experience.

Swype. Has anyone problem using it?

Since the upgrade to 4.2 I am having problems using Swype. It gets blocked when I switch it from default keyboard to swype one. I want to use it because swype support the languages that i need.
Has anyone the same problems and it's there a fix?
Thanks

I had to restore from a nandroid backup using Titanium backup. Every time I unlock the device I get a force close message or 2, but Swype functions normally thereafter. Tried to install using the install app provided for the beta program and nothing was available to install. I don't think they have caught up to 4.2 quite yet.

I wish i could port swype dictionary to the default 4.2 android keyboard....

When i try to reinstall it, the app installer doesn't let me choose a version also.

I believe that's a known issue. Hopefully Swype releases a fix for it soon.

I've been going back and forth between 4.2 keyboard and Swype.
I'm using an old themed version (no longer available) from djdarkknight.
you can try this version if you want.

Swype kept freezing my jelly bean rom so i switched to SwiftKey Flow beta and i'd argue that it's better than swype, stock was an absolute nightmare.. Just not as much detail put into it as swype and SwiftKey.

I just recently went from stock android 4.1 on my Galaxy Nexus to CyanogenMod 10 with android 4.2.1. I was using Swiftkey Flow before and now and the only difference I had was the color that shows up when you swype letters, it barely shows up on screen now.

Swype bumped the beta to 1.4 and seems to work quite well with 4.2.1. Adding to the custom dictionary is now functional too.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Between the pain-in-the-arse multistep install process and the glitches in the Swype beta, I've switched over to the stock 4.2 keyboard. I also tried Swiftkey 3. Uninstalled Swype a couple of months back and never regretted it. It's just too hard to setup and it refuses to work without a lot of tweaking.

Best SGS3 Keyboard?

I use Swiftkey - (WHICH NOW HAS FLOW - THE ABILITY TO DRAG YOUR FINGER ACROSS THE SCREEN TO TYPE WORDS - ALL THE FUNCTIONALITY OF SWYPE). It's word prediction is amazing (for which it was already famous). What is your favorite keyboard and why?

Why pointless? Sure, the title could be something more like "What keyboard do you use?"
Back on the topic: SwiftKey is really good, but it sucks (like most other keyboards) when it comes to other languages. For an example in Czech one word can have 10 different endings and in most cases the predictions are wrong. The predictions in English are really good though.
Edit: It's on a 50% sale atm

+1 for swiftkey but i think im better off the flow function. I like to swipe left to erase my typo than holding erase button to delete word

touchpal
i still love touchpal, since my first time with a smartphone (winmobile 6.1).
i don't like word prediction, never worked for me anyway, and on these wipe-swipe-kind of keyboards,
i'll never get the hang of it.
on android touchpal i like the big keys and from the first moment i totally loved the key-swipe up/down function for special characters and big letters.

Some time ago, i was using the Smart Keyboard (with iPhone theme).
It's fast, beautiful, and with dicionary for almost all languages.
But when I left the theme "iPhone", I started to use the ‘‘stock’’ 4.2.
It's pretty, fast, and until now, no issues!

thread started on the wrong section, should be in QnA/general.

I use swiftkey and think it's great, but have to agree with CuttyCZ, predictions are much better in English than in other languages.

Note 2 Keyboard with Secondary Symbols enables is the best for me.
it makes my messaging faster than the stock.
giving my thanks to Arsaw.

Sadly am hooked on paranoidandroid, so can't use this. However am stuck with SwiftKey, which Is awesome, probably the best keyboard ever. In particular the ability to sync predictions across ddevices, that's revolutionary and for someone like me with four different devices, for work, leisure and research you can quickly realise the potential of SwiftKey.

I personally use the 4.2 keyboard with swipe.

This might be a stupid question, but are there any keyboards that make switching between languages-- or, better yet, having two languages active-- and easy task? Logically, mixing two languages in one sentence is going to confuse the predictions, but one would think it miiiiight be possible.

Swiftkey now has swype functionality included and by default...
