Keyboard app - Sprint LG Optimus G

Anyone have any good suggestions or experiences with a decent keyboard replacement. Looking for something with a compact qwerty, as I'm used to HTC.

And if you can get it, SwiftKey Flow beta is major improvement to an already great keyboard app.

Great, I'll check it out. I tried Jelly Bean Keyboard Pro, but it wouldn't responded to double key presses for the 2nd letter, so I gave that one up. I'm sorta becoming partial to the swipe though.

Swiftkey and/or Swiftkey Flow Beta. Nothing else matters

^^^This. I used swype for over a year. I will never look back.

I've been using SwiftKey x and SwiftKey tablet for the last couple years or so. The suggestions are usually pretty accurate and the new feature of this version which will auto correct when several words are typed together without spaces is awesome.

Just wanted to mention Kii Keyboard. It seems pretty good so far and has a layout like a tablet with the number keys in the center

There is a jelly bean keyboard in the market that I use

If you're talented like me you don't even have to look at the screen to know what you're typing
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Haha i guess that is my only option. It does it more when I'm text messaging. I did try taking word suggestion off (unchecked it) but it didn't work. I think that is what is causing the up and down on the screen
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Also to fix it go to the settings app then language and input then click swype settings then go to prefences then word suggestion and uncheck word suggestion and show suggested word but keep auto-correction checked if you want to keep auto correction on
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Thanks for the info. I tried that and it didn't work. i have all the settings unchecked and the suggested word still continues to come out.

lulz? I too would like to find a fix to this problem. Using the Swype keyboard... for Swype...

Actually I just found this version of Swype
https://www.dropbox.com/s/88ar62071w8ghr0/SWYPE-ICS.apk
which is version 3.26.92.39062.
This version seems to solve the problem by keeping the suggestion bar continuously active. Kinda lame, but better than constantly resizing. Also, the accent color is blue instead of that cool orange...
Yes I'm using the Samsung keypad

You have to root, (backup and) remove current version with something like Titanium backup, reboot, then install.

Anyone else having a bug on Chrome that when typing in a search bar and you press space it deletes the word?

Ya this happens for me with Swiftkey and Chrome. But I think it's only on the Google search because the auto corrects are somehow messing each other up. It does not seem to do it when you search with the address bar.

Any way to disable edge-zooming in the stock browser

It drives me insane when I'm using the device one-handed and trigger this "feature" when I scroll near the edge of the screen...
Same here especially when trying to bring up the quick controls.
Same here on international version

There seems to be no option. The browser itself is one of the best stock browsers I've ever used. But I want to punch sammy in the throat at times for not allowing that to be turned off.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
I agree I would also like it to be disabled. The other big annoyance in the stock browser is the double tap to zoom doesn't work (over zooms every time - naturally you have to be in desktop view to see this). There is a setting to alter it but it doesn't help. Firefox works correctly but I end up using the stock browser most of the time and just pinching.
I no longer have this problem. I was stock AT&T, then rooted, then running International ROM with a stock browser that doesn't have the edge zooming. Yes, it did annoy me when I had it.
Wow! You're right! I also changed to a different rom a while back but kind of forgot about the problem. I thought I was being more careful I guess. No! I forgot only because the problem was gone and didn't notice! Yet another reason to get off stock! Great info, big :Thumbup:

Well you can also use a different browser - plenty of choices out there...

SwiftKey Sluggish

I'm running Jellyverse and I've noticed that when using SwiftKey sometimes the letters won't pop up or word suggestions load slow. Sometimes it won't notice I've input a word for a dew seconds. Is this normal? I'm really not that fast of a typist either.

Aosp keyboard with 5 rows (numbers)

This is not my work I will not support or post links to anything but the original post.
While browsing through countless threads one thing I see often is requests for samsungs keyboard on aosp roms. Well that most likely won't happen but this just might be what you are looking for. They are from the lg lineup. One is a simple install apk the other requires a build.prop mod.

Hacker's keyboard gives you a full keyboard, including function keys (F1, F2, etc.), escape, arrow keys (very useful when fixing mistakes in emails and texts.
It's also superb for DOS Box and other emulators. There are dictionaries for most languages. Duolingo takes great advantage of these dictionaries. The auto word suggestions speed up your typing and learning, by also introducing words with similar spelling not actually a part of the lesson.
Not trying to hijack the thread. Just stating my opinion on an alternative keyboard.

It does not work that way. Each rom has a unique build.prop so you can not use on from anither rom.

Working with geardroid to get the new lg g3 keyboard fully working. To date it only works with aosp roms.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I'm on liquid and I thought I was tired of the Google keypad...mainly for lacking the number row.
I tried swift key...which was OK. Extremely similar to go keyboard. Which is ok and I like the theme ability.
Then I tried the LG key board....
I ran back to the Google keyboard...I despise that lg keyboard. And how on earth do they justify it being a 57MB app??????? I've never liked lg keyboards that much though. Always seem to lag. Even going back to non smart phones.

Hey Jlmancuso, I got the LG G3 kb working mostly ok except the handwriting part. Whenever I try to use handwriting it says that it needs to download something and I select English but it never downloads it. Can you let me know how you got that working? Thanks.

What rom are you using it on? I have been busy working on TW 4.4.2 which does not work with the keyboards. When I put it on my aosp rom it worked without any issues. I will have to install the rom you are using and see what I can figure out.
