This.
Tried BetterKB, Gingerbread, Swype, SlideIt, Ultra, but SmartKeyb pro is easily the best for me.
Personally HTC IME Mod is the best fit for me, nice big buttons, and plenty of useful features, like moving through text with the volume rocker or even much needed spell check for the hardware KB.

I still go back to the droid x keyboard, I love it.

Agree. Swype is the fastest and easiest for me. You do have to have good spelling to get the best result out of it though!
Orderwise you ends up making silky ousts on treats

Can keyboards be combined? For instance Gingerbread with Swype
Shapewriter. It's like Swype, done right. I find Swype to be way too inaccurate, and I dislike the popup. Shapewriter is more accurate and has a bar of word suggestions above the keyboard rather than a popup.
It was pulled from the market when Nuance bought out the developer, but you can still find it fairly easily (as in, linked in the forums at www.shapewriter.com).
It is always one of my first installs, along with Handcent and Androzip.
Im looking for skins or themed keyboards.
I seen a couple in some of the new roms put out lately but when I move over the axt9ime.apk its not changed from the stock look.
Anyone know of any?

Swift X keyboard has a few different themes. I prefer it over all th others ive tried.

I own it but its hard to get used to...lol
Plus there's only like 3 themes...
Not knocking the suggestion, it is a good one.

Used Swiftkey X since launch and could never understand what people liked about it.
Using Perfect KB now and really liking the customizability.

Hey Devs,
I am not usually into themeing, I really like stock looks often.
But today while using the SGS III keyboard, I suddenly thought How awesome would it look like if the Samsung Keyboard had the same "finish" like the back of the device or the front near the home button.
Horizontal metallic lines - If anyone wishes to create such a theme, I'd be thrilled to test it
Bye for now
I would love a white keyboard like the one on tab

Try the SwiftKey beta 3 from their website. That has a blue theme and it is also a great keyboard. I haven't got my s3 yet but going by previous Samsung keyboards I guess it is a good option

Same to be said about smartbkeyboard pro.
I'm actually using the galaxy theme on my galaxy s3 but it it has many colours and a much better predictive text than the 'bouncy' stock.
Also tried swiftkey which was good but couldn't get used to the non standard layout

What Do you mean by the "bouncy" stock?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
The auto correct for the stock keyboard often changes the words especially shorter ones it abbreviates it with no way of saving your petsonalised words without going into the personal dictionary first
Example being every time I would type in MB or GB et it would place a full stop before it without giving me an option to do so. I referred to it as bouncy as I was constanlty going back and forth to correct the punctuation myself which sounds pittiful but is annoying when you can't type quickly !
The only thing I do miss about the stock keyboard though was that it had an integrated swipe function without changing it in the settings. Now that was handy for texting quickly when you only had one hand

So no takers? Thanks for the suggestions on the alternative keyboards but for those of us who actually "like" the stock keyboard is someone willing to take up the task?
It would be highly appreciated.

I don't know what it is about SwiftKey, but I really, really don't like it. I like the stock Samsung keyboard the best, but it's unusable for me since it doesn't have autocorrect. Therefore, I'm using the Android 4.2 keyboard.

I would get android 4.2 keyboard but I bricked my phone this past weekend trying to cwm recovery to flash it. And you can't flash it with twrp for some reason. I also tried manually installing which didn't work either. Idk. I really like SwiftKey 3 though. It's perfect for me.

Swift key all day.

I really don't like keyboards that cant use finger dragging for input. I like swype but have been using the Android 4.2 keyboard for the past few days. I like the 4.2 with the swyping function but still have to play with it a bit before it's a keeper. It has some things I don't like as far as a few common things on the second keyboard screen. A comma is one of them. I might be able to change this but have not tried at all....wait...the comma is also there if I hold down the period key.

Right now I'm using Smart Keyboard Pro with a hot pink theme. I love keyboards that ur able to theme cuz I'm a pink-a-holic! I know Swiftkey has a pinkish type theme, but my fav pink color is bubble gum or hot pink. If Swiftkey ever gets a pink color theme like those I'd definitely switch back to it cuz that is one awesome keyboard. The auto-correction/predictions is out of this world fabulous!

I really like this gray with neon green theme. It looks very clean and the keys have a sort of blackberry look to them which is a very clean look that I'm quite fond of.

As the title goes, which one do you guys prefer? After playing with swift today, I went back to Swype. I like it better. I am think that even the stock keyboard is nice, but the multitude Swype gestures available on Swype really make it powerful. Keep in mind that I use the Swype/flow functions in these, I almost never tap.

I was using SwiftKey on my Nexus and actually bought the app well quite frankly I enjoy it more than the stock keyboard.
Also, SwiftKey has a function called 'Float' which is essentially Swype. I still don't use it, but then just love the feel of SwiftKey. Not sure if this feature is available with the free version.

I tend to use SwiftKey on my Nexus 7 but I'm sticking with Swype on the phone. I've been using the Swype beta since the Vibrant and it's a bit difficult to get used to different swipe gestures.
SwiftKey Flow (now part of SwiftKey itself) is by far better keyboard than swype, than stock, than anyone. Period. The only one that maybe looks promising is fleksy, and I didn't tried yet, so by now, sk has the best word prediction, imho.

I wanna try the flow thing but I bought my swiftkey from Amazon a while ago and it's still on version 1.1.19. Anyone know if I can upgrade?
I'm back on Swype. I was using Swift key flow beta until it expired yesterday. I got a notification that said swift key corrected 175 of my typos. Actually, the typos were due to swiftkey's poor predictive text I would slowly drag my thumb over N...O...T and the word "not" would be in the predictive box, but as soon as I went to E (for Note), it would change and input the word "busy" .. delete...pound out letter by letter

I've had a couple of upgrades to my Amazon-bought SwiftKey, this week. Flow is now included.
Flow is pretty awesome Better than swype IMHO.
There's a reason I've used SwiftKey since the alpha. It was the best then and it's only gotten better over time, but I don't really care for the flow/swype stuff, it's not that accurate to me. But I did just use it to type this so it's not too bad on SwiftKey
noted for future reference on my Note 2
I've been using the paid version of SwiftKey for a couple years on my epic 4g, also tested the flow beta on my note 2 when I migrated over. On the Note I prefer Swype, I feel it's more intuitive, and its accuracy is better hence it's faster. I tried the recent SwiftKey update on the paid version that now includes flow, but I still feel it's not as fluid or accurate as Swype. I get 3 times the amount of errors with SwiftKey that SwiftKey creates that I don't get with Swype. I could care less about which one looks better. I prefer functionality over looks.

I like the numbers on top, without holding the keys, and hand writing compatibilities with S Pen on the Samsung keyboard. I love the arrow keys and ten keyboard on the SwiftKey.
When it comes between Swype keyboard and SwiftKey keyboard I would choose SwiftKey. SwiftKey is better in choosing the right words and has more features than Swype.
The only thing I would like to see in SwiftKey keyboard is numbers on top, without holding the keys, and hand writing compatibilities with S Pen. Then SwiftKey would be the most perfect keyboard.

Kii keyboard has the swype like functions, plus the top number keys and a great user dictionary. At the end of the day, it's my daily driver. Ymmv.
I like the stock Samsung keyboard. It has the swype feature.. Why download another app that does essentially the same thing?
