Swype

Hello All,
I was looking at the GS II in the TMO store today - still comparing it vs. the Amaze - however now leaning towards the GS II, and I wasn't too found of the keyboard. I am assuming that Swype, which I really like, can be used on it?
Thank, in advance.

I can confirm that it does come pre-installed with swype.

So it comes pre-installed, however, it's not selected/activated yet? I am assuming that the swype keyboard looks better than the default one?
Thanks, in advance.

Sounds like someone just switched it on the display phone, because it definitely comes with it pre-installed and ready to use.

Its actually not laggy on the GS2, but I don't like it either. Swype tends to be inaccurate at times and then I have to go back and swype the whole sentence all over again. I rather "gingerbread keyboard" from the market.

Stock Swype vs Swype Beta

Let's get some feedback here on what you guys prefer and why. Thanks
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

I have the swype beta installed on my mom's thunderbolt, and it works well. But I much prefer the look of the Swype that's made for the Nexus S, the one included in teh Unnamed rom, http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/6549/swype.png . I like the way it looks, the only thing I don't like anymore about the new Swype keyboards is the inclusion of the language button, I only type in English, so I don't want the option to switch languages lol.

Absolutely love any version of Swype. Though I'm also starting to dig SwiftKey X, just takes some time for the app to learn my word usage to increase prediction probability.

Love swiftkey X. For text messaging. Unfortunately, it has no predictions in some applications (like the internet) making it difficult to use.

[Q] Best System Keyboard for SGY

First of all, I already know that there is a thread similar to this in another section of the SGY forum, i think its in the apps and themes section and the OP is kishore555?
The point of this thread is just to ask your opinion about
"What is the best keyboard for SGY that can be pushed to system/app?"
I am currently loving smart keyboard pro, but the problem is that i am looking for a keyboard similar to it that i can push to system/app. Im not really a fan of swype or any other keypad types, i also like the stock keypad but the looks ugly in my opinion...
So please do share with me a keypad that can be pushed to system/app..
Thank You..

It has predictions and stuff. I've disabled everything and made it smaller. It looks pretty good. But it ain't meant for performance and useability.

Swift key x owns any keyboard.. The ui is not that bad but the predictability is more than awesome.. Just the best one for fast typing.. Other alternative is smart keyboard pro but swift key x is just wayyy above any other keyboard due to its awesome word prediction..

smart keyboard pro is still the best for me

Using Ultra Keyboard, the dev is very active and always listens to suggestions. Very nice guy who is very dedicated to further develop the keyboard to its fullest. I have suggested the tap time out and several other small things and he managed to slip them in on the previous updates.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1283150
Also have modded the keyboard to suit my needs better and I have totally forgotten about searching for better keyboard from the market everyday.

I am using this on my Galaxy Y in portrait mode, and I just love the half qwerty layout coming from the BB Pearl series phone and I dont think that I have ever typed a message in landscape mode because there is no need for it with Ultra Keyboard.
I also like SmartKeyboard, but it has this problem of not showing the preview of the letter you are typing on password fields when in compact qwerty layout. And the dev is no longer present in their forum.

I have no problem with stock samsung keyboard, especially from DDLA1 which works even with terminal emulators and script manager.

Fleksy Keyboard Beta

"Fleksy is a revolutionary technology, which makes typing text on a touch-screen easy.
Ever dreamt of an auto-correct system powerful enough to work even when you don’t look at the screen? Enter, Fleksy.
Used today by thousands of blind and visually impaired users to type faster and easier than many sighted people, Fleksy is set to revolutionize the way people think about mobile devices and to challenge the traditional barriers in touch-screen typing for everyone.
Featuring Syntellia’s patent pending technologies, Fleksy uses the familiar QWERTY layout, coupled with probably the most powerful text prediction engine out there.
Tap typing, re-invented.
How Fleksy works
Fleksy allows users to type text on the familiar keyboard layout, by tapping on the screen. Our patent pending technology does not need accuracy – just tap on the screen and Fleksy will automatically detect the text you meant to enter – even if you have missed every single key.
It is like nothing you have used before.
Happy typing!!!

Best Keyboard App

What is the best keyboard app for you?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

for phones it AI plus keyboard beacuse of the numbers keys on top row for texting, for tablets i think swiftkey tablet is nice or swype

You can try "Tablet Keyboard (pro)" for N7

Yes, tablet keyboard pro is very good.

I have purchased both versions of SwiftKey. It works great on my Galaxy Note 2 (phone version), less so on my Nexus 7 (tablet version). I don't really like the split keyboard for the tablet, but I REALLY like the word anticipation features, I can send messages on the phone very quickly, but since I don't message on the tablet that is not as useful.

Swiftkey & Swiftkey Tablet, now that they can cloud sync the prediction database between all your devices it is a no brainer.

I use the Adaptxt keyboard on my droid, it's cool and smart. It's a must try:bit.ly/adaptxt-beta-android
This pic is from my phone cuz my tablet is out of reach but looks just as good. I made the the theme on it. Its free but for 99 cents it lets you make your own themes easy plus it works amazingly good!

nice work！！！！！！！！！！

While I quite like Swype on my phone, I have found it doesn't work so well on tablets. After trying most of the options out there I settled on Kii Keyboard.
If you set the theme to Holo it is almost identical to using the stock keyboard, with the exception of having long key presses for symbols on all the keys. So if you like the stock keyboard and just wish it was a bit more configurable, check it out.
