The Samsung keyboard is seriously getting on my nerves so I'm looking for keyboard recommendations. Please post what keyboard you use and what you like/dislike about it. Thanks!
gingerbread free keyboard from the market is the best ive found, only thing is the letters dont have symbols like ? ! on them, but I can live with that for free
My new favourite keyboard is Perfect Keyboard! It is exactly as the name implies. Perfect.
Regards.

+1, free until beta expires in August.
Other good keyboards are Thumb keyboard and Smart Keyboard both of which I've used as well.
I perfer Smart Keyboard. Quite costumizeable. Try it and buy the pro version if you like it!

I'm new to swiftkey x beta and liking it a lot so thanks for the heads up.
But.... the correction and suggestions don't work in the stock email app which is a bit of a bummer. Its sooo much better than the stock samsung keyboard.
Might go ask on the swiftkey web page if no one here has any quick and easy fix.
Edit: Found this is common for after market keyboards on the i9100 email app Have also sent question to swiftkey
Wish there was an easy way to change the keyboard when in an app without going to home screen. On my i8000 running froyo i used to be able to hold the settings button the keyboard and the keyboard choices came up. Any way to access the choise of keybaord easily??????
SlideIT ftw.
Better Keyboard 8

+1 on that. It's simple and does what it's supposed to do well. Plus, if you search the I9000 forum, you'll find some nice skins, yes it's free and you can change the skin color!

Seeing as everyone here post something different,I will post about my favourite.GO Keyboard.Nice,customizable,easy to use,accurate and has some pretty handy long-press shortcuts I really appreciate it.I don't know how it does with auto correction as I hate it,but other than that,it's brilliant!

Smart Keyboard has been my favourite for quite some time now. Plus I like the keyboard being a little longer as I find I hit the '.' so many times on the samsung keyboard and others. Its got a very good intuitive learning dictionary (think you have to turn it on first in settings).
Smart keyboard is great and has a lot of customization to it.
Personally love Swift Key. Can pretty much type a message only using the space bar.

Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
My opinion atm is: Swiftkey X beta > SlideIT > Swype
I personally like Smart Keyboard pro the most. Also the gingerbread keyboard is good but not that good.
I don't know about Skype. I am trying to learn it but somehow it just seems bad..so slow and annoying. Just more practice needed?
+1 for smart keyboard. Tried the different keyboards when I got my nexus one and just felt that the smart keyboard where right for me. It has the feature that makes iPhone keyboard so great that it makes the letters bigger by prediction of what word you are typing "behind the scene"
Looks like the ICS keyboard is ready for downloading and installing.
Just install like a normal apk. Then go to settings < language and keyboard < and check ice cream sandwich keyboard. Then long press any text field and press input method and press on ice cream sandwich keyboard.

::: looks up and checks the name of the forum :::: How does the ACE relate to the E4GT?
I installed it and it seems to be working fine. Although I'm not a fan of it (I wasnt a fan of the GB KB either though which everyone loves)

Lol, he/she was probably overly excited about the ICS keyboard that he/she didn't care what forum he/she was getting into.
So far I'm liking it, I never used the gingerbread keyboard though. I just stuck to the froyo keyboard.
I actually really like it on my Nexus. Its the first stock keyboard I didn't immediately ditch. I think the spell correct and word prediction works really well. Still using it on that phone. Gonna check it out. Thanks

I don't think it was working properly for me. No word predictions or voice search button would appear. Besides i prefer the Swype keyboard. Just got to use to it that it's hard for me to change i guess

smooth, just like the GB without the force closes. thanks for this. I would like to see it themed darker like the GB kb but Im happy with it.
Loving this thus far.
Probably the best android keyboard I've used.
actually getting the same FC as the Gb keyboard. if you type to fast it seems it causes it to force close.
I wonder if this is just a themed GB kb.....

I used to get the fc with the gingerbread keyboard and I wasn't themed.
Probably some Samsung app causing the issue.
Just had my first fcs with the ics keyboard as I'm typing this.
Edit: try removing the Samsung keyboard.
"AxT9IME.apk" not having the issue after i removed it
I don't see a voice input on this keyboard even after checking the setting

I didnt have haptic at first either. It's because it's set to 0ms by default in the advanced settings. go in there and change it to something higher and it will work(I have mine at 35ms which is the default for thumb keyboard)
Has anyone noticed it wont capitalize i to "I" automatically? it will if it's at the start of the sentence obviously but in the middle it's leaving it lower case for me.
Was wondering if anybody has a ICS themed HTC_IME MOD keyboard that will work with any of the latest ICS leaks?

Don't work(((
I also tried the existing zip file (htc_ime_jonasl_hires22_27.zip) on TF101 ICS but it does not work.
Any suggestions on how to get HTC IME for ICS?
I really love the ability to long press to get symbols, digits etc.
Anyone?
i'm on Calk's fc24 rom right now and the htc keyboard works for me

You'll need to go into preferences and turn off predictions. it's a known issue with ICS.

I kind of want the prediction... it defeats the point of wanting the T9 keyboard if prediction is disabled.

I use 'Google Keyboard' which is the official 4.2 google keyboard, it's in the play store for free
One thing I really like about it, you can change the 'long press' delay so for numbers you don't have to wait 2.5 million years before it shows up!

I use swiftkey that it's well know by everyone and I like touchpal too as a free option (I've google 4.2 in my tablet and I like too).
Today I've heard about a totally new keyboard with a different concept "Minuum keyboard", locks very nice
Interesting, I shall try them all out!
Thanks for the suggestions!

Decided to go with Google keyboard.
As I prefer having control over the vibration, and that wasn't an option on the LG keyboard!

I recommend AI TYPE keyboard.it's full qwerty with numeric top row.for a big screen it's the best.
I like Kii keyboard... Same as Google keyboard but with addons and different layouts....
I loved swift key before but it now annoys me because it auto corrects in search bars too which is a pain

I am running Cyanogenmod 10.2 on my note 2 so of course the Samsung keybaord does not work, but does anyone can an idea of another keyboard that also has the numbers on top like the Note 2 keyboard that works on Cyanogenmod? Thanks in Advance!

Kii keyboard on Play has the option. I prefer it to Swift key.
TouchPal is only thing close. If it gets prediction working better then it will be better.

I tested both Kii and Touchpal, everyone will prefer a different keyboard, but kii fits my needs better, plus it has more features, Thanks to both of you for your replys

I dropped Swiftkey for this. The only annoyance is you have to teach it most chat slang and abreviated words. Other than that, the style and lay out with dedicated number row is what I'm loving about it.

What Version of Swiftkey are you using? because they did not had a dedicated row for the numbers... screenshot?
Use Android key board and change the lay out to PC.

Oh, excuse the confusion. I didn't mean Swiftkey had the number row. I was referring to the O keyboard that I linked above.
