Hello. i am posting here, in desperation for not being able to find a working T9 keyboard. I used smart keyboard pro, which used to work wonderfully on my HTC HD2. Now i have a Galaxy s2, and with the stock rom it didn't work properly. I type very fast, and the program is not able to "detect all the keypresses accurately?" and i cannot write correctly. I installed Android 4.4/CM 11 AOKP (Pound rom) and still the problem resides. I tried so far:
-perfect keyboard, both free and pro
-black bolts keyboard
-super keyboard
-smart keyboard pro
-sony experia z1 keyboard (couldn't even open it. force closes, instantly)
I just wanted an old school Compact T9 keyboard, with Portuguese dictionary. Seems pretty simple, but it's becoming a burden to find one that works! Anything of help would be appreciated...
I've been using swiftkey for many many years, it works really well and builds its dictionary using your email, facebook, sms and twitter vocabulary. Try it, I think you'll love it.
See ya!
thanks for replying. But since when is swiftkey a compact T9?
still looking for an alternative.. help anyone?
Problem solved. Touch pal x keyboard works like a charm with full t9 working. This thread can be closed

I'm looking for keyboard that makes it easier for me to type with no mistakes.
I've come to the Desire from the Dream, and it's taking me a while to adjust to virtual keyboard. The HTC Touch Input is ok, better than the standard Android, but still not as good/accurate as the iPhone.
Is it true that the Android keyboards cannot do proper multi-touch?
I'm currently downloading every keyboard I can find to try & find a better match for me, but would appreciate some suggestions.
I found smart keyboard pro to be the best do far. I also can from the g1 and using smart pro, I don't miss my old hard keyboard at all.
Smart keyboard also does predicted text in the search bar. Very good.
SlideIT Keyboard is currently half off in the market for New Years. I doubt it beats Swype, but add it currently doesn't work on tablets, I bit the bullet and bought it. Well worth the expense at $4.
It's working on tablets

Thanks for this thread.
I actually acquired the SlideIT for my Samsung Galaxy i9000 mobile device & have a very strange issue with it.
Since yesterday, I have been using the "h*ck*d" version I found on Applanet and it was running greatly - so, as I was very satisfied with it I decided to support the developer and buy the official version
Well - I uninstalled my Applanet version, bought, downloaded and installed the official Market version - .. but it would not run properly.
Although the default language is set as "English", whenever I swype an English term, the keyboard suddenly comes up only with "??" instead of a proper word suggestion. But it used to work with the other version I had from Applanet.
* I have checked the settings, no other Keyboard is ticked
* I have checked the language setting yes - English is set as "Primary Language"
* I thought I might have to install the English language pack, but it is not available in the Market how come? German, Dutch, etc. everything there, but no English
Anyone else has experienced similar or different troubles with SlideIT (official version)?
I'd be thankful for any help.
I got the SlideIT keyboard working fine on the Archos 101. Though fine doesn't mean "without issues." First, the keys on the right side while in landscape mode are somewhat shaved off. Second...the keyboard is FRICKEN HUGE! I mean seriously, it is ridiculously huge...like the clown shoes of on-screen keyboards.
I think I will keep pestering the people over on the Swype forums to make their keyboard work on tablets. LOL
I have used Swype for a long time on my pocket pc but haven't been as happy with it on the Archos 70. I saw this video on youtube comparing Swype and FlexT9. I have to say I prefer T9 and the speech to text works surprising good. Try it for yourself it was around five bucks. I can't post the link so do a search on youtube FlexT9.
Hello,
I'm a fan of compact keyboard, like the one used on old school mobiles.
Used with T9, it's really efficient, more than the standard default complete keyboard..
Is someone knows any third party nice compact keyboard ?
I could try HTC IME mod on android 4, but I guess it won't work ; and still the prediction is quite bad on this version...
(priority in french words, personnal dictionnary...etc)
Thanks a lot for your replies
I've found that SwiftKey X is the best keyboard by far. But I'm sure it comes down to just individual taste, trial and error.

How do I change this from English? It's the default language and there are no other options to choose. I want to use Simplified Chinese with Pinyin input on the keyboard. The soft keyboard works fine, only the hardware keyboard has this problem.
I'd like to know it too. I'm using a DZ with stock rom and spanish hw keyboard, but I have only bthe english layout...

Well, this worked fine in my Windows Mobile phone. I could switch back and forth from English to Chinese on both soft or hard keyboards. But from reading around, I seem to find that the keyboard is locked to one language. What a dumb idea. Yet another stupid problem with my phone that shouldn't be a problem.
I'm using GO keyboard from the android market. You're able to download multiple language packs as well and Pinyin is working fine for me even on the physical keyboard.
Thanks for the advice, it works great. A bit of trouble to get Chinese working correctly, but it's fine now.
Glad to help. =D
Other keyboards that support language change via hardware keyboard are Smart Keyboard Pro and AnySoftKeyboard.
Hi.
I've made this thread due to alot of posts (including my own) asking for Samsung Keyboard for AOSP/AOKP, since it's to possible to use on these ROMs.
I wanted to make a GUIDE to help find the best alternatives to the Samsung Keyboard or other stock keyboards in general. My own reason to want the Samsung Keykoard is only due to layout + T9 Dictionary in my native language, Danish.
I hope that most people afterwards can make find a better alternative, that can be installed on to their custom rom as a apk or though Play.
If you got a a favorite keyboard, then please post or pm me, then I will add it to the list. Please provide download url aswell.
Keyboards tried and tested untill now:
Swift keyboard is definitely the best. It's word-guessing is incredible and it only costs 2-3$... Very satisfied so far
AI Keyboard - Nice, but doesn't support danish dictionary.

MultiLing Keyboard is nice, but it seems a bit weird with word-guessing.
Found free on market. And there is alot of dictionaries to download aswell.
iPhone keyboard has poor word-guessing in my native language (danish)
I will keep this thread updated when I try out more and get feedback from you guys.
