I have tried out a lot of keyboards for my ATT Galaxy S3, and not one has what I want. I really don't care about the main keyboard, all of them are fine, but when you switch to the symbols/numbers page, I want the numbers in a 10-key design instead of a single row at the top. Anyone know of a keyboard app like this? I appreciate the help.
Swype has a keypad layout for numbers if you drag Swype key to the letter t (5).

Swiftkey has the numpad layout. I believe it's also switchable to left or ride side in the settings.

The only thing is it is $3.99 for the paid version. I personally think it's worth it. Over the course of 2-3 years it's something you use to text, email, notate, etc.
I went with they swype option for now, it seems to be what I am looking for, I just never knew it had that feature. Thanks for that. I will keep swiftkey under advisement, I haven't looked at it before now because of the price.
I used swiftkey for a while but it frequently forgot all the predictions, so I opted for Swype.

OK guys! After doing some thinkering and testing a couple of keyboards, I couldn't find a way to enter emoji2 characters into messages app and Twitter or Facebook.
But... then I came across a keyboard app made for and app called Whatsapp (messenger type) that simply adds emoji2 to the app. So I decided to try it out and found out that it also works universally across the OS since I'm using CM10 and emoji support is added to Jelly Bean.
Tested: Facebook, Twitter, Messages app, Plume, and works great with iOS users.

Are you able to see emoji2 throughout the entire device?
Yes! You have to enable emoji support inside the messages.app/settings/extra settings, then you can use that keyboard or simply add emojis by pressing the menu key and insert emoji. Also add emoji for English words under the keyboard input menu.

Are they in color or black and white?
Some are colored but mist black and white

Not bad keyboard, but you can you free one Go Keyboard. They have lot of plugins and in my opinion works better.
In go keyboard the characters does not show properly and in apps like twitter, they just won't show at all.

I've noticed some words just WILL NOT go in via swipe entry. Example... the word "nasty" always goes in as "may". Is there some way to train it or do I always need to enter the word individually.
I should just use nicer word.
I think the keyboard supposedly learns as time goes on. I also have trouble with a couple words. The keyboard just will not enter them.

If you manually add "nasty" to your personal dictionary, it works. I'm guessing the swiping dictionary differs from the auto suggestion dictionary, but both will learn to read from your personal dictionary.

I agree.. i think it learns.. but you can also manually enter words you keep missing!
I've manually added cuss words and it refuses to swipe them.

It has to be exactly on the button at first. But the keyboard learns from you and predicts the word you want.

Nope. I've entered it twice into the dictionary, still won't predict it.

Thanks. I'm using this right now and it works better than swype or slide it or touch pal. Hoping for some other color options for themes.

Just downloaded also. Very nice!
What is a fast way to capitalize a word?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
Tank you very much for this.
Lovin' it, but there's still some things Swype does better. One thing I've grown to love is that swype remembers which mode you had the keyboard in last (alphabet or numbers) and returns to it when you bring the keyboard back, but Flow always reverts back to alpha, which is annoying, since I have a bunch of apps that I primaryly input numbers into.
Is there any reason for current Swiftkey users to upgrade to this, if we don't use the "swype" type technology it offers?

Thank you for releasing this to us, so far I have only come across one issue, on occasions swype will not recognize a double letter. Thanks again.

I think this is good but still some needs work. I like that Swype offers word options while this only gives one word or you have to type it. I also have not found it as accurate as Swype on word prediction. I am keeping my eye on updates but for now am staying with Swype.
Thanks for the link. Haven't used swift key in a while. I do like swype better but wish the JB keyboard had the predictive word up top, I like how the word glows while you're typing.

Swiping w/ SwiftKey isn't working in a number of fields, namely search fields. Its working in larger text fields like compose area of email. Is this what other users are seeing?

Yes I noticed it was only working when texting someone or writing a email. Internet doesn't work for some reason.

Had to switch back to Swype after giving Flow a try for a few days. Was an OK run though.
Swype is just way more accurate for me for whatever reason. It's also better at pluralization, correcting words, remembering the last alpha/number mode, and, crucially, Swype lets me swype in search fields too where swiftkey flow requires you to tap it out! (wtf?)

i actually really enjoyed using swiftkey, tried it for a couple weeks.
pros:
1. fast and smooth swiping
2. fairly accurate predictive t9
cons:
1. the "to" vs "too" or "god" vs "good" types were annoying me in swiftkey. i hope they figure something out for that.
2. correcting a past word in a sentence (ie. not current/last word) is frustrating. it think it just messes up with swiftkey's t9 and weird words come up.
3. sometimes swiped words just don't show up on available words (from t9) like "to" or "do" or other simple words
will definitely be keeping an eye on this and trying later iterations.
I just discovered there is a "Spellchecker" option under "Language & input", but activating it does nothing, and clicking on the settings button next to it brings me to an empty screen.
What's up with that?
I think its for keyboards with extra spell check, e.g. Old google keyboards

If you type spel and click spacebar, keyboard should write spell.

I find SwiftKey being better than the default keyboard, you might want to try that out it has a nice spellchecker, it suggest you words by analyzing all of your SMS (and e-mail if you want to)
I know it can be done with go sms, but wasn't sure with HTC messaging app.

I haven't really messed with it. I know you can install an emoji keyboard from the play store and switch keyboards in your texts but I think you still need an app that can display then like go or hand cent

Multiling is the one I use because it draws the emoji in black-and-white. Some people like Kii. I thought you meant iOS style emoji in full color, which is only supported by a couple apps. The black and white ones are system wide.
Sliding Messaging will let you pick which styles of emoji to see in messages as well as having a dedicated button next to the message field that allows you to enter your emoji without swapping keyboards. They also introduced a standalone emoji keyboard you can download, for use in other apps, but you have to switch between keyboards to use it. If you need ios style emoji access all the time though, best to go with kii.
