[q] better keyboard

I have Better Keyboard and I was wandering is there anyway to remove the mic/speech icon and maybe the comma icon too? I don't see the need for it on my icon on my archos 101. I downloaded the apk Version 6.3. Anyway Ideas?

I got thumb keyboard and it's the best so far~
or you can use the Gingerbread keyboard which is free and fast on typing.
unless you want swype or slideit (these are good but you hardly swype it and it's slower to register touch)

Keyboards.

I was wondering, what are your guys favorite keyboards?
I really like the Sense keyboard, but the arrows are quite annoying, so the best for me would be the stock ICS keyboard, as it is pretty simple and very responsive and snappy.
I don't use any of that auto-correct crap either, what other keyboards can you guys suggest me? I've tried SmartKeyboard but I didn't really like the look of all their themes.

SwiftKey 3, nothing else gets even close to it.
Install that and forget about the others, believe me

Like I said, I don't use auto-correction, and I didn't find a way to disable it on SwiftKey at all.

Ok, thanks SwiftKey isn't the right for you because it's all about auto correct and word predictions.

I like the stock one and prefer to use it but if I had to change keyboards ( happened for some reason before ) I generally use Go Keyboard

Smart keyboard pro is quite good imo

True that!
Swiftkey 3 is the best keyboard I've used so far. Damn thing somehow gets inside your mind and ends up typing whole sentences for you :good:

Sorry for the old thread bump. Auto correct can be disabled (on the current version 3 i think) by going to advanced and selecting what space does. Change it to "always inserts space".
Also you can change your user profile to precision.

I use sense keyboard, and swiftkey 3. They are the best...for my fingers

ViperX Goodness

If you are Running a deodexed ROM, you can use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1612558
I installed it recently (on InsertCoin 9.6.2) and it works wonderfully!

Arabic Sense Keyboard
would you please help me find Arabic Sense Keyboard the official one (deodexed) that works with ARHD??
thanks in advance...

I use Swiftkey but it's a PITA that it doesn't allow you to set the height of the keyboard by numerical or slider values as I use a custom DPI.
A.I. Keyboard has a great implementation of this, you can slide the keyboard to any height you want.
I think at the moment though Swiftkey still beats it in auto correction accuracy, but I keep my eye on it each update.

I used almost every keyboard, but honestly I still think the stock Android keyboard is the best (Especially when I ran on Jelly Bean), and I hate the Sense keyboard, I don't know why.

go keyboard ! only beacuse the great themes

In Go Keyboard, is there a way to completely disable auto correct and hide the suggestions and language selection bar over the keyboard?
I love the themes for Go Keyboard but I also like my keyboard to be compact and since I don't use auto correct, I don't like to have any thing over my keyboard.
Last time I tried it, there was no way to remove that bar from the top of the keyboard. Is it there now?

Stock Jellybean Keyboard is my favorite, it's really fast.

Hey! If you like the Sense keyboard but without the arrows theres a theme you can install on top (HTC_IME) and you can choose your own colours too!
Right now im using bai du keyboard which actually is quite good theres a small row on top with numbers and you can do the swipe up and down for the alternative characters.

better keyboard?

so I'm coming from using Swype on Gingerbread and loved it.
Now that I'm using the Note 2, I've been using the Samsung Keyboard and not liking it as much, but I really like that the numbers are on the keyboard at the top without making any other presses.
Swype/Swiftkey both make you press a button to get to the numbers.
What I would like is a combination of the number keys at the top + swype style for everything else.
Any suggestions?

I think Kii Keyboard is exactly what you're looking for.
It's a new keyboard, currently in beta. But it works extremely well and the developers are improving it very frequently.
Get it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zl.inputmethod.latin
You can enable the swype features and number rows through the settings.
Enjoy!

Did I miss it or what? I couldn't find hand writing recognition.

Kii is pretty much just the 4.2 keyboard with customizations. Tried it, was nice, but nothing special.
I like the Swiftkey Flow beta myself. It was updated today with many bug fixes. Nothing like swiping out an entire sentence without lifting your finger or stylus. Working great!

Kii keyboard just updated yesterday, adding even more shortcuts to the keyboard, I would highly recommend it. It has both the swype functionality plus the number keys you are looking for. Plus I believe it's customizable user dictionary and autocorrect via space key make it leaps and bounds better than stock.

I think if you touch the Spen to the area that you want to enter the text, It will automatically enter the handwriting recognition mode. I know my device does this. I'm on chinese n7105 rom so that I can have multi window and wifi tether but I assume that most roms would have the same feature.

What is this on my keyboard?!

Please check this screenshot and notice this little text next to the letter "a"! Its making my a key not allign properly, and it NEVER goes away.. its really hard to see but i think it says "6LX". Please help me,wth is this and how do i get rid of it?
P.s. im using android revolution sense rom. Latest build. Also,im not interested in "just changing keyboard" as i like HTC keyboard and im used to it.

It says XT9. It is telling you your keyboard is in T9 predictive text mode
ProBAM Power

That is no bug...
That is supposed to be that way and it does not miss-align the keyboard.
That is the exactly as it is on EVERY HTC phone and it should be that way...
If you look at your PC's keyboard you'll see that the a is slightly offset relative to the q...

i see, thanks for the info, any way to turn that thing off? I was in keyboard settings, nothing about t9 found :/

You would have to turn off all references to prediction in the keyboard settings. Or just install another keyboard from the play store

I'd download either:
SwiftKey - Best for rapid typing with great auto correct
Swype Keyboard - Great for those who enjoy using the swype/flow features in Android (not having to lift finger off to type)
Kii Keyboard (Has multipurpose keys and has a number pad which I liked) above the keyboard [BEST FOR TABLETS]
They are my 3 favorite, in that order.

Bro chill... My keyboard does to... It says ViperX+ cuz that's the Rom I'm running but its nothing

Swiftkey or Gboard?

I have to admit that the keyboard in the note 7 was the best keyboard I've used...
Does anyone have any suggestions for a good keyboard?

Swift key. Never found one as good.

Couldn't agree more. I installed Cobalt's "Blackberry Manager" and install the keyboard from there. https://cobalt232.github.io/blackberrymanager/

I like Gboard better. With Swiftkey touch and holding a letter to get symbols and accents doesn't work proper in some cases.

My Gboard freezes all the time if the keyboard was onscreen and I switch apps and go back to the earlier app.
I have to close the keyboard and reopen it. Super annoying.
Also, I think it's a bit dim. It's autocorrect is useless and it never gives me word suggestions.
Will try side loading the BB one.
