Is it just me or does everyone else agree that the stock keyboard is unusable. Simple texts or emails take 5 times longer then just using the android keyboard. Its horrible. Horrible prediction and does actions I never even ask it to do. Haven't even got to the lag!!! I know there is a mod to fix the lag but I don't think it does much. Anyone else dealing with this?? Anything I can do?
I can't say I agree. The keyboard on the LG G3 has to be one of the best I have ever used. Very close to the one on the iPhone in terms of responsivenss, pretty much no lag and the predictions are quite good.
Have you tried the advanced settings for the keyboard?
The only issue I have with it is not inserting spaces as I'm swiping.
Tbh i love it. Its really great.
What lag are you talking about thats because of the LG keyboard?
For me the keyboard is very fast and the prediction is perfect. It looks good aswell and is very customizable.
It's just you the stock key board is one of the first I have not had or wanted to change soon at I turned the phone on
First stock keyboard that hasn't made me switch to swiftkey... Yet anyway
Glad I noticed this post. I had automatically installed swiftkey and turned it off for a while to see if I liked the LG keyboard. It seams very responsive and easy to use. I love the way you can increase the size of the keyboard.
Yeah the keyboard is pretty bad.
I used it for 1 month straight and was too tired of its errors. I didn't see any lag with it but things like swiping to "is" and getting "it's" drove me nuts and wasted a ton of time correcting. Far too many of these types of errors.
Back to Swype and it works perfect as always.
I like it at first but now reverted back to the Google Keyboard. I find the predictive not that good, say you wanted totype "Ship" it would automatically correct it to "Shop". Any word typed that is not in the dictionary it replaces with one that is, its trying to be too clever.
But the biggest problem is I get this bug where I can only type numbers.
There are good things about this keyboard, numbers shown on top row and excellent spacing of keys.

I'm having this same problem. There has got to be a fix for it, I've tried everything I can think of.
Ok, so switch to another keyboard. Seriously, these types of threads are out of control here. Are we getting all the rejects from the rest of XDA? Are all the smart folks buying other phones? What is going on here.
That was a little harsh. Last I checked this was a discussion board.

You know, you can easily ignore threads with titles that don't interest you instead of complaining... This is a thread about a feature on the phone that this forum is for - it is perfectly on topic.
I agree with the OP its one of the worst I've used because of how tiny the buttons are, I just switched to stock Google and am typing much faster because of it.
Just use Swiftkey, it's free !

No i didnt although opening it again after reading your post and i have noticed that the keyboard updated to a more modern ios type look which is nicer than the bubbly one it shipped with.
Install the Google keyboard, it's fantastic.
Well, kinda agree on this...i stopped using it too, try the google L keyboard... I found it easier to type and use as well. Is available on xda, just search for L keyboard... Comes as apk, can be aplied on non rooted device

Trying to get the HTC keyboard for my phone cuz let's face it, the android keyboard sucks. I've been following this thread over on the XDA Nexus One thread and have followed it exactly installing both APK's. Each time when i long click and select Touch Input, no keyboard shows up on the screen.
I'm not exactly sure why it won't work since i have installed several other keyboards over the past.
If anyone knows how to get this working, or is experiencing a similar issue please let me know.
Bump
Seriously? Nobody. The android keyboard sucks haha and my swype expired.
lol dude, not clue why it doesnt work, i tried downloading the v20 apk from the N1 forums, it installs but when you switch input methods it doesnt show up so stuck in same boat

working keyboard for android tilt 2
first you have to go to the xdandroid startup icon and make sure the model is on tilt 2 mode, then boot. just like using the regular keyboard. able to use fn key to enter numbers not like when they are all at the top.
I'm going to admit that I love the iphone keyboard
The spacing between the keys just works for me
I've been trying to duplicate that on my evo and having a hard time
Tried swype and eh
Tried swiftkey and its great but keys are super close to each other
Tried the droid multi touch and it feels slow
Tried htc mod and its closer since I can modify the spacing but still Its a bit slow
Anyone have any recommendations or tips for a keyboard

All the ones I would recommend you already listed! lol. My two favorite are swiftkey and swype. I haven't seen any keyboard like Iphones. Maybe better keyboard? You can always search the market and download some of the free keyboards and see if you like them. Good luck!
Free or paid?
Smart keyboard is pretty close to the keyboard. And if you want it to look like the iphone turn the alt labels off with caps always on in the setting.

Thanks for the suggestion
Well I have to say that even after 30 min of having it. It is already by far the best android keyboard I have used. I am in love with it thanks for the awesome suggestion!
I definitely agree. I got Smart keyboard on Thursday and I'm hooked. Lots of great customization as well. Check out the iPhone skin (although it may be enabled by default.) I'm using the black skin. LOVE IT.

Exactly the other keyboards lagged so I typed way faster than they could keep up with. Now its keeping up with my typing speed no problem. Looooove this keyboard
I have seached every where to find a keyboard like the sense one that comes stock for evo to run on CM7. I have found the htc_ime kitchen which is pretty close but they dont have the arrow buttons to move the cursor.
Anyone have any idea where i can get a keyboard with arrow buttons to move the cursor for CM7?
The arrows are Sense only, I think. Some of the 3rd party keyboards may have the arrows, though.
However, I use the HTC_IME keyboard in CM7/MIUI with no issues. You can set the volume rocker keys to move the cursor back and forth.

I will dig this, because there's no still any IME mod with cursor keys, and I believe it can be done, we just need gingerbread base for this one, not the foryo's, and maybe more, I don't know, but it should be possible. There are much more ppl who will use it.
By the way, "swipe" actions allow to move a word back and forth. It's not the same, but may ease your life.

Again, Swiftkey X is worse. I see no other Swiftkeys in the market. By the way, Swiftkey is not free. Sense is... I had it on my phone as a factory default, so not discussing the licensing too deeply, it's like it would be free ;>. I just would like HTC DHD IME ported to CM7, or something very, very similar in the layout and features.

Just out of curiosity, what don't you like about swiftkey? I've tried out just about every keyboard there is over the last few years and I keep coming back to swiftkey x. The customizations, themes and predictions are top notch imo.

Layout is worse. Some functions are not present (don't remember which ones, tested quite a few weeks ago). It's not free, it's a trial only which will stop working at some point leaving a user which used to it with a choice of paying or getting used to another - not worth of the time if you won't like it, if you will, then it's just a luck. It would be much better to make featureless free version than time limited trial (called "free" in the market by the way - not very polite to lie...)

To each their own, I suppose. I find that the location of the comma and period on the main screen (without having to long press or go to a page 2) makes this one of the best layouts out there.
happy hunting!

Yep, I maybe just used to it too much, but it's too late now ;P. Thanks, but I do not know honestly I will stay with CM, so maybe I will just switch back to Sense... CM is buggy .

If you are looking for another option outside of sense, I've been running Decks reloaded for a few weeks now and it is awesome. I've had trouble with CM being buggy in the past, and I get bored on sense roms but this sucker is slick and FAST. I've been flashing roms on this baby for nearly 2 years now and this is by far the fastest and most stable rom I have ever run:

Hey,
Whats the Best keyboard app for SGSII?
What do you guys use for faster typing?
Thanks.
Latest Swype, it's amazing.
Trying the TouchPal V5.1 now, it's amazing too so far, lets see with which one I fix at last.
There were already some threads regarding this too.

5.1? Where did you find it please? It's not on market and maybe I've missed some twit from cootek. It's my main keyboard for month!
I prefer the standard Gingerbread keyboard. You can download it from the Android Market. Once you use it for a good period of time, you get used to it.

SwiftKey X is excellent! Definitely worth the money. Go and download the one month trial.
ive tried a lot of them but keep going back to the htc mod someone made for it. Still the best one in my opinion

I would be interested in new keyboard .. but I don't want any prediction. I want nice layout portrait and landscape, perfect reaction time. Customizable layout would be sweet, as so far, nothing really fits my needs.
Edit: looks like Smart Keyboard is going to cut it for me ! Lots of customization .. and some neat Czech options ..
Swiftkey X. My typing is TERRIBLE but it has fantastic auto-correction, so now I never have to worry about typos.

+1 for SwiftKey X
and also this is what I like about this keyboard:
- great prediction and auto completion,
- simultaneous use of different languages so don't have to remember to change language like in swype
- It can even predict little town names (at least in UK) and start them with capital letters.
- when you want to come back to previous words, you can still use dictionary, it doesn't treat them as a bunch of single letters but as a word.
It was my best buy from the market.

Well... That's very nice. I'll have to give that keyboard a try.
Edit: Predictions are excellent, I've got to say. Very nice keyboard.
And having two languages at the same time is killer
I'm using Swype. Couldn't stand Swiftkey because it kept predicting the wrong words for me.
That said, I do love the latest Swype with prediction.
Swiftkey
Its by far the best, and gets better the longer you use it.

The latest beta 3.26 is the best one yet. Get's my vote by far, and I've bought other keyboards. Excellent multi-language support and editable dictionary, gestures, etc. It's getting to be amazing.
nothing beats gingerbread keybard or latest swype is good
Hi,
Sorry for the newb question. Just converted from the dark side..
I love my HTC One X, but the keyboard is driving me nuts. I had a brief run with a Galaxy Nexus recently and found the standard keyboard on that much better for me and more like what I was used to on iOS.
Is there anyway to replace the standard HTC keyboard with the default ICS one without flashing a new rom? If I can't disable the HTC one has anyone got a recommendation for the replacement from the market? I did try the free ICS keyboard but couldn't seem to get it to activate after selecting it in settings > keyboard.
I do know a couple of people who have installed this and found it to be very good. Its a port of the ICS keyboard.

Thanks. That one seems to allow me to enable it. First impressions seem good. At least it doesn't take half the screen up as well!

I'm using a stock ICS keyboard from the Market. Makes life much easier than the rubbish HTC attempt. Shame about the persistent input switcher in the notifications bar though.
