Stock Keyboard way too small!

This phone is so awesome, but I'm about to lose my mind with the landscape keyboard. Does anyone know of something to help that ISNT skype or the paid ones on the market? Maybe a mod to make the stock keyboard bigger? Moto multitouch keyboard?

swiftkey and go keyboard are the best third party keyboards, in my experience.
they're larger than the stock ICS keyboard. though IMO the stock keyboard is the best one

You may buy the external connected key broad, is potable. Usually under 20 dollars. Good Luck.

For free, I would try Go Keyboard (has typing and swype abilities), also try the swype beta (google it, not on the market).
Paid, I love swift key.
Personally, I bounce between stock, swype, and swift key.
IMO, the best of them all is the stock keyboard. If you like swype you like swype. As far as regular keyboards go, you cannot beat the responsiveness of the stock ICS keyboard.

I believe the ics keyboard on the market allows you to adjust the key height. It also has gestures. There a few out there so pm me if you can't find it and I'll dig up the link.

As others have said the Go keyboard is probably the best free. I am a fan of the FlexT9 keyboard. It is kind of a mix of swype and swiftkey. Got it for free on the amazon app store. It has issues typing email address in the Gmail app for some reason.

Thanks all. I ended up buying swiftkey. Its great and all, but in the end I decided to just force myself to get used to the stock keyboard. I was spoiled by the eclipse rom keyboard on the bionic...

I use the ICS Keyboard which has been ported to Gingerbread (Market)
If you delete swype from your phone and install the new beta from their website, it is the best swipe to type keyboard for android

AGREE!!!
I also deleted Swype and downloaded Swype beta. defintily worth a try.
Only thing for me was that it show a little pop up saying that swype can read all details you type in using it (passwords, credit card details etc.) when you activate it after install.
But in most cases if its a real private thing I am typing I am hust quickly switching back to samsung keyboard.

the keyboard is very nice gingerbread!
has the view of windows phone and is very cute! recommend you try this too! You can also download the dictionary for those languages ​​for the completion of words!

[Q] keyboards

Hi does anybody know if there is a good t9 keyboard available from the market and not super keyboard pro which i think is crap i just dont like the keyboard on the nexus its not a patch on the HTC sensation I had previously. I have tried super keyboard pro etc and I hate it. I dont like the word prompts at the top of the page etc and its slow and also terrible when you turn t9 off its fiddly to use. I have tried everything....

Swiftkey X is my favourite keyboard, but there are plenty of options.

T9? or just any Keyboard? Swype Beta is available for the GN now, so you could try that one out.

I use Even Better NumberPad Keyboard or Perfect Keyboard. Both give me a nice t9 experience. I'm not exactly a qwerty guy

Best rom with Swype?

Hey guys!
I wanted to know what you guys think is the best ROM with the Galaxy S III that gets to keep Swype with it.
I pretty much need swype and the "Beta Swype" sucks.
The stock one that comes with the phone is perfect.
Or if I could backup swype and then get it again with a custom ROM that would be perfect too

I don't think our phones come stock with the Swype app on them...You could try Ti backup or I have the JB 4.2 keyboard that I can give you which has a swipe type feature on it. Try this out. http://db.tt/gFNEwThQ

They don't come stock with name-brand Swype, but the Samsung keyboard does have a Swype alternative that comes with the phone. As for a CM10/AOSP based ROM that has this Samsung keyboard in it, I've not seen one. I have seen plenty that come with the 4.2 keyboard that Robbie mentioned that allows for the Swype. Also SwiftKey has their SwiftKey Flow beta out that's pretty slick. I'll do a bit more research and see if there's a way to flash the Samsung keyboard back on AOSP ROMs without issue. You can try Titanium Backup like Robbie suggested to backup the Samsung keyboard on a TW ROM and then restore it on a different ROM, or try one of the alternatives in the mean time
(Though as an aside, this is the first I've heard of someone preferring Samsung's Swype to the Swype beta )

Well I tried to edit my previous post, but apparently it goes flagged and wouldn't let me , so sorry for the double post.
But it looks like you should be able to flash the file in this link to get your stock Samsung keyboard back on AOSP ROMs:

the samsung 4.1.1 rom comes with swype built in, in addition to the samsung with swype-like capabilities. it's a bit better than the samsung keyboard.
swiftkey flow beta is nice. my preference is the vanilla 4.2 keyboard. Those with Titanium Backup can convert either of these keyboards to system apps to avoid the "non system keyboard" security messages.

Keyboard for Lollipop

WHat keyboard are people using? I have Swype, Swiftkey, the default Samsung, Google and I am not really happy with any of them...

Swype forever!

I switch between Fleksy and Minuum

Swiftkey w/ lollipop skins

Swiftkey with Material Dark Theme
What I love about Swiftkey, is that with the cloud feature, it learns my typing habits from multiple devices over the years.
So much so, that once installed on new devices, it can predict my hashtags.
Also, for me, it has the best word prediction of all the keyboards I've tried (Swype, Samsung, Google)
