Ultra Keyboard - works with our hard keyboard

Now, I am not the dev of this app but I am here to sing its praises.
Its a great keyboard app for virtual keyboard, it has pretty much all the features that other keyboards have, including swype.
Anyway it utilises a great spell check feature and good toolbar that can also be used for our hard keyboard, this makes work correction and things like copy and paste very very easy to use.
Now I currently don't know of any other keyboards where features move over to the hard keyboard, but this is certainly worth looking into, I love it.

there is a free trial available too.

what do you mean? how does it work together with the hw keyboard?

Yeah, SwiftKey (an infinitely BETTER keyboard, by the way) works fine with the HW keyboard, and the features of their software works with the HW keyboard. There's a reason it's #3 in the Market, and Ultra Keyboard is #578.

It does not work with the hardkeys ÅÄÖ and possibly others, they are always uppercase :/

its hardly fair to judge it based on that, swiftkey is made by a company and has had loads of publicity, ultra keyboard is made by one individual and has flown well under the radar.
As a keyboard Ultra is the best keyboard around, the only feature its missing is the prediction that swiftey offers.

I have some beef with the developer, so I'm a little biased anyways, and SwiftKey only has publicity because it created hype, anyone can hype their app.
Look at BlindType, Google bought them based on hype alone, the app was never released.
Ultra's alright, I just hated the prediction on the Compact QWERTY, it seemed like it had about 3 words pre-programmed in and everything else was missing and had to be typed in. If he released optional language packs like SK does, I probably wouldn't have as big an issue with it.

Defy keyboard

Hello all
I have come from a galaxy s, still getting used to a smaller keyboard.
I found the stock blur keyboard worked a bit better with my fat thumbs is it possible to install on cm7? Also if anyone has installed it could you send me the keyboard.apk.
Thanks in advance.

Must say I find the stock multi-touch keyboard to be plenty large in landscape. That said have you tried the "iPhone Keyboard"? There's a free version on the market. It seems more comfortable to use and I also have large fingers.

Ill check out iPhone keyboard.
Never really put phone into landscape maybe I need too

Wildfire S keyboard

Hello,

It's not on market because it hasn't been released to the public.To get Swype - it's still in beta but works perfectly. You need to sign up to download it - start here: http://beta.swype.com/android/create/
Swype however isnt a normal keyboard loll, you have to slide your finger/thumb across the letters to create a word and release your finger from the screen to make a space. It's amazingly cool.
If you're looking for a normal fast keyboard Swiftkey X is excellent, and you can find that on the market.

Very similar: SlideIt, pretty cheap and easy to switch between languages, can be tried out! Very fast for me.

Shall have a look

hi thanks i downloaded android keyboard from market its cool fast and smoth also free

Keyboards

Just wanted to share some experiences with software keyboards, I've certainly tried a few and depending on the circumstance suggest the following:
If you're someone that likes using your thumbs to type, then Thumb Keyboard is an excellent one:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.beansoft.keyboardplus
If you're more of a one handed user (such as commuting and having to use a hand to hold on to something) then you can't beat Swype:
http://www.swype.com/
And if you're someone that holds the phone with one hand and does the clickety-clack with with the other, then I suggest Swiftkey X with it's great prediction engine is your best bet:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.touchtype.swiftkey.phone.trial
Finally, if you don't necessarily fall into a particular preference as listed there's FlexT9 that's a 4-in-1 piece of code (Speak, Trace, Write or Tap) so you can get your pick of the litter in one product:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nuance.flext9.input
** Swype is in a little bit of a funky state, you have to sign-up for their Beta program to get it (which means free). They were bought by Nuance and a recent update added the Dragon Dictation engine to the software. It'll be interesting to see if/how Nuance deals with having 2 keyboard products (Swype and FlexT9).

I like the Gingerbread Keyboard, specifically because it allows use different languages.
Unfortunately OEMs remove most languages from stock rom, so I'm forced use an app for that:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.moo.android.inputmethod.latin.free
I've tried Go Keyboard and ICS Keyboard, but they don't feel right, Go Keyboard is way to big on the screen and ICS doesn't have a nice GB's language switch by swiping sideways space bar.

swype
So, Does anyone actually use swype is it good or what? I find my accuracy is horrid on the GB keyboard.

I've gotten pretty good at Swyping, but I still can't do it on a bumpy car ride with any sort of reliability. I'm using a customized theme and I love it.

I love Swype! To make it usable for me since I rush when I swype I have to turn the prediction accuracy up (its an option in the swype options) but after that its awesome!

I've been a Swype user since Windows Mobile 6.0 on my Xperia X1, and I'm absolutely stuck now. I ONLY ever use my phone with one hand and Swype with my thumb in portrait mode (I always have auto-rotate disabled), but I can type almost as quickly as on a full keyboard on a laptop (albeit with a few extra errors =) ). It took some months (maybe a year =P) before I got really really comfortable with it, but now, no other keyboards will do for me! I'm completely conditioned. The Swyping shortcuts for everything from punctuation to all caps to cut/paste are indispensable. I'm nervous that it's in beta, because whenever they finally make a product and start selling it, no matter what they charge I WILL pay =)

I might just have to try it. I'm giving the lgkeyboard a chance.. its spaced a lot nicer but has its flaws for sure

i quite like the LG's Keyboard actually, but like u said, it has some flaws. This is the keyboard I currently use:
Hacker's Keyboard

Wow beats gigngerbread keyborad hands down! Thanks.

Swift keyboard here for the last two years. I like the multilingual word completion and big keys.

[APP] Multiling Keyboard

Hello, as we all undoubtedly know, the W has a very small RAM, so we really must be frugal with it.
No doubt many of you are also familiar with Swype, but perhaps are reluctant to install it due to its size. And perhaps you are also unsatisfied with SwiftKey's much-hyped "flow through space" feature.
If so, then perhaps you would be interested with a less well-known keyboard called "Multiling Keyboard". It's kind of similar to Swype, but it's much lighter. And it has some features that neither Swype nor SwiftKey have.
Get it from the Play Store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kl.ime.oh

This and all discussion?
And after all the keyboard - really remarkable! :good:
