Yep times 2. But im using swype. This is my best keyboard and better than slide it.
I use smart keyboard - far better than stock or even the HTC IME mod
Can you tell me in what way a keyboard is better than another?

Well the stock one annoyed me because the word suggestions appear over the top of what your writing, so you can't read what you've just typed.
smart keyboard has a section above the keyboard where the suggestions appear, so they don't get in the way.
also i found i hit the full stop button too often on the stock one as the space bar was too small.
smart keyboard has a free version so try that. but it doesn't have the word correction - that's only in the pro verison
switched to swype a few days ago, don't know if i'll be able to use traditional keyboards again lol
the word prediction is just amazing and much faster than typing on the standard htc sense keyboard
Swype without a doubt.
100% recommended.

Keyboard as portrait mode when in landscape use?
Hi guys! With stock keyboard on Desire, it is pretty good to use it in portrait mode, however, when you try in landscape mode -to take benefits of the larger buttons as well- you must forgo the rest on the page/app or whatever on the screen, because the screen is then full with keyboard and text input box only.
Is there any keyboard which is not covering the whole screen (this may be possible with an input field consisting of one, scrollable line) ??
i find swype incredibly slow, there is no way that one finger sliding to each key is faster than tapping with two thumbs in opinion.
Such choices are relative by definition.
IME, HTC_IME mod keyboard is the best all round followed by Swype in some regards. However, Swype disabling multi-touch in the browser kills its appeal on my end unless I'm using an app where I don't require the zoom feature.
And yep, Swype-ing words is faster, much faster, as odd as that might sound... simply because you don't have to hit the actual keys to bring the whole word up in prediction, and even when you hit a few wrong keys in a word, very surprisingly, Swype 99/100 auto-corrects the word or at least offers the correct word to choose -- far more forgiving than the other traditional keyboards. The detection, prediction and auto-correction are what make the product work. I basically scribble everything in if using it, and do it very fast with little error, less than a traditional on-screen keyboard if trying that much speed anyway (sure, there is an initial learning curve like with anything new. It 'aint a 2 day affair).

This is one major beef of mine on this phone too. It makes the landscape mode quite redundant in many usages.
I don't know of any such app yet.

I can't see why people like Swype over slide it.
I have installed Swype 3 times and each time go back to slide it. Swype although in beta just isn't as good.
For example when you want to do a double letter you need to do a stupid little circle over the letter. WHY? Also its not as accurate. Also I have consistently had a 40% fail rate with words.
Slide it is accurate, I hardly get any mistakes, it knows when you want or need a double letter. I can almost write as quick as if I were typing on a full size keyboard.
The only advantage Swype has is it looks good. I'm amazed people rate it over the far superior slide it.

How To use HTC_IME? how to mods it?
What I'd really like is to be able to use Swype in portrait, and HTC in landscape...
This is much better than all those:

Devs/XDA buddies,
I have tried looking with no success(Forgive me if I have overlooked). I am looking for a custom keyboard (like GB's) with swipe but with the English/Spanish button removed and the swipe tutorial removed. With these two buttons removed it would make an awesome space bar. It seems like I am all the time hitting the period or comma in error. I have tried some other keyboards from the market and they are a little odd for me.
Thanks in advance for your help!!

not really sure but i use better keyboard when i do use my screen as a keyboard bought it a while ago but dont know if it has swipe functions like swype does. have you tried to look in the settings menu to remove these languages? i dont use swype nor do i really like the default layout but i am sure there is a fix for your discomfort. there are other keyboards in the market that offer some sort of swype-like functions!

Thanks for your help.. I have went through all the settings.. There is a setting that even ask you what you want for your primary language.. If you chose that option it still has the button enabled. Usually to get to the keyboard settings you can long press the English/Spanish button to get to your lang settings..same with the tutorial button. There is a setting to disable it but it still works. hehe.. But yeah i am still in search for a decent keyboard even if i have to sacrifice swype..
gb keyboard is nice although i dont know if it has a swipe function but yeah, np, check out the market and have fun experimenting! If you're like me i just download all that i think might be the one and definitely delete the ones that prove no purpose or have memory leak bugs or any bugs i prefer not to work around!
Go keyboard has swype and a nice sized spacebar. That might suit your needs.

Thanks for your advise.. Been trying to use the Go keyboard for a couple days. The interface is lovely. Tried using the swype and its terrible. I am still looking though for a nice new keyboard..
So folx
Im using the stock one, but im thinking of replacing it because of landscape lag (if the custom one will solve the lag in landscape) and enter key..
What keyboard you use ?
Swype.

Smart keyboard has been my go-to for a LONG time now. I still use it, but I find myself just using the stock ICS keyboard more and more...
I think I've tried just about every one out there (swiftkey, Go, ultra, better, touchpal, etc.) I still think Smart keyboard is the best. Love the customization, the tap-a-word to correct option, large space bar, gestures, etc. It just does everything well. It still uses the old voice-to-text style, and I do love the new voice-to-text options in ICS (word by word). I wish there was a way to access the new way in it...
Stock for me... Used the HTC IME across my other phones (HTC or not) but actually like the stock ICS one more now...
Swype Swype
I like STOCK ICS very much, but the darn landscape lag is irritating me.. And the missing of enter button... But the landscape lag is killing me .. Thats why im considering another keyboard... But i think ill stick to the stock one for little more time
Moslty ICS stock
Sometimes Swiftkey
For me swiftkey is the best. I'm just waiting for an ICS theme. Than it would be perfect

Stock ICS Keyboard themed by me.
Is there a keyboard with programmable keys? so i can assign emails, .com.
I use Swiftkey. Seems that finnish language prediction works best with it and it can handle multiple languages at the same time so its nice.
I am extremely happy with the stock keyboard. That is the first time i've ever been able to say that with any Android phone i've ever owned. I have almost every keyboard available (smart keyboard, swift key, etc) and none even compare to the ICS keyboard when it comes to auto correction.
I read somewhere that Google purchased a company developing an app called "Blind Type" and incorporated that into the ICS keyboard and i believe it. I can type very very quickly and it still does a fantastic job of auto correcting for me.
My girlfriend also has a Nexus and hated the look of the stock keyboard and has since then tried all other keyboards as well... she settled on smart keyboard but has said that even that is not quite as accurate as the ICS keyboard.
She is a very precise typer though and I rely on auto correct heavily to type as fast as I do.

Smart Keyboard. It comes with a dedicated .com button which can also be customized to long press other things (such as www. , .ca , .org etc)
As for me..I always used Smart Keyboard, up until ICS that is. I've been loving the improved accuracy and spell correction now implemented with the stock ICS...although I do still miss some features from Smart (such as some of the swipe options and number layout).
Does anyone know what roms allow you to hide or disable the little keyboard icon when you use different keyboards?

+1 for smart keyboard.
I really like the gestures and long-press for numbers/special characters. Also can change skins to modify the look of it. The auto correct/spell check is still pretty good with ICS.

Can someone post an ICS themed (Black background and ICS Blue letters/numbers) keyboard apk that will work on a stock rooted 4.0.2 build?
I'm using perfect keyboard pro
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

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

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.

Thanks alot
Yes swype works on mutiwindow, as swype is not a seperate keyboard now, its a part of stock keyboard
Also swype from the site works well

is this correct?
I've just installed swype keyboard free on my SN2, and when i am using multi window, and getting the keyboard out for typing and email, it didnt have that 'floating' keyboard feature like the samsung stock?
same goes for all 3rd party keyboards, that in the multi-window environment, if you are typing something, it'll just dock to the bottom of the screen, not able to 'float' to be able to move it around for easy view/type.
