Working great on the captivate
the keyboard is working great on the Samsung Captivate. No issues thus far.

The one ported to Nexus one does not install for me.
Can you please tell me where you got it from?

I got it from the page linked - have you allowed non market apps to be allowed on your phone?
(Settings -> Programs -> Allow Unknown Sources)

Yes I have this checkbox marked.. also I have Root access on my SGS.
Strange... whould realy like to try the droid x keyboard..
Thanks for the reply Culturelol!

The stock samsung keyboard is also multitouch, you can also do the shift+letter for capital trick

I like the stock Samsung keyboard the keys are smaller so i find i make less mistakes.

Just got that installed on my SGS and it works great. Typing is a lot faster than the Samsung multi touch keyboard. However the prediction and suggestion when tping is not as good as the other input method, is there any way to improve this? Thanks.

Is it true that it doesn't have auto correct? I am awful at spelling

It does, but the dictionary has some weird entries so some words don't correct properly. For the most part it is fine though!

Hey...where did you download yours from...cause I installed it on my samsung vibrant and the keyboard works fine but the size of he letters on the keyboard are super small...did you have that happening to you?

I'm very much reliant on Swype now. It even remembers words that aren't English (I use Tagalog a lot). How much does this stack up to Swype? Or am I comparing Apples and Oranges here... or Bananas and Oranges? LOL

Looking for a better keyboard

The Samsung keyboard is seriously getting on my nerves so I'm looking for keyboard recommendations. Please post what keyboard you use and what you like/dislike about it. Thanks!

gingerbread free keyboard from the market is the best ive found, only thing is the letters dont have symbols like ? ! on them, but I can live with that for free

My new favourite keyboard is Perfect Keyboard! It is exactly as the name implies. Perfect.
Regards.

I love swiftkey x beta. Its proper nice

+1, free until beta expires in August.
Other good keyboards are Thumb keyboard and Smart Keyboard both of which I've used as well.

I perfer Smart Keyboard. Quite costumizeable. Try it and buy the pro version if you like it!

I'm new to swiftkey x beta and liking it a lot so thanks for the heads up.
But.... the correction and suggestions don't work in the stock email app which is a bit of a bummer. Its sooo much better than the stock samsung keyboard.
Might go ask on the swiftkey web page if no one here has any quick and easy fix.
Edit: Found this is common for after market keyboards on the i9100 email app Have also sent question to swiftkey
Wish there was an easy way to change the keyboard when in an app without going to home screen. On my i8000 running froyo i used to be able to hold the settings button the keyboard and the keyboard choices came up. Any way to access the choise of keybaord easily??????

SlideIT ftw.

+1 on that. It's simple and does what it's supposed to do well. Plus, if you search the I9000 forum, you'll find some nice skins, yes it's free and you can change the skin color!

Smart Keyboard has been my favourite for quite some time now. Plus I like the keyboard being a little longer as I find I hit the '.' so many times on the samsung keyboard and others. Its got a very good intuitive learning dictionary (think you have to turn it on first in settings).

Smart keyboard is great and has a lot of customization to it.
Personally love Swift Key. Can pretty much type a message only using the space bar.

Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

My opinion atm is: Swiftkey X beta > SlideIT > Swype

I personally like Smart Keyboard pro the most. Also the gingerbread keyboard is good but not that good.
I don't know about Skype. I am trying to learn it but somehow it just seems bad..so slow and annoying. Just more practice needed?

+1 for smart keyboard. Tried the different keyboards when I got my nexus one and just felt that the smart keyboard where right for me. It has the feature that makes iPhone keyboard so great that it makes the letters bigger by prediction of what word you are typing "behind the scene"

[Req] Gingerbread Keyboard for ICS

Can somebody please make an APK allowing installing the GB keyboard alongside the ICS one?
With all due respect- the ICS stock keyboard sucks. The GB stock keyboard was awesome!
Please help!!!

Just download it from the market.
EXT LTE Galaxy Nexus - 4.0.4
Asus Transformer - ICS

Actually, I extracted the LatinIME.APK from a CyanogenMod 7 file.
Then used Root Explorer to install it.
My fear is, and I have yet to check, that installing a new nightly (which I do whenever a new one become available) will reinstall the ICS keyboard over it.
Although I could go through the process of manually reinstalling the Gingerbread keyboard, I would much rather have a solution which doesn't require that.

This is the oddest problem I have ever heard.... what do you like more about the gingerbread keyboard?

Yeah I'd also like to know why you prefer the GB keyboard as opposed to the very similar but slightly better looking ICS keyboard?

First and foremost- swiping the space bar in order to switch between languages.

Excellent keyboard but that of gingerbread ics remains better in my opinion!

Updates:
Switched from the KANG version to the official nightly.
My workaround seemed to work on the KANG version, but doesn't on the official nightlies.
I agree that the ICS keyboard looks better.
I would very much appreciate it if anyone could create an APK for the ICS keyboard which allows swiping the space bar in order to switch languages.
I don't really know why this feature was dropped. Maybe I just don't know how to set it up. If you do- please educate me.
Thanks!

I have no idea why ics keyboard doesn't have the swipe keyboard support for changing language input. this is a step backwards for android.

You can toggle multiple language support in the keyboard settings,Then just long press the space bar

Duh...
I don't want to long press the space bar. I want to swipe it.

Well from your original post you did say swipe but you didn't make it clear that you were aware of the long press feature,I was just trying to be helpful & being rude or a smart ass isn't helpful nor does it earn you brownie points!!!
Besides,Swiping & long pressing aren't exactly day & night.It takes maybe a millisecond more to long press than to swipe.

I was neither rude nor a smart ass.
Just to be clear- long pressing the space bar isn't enough. You need to select the language too (yet another redundant press).
I don't know about day and night, but for me the difference is noticeable.
I'm still looking for a better solution than my current one. Would very much appreciate help, wherever and whoever it comes from.

Right on,Maybe I took it the wrong way.Yeah that's true,It's definitely not ideal.What about a ICS themed GB keyboard,That way you will have the functionality you seek while maintaining the ICS look? If that sounds good I could do that for you.

That sounds awesome, but I wouldn't ask that of you.
I'm thinking of requesting the swipe functionality from the guys at work on CM9. I'm pretty sure they can handle it.
Thanks for your help anyway. It is indeed much appreciated.

Oh no....u have to take an extra second to do something! Better go tell Google to stop ics updates...

Language support aside, I find ICS keyboard to be 10x better in every department when compared to the GB keyboard.

Last time I checked the guys working on CM9 aren't Google employees.
Although, even if they were, I just wrote I was thinking of requesting it. Requesting. Not demanding. Just requesting.
Thanks anyway!

is there a possibility to mod ICS keyboard and bring back the feature of swiping space bar/switch between input languages that way.
Thanks in advance.

Don't work(((

I also tried the existing zip file (htc_ime_jonasl_hires22_27.zip) on TF101 ICS but it does not work.
Any suggestions on how to get HTC IME for ICS?
I really love the ability to long press to get symbols, digits etc.

Anyone?

i'm on Calk's fc24 rom right now and the htc keyboard works for me

You'll need to go into preferences and turn off predictions. it's a known issue with ICS.

I kind of want the prediction... it defeats the point of wanting the T9 keyboard if prediction is disabled.

there's an app for that... go to the play store and search for an app called perfect keyboard. don't remember if it costs anything but not only can you choose the 123 board as an option, you can also theme the keyboard and resize it to match your current theme. try it out!

Hey auto thanks for the reply but the screenshot that I posted foes the same thing. But I actually was trying to stay away from using a third party keyboard. Wanted yo mow if a dev could implement the number pad within the stock ics keyboard. But thanks for the suggestion though. I will try our perfect if all else fails. I used to use better keyboard with the old android but ics keyboard rocks!

I knew about that... As he said, I don't want third party apps. I am looking for something REALLY simple. A numeric keypad, just like the stock one when you open something that request it (when you're setting the time on Alarm app). Maybe a tweak to make it user openable?
