Hiya,
the one from the market works fine on my Galaxy Nexus, but the last VIP beta i tried wouldn't let me into the settings. The cool blue theme goes really well with ICS on the phone - enjoy!
It works for the mast part with ICS, but it is currently bugged in it's display / GUI. The devs are aware of the issue, and are hoping to have it resolved within the week.

Can we use old dictionaries from Gingerbread with it? My dictionary did specialize quite a lot with months and months of use and I'd like to use it with ICS again. Did anyone try that?
Does anyone using SwitfKey have a keyboard icon in the notification bar which says "Select Input Method" ?

Happens as soon as you install any third party keyboard. It's the same in honeycomb and i think it's a quite good feature.

Is there a way to do this? I can't stand Swype... I like the predictive text of the Android keyboard (how it shows words at the top)... but for some reason my calibration seems off and I keep mistyping words.
Any alternative keyboard with the same predictive text feature of the stock android keyboard.
Why don't you just turn swype off in menu, settings, keyboard, uncheck swype.
I did turn off swype. I'm using the stock android keyboard... but the calibration seems a little off, and I'm kind of annoyed with how i'm pressing a button and it's registering the button to the left of it when I'm pretty accurate.
Just looking for an alternative that's similar to the Stock, or a calibration feature.
Try SwiftKey
Same thing is happening to me. Annoying as heck!
I know that it used to be possible to install the htc_ime even if you weren't rooted. Is there an htc_ime out there that will run on 2.2? I had one running on my CM5.0.8 G1. The HTC keyboard also has a calibration tool and was MUCH better than the standard VK.

Not sure if it'll work but you and try it. Report back.
Wow, thanks man I'll def try this.
I don't know if it's the placebo effect but it appears to be working. Before, anytime I hit the JKLMN keys and the delete key it would hit the key to the left of it.
Time will tell. Thanks!

Thats cool. I had not idea it was going to work. I just googled "android keyboard calibration apk" and found that.

Update! The keyboard in the thread I just quoted above is the best keyboard you'll ever use if u aren't a Swype fan. Better than any vk I've ever used. And it comes with a calibration tool that's fantastic.

Before you post the link to the XDA noob video, no, this isn't a question about 'how to enable autocorrect on the stock keyboard'
It's actually a question about autocorrect on the stock Samsung Keyboard.
Is there any way to force the autocorrect bar to permanently stay above the keyboard when XT9 is enabled, like the Gingerbread keyboard? When typing in, say, the Messaging app, the autocorrect bar pops up when I enter something and disappears when I hit space, making the little text entry box go up-and-down-and-up-and-down making me quite dizzy since my eyes have to bob up and down.
I would just use the gingerbread keyboard but the banding on that kb is annoying.
If it matters, GT-i9100, VR1.1, pulser_g2's KE2 multi-CSC package (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14254203#post14254203)
Thanks!
Im currently using the Gingerbread Keyboard from Marketplace, as far as im aware there is nothing at the moment that can be done to stop the autocorrection box appearing/Disappearing !
i think the samsung keyboard is rather annoying, the space bar is way too small causing me to press the . button atleast 1 in every 5 words.. annoyance !
i have been looking everywhere for a fix, nothing so far!
i hope this thread will get enough attention and the keyboard can be modded.
the only reason im not using samsung keyboard is because of this issue
OK, I just downloaded the version from the Market (the free one from Steven Lin, right?).
No banding )) but vibrate on keypress doesn't do anything.
Can you test on yours and see if vibe works?
Thanks!
X9 in settings that is what enables it. Though doesn't work on custom roms I have no idea why.
Cheers.
You mean to enable autocorrect for the stock Samsung keyboard?
Re-read my post. I have no problem enabling it, but it's the execution that is annoying.
If only I could get vibration working for the Gingerbread keyboard (the apk I got off xda works, but there's noticeable banding, while the one off the market has no banding but vibe doesn't work).

I am also using the Gingerbread Keyboard and it is 100% better, more responsive and better with predictive text than the crappy Samsung KB.
At the end of the day I got HTC_IME installed and will probably be sticking with that.
No banding, vibration works, autocorrect is great & doesn't give me a seizure. Only problem is that it crashes the Samsung Email app (but I use the stock Gmail app so it's not a problem).
Does anyone know how to get vibration working on the Market GB kb?
Thanks!

if you use gingerbread KB you need to change the Vibrate setting to "normal" in advanced settings and it should work !
Thanked you accidentally too Lol. but you can keep it

Why thank you very much. I have returned the favor
Well actually I would have thanked you either way, since setting the vibe intensity to Normal as you suggested worked.
Thanks again
I'd recommend Thumb Keyboard or Swiftkey X Beta. both a LOT better than the Samsung KB and both offer superior prediction and customisation. Thumb has split KB and customisation too.

Is it just me or does the vibrate seem to be a bit stronger than other keyboards (particularly the Samsung one)? Just a minor niggle lol.
whoo hundredth post! I'm a senior member now
Smart Keyboard Pro for me.
Another keyboard to consider is Smart Keyboard Pro. It has tons of options to configure.

Can you still use swype with one of these keyboard apps?
I use swiftkey x and swype alternatively depending on what I'm typing. The prediction in swiftkey is spooky good.
I bought Smart Keyboard Pro. Autocorrect is as good as the others and I like the themes. Which one should I stick with...

LOL thanks. Not my first Android phone though On the others I just stuck with the stock kb (HTC_IME and the SE ime) which weren't too bad. The Samsung one is just that bad (anything which gives me a headache ain't good).

Yeah, just press & hold the text box and select Input Method.
Right this is annoying me, I have just updated to 1.28 just and there isn't an option to fix it still.
How can I change the $ sign to £ sign on stock keyboard, there isn't an option at all and it's driving me crazy as to get a £ sign I have to press like 4 buttons!
I don't want to install another keyboard, though the small space bar annoys me so might have too.

Of course, assuming you are on gingerbread and have a kernel that supports BLN.
app is BLN control
I am on ICS running the IML74K_Ics_Perfection II rom. I tried to install the Synergy kernel but ended up with a boot loop. Any ideas on how to remedy this issue or point me in the correct way.

Bud, you can't run gingerbread kernels on ICS. Which also means you can't have softkey notification on ICS. Flash aN ICS kernel and you'll be fixed.
From what I recall synergy is a gb kernel. U cannot use a gb kernel with an ics rom. Until source code is released, u have to pick. Either no ics, and bln control works, or use ics and forgo bln until source comes out
Thanks!
You can try an app called Noled, it doesnt use softkeys though. It uses the screen to light up icons.

I use BLN pro (ofcourse with a compatible kernel and a GB rom).
It's pretty neat and can be configured for your sofkeys to blink at a custom rate(I set mine at half a second off and on) so it looks like regular leds. Some iphone users think its pretty legit!
Only reason I have yet to switch to ICS is because of no BLN support, no OC and no DOCK audio

if stock keyboard, just try disable this gesture typing.
- if all setting properly checked but still got issues try reset keyboard by clear data & cache from setting> apps> keyboard.
- if still the same, re-root, install back any good ROM or custom kernel.
thats why we here, bcoz we dont want to use something c**** from stock!!

Do you have Google keyboard v3?
Install swype.
Profit.
I WAS also having issues with lag on swype, but after disabling all the settings I don't use(like next word prediction, the aosp spell checker) and double space period, and then disabled auto spacing but then enable auto spacing again(for some reason my lag did not go away until I toggled this off/on again) things are running smooth.
You can try same with Google keyboard settings, and if you don't need aggressive spell check then disable that as well.
If it mainly lags while you are on the charger, it could also be due to the device getting warm and CPU hitting the thermal throttle temperature causing max freq of 700mhz to be used until CPU temp drops again.
The problem is like this and is not solved

I will tell you my exact problem...
It happens mostly when i am typing on xda website.. When typing everything is perfect but when i press backspace it deletes the letters of the first line even though i press only backspace it changes its position (reason unknown) and also when i am scrolling throughout the page sometimea it throws me to the top.. It also happens in messages and about that prs i also tested it and most of the time it is above 40 but it is not constantly over 40 so that maybe the reason....

It was annoying and typing was very difficult with it
It is still present but I am ok with it since cm rom is the most bug free rom (atleast for me)
