Hi all,
Back when I had my droid X, I used swiftkey which I loved. Someone themed it to look like Windows 7 and I fell in love even more. With my nexus, I decided to not use swiftkey for now, I think the stock ICS keyboard is pretty good, but has anyone themed it? I tried searching for themed keyboards, but (understandably) most are re-themed gingerbread keyboards.

There is a thread about themed Swype. It's the newest version and it does work. Several to choose from. I've been bugging the Swiftkey folks via Twitter and Facebook about turning their pumpkin orange theme into an ICS theme but they keep punking me off saying " theming is coming! " ... sheesh! It's a color change in the files used for the halloween theme. So I've been using the ICS themed Swype.

Actually, the Swiftkey's Neon theme is quite ICS-ish.
I like the Swiftkey Dark keyboard, but have to use stock until they have the voice input working like ICS. Don't like swiftkeys implementation since voice input in ICS is so much better.

Thanks, I guess I've been holding off on both swype and swiftkey to give this ICS keyboard a chance. I really like the voice features. I assume much like other apps, someone could create a WP7 theme for the stock ICS keyboard right? I wouldn't even know where to start, but I want to learn how...

My thoughts exactly, and to be honest while the dark keyboard is very good, it's still not WP7. I'm not sure what it is but I love their 2D implementation/design.

Hey all, I've been wondering if there's any themes around for the stock Android keyboard? I've searched far and wide, and haven't found a thing, only for different phones (like the N1), I know there's the DX keyboard with themes..but the stock Android keyboard is my favorite. Any help would be much appreciated! TIA!
I have my stock keyboard themed in my blue theme. The reason why you don't see android keyboard themes is because the pics are in framework-res and by installing a keyboard only theme it would erase any other theme you have installed.
Big headache here. I successfully loaded the Blu Kuban 1.0.5.1 ROM onto my E4GT; however, the new "skinned" keyboard with tiny font is killing my eyes. I haven't been able to find any information on how to change the keyboard font and/or enlarge the keyboard font size. I have scoured the internet and phone settings without success. Any ideas how to accomplish this?

You could try a newer version of Swype which isn't themed or another keyboard.
Mac,
Thanks for your suggestion. It appears that may be my only option. I checked out the Swype website, and they actually have another version out in beta that I can download and customize, though it still has bugs. Many thanks for your time and helpful feedback.
There are also lots of keyboards in the play store
Perfect Keyboard Pro is my recommendation. You can customize every aspect of it
If you want to give the 4.2 Android keyboard, Rujelus pulled it from my GSM GNex and deodexed and signed so you can install on any ROM. Its better than Swype. Or you can try changing font size in settings or change font altogether. If you want to try 4.2 keyboard...thanks go to Rujelus

Hi,
I love exDialer and it's probably my favorite app but I would really love it if someone themed it to match the Xperia 2012 line of phones. It solves the issue of the stock dialer which takes ages to load and offers advanced functionality. I wouldn't mind it being a paid app.
Thanks

So guys, I took the plunge and got myself a brand new grey Note 2. Coming from a Gnex I couldn't be more happy. However, what's up with the abysmal blueish theme throughout (internet browser, menu headers, etc)? Is there a way to change it, without rooting that is? I nearly perfected the Note 2 using Nova and some apps, but this blue theme is killing me
Use another browser

No, I will not use another browser since stock is best/smoothest. It's not only about the browser. Also the dialer, settings menu (headers), etc. The blue color scheme overall really.

Well, that's touchwiz for ya... You can only flash a theme for your ROM, there should be another better solution soon (I hope) with the help of Xposed framework and XTheme, but for the time being we have no ported themes for this...
Im running http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2725121 with the note PRO onscreen keyboard. Are there any themes I can flash with TWRP? I like the keyboard, but I wish I could change the colors.
