I personally use and love swype. I text a ton and it gets the job done for me. I think a lot of it depends on personal preference though.

i love android default or ics keyboard that comes with swagged out stock rom i have big hands and i seem to make less error with them

The ICS keyboard is sweet looking I can agree with that. I have big hands too I think that's why Swype helps me out, plus you can theme it to look like the ICS keyboard or the Stock keyboard

I use smart keyboard pro.

I've stuck with this keyboard for months

I use the Gingerbread keyboard from the market and love it, simple, easy to use

I love the gingerbread keyboard. But there really isnt a best, its what you feel comfortable using.

Swype beta!
Swyped from mah 3vo!

The Hacker's Keyboard especially useful if you use ConnectBot for SSH access. Yes it has working Tab/Ctrl/Esc keys and arrow keys.
Dont forget the dictionaries, they are free too.

I use the stock android keyboard most of the time, or thumb keyboard when I want to switch it up. I can put TONS of skins on thumb keyboard, so it keeps it interesting.

Swype beta FTW!

I use SwiftKey. Have been using for 2 years and the nice thing about the keyboard is when I flash a new rom, the language database is stored on the sdcard. Great keyboard

Swiftkey X. The predictive text is the best I've tried.

Best keyboard for froyo

Hello to all,
I used the latest version me HTC ime mod keyboard and with eclair works well.
Since I have installed froyo keyboard sometimes became slow to respond.the stock touch input is better as speed of touch but is very very poor of functionality!
I have the latest version of HTC ime mod keyboard, any suggestion to improve the keyboard performance?
Thanks a lot

I switched to smart keyboard, it feels more natural than HTC's keyboard and funs fine on Froyo.
Where can I find this?
Have Italian translation and numeric keypad?
Thanks again

It's on the market, and there's a downloadable Italian keypad. Dunno if it shows on your market though...It's around $2 but there's a trial version
Since I always used the phone keypad and this is my first touch phone, is better for me if keyboard has the phone keypad support
Thanks

Another vote for Swype.
So accurate it is spooky
Another vote for Swype. It even works well as a tap keyboard.
hmm... where do we get swype from? or are you guys using a rom that already has it installed?
I have tried smart keyboard but is very similar to HTC mod keyboard.is not good for me.Swype is vary very wonderful but....how I can make chars like ?!' In my phrase???
Other suggestion?
Thanks!!

Give SwiftKey a try, I prefer it to Swype. Although I believe BlindType keyboard will trump every other keyboard once it's publicly available, BTW does anyone have a leaked beta of BlindType ?
SwiftKey gets my vote! Tried most of them and found it the best.
I vote better keyboard, theres a free beta on their blogsite.
has been working pretty well for me so far
Swype here. I love it, is just amazing.

Best Keyboard: Swype vs SwiftKey vs DroidX vs other?

What's your opinion?
I was just messing around and tried Swype, SwiftKey, stock, and the DroidX Multitouch. I definitely have to say the DroidX Multitouch is the best for both prediction, correction, and UI.
The nicest thing about the DroidX keyboard is that the multitouch prediction works on the hardware keyboard as well (good or bad thing).
Easily Swype FTW
I am trying out the multitouch keyboard right now and all i have to say that on the epic its epic. Its insanely fast. I like swype for when im driving since i can use 1 finger but for pure speed the droid x keyboard wins hands down.

where can you get a working HTC evo keyboard with arrows? I can't find one.
My favorite is Smart Keyboard Pro & Droid X keyboard. Both keyboards have built in multitouch. Smart keyboard pro is more customizable and looks better in my opinion.
Texting speed record was smashed with swype. It is by far the fastest keyboard you can get on a touchscreen phone.
Droid x for me

i used to use swiftkey because it had a lot of features most notably was the sms reader, it would scan your sms and "learn" commonly used words. worked witht he hw keyboard too, but i find myself using the sw one more often and im trying out thickbuttons right now
I would have said swype before i read this post.. but after reading this i downloaded the droid x keyboard and thats by far my favorite.. it actually makes me want to use teh screen instead of the physical keyboard

Another vote for Smart Keyboard Pro. Many options, languages, multitouch, several skins....
Tried it against HTC-IME v27 (nexus forum) which is also great, but SKP seemed a bit better...less errors IMO
So far I like Swiftkey. I didn't really want to learn Swype. I like the way Swiftkey learns to use autocorrect better. I was pretty impressed that I can send a lot of texts by typing ONE letter and then using the suggestions to complete the message.
I like ultra keyboard the best so far. It's well worth the dough. It's highly configurable. It has a swype method that I use in xt9 that's awesome!

Coming from the blackberry after 7 years, I was skeptical about onscreen in general. But, I was impressed with the evo after 2 weeks of predictive typing.
However, swype on epic is so effortless at times.
Overall I am more productive and efficient over the blackberry I feel.
I will try the droid x keyboard now...
epic. Where do I find it??

Favourite android keyboard for the HTC One X

Hey guys,
Just trying to get a few opinions on what you think is the best keyboard for the HTC One X. I just purchased Swift 3 keyboard and I think it's definitely worth it.
Much better than the original keyboard for sure. I really like the samsung galaxy nexus stock android keyboard that it comes with.
By the way jelly bean 4.1.1 is awesome!
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
SwiftKey is superb, they isn't a better keyboard out there.
Swiftkey 3 hands down :good::highfive:
Better than the stock android keyboard that is on the galaxy nexus though? With jelly bean it's pretty hard to beat I think.

Smart Keyboard here. Bedt there is.
Happy with the HTC stock

From my ONE X in your face!
Swiftkey 3
I used the SwiftKey Trial till it got over. Amazing keyboard, definitely worth the price.
Now I'm using Swype Beta and it kicks ass! Its so easy to type/swype words xD
Must say that after using SwiftKey 3 keyboard for only half an hour it seems like it is probably the best there is.
The predictive text is actually quite amazing if you ask me!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Another thing is, keyboard prediction RIM was showing off with its BB10 keyboard is already there on android with SwiftKey! The prediction is brilliant!
A.I. type keyboard. Brilliant! Best predictive text I've seen. A one touch £ if set to UK english, top row that can be hidden with a swipe for numbers and symbols, a drag handle to change the height at will, cut/copy/paste/select on long press of C and numerous themes. I can't fault it!
SwiftKey still the best.

I use hackers keyboard , will try swift keyboard in future
Swiftkey, ive had it since it was in beta stage and bought it immediately
Since I don't use text prediction / auto correction, I am satisfied with the stock AOSP ICS keyboard. Love the way it looks and I can type really fast on it without any prediction.
swiftkey 3 by far!

Best keyboard. App...

My vote goes to stock HTC keyboard and the patch created by jonasl for cm7 and cm9..... I simply love the HTC keyboard...... So simple and yet so effective and moreover, it never lagged !

I tried it. Without predictions. Awesome stuff. Thanks a lot.
I use TouchPal Keyboard and it's all right. I've tried a bunch of different ones and i find this the best out of all.
I loved the HTC stock keyboard when i had swype (T-mo app) but since i put a custom ROM on it, that's gone... and i just can't type without swype any more...
H.
If you are using cm9 or 10 ,then go for xperia s keyboard. Nice one . Try it .

Sammy keyboard sucks!

Swipe style typing is horrible & predictive text is poor to say the least. Anyone have better experience ?
Second that. It is complete crap. Realized that pretty quickly. Installed Swype beta the day after I got the phone and haven't looked back.
Just did the same....night and day

Definately a giant fail for Sammy, the kb blows. I've been using Swift 3 and loving it. I tried stock as well but couldn't deal with it for more than 1 week.
I agree the default keyboard is horrible. I've been using SwiftKey 3 and it's great, I highly recommend it.
Definitely agree, probably the worst keyboard ever.

SwiftKey 3. Get it
The only, albeit strange, reasons that keep me using the samsung keyboard over swype is the haptic feedback and the typing sounds. The haptic feel of the swype keyboard doesn't feel as precise as the sammy one no matter what i set the length to. And don't get me started on the irritating key press sound...
Jelly Bean keyboard port FTW!
Jelly Bean keyboard is the best keyboard I've ever used, Swiftkey and Swype included.

I use SwiftKey 3.01. Customizable in skins, portrait/landscape keyboard height, typing style, and keyboard layout. It also supports the use of up to three languages and their keyboards/dictionaries at once, learns from Facebook/Twitter/Gmail/RSS/Reader/SMS messages, and it is scarily accurate in predictions.

I gave up on Swype when Dragon took over the speech recognition instead of passing it to Google (which is loads better than any other dictation.) I tried SwiftKey for a long time to give the prediction time to learn about my style but I never ended up liking it as much as Swype. Then I tried the stock ICS keyboard and was very impressed. I could type super fast (faster than I could Swype) without paying close attention with great results and the post-typing word correction tools worked really well for when my typing was so bad that the keyboard couldn't figure me out. The JB keyboard continues to improve the stock ICS keyboard experience.
