Here is a quick tutorial:
I get an error trying to install this over the stock google keyboard.
Try this.
This is the one which was available in Google Play Store, but was removed...
You don't need to uninstall stock keyboard, just install it as another app...
The guy who posted it on the google play store who got it removed because it was the actual stock android L keyboard and thats not allowed, posted it on amazon's app store. This one can be alongside the google keyboard with no problem.

I've been facing some problems using that keyboard since 3 days ago (before that it worked flawlessly.) Every time I press on a text field the Google Voice Input screen appears. I had to uninstall it so I could use the normal keyboard.

That maybe an issue with your rom... then again I don't really know. I have never had issues so I can't really tell you.

I'm using Stock 4.4.2

I'm using Swifkey 4 (BTW, if you aren't using this, you're missing out) and randomly the keyboard started to revert back to the default after I reboot. Very annoying.
Any suggestions?

It's an issue with SwiftKey. It's not sticking with reboots. Hopefully they fix it in the next release.

In the meanwhile (I don't think it's Swiftkey's problem) All you need to do is freeze the stock keyboard and it'll stay on whichever keyboard you assign. You are not the only one having the default keyboard always muscle in after a reboot!
Good Luck!
Aloha.....
Yeah I'm having the same issue, was working fine on SwiftKey Flow Beta. I just uninstalled the android and swyoe keyboard that came with wicked.

If it's not a SwiftKey problem, my phone just coincidentally started doing this the second I installed SwiftKey 4.. And coincidentally stops doing it whenever I set a different keyboard as default.

How do you "freeze the stock" Keyboard?

Either uae titanium backup and look for the keyboard, click on it and you have an option to freeze. Or go to settings>application manager> swipe all the way to the right and look for the keyboard, click on it and it gives you the option of disabling it.
Also I did a fresh install of my rom and now it's sticking after reboots

It is a Google problem that primarily affects people using Android 4.1.1. The play store encrypts paid apps to mnt/asec. The problem is that when android 4.1.1 boots up, it establishes services like keyboards before asec is mounted. This means that SwiftKey isn't seen until after the default keyboard is established. It is supposed to be fixed in 4.1.2.
I cannot speak for the previously mentioned workaround (either for our against) , but I have one that has worked for me. Backup your SwiftKey installation with TiBu, uninstall it, reboot, then restore SwiftKey with TiBu. I hope one of these solutions work for you.

I've the same problem with android 4.1.2 MA2 and galaxy s3.
Probably it depends on Swiftkey and not Android itself....

FYI: I had he same issue with SlideIt keyboard on 4.1.1. Froze it with TiBu as suggested and it is gone now. Thanks for the suggestion!

I just noticed this was the T-Mobile galaxy s3 forum, but I found this through Google, but on my stock at&t I747 when I reboot not only is Swype no longer default, but most of my defaults are reset, so I asked someone @ the at&t store, and they nonchalantly replied, "yeah that's normal". So, reading this response that it's a 4.1.1 issue on xda puts my mind at ease.
I can now just chock it up to another one of those wonderful phenomena (bugs) on this device.
Please excuse any typos, as I wrote this using my gs3 using chrome
If you are rooted, the problem is quite trivial to resolve.
Thank God the guy you spoke to was intelligent enough to give you the right answer. Hes right. Swiftkey Team said any OS under 4.1.2 was affected by that bug.

I use ADW paid launcher and when I reboot, I have to choose the default launcher each time. I have Swype and I have the same problem. I've reset the device to full factory a few times and the problem still comes back. I thought that it was only me.
Glad to know I'm not alone.
I reinstalled the rom and didn't choose samsung keyboard but the other one listed, nothing else selected and reboot the phone. Installed SwiftKey and don't have problems anymore with swift not sticking after reboot.

Hi all...
Hope Im in the right section...
I have Swiftkey (paid) installed as I prefer it to the default keyboard...about every 2 days out of nowhere the keyboard resets back to the default android keyboard..I'm not rooted, modded etc. (not exactly bored with the UI yet, be modding soon )
I'm completely stock out of the box.
Happened to anyone else? thanks

there's been some folks dealing with this same issue. i've attached the most recent thread. i posted a fix that works for me
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2064541
correct. since the play store installs apps in a location (on your JB device) that is not immediately scanned during the first part of boot up, thats why the stock keyboard is loaded. however, to fix this on my wife's unrooted/stock S3, i found the actual swiftkey apk then downloaded and installed it onto the phone. this placed the apps info in the correct storage location that is seen on boot up. i do not condone downloading apps you have not paid for however i did this for her as she and i have both paid for swiftkey on all our phones/tablets when it initially released on the play store. i dont have this swiftkey issue on my s3 as it is running a custom rom. cheers

Hey All,
Jelly Beer's 4.2.2 update worked great on my Samsung S3. However, I went out and purchased a new Note 2 GT-N7100 T-Mobile T889. I love the phone. The only problem is that I got used to the keyboard that the guys included in with Jelly Beer 4.2.2 update. In the Input settings, the keyboard is listed as Android keyboard (AOSP). That's the keyboard that I want.
The one that came with the Note 2 is Samsung's own and it's awful. Yes, yes, yes, I've installed just about every other keyboard out there. I've purchased the paid versions and all. Still, nothing does the job as well as the keyboard AOSP. I was literally going to toss the phone because I can't type on it. Then I started to use the gesture part of it, and I'm getting used to that. However, I still want the AOSP one. I've looked all over in the Play store and nothing.
Does anyone have the direct link or the actual .apk that I can download?
Would really appreciate it.

I am wanting the same thing.
yes, there is a google keyboard in the app store. but its not the same as AOSP, AOSP has the symbols as long hold on the letter keys. and you can long press the "." and slide to choose ?! and others.
I tried pulling out the aosp keyboard from carbon rom, if I just install it, it works, but no sliding to type (like swype) and if I move it to system/app and set permissions, then reset, it just force closes... so... it kind of works... but I would really like to be able to slide type.
ok so this is awkward.... seems google has released the new Google Search and Google Experience Launcher for all handsets running 4.1 and higher..... with Google ripping the forefront of KitKat out why move to it?
Lets get a list going as to what KitKat brings to the table behind the scenes....
1)better memory managment
2)Smoother UI experience(butter+)
3)built in printer support API!!! I love printing from my phone now!
For those that want to try the new Search and Google Experience Launcher here are the links.
Download Google Search 3.1.8 APK
Download Google Experience Launcher APK
yes this turns on "Ok Google" from the launcher and also allows Google Search to talk/ask questions back to you.
I still think we need KitKat as I have been running it and it is very smooth and seems to be snappier than the stock rom.
FYI the launcher will NOT work on our stock roms!!!
It is working on other phones with 4.1 but not our phone and stock rom(with stock kernel). You can use some modded 4.1 stock roms that replace the kernel. As I believe it is a kernel based issue there will likely never be a fix as no-one is going to put in the time or effort.
Well, the Launcher still needs to be side loaded even after the Search App updates, so it is a little different there. I like having hangouts handle sms. I also like the little things like the touch sounds and such. All of these things can be emulated, but it still takes work and a little knowledge to get a kit kat experience on a different stock rom.

This is true but the launcher will be on the play store and it has been reported that a card in now will popup asking if you want it.
For a stock rom you get the stability over most other roms but I must say KK on ours has been a really big surprise.
I sideloaded the new now on KK and the feedback is pretty sweet, no more hunting to find the right number to txt or call it will ask you and you simply talk back.
For me it's all about consistency in the experience. It drives me crazy to see a stock dialer or stock messaging app when I am trying to create an AOSP experience. That's why I generally go for AOSP based ROMS. It's just jarring to have the settings menu come up with a white background. OCD

Were you (or anybody) able to get this to work properly on ZVC? Tried the above, plus looking to get a potential lib, keep getting "Google Search" FC.

opppsss forgot to add that blurb. The launcher doesn't work on the LG OG stock roms. other 4.1 roms do work so it has something to do with the stock rom.
I'll add that in. The new Google search(Google Now) should be fine.
OP updated!!!!
Launcher didn't work for me on optimus 4.6 the OK Google feature worked but when I tried to add the search widget, OK Google went away. I don't know how to get it back yet either
Edit: turns out it went away cause I switched the language. OK Google command now works again

Just seen that there is an update for the english language pack that needs to be installed.
slid left to Google Now
scroll to the bottom
hit the three dots
select settings
select voice
select offline speech recognition
for those in the US ensure that English shows up and it is vers 28. For all others ensure you have downloaded your language.
BTW KitKat ROM users... this is NOT for you as it is all setup!

1) it only works for English US at the moment
2) its on a slow roll out, having the correct up-to-date apps is not good enough, Google have to have selected you to have the feature.
If I didn't get it wrong, LGs own search function is killing that feature in G3, so "Ok Google" works just in case Google search is active in foreground.

"of the launcher" is not what the OP was asking. The new Google update allows for "OK GOOGLE" to be used from any app, anywhere on the device.
