Any other keyboards..?

The keyboard is awkward after switching from a iPhone, I found a iPhone keyboard skin but since the screen is small it won't put the keyboard on there. The numbers is in a odd spot to get to. Is there any other keyboards for the Aria?

i see two on page one of this forum and another on page 3.....

Swype is okay but takes some getting used to IMHO. I've been using Swiftkey beta and liking it.

The HTC IME mod keyboard is pretty good as well and you can make your own skins for it.

I'm digging Swiftkey. Tried Swype and like SK better. I tried typing as fast as I could in landscape mode and it got all the words right. In portrait it was so-so... but that is expected (and heck, I wanted a smaller phone, so I asked for less keyboard real estate).

I just saw this while searching for something new because swype stopped working as of today. First time I ever heard of SwiftKey and I really like it! Pleasantly surprised.

You have to drop it onto your SD card and then use a file manager to navigate to your SD card and install it.
Once installed you go into settings then languages and keyboards and select the keyboard you just installed.
Once selected long tap in an input field and choose input method, choose your new keyboard and you are done.

Downloaded the swiftkey beta, used if for a day, liked it so much I took them up on their offer of a reduced price to buy the non-beta version on initial release(today). Good stuff and it was only US $.94.

One More Vote for Swiftkey
+1 for Swiftkey. In my mind it combines the best of a traditional touch keyboard and Swype.

Cool, thanks for this info too, I am going to try SwiftKey later on.
Am I crazy, I liked the keyboard on 2.1 over 2.2 or are they the same, just a different color?

Swype is considered WAREZ. Try and sign up for their beta. Sorry, mate. :/

Tried the attached HTC keyboard above and it just kept FC'ing. I love that keyboard but it doesn't work in my Gingerbread rom. Too bad you need Sense to use it...unless someone knows how to change that

Multitouch doesn't work properly anyway. Try pressing one letter, keep it pressed while pressing the next letter and then release the first one and after that the second one. you will see that you wrote just one letter in most cases.
we need a new driver/kernel whatever for our touchscreens. and concerning multitouch in general ( hoping desperately that someone with skills reads it), when you are on the same "line" with your thumbs, i.e. shooter games, it occasionally flips your coordinates (x,y).

Thanks - I guess it'll have to do since I was looking for the HTC keyboard with the arrows and extras.

this keyboard works perfectly in gingerbread pure rom

A good keyboard?

I've been looking for a keyboard better than aosp and swipe (i hate swype so much.....). On both of those i make typo's constantly and the autocorrect sucks hard... Please let me know what keyboard you use and what you think about it.

I use swype because it's the poo, but I hear swiftkey is good...

love swiftkey!!

I second SwiftKey! Try the trial

I use SwiftKey as well, it's pretty good. I like it more than Swype I think.

I have used the android, swype, samsung, gingerbread, droidx, bestkb, swiftkey and smart kb.
Swype is the best for one handed typing. DroidX is decent, but lacks many options. Swiftkey has the best predictive text for the lazy typer. IMO, smartkb is the best for 2 handed typing, plus its options/settings are usable and not in excess.
All the others are a waste of time.

Skywalker offers a really nice wp7 keyboard. Doubled my typing speed. Its in rom manager in his modify existing rom folder

I personally like the HTC keyboard found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624416

I keep wanting to like swiftkey, but don't see the appeal. Smart Keyboard Pro wins my vote.

I'll second this. SKP is probably the best I've used. The WP7 one is really damn good too - but didn't have haptic feedback last I tried it.

IME, swype is very good and I have used it more than anything else. If you rely on prediction I'd say Swiftkey. If you manually hit every key in landscape, smart key pro. In portrait its hard to beat swype though. Its nice to have several to choose from I think I have 5 installed now myself but I mainly rotate between the 3 aforementioned

Thanks for all the suggestions! i cant believe i didnt know about all of these. So far im loving the wm7 keyboard... it really does increase my typing speed by a ton, but the no haptic feedback is annoying.

Best keyboard

folks
the stock keyboard seems to be good for me. It has gesture typing (which is like swype I'm used to) and also has voice typing. I'm copying over my swype dictionary from S4 onto this keyboard. However, in swype, you could click a certain word and add to dictionary right there and don't think the AOSP keybaord has that feature
Are there other keyboards that have the above two functions but are even better that are worth trying?
Thx

As always in android, there is no such thing as "best." I personally prefer SwiftKey.
