I am not sure but I believe your refering to swype.
Swype well... it's in beta now. You can find .apk's for beta versions for different screen sizes resolutions, some of which seem to work better than others. XDA doesn't allow anyone to post links to swype .apks until swype leaves beta. The swype developers got pissed off that so many versions were posted here in the dream sapphire forums. I'm sure if you google you can find one that works on this resolution though

The droid x comes preloaded with swype, just go to menu>laungauge/keyboard, and check the box for swype. No need to look for the keyboard. If u have a droid x u have swype.

*sigh* Guys I know what swype is. The Captivate that I played with the other day had its own implementation of the multitouch keyboard, that is what I'm talking about.

yeah i know which one you are talking about. it looks exactly like the iphone keyboard, and i do mean exactly. jon4lakers did a comparison on youtube of the 2 phones and you can see them side by side at 19:47. i know they have a skin for the galaxy s look so i'm sure someone is working on the keyboard.

Why would you want the iPhone keyboard dont you want predictive text like TouchPal or Swiftkey has? Type less type faster my firend.

I forgot about swiftkey. Was using that on my incredible

[OLD]Dont dig this up any more. DELETED

Links are down and I had an os crash so the theme doesn't exist anymore. Sorry, I'm working on something right now though.
I highly recommend nitros honeycomb.

Nice work. It looks pretty awesome. I for one love the honeycomb battery and would like that as an option. That's easy to add in on your own though too.

This is nice. Im gonna try it. Question: What is the name of the program for the nice widgets with the pic in the first screen shot? Ive seen it before, but dont remember the name.

I would also suggest using the clean quick panel from bendbowden

I used hc image cut to make those widgets. Maybe I will exclude gmail from the next update or figure out why its fc for some people.

Nice, I'd color match that battery icon so it doesnt clash with the rest.

To be honest I thought the honey comb battery clashed worse. I'll look into changing it though, oh and I'll be including a honeycomb battery option very soon possibly within the hour.

Very Nice!!! downloading now.

very nice theme...just noticed the shutdown animation...really cool....thanks

couple of notes:
1. the honey lock REPLACES the puzzle lock.
2. is there any way of adding the vibrate option to the honey lock screen? (ok thats more of a question)
3. best lock screen ever.

Yes it replaces the puzzle lock, it has the same functionality as the puzzle, it opens to messages, missed calls, and voice mails I believe. Sorry I can't add a vibrate option. That would be very extensive and I'm not sure I could even do it. Sorry bout that.

Droid X Multi Touch Keyboard

Hi all. I came from the Droid X and I really miss the Motorola Multi-Touch keyboard. How can I get this keyboard on my thunderbolt?

I tried installing it using the link that Droid-life posted a while back, but it force closed like crazy.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App

Only way I've found so far is to download Smart Keyboard PRO. I've tried to use the methods from the evo forum, read the entire thread, even tried to splice it in myself and use user made .apk and .zip files.

wow, it seems like its pretty difficult... i'm currently using the htc_ime mod that came with virusrom. it seems pretty good, i just don't like where the button to switch to number input is. other than that, its pretty good. thanks for your help guys.

i wish someone would figure it out, i had a moto, and put the multi-touch keyboard on my incredible as soon as i got it. I really like that keyboard better than any ive had, i'll use the gingerbread til someone figures it out though...

still waiting....

Just get smartkeyboard there is a Droid x skin looks the same.

Best keyboard....

So this is my first phone that doesn't have a physical keyboard and I'm having some trouble. I came from both Droid one and two and the LG touch so I have always had a physical keyboard and now without one I'm somewhat lost. So please anyone with a keyboard app recommendation please speak up!
P.s. I have big hands and tend to hit the wrong key because of that.

Swift key. It learns as you type. Once using if for a while it predicts almost everything you are going to type
Sent from my ThunderBolt using XDA App

I use flext9 because you can swipe the keyboard or use the keys normally, way smoother than swype IMO.

Definitely swift key! It's so good at predicting your words that some times it feels like it's reading your mind.

I've been using the gingerbread keyboard found in market. I find it fast and accurate.

+1 for swift key.

Well I already had swift key from it being the free app of the day so I loaded it up and started using it again and so far so good everything is at least better than the stock htc keyboard so I'm at least happy about that.

i really like and use smart keyboard pro, love the skins you can put on it and it just does what it needs to do for me

better keyboard ftw

+1 been using this one as well and I love it. its called "keyboard from android 2.3 +" in the market. when installed it shows up as "gingerbread keyboard"

+1 for flex t9 if you like swyping or swift key for just regular keyboard use. Although t9 can do both, just doesn't predict.

+2.. I use the paid version, so I can bring up the directional arrows as needed. At $0.99 it isn't bad.

+3 lol paid too, deff worth it.

Keyboard from Gingerbread 2.3
There's a free and paid version. Best keyboard available.

+4 for gingerbread keyboard
i love how fast it is

I've also been using the gingerbread keyboard from the market for a while now (even back on my Droid X) and I love it.

I have used swype, swift and the GB keyboard.
For texting, landscape or portrait they are great.
The problem is for emails. Once you lay the phone over to landscape and start to type an email, the kbd takes up the whole screen. Is there a way to shrink the keyboard say 20% or so?

I got Gingerbread, the paid one
I had the G2, and Swype sucks on a bigger screen in comparison, not to mention Thunderbolt doesn't even come with it. I downloaded it and said wtf is this. Idk if its the screen or just not being pre-installed

I use the HTC_IME keyboard

Swype for Tab 2

I saw it somewhere.... used it.. wiped and lost it. I cannot find it. Anyone have a linking for it or a working APK? Thanks.

Here ya be.....
[COLOR="Red"]MOD Removed link[/COLOR]
Xda has been told not to link swype.apk and to use their www.beta.swype.com/ since its free to sign up and get updates.

Appreciate it.. reflashed it and totally forgot to save the working one I had.

Just in case someone needs it. Heres my original post with the working swype apk.

Try setting swiftkey portrait and landscape key height to large. I use the one for phones, and and it works fine. Almost as good as the keyboard on my playbook . The settings are under advanced.

Yeah am in the same boat, what are we doing wrong? Do I need to root the tab first?

It didn't work for me either, says screen res is not supported.

Looks like its a waiting game...

I hope they will release an update soon.

Personally, I would like to use swipe in portrait, and swift key in landscape. I really wish someone could port the blackberry playbook keyboard though, that one is great .

I've been using Thumb Keyboard for a while now and it works fantastically, you can setup different keyboard layouts for portrait or landscape with lots of themes and custom settings (like height and width of the keyboards as well, not to mention custom letter combos) Its great!
