Perfect Keyboard (on the market - I use the Pro/Donate version) and I love it! Also grab the Storm-HD skin, some extra themeing and super sexy keyboards await and when you're bored just create a new one even allowing you to use your own images!

Thanks for the recommendations

Predictive with gingerbread

For those like me that cant live without the practicality of the predictive text and contact of Sense but still like to experiment with every new gingerbread that comes out, this is what I found. GoDialer and HintKeys. They are free on the market and work pretty well for me, much like sense predictive text. If somebody find a better alternative than those apps, please let me know. Thnx and enjoy.

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.

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....

Am I missing something?
This lagged like hell on my TB and has no editing KB or one with convenient numbers.
Is there a swipe gesture to bring up other stuff or something like in swype?

Not sure what your referring to but i know with the tb when you double tap on a word to get the other words to pop up, the copy paste and input pop up opens also..
Blocking the words Swype is suggesting..
when you Swype with this keyboard it leaves a list of words to choose from.. no double tapping needed.

Edit: pros survives reboot, you can use the stock messaging app ( spacing and auto caps work)
Cons: no editing keyboard, you'll need to use the stock editing. (Long press on a word and use the window to get to the letter you want or use the pointer and drag to the spot you need to edit)
With the day of use I have in I'm pretty impressed there aren't any bugs. and it seems to have learned my words already. And if it doesn't the list above that it builds scrolls and has had the correct word in it.
I'm now used to the stock editing, where before I would ignore it and thought it was redundant. It is easy to use and I don't see this as a fault

In the market.. flex t9

Not to sound cheap or anything but 5 dollars is a little much for a keyboard.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I've been using flex T9 for nearly a month. Push the flame icon for text to speech. I love it!

I can't see how you could call it warez if you can pull the apk from a dump. Sure, it's in the market but why spend 5 damn dollars on it if you can get it from the double shot rom. Makes no sense to me. Glad I found this thread before the apk got pulled.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Just downloaded the apk will post it when my computer boots up since it is readily available for free.
Edit: Just attached the file. Obviously if any mods believe this to be against some sort of license feel free to take it down just believe since: Rom = Free, File is inside Rom, File (Should) = Free.

HTC keyboard?

I am very comfortable with the keyboard on my old EVO the stock HTC one.
Is there a way to install that on that Nexus -S.?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
You can try taking htc_ime.apk if not download smart keyboard and use the htc skin.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
Thank you so much I tried a tom of different keyboards for my Nexus, and nothing was as comfortable as my HTC EVO keyboard. But this Smart Key OS hands down #1. Always felt the stock Gingerbread was too small and hard to type on.
Appreciate the recommendation

Totally agreed. I don't know why people like the stock Gingerbread keyboard so much, its so small i could barely type. Another keyboard I could recommend is SwiftKey X (phone).. it was free on Amazon App Store a couple days ago. It replaced my Smart Keyboard Pro, but I really loved Smart Keyboard Pro. Very accurate keyboard AND you can download other skins for it (including user made skins!). Same algorithm when it comes to typing on different skins so they all feel the same!

the BEST keyboard?

okay, i had my iphone4s for a few years, and the keyboard was GREAT. the keyboard on my new htc one is decent, but it doesnt seem as accurate and sensitive. maybe its just cause its the stock keyboard? is there a better keyboard out there, or are they pretty much all the same?
I'm using swift key

Stock android 4.2 keyboard. It has swype like features, but when you want to type instead of swyping it is very accurate
Swiftkey....hands down
Try Kii keyboard from the market just started using it and it's great of course my opinion

It comes down to personal preference. The aosp keyboard and swiftkey seem to be the most popular. I own swiftkey but I prefer using the aosp keyboard.
I use to be a huge fan of swype now all I use is SwiftKey.
Swype makes life so easy. Cut, paste, select all, capitalize etc.. can be done in a second. Can also text and drive with one hand accurately!

Definitely SwiftKey

I have always been happy with smart keyboard and SwiftKey. I have been using the stock HTC keyboard and I think it's great since they have a Smile key now.
I also own Swiftkey but actually now prefer the stock keyboard.

As someone coming from an iphone, I tried them all, sense, jb, swype, swiftkey, kii, etc.
The closest you'll get is thumb keyboard 4 after a few tweaks.
Darn right SwiftKey, especially now with the flow action
Sent from my HTCONE
I've been using thumb keyboard 4 for awhile now....I'd probably be happy w/ the stock keyboard if it had a autospace
I'm using Swype. Every time I try to use a different keyboard I go back to Swype in a few days.

SwiftKey here. The flow doesn't always work as good as I'd like, but the predictive text saves me a lot of time. Always end up back on it and worth the money imo.
SwiftKey or Stock JB Keyboard from Android. HTC keyboard is okay, but can't beat the two reference... IMO.
I'm using SwiftKey currently.

The general consensus in the Android community is that SwiftKey is the best keyboard in the land, but I'm a Swype fanatic myself. I tried SwiftKey flow and it just wasn't as good imo, but ymmv.
Swiftkey, absolutely love the blue neon theme.
