I do not really like the swype keyboard. What are my options?
Is the original keyboard somewhere that I have not found yet?
You can download Gingerbread Keyboard from the market, works perfectly for me.

I dont really like the swype keyboard, and the gingerbread keyboard is alright. I just started using SwiftKey X and so far i love it. It seems to be able to predict my next words fairly accurately and it is quick to use.
I used swiftkey x but it wasn't responsive enough as you can't type too fast so I switched to thumb keyboard and I like it much more as its much more responsive
SuperCharged GingerVolt B-) R U?

I haven't noticed this...you must be an insane typist.
The new SwiftKey x has multitouch now and is insanely faster with 2 thumb texting than it was before this recent update
It is definitely worth a look at

Yeah, I'm using SwiftKey X as well. I like it so much more than the lg keyboard.

Its the best keyboard I have used so far. Ive used the htc stock one, swype, droid x multitouch, and swiftkey is the best for texting. Its in the marketplace right now.
I might check this out. How does it work with Fat Fingers?
I just gave this a shot. It's definitely better than the stock keyboard for texting, the word prediction is great. However, my speed/accuracy easily surpass this with Swype, maybe it's just me (Slow with this/Fast with Swype?). But still a great find for those that don't have/want Swype.
In response to the fat fingers question, the letters are slightly narrower than the stock HTC keyboard, although the predicted words are on quite large buttons that makes them easy to select.
I just can't do swype. I need to look at the screen to find the letters and with the aria the screen is to small.

I installed and tried this out this morning. It's scarily accurate at predicting the next word (sometimes it knows what I want to say even before I do).
I'll stick to SWYPE for portrait mode texting (getting to be fairly fast and accurate now), but for landscape I'm definitely going to try out SwiftKey a bit more.

Yeah this application is pretty awesome at predicting text, and is my preferred keyboard at the moment.

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

actually there's an issue with the gingerbread keyboard.. if you type too fast.. double letters will appear.. it's a bug.. that's why i've uninstalled it..
I use MultiLing Gingerbread Keyboard, it's free, many option, theme, and more importend i like this keyboard !!!
So far, so good, i don't have any problem, regular up date.

I prefer the stock keyboard. works very well

i too used the market version by s.lin and even if i randomly type at silly speed its working just fine, its the best keyboard i ever used on the tab.
love it !
I don't really see what the fascination with the GB keyboard is.
IMO the best keyboard for our Tab is Thumb Keyboard as its designed for the tablet in mind.

Because its simple. Don't get me wrong, Thumb Keyboard is great, but its a bit too chunky for me.

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.

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.

+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.

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

I hunted around a bit for ya and I didn't have any luck finding anything. I personally use Swiftkey X and think it is by far the best keyboard out there. There's a 1-month free trial in the market.
Otherwise, there's several potential keyboards discussed here and here.
I prefer the "Gingerbread Keyboard" in the Market.. it is the AOSP keyboard for Gingerbread. I like it better than Swype or LG's stock keyboard.
oops.. actually it is just "Keyboard from Android 2.3" in the market by Steven Lin
Yeah that's what I use as well, I like it a lot.
