Swiftkey vs Swype - LG Optimus 2x

Hi I noticed that swiftkey is quite cheap now and in asking if Swype or swiftkey is better. I need t9 fir Greek language because cyanogen's keyboard doesn't have .
The things that the video about finding out where you are supposed to press space is true?

i personal use swiftkey 3 ,
its very easy to type fast
the numbers (symbols) panel is very organized
amazing smileys panel
the Greek T9 (auto correct) is very good .
Cool themes
and essential for O2x less ram use than Swype!!!

SwiftKey keyboard is just great. For example. It predicts what you wanna write but I personally think the best feature is that you can select multiple languages and then u don't need to annoyingly switch them with a key or something. You just start writing and it automatically recognize what language you write. I use English German and it never made any mistakes. I just start typing in German like Hallo wie geht es dir? And this keyboard already knew after just two letters I was writing German and pretty much predicted the whole other words. It is just that great really.

SwiftKey is better for me.

I bought Swiftkey 3 yesterday for the reduced price an so far the prediction has been almost flawless. I would say buy it and try it. It's so cheap it's not even worth asking about tbh
Edit: I use swedish and english btw

me too ibought it because it has good reviews , and now looks good and it was wayyy cheaper

Well you can also try touchpal keyboard... Its awesome

+1. I'm on swype beta version 1.3.1 . It can support & load at least two languages at a time, can predict your next word, & coupled with "sms to text" can make your own custom dictionary in no time, support keyboard theme, quite accurate, and it's free.

only beta is free
also i can with swift also

The beta version was very slow for me. Now I'm using Touchpal V5 and works great, a little laggy sometimes but I can live with it

i think swiftkey is better

swiftkey 3 has the flow feature so you have the two in one

+Swype, only one hand needed FTW, faster too, I´m using ver 3.26 beta with custom skin ICS like, supports and easily switch between languages. Custom dictionary could be better because you have one for say english lang and one for spanish lang, I wish to have only one custom dictionary

Swype , the current beta sucks.. dictionary support fails bigtime .. and its near to useless without dictionary.
Swiftkey beta works wonderfully ..

Definently swiftkey 3...
The best one i´ve tried so far.

+1 for SwiftKey 3

Neither or.
This one is the bomb: Kii Keyboard.
Swype-like gesture entry (fine for one handers) and Swiftkey-like next word prediction and TONS of customizations (click sound, key sizes, spacing, font, color, ... ....) Best one I've tried and beats Swype hands down!
Still in beta but dev are moving fast to correct issues; pretty much perfect as it is now... All premium options are unlocked in beta....so you get what that means?: get it before it cost some $$.
So go get it and hit that thanks button if you find that it really is better than the two kb on the OP.

swiftkey is better in my opinion

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.

How do u use the skin ucreate?
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
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?

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'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

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

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

+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

What keyboard are you using and why?

I'm using Kii keyboard. Awesome auto correct the trace texting performs way better than swype. This is the after market keyboard I've used so far.
I love the 90s good times

Kii is the truth.

Google keyboard. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.inputmethod.latin I like its slide keyboard better than swype and swiftkey. It's not as obnoxious as those other two when using it like with popups or word changes. I make less recorrections.
I use a SwiftKey and it's fine for me!
I'm using Google keyboard and its auto correct and swype is pretty good for me. I'm trying the Kii keyboard but not seeing enough to keep me using it very long. But we shall see.

Swype . . . for life. It's one of the first apps installed. I wish I could do it before the registration of the phone.
I tried Kii for the first time and I love it. Auto correct and suggestion works in Google search like most don't. This keyboard was a huge relief.

Me too. Tried the stock one, Swiftkey flow, SlideIt, Thumb Keyboard, TouchPal, and a few others. Always come back to Swype.
I use the samsung keyboard. I like the number row above the qwerty keyboard. My only gripe is that it doesn't have auto correct.

Kii has an option for the number row and autocorrect and bout a zillion other options its worth trying the free version.

I never really gave the Samsung keyboard a chance, but since rujelus22 themed it for his Blu Kuban rom, I decided to check it out. Glad I did. I was using his themed google keyboard, and liked it, but I like the stock more. I am impressed, Sammy got a lot right this go round.

Which keyboard?

I've been happily using a Galaxy S3 for the last two years, just got the Note 4. Pretty happy so far with everything except the size is a little big and tricky to use one handed...anyways....
I've been using Swype for 2 years, and I like the quick access to punctuation, copy& paste, etc. I know the default Samsung keyboard has swipe but it's not quite the same.
Am I the only one using Swype? What keyboard are you using?
I'd love to get the reliable performance, prediction, and punctuation of Swype but gain themes.
SwiftKey
The default is board is OK
My normal is SwiftKey
I also use google keyboard it's good as well

Google keyboard. It's a good keyboard. I like the material design themes that are included.

I didn't like swift for some reason. Can't remember why ?
That link above, does it show previews of the available themes anywhere.?
SwiftKey for years for me.
The new Google keyboard is by far the best in terms of accuracy and speed. Plus the lollipop theme is awesome

How are you guys theming swift? does it support themes now? has it been that long since I used it? I've been using Swype which has no "themes" just a few color options. I'm just so comfortable with the way it works I tried another one called iKeyboard that use Go Keyboard themes (which are limitless) and its "OK"............just having a hard time cutting the strings from Swype I guess.
Yeah it recently started getting themes. I like the look that they are bringing now
