Just started using it not bad at all. I just wish it was a cross between this and thumb keyboard. This one feels just a little small in split keyboard mode

The process took less then 2 minutes from registering to downloading - have it now and about to install.
Looks ok.
I think Thumb Keyboard has a lot more functionality (directional keys, readily accessible punctuations, @ symbol, parentheses, .com key with extras [.net, .org, .etc) when longpressed and all other 'tabbed' symbols just require a longpress, too.
Just MHO.
Here are some screen shots just not a big fan of the full screen text input. Would also like split me keyboard in portrait.

Yeah, they definitely need to make the keys a little bigger.

Hated it, went back to stock. Takes way too much realestate in portrait, my main viewing format.

haha me too... why would you need this keyboard if you are using it in portrait? wouldn't stock work well enough? just wondering.... but the whole full screen force thing is bad, thumb keyboard does it too by default, but you can override it.
Hey I am waiting to have my account admin approved on swiftkeys site, in the mean time could someone post the APK for the keyboard!?!
Pretty plz!

patience grasshopper. they are really fast about it, shouldn't be more than a few minutes. respect developers' wishes. if they wanted it out here they would have posted it here.
Trying it out now, so far I love the look of the app and it has been working great.

It needs some work still, I was on a closed beta (which I think I can admit), and of course, now use the open beta available on the forum.
But despite the issues with sizing and the alternate keys for symbols and stuff, the predictive text is still like the number one need when typing on a tablet, and it is so much more useful than stock. I don't use split mode atm, because of the key sizes, but I'm hoping I'll like that once they get it worked out.

The common theme seems to be the small buttons are an issue. Hopefully they will make th necessary adjustments.
I'm sure they will, it was among the first comments in the closed beta. I'm using standard layout for now.
Also, nobody can deny... SwiftKey's style on the Xoom is freaking awesome.

I am a keyboard geek (among other flavors of geek).
I gotta say, A.I. Type keyboard (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.aitype.android) is simply amazing.
It seems smarter than swiftkey and is completely customizable. (Background images, colors, layout, even keyboard type (iphone, windows 7, gingerbread among others).

My keyboard of choice right now,,,
Is TouchPal Curve. Was lucky enough to get my hands on the beta and have been loving it every since.
Gonna give the one you mentioned a try, never know if its better for me till I check it out.
Twas not lucky enough roger the curve invite. But widget t9 AND swype for free from amazon. (Free is my favorite color :-D)

I like this new keyboard! I'm not a fan of the swyping technology even though I have touchpal curve.
This keyboard's service runs 22 MB though! Don't know if that's normal but that seems like it may drain battery.

After reading various reviews about this keyboard, i've decided to stay away from it. Some users have reported huge battery drains. Aside from this, it appears that every keystroke is uploaded to the developer's cloud server, with no explanation given. Sounds like a keylogger to me.

I also was able to get a beta copy of this TouchPal keyboard, but for some reason it conflicted with my hardware keyboard by disabling my shift and "secodary yellow" button :\ and since I'm a big keyboard user, that was my only reason to uninstall that keyboard. I'll admit, it seems better than swype, but again, I use my hardware keyboard 75% of the time n I kinda can't live without my shift and yellow keys

I'm new at this but I was reading online on how to mod the original. I wanna take a crack at it. I'm familiar with animating and rendering in Maya. I'm also familiar with Photoshop. I know we don't have any custom Roms yet but I'd like to do my part and help out. So if any one has ideas please post em up.

How about a play on the 3D feature of the phone? Something along the lines of the Android becoming 3D from 2d in the animation? (popping out of a phone, or something)
I like that idea. I could make a vector 2d android then have him get pushed out of the way by a 3d one.

Yea, that would be pretty cool.
"3D is better"
that sounds like a great idea.
Now the question is figuring out how to get the picture to do that on bootup. Either way Love that idea.

Just Finishing up modeling. Then i have to Rig the little driod.(Give him Bones) Then on to Animating. I was thinking of having him pound on some glass and break thru it and have the shards pass by the camera. But Once its rigged we can play with more ideas.
Looks awesome so far, keep up the good work.

Would it be possible to actually kick up the 3D screen while booting up? A 2D android replaced by a 3D android, in 3D.

That would be awsome but im not sure if its possible. But if a crazy smart developer figures out how to enable that feature in boot i could make the animation a .jps rather than a .tff

An elderly relative of mine shall be getting herself a Nexus 7 tomorrow, which she plans to use mainly for e-Reading plus a bit of media usage in the form of BBC iPlayer. I was looking for an easy-to-use interface for her. Any launcher recommendations or simple customisations to make it just a little bit easier? I am sure she could use it as is, but making it easier so I don't have to teach her so much will be good.
How elderly? Talk back might be nifty. I tried it once, it was annoying as hell though

Instructions are poor. You get a quick startup guide on paper and then have to open the book section to read the user manual. I find it harder to learn about a system when I an constantly flipping from the manual to a page to try out what I was reading.

I was more just on about launchers which would allow her to have a nice, clean UI that isn't too cluttered.
Anyone know of such a launcher?

Thanks. I can install Apex on my Galaxy Note, so I'll fiddle around and see what I can do on it.
Just empty the desktop from every single icon . Than..
1.on home screen Add icons that this person will use the most e.g BBC iPlayer (not sure bits going to work without flash), chrome, play store and a nice looking clock widget or something
2. Set each other screen with categories e.g one for books where you place the appropriate widgets and icons . One for videos and one for whatever else like notes calendar and other productivity ....
3. Do that person a favour and download some games .. yes games . You'd be surprised how often older people like to play ... ideal games would be mahjong, card games , also things like Bejeweled ,Zuma, scrabble type games
Stock android launcher is good enough trust me you just have to know how to organise it. Also wait for chameleon that might change things

This is probably a dumb question (not a lot of rooting/dev experience here) but how do I get that RTL feature to work. I have a Nexus 6 running Android 5.0, new as can be, and looking to help my normal-sized hands by putting the back button on the right.
By the way, just to give some helpful advice for one-handed use of a phone this size: Nova Launcher, Swiftkey (right-sided mode), and I just ordered the Minisuit Tactic Handstrap Wallet (on Amazon, $8) and it looks like it'll be super thin/flush with phone (or case) and allow me to put my finger(s) through for tethering. Yes, I know that these phones are large and meant to be used that way, but Android is awesome for customization and you can do just as much with the exterior of the phone as well
I just want the option to move the buttons closer together, that would be great
If you change your dpi to 380 it forces the N6 into tablet mode and the buttons are closer together
