Some how since backing up my phone and removing the bloatware, I've managed to delete the Android Keyboard.
Is there anyway to redownload this keyboard? I prefer it to the Samsung Keyboard hands down. Or perhaps there is another keyboard you would recommend that I can download via the Market or elsewhere?
Thank you
I like swiftkey...comes a close second to Swype for me.

The swiftkey beta is definitely worth a look. I prefer swype, personally.

So is there no way to get the Android Keyboard back? Even after I restore the backup prior to the bloatware removal, it always seems to disappear. Could I be deleting something causing it to go away?

I have it after removing the bloat?
So then what happened to my android keyboard?! =/
Just do an Odin restore, that should get it back on there
My favorite has got to be the DroidX multitouch keyboard.

Thanks SOOOO Much !!! SwiftKey is AMAZING! I used to like the stock android keyboard because it was fast, had good prediction, and was black so more batt efficient.
Swiftkey's prediction is just about two fold better than the stock android. The only things I would change is to add a D-pad when you hit the alt button, and making the keyboard more black to save on batt. (unlikely it will get optimized for SAMOLED screens though)
SlideIt keyboard best of all

I just purchased this today and after trying every other keyboard I can say this one meets all of my needs. Accurate, multi-touch, and good customization all in one.

I second this particular keyboard. I find myself using this on a regular basis.
I use Smart Keyboard Pro and I love it. Great prediction and just has a good feel. I haven't tried the Droid X keyboard yet, I'll try it out.
Swype is great, but my vote also goes to Smart Keyboard Pro. I've tried almost all of them, and this one is a keeper.
For me, it's really hard to choose.
I like the Samsung keyboard because of multitouch and I feel like I can type faster on it, but the autotext is a pain.
The Droid X keyboard is nice especially because of multitouch but it is really stupid when it comes to predicting text..
The stock android keyboard is okay, just no multitouch.
I'd say the Droid X keyboard wold be my pick. I usually use that.
-Just my two cents.
i, too, am loving the DroidX over Swiftkey
I actually love the default Samsung keyboard in 2.2, I just wish I could switch the Period (.) to the other side of the space bar as I tend to hit it half of the time instead of the space bar with my right thumb.
Anybody know of a keyboard that is exactly the same as the default Samsung Keyboard in 2.2 but with those buttons switched?
EDIT (May 14): New beta released (beta 4). This will be the final beta. The market version will be released begin next week
The new beta contains a new customizable toolbar and a new keyboard for one handed operation.
----------
Hi,
Because the expiration date of the current beta will expire tomorrow and because I've postponed the final release with one or two weeks, I decided to publish a new beta.
New in this beta:
* Possibility to resize the width of the right and left keyblocks. Very convenient. You can now adjust the keyboard fully to the range of your thumbs.
* New themes.
* New regular qwerty keyboard, so one can also enjoy all the features on a standard keyboard layout.
* small bug fixes
The beta can be downloaded from thumb4beta.blogspot.com
awesome, downloading now
Downloading. Its a great second keyboard for those longer emails

thanks alot... this has been great so far
I posted something on the Androidcentral on what I think would make it a better keyboard, I still stand by that but I take back what I said, this keyboard is pretty awesome. I just needed to get adapted to the style is all. Thank you so much I will buy when it comes out of beta.
Sent from my Xoom
Nice... I love how I can press the button to adjust the stylebof keyboard. Awesome. I love it. Perfect.

thanks for the new beta! gonna give it more tries, but I gotta say, SwiftKey predicts insanely well. I'll compare both again
This keyboard makes its ten times easier to type. Awesome work

Bought this keyboard one day after owning my Xoom cause the stock one just doesn't cut it and swype is unavailable. After using this for only 5 minutes and setting things up how i wanted, i won't even bother with swype if it comes out for the xoom. This keyboard ROCKS. All the little changes and mods you can make are just superb. I wish all keybaords were this adaptable and modifyable. Seriously.
You did an awesome job on this. Will totally install the beta when i get home from work. Love the current build in the market, can't wait to take this for a spin.
Simply - thank you. I will be buying the released version as soon as it is in the market.
Love this release. addresses all my issues from Beta2
now if I could combine this with swift key, I would be set! Honestly however is there an option to put the space bar on both sides?
I just wanted to say that since the first beta I have used and enjoyed using the keyboard. Its very awesome and works great. The only thing that bothers me is having the special keys and numbers in the middle but I am getting used to it. I have my xoom locked in landscape so sometimes typing 1 handed sucks
Keep up the awesome work

would it be possible to include a checkbox to remove the numberpad from the middle of the keyboard in landscape. With the market app i can type one handed in landscape mode since there is no keypad in the middle, i can just walk my fingers to the keys with ease, with no effort, not really even needing to look. However with the keypad in the middle, all the other keys are smaller, so it is much harder and i actually have to focus now. LOL Other then that i am loving this.

If you shrink the left and right keyblocks in the settings (see keyboard dimensions), the keys in the middle move to the left and right a bit.

The market keyboard has also a numpad in the middle.

Well that's a good idea. Will look into it. Nevertheless maybe not, maybe I will count that one as a nice feaure of that keyboard.
i'm really liking this keyboard... just needs to get better used to its layout.
the one problem i'm having are the direction keys at the bottom when in portrait mode; they usually don't register correctly, registering a space key instead.
also, i don't agree with the G key existing in the right side in portrait mode and not in landscape mode. IMHO, this should be consistent in both modes.
as a sugestion, i would like an hybrid language mode like used in swiftkey's, where you don't have to switch languages when using more than one, auto-complete used both.
thanks, keep the good work!
Hey mate wicked keyboard, when it says expires dose that mean it will stop working on that date?
Cheers
What keyboard do you guys find the most responsive on the Note?
I swore by Smart Keyboard Pro on my Dell Streak as it could keep up with my typing and seemed like the most responsive on the Streak at the time, but I find it nowhere near as responsive on the Note.
I recently started using Go Keyboard on the Note and have so far found it much more responsive. I set it up with the midnight theme, 4 landscape keyboard height and no pop up characters when typing and I find it has been the only keyboard that has been able to keep up with me if I try to type at crazy speeds. Great things about it are that it is totally free and very customizable!
Let me know your thoughts.
Swiftkey was the one I went for after testing all of them. The fastest for me.

I already tried Swiftkey and didn't get on with it as well as Go Keyboard. I remember trying Go Keyboard on the Streak and not liking it as much as Smart Keyboard Pro back then, so it is either a device difference or maybe the Go Development Team have made some improvements since.
swiftkey x, give you the best word to choose when writing and the fast one to.
Ps: you can even reduce the space it show by the keyboard on the screen.
Try the ICS keyboard from the market its pretty good. Plus is free

Agreed.
On a side note, any one knows a way to pop up Samsung keyboard (handwriting mode) on a-pen detection, even if it using a party keyboard? ?
I'm using Swype ,but I'd love to be able to use pen writing once I click on the screen with the pen (which is possible only using the stock Samsung keyboard)

Great tip! I just tried the one by VLLWP and it seems to respond very well to crazy fast typing. I think I will stick with it for now until something better comes along.
my keyboard
This is thumbs keyboard with my settings on it...... I think this thing is really fast
I like Thumb Keyboard. Swiftkey not so much; it's a little too smart for me.
Right now i'm using Swiftkey because of the arrow buttons. Im sort of happy with it.
i just downloaded the ICS keyboard.
I must say it is very good!
I was using smart keyboard. although it is fast, but i found it laggy, like if i type really fast it won't detect some of the letters.
but with ICS it detect all the letters i press!

Even I have the same question. I am using the "AI keyboard" free version and I am pretty much loving it. I liked Go Keyboard as well.
But whichever app I use, I miss the handwriting mode for S-Pen. So I keep switching back to Samsung keyboard now and then.
I like Go keyboard best.
I like Perfect Keyboard. It's the quickest and smoothest for me, all other keyboards lag unfortunately...
used better keyboard for a while, it was good but it lacks arrow keys.
then i started to use smart keyboard and once customized, best keyboard yet, well worth the buy
I'm also with Thumb keyboard, very good one!
I used to use Smart Keyboard Pro on my SGS2 and Dell Streak, worked fine. It has a lot of lag on the SGN.
I now use Ultra Keyboard. The best and most configurable Love it.
Bought SwiftKey X, absolutely fantastic auto correction and unlike all the other android keyboards that I tried, doesn't lag when you hit a key.
Hey guys,
I'm new over here because I just upgraded from my Xperia S to an Xperia T (dont ask haha) so hi .
basically the first thing I thought when using the phone was what a waste the buttons were as they took up quite a good part of the screen, and so despite being 0.3" bigger than the Xperia S this was not noticeable. I also hated the aspect ratio of the screen love a good 16:9
anyway after searching on here and around for ages I finally came across a simple solution that works very well
its this app here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.hidesoftkeys
I bought the pro version and its def worth it, because this is such an amazing set up!
sorry if this is already well known on here, but thought I'd share anyway, oh and if you find you can't activate the buttons in the camera mode its because you have to swipe from the side (it thinks its landscape, same with full screen games)
Very nice, I love this
I like it too

Thanks, just had a play with it. but prefer the one I posted in this thread because you can customise much more like make the icons xperia and not google nexus style, also it hides the current on screen buttons without needing to do anything yourself so more simple for people.
also guys what I realised is its best to select 'spoof soft keys' otherwise apps will open without the more options button so you'll have no way to get into further settings etc.
The gang over at Android Central (thanks to user Executor32) shared what I thought to be an often sought after keyboard tweak. Very simple to do as well!

don't like the symbols to the right of the keyboard. those kind of ruined the keyboard.

It is kind of weird I agree, but an option for some. Although it's just like a desktop PC keyboard, you would have to really get used to using the shift key like you do on a physical keyboard

Kinda weird but I like it lol.
I have been spoiled by the Samsung Note keyboards that have been ported to the S3. When I get my AT&T Nexus 6 a year from now when AT&T gets their crap together, I hope someone will have ported a Samsung Note style keyboard to the Nexus 6. It's a VERY user friendly design.
