Wow Amazon is awesome right now.

Ugh. Why is this only a US thing! Sounds awesome for you guys though
Thanks a lot. It works for Canadians too.
Yeah it's great. I'll be checking amazon application store every day to see what app they offer for free.
So far I'm really liking swift key. I like the text prediction and the ability to soften haptic feedback. That may be a feature of the stock keyboard but I never looked.

That's what I do
A pretty gutsy claim, yes.
But I've been typing with this kbd for 2 days now, and I gotta say that with the general impreciseness of our screens, this keyboard allows me to type 50% faster than any other kbd on the market.
It has predictive text, but also searches for words that go with the prior word typed.
It also has the ability to learn from your typing style by analyzing your sms, text, gmail and facebook messages.
I highly recommend this keyboard for ALL zio owners.

Very nice but at 17mb it eats up alot of ram. I'll give it a try for a while longer and see how well it really works.

Its a beta release, so there are going to be bugs Im sure. Works 100% for me, and Im tellin ya, its far superior to all kbds I've tried. Even ultra kbd 0.o
Yeah, it does take up a little more RAM, but for the functionality, and the responseness of the program, I dont mind. Also being as it is a beta release, there might be some more code trimming to be done that will reduce the amount of ram.
But, If you think about it, its one of the most important apps for your phone; your keyboard. With that said, I wouldnt mind if it took up 20-25Mb, as long as it performs just as it does now. With my ROM installed, Im still at 55Mb-60Mb free RAM with it installed (and thats NOT stock -- on an established system).
I got the Language pack Error as well. Go into Settings/Language Profile/Language and download the English or whatever language you use.
I have purchased swift key and have been using it for over a year now. I rarely need to use more than two or three key strokes per word. The way it predicts the next word is simply amazing. Hands down the best keyboard replacement out there. Those of you who are using the beta version and having trouble with it should try the 30 day trial of swift key without the X available on the market.

Download the English language pack by opening SwiftKey X from your app drawer.

Funny thing is I bought the program a year ago but hardly used it, way quicker than smart keyboard.

Nice to see you guys comin' around to SwiftKey. i've been using it for quite a while and got in on the VIP/beta program for 2/X. It's gotten better and better over the last several months.
Option to apply skins is planned, too, FYI.
After using this keyboard for about two weeks, all I can say is SIMPLY AMAZING. The way it predicts words is phenomenal I rarely even have to type anything as it pieces together sentences for me almost flawlessly. I highly recommend this to anyone frustrated by the lame stock keyboards from android, or I would put it against any of the slide,swype style keyboards any day.
SwiftKey was super slow on my Zio. I'm not sure why everybody has such luck with it. Smart Keyboard Pro is way faster and uses up less memory. The text prediction really does suck though
Check out ThickButtons. Free. Best for zio IMO
Yeah I'm gonna go ahead and say swiftkey speech to text for the win I'm using it right now

Hands down the most amazing speech to text for android I've ever seen it's phenomenal

Is it possible to put the galaxy note 2 keyboard on the One? Does it need to be rooted?
I really like the 5 row setup. I tried hackers keyboard as an alternative but didn't like it. Too many extra keys.
The note 2 keyboard was amazing.

Have you tried using Kii Keyboard? It has an option for the number row and when it shows up too (portrait only, landscape only, both). Only thing though is that it's a paid feature, although they let you try it out for an hour.
I'll give it a try. I've not used that before.

The Kii keyboard seemed to do the trick... But I'd still love to get the note 2 keyboard for free instead of spending the money. Is that part of the Samsung os?
Can it work on sense?

I don't think it would be as simple as installing an app if that's what you are thinking. Keep in mind the Note 2 keyboard has the handwriting input option and other Note 2 specific features. I, too, would love to have the keyboard. I think someone more experienced with this stuff than you and I could figure it out but if I were you, I'd just look for the best alternative.
The app is horrible especially with the stock keyboard. There is really no reason for this much screen to be taken up by the keyboard and text box. here is a screenshot of the stock app with Swype keyboard. you can see one message at most. http://i.imgur.com/ZhrM8rx.png
I've began just using the hangouts for mms with people. I'm not sure if this will work for everyone.
When I tried a couple other messaging apps that looked like stock 4.4 I started sending and receiving double messages. I really want to use another app because the stock version is horrible, but I'm resigned to using it right now until I can figure out how to fix this issue. It's probably my fault somehow, but it shouldn't be this difficult to figure out how to not send double messages constantly.
anyhow, the phone is awesome so far other than the messaging app.
does anyone know how to change the text size/messaging box in the stock messaging app? the settings were no help.
You could try hangout. That is what I am using now.

I just edited the OP to say just that lol. This is my solution for now.

I actually had an issue with that when I first got it as well. I kinda just ignored it, until I got EvolveSMS. It has a small text window so the keyboard only takes up half the screen instead of 75% of it. Give it a try.
I like it. Just press back to read the entire convo
Sent from my LG-D959 using Tapatalk
If you pinch or spread 2 fingers in the text box where you type it will enlarge or shrink the font size of the entire convo

hangouts FTW..
I just started using hangouts for my sms/mms also.. wondering though if there is a way to have the contacts app launch it for messages when I go into my contacts app? Or do I just have to start up hangouts all the time or maybe another contacts app that allows you to set what to launch into for messaging?
I'm using the EvolveSMS app.... It's a paid app tho...

Thanks for this. One of my gripes has been resolved.
I do love how it pops calls and texts on the screen in a bubble when you are in an app
What I mean is when I try to select individual letters with the phone keypad in XT9 mode, it always puts a space between every letter. Like I'm the 3rd, so I use III a lot, but when I hit i and select it from the bar above the keypad, then the next time I hit i there's automatically a space, and I can't seem to make it stop doing it.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Any ideas at all? ^^;
Turn off auto corrrect?
Oddly, I can't seem to find that setting.
Sent from my 831C using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
If you are using the stock keyboard, I just tried it in XT9 because for the life of me I can't figure out why anyone would still be using that keypad. And no spaces here. I hold down the GHI select I and do it 2 more times, no spaces.
I just can't figure it out. I think I had a problem like this with my M7, and I think someone helped me fix it, but I don't remember how. It really seems like there's settings that aren't being shown that should fix it.
Any chance there'd be a way to uncover more settings somehow?

Any more ideas? It's so annoying for this to be acting like this.

Sounds like when you choose the "i" in the upper bar, the phone thinks you're wanting it to just be an I and it automatically adds the space in preparation of the next word....what happens if you just type "iii"? It should realistically let you type that and then you can choose that combo to save in your phones dictionary. Hope that makes sense and helps you out...let me know
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
I have the III saved so it does just put it in without spaces. It's any other time I have to add any word that bothers me. It shouldn't force a space when I go to spell some things by c h o o s i n g individual letters from the top bar. I've never had any other version of sense do that before, and it really feels like I'm missing a layer of settings for text input somewhere. It's just bothersome that I wouldn't be able to turn something like that on and off.
I've tried turning on and off the other settings in that field, and it didn't stop the spaces from auto adding. I actually have to add a space then backspace between every letter I need to individually choose.
Driving me batty, it is. lol
Sent from my HTC M8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app.
I just tried to recreate what you're describing, I see how the space thing comes into play when choosing individual letters now...then I turned off word prediction and then it stopped adding a space but it also got rid of the top row with words/letters your currently typing...may I ask why you'd be typing individual letters and choosing them instead of just typing the word til it's completed? That's the only area I'm still confused about.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
Sometimes there's things I type that aren't in the dictionary or my phone doesn't want to type "on" or "go" or other two letter words sometimes for no reason, then I have to type them with individual letters. The things that aren't in the dictionary are things I don't typically use on a regular enough basis to add, or when I'm typing capcha codes and the like.
I think it bothers me more that I can't simply make it not do it without disabling something I frequently use. I could've swore that there was another layer of settings that was specifically for the XT9 keyboard.

Did you make sure English is the default language for the keyboard?...I had an issue where I would be typing and some common words kept getting switched to weird/foreign words, come to find out somehow my language got switched to Spanish I think it was. Just another idea...I'm running out of other ideas, sorry
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
It is on English. I did find I settling in Swype for auto spacing, but it didn't do anything for me either. ; ;
