Hey i tried out the Samsung Vibrant a couple minutes ago, its quick neat and the screen is gorgeous. What im really liking is the keyboard. Id like to know if there is anyway to port that keyboard onto the DX?

I am not sure but I believe your refering to swype.
Swype well... it's in beta now. You can find .apk's for beta versions for different screen sizes resolutions, some of which seem to work better than others. XDA doesn't allow anyone to post links to swype .apks until swype leaves beta. The swype developers got pissed off that so many versions were posted here in the dream sapphire forums. I'm sure if you google you can find one that works on this resolution though

The droid x comes preloaded with swype, just go to menu>laungauge/keyboard, and check the box for swype. No need to look for the keyboard. If u have a droid x u have swype.

*sigh* Guys I know what swype is. The Captivate that I played with the other day had its own implementation of the multitouch keyboard, that is what I'm talking about.

yeah i know which one you are talking about. it looks exactly like the iphone keyboard, and i do mean exactly. jon4lakers did a comparison on youtube of the 2 phones and you can see them side by side at 19:47. i know they have a skin for the galaxy s look so i'm sure someone is working on the keyboard.

Why would you want the iPhone keyboard dont you want predictive text like TouchPal or Swiftkey has? Type less type faster my firend.

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?

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?

Swype for Tab 2

I saw it somewhere.... used it.. wiped and lost it. I cannot find it. Anyone have a linking for it or a working APK? Thanks.

Here ya be.....
[COLOR="Red"]MOD Removed link[/COLOR]
Xda has been told not to link swype.apk and to use their www.beta.swype.com/ since its free to sign up and get updates.

Appreciate it.. reflashed it and totally forgot to save the working one I had.

Just in case someone needs it. Heres my original post with the working swype apk.

Try setting swiftkey portrait and landscape key height to large. I use the one for phones, and and it works fine. Almost as good as the keyboard on my playbook . The settings are under advanced.

Yeah am in the same boat, what are we doing wrong? Do I need to root the tab first?

It didn't work for me either, says screen res is not supported.

Looks like its a waiting game...

I hope they will release an update soon.

Personally, I would like to use swipe in portrait, and swift key in landscape. I really wish someone could port the blackberry playbook keyboard though, that one is great .

I've been using Thumb Keyboard for a while now and it works fantastically, you can setup different keyboard layouts for portrait or landscape with lots of themes and custom settings (like height and width of the keyboards as well, not to mention custom letter combos) Its great!

anything new? or we still waiting for the response of swype?

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

Good thread!! I'm ulusing ai but it has auto correct issues and dont like custom words. Going to try kii out

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.

Tried so many and my favorite is MultiLing. It offers many customization options. I even paid for this, it's so good.

SwiftKey. Seems the most refined of the ones I've tried.

Thumbs keyboard.

Gotta be honest, i'm actually loving the TW keyboard.

I use the Samsung Keyboard. The OCR input blows all other devices and keyboards away.

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

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
