Just flashed gingerbread keyboard on my droid 2 but landscaping mode is small. Any suggestions on where to find the .zip that has the bigger landscaping keyboard? Btw I'm running latest apex rom if that matters
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
a fixed version was posted in the latest release thread for the apex rom which fixed the size while in portrait. Its still small in landscape yes, which I would assume he didn't want to waste much time on that for the simple reason that if you are already holding the phone that way you might as well just slide the physical keyboard out anyhow. Just a guess.
Thanks for the info. Ill try it out. Not many people respond to my messages lol but thanks

Installed cm6.2 and the keyboard is a bit too basic. Any suggestions on a better keyboard app? Swype if at all possible
Thanks

I use SwiftKey, which is wonderful. It does word prediction based on sentences, and in some cases it can finish your sentences for you, even before you start typing them. Even if you don't use that much, it has a great landscape keyboard layout that I prefer to Swype (space bar in the middle, not the right like Swype uses), and it's totally worth the purchase price in the market to me.
I'm not sure I'm ready for the swype stuff so I'm sticking with smart keyboard pro. love it
THIS is my reply in a thread that was created 6 hours before yours. Please search next time, answering the same question 3-4 times in the same days is getting old.
Well sorry. Some of us are on the go and xda app does not give search option to me.
Thanks to someone elses helpful reply I got on swype beta so i'm set.
Thank you

What do you guys recommended for a keyboard? Which is the best?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I think it's your job to chose the best keyboard, but I'll tell you my opinion. I use the stock keyboard, but my prefered one is the gingerbread keyboard (it works for me for a few days and after that it FC all the time). If you would like to try some alternative input method, you should try Swype (I don't know if it's available for download now). First a bit hard to use, but if you learn to use it it can be faster then the stock

I use better keyboard. There is a free trial version (no skins). I got the full version because I get bored easily and constantly switch skins. There are plenty on the Market to download.
I use Smart Keyboard Pro (costs money ) and the Gingerbread Keyboard is great... If you look around you'll also find the droid x multi-touch keyboard which is also good.
Thanks guys. Now im using droid x keyboard, its pretty good.

I vote for Ultra keyboard... it's like swype but with more customization options.

Hi guys, great forum with some great tips.
Just got my xperia play and love it to bits.
Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this but I find the keyboard very inaccurate and slow to respond.
When I compare it to my previous Iphone and HTC desire it seems poor.
Any suggestions for tweeking or any options for downloading another keyboard.
Thanks in advance
Chris
Swype
Takes a bit of getting used to swyping but you can also just use it normally to type and its much more accurate than the stock keyboard
im having the same issues , i tried gingerbread keyboard lite which was much more accurate but i was a constant running process in the backgroung using around 30mb , i wish there was a way to edit the stock xperia play keyboard i.e button size height and load a custom user dictionary, yes there are other keyboards like smart, better or swype but really sony should update / fix the stock one.
anyone know if once youve installed a 3rd party keyboard can you safely remove the stock one if rooted and not encounter any problems ?.......
SwiftKey is better to use then the stock keyboard. It just takes a bit of time to get use to.

How's the consensus on HTC_IME keyboard?
I remember it was all the rage when the X10 was released but I haven't been annoyed with the stock keyboard (yet) to give it a try.

I personally hate the htc keyboard..I always used alternate keyboards when I had my HTC.
I use swiftkey, while a tad too busy for my taste, it works damn well once you set it up to your liking. The arrow keys make me not miss my trackpad, and the numberpad-style number page is awesome.
I started using one of the Iphone keyboards.
Find it much better though still not as good as my Iphone.
I just paid for number pad a t9 keyboard its fantastic

Use swype its only best ever.
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
yesss... swype is the best.. just installed it yesterday. very accurate and its free..
Hello fellas, I was wondering if I could get some feedback based on people's experience on which could be the best alternative keyboard for an x10?
I'm using the default one with wolfbreak 6.0s and it is laggy for ne most of the time.
All suggestions would be really appreciated, thanks in advance!

Swype beta rocks. Using it on WB 6.0. Doesn't seem to be many issues.

I like Swype and also swiftkey x
I use Swype Beta... And its working pretty well... The only thing, is when it is your first time using it, you are going to find it a bit difficult... But when you get used to it, you are going to type fast...
Ahhh I found out why the keyb was lagging! I just tried removing prediction and autocorrects and now this is blazing fast!
But anyway, I would like to try something new just to see how's better!

Im using the new sony ericsson 2.3.4 slide keyboard
its smooth and pretty accurate
Maybe I'll give SwiftkeyX another go, but I did try it on my X10 (had it free from an Amazon promotion) and found it not as good as Thumbs.
SwiftKey X is the shizz! Worth the money!

I'm currently using perfect keyboard. Nice alternative to the android keyboard.
Stock Gingerbread keyboard.
All SWYPE keyboard users, a new version is available for ICS. Nuance has purchase them so it has incorporated DragonGO into SWYPE. It allows for dictation.
You'll have to be a Beta user to get it.

Sweet thanks. I'll sign in and download it.

This version of Swype is WAYYY better than the stock one that came with the phone.
Well the stock is outdated

My only complaint with swype (which is a very small complaint) is i wish there were downloadable themes like go keyboard ect.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Thanks for the update. Using it now and all is great. Love swype. Now they just need to make a tablet version, i.e. one that has split keys....Not sure how that would work with swype....hmm

I got the Swype notification update the other day on two phones but the download stayed on 0% the whole time even with a solid signal.
I haven't been prompted since for an update, can someone post the version number of the latest update so I can compare?

I tried it out with build 16 of the branch that will be CM9 installed... worked quite well, just didnt' care of the little keyboard that comes up in the notification area. Didn't have a chance to research what it was about as I had to swap back to an old rom for a while. But I definitely make sure I install swype on any rom I install.

Yeah, whenever I get a notification, I'm never able to actually update through the preferences.
Like the other person said, uninstalling and going through Swype Installer again always works.
DragonGO!
I just love SWYPE, it's something iPhone don't have and they envy Android users. "Hey, how can you text so fast". I said, "chicken plucking is soooo typewriter days"
Anyone tryout DragonGO!, it's not that bad of an Apps.
Swype work for me in ICS Passion V13 without any problem, the bad think is the process of installing this new version, is very tedious.
anyway, another thing i could seen is that swype can retrieve any data swiped in your phone, says, password, credit card number, and other data. I cannot afford that.
I use my regular Keyboard. Swype is a very good keyboard!
