I've been searching for ages for a better keyboard on my Galaxy tab. Tried them all and remembered my favourite one years ago on winmo. TouchPal,its great and free. It cannot be beaten for the fastest correcting text input,just wanted to share this as I'm very happy to be using it again..

I guess when it comes down to it, you can't beat free , but i'm very satisfied with Smart Keyboard Pro. My favourite.
i like thumb keyboard wrks great on my tab
Smart Keyboard's not bad, but personally, I think Swiftkey's new Tablet Keyboard (although pricey) is amazing. Comfortable to use, good-looking and the prediction engine is amazing.

I tried thumb keyboard and swift keyboard but they don't seem to correct my bad typing quite so well as TouchPal when I write as fast as possible and I think it was swift keyboard, seemed to lose the word prediction when typing in stock email.

You guys should try the 2.3 Gingerbread keyboard. Liking it a lot.

Just started using Thumb keyboard this morning and it feels very comfortable especially when typing in landscape. Your hands need not adjust since letters are positioned in left and right side while the numbers are at the middle.

Swiftkey tablet x is really comfortable especially in landcape when it splits

I also use the stock keyboard from Gingerbread, it has everything I need except in connectbot. i have to learn using vi instead of nano in order to stay on the stock keyboard. And is quite painful for every typo in mysql
I just installed Swype and am using it for the first time. I am so impressed that I needed to make a post about it.
The thing is freaking amazing. Seriously good.
Anyone else using it at the mo?
Yep... It's installed out of the box on galaxy s series handsets, but I love it and can barely use a standard keypad anymore so I got the beta for my cm installation..

Used to use it on my Galaxy S but not a fan tbh, tried it on my play and still MUCH prefer Swiftkey X, Swiftkey X is easily the best Keyboard for Android
I don't see it in the market. I see SMS to swipe, Word Swide and Gem Swype.
is it any of these?
Nope, it's a program on public beta. It's preloaded in the Samsung Android phones. Here you can download it: http://swypeinc.com/ After downloading the installer you just have to follow the steps it tells you.
It's mighty awesome, enough that Sony is including a Swype-lookalike (T9) in the 2.3.4 update in October. You can find similar keyboards in the market like SlideIT keyboard.

Select Beta and follow instructions.
It is a pain in the arse to download, but trust me, well worth it.
Thanks Guys
I will do that tonight. I'll try the internal PSX emu also.
Not enough hours in a day when you have kids.
BTW Another Awesome thing is the Captain America live wallpaper. It is very cool.
Just got the app really good and easy to use thanks for the info

I am now of the opinion that all swipe-like keyboards are vastly superior by default after using Swype. The difference is as large as texting on the old numeric keypads versus typing on a qwerty keyboard.
Absolutely no way could I go back to a bog standard qwerty touchscreen keypad with no swipe feature !

Tried beta 1, then switched to swype and stayed with swype.
no idea why but it sometimes lags and the words aren't really accurate either.. adding a new word to the user dictionary is a PITA..
Swift key x, ftw
I was using swype but my beta version got over after a month :/

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.
Apparently, the 4.0.3 Samsung keyboard provided a handwriting input mode but not the 4.0.4 version. Can anyone suggest a keyboard that supports handwriting that will work on 4.0.4?
May be go keyboard

I installed Go Keyboard this afternoon & I'm not having any luck finding a way to enable handwriting.
(Trying to dig up a 4.0.3 stock keyboard too.)
Maybe try this one ?
But it's a paid app and I haven't tried it myself.
Im on 4.0.4 and still have the handwriting keyboard, I just tap and hold the settings icon and can select handwriting or voice input.

Weird. Maybe the P5110 ROM is different or it could be looking at the screen size/resolution & altering its behavior. I *am* on a custom ROM (RomSwell) but it is a mostly stock, deodexed 4.0.4 so I don't think that is an issue. If I can squeeze out the time, I'll try to load a pure-stock 4.0.4.
FWIW, I didn't have any luck dropping the 4.0.3 apk into /system/app. The Samsung keyboard didn't even come up as a choice when I did that. I installed Swype Beta late last night and it looks like it may be a solution for me, I just need to do some more testing.
It would be great if someone do this)) I like sense roms
But then the Nexus 7 would look like an oversized HTC phone. It'll still have the phone ui.

I would love to see sense on my Nexus 7.I love sense.But the Problem is hat there is no JB Version oft this rom and the flyer Rom is undersized

What does "undersized and oversized" mean?
Tapatalk 2-vel küldve az én Nexus 7-ről
I was so lucky to get rid of my flyer and buy the n7. The sense ui was horrible with annoyances like having to unlock the device twice if you had any sort of lock screen (once for sense, once for the lock). And that device will never go beyond honeycomb on an HTC rom.
I guess I just like the factory android experience. The main reason I rooted my sgs2 was to get rid of Samsung's 'enhancements' too.
Obviously, everyone has their own preferences, but flyer rom would be a huge step backwards...
