Smaller trace keyboard - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The default and all versions of Swype are just to big for my liking(even in portrait). Writing an email is like an anaerobic work out.
Smaller trace keyboard required..any suggestions?

Using keyboard on other device

If I extract the keyboard from a ROM, can I use it on my n7? I prefer the layout of stock phone keyboard over tablet but I'm loving swipe and don't want to give it up!
P.s. yes I'm rooted so I would just push it to the right place, just making sure it would be compatible

I'm pretty sure the 4.2 keyboard was ported to 4.1 already.

That's not my problem, I'm on 4.2, but I prefer the phone's keyboard layout over the tablet's keyboard layout, and someone made a keyboard for the N7 with phone layout, but I'm wondering if this works too

Thanks for the heads up on swiftkey tablet. Generally I use a swype style including stock 4.2 so I'm quite happy to give this a go.
Prediction seems well equipped for my style of misspellings lol!

I tried SwiftKey Tablet hut didn't like it... I don't really remember why... Anyway, I just use SwiftKey like I have on my phone. I rarely type in landscape, anyway, so the keys are a great size for me to type.

Kii looks good but it doesn't have face book, Gmail and sms sync which SwiftKey has.
You should take a look at "Hackers Keyboard" from the Playstore. It features a full 5row keyboard with tab, arrow keys and much more useful keys. It's perfect for use with terminals.

+1 for the kii keyboard.
for the tablet it is the best i've used so far.
MessagEase has been my favorite keyboard since my old HandSpring. It looks strange, and you have to practice a bit to get your speed up, but it is fast and hugely customizable.

Been using this for a while; started using it after a few days of using the stock keyboard and getting tired of it. I really like it.
I'm currently using SwiftKey Tablet, really nice keyboard. I decided to use it because I was bored of the stock one (stock keyboard isn't that bad after all, but I wanted to try something new).
I have to say I am happy with the 4.2 stock keyboard.
I was using the Swype Beta - for the good voice engine.
I still use the voice engine...

I've heard thumb keyboard is good its all up to the user in the end. Personally I think the stock keyboard is perfect at 160 DPI.

I switch between Swiftkey and kii keyboard.. while the kii is still in beta, you get the split layout in landscape and other goodies.. and yeah, both support themes..

Keyboard issues

Hey all, on my stock rooted gs4. For some reason my phone kept defaulting to the Samsung keyboard even though I set default to be Kii keyboard. I froze the Samsung keyboard via TB, then it defaulted to Swype. I froze Swype, then it defaults to voice typing. Any ideas how I can get Kii to default as primary all the time? In on mk2 build BTW.

Yes I know where to do settings, the issue is that my preference for Kii keyboard to be my main keyboard does not stick.

Just use Google's keyboard in Google play, I'm finding the LG keyboard a bit cluttered tbh and I'm thinking of getting Google's keyboard also.

I just switched back to SwiftKey but I do like LG's keyboard so I was curious if anyone knew of a way to change that.
