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..

im trying to find a system wide one so i can view them in apps like instagram or twitter. u know the black and white ones

I use Kii Keyboard for systemwide emoji and ascii art.
But typically Swype for everything else.

Try emoji font updater I use that one on my s3 and I would doubt the font on the s4 is any different. But if it is the app backs it up so you may restore I'd you need to. And it's great in combination with Kii keyboard.

Stock keyboard sucks. What do you use?

What else is compatible with jb 4.2.2?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2

Did you try swype under Language and input options?

Seriously what is up with the stock keyboard? It seemed pretty decent on the Note 2, but on the S4 if won't insert autocorrections when you hit space, and there's nothing in the options to enable it to do so. That is such a basic feature, and leaving it out is a huge step backwards. Samsung, what were you thinking?

Get SwiftKey. Blows everything else away.

Also using SwiftKey. I never cared for stock keyboards except for the blackberry keyboard but that's a whole different phone and argument in itself lol

I use the new Swype, it's came a long way.

+1, especially since they added the option to use swipe.

Search the play store for jelly been keyboard. Its the stock android 4.2 keyboard

Swiftkey is my keyboard of choice. Works really well.

SwiftKey is the ultimate!

SwiftKey and Swype + Dragon - switching between the two. Not sure if I want to invest the $4 yet for SwiftKey!

I use the new Swype from the play store

You can turn off auto correct in the keyboard settings. I like the keyboard i like the fact it always has numbers at the top.

Swiftkey for life.

I use the stock 4.2 keyboard. I keep the apk on my SD so I can install it. You can swype or type and it seems to work well.

SwiftKey... Love it

+1 for SwiftKey.... Although I wish it also had the option for numbers at the top for us with bigger screens! But adjusting the long press to about 200ms makes it tolerable! Other that SwiftKey is bar far the best!

Help changing keyboard.

Hello I was wondering if there is anything out there that can help me change the default keyboard only when pen is detached. I use Google keyboard and I want to use stylus beta when my pen is detached. Is this possible?.

I don't think you are able to have two keyboards at the same time. You 'll have to disable the one to enable the other.
