[Q] CM6 Keyboards?

Is there any keyboard that will actually work, that i can calibrate and it wont freeze when im typing fast.
I put HTC_IME mod keyboard and it was alright until it froze constantly, swype requires me to look at the screen and the " android keyboard" is simply horrible.
can anyone link me to a keyboard similar to 2.1 that actually works for CM6?
Thank you

Smart Keyboard (Pro Version) is the best I've found so far. Try the free version and upgrade if you like it to get T9 capability. Can you post the apk file for that HTC_IME mod? I'd like to try that out!

@ Puffdaddy_d ; i'd be glad to if i still have it in my sd
And thanks ill try it, where can i get it ? ( too lazy to search or anything haha )
edit: nevermind found it in market
and i posted the .apk for you.

Thank you very much for the apk! I'll give it a try. Let me know if Smart Keyboard works out for ya!

I wonder if that HTC keyboard mod is really designed for the CDMA hero running froyo? It FC's the moment I try to load it. That sounds more like a complete incompatibility issue rather than being just "buggy". Do you know where you got it from?

My friend has database filled with apps and he put it on my phone via adb, it works just buggy actually.

Just tried installing this using an install manager instead of adb push and it's working flawlessly so far! I've got my HTC Keyboard BACK!!!
Too bad I can't get my $4 back from the market...

Better Keyboard works great. I think its 2 bucks on the market

try SwiftKey Beta, it's free and actually works on CM6 (I'm using it now!)

I don't know why you would want the stock one when it doesn't even have multi-touch...
Just install smartkeyboard pro, it looks exactly like the stock keyboard but with multi touch, plus some other goodies.

thats probably why the stock android keyboard doesnt work. it doesnt support multi touch lol i never would have thought that.

s10shane I did that also and it force closed but its not because of the multitouch because the g2 has a multitouch chip and still runs it..

I may be missing something, but I believe my 4g already has the stock keyboard -- you just press and hold in any text input field, choose "Input Method", and select "Touch Input" -- that seems as close to a stock android keyboard as any I've seen.

I just installed it as well. I like the options it gives for customization but the prediction doesn't match htc's. At least not with changing the settings I have found.
I like sense's keyboard and how it shows the suggested words as I am typing. Skpro doesn't seem to have that option.
I'm willing to keep smart keyboard just because it wasn't that expensive but I may need longer to appreciate it.

Anybody here lost keys vibration after TW update?

I lost US android keyboard vibration on key press after I updated to Touch Wiz. Samsung keyboard vibration still works. Anybody here has the same issue? I am not rooted, stock everything.

Yeah, its been like that since the first leaked touchwiz. No fixes for it yet and I noticed some third-party keyboards haptic won't work either.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App

Yeah, noticed this too. Come to think of it, the Galaxy S had this too when custom ROMs for Froyo started coming out. Eventually it was fixed, but not sure how. Kinda annoying being that I prefer the Android keyboard over the Samsung one.

I'm not carrying my tablet to verify, but did you try go to the setting of android keyboard and selecting vibrate option. Atleast, that option is present on my Captivate for gingerbread android keyboard.

I did that when I noticed it. I even did a factory wipe thinking that maybe something I restored via Titanium Backup. The check box seems to be useless now.

Best on-screen keyboard

Use the swift keybord trial from play store it is awesome specially the split mode stock keyboard is no where near when it comes to split mode compared to swift

Hackers keyboard. Its a tossup between that and stock. Having to switch to symbol sucks, whereas long press serves as a shift key on hackers. Hackers obviously lacks handwriting input, which is a nice feature on stock. that's the only thing I miss with hackers though.

I'm quite happy with the Swype keyboard. It has both a Split and Mini keyboard built in. Im dearly in love with the mini keyboard, only gripe is that I can't move it around the screen as much as I would like too. Being able to Swype with the pen and not trying to hack out letters is key.

I have just installed Kii keyboard from the market, I usually use Swift key and would only have installed any new keyboard similar too it.
All I can say is, this keyboard will give Swiftkey a run for its money, it is currently in beta and available in the play store and has similar features with a ton more. You can choose various keyboard styles, predictive suggestions similar to Swiftkey, you can add arrows and make numbers independent of long pressing.
I am currently using the ICS layout. Give it a shot, you won't be disappointed. The developer also has an active thread on xda forums, I think it was under android general and in the apps section.
One thing to bare in mind is that you have too enable Swype functionality through the settings and is labelled " gestures" I'm still messing around with it as there are tons more options that I still need too discover.

After review of the play, i did it wrong. The s-pen switcher app works on my 8013 with german 4.1.2 i just installed it wrong. Now im using hackers jeyboard and switching to factory writing keyboard when i pull the pen out. I will still try other keyboards but so far i really like hackers keyboard cause its like a regular keyboard.

Smart keyboard pro has the option to set the level of transparency.

SwiftKey! Very happy with it.

Thanks. I use Swiftkey on my phone, but I've reverted to using Ultra Keyboard on my Note because the tablet version of Swiftkey doesn't have arrow keys. I miss the word prediction, though. Kii might just work!

This.
I use and prefer the stock one, a semi-transparent stock one would be perfect.

yeah i like the stock keyboard but the handwriting detection puts all first letters in capitals or it sometimes repeats phrases in one sentence, crazy bug that, i don't like the fact that i can't use the in built spelling feature without turning on the predictive text, i currently use the jellybean pro keyboard, nice and simple, i don't like swift key keyboard, hackers keyboard is very good though and it's free too.

I'm running beans build 3.. I've done everything u can think of and kii keyboard will not stick. I've contacted kii themselves and don't know. Is anybody having the same problem as me?

Yeah..I did everything. I just have to freeze my Samsung keyboard and it sticks. Come to find out the Samsung keyboard remembers little things like my Gmail accounts, so I don't have to spell them out every time and a few other things... "It's the small stuff that counts"

Stop using an inferior keyboard. Pay for SwiftKey and thank me later.
