Stock keyboard 'arrows'

I've grown quite accustomed to the stock EVO keyboard, but I'd love to lose the arrow buttons at the bottom of the keyboard.
Suggestions?

HTC IME mod keyboard. Search that; I don't have a link.
There's also the Droid X multitouch keyboard, but that's not much like the stock Evo keyboard

How to do double letters gesture typing?

Hi just wondering if anyone can help me out. An example of my problem is i was using gesture typing and tried to spell off. But could not get the second "f" all it would do is "of"
Is there anyting we have to do to assure this doesn't happen?

Try making a circle on the doubled letter. That works on Swype.

That was the first thing i tried

All I have to do is pause on the letter I want duplicated. If that doesn't work try to go back and forth over it

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...

Stock keyboard sucks. What do you use?

What else is compatible with jb 4.2.2?

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

+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!
