Install stock keyboard (from Nexus) onto the S3

[Mastaking]

Obviously the phone isn't out yet or rooted (for Verizon) but in two weeks when it is (out and rooted ) Is there any way to put the stock ICS keyboard onto the S3.

The keyboard that comes on the S3 looks very similar but I can't stand it's predictive text and I just want to keep the predictive text from the Nexus.

Thanks in advance.

We'll let you know for sure next week, but there are numerous threads on XDA and other hacking sites that have posted the Nexus kb and associated library files:

Thanks a ton for the reply. I have actually been testing the free ICS keyboards in the market and am incredibly impressed by them. On my Nexus I couldn't tell the difference at all so I am happy.

I see the GS3 has a swype style keyboard. Not sure if it will be nice, but I might still just load up swype. Now the Keys pop on swype, so it is even better than ever!

Swype beta is infinitely better than the galaxy keyboard. For those that don't know, you can sign up on swype's website and download it right to your phone. The predictive text and auto correct was terrible, plus the lack of a comma on the main screen is REALLY annoying.

I hated the stock keyboard on the s3. I am using swift keyboard 3 and it's great. I love it!

I used the link above to get the files for the stock ics keyboard and it works flawlessly. I like it better than any keyboard I have ever tried. Swype is a close second. Swype gives me speed and one handed typing but stock ics gives me superior accuracy and decent speed.
