whats the best keyboard for the thunderbolt?

Toggle sidebar Toggle sidebar
I'm in the switched to FlexT9 crowd. I had swype, but then switched to Swiftkey... FlexT9 seems the best of both worlds.
 
I have used swype, better keyboard, swift key, swift key and flex t9. Flex t9 is hands down the best of the swype clones. Better keyboard would be my choice for a standard keyboard what with all the different skins you can download.
 
For all those using the Gingerbread keyboard, could u tell me which one it is in the market. The only one I see labled Gingerbread Keyboard, the reviews are saying the keys are too small.

Same here. Plus it has a little gingerbread keyboard feel in there top. What I really love about it is,i doubt have to press any buttons to switch between typing and swiping.

I haven't tried the one in the market, but that's the problem I have with the one that's included in the Rom I'm running. Love the keyboard, but I have problems hitting the right keys a lot.
 
Ive tried slide it, sywpe and flext9... Flext9 kills them all, seems the most responsive, most accurate, and learns really fast!
 
I've been using swype beta the last couple days and really like it. Only problem is I have it set to automatically put spaces between words, but it doesn't do it on the messaging app. On all other text inputs it automatically puts spaces but in messaging I have to press the space bar. Anyone know of a fix for this?
 
Hey guys, I just got Smart Keyboard trial, and fell in love with it, put the galaxy skin and bam! Best keyboard ever.

How long does the trial last? I hope it's permanent because $3 for a keyboard is meh..

But it's all good if I can keep the trial, because I don't really want to change any keys around.
 
I've been using SlideIT and like it better than Swype, but from what I see here I think it's time to try FlexT9.
 
I recently downloaded the A.I Keyboard beta with the Gingerbread keyboard, and although it looks good, and has a pretty decent predictive text, i find the keys a bit too small. To me, the predictive text isnt as important as the size of the keys, simply because i don't use the feature that often. I'm going back to the stock for now, but does anyone else have any suggestions for Gingerbread keyboards?
 
I use smart keyboard because I can change my skin. Also they have add the calibration from the htc keyboard into the settings so i rarely make mistakes.

And here I've been using, and loving, Swype all along. Maybe it's time to give something else a try. Is it freely available in Market, or better to obtain the apk from somewhere?
 
So all in all I've been searching for the past two months to find the keyboard that suits me. I thought the stock was fine until I started to type fast and it couldn't keep up with me and lagged. Then I tried the swype for evo version. That worked great until it started to annoy me that it didn't have the voice to text feature. Then i tried the gingerbread keyboard, that too worked good until eventually it started lagging because it could not keep up with my typing speed. After feeling like I would never get a keyboard that could keep up, I noticed amazon was doing the free app of the day as the flext9 keyboard. Figured I'd give it a shot, worked great for about a week, loved the swipe ability as well as fast typing typing and voice input. That was until the past 24 hours where it has become a trainwreck with lag and inability to comprehend what I was typing, regrettably I had to part ways with it because it showed no signs of improvement after a reboot and some message house cleaning. I thought I was forever going to be angered by this problem of lag with virtual keyboards that struggled to keep up with my typing ... that is until just this morning. I noticed many sights touting on the front page the swiftkey x beta on the market for free. I looked it over and the most appealing thing I saw in the description was "improvements to the fluency engine" and I was sold on giving it a try. Well so far I can say that I've used this keyboard for about an hour and its been absolutely great so far. It doesn't have the swipe ability but has voice to text and most importantly its been able to keep up with my typing, and is doing a damn good job of auto correction I must say. Hopefully this keyboard is able to keep this up, because if it can and decides not to rear the ugly head of keyboard lag, I may have finally found a permanent keyboard for my phone.
 
noob question - if I try out the swiftkey X Beta and decide to go back to stock, is it as easy as deleting the app?

will I need to change anything else back?


edit to add: what is the swiftkey keyboard I also see in the market? do I need both the keyboard app and the beta app?
