so far I have tried a lot of keyboards on the streak and the best one I have found is SlideIT from the android market..... the only thing is its a little bit on the pricey side but you can find the free one there too but only use it for a week.... you can use swipe on it and its really big.....
Wish swype would open beta again.

i know we cant post links to ripped or hacked versions of swype on xda. but you can find wvga (not hvga!) versions of 2.4.44.10912.t100 which is the latest version and works great.
what android are you on 2.1 or 2.2 from steve, if stock should work
As rumors on streaksmart.com are saying, Swype will be default keyboard on Dell´s official 2.2 for the Streak.
I can't wait for Blindtype to come out.

Maybe since google bought them it'll be released in gingerbread?!?
I hope the .apk will be out for it. We are just getting froyo, gingerbread might be a while more for us
I've been using swype and it's brilliant in portrait, not as great in landscape though. I don't think I'm allowed to post a link on this forum but if you Google swype wvga 2.6.47.11856 apk you'll find it
I use slideIt and like it.
Thanks for this tip. Slide It is awesome on my streak. The keys are huge and the swype like features are cool too.
Thanks!

What do you think is the best keyboard?
Personally I think swype is overrated. Gingerbread seems to be better but still lacking. I'm using smart keyboard now bc it has a free trial. I think I would prefer better keyboard bc of the skin support out there but it has no free trial. What do y'all think?
I personally use swype, even if it does miss some words occasionally.

Smart keyboard pro, keyboard from Gingerbread 2.3, HTC ime mod, then swiftkey imo. Swype is a great concept but it falls short for far too many reasons.

I have Smart Keyboard Pro, Swype, and the Gingerbread keyboard. I think Gingerbread is the best of the three.

It does feel a bit small, but its so much more responsive than either of the other two. I think you just have to practice it and get used to it first.
I like the fact that SlideIt predicts the words you use the most.
Although, if you want to use another word, you have to pay attention to what you're doing. Otherwise it will use the word most used automatically. But is works wonders most of the time!
I'm really digging Smart Keyboard Pro [:
The T9 mode is sweet-- great for texting with one hand
Smartkeyboard pro. I like the skin support much better, I have about 30 skins, and they aren't clogging up my app tray because the skins are just zip files that you put in a folder called "skins". Its also extremely accurate and fast.
HTC_IME.
The original HTC Sense Keyboard is my favorite.
I don't like Swype or the default Android keyboard.
this is just a question is there a htc ime keyboard that works on cm7? if so can someone send me the file.

Its been so long since I've used the HTC keyboard I cant even remember what it was like. But...
Have you tried the AOSP Gingerbread keyboard? Its actually a huge improvement over the eclair/froyo Android keyboard. Its up there with Smart Keyboard Pro. The only reason I use Smart Keyboard Pro over the Ginger keyboard is that SK has skins

Oh wow thank you so much. Other ime's were just crashing on my aria. This one works great.
I have been using swiftkey pro for a few weeks now. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to display correctly in many apps because of the aria's small screen. Sometimes the keyboard covers up the text box, especially in landscape mode.

I'm glad it works for you.
I have a "Frankenstein" setup on my phone, which combines most of the best of each ROM (Liberated and CM7).
I like the look of Sense, but I also like CM7's flexibility and other features (like built-in SIP).
I also like some of the Sense widgets (e.g., Friendstream).
So I loaded up CM7, then LP Sense UI, which makes the phone look like Sense (with widgets, too).
Adding the original keyboard makes the phone easier to use.
Have fun!
Someone help me out here. I'm tired of the stock Samsung Keypad. The keys in the QWERTY keyboard are too tiny for my fingers, and 3x4 is fine, but not that great
Which one do you think is the best?
Personally I use the gingerbread keyboard from the market.
The keys are a bit bigger, and it's text prediction is amazing. And you can tap on any word you've typed and make corrections, even if it wasn't the last word typed. If you know what I mean.
I agree ^^ I love tthe gingerbread keyboard

Try SwiftKey x beta! It's great!
@ barqers & ezsoulja :
Thanks but I've already tried out the Gingerbread keyboard. But it doesn't have a 3x4 keypad. So its hard to text while you are at the breakfast table!
@ Humpie :
I'll check out SwiftKey X now! Thanks
Smart kayboard pro using it since I've SG3
Try "Touchpal" (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cootek.smartinput ).
Its the best and fastest 3x4 i've ever had. The keys are large enough, "Slide down" numbers are just awesome
hi
try big button keyboard its nice and big and easy to use free and paid version available in the Market
im using it for quite some time very confy for my big fingers
@ 2happy2beu : Woah! I really like Touchpal. Its got both 3x4 and Qwerty. And its so easy to change the case and input numbers. Thanks!
@ haree : I just saw the screenshots of "Big Button Keyboard". Looks like it'll need a long time getting used to. But thanks anyway. Appreciate the help
Check out "MultiLing Keyboard".

Now I'm completely confused! Every one seems the better than the other!
I recommend Gingerbeard Keyboard 2.3+ (paid version). It is the best I've ever had, I can't live without it. Paid version has a little bit more useful functions than stock Gingerbeard Keyboard. Also these are themes and customizable buttons (size).

True!
Best keyboard ever.
Great options like plugins and dictionaries.
In setting you can select a lot of things like:
keyboard themes
input languages
::wider keys::
::keyboard size::
and much more, so give it a try.

Yeah. I like this one!
If you use english or any ''popular'' language get swype beta, it's just awesome when you get used to it and it doest require much precision with your fingers so its easy to use, with other languages i find the gingerbread keyboard to be the best
SWYPE is Best........... nobody can overtake this
Rename original Vending.apk in Vending.bak.
Put new Vending.apk in \system\app.
Enjoy.
P.s. reboot if search do not function.
I read it's not playing nicely with Honeycomb tablets. What's your experience been?
just downloaded it
the home layout looks fine but sort of not ment for a tab like some of the apps are just little icons in the corner of the boxes theyre ment to be in and on the my apps page you just get a long list of your apps which looks like a stretched phone version :L
thanks for the link but i think ill put it back to how it wass

Just played around with it. It's not for tablets. Low res banners and small app icons. My apps section isn't that great either.
Thanks for the replies everyone! I think I'll old off on this one for a bit. Using it on my SGSII and it's great! But I'll wait for a better tablet-optimized version.
I must say this one is stable and working fine with my tab.
No fc and no lag at all.
Page loaded quite fast...happy with this one..

There's a new version of the market out now after the Google Music reveal. Anyone tried it on their tablets yet?
3.3.12 seems to work good. runs task 5.1 and everything seems fine.

how about one optimized for tablets?
when I applied the same apk from my xoom on to my galaxy tab at first it was the right version but then the app updated on its own and it no longer was the tablet version.
For what its worth
Here is the same newer style of Market that has the right formatting
(Large icons and Text) its 3.1.5
hope that helps

Does it include the 'staff picks for tablets section?
yes
yes it does it, the only issue I'm having is that my tab keeps updating the market to 3.11 its pissing me.
but like NO ONE has posted it, even though there are like 13 threads on it. does anyone have the link to it? im on CM7 now and...i am not used to using that tiny ass keyboard haha. if anyone can post the .apk i'd appreciate it

I also like the Gingerbread keyboard the most (eg. the stock one on CM7). I was surprised by this after trying Swiftkey, Smart Keyboard Pro, MultiLing Keyboard, Swype, and a few others, but the Gingerbread/CM7 keyboard, at least for me, gave me the fewest mistakes along with fast speeds.
I was just curious as to what keyboard everyone is using on ICS ROMs. I used to use Smart Keyboard Pro, but it hasn't been working as well for me.
And I'm trying to deodex the newest Ineffabilis, but it's not working with the kitchen. Any ideas?
ICS Keyboard from the market. Works well and looks right.
I am using the one from the market too, but I really want the official ICS AOSP keyboard. Seems it won't work right as is, must be a lib or something i'm missing..

I'm using the latest Swype beta. I know the HTC keyboard has swipe input, but I just like the Swype keyboard the best.
Swype beta here, use hackers keyboard for terminal though, in landscape has all the keys need rather then flipping back and forth with different modes

I love using the compact qwerty version of Smart KB Pro in portrait for rocket fast texting, but swiftkey x has hands down the best word prediction.
