Anyone have any suggestions for a better keyboard on the note 2?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
I use smart keyboard pro.
Lots of features and customizable options. Adjustable size for portrait and landscape. The two best features are smart insert for punctuation (meaning you type a word, push space, push your punctuation symbol, and the keyboard put the punctuation after the word not the space). And auto text like on blackberry.

Can't beat swype IMO, once you get the hang of it, it's just so much faster.
2nd is Swiftkey. Once swiftkey gets swiftkey flow better it will be the best.
I've tried so many keyboards, and keep retunring to better keyboard 8.

I'm using the Swiftkey Flow Beta. I was hoping it would be hands down the best since I really like Swiftkey's prediction and being able to swipe. But it's not as predictable as Swype for input. And you can't use the swipe input in auto-complete fields like browser address bars, To: fields in email and SMS.
The prediction is still the best though, so I may start just touch typing with it. But swiping with the stylus is pretty sweet.
Thumb keyboard is really good on the note 2. I like the shortcut feature and the split screen

Does Swift key have the swype action? Is that what flow is? Does it have a dedicated number row? What about punctuation on long press on keyboard keys?

Yes flow is the swype style one, no it doesn't have a dedicated number row, and it doesn't punctuate on long press... But then again I don't know any keyboard that does.

I just tried it and me think I likey too!! :silly: I usually use one of the swift key keyboards though... I like their new one but once it seems as if I am finally starting to get the hang of it, I get a "blah" moment (usually when I am trying to show off how cool the keyboard is) but I do like this smart keyboard pro too, it seems to work fairly well! :good:
Anyone know a way to get emojis working on everything not just third party sms apps? I'm talking instagram and all. I tried an app but it added a keyboard I had to switch to and they didn't all with. It would be even better if it worked with Swype haha.

the best I have found so far is by using Kii keyboard when I want to use them...at least I can you them any app....the keyboard actually doesnt suck either is has a swipe features and a predictive text feature...neither I like as well as Skype or Swiftkey
It's a font. Google it!

Kii keyboard is way better than swype I can't believe I never knew about this

I think it's fairly new.... Is a good keyboard.... I may be biased being used to Swype. The predictions aren't great... Nothing like Swiftkey but maybe you can customize it for your writing style in the premium version....

So, the stock keyboard seems to absolutely suck.
Most of the text predictions seem to be proper nouns from a long dead Eastern European language and every time I look for an "m" I trigger the delete key.
I can't always have 2 hands free to operate this behemoth, so I need a keyboard set up on the right hand side. Do any of them do it other than the retarded stock ap?
Google Works.
Try Kii Keyboard

Try the Kii Keyboard in the market, i like it and bought the pro version, it is the most customizable keyboard i have ever used.
I made a page here of a few Android Keyboards.
Just to give peeps some more ideas.
I'll be updating all of the pages in time..

That's a nice list but it still doesn't answer the question regarding which ones are resizeable for one handed operation on this phone. So far I've found that Kii and SlideIT are acceptable alternatives but Kii keyboard is not moveable from one side to the other. I still like the stock Samsung keyboard better if it just had auto correct.
Sometimes changing the DPI on the keyboard will move it over, but personally I like Swype. I use it normal, but what really helps the one handed use across the whole device is my Flygrip. Best accessory I've ever bought.

You can move kii keyboard to the left side of the screen or the right. Look at the keyboard padding option

Yes but that requires going into the settings every time you want to switch sides. I'm talking about the ability to switch sides quickly for using with either hand. SlideIT has a bar which can be pulled from side to side. I do like the top row numbers on the Kii keyboard though. I'd only used the samsung keyboard for about a week and was already accustomed to using the top row numbers.

Oh gotcha I didn't know that. Thats cool. Luckily for me ive got big hands. The top nunber row keeps me at kii tho for sure. Plus the fact that you can use any theme you find on the market. I bet if someone brought something like that up to those developers they would implement it. They are ALWAYS updating

I'm digging TouchPal. Have you compared the two? Instead of long pressing, TouchPal allows you to press on key and slide up to choose upper character (number),slide down for punctuation. You can also press delete button or slide from delete left to delete entire word. Finally, it suggests words that show up between the keys that can be selected by dragging then to space bar. I also forgot that you can slide space bar up to select emotions. I'm sure there's more... LOL

If TouchPal had top row numbers it would be very close to the default Samsung keyboard. So close but not quite.

Really? Seems like TouchPal has quite a few add'l features.
TouchPal X is definitely the finest one.

Yeah, I kinda stumbled into TouchPal Keyboard about a year ago since I have used TouchPal Dialer for years. Keyboard has proven more useful on my Note 2 than it did on my previous phones. And yeah, I went to the X version after official release (the beta was really flaky early in the development ).

Just curious what keyboard everyone is using. The S4 is defaulted to the Samsung keyboard which uses SwiftKey, but the S4 also comes with Swype. Are you using one of those, or are you using another? Maybe the SwiftKey or Swype from the market to gain some more options? Another keyboard?
What are you using, and why do you prefer it?
I'm using SwiftKey from the market. The stock Samsung keyboard does not have auto correct which is not something I can deal with.

I'm using stock 4.2.2 keyboard because I like the Holo UI look.
Kii. It has the option for the top number row like the stock keyboard, but it has autocorrect. I own Swiftkey also, but I hate it.
I use swiftkey from the market although the stock keyboard is kinda nice with the number row on top
installed the AOSP 4.2.2 keyboard. got so use to it when i was on my nexus, why change..
Check out the Swype keyboard I modded for a dedicated number row:

One big change that I noticed on the GE 4.3 was the addition of the emoji keyboard, so I extracted it and put it into my system/app (with the necessary permission (rw/r/r) changes of course!) and tried it out, here it is in case anyone else would like it. Android users are finally able to use Emoji on twitter/Instagram/facebook!
EDIT: Doesn't seem to like Touchwiz or 4.2.2, force closes continuously.

Maybr it also requires some libs? If its working on google edition rom than id say its just missing some libs
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
It seems to work flawlessly in my sgs4, the libs you need is called "libemoji.so" or "libwnn.so" in system/lib.
You cand find it in some thread in the forums, i had it since the first version of jellybean.
The problem I found is that the keyboard doesn't display the emojis, I don't know why, because we have the emoji font already.
Good luck and see a preview

Maybe it requires some frameworks to detect the emoji font in system, but anyways, the new emoji keyboard works very well in my phone.
You can use it on whatsapp for example, but you can't see the emojis you tap in the keyboard.
Well emoji is working good with just the apk and lib...However, its still a hassle to use as you have to enable it under settings, and once enabled you have no access to regular keyboards...now im assuming the google keyboard from 4.3 leak has a shortcut to the emojis however im having dificulty getting it to work on the stock rom, it doesnt seem to want to load when enabled and also causes massive lag throughout the system when enabled...tomorrow ill get a logcat to see what im missing...and hopefully im not wasting my time

Maybe im missing something....the emoji part works as did my other emoji keyboard from 4.3...but what I want is a normal keybiard that has a shortcut to the emojis on the keyboard...that way I dont have to go into my setting every time I want to use an emoji.
Now in the zip I noticed it does have "iWnnIME_Kbd_White.apk" and " iWnnIME.apk" the second is the emoji keyboard...the first looks like its supposed to be a regular keyboard, however it never pops up in my settings as an input method...for you does this install a regular keyboard as well? Or do you also have to go into settings everytime to use the emojis...
Was able to figure out a work around by installing the Google keyboard from the market, deleting all other keyboards including Samsung's and swype, then under settings of both googles and the emoji keyboard check the option "switch to other input methods" this places a new key next to the space bar that when pressed switches to a different input method...you can long press it to select a diff one or just quick press it and it will switch to the next one...by deleting all other keyboards I only have one other keyboard so it by default it just switches between the Google keyboard and emoji now

I still can't see emojis in keyboard or interface, I only can see some symbols and squares. What could be my problem??
Can I check whether you're sure that you extracted this iWnnIME.apk from the system apps in Android 4.3?
Reason why I'm asking is that iWnn IME is actually a 3rd party IME that's available in Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.omronsoft.iwnnime.ml.sc04d&hl=en). I find it difficult to believe that Google would include it as a bundled IME in their factory images.
Can you verify this? Thank you.
