I recently flashed my Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 with AOSP NeatROM (4.4.4), previously I was using the stock ROM.
Problem:
NeatROM by Sale is great, but I really missed one thing, i.e. the Samsung keyboard and the predictive text. The keyboard layout by Samsung was excellent, keys were spaced to avoid typos but the AOSP Keyboard isn't as good as that and also it also doesn't have predictive text as good as Samsung's (though people say Samsung devices use SwiftKey for text prediction). I installed Super SwiftKey for the predictive text but the keyboard layout wasn't up to the mark (I went through all the themes) and due to buttons being close typos are becoming a headache.
Requirement:
I need a keyboard similar to the Samsung keyboard (i.e. has sufficient space between the rows) but with predictive text. So a theme for SwiftKey might do or if I could get the Samsung Keyboard on my phone on the current custom ROM, that'd be great.

The HTC_IME Keyboard in Honeycomb is dependent on the Sense framework. There was an HTC_IME Mod keyboard released for phones which was a modded HTC keyboard but someone would have to the same for the tablet.
Bottom line, it won't be as simple as installing an apk.
the stock keyboard is difficult to use , i switched after one day of use to thumb keyboard and swift keyboard , and my opinion thumb keyboard is more useful in tablets , and ofc when i want to make some programming using my jetstream i use hacker's keyboard

The stock keyboard may be customised (Settings>Language & Input> Configure Input>Settings.
However, may I suggest a kool swype keyboard >> SwiftKey Tablet Keyboard. It reminds me of Swype on the Samsung S2
Backstory: I installed thumbs keyboard (best keyboard ever, btw), and use it all the time. For some strange reason, my SGT will seemingly randomly default back to the stock Samsung keyboard. Being that I'm dangerous enough to halfway know what I am doing, I used titanium backup to freeze all keyboards except for thumbs. After a reboot, it appears that my plan worked....checking my settings shows that thumb keyboard is the only one available, and that it is selected (see screenshot).

Problem: While my keyboard seems to work for the xda app and my internet browser, it won't pull up in Friendcaster. Anyone run into this yet?
Potential solution: If I could somehow go in and replace / rename my thumbs apk where the stock keyboard should be, would this result in the thumbs keyboard being default? Any ideas how to do this?
Device: P7510 (wifi only)
ROM: Task14 full (with supercharge script installed)

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help!

I use LastPass. LastPass used the sample soft keyboard (modified for the app)
I managed to do the OTA ICS upgrade... oddly I was still rooted after the upgrade?
I haven't seen any other posts about this so I assume it's something specific to my setup/phone
The LastPass folks are looking into it but can't reproduce it.
Problem: The character labels on they keys are a dim white outline instead of solid.
On GB the upshift, keyboard, space bar, and delete keys are labeled this way but on ICS ALL the keys are labeled this way. It's very difficult see making it hard to use. I have no idea where the sample soft keyboard gets it's labels from but I was thinking maybe I'm missing a font file or something like that.
Any ideas?
My decommissioned Droid 2 is running 2.3.4
My Droid 4 is now on 4.0.4 after upgrading from the GB it came with. When it was on GB the keyboard looked identical to that on my Droid 2.

ICS keyboard (from my Droid 4):
Looking for an android keyboard that has a wide spacebar. If you look at a decent physical PC keyboard or typewriter, the spacebar will be ~ 75% of the keyboard width.
Android keyboards are half of that. They sacrifice the spacebar so that they can shoehorn in more extraneous keys. That works okay if you only type with your thumbs, but if you have any touch typing skills it just leads to constant typos from hitting adjacent keys beside the narrow spacebar.
One could adapt to a narrow spacebar.. but that would build badit habits that impair your typing on PC keyboards. I am looking for an on screen keyboard that has a much wider spacebar. Or even better.. does anyone have an idea what code specifies key sizing (to mod an existing keyboard)
Any ideas?

I also want wide space bar keyboard for galaxy s5
Have you tried Swype? It's the only keyboard I use, across several devices and learning to do it is not that hard and it is very fast

Hi guys
I'm currently surfing the Web via Samsung Note 10.1" (old one with new firmware) and I'm kinda displeased with the thumb keyboard.
It does have a few nice features. But I prefer the prediction on my Z2 phone.
The question is: Does the Z2 Tablet have a split thumb keyboard?
Like this:

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If yes, has this keyboard been ported to other Rom's yet?
And how do you like it?
Greetings

Try installing SwiftKey. It's got amazing prediction and can switch between normal and thumb mode.
oh, i didn't know Swiftkey now has a thumb mode, gonna try that. thx.
Not sure how much I like that.... The prediction sure is flawless but you can't move it totally at the bottom
The sony keyboard that comes with Z2 tablet has 3 modes:
-full
-split thumb
-mini
All of them can be movable up and down and the mini can be moved accross the screen as well
