I am not sure but I believe your refering to swype.
Swype well... it's in beta now. You can find .apk's for beta versions for different screen sizes resolutions, some of which seem to work better than others. XDA doesn't allow anyone to post links to swype .apks until swype leaves beta. The swype developers got pissed off that so many versions were posted here in the dream sapphire forums. I'm sure if you google you can find one that works on this resolution though
The droid x comes preloaded with swype, just go to menu>laungauge/keyboard, and check the box for swype. No need to look for the keyboard. If u have a droid x u have swype.

*sigh* Guys I know what swype is. The Captivate that I played with the other day had its own implementation of the multitouch keyboard, that is what I'm talking about.
yeah i know which one you are talking about. it looks exactly like the iphone keyboard, and i do mean exactly. jon4lakers did a comparison on youtube of the 2 phones and you can see them side by side at 19:47. i know they have a skin for the galaxy s look so i'm sure someone is working on the keyboard.

Hi all. I came from the Droid X and I really miss the Motorola Multi-Touch keyboard. How can I get this keyboard on my thunderbolt?
I tried installing it using the link that Droid-life posted a while back, but it force closed like crazy.

Only way I've found so far is to download Smart Keyboard PRO. I've tried to use the methods from the evo forum, read the entire thread, even tried to splice it in myself and use user made .apk and .zip files.
wow, it seems like its pretty difficult... i'm currently using the htc_ime mod that came with virusrom. it seems pretty good, i just don't like where the button to switch to number input is. other than that, its pretty good. thanks for your help guys.
i wish someone would figure it out, i had a moto, and put the multi-touch keyboard on my incredible as soon as i got it. I really like that keyboard better than any ive had, i'll use the gingerbread til someone figures it out though...
still waiting....

Am I missing something?
This lagged like hell on my TB and has no editing KB or one with convenient numbers.
Is there a swipe gesture to bring up other stuff or something like in swype?

Not sure what your referring to but i know with the tb when you double tap on a word to get the other words to pop up, the copy paste and input pop up opens also..
Blocking the words Swype is suggesting..
when you Swype with this keyboard it leaves a list of words to choose from.. no double tapping needed.

Edit: pros survives reboot, you can use the stock messaging app ( spacing and auto caps work)
Cons: no editing keyboard, you'll need to use the stock editing. (Long press on a word and use the window to get to the letter you want or use the pointer and drag to the spot you need to edit)
With the day of use I have in I'm pretty impressed there aren't any bugs. and it seems to have learned my words already. And if it doesn't the list above that it builds scrolls and has had the correct word in it.
I'm now used to the stock editing, where before I would ignore it and thought it was redundant. It is easy to use and I don't see this as a fault

Not to sound cheap or anything but 5 dollars is a little much for a keyboard.

I've been using flex T9 for nearly a month. Push the flame icon for text to speech. I love it!

I can't see how you could call it warez if you can pull the apk from a dump. Sure, it's in the market but why spend 5 damn dollars on it if you can get it from the double shot rom. Makes no sense to me. Glad I found this thread before the apk got pulled.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Just downloaded the apk will post it when my computer boots up since it is readily available for free.
Edit: Just attached the file. Obviously if any mods believe this to be against some sort of license feel free to take it down just believe since: Rom = Free, File is inside Rom, File (Should) = Free.

So this is my first phone that doesn't have a physical keyboard and I'm having some trouble. I came from both Droid one and two and the LG touch so I have always had a physical keyboard and now without one I'm somewhat lost. So please anyone with a keyboard app recommendation please speak up!
P.s. I have big hands and tend to hit the wrong key because of that.

Swift key. It learns as you type. Once using if for a while it predicts almost everything you are going to type
Sent from my ThunderBolt using XDA App
I use flext9 because you can swipe the keyboard or use the keys normally, way smoother than swype IMO.

Definitely swift key! It's so good at predicting your words that some times it feels like it's reading your mind.

+1 for swift key.
Well I already had swift key from it being the free app of the day so I loaded it up and started using it again and so far so good everything is at least better than the stock htc keyboard so I'm at least happy about that.

+1 been using this one as well and I love it. its called "keyboard from android 2.3 +" in the market. when installed it shows up as "gingerbread keyboard"
+1 for flex t9 if you like swyping or swift key for just regular keyboard use. Although t9 can do both, just doesn't predict.

+2.. I use the paid version, so I can bring up the directional arrows as needed. At $0.99 it isn't bad.

+3 lol paid too, deff worth it.
Keyboard from Gingerbread 2.3
There's a free and paid version. Best keyboard available.
+4 for gingerbread keyboard
i love how fast it is
I've also been using the gingerbread keyboard from the market for a while now (even back on my Droid X) and I love it.
I have used swype, swift and the GB keyboard.
For texting, landscape or portrait they are great.
The problem is for emails. Once you lay the phone over to landscape and start to type an email, the kbd takes up the whole screen. Is there a way to shrink the keyboard say 20% or so?
I got Gingerbread, the paid one
I had the G2, and Swype sucks on a bigger screen in comparison, not to mention Thunderbolt doesn't even come with it. I downloaded it and said wtf is this. Idk if its the screen or just not being pre-installed
I use the HTC_IME keyboard

Xda has been told not to link swype.apk and to use their www.beta.swype.com/ since its free to sign up and get updates.
Appreciate it.. reflashed it and totally forgot to save the working one I had.
Just in case someone needs it. Heres my original post with the working swype apk.

Try setting swiftkey portrait and landscape key height to large. I use the one for phones, and and it works fine. Almost as good as the keyboard on my playbook . The settings are under advanced.

Looks like its a waiting game...

Personally, I would like to use swipe in portrait, and swift key in landscape. I really wish someone could port the blackberry playbook keyboard though, that one is great .

Google keyboard. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.inputmethod.latin I like its slide keyboard better than swype and swiftkey. It's not as obnoxious as those other two when using it like with popups or word changes. I make less recorrections.
I use a SwiftKey and it's fine for me!
I'm using Google keyboard and its auto correct and swype is pretty good for me. I'm trying the Kii keyboard but not seeing enough to keep me using it very long. But we shall see.

Kii has an option for the number row and autocorrect and bout a zillion other options its worth trying the free version.

I never really gave the Samsung keyboard a chance, but since rujelus22 themed it for his Blu Kuban rom, I decided to check it out. Glad I did. I was using his themed google keyboard, and liked it, but I like the stock more. I am impressed, Sammy got a lot right this go round.
