I've been happily using a Galaxy S3 for the last two years, just got the Note 4. Pretty happy so far with everything except the size is a little big and tricky to use one handed...anyways....
I've been using Swype for 2 years, and I like the quick access to punctuation, copy& paste, etc. I know the default Samsung keyboard has swipe but it's not quite the same.
Am I the only one using Swype? What keyboard are you using?
I'd love to get the reliable performance, prediction, and punctuation of Swype but gain themes.
SwiftKey
The default is board is OK
My normal is SwiftKey
I also use google keyboard it's good as well
Google
Google keyboard. It's a good keyboard. I like the material design themes that are included.

There are so many themed key boards http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387785
This thread is full of them customized from the Google keyboard.

I didn't like swift for some reason. Can't remember why ?
That link above, does it show previews of the available themes anywhere.?
SwiftKey for years for me.
The new Google keyboard is by far the best in terms of accuracy and speed. Plus the lollipop theme is awesome

How are you guys theming swift? does it support themes now? has it been that long since I used it? I've been using Swype which has no "themes" just a few color options. I'm just so comfortable with the way it works I tried another one called iKeyboard that use Go Keyboard themes (which are limitless) and its "OK"............just having a hard time cutting the strings from Swype I guess.
Yeah it recently started getting themes. I like the look that they are bringing now

The keyboard is awkward after switching from a iPhone, I found a iPhone keyboard skin but since the screen is small it won't put the keyboard on there. The numbers is in a odd spot to get to. Is there any other keyboards for the Aria?
i see two on page one of this forum and another on page 3.....
Swype is okay but takes some getting used to IMHO. I've been using Swiftkey beta and liking it.

The HTC IME mod keyboard is pretty good as well and you can make your own skins for it.

I'm digging Swiftkey. Tried Swype and like SK better. I tried typing as fast as I could in landscape mode and it got all the words right. In portrait it was so-so... but that is expected (and heck, I wanted a smaller phone, so I asked for less keyboard real estate).
I just saw this while searching for something new because swype stopped working as of today. First time I ever heard of SwiftKey and I really like it! Pleasantly surprised.

How do u use the skin ucreate?
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
You have to drop it onto your SD card and then use a file manager to navigate to your SD card and install it.
Once installed you go into settings then languages and keyboards and select the keyboard you just installed.
Once selected long tap in an input field and choose input method, choose your new keyboard and you are done.

Downloaded the swiftkey beta, used if for a day, liked it so much I took them up on their offer of a reduced price to buy the non-beta version on initial release(today). Good stuff and it was only US $.94.
One More Vote for Swiftkey
+1 for Swiftkey. In my mind it combines the best of a traditional touch keyboard and Swype.

Cool, thanks for this info too, I am going to try SwiftKey later on.
Am I crazy, I liked the keyboard on 2.1 over 2.2 or are they the same, just a different color?
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

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.

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.

+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

Kii is the truth.

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.

Swype . . . for life. It's one of the first apps installed. I wish I could do it before the registration of the phone.

Me too. Tried the stock one, Swiftkey flow, SlideIt, Thumb Keyboard, TouchPal, and a few others. Always come back to Swype.
I use the samsung keyboard. I like the number row above the qwerty keyboard. My only gripe is that it doesn't have auto correct.

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.
I'm on dynamic pop and miss my red and black keyboard. Couldn't find anything so thought I'd ask here.
This thread had tons of Google keyboard themes. Not for the stock keyboard but it might be a decent substitute for now.

This will not replace your keyboard, but if you want your stock samsung cod6
keyboard to have a fresh clean look making it easier to see the alphabet keys
when typing then this is for you.
This will mod your existing samsung cod6 keyboard by removing the symbols
on each of the alphabet letter keys.
Here is the download link:
