Default New Virtual Keyboard

I just read this blog on androidandme.com about a new virtual keyboard, launching December 7, called Crocodile Keyboard. Crocodile Keyboard chomping its way onto Android – Android and Me

From the screenshots it seems like it'll do pretty well. Can't wait to find out.

Who thought this would be a good idea. Just looks bad.

Lol...please tell me you're not posting with the Croc keyboard. If so then it needs tons of work, or you have fingers too big for any vk. No offense...I have fat fingers too and barely get by using BK.

I'm definitely glad I read reviews about it before I got it. It really should not be a paid app considering all the bugs it has (from what I've read). Oh well, I guess I'll wait until it matures.

Lol, no that was withbetterkeyboard

this is with crocodile. Accuracy is much better eich at leadt gives me hope that it can be improved on other keyboards. Unfortunately there are problems and ill probably be reyurning it for n at least. Lag is horrible, worse than bk or stock, which are both horrible already. Autocapitalize not working right either. Not sire aboit spellcheck or correction since i had that disabled already. Lag... im several eords ahead of onscreen display. Why is portrait so small..
Though even that is more accurate than stock or bk in landscape.

Ill try again when and if speemproves and bugs are gone.

On the upside, you can probsblu read this better than my last post. Well, a little.

Lol. It is slightly better. Can you put a screen shot of croc in portrait layout? I couldn't find any online or on their website.

Not sure. How do you take a screenshot on the hero? And can I attach it directly from the phone?


BTW, after uninstalling crocodile keyboard it defaulted to the stock keyboard, which is now much more responsive and accurate. Wth! Hope Its easier to read now. I wonder if there was soke weird conflict that was resolved in the install/uninstall process?

okay..so i was excited for this......but I will pass. I did not like it at all..buttons to tiny in portrait mode and very slow. It may (will) get beter Iam sure....I just think that the first release shoulda been free.
