what keyboards are u guys using?

[already known]

Swype and the Droid X keyboard are my favorites.

are you using froyo...? if so how did you get the droid x keyboard to work...???

 

[element4life3]

Swype exclusively. Tried Swiftkey, Shapewriter, but still think Swype is the most accurate. I couldn't be happier!

 

[FireLt20]

I only have ever had the stock keyboard. How do I find others?

If you want the best "User rated" slider type keyboards, Swype LOSES.

We ran a poll and after much heated debate and testing, the outcome in rankings, best to worst was as follows:

Ultra Keyboard
SlideIT Keyboard
Swype
Shapewriter

Reasons:
Ultra is only like $2.89, free thems, customizable size, layout, toolbard and it's very functional. ***Has speech to text button built in

SlideIT - feels most refined, not very customizable but the actual swyping and it's response is phenomenal. it will set you back more than 8 bucks though...
***Has speech to text built in

Swype... Looks like all of you are plenty familiar with Swype. It needs more development

Shapewriter - Garbage IMO

here's the thread. (the poll is not accurate, read the posts for actual preferences) http://androidforums.com/htc-evo-4g/195076-swype-v-slideit-v-shapewriter.html

Droid X multi touch.....amazing. Crazy fast and skinned in tons of diff themes. Found it on XDA

I'm usin Swype as of this morning, and it's nice. I like voice to text, but either my phone is buggy or the voice to text server is down, it hasn't worked for days. Says connection error.

Can someone post link to Droid X keyboard on XDA that works on 2.2, I cant find it.

Yall must have perfectly clear queens english to use speech to text. It rarely gets what i say and i figure the time i waste messing with it, i could just as easily be using Swype.

Speech to text does not work that well.

Sure, it, does (period)

You, just, have, to, talk, like, a, robot (period)

Pronouce, every, syllable, clearly, and, end, each, word, before, saying, the, next, so, your, sounds, don't, mix, together (period)

It also helps to keep phrases short. Unlike my long sentence above.

Since the Swype Beta is closed, is there any way to get it without rooting now?

 

[paulgl26]

swiftkey
and love it

 

[raezk]

Swype no root need!

Installing Swype on the HTC Evo 4G EverythingEVO

 

[Maximos]

Swype is dope. Anyway, how do you change highlighted items' colors' to grey, for example? Green is so obnoxious and sickening

 

[lesliegodwin]

Same here...keep trying others, but always go back to Swift Key.

I wanted to try the Droid x but all the links previously posted for xda, rapid share, mega upload force close immediately. Looks like they are all made for 2.1.

 

[toddpedersen]

I am using the Droid2 Multitouch because the buttons are bigger. I tried Swype, but that is only good for fast one finger typing. I am a thumb typer so I need Multitouch for one and then having the bigger keys in landscape mode work great.

I tried to attach the .zip, but there is an error with the site.

Just can't seem to find the right one

 

[mcbtrain929]

so does the droid 2 and the droid x have the same 2.2 multitouch keyboard??

 

[aeiou]

LOL. Oh ok...hahahahaha..
