[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaatisu84:
if you see se logo then you haven't flashed doomkernel.

try again, follow the guides on this forum, get your phone back into fastboot mode and flash the kernel "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

then press volume down to get into recovery

THUMB KEYBOARD has to be the best keyboard period. This phones big screen makes it run so smooth and you get full customization including the latest theme. I have tried every keyboard in the market and this one is the best by far. Feel free to check out the attached picture and ask for my set up :) by the way I'm running Ice Cream Sandwich :D

Is this keyboard optimized for the galaxy note? Meaning if I were to type in landscape mode does it allow me to still see the web page, text message, email ect. That im typing on without pressing back? If not I would say the stock optimized gingerbread keyboard is still better.

Edit: After this thread I decided to buy the keyboard and couldn't be happier. Great layouts and always have been a fan of the arrows since HTC sense. This keyboard is also EXTREMELY fast. FINNALY a keyboard that can keep up! Landscape options are also very awesome. Good stuff.

I came to the same conclusion just the other day. I was having trouble with typing speed on swiftkey x/swiftkey x tablet so I installed thumb keyboard. After tweaking the cursor row height all the keys line up just right for my thumbs leading to much faster typing for me. The ICS theme is pretty good as well.

Yes you can customize the layout according to whether your in landscape or portrait.

You can also change the size and height of the rows and keys so you can dictate how much screen is used by keyboard. I didn't mess with any of those settings and have no problem with it taking up to much screen or not seeing where I am typing.

The split key layout is nice in landscape because you can reach all the keys with both thumbs. Also in portrait I use the offset layout where the keys are at different heights so your thumbs don't get in the way of each other and allows you to grip the phone comfortably. And there is the standard layout as well.

Tons of options you can change pretty much anything. Try it out you always have 15 minutes to refund. Oh ya plus there are about 30 themes and color combinations for the keyboard. I use the honeycomb theme its awesome

I use Thumb Keyboard for my tablet, but usually for the tiny keyboard on the right, not the split keyboard (hard to reach the middle).

I often switch between sliding & thumb typing, so I've been using Touchpal a lot. I love it's ability to slide up & down on the top & bottom rows to get lots of alternate symbols. For some reason, I really dislike holding down on a key for a second to get to the alternate symbol.

With that in mind, the keyboard I've been using a lot lately is... Keypurr!

Negatives - as far as I can tell, dev's have abandoned it. No replies or updates in 6 months. Can't adjust size of the keyboard.

Pros - Slightly compact layout (not the 'full compact' mode). Ability to slide up & down on all letters for alternate symbols. 12 Pre-defined by user function keys to hit a button on the suggestion area to auto-type out anything you want.

Finally, it also has abbreviations (full customization). So I can set t/the, M/Matthew, x/Alex, v/Steven, idk/I don't know.. and so on.

I wouldn't mind a full querty keyboard with the same functions I like in Keypurr (function keys, abbreviations, sliding on keys for symbols). Anyone know which other keyboard support 1 or more of those features?

EDIT: Testing Perfect Keyboard. It has the shortcut ability, but not slide for symbols. Might write to them to ask.

+1 for Thumb Keyboard. Absolutely NO lag for me, fastest typer there is. Perfect key sizes. I think SwiftKey has a better autocorrect and prediction engine, but the keys are far too small for my giant thumbs. After using SwiftKey for a few days I found that I was typing SLOWER because I was constantly missing keys and even its great autocorrect couldn't keep up. Back to Thumb Keyboard! If only I could use the SwiftKey autocorrect with Thumb Keyboard...MY THUMBS WOULD BE INVINCIBLE!

I use GO Keyboard on occasion for the Fantasy Text setting and Emoji input. But then immediately switch back to Thumb Keyboard.

My favs are also Thumb Keyboard and SwiftKey X Tablet. I think SwiftKey looks better and has industry-leading word prediction, but Thumb Keyboard seems to be a bit more accurate with typing.

i switched a few days ago to Thumb keyboard and feel like I am making less typing mistakes. Really like it...used swiftx before which is also nice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sodomanaz:
I liked Thumb Keyboard on my captivate but for some reason my typing has been pretty annoying on the Note.

For example:

*If I type:* Hi how are you?

*I get:* Hi hohow are you?

I'm not typing "ho" twice, but this happens almost every sentence. Changed keyboard layout and still get the same issue.

Switching to SwiftX (not for tablets version) and seeing how it goes.

Anyone notice "T" being a pain in the ass on all keyboards when it is the start of a sentence?

*If I type:* There

*I get:* here

Happens almost every time on both of these.

Just noticed it's a pain on the first letter I type in a new sentence. Kind of annoying.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] polstein:
Wanted to bump this old thread. Curious after all this time, which keyboard did you settle on as the best?

I seem to keep flipping constantly. I'll use a keyboard & be happy until minor problems add up prompting me to switch to another.. then it starts again.

Sometimes software updates cause problems (like swiftkey split mode no longer works) and sometimes it's things I knew about just causing too many problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sodomanaz:
I've gotten used to SwiftkeyX regular (not tablet version) now. Other than the stupid .com button that would be nice to be able to toggle off/on, I find it pretty good. Thumb Keyboard kept giving me multiple letter errors (it was like I was typing with a stutter) so I gave it up.

Might check it out again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] skinblues:
The best one I've used is the Swype 1.3 beta. Not sure if it's the latest and greatest but it's very quick and smooth, has lots of themes to choose from, and I rarely mis-type a word. Haven't tried too many, but I like this better than SwiftKey 3 and the new Android swipe-style keyboard. I can't imagine not swiping to type anymore.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] polstein:
I'm curious - do you even feel like it's a problem that you use 1-finger to do all the typing?

For many (maaaaany) years I'd was a big fan of the sliding keyboards. Recently I figured out why: The stylus. Back in the WinMo days, all the devices had them. Nowdays, even with the note, I don't use my stylus to type, I like 2 fingers largely due to capacitive screens taking over.

For 2-finger sliding, I've been using Keymonk (all the advatages of Swype but with 2 fingers). But for some reason, even then I often have been wanting to use 2 thumb typing (no sliding) - I keep switching from Ultra to Swiftkey to Smart Keyboard. All have good & bad in them.

I'm also messing around with Messagease - found out you could do a split keyboard & have all letters on *both* sides of the keyboard.

In general it's weird for me. Even if I am 90%+ happy with what I'm using, a couple weeks later I feel the need to switch to another keyboard.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] skinblues:
I don't feel like it's a problem that I do my typing with one finger. Actually it's convenient since I can just hold the phone in one hand and use 1 thumb to write as fast as I do on a full size desktop keyboard with 8 fingers. I think using two fingers would be awkward, but I'd give it a shot. I also love the gestures with Swype. Especially the implementation of the equivalent of ctrl-a, -x, -c, -v. It's very intuitive for somebody that's used to a full size keyboard.

I haven't experimented too much other than the swipe styles, but I saw one which was a kind of like a circular dial and looked very strange. I'll give Keymonk and Messagease a shot. Might not like it, but it's worth trying at least.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] polstein:
Oddly, I never tried using a 1-finger Swype keyboard with 1-thumb instead. I always used my index. Hmm. Going to go give that a shot now :)

Note, MessageEase isn't a sliding keyboard, it's a thumb-type thing with an alternate layout designed to give you 9 big buttons & slide to get to other letters.

The circular thing is 8pen. Fun keyboard, and very very accurate. Long learning curve (took me about 2-3 weeks to gt down) but they make a neat game to learn with. My only problem with it: The trail to make a word is very very long compared to say Swype. I've been asking them for next word prediction for a while. The suggestions make typing more then 3-4 letters of a word, so if they can nail next-word prediction I think they can get their speeds waaay waaay up.

Hmm. Kind of hard to describe. I still use it sometimes to so I don't forget the layout.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CalcProgrammer1:
My favorite keyboard by far and wide is Hacker's Keyboard. It doesn't have too many fancy features but it is a full set of keys with a familiar layout. It works best in landscape mode and provides a full QWERTY board complete with punctuation keys, tab key, 2 shift keys, ctrl+alt, arrow keys, esc, a full number row, and a second page with F# keys, a numpad, home/ins/del block, and more. Android actually supports a lot of ctrl key commands (ctrl-A is a big one for me) and it helps when using remote desktop, ssh, or terminal programs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SayWhat10:
i mainly flip between 2: swiftkey (which is probably the best) and A.I. Type (which works like swiftkey but gives you more predictive options instead of teh standard 3 with swiftkey,also you can make your own shorts cuts, like 2 letter combos that will spell out complete sentences that you may commonly use like "how are you doing" "whats up with you" etc

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] polstein:
I don't understand why shortcuts aren't in every dang 3rd party keyboard as a standard option. Come to think of it, I dunno why blacklist isn't in each one (only Ultra has it afaik). I looked at AI a few times - I'd like to try their Tablet version on my Note. One day I'm going to try to modify build.prop to something to try to fool the Market to try to install it.

Playing with Swiftkey today & a couple things in it still bother me. Word prediction/next word guess is the best - but I really hate reaching up to the suggestions to pick one (when it isn't center). Space bar makes sense - would like to see a slide left to get left suggestion & slide right for right suggestion. I know it's minor, but really bugs me.

I'm also not sure what works faster - going slow & steady & using Swiftkey's suggestions, or typing much faster & letting auto-correct do it's thing. It does seem to take more time to constantly watch & read the 3 suggestion then just typing the dang word.. but if you don't use the prediction then what's the point of using Swiftkey in the first place (this is the point I switch to something like Smart Keyboard and just type faster & watch my output for corrections).

I've heard of this app, but I never type in landscape so no need for it. If I may ask, what reason do you type in landscape in the first place? An app that you use that forces it? Some other reason?

I find it kind of funny that in the same sentence you mention correction you have a typo :)

I had to turn off Swiftkey again yesterday. Just a bad day of having to type a bunch of manual words where it kept trying to correct them, and a number of normal auto-corrects where I didn't catch it in time.

Is it me, or the better a keyboard is at auto-correcting the harder it is to manually type in a 'non-word' ? F'instance, in Swiftkey you can often hit the left button to get exactly what you typed, but the letters are small for me to accurately type something. Some keyboards (SlideIT, Touchpal, etc) have a manual mode where auto-correction can be turned off.. as long as you remember to do it before you type the word & turn it back on after.

This usually makes me switch to a manual keyboard (no auto-correction) like MessageEase.. till I type something like "I" & it fails to auto-capitalize it.

I tried thumb keyboard too, and the layout is nice, but I found myself missing the next word prediction.

So until the next version of swiftkey comes out with swipe functionality, I'm using the 4.2 keyboard :good:
