I am on 4.1, no root. Flashed this from clockwork and it works so far.

I don’t get it so non-stock devices a not rooted?
Thought non-stock would be a rooted device.

I have a Razr Maxx HS stock shouldn’t I be able to install the .apk?

Thanks

Tim,

I gave it a shot. While it shows some promise, there are a few things I think could be improved in order for me to use it full time. The predictions are slower than what I am used to with SwiftKey, and the haptic feedback is a little too strong. I appreciate the abbreviation expansion feature, and I think I will use the keyboard to fill out forms on the web. I’ll keep an eye out for improvements that would make me want to use it as my keyboard for other use cases. Thanks for the post!

You can do it with our free app, Flexpansion (Flexible Text Expansion):

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flexpansion.android

You can add a shortcut for anything – for instance ‘qqq’ for your entire contact details, then you only need tap space to select. We have the only fully flexible abbreviation expansion system for Android anywhere, with a ton of time-saving features, and it’s straightforward to use. Please try us out!

We’ll be releasing a major update later this week (mid-Nov 2012) too.

Unlike the standard AOSP keyboard, this one doesn’t utilize the volume button for positioning ,also when you add to the user dictionary the keyboard doesn’t return aftera save. I used the new keyboard to write this on my nexus 7.

This is pretty awesome. I just installed it on my HTC Rezound running ICS. Once Swiftkey Flow comes out I’ll probably ditch it though.

this is incredible. i’ve always had issues with swype not recognizing words like them and when, but with the real-time pop-up you can just keep moving your finger until it recognizes the right word. amazing stuff.

you can be rooted and still be stock…i know i am….if you’re non-stock…you don’t have to do anything special…as the rom has it’s own keyboard, which will overwrite with this…the stock keyboard needs to be overwritten

since it says “probably a beta” i would say this is an early build

go into your language and keyboard setting and add it to your dictionary. like Jesus Otero said, im pretty sure this is a 4.0+ feature though.

there is a difference between non-stock and rooted. They are not talking about rooted when they say non stock here.

This is faster than swype. And looks a heck of a lot better, too.

Swype is king. But this new keyboard is working nicely and well on its way to being my new keyboard. (wish I could replace a couple keys on it with , and ?) The voice to Text of this is so much superior to any other 3rd party keyboard.

Sure did, I had to reboot after freezing it though. Regardless, it’s fixed. Thanks!
