So apparently you can install this on any phone that runs ICS. It's the new android keyboard that comes with 4.2. It has the new Gesture Type feature (Google's version of swype). Looks pretty cool. Haven't tried it myself yet but will give it a shot. Let me know what you all think!

Does anyone know if this will work on cm10 or any other JB build?

Try it.

I'm using this on my ROM and it is much better than Swype! The prediction is much better, and it shows the word as it is typed!

I personally like it, but I feel like it is a bit small. Does anyone else have a suggestion for another keyboard? I hate the moto one.

This keyboard is amazing. Much more accurate than swype and it automatically matched up to my theme.

I tried to fix the keyboard to make it bigger, but I cannot compile it with Apktool. I cannot even decompile it, and compile again with no changes. If someone can find a way to build it, I should be able to increase the size.

I love it, I personally do not like the Moto Keyboard because of its size compared to this one.

Also it is very user friendly and I find that I don't have to use the backspace key as much because of errors.

I'm having the opposite experience... Probably due to the small size and my huge fingers LOL.

I love it showing the words like it does, but I'm getting a lot of errors that I don't get on Swype.

If the letters were bigger it might make a difference...

I use SwiftKey primarily anyway, so Swype style typing isn't a big deal for me. Cool to try out though!

Swift keyboard all the way. You can enlarge the keys if they aren't big enough, or keep them default (which is still larger then the 4.2 imo) if you'd prefer. Also, the prediction in Swift is insane! I've typed entire sentences without the need of pressing ANY keys.

Check out Swift Flow (Beta) which should be available to VIP members soon. I'll probably be sticking to Swift as long as I am an Android user.

I found wanam, but not sure that it is 4.2.
Same arror as the other 4 tools I have tried.
This is the first in a long list.
