gold keyboard

Just thought I'd give a nod here to Go Keyboard. They have a beautiful gold and black keyboard with swipe function which goes beautifully with the platinum gold s6 edge x

It's a nice colour but I didn't like that particular keyboard that you mention

For gods sake...it's full of hearts and coronets...ribbons and bows (or are they dog biscuits?) Sorry gal.....you can keep that. (It is pretty ...though folk would think me mad if I applied it)

Yes that does look a little girly, but it's nice. I use Swype. Suits my needs. I tried SwiftKey, but I didn't like it. I think I'll try this app on my tablet and see how it goes. Thanks for the heads up @Cairdeas

@Cleoriff there are lots of different themes. Maybe there's a different one that would be to your liking.

I have tried it in the past but wasn't too keen tbh. I liked the themes though.

I used to use swype but since it's been improved I just stick to stock Android now.
I find it perfect for me.

Way too much bling for my liking.

Another nod for Swype here, tried alternatives but I find the copy and paste shortcut too usefull to switch to anything else.

Only gripe - the lollipop colour theme does not show the press and hold alternatives for the keys.

Yes I am sure there are lots of themes @Bambino..Problem is... I am probably a bit of a stick in the mud...my Note keyboard is fine for my needs. I need it big and clear with no distractions. I have passed on the info to my daughter in law though...she loves blingy things

I just installed the Go Keyboard and uninstalled it within one minute. The free version has popups and videos trying to start and is incredibly intrusive. With all the free keyboards available, I don't need one on my device that's as invasive as that. Some of the themes look interesting, but I'm not paying for a keyboard.

Thanks for that info @Bambino

Re: gold keyboard

Cairdeas — Wed, 04 Nov 2015 11:11:53 GMT

ooh..i haven't had any pop ups @Bambino..If that starts I'll uninstall it too. I quite like a little bling tho lol x

Re: gold keyboard

Bambino — Wed, 04 Nov 2015 11:16:39 GMT

I'm surprised @Cairdeas. They started as soon as I installed a theme. Have you paid for the app or opted for the free version? If the latter, I think you'll find you get popups if you're online while you're using the app.

Cairdeas — Wed, 04 Nov 2015 11:34:24 GMT

It is free..I have an adblocker tho..maybe that helps. If it starts when online it will be gone..I hate ads! I like swype too..just wish they had a nice gold keyboard. I installed a gold theme from the Samsung theme store, but the keyboard doesn't swype..after years of using HTC trace I'm not used to typing in messages now lol 😛 x

You need to turn the swipe function on in language and keyboard settings for the stock keyboard.

Re: gold keyboard

Cairdeas — Wed, 04 Nov 2015 11:50:25 GMT

Thanks @MI5 Didn't realise that x

edit : stock works a treat now!

Re: gold keyboard

Bambino — Wed, 04 Nov 2015 11:47:28 GMT

@Cairdeas I think you'll find that if you are connected to WiFi or using your data you will get popups even with your ad blocker. I hope you don't, as I know you like the gold theme, but let us know if you do. Might save other people installing it if they don't want the intrusions.

Cairdeas — Wed, 04 Nov 2015 11:54:44 GMT

I just got one @Bambino..pity uninstalled it..so if @Toby sees this hopefully he will delete the thread.

The gold Samsung theme swipes now that @MI5 sorted me out lol ..will stick to that methinks x
