I agree with the auto correction wish it was more like the Samsung and swiftkey keyboard predictions
Kii issues on tablet
I recently got a Note 10.1 and Kii does not work well on it. First, the gesture trail does not show up, no matter the size chosen for it. Second, the backspace usually does not work right - when I press the backspace it appears to copy and paste the last two characters that were typed. If I keep trying to backspace, it just fills up the line with these characters, so it is pretty much unusable.
I orignally installed it from a backup from an older tablet. To try to fix it, I was going to uninstall then reinstall, but now I see it does not show up on Play, so perhaps it is not compatible with a 10" tablet. Does anyone know if Kii should work on a Note 10? It works fine on all the other Notes I have (1, 2, 3, 8). The 10 is the only one that has a touchwiz rom installed, if this is relevant.

The backspace issue happens on my note 4 sometimes, I also took it from an old backup that I had. I was able to dl to my note S from playstore before they took it down and that one works well.
I keep switching from Kii to Swiftkey. I'd been using kii for a couple years, but finding the other just as good. I still like the personal customization of kii and dictionary editing ability.

I believe I like Kii better. It shows suggestions no mater what web page I'm on, where Swiftkey has had many times where there was no suggestion line. But...
Kii is very memory intensive - it showed 150mb in ram yesterday, rebooted went down to 50, but in a few hours creeped back up to 120. Swiftkey seems to stay under 50mb.
Kii is no longer at Playstore, so apparently not supported. Has a few graphical issues, may be Lollipop or may be layout I selected. It can easily do translucent or opaque backgrounds.
I really like to create my own shortcuts for words or longer lines in Kii.
If you want to learn how to edit apk files, Swiftkey Plus has many options. I'm lazy and prefer the user options in Kii. Right now I have Kii on my N5 and Swiftkey on my N7.

I went out looking for another swiping keyboard after the difficulties I have had with Kii, and found ai.type. It took a while to get it set up to my liking (as did Kii), but I like it even better. Only downside is I had to pay $4 to get the premium, but it was worth it.
Thanks for the A.I.type suggestion. Using it now. I'll think the customization interface is superior to Kii actually. I'm struggling some with it's swipe entry though. It seems to only be reasonably accurate when it slow my swiping to a mildly unnaturally slow pace. Gonna give it some time though
Theme/background, select a transparent PNG (you need one in your gallery). Or I believe there are other themes you can find at playstore that are transparent, almost all themes work with Kii..

Guys, memory usage in modern operating system are designed to be dynamic. The system is designed in such a way that it will give as much memory as needed to an app (up to some maximum) if it has the memory available, the allocated memory will remain even when they are not being actively used. When another app (or process) needs memory, the system automatically reallocate the unused memory from one app to this other app that needs them. This memory reallocation takes time so the system will not do it unless it's necessary.
This is why on some devices you see an app uses more memory and on some devices it uses less. For example, on mine phone, Kii Keyboard is currently using 20MB of memory. If you see an app uses a lot of memory, it may just mean the system has enough memory to go around and therefore does not need to reallocate unused memory from one app to another.
Monitoring an app's memory usage is the developers' problem, not something an user should be concerned about. From an user perspective, you should just be concerning about whether the app is performing well/smoothly, if it is, there's really no need to care about how much memory it uses.4Kii keyboard is based off the android 4.2 keyboard, that's why you find many similarities between many of these ports. We are all trying to take the good ides from different keyboards and incorporate them, so yes many features are inspired by different keyboards on the market. I have definitely tried many of these alternative keyboards.
