ICS Keyboard for Android
This is the keyboard from Android 4.0 (code name Ice Cream Sandwich). It's the same keyboard you'll find on brand new devices, except you won't need a new device to use it! As a matter of fact, it works on pretty much any device that supports software keyboards (including old phones running Android 1.5/Cupcake).
This keyboard is 100% free. If you like it and want to contribute to our efforts, you can purchase the donate version of this keyboard.
If you want something a little more customizable, please try Ultra Keyboard. It has many innovative features designed to help you get the most out of your Android text experience.

About requested permissions: The Internet permission is necessary to make speech-to-text work on older devices. That is the only thing it's used for.
Love this keyboard. When u upgrade zenfone6 to 4.4.2, google keyboard will be removed. By downloading this ics keyboard ur problem is settled. Thnks developer. Simple keyboard for simple person. Keep it up!
Guys they know its broken after the latest update... just leave them alone about it
Thank you so much for making a keyboard that was just like the old one. I can't stand the lack of backspacing your punctuation in the new keyboard, and this fixes it.
Used to use it on my lg 4x a while ago but now it keeps crashing on lenovo s820, used to prefer it over ice cream sandwich keyboard because of croation language support but now i have no choice
It constantly keeps crashing. Will not stop. Please fix immediately.
I was having so much trouble for the past somewhat 10 days because my Google KB would minimize all the apps I'd open and try typing in them... finally I read this article where someone suggested using the ICS KB, and I'm back in the typing game again :) I'd only like to know where I can get the Bulgarian KB from???
I was very disappointed that the speech-to-text microphone didn't show up. Turns out that it "vanishes" if you uncheck "Google Voice To Text," which I did, thinking the ICS keyboard was all that was needed. Once I re-inserted the check mark, the Speech-To-Text microphone showed up in the lower right and all was working again. Although not especially well. Maybe Google is at fault here?
Great app, I love everything about it. I'm only missing one thing. The 3x4 keypad for portrait view
Please fix it immediately it does not work on my galaxy tab 3 8 .0[stock 4.2.2] it force closes everytime i try to open it earlier it was working my galaxy ace plus but now is not working
Shame, it's such a good keyboard, too.
Works fantastic! Needs user dictionary, and touch to correct words! THANKS!
If there a buttun to resize the keyboard its will be perfect and another to change the languages easly
Fixed force close problem. However still only gets a 4 because they neglected to test and fix it for so long
Will not work with new update on verizon galaxy s3 after new update. Will change review after it is fixed
It's not working. It's gives ics keyboard will suddenly stopped please report. Wtf!!! Any help?
It's Been Working Perfectly Until Yesterday...It's Force Closing Every 5 Seconds Now...Please Fix.
I'm not sure why but after wiping dalvik this app began force closing, I believe it has somethig to do with being system app compatible is there any hope in fixing this issue?
Looking forward to trying this out, but kept crashing. Initially did not disable google keyboard so had two keyboards enabled. Maybe needs a bug fix for rooted S4. :-) Perhaps something went wrong in the rooting process but all other keyboards work fine. Glad it works well for many users. :-)
My fault I had disabled the voice text so I thought it was your fault but it was mine I love it sorry Merry Christmas!!!
Anytime the keyboard is required to open, I just get the "program has stopped" message. After I close it, it continues to pop up about once every second. I need to uninstall it
This is my 3rd try having an Android phone...have been an avid iPhone guy and decided to jump from the iPhone 4s to Droid Razr Maxx. Gotta say that Android has come a long way in the last year. My biggest complaint was missing the keyboard on the iPhone. How it auto corrected typos and just the feel of the keyboard. This is a great replacement and I've tried several others. This keyboard and app are awesome!
Bundled this in :( No mic on kb, lags.. found better
When I attempt to open the settings for this keyboard, the app will force close on me. Tried 2 times and happened both times. Dell Streak 7 android 3.2 Honeycomb.

I just upgraded to the Galaxy Note 3 from the Galaxy S3 and now I can't get the keyboard to load at all.
1. Caps-lock turns off by itself when you flip between letters and numbers screens. Very poor. 2. The keys have wasted space around them. It would be nice to be able to vertically shrink the keyboard. 3. Suggested spelling only shows 3 words at a time in the live preview bar (the pop out screen is a nice touch). I can't help but feel the gingerbread keyboard app from steven lin works better (but looks worse)..
it is much better than Samsung keypad. no problem typing passwords on browsers like it usually happens. you can avoid adding words you would never use again
This is a really great app I download it every time I get a new tablet but for some reason it won't download It says Its compatible with my tablet and I can download it but it won't do it for some reason, please see what's wrong if you can? Thanks.
EDIT:Turns out I forgot to go on the app.just 2 two things,could you put some things from the gingerbread keyboard such as a keyboard down button and a setting for no space after choosing an autospell word
I'm not sure why but after wiping dalvik this app began force closing, I believe it has somethig to do with being system app compatible is there any hope in fixing this issue?
Since the last update the keyboard has been behaving weird... Infact i lost the stock keyboard as well...
Love this keyboard, but it's not working on One X with Android 4.2 or on Nexus 5 with 4.4
Freakin awesome all the buttons are seperated better than the gingerbread and pre gingerbread keyboards even typing this comment was easier and faster
The auto-correct doesn't work in browsers and other certain input boxes... why??
But only 3 stars because it still isn't as good as a native ics keyboard AND it doesnt have long-press enter button emoticon support.
This keyboard is very good, I have a htc wildifire s and since it's small, it's keyboard isn't good, but when i installed this, it works very well.
Did not work on my phone
Unlike those wannabe keyboards this looks like the exact. Looks like you extracted the file and implemented it here. Thanks
I installed it 5 minutes ago and i am a fan already .Thank you developer. Will give 5 stars after using for few days. I am optimistically hopeful that it will perform.

In India Google keyboard did not work so I had to use a boring Samsung keybord and all other keyboard apps were way too large but this app is a small which uses our phone's inbuilt dictionary.
