[Q] Launch app when rebooting

I have a third party keyboard, but after reboot android reverts to the default keyboard. Therefore before I can change input type from a message, I have to launch the keyboard app from my app launcher, select that keyboard under settings, then finally under input type it will let me select the third party keyboard. Is it possible to tell an app to run automatically after reboot so that I can switch keyboards automatically from the messaging app without having to launch it after every reboot, or even more pleasing would be for it to be the default keyboard. I'm running aosp 2.3.3 20110307. Thanks in advance!

What third party.keyboard are you referring to?

Is the keyboard app on your sd card. Could be the issue if it's being used via apps2sd.

I'm using shiftkey, and it is on the sd card. how can I move it to the internal storage?

In your application settings, it should show an option to move it to your internal storage area. But if you're using App2SD, I don't know if it'll allow you or not. I stop messing with that once I got Firerat down. Check it out if you have the time; it's well worth the trouble.

[Q] [Q/request] keyboard

I'm using evenbetter keyboard now. My problem is that every time I reboot my phone, I always have to have re-activate it so I can use it. I want to flash it, but its an apk. Anyone knows how to do this?
I also like the stock keyboard, T9 style. but the buttons are too small. I want to modify it but I don't know how to, if there are tutorials out there about programming for android, I'll gladly study it. the stock keyboard also has a bug: when you are on symbols mode, then you swipe down to browse and you reached the bottom this way, the keyboard gets stuck. you won't be able to press any symbols then. I also want to address this.
thanks=)

If it is on your Sd card you need to activate it every boot.
And if you want to have it like a system app use apps2rom from Google Play

Default keyboard not staying set

I have both Swift and Slideit keyboards and have managed to set the slideit keyboard as the default keyboard, however whenever I turn the phone off and back on or sometimes not even that, the keyboard defaults back to the Sense keyboard. This is the first sense keyboard that I really do NOT Like at all but cannot get rid of. Is there anyone else that is having the same issue?

For some reason there was an Indic keyboard on mine. All kinds of strange symbols on the keys. And for some reason it kept turning it on. I finally disabled it in Apps which seems to have fixed the problem and my Swiftkey keboard is staying as default

I had the same issue with Swype. Fixed it by making it a system app.

Same issue in hox and hos with Jelly...
But you can resolve with a freeze of HTC_IME.apk...
In hox rom works fine
Try

Default keyboard always resets to stock.

I have had this keyboard problem for as long as I can remember. Lived with it for a while but it is driving me nuts and I need to fix it.
The default input method always reverts to the stock keyboard. I much prefer SwiftKey but cannot get it to remain as the default after selecting it.
After setting SwiftKey as the default it works for a few minutes while I test typing in a couple apps. Then I will need to type something and the stock keyboard had gone back to being the default.
I am rooted stock only and don't see any apps that have been disabled that look to be the culprit.
Any ideas would be appreciated. I cannot live with the stock keyboard any longer.
Help please!

Have you tried freezing it? I've totally uninstalled the stock keyboard, no issues.

I could not disable it but that's a great idea. I just used root explorer to rename the apk and it seems to work great.
Thank you very much. I should have thought of that.

[Q] How to set Swype as default

Ok I have changed in settings keyboard and language to swype but it keeps reverting back to the google keyboard I prefer Swype but cannot get it to stick any one have any suggestions??

Go into a text input field in any app so that the keyboard comes up. Next, swipe down the notification bar and in the list you should have an item that says "choose input method". Tap on that and change your keyboard. See if that sticks.

Go into the settings for Language and Input.
There's an area to specify which of your keyboards should be the default one.
Select Swype there and you're golden.

Thanks guys it still reverts back though

I use an app called SwiftKey which seems quite a bit more accurate compared to Google Swype and it does your dictionary in the cloud if you ever change phones.

Go to settings apps disable stock kb

No problem. i had the same issue. was very annoying. anytime swiftkey would update, the stock keyboard would take over.
