Tap and hold where you can type (Ie, Google Search or Text) and change the "Input Method" to the Gingerbread keyboard.

Is there a way to use the better keyboard on the nexus? i installed it but still uses the default one
Yes, open the keyboard and hold the 123 keys till input method wording show. Then you can choose better keyboard as the default.
I installed Smart Keyboard Pro. To use I had to enable it in Settings > Language & Keyboard.
But I can only use it in html forms by long pressing a form field, selecting "input method" and than choosing it. The whole process makes smart keyboard pretty much useless...
Please, let me know If you can successfully enable better keyboard and overcome this problem somehow...
Regards,
Thiago Souza

Make sure you go to your keyboard option in the settings menu, make sure Smart Keyboard Pro is checked, then go to the keyboard hold down 123 and select it

Thank you it works great
I currently have Vlingo, Simeji and stock android keyboard inputs.
I frequently switch between Vlingo and Simeji for Japanese input, but now whenever I long press the "123" button to bring up the change input method option, selecting "input method" to switch between input methods does nothing. I'm able to go to "Vlingo Keyboard Settings", but not change the input method.
Disabled Vlingo keyboard, same problem on stock keyboard and now I'm stuck with it.
Do you mean, when you long press "123" and choose "Input method",nothing shows up?
I recently had this problem, so I used another way to switch between IMEs. Instead of using keyboard button to switch IME, long press on a text box and choose "Input method".

Yeah exactly what you said.
The alternative method works too.. Just wondering what's causing the problem.
I noticed this problem since I started using Titanium backup to restore all apps... I used to do clean install of all applications but I found that very cumbersome.
Hello Guys,
I have rooted my NC. Everything is working as expected. Now I want to put some app icons on Home but I can't find how to do that.
Also the Keyboard setting is not working. If I go to Settings > Keyboard the NC go back to the prevous screen. I need to stop the auto-correct or change the language for autocorrect.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Regards,
Jorge

You'll need a 3rd party launcher to put icons on your homescreen (launcher pro,adw, zeam...).
The keyboard setting isn't working because rooting switched it to a new keyboard. It should work fine when you open a text field. There are threads on here about installing a variety of different keyboards.
Thanks wvcachi, I have installed another launcher and now I'm able to organize the home screen. Now I need to solve the issue with the keyboard. The keyboard is working well, the problem is the auto-correct, the is changing my words when I write in another language (spanish).
Can I just stop the auto correct?
Can I revert to the original Keyboard on NC?
Thanks for your help.
I have the same problem, I need to change the language of the keyboard, but I cannot get into the settings. I've tried different keboards, but with none I can change the particular settings nor language.
Hello, I got the fix downloading and installing a GBKB.APK from another sub-forum here (not nook subforum, I think android Dev subforum) after install that I'm able to select and use the gingerbread keyboard. Now in gb kb there is setting button where you can add another languages.
I hope this work for you.
Regards
The language of auto-correct is tied to the keyboard. Autonooting gives you the Droid X keyboard with American English autocorrection.
You can install a Chinese IME, Spanish keyboard, AZERTY with French auto-correct, or whatever else you desire. As the previous poster mentioned, there is a modified Gingerbread keyboard for 2.1 that includes Spanish dictionary. You can search for it in the Nook Color forums (the keyboard is from another forum, but there are directions for NC here). It's a very long thread, but the directions in the OP should work.
You can install Smart Keyboard or SwiftKey from the market (and moving the app to the System/app directory), and then, from the keyboard, enter to the specific settings.
In Smart Keyboard you have to long press the ABC or 123 key to enter settings, and in SwiftKey you have to long press the mic key. There you can change the language or disable autocorrect.
Additionally, if you want, you can change the language of the nook color (so that all programs menus and dates and stuff appear in spanish) using morelocale2 from the market.
This version of Swype is not the latest, but it works with the default HTC msg app. The latest beta does not capitalize or add spaces between words. This one adds spaces when you enter the NEXT word in the sentence. It's odd, but at least it works.
Download the apk, use Root Explorer or another file manager to install. Go to settings / language & keyboard, and enable Swype. Then go to any text input field (browser, msg app) and longpress the input field. When you lift your finger, "Input method" popup box appears. Touch the box and select Swype. Go back to settings / language & keyboard to change Swype settings as desired.
Thanks for the info. For me, Swype doesn't add a space between words. I've reinstalled and tried everything and it still doesn't work.
I'll download and try your fix.
Hi,
I couldn't find solution for my problem so I made that thread.
I'm freaking out when I reboot my phone, wanna send message or something and ******* android default keyboard comes up. I must go back, go to the settings, laungage & keyboard and, set swype as default and then change input method. Can I replace system keyboard app with SWYPE? If yes then how?
Delete LatinIME.apk from /system/app
Amazing, it worked! Thanks. Problem solved.
No problem, you could delete Userdictionaryprovider too since its only used for the stock keyboard.
[Q] How to make transparent status bar?
made post not thread, sorry -.-
Now I am using KM Launcher (swype in portrait and smart keyboard pro in landscape mode) and again I must check everytime this keyboard in settings after reboot. What should I do?

This has been driving me mad too, but this worked a treat - thanks...
Swype as default keyboard
Simply ensure that swype is not installed to SD card.
Then, go to settings and set Swpe as default keyboard
When using keyboard, for the 1st time after this,
Long press TAB and again select Swype.
That is it
