is there anyway to remove the soft (on screen) keyboard and use the stock one with Gingerbread/Froyo?
this moto/integrated swype thing kinda sucks
maybe it's because i've become so used to the suggestions/auto complete from my D1 but i really just want the basic android version
I can't verify this right now on my Droid 4 (cuz I bricked it ), but you should be able to press-and-hold the Swype menu button (the long S with the hand icon, the softbutton on the bottom left corner) and get to a menu which features a "Select Input Method" item. Use that menu and select "Android keyboard" and Bob should be your uncle.
I believe you can change the input method (keyboard) by long-pressing in any text entry box.
Thanks guys, I assumed this was a 'moto tweak' and didn't realize it was that easy to switch back.

Is there a way to deactivate poping up of the touch keyboard? Everytime when I am in an input field the touch keyboard pops up. But if I really want to enter something I want to use the QWERTY hardware keyboard. So is there a way to deactivate that the touch keyboard always pops up?
3 new threads out of 5 total posts... some would look down upon that. Since a simple search by me for your problem did not yield any direct answers, here's your freebie. Welcome to XDA!
When you go to a text box in landscape mode and the onscreen keyboard pops up, tap the space bar on the hardware keyboard. That will tell the phone not to pop up the onscreen keyboard again until you tap the icon for it.
No, I mean not when I have my hardware keyboard folded out. I mean when it is folded that the touchscreen keyboard doesnt show up.

OK, let's try this again... so is this your situation?
You are using the phone in portrait mode with the hardware keyboard closed. When you click into a text box, the onscreen keyboard pops us. But you do not want the keyboard to pop up. You want to be able to click into text fields with the phone closed, but not have the onscreen keyboard pop up.
Did I summarize that correctly? If so, I'm working on the answer, give me a little bit.
--Edit--
I just tried the following steps:
Slide the phone open
Open PIE and go to Google
Tap into the text box; the onscreen keyboard did not come up
Tap the icon for the onscreen keyboard; it came up
Tap away from the text box; keyboard went away
Tap into the text box; keyboard came back
Tap Space on hardware keyboard; onscreen went away
Tap away from the text box
Slide the phone closed
Tap into the text box; onscreen keyboard did not come back
Follow my steps just to see if that is your solution. If not, it could quite possibly be ROM dependent.
Your summary is correct.
Here is what happens at my Kaiser:
When I am on google the onscreen keyboard is there. Everything else works fine but I dont like that the onscreen keyboard comes everytime I am in a textbox.
I am using the ROM from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=403214
Try the steps I listed above. Also, if you tap a second time in the text box, the keyboard will close, but pop back up if you go to another box.
The problem is that if I open PIE and got to google the onscreen keyboard will pop up without doing anything and I want to get rid of this "feature".
hi how is everyoone? hope you are well. I was wondering if anyonoe has been able to obtain the keyboard layout that comes wtih the touch for the kaiser? My friend has a verizon vogue and the keyboard options are amazing. it has a transcriber thatr recognizes free hand writing and also a block recognizer likt the palms had back in the day. any help would be appreciated. sometimes i wanna just use the stylus to make a quick note in Word, but dont have that option
check the input method. you should be able to change it to the other options. transcriber and block recognizer have been around for a while and aren't anything new.
If you open up a program that is expecting input from the user, it should at least display the little keyboard 'button' at the bottom middle section of the screen (unless you have the physical keyboard open). On the right side of that keyboard 'button' is a triangle. Click the triangle and you'll have other input options such as transcriber.

The HTC_IME keyboard thing or whatever its called lol...can u make it so that it doesnt do auto predict when you use the g1's slide out keyboard? It's really annoying and slows up the phone. Ive looked in the setting and nothing works.. can someone help please?
Open the soft keyboard, look in the bottom left corner. There should be a cog-looking thing next to the comma key. Pressing this will take you into a settings screen. Tap "Text Input" and there you are.
Hope I helped.
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.
