Gyus a long time i didn't play with the SXL. But today i tried to install some keyboards and i find out that i can't turn them on. I tried settings etc. but there stays always the stock one.
Is there any way to change it or not?
Thanks

Well, i use swype from the original 2.2.2 FroYo stock ROM from Dell Streak, the first keyboard i ever used on Android and i still like it better than others, i install them in the normal way, go to settings, activate them, and after that, when you are in some writing, check the notifications, it should be a notification for keyboard, tap that notification and it will show you a menu to select your desired keyboard
Thanks man. I never did notice that notification. Also i was satisfied with my stock buttons . I wanted to try the new nexus 4 keyboard.

Hello
After update to ICS,I am missing one thing: Copy/paste ability in text edit fields.
On stock ROM's there was the arrow button(I think designed by Samsung) with options. In ICS,there is the button,unfortunately only one option is available "Paste". No Select,no copy at all. It allows me actually only to move the cursor in the text,nothing else.
Is there a way,how to get this working on ICS ROM?
like this? http://theunlockr.com/2011/04/12/android-101-how-to-copy-and-paste/

or something on Market?
Currently running on AlBa ZCLP6 Full ICS Repack v2
Thanks.

Look at the screen shot attached you will find 4 icons on the top right corner, they are :
Select all- Cut - Copy - Paste (from left to right)
You need to press on a word or a letter to see these icons, if you press on an empty space you'll only get Paste
Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately youre'nt right.
No more options.
Look at this...
Edit: I found a way to get the options:doubletap on a word. Unfortunately it doesn't works all the time,for example xScope Browser takes doubletap as confirm,so I cannot make selection. Is there any 3rd party alternative of this feature?

Seems like you're using a TouchWiz ROM and that maybe the difference, am running ICS Stunner and I get that menu 100% all the time by just long pressing on a word..
Sorry mate
Have you tried click once more to the arrow?
Yes,I did it. Nothing happens. Stock button displays the menu,this does nothing more.
double tap works for me....
new to ICS and i never knew they changed this stuff..lol

This has been making me nuts for a while now -thanks for the post -the double tap worked (albeit it's a bit touch & go) - it at least does the job part of the time. :good:
Thanks!
Hi all
Really loving my HTC One. I like the keyboard and dont want to change it, but it has one annoyance.
The keys on the keyboard popup when pressed and I cant find the option to turn this off. Does anything one if this can be turned off?
Thanks,
Adam
Just use a 3rd party keyboard cause AFAIK there's no way you can remove that unless you mod the keyboard apk. which requires root and a developer interested on what you want.
Hi
I have just installed avatar rom on my n7000
i have also nova launcher
I did for the first 24 not have any soft keys
but suddnely the soft keys appeared on my screen?
how can i get rid of them?
Go to settings, hybrid properties (paranoid preferences) then slide to the right and go to interface and in the navbar size, make it to 0% and you'll be rid of those soft keys. Hit thanks if this helps.

I can not find the settings you are talking about.
Hybrid Properties?
Can you attach a screen shot of what soft keys you wanna get rid of.

strange
i restarted the phone and now the keys are gone
i can not find a way to get them back (not that i want to)
http://prntscr.com/1axw02
these are the soft keys i am talking about.
i guess i am happy now, since it solved itselfe.
but i dont know how i got them to appear or disappear.
Yes those keys are the one's that we get with paranoid android based ROMs usually, they have been ported to the avatar ROM i guess. To disable them if they appear in future, look out for a setting related to navigation bar in the settings. Btw how's the stability and battery life of the ROM?

Thanks (i will push, not just say).
I have only had the ROM for a day and that day i have been home... So cant speak about stability and battery life.
I have ordered a new battery aswell. So hopefully with the new battery, new rooted phone and new ROM i will have a great phone
I am really tho looking for ROMs for Galaxy Note that is slim and makes it really fast and smooth.
That is the main goal why i rooted the phone. I hate that it lags and takes time to open simple apps like the borwser. Wait for it to load to be able to type an URL...
Hi!
I've been searching all over for this and couldn't find anything... I have a Samsung GT-PT1010 (forgotten device) which can't be upgraded to ICS and I'm not inclined to upgrade it to Gingerbread. However using imitation ICS settings app and the Go HD Launcher makes it pretty usable.
Only thing missing is the bottom-left corner Back, Home, Apps Running buttons! Does anyone know of such an app or maybe some mode of customization to imitate these buttons? The device in built buttons are simply inconvenient.
thanks for any pointers!!!

Hi there,
I have kinda the same problem with my P1010 but for a different reason. My capacitive navigation buttons have started to die, so I decided to use something called Button Saviour. You can customize it to look like the navigational soft keys on many different devices including the stock android and HTC style buttons. Hope this helps!
I will check this out, thank you!
Hey all,
My new m8 (AT&T, 4.4.2, rooted) is having some issues. After a restart, I went to type a text and got no keyboard popup or notification to select input. I assumed my Swype trial had expired, went and uninstalled the trial and tried to install the full version. On the second screen, it tells you to select the Swype + Dragon keyboard, but when I select it, nothing changes; it just goes back to the Swype app telling me to select the keyboard. I'm not even getting the stock Android keyboard anymore, and I can't bring up the input selection through anything other than the Swype app. (On a similar but potentially random side note, it also won't let me change my auto-rotate setting. If I enable it, it immediately disables itself when I change screens.) I downloaded SwiftKey and it gets stuck on the same screen, but when I select it, the keyboard will pop up in texts (it just has a notification that I need to finish installation.)
Just trying to avoid a fresh install...
EDIT: if I select the stock keyboard, I can also get that working (the notification to change input also comes back), so it's now just Swype.

May i suggest you to try Swiftkey instead of Swype? Swiftkey is a great keyboard, it does also have the "swype" feature and recently, full version of Swiftkey became free compared to Swype which cost around 5$ and it was also recently updated to support emoji.
Btw you have posted in the M7 forum, forum for the M8 is here
