I installed the RenovateRom, which is really great. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2202696
But since they Removed the "select input method" notification. I dont know how to change the keyboard, i wanna use the original jellybean keyboard.
can anyone help me how to change the keyboard ?
thanks in advance.
What about if you just go into settings, language and input or something like that, then keyboard. Select keyboard and I would think you would be good.
On most keyboards, if you hold down on one of the buttons such as "spacebar" or "123" or one of ones on the bottom row, it will give you pop up a box to select your keyboard. On the stock JB keyboard, you hold the space bar to get the pop up.
hi,
i tried both. no way to change the keyboard on HTC ONE with your hints.
very strange.
someone any other idea ?
You can download something called "input select method" from the play store. I love the renovate roms but can never understand why they remove the input method selector.
Anyhow, hope that helps.

My Droid 1 has a direction pad on the slide out keyboard which makes it nice for moving the cursor when entering in text instead of using your finger.
Does anyone know of a keyboard that can be installed that has a directional pad included? I got fat fingers and moving the cursor is hard enough lol. I'm running a few releases behind the newest Vegan build (just haven't backed up everything yet).
Thanks!

(just realized this might want to be moved to the general section, not themes and apps.... sorry)
Smart keyboard use cursor keys.
Smart keyboard pro
Anyone actually managed to use them
I installed smart keyboard and Ultra keyboard but even when enabled the don't replace the existing keyboard. ( Vegan5.1 )
Using it now with tnt lite 3.1.2
Install with mod as discussed in other threads
Thumb keyboard is great for this tablet. Has cursor keys, and is easy to use. Can setup the layout for different size devices too.
Thanks for confirmation, I'll look for it

Do you actually know how to enable the keyboard? You have to select the checkmark in settings to let your tablet know it is available but to actually use the keyboard... You open something with a text box and then long press in the box. A popup should come up with input method as a selection. Tap that and all your keyboards will be there to pick from.
I only say this because I don't think you were doing the input method, change the keyboard thing...
Yes, I have them enabled the but I don't get the pop up to sellect the keyboard when I want to type. ( Working fine on my Desire phone)
Update, stupid me - long press in the text box
I am using thumb keyboard also and it has a great directional pad and seems to have great support. But either its the touch screen of the gtab or thumb keyboard cuz there is some serious issue of "lag" or lack of response. I am actually blaming the grab touch screen cuz I find it unresponsive in other places at times.

There was a thread awhile ago about touchscreen sensitivity, and a calibration apparently at boot. Search for 'calibration.ini'. It fixed the problem for lots of people.

I have found the directional keys on occasion to be a little slow myself. If you want to do the calibration of the screen just create a empty text file named calibration.ini and place it in the internal sdcard. I have one on the external also because I can never remember where it looks for it. Then reboot you tablet without touching the screen and it will do it's thing. You won't see it do anything, but it seems to work.
thumb keyboard
i also use thumb keyboard. goto handango to purchase it. less than 2 bux and its the best keyboard for gtab
ill have to give these a try out! Thanks!
Looks like the latest version of SwiftKey has added in a Tablet specific keyboard with arrow keys when in landscape...

Saw the video of it, looks great. Searched for it but can't find that version yet. Hope it will show up as an update soon.
OK, what am I doing wrong...
I installed several different keyboards (the free versions until I know they work for me) and I can not get any of them to be selected. I go into the settings and I see them listed and no matter how many times I press the checkbox they will not select. If I go into the settings for any of these new keayboards I get a force close.
Running TNT Lite 4.10 now. Same thing was happening on older versions.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

That is a known issue with TnT. There settings menu doesn't let you select keyboards. I don't use TnT anymore but there is a way to change the settings app to the normal Android type, select the keyboard, and then there is a way to go back to the TnT settings menu and they stick. Pain in the A.. You can't just change the settings menu and leave it because it hoses up other things. There are a couple other ways I think people do it but you just need to search for "alternate keyboards" or something like that.
I personally can't stand anything TnT and run vegaN.
I get a force close when using either Smart Keyboard Pro or Thumb Keyboard. Force closes only began after repartitioning .....any ideas?? I was successfully running Smart Keyboard Pro before repartition.
Hey guys,
I bought my LG Optimus Black today and installed Zeus ROM
There's no Arabic keybaord and when I install some from the market they don't appear in Settings.
Any help?
Thnx in advance
You ll have to enable them, some need to be enabled in: settings --> Language and keyboard (checkbox), then go to SMS app or any other text app, go to new message, click the text area, hold your finger there, a new window opens, click input method, choose the new keyboard you installed and be happy ever after
The problem is that they don't appear in Language and Keyboard
And here?
then go to SMS app or any other text app, go to new message, click the text area, hold your finger there, a new window opens, click input method, choose the new keyboard you installed and be happy ever after

Just tell me which keyboard you want to use, then I'll try it at my phone and give you a short how to I mean which one specifically.

It seems like there was a problem in the keyboard, installed another one and it works now !
Thanks for your help
Hey guys I looked around and couldn't figure it out. In the stock ( not rooted) SMS application I no longer have a valid dictionary. Every word seems to be missing. Even simple words like this, the, it, etc etc. Any clue how to fix this or where to look?

Have you looked in your language and keyboard settings? I'm not sure if the stock and market keyboards share the same dictonary, go download the ics keyboard from market. Choose it in your language and keyboard settings. Then do a long press in your internet search bar and click input, then chose ics keyboard. Not sure if it'll work, but with a try.
You didn't accidentally change the language did you? Still says EN to the left of your comma key?

There are other available keyboards that are more like stock. Look for smart keyboard. At least I think that's the name of it.

You, sir are a genius. I feel retarded... Yea I thought I was Espanol apparently...
Haha the exact same thing happened to me so don't feel too dumb
i have been using my htc one for a couple of days now and am finding real issues with the keyboard and the auto correct feature. I know its not that i am miss clicking the wrong letter etc but find that simple things like 'i' gets changed to something like UN? and the word for allways gets corrected to 'fir'
these are just a couple that spring to mind but it seems like some of the very simple words are getting changed to something really odd, anyone one else finding this or know how to solve it. I know with some words it will learn them and then save them for next time but this is just crazy that the simple words it gets wrong...very annoying
AW: [Q] Htc One - keyboard help needed
Possibly the language hasn't been Set correctly? I have similar issues if I forget to adjust the setting when switching between languages.

hmm, pretty sure that when i first started to use the keyboard it came up with a list of languages that were all ticked and i 'unticked' all of them but english.
How would i check i have it right though?

+1 - swiftkey is simply the best android keyboard imo
but yea what they are saying is also probably right.
disable every language apart from english, and make sure the language key shows "EN"
Make sure the language for the keyboard hasn't been changed (this is separate from picking your language during set up of the phone).
On the HOX you go to settings --> language and keyboard --> HTC Sense Input (keyboard options) --> language
Should be similar on the One.

Has anyone noticed that since HTC removed and replaced the phone pad and XT9 when you go to choose one single letter when typing then go to choose another single letter, it automatically adds a space in between the letters now?
Example: e y
I can't find a setting for auto spacing anywhere either. Do you think it's an error in the way they took it out then replaced it? I've never had this issue before the update.
I'm including an annotated screenshot of this page to help explain a little better what I mean.

Hey man, I am having the exact same issue as you... It's fine for people who use QWERTY keyboard as you select each individual letter yourself... Where as when you use the phone keypad you have to select them with the prediction, of course it then thinks you've entered a word and adds the space... If anyone knows a fix for this that'd be great!! I am even willing to try and edit the HTC_IME if someone can tell me where this setting might be stored.
I am also running into HTCs famous dictionary losing words like "am" "go" "in" etc... Yes it took me a hell of a long time to type this message on my phone...
