Under Language & Keyboards I have a Swype option but I don’t see how to activate it. There is also HTC Sense input option that has a Trace keyboard option in it. That works but I thought they were two different applications. Did HTC just license Swype this time around?
Anyone?
The trace function acts similarly to swype but they are two different things.
I've used both but I find that the stock KB with trace activated works fine for me.

But the One ships with a Swype option but no way to turn it on or it just what the One uses.

My dev edition didn't include Swype but rather a trace option for the stock KB.

You can turn it on. Just go to any email / text and when the normal keyboard pops up, swipe down your notification on top and click on the Keyboard icon to change to Swype.
Quirky way of enabling it indeed

That did it. So odd that you can't turn it on under keyboards, maybe they did not want people to use it. Thanks.

I found a keyboard on the market called thumb keyboard and its awesome. Everyone should give it a try
Yep it's a great keyboard, I've been using it since day two. The right spacebar I have to make sure I press harder to get it to register otherwise its great with great support. They seem to update it often.
Will check it out.
It works great with the gtab the free version not so much but the pay version has a tablet layout that its awesome.

Looks great. Thank you.
Problem is that I can't get it to activate.
How did you get it to replace the stock kb?
In settings it won't check off after the warning box...??
I rebooted but the same results.
what rom are you running?
Runing 1.1 3389 the latest stock update.
Any suggestions or ideas?
Thanks
i believe you have to be running a custom rom to change keyboards on it. but do not hold me to that statement

You can do it in TnT but it takes a couple tricks. The TnT settings app won't let you enable the keyboard so you need to switch to the stock Android style settings app. Then enable the keyboard. Once done you need to put back your stock TnT settings app or you will have problems with other things.
Here is a link to the files required.

Thank you for the link.
I will read up on this as I would loveto get this going.
Just wanted to say I have been following this developers project since day one. I highly recommend this keyboard. He updates and fixes issues quickly. Worth the $1.33. I use it as the default on my tab. Check it out if you haven't.

In a text box long press. It will popup with input method. Then you should see it.
Be sure to activate it in Settings/Language & Keyboard/ by checking it. i had to do this before changing it in the input method.
Does anyone else notice that thumb keyboard gets stuck in All Caps with no way to get out unless you close/re-open the keyboard? Hitting the shift key after it is in All Caps does nothing.

I know I usually have to hit the caps key twice when wanting caps lock off. Just see if hitting it a couple times does the trick. Otherwise I've never really had a problem.

thumb keyboard
Can't find it on the market..any help?
what a difference...
I had doubts that a keyboard could make such a difference but I was clearly way off... great find...
Running stock OTA jellybean, (without device wipe) (rooted). Don't know when this happened, but my phone corrects my words automatically when I type using the physical keyboard. For instance, every time I type "lol" it auto-changes it to "AOL". I even went into the "Language & input" settings, and disabled the "auto-replace" setting under Physical Keyboard. Then rebooted the phone.
And it STILL autocorrects my typing! I dont mine it underlining misspelled words, but I certainly don't want it assuming what I type. That's the whole point of the physical keyboard. I want what I type.
Any suggestions here?
You made this change?

Even am facing the same issue!!!
On ICS, I had an option wherein the Auto-Correct used to work for the Onscreen typing whereas it used to leave it on me what am typing when using the Physical Keypad.
Disabling the Auto Correct, as the screenshot shows, will disable to Auto-Correct for OnScreen typing too, which I don't want! Can't I control Auto-Correct for each of them separately like I could on ICS??

I thought that too, but I did the option as in the screenshot, and my on screen keyboard still shows suggestions, buts doesn't auto correct. Try it, and see if that is what you need.
For me, I hate auto correct. Im ok with suggestions, but dont auto change things for me, so this fix is exactly what I needed.
This is an easy fix. I had the same issue. There are two steps.
Go into settings, Language & Input and uncheck auto-correct. (I assume you already did this.)
Next, in the Language & Input menu, scroll to Android Keyboard (AOSP) and click the gear icon. Scroll down and there is and option to disable Auto replace. Uncheck that.
Disabling both of those fixed it for me.

Thanks for making this thread. I just upgraded my ROM and had the exact same problem. It sucks that it removes the autocorrect for touchscreen typing too. The fact that these are no longer separate makes me sad. Death of QWERTY. I'm going to cry when I have to get a touchscreen only phone

I agree! Why in the world would you have 'physical keyboard' broken out with its own settings and then not actually respect those separate settings?! And otherwise why would you NOT have separate settings/parameters for separate keyboards on the phone? Like the OP says, this is the POINT of a physical keyboard; I want you to type WHAT I type, not what you THINK I should type.
Anyway... thanks, guys, for the info here.
What's your favourite keyboard app?
right now I'm using the default one..
Swift key 3
And the default one

Swiftkey (paid app)
Definitely SwiftKey.
With the function that scans your written sms, I'm often able to write messages right through the predictions

Deffo SwiftKey 4 with flow, it doesn't lag with the revolutionmod messaging app and the predictions are spot on. Also, flow works really well and it's really fast. I don't use flow alot but it's a nice feature to have to show off what Android can do when compared to iOS. I recommend SwiftKey, it's the number 1 paid app on Google Play for a reason: it's amazing.

Just bought SwiftKey and it worth the money lol. But that "select input" notification every single time I use the keyboard its annoying! And even the most is knowing that it won't go away because its a system thing. -__-''

Well, I've searched everywhere for any "solution" of this, and as far as I know it's system notification. In last versions we had to press on the input and then we selected which keyboard we wanted to use, in this version of Android supposedly its the way to change the keyboard we want. Yes its setted up as default keyboard. Swiftkey says its nothing with them, it's a Android System thing, so nothing to do.. lol

It's still really strange because I don't have this issue ? Maybe some of the other swiftkey users can chip in with their experiences ?

The same thing used to happen to me when I was using greenify, don't close the app with a task manager or anything else...keep it on ignore list. By the way, you should've tried the apk from the internet .
I'm typing this response on my phone and there is a keyboard notification in my notification bar. It does say select keyboard. Maybe the reason that it shows up in the notification bar is because you have a choice on what keyboard to choose.

Well, it depends on the Android version you're with. I'm with the original one without any ROM, so its the 4.0. If you're using any ROM with any different Android version, it might be because of that you wont get the notification...
I found this AOSP version which works EXACTLY like the installed Google Keyboard only it has those two items activated. I did not make any modifications to this, I found this on XDA here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2590902
I've been looking for something like this for a long time. Swiftkey has something similar but the way that program handles next word prediction over previous word correction drives me nuts. Google keyboard has recently removed the punctuation long press option which also drove me nuts.
This keyboard works perfectly on my 6P. I love having the dedicated number row, punctuation and not having the keyboard be a jacked up size like the PC option.
The one issue I had was if I went into settings for the keyboard one of the options in there force closed until I selected the keyboard as active and rebooted. Then I was able to access that settings option without force close. YMMV.
No issues other than that. I just wanted to spread the word. File attached, you can also grab it from the link above. Zip is flashable.
FYI...... @Shaftamle has had a themed Google keyboard thread for a long time and has many different keyboards just like this. I personally use the transparent one because I'm a fan of that style. Just in case you'd like other options
