I recently flash from cognition to firefly. It is a great rom. I just don't like the flat keyboard or how you delete apps. How do I fine a new keyboard and change these things I don't like. Could someone talk me through it?

find a keyboard you like in the market, and in setting ->locale, set it to the default.
Hello, I'm new at XDA and happy with you.
I have a problem with OB when I write SMS: I touch only one times, but it understands that I touch 2 times, so, "apple" begins to "aapplee".
Actually it doesn't do this on other applications for example Opera Mini Browser. The problem occurs only on SMS programs including GoSMS and normal Android SMS apps.
Version: 10c and I made it root ( I didn't install any custom ROM).
Do you have an idea abut it?
The keyboard maybe?
Have you try another keyboard apps?
Smartkeyboard for example

I tried also to use other ones, not working to solve this problem.

Is the keyboard app you use have any calibration option?
Try to calibrate the keyboard if it can

Given 4.1.1 is probably going to be the very last update for AT&T Atrix HD users (Bell guys are lucky with the 4.1.2!), what are we gonna do about this bug? Are we stuck with this problem for good?
In 4.1.1 whenever you switch your default keyboard to any other keyboard (say, SwiftKey or even Swype), the third party keyboard gets disabled on reboot and the OS will switch to the default/stock keyboard. This is not the end of problems.
There is the annoying status bar notification for changing input methods every time the keyboard opens. The only way to disable this from popping up is to have only one active input method. Given the stock keyboard cannot be unchecked in settings, the only way to have only one keyboard that you want (say, SwiftKey for example) is to freeze/disable the stock keyboard app leaving SwiftKey as the only available input method.
Normally, this would work fine. But in 4.1.1, because the OS disables the third party keyboard and tries to reset back to the default keyboard on reboot, when it can't find it, goes into a crash loop leaving factory reset from the recovery as the only option of making the phone usable.
Does anyone have any suggestions to solve this particular conundrum?
Here is the solution I have found:
-install swiftkey from market
-use titanium backup root to backup the app
-uninstall the app
-restore backup (app only)
However, this is only a workaround and every time SwiftKey app or language updates, the OS disables SwiftKey on reboot and defaults to the stock keyboard. So, don't disable the stock keyboard for now unless you want to risk a factory reset every time SwiftKey app or data updates through the market. This workaround also doesn't address the problem of having the annoying input devices prompt in the status bar every time you use the keyboard.
More ingenious ideas / suggestions welcome.

I have 4.1.1 and use swype as my keyboard. It has never once switched back to the default keyboard on a reboot. I have not having this issue at all.
I have 4.1.1 on my Atrix HD and I use SwiftKey 3. Never had this problem.

I don't have this issue, and I switch keyboards depending on the number of hands I'm using! Another friend with an Atrix HD also does not face this issue...

I just rebooted and SwiftKey 3 is still my default keyboard. I guess I am just lucky.

Did you install SwiftKey 3 from the Play Store before you upgraded from ICS to JB OTA? If yes, that is expected.
But if you installed the app afresh in JB or updated the app or language after you had upgraded to JB, you would have this problem.
Swiftkey Flow, Swype, Swype Beta 1.3, Smart Keyboard Pro...everything works fine without having the issue you're facing!

Like mentioned on the link above, a lot of people are facing. Did you install them all afresh in 4.1.1?
Try uninstalling all of them from the Play Store today, reinstall them again from the Play Store and see if it still works.

That might explain it! I installed SwiftKey as soon as I could when I got the phone!

When I reboot, not only do I lose my SwiftKey 3 keyboard, but my phone removes any active widgets I have on any of myscreens. AT&T sent me out another HD, andit still happens?!?!

This is a confirmed issue for all paid apps in 4.1.1.
Google has, however, corrected it in 4.1.2.
Only fix is to run a custom rom.

In settings > languages and keyboards, do you have something else than Google Voice Typing?
If so, make sure it is checked
If not, did you remove something in aroma during install ?

I have had this keyboard problem for as long as I can remember. Lived with it for a while but it is driving me nuts and I need to fix it.
The default input method always reverts to the stock keyboard. I much prefer SwiftKey but cannot get it to remain as the default after selecting it.
After setting SwiftKey as the default it works for a few minutes while I test typing in a couple apps. Then I will need to type something and the stock keyboard had gone back to being the default.
I am rooted stock only and don't see any apps that have been disabled that look to be the culprit.
Any ideas would be appreciated. I cannot live with the stock keyboard any longer.
Help please!
Have you tried freezing it? I've totally uninstalled the stock keyboard, no issues.

I could not disable it but that's a great idea. I just used root explorer to rename the apk and it seems to work great.
Thank you very much. I should have thought of that.
