I have SwiftKey and Emoji keyboard installed on my One which is running Venom 2.1. All keyboards are enabled in Settings, therefore I SHOULD be getting the keyboard icon in the notification bar to select my input method, but I'm not. I have no way of changing the keyboard outside of using a third party app and I have an issue with buying an app to provide me with something that's already available but not working properly.
Only enable the ONE keyboard you intend using in settings

I tried this out today. Its claim is to "[d]isable apps and remove them from the launcher, without uninstalling them. Stow away apps you rarely use, or hide built-in apps you never use.." Also good for T-Mo US Rom root users to hide that useless Amazon MP3s app.
I tested it out by hiding (the app uses the term 'stowing') a Better Keyboard Skin shortcut, a widget shortcut and normal application.
The App Vault app does have an issue with requesting root permission, it requires it for stowing/unstowing each app (and multiple times for each app) it adjusts instead of having a global permission. Think of it as Vista's UAC for Android, compared to Windows 7's.
Stowing a Better Keyboard skin shortcut does not change any of your Better Keyboard settings. If you had that skin selected, it is still in use. However, you cannot reselect that skin in the app's skin manager anymore. The shortcut was successfully hidden from the launcher.
Stowing a Widget shortcut (I used Battery Status) was less successful than the Better Keyboard Skin. The widget remained on the home screen, but it no longer updated. I could also add the widget to my home screen still, so I did, but it remained at 0%, unable to update to the real percentage. The shortcut was successfully hidden from the launcher, however.
Stowing a normal application (I used the Babbler Facebook app) worked the same as uninstalling the app. Its home screen shortcut turned into the default APK icon and was unable to launch. It's widget remained on the selection screen for widgets, but like the Battery Status widget, it would not update. And like the others, the shortcut was hidden from the launcher.
Overall, it seems the vault is useful when hiding applications you don't use (especially stock apps), but not widgets or commonly used applications. As the Better Keyboard Skin was the only app that was successful in stowing and still being usable, and caused the least upset to me, I think I'll refund the application.
I hope someone can find a better use for it than I can.

hmm i wonder if i put something like set cpu or autostarts or something that you only configure once and then dont touch if the configurations will stay .. going to try it out
Why wouldn't you just use the modified launcher, you have root already, CM has it as default along with some others.
Caution when using this application.
DO NOT HIDE THE USER PERMISSIONS APPLICATION
if you do this, the app WILL become unusable and you will not be able to access root permissions in any way. the app should really be disabled from being hidden from the get go just to be on the safe side
Is this only possible with the keyboard extended?

On the homescreen,yes. However any apps that support landscape mode do not need the keyboard out.
I discovered if you use a third-party launcher (LP, myself), the setting for autorotate in the launcher preferences allows homescreen rotation. I'm rotating now...
I've found an app that forces rotation on individual apps. Its called Smart Rotator and it is amazing!

Is there a method by which I can auto-rotate the lock screen and/or dialer? I'm running Liberty3 2.0 and ADWLauncher.
Have you gone settings > display > auto-rotation? They should auto-rotate when the keyboard is open, but this will allow (for sure) the dialer to rotate once unlocked. I'm not sure if your lockscreen will even with it checked.
I have it set but when the KB is closed the dialer and lock screen don't rotate. I have a regular holder in my car, not a dock, and its pretty annoying when I call from my headset and the dialer comes up sideways :-/
There is a hack that allows you to do this. It hink there called power widgets or something. Also many of the custom roms have this

Hi, I updated my note 9 to android 10. When I go to settings/display/navigation bar/screen gestures there is option over the "more options". I can't use this feature. I can't open it. Does anyone have the some issue?
What launcher are you using? Unless it is Samsung own it will not be enabled. Until Google resolves it
Using the default OneUI 2
If u are using samsung default one ui launcher, you should able to use this gesture navigation... unless you use 3rd party launcher.
Maybe Try selecting "navigation buttons" and see if the other options under gestures become available?
