Bluetooth (Null) Keyboard
Hi my fellow XDA-Members,
i would like to tell you about my little app.
I'm happy about any feedback and open for suggestions.
Nullkeyboard/0Keyboard or empty Keyboard (what ever you want to call it) adds an extra keyboard to your device, which will not show when selecting text fields.
It is intended to be used with hardware keyboards (i.e. bluetooth keyboards), to stop the software keyboard from opening and taking away half of the screen.
Additionally it improves system performance as it frees up resources that would normaly be used by a software keyboard (layout, dictionarys etc.).
This app is handy for people who regularly use an extra keyboard with their android tablet. While they cannot uninstall the system keyboards, they can unload them from system memory by choosing Null Keyboard as current keyboard.
A widget is included to allow easy switching between Null Keyboard and others.
This is not a driver and will not make your bluetooth keyboard work and neither will it break anything. Don't complain that it doesnt make your bluetooth keyboard work, because that is not its purpose.
MARKET LINK
Downloaded and installedthis app but can't find the widget. The app is running according to the CM7 app manager.

Okay never mind problem solved! Great app!
Why didn't you call it software keyboard disabler or something like that? Thats essentially what it does

The idea came from a similar windows mobile application which was called "Null keyboard".
Still SAMSUNG KEYBOARD appears!!!
I bought this app from the market.
SAMSUNG KEYBOARD still appears once after that it disappears.
Is it possible disable this also?

I'm not sure what you mean?
What device and ROM are you using?
On-screen keyboard
I'm on GALAXY TAB 10.1 + OVERCOME ROM + DROIDBASEMENT Kernel.
First time it onscreen keyboard appears and then it disappears.
Is it possible to disable PERMANENTLY ON-SCREEN KEYBOARD?

Sorry, but i still don't understand it.
If you turn null keyboard ON, the onscreen keyboard should never show.
I have no indication that this no longer works.
See the enclosed screen shots.
It happens very FIRST TIME I start using the BLUETOOTH KEYBOARD.
And RESETS to SAMSUNG KEYPAD.
Hm, are you sure you selected Nullkeyboard as the active keyboard before?
I don't think i can prevent the system from switching keyboards, the question is rather why it is switching them.
Dark3n,
This issue happens on my Galaxy Tab. I've installed SwiftKey X ('cause, as a Brazilian, that was the only way I found to add accents to my words), but every time I turn on the BT Keyboard, the system itself switches Samsung Keypad on.
When that happens, you can long-press the writing area and set your favorite keyboard on, and you won't have to do that again till the keyb is turned off and on again.
Probably, what pathuri97 wanted was a way to block Samsung Keyboard to turn itself on.
Oh, and by the way: does your app work w/ accents or other languages?
Blocking the Samsung Keyboard from turning on is probably not possible, without removing or completely deactivating it.
I currently don't have a bluetooth keyboard, so i can't test how it reacts to different languages, sorry.
Can you recommend one ?
Mine is a great one. As I still can't post links, look for "Leather Bluetooth Keyboard Case Cover for Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" P1000 New" on Google - it's the first hit.
Works great, and is a great armor for the GTab - makes it look more stylish as well
This alternative works really well. I had it for my previous 7" tablet but when I got the xoom it was no longer available. They now support the xoom and I've reinstalled it. Is from the makers of Dragon Naturally Speaking. It costs 4.95 but includes 4 input methods: swipe, voice input, writing (but not cursive) and typing.
I really like it when I have to take notes. It's pretty quick and is pretty good in swipe mode with adding the correct punctuation, though until you train it, it comes up with some pretty humorous (or irritating) guesses. Voice recognition is really quite good. For regular typing its fine but I prefer the Tablet keyboard (as it is just like a pc keyboard).
Consider checking this one out.

x2. i've been using this for the past 2 months or so. love the layout keyboard (looks like the galaxy tab keyboard) and the swiping capability. only gripe is that it seems to drain battery? are you experiencing the same issue?

I haven't been using it long enough to tell yet.
I'd like to be offered an option to use either flexT9 or the Tablet keyboard every time i start to type but I haven't been able to set that up. Do you know how?

yeah. go to settings--language and input---keyboard settings-input settings-select "always show"
this is off the top off my head as i don't have the xoom with me at the moment. i believe that's what you do to have the keyboard icon show up in the notification bar whenever you start typing. u can hit that icon and an option to what keyboard you want to use will pop up. remember to check the boxes all the keyboards you want to use in the settings menu before you proceed or else the flext9 will not show up as an optional keyboard.
Any way to get stock ICS keyboard on an att vivid rom? The stuff in the market is sketchy
as of right now there isn't any way, however thumb keyboard is a fantastic substitute to the htc keyboard, or even perfect or swift key.
however thumb has been my favorite
Play Store shortcut:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beansoft.keyboardplus&hl=en
I'm not trying to push a product its just that I've tried many different keyboards and this one has the most customization.
-RoGeRs
Im using Go Keyboard right now since its the most popular.
Hacker Keyboard is my favorite. It's very accurate, adjustable size, and loads of features.
Cool. Thanks. Let's hope we get stock ICS keyboard on this.

There is an "ICS Keyboard" in the market, both a free and paid version. Its actually one of my favorite keyboards simply because it's so responsive on my rather low end device. I switch around though, I keep Go Keyboard and Hacker's Keyboard for when I feel like switching things up.
I've used a LOT of keyboards on the market :-/

perfectly good ICS keyboards in market...i've been using the same one for 3 weeks.ICS Keyboard by Binary Bulge. the free one...
Installation Process
Question: is the installation process similar at all to the way you did it in the past? First install the keyboard, then go turn the keyboard on in settings, then go to a text input field and long-press and get settings, choose the newly installed keyboard? This is not working for me, I can install, and enable the keyboard, but I cannot find any way to switch my input method!
If you know the answer I'll thank your response
But seriously, thanks

Hi everyone,
Is there a way (already) to have all apps in multi window like it was possible on the Note 3 with the mini window. I love the way they did the re-sizing of the windows on the Note 4 and would like to know if there is a way to re-size all the apps on the phone and not just the Samsung default ones.
Thanks for your help.
Yes there is my friend. Download the following apk from the play store. If you are rooted enable multi-window in exposed framework modules. Key me know if you have any problems or need further assistance with this.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bjbinc.mwmphone
Thank you so much you rock
I tried this before but I guess I was too early and the app hadn't been updated for the Note 4
No problem. Glad i could assist you all.
Hi all,
For some reason some notifications are not visible on the statusbar.
They can be seen on the Always On display, and if you pull down the statusbar the notifications are visible there, but not on the statusbar itself as an icon.
I noticed that you can configure each app individually to either show or not, but in my case they all are configured to show the icon.
Might this be a bug? Has anyone else this same issue?
Edit: I just found the cause. Some apps have 'categories' in the 'Manage notifications' submenu. You have to click on these categories and in that submenu you have the option 'Display on statusbar'! No idea why some where set to OFF.
Hi,
I found an a french youtuber who had the same issus.
I think it need to be solved by an update.
I have another question for you, i have mine X3 pro but i need to wait til my birthday at the end of April before i can used it ....

Thanks

Coming from an S10+ (just like you) you will notice an incredible speed difference. I always believed the S10 was fast (enough). But the Oppo is on a whole new level.
Charging speeds are insane, but that probably is because I have been anti-spoiled by Samsung for so long
It's also worthy to mention that the device doesn't heat up while charging, so it's much more comfortable to hold.
The Oppo is 20 grams or so heavier, which doesn't sound like much, but I really notice it. It's also a bit top heavy, so be careful when holding it
It feels great in your hands though. The back side is indeed fingerprint proof if you get the blue matte version.
The OS has a lot of customization to offer, and I love the (off screen) gestures (I have now also switched from navigation buttons to gestures for navigations).
OneUI has even more options though! Especially if you were using Good Lock. I miss the option to have thumbnails in the task manager. I even miss the bixby button which could be reprogrammed
Face unlock is really fast, as is the FP unlock. If you hold the sensor after unlocking you get a shortcut to 5 favorite apps.
It's a great way to open your hue app or a remote, I just keep forgetting about it and release too soon
Oh, the screen protector is terrible, especially if you want to use the gestures you always move your finger over the edge and it doesn't feel comfortable. So I ripped it off.
Finally I tried out the native launcher, but reverted back to Nova quickly. It's not possible to replace the folder icons by a custom icon.

Thank you so much for your feedback. I'm more impatient now ! It sound great.
And last question (I promise ) the native apps is it from Google (Gmail, chrome, Google calendar,...) ? Or Oppo (like Samsung mail or Samsung calandar version Oppo ) ? Thanks again
It has a lot of Google apps builtin. I didn't really see many Oppo equivalents.
However, some apps can't be uninstalled, which I hate. Think Facebook.

I have no use for BREENO[in Chinese] or Hey Tap[ seems to replace a familiar Android System admin app] .. Cannot use Google1 to restore old SMS/MMS from my Oneplus5. Cannot select new default messaging app [ TEXTRA] . Cannot , or cannot recall how to select default Launcher [EVIE]. Hope we get ROMs here eventually so to have it behave more like a OnePlus /US phone than a Chinese phone.
Help!

default Launcher? I haven't set one for a couple of years, but now I cannot seem to figure how to choose my own preferred [Evie] , or why I cannot set default Messaging App [Textra], or get back my SMS/MMS that are backed up by Google1 to G-Drive.
How did you get Nova as chosen default Launcher?

I just installed Nova and it set itself as the default.
But if you go to settings and type default app then you can set all the default apps too.

Example: Settings, Messaging App: only shows choice Oppo-native, installed one. In Textra it prompts to make it default,, but sending a message results in the device declaring for some security reason it is resetting default to OPPO-native. BTW, OPPO-native is a low function featurelss app.
Launcher: old OnePlus5 in Default Apps has category: Home app [Launcher selection] , nothing like it in the choices under Default Apps on the FindX3pro
Google1 blocked from backing up MMS
My preferred File Manager: ES File Explorer pro lets me attempt to attach my G-Drive [cloud], passes through all the steps correctly, only to conclude "Auth Failed". The g-dive is fully accessible using the Google Drive app, but integration with ES is convenient, has been for years.
Any idea on how to address 'security issues' for either messaging or ES File Explorer?

Exactly, AliExpress straight from China. Language: English fine, but perhaps I was sloppy not being sure of a "Global version" . Any thoughts? Patience: Wait for rooting and ROMs?
Where did you get yours? Version?
Textra? I installed. My preferred Messaging App [ LOL, not OPPO's clearly]

Maybe it is possible to update it with an international ROM? I don't know if the connectivity is working fine too, 4G, 5G?

Sure look forward to giving it a try. Not even sure if there are tiny differences that would make the intl-ROM incompatible. I'm getting OTAs but the Chinese ones I think
[4G coverage good, not noticed or had 5G yet].
Over the last 4yrs I think I only took OTA from OnePlus & rooted it. The 4yrs prior the lock on the Samsung Note4 was never 'broken', Then 3 yrs prior with the Samsung Galaxy Captivate I sure enjoyed XDA-roms & rooting, but that was long ago, & I'm still dependent on skills of others.

Problem with Nova or any custom launcher on any Android 11 phone is that the navigation gestures dont work properly, there is a screen flicker issue when you swipe to go to homescreen. Thats why i am stuck with stock launcher on any new phone i get.
