Better Keyboard not working on Ion

You can download and install it fine. You can even set it up and skin it fine but when the keyboard pulls up its still the default. I miss my big keys!

Me too... Any ideas? :/

Hold the "123" button then you can select "Better Keyboard" as a default.

No I mean when you have your onscreen keyboard display, press and hold "123" button and an option will show up.

I have a 12# button and when I hold that there is no option given???

Click and hold the input text box instead, until a pop-up comes up which lets you choose the input method. (Don't try it on the desktop google widget, of course)

Thanks that worked...BUT
The app gives a message about having to force close. Any suggestions?
I am so close to getting this to work lol
Thanks!

Worked here too. Thanks!

[Q] long press doesnt really kill app

there are 3 buttons on bottom left :: back, home, and running apps.
long press just does about the same as pushing home ..
all long pressed apps still show as running in that button.
even using back button over and over doesnt close any app or browser..
no matter what , i have to manually close apps

ok i'm familiar with the buttons on the notification/status bar, however the "running apps" button is not running apps button, it's "recently used apps" button. it doesnt mean that the app is still running.

well, I should probably be embarrassed.. so I am a little..
thanx for that.. Every day I understand android a little more..
if I knew of a way to automatically clear that column, I would..
thanx

you can clear the recently used apps by swiping them left or right with your finger.

I know on CM10 (for Atrix) there's a little button on top right that clears all recent apps. I didn't see it on CM9. Swiping is the only way it seems. Change it to webOS style and it's more fun!
Cheers

[REQ] Back Button Kills Process

Hello,
is there any way to kill the current process by holding the back button?
thanks

Can't you just swipe it away in the recent apps menu ?

On stock and non-rooted rom you can only disable all background processes in Developers Menu. There's no way to set a hardware button kill action.

Would be cool to have a mod with "long press kill option" like in CM rom.

It kills most apps - not all of them though. Some are "swipe-resistant" for whatever reason.

Hi, I am currently using third party apps to kills, Its called gmd gestures which u can create a gesture that will kill process (Force stops the app but still u will receive the push notification) so it will not drain ur battery, u can also hide ur onscreen buttons and status bar where u enjoy th full screen real estate. Try it and u will love it

Why do you want to kill processes?

I googled this and it seems that swiping apps is pretty useless. When you swipe an app you just clear it from memory cache. So you will not get any ram out of swiping. But still, can someone confirm it??

Thanks for the info on this.
Sorry for applying now, but was busy with the phone, I see that some icons I can remove, but others not, I have factory reset my phone.
I am opening a new post that I need help with.

How to put installed apps icon on Home Screen?

Red Magic 3 new user here, accidentally removed an icon from the home screen, so how to put it back there? (Also for the other installed apps I see in the Settings but not shown on the Home Screen)...
Anyone can help? Thanks in advance!

Are you serious, bro? This is basic Android. You press and hold down on the icon, then move it up to where you want. Same as removing from the home screen.

Seriously, it doesn't work on Red Magic 3, I can't find the App Drawer. I can't find the installed app icons other than in the Settings (Apps & Notifications), and you can't drag it to the Home Screen.
And when you click & hold the Home Screen, it only shows option for "Home Settings", "Widgets", and "Wallpapers".
