I installed SmartKeyboard from Market. But I tried to tab-hold at a text input box, and it only shows me selections of "Android Keyboard, Standard Keyboard, and Japanese Keyboard"? Is there anything additional I need to do to enable the installed keyboards?
Press "input method', or go to settings and enable something about "input method"
You need to goto Settings > Locale and Text then Find the keyboard you installed and make sure there is a tick beside it. Hope that helps.
Got it now! Thanks guys!!!

I can't seem to get my g tab to activate any third party keyboards from the market. When I go into settings -> languages and keyboards, then try to click the check box next to the keyboard name, a warning comes up saying it might be a keylogger. I click on activate, and nothing happens, and the keyboard is not listed in the input methods menu. When I go imto options for Better Keyboard and select activate, settings force closes.
I am running tent lite 4.4 and trying to use better keyboard, thumb keyboard, and swiftkey. Any ideas? Thanks!

With TNT and some of the other roms you will have to install the APK for the keyboard to the system folder.

Thanks! Where on my tablet is that .apk file stored so I can copy and paste it over?
How do I enable the GB Keyboard ? I downloaded one from the market it installs but I cant seem to figure out how to enable. I'm running virtous and have tried on stock and also on perfect storm and nothing. Am I doing something wrong ?
Menu>settings>Language & Keyboard and enable.
Then go to a place where you'd put text in (messaging app for example) and long press and select input method and select gingiekb
I tried that. I was thinking there was something more to it. Once I get to the menu I see GB Keyboard settings and Htc _ime mod settings and touch input settings I can change the settings but nothing actually happens

did you enable it?
That's what I'm asking where in there do i do that ? Sorry for being such a noob but I don't see it.
There should be a check mark to enable the keyboard in the settings.
Then go to a place where you'd put text in (messaging app for example) and long press and select input method and select gingerbread keyboard

Thanks that did it.
exactly as the title says, i cant figure out how to switch to a different keyboard,
there's no option under the language and keyboard settings to actually select one of the other keyboard i have installed, any ideas??
I'm on cm7 also and only have one keyboard selection but I install swype beta and never looked back...do you want swype or the old sammy keyboard? Swype was pretty easy to install but I'm not sure about the old keyboard from froyo rom...idk if there is a work around to get it on cm7? You may be out off luck for that keyboard?

Are you looking to actually just select a new keyboard or install a totally new one
If selecting make sure it checked in language and keyboard settings and long press in any text box, choose input method and select the desired keyboard. thats how I did it

Hi all,
i couldnt find anything on the forum about this. I have a german dock keyboard button layout, but the input is still in english. This means, that Y and Z are switched and a few other buttons, so thats quite annoying ;-)
Couldnt find a setting to change that, can someone help me out?
Cheers
By default the keyboard uses the key layout based on the system language, but you can change the key layout in the settings under language&input/configure input methods/active input methods/
Deselect "Use system language", select "Asus German(Germany) Keyboard" and deselect "Asus English(US) Keyboard" (you have to do it in this order, you can't deselect English first)
Also make sure you are using ASUS' keyboard as your input method. If you select anything else the Keyboard won't work correctly.
