Hi recently installed StreakDroid 1.8.1. There doesnt seem to be an option in the method to change between Swype and android keyboard. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thx.
If you are asking how to change between keyboards then do the following.
In the typing box, touch and hold until you get the option to change the input method.
If you are saying that when you do that, android does't show up, go into settings, language keyboard, and make sure android keyboard is selected.
If it is selected, and you are not getting the option, then you have a bad 1.8.1 image. Maybe you used perfmod option in the install.txt.
I would recommend going back to stock froyo 2.2 and then back to 1.8.1

You can fix by installing titanium backup.
Install your favorite keyboard first
Then go into titanium and freeze the android keyboard. Reboot then choose whatever your fav is

Unlesss you never want to use a particular keyboard you don't need to do this.
This shows how it should work. If you have the keyboard you want selected in settings, then you should be able to pick it after long pressings in a text field and choosing input method.
After you install any keyboard you have to go to Settings->Language & keyboard settings and check the box next to the new keyboard to make it available to use. It will not show up in the list of input methods unless you do this.

Okay. The gingerbread keyboard is just garbage. I cant figure out how to get the htc_ime keyboard on my phone. Ive downloaded the lowres and clicker apks. Change keyboard inputs and it just force closes. Ive tried installing different ways with no luck.
Anyone have any ideas?
Im currently running on my gsb 1.7 gingerbread rom on my never dead eris
Go to gimpsta.com and choose the froyo build and you can either make you own or use a premade one used it before on v1.6 and it worked great.

I couldn't get the gimpsta keyboard to work on GB either until I started using GO SMS. For some reason it works with that messaging app.....for me anyway.
the gb keyboard is very slow ive been looking for a different one also

It's not a flashable zip. Just a regular old zip file. Unzip and click apk to install.
To select, checkmark in settings; lanuage+keyboard then open keyboard. GB will stll come up. Long press setting key, choose select input, and choose HTC IME.

You do NOT want the "hi" version.

get swype!!
Can't get it to work either
I had this working on xtrSENSE before, but now it won't work since I reflashed it. Normally, I hold MENU until it prompts me to choose a keyboard. This time, it always defaults to the stock keyboard. On 2.1, you cannot choose the keyboard through Settings > Language & keyboard.
This thing has a hard time rebooting too, so I don't want to turn it off. If I have to reboot or factory reset then I will, but it's a pain in the neck.

Hi,
i was just wondering if anyone is having issues selecting other keyboards on streak-droid 1.8 i can select the keyboard in setting but as soon as i leave the setting it unchecks itself so i cant select it as an input.
i tried searching for this issue but had no luck so if a thread exists please point me in the right direction
thanks you
when in a box or area where you can type, do a long press, and this should bring up a menu which includes input method. Click that, then a list of whatever different keyboards you have installed should come up. Click your preferred method.
thanks
Hey thank you for responding but the issue i have is when i select the keyboards i download and leave that setting area and go back in the are unchecked again the only two that com up when i do long press is swipe and android keyboard . before i went to droid streak i would just check it in language and keyboard then do the long press like you said and it would show up.
guess ima try a factory restore and see what happens
thanks
Also having this problem. Just us?
Had this problem too. A factory reset from Dell's four option menu fixed it.
Or you can remove the swype app with titanium back up ...i ran into this proble. Today ...i fixed it by removing swype from system apps ...

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.
You can find more information at this post:

Thanks! Where on my tablet is that .apk file stored so I can copy and paste it over?
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

I was playing with anycut a shortcut creation app and found a shortcut for a debug keyboard. It has four diffrent color screens. It also has a debug option with voice search. I haven't got that working yet. I m currently using the stone them much darker.
Can you post a screenshot? This sounds pretty awesome
Here are the pics of stone keyboard and keboard debug. UPDATE. After entering debug mode, I went to assiablity setting menu and found I could switch keyboards. I I'm now running swift keyboard.
I found the debug keyboards, and the acessibility menu with the input options. How did you enable swift keyboard? I have installed plus a couple other keyboards and i cant enable them so they are a option in the input methods.

Can we use it to install different keyboard apk, or just to change themes?

It does change the themes however I was able to get Swift Keyboard installed. I can switch between SK and android keyboard. The problem is I can't duplicate the results leaving it difficult to instruct others in the process. Sorry

How about giving us a general idea? We won't beat you up too bad if it's incomplete or doesn't work. Perhaps someone else will take your starting point and flesh it out.
Thanks!
yah, just instruction on how to get the menu open would help. no worries if we can't reproduce. it would just give us a starting point

I figured it out.
1. Install anycut: http://li362-167.members.linode.com/gapps/non_google/com.appdroid.anycut.apk
2. Open Anycut, Create a New Shortcut.
3. Pick "Activity"
4. Pick "Android Keyboard Debug"
5. Success!

Did you install your keyboard in any specific way? I suspect just downloading an APK is not going to work here.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Never mind, i have a complete procedure now. I have installed hacker keyboard! I will post it in a new thread in a little while.
Nice. I was able to change the theme. But in the accessibility menu, I only had one selection: android keyboard, even though I have thumb keyboard and swift keyboard installed.

I installed from google market i own SK I also opened it after installation went through the settings. I think I got a force close error i rebooted looked for the keyboard in the device setting. It wasnt there, So I just left it alone. A couple days later after doing a ton of stuff to the nook I found that installing kb's creates a hidden debug menu. I messed with some themes and enabled debug menu. Then I was just looking at the device menu, accessibility menu and checked input methods and there was swift keyboard. Sorry I had given up on installing an after market kb. I did it by accident. I also should mention I am rooted. I. have tried this with other keyboards with no luck.

Check the box that says "version 2.3.4". That puts it in debug mode.
When you go into accessibility, hit "cancel" on the prompt. Then hit "input method". If you did everything right, your keyboard will be selectable there.
