I think what you meant by is switching keyboard? If yes,
You have to long press the input box, press input method and choose your keyboard

hey,
sorry but u can only choose those keyboard wich are enabled in the settings. But in my case there is one diabled keyboard in the settings. And when i try to enter the Input-Method Settings it will crash.
I hope there is an file on the phone in the system where I can set/enable the keyboard.
BTW: my phone is aktual working. but i got this situation two times.

guys, just a little problem:
I downloaded the latest version and, after enabling the keyboard settings menu - language and keyboard,
when I open a text message, and I try to change the input method, nothing shows, I have the ability to change keyboard
always appears the original, I tried to reboot to disable keybord smart, to re-enable it, but nothing,
When I click on "integration method" returns to the screen with the original keyboard, not smart .. Why?
something wrong? well, I looked around, and I have not found anyone with my problem ..
tips?
hello, I have resolved, I was wrong in practice once you've enabled the keyboard settings menu, open a new sms, and hold on "type text here" so you can choose the input method!
Ha just found this thanks my boss has a wildfire and didn't like the standard keyboard and me having a Galaxy S I thought oh thats easy lets get him a new one.
I had the same problem I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to change the default keyboard glad you figured it out I was there for ages.
Maybe its just you and me
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.
Hi all,
using a physical Bluetooth Keyboard is a good choice, but only if you have the right Keyboard-Layout.
As I am not living in US (but instead in Europe/Germany) I am strongly looking for a way to change the used Keyboard Layout. Is there an easy way to change it to get the ability to use a typical German (Hardware) Keyboard on the Atrix 4G (AT&T Version)?
Can I modify: /system/usr/keylayout/evfwd.kl
What are the possible risks?
Which file I have to change for the Webtop mode?
BTW: I tried the App “Keyboard Language” which doesn’t work.
wanted Layout see here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout#Germany_and_Austria_.28but_not_Switzerland.29
I use SwiftKey. There are options in the settings to change it

Hi,
thanks for your answer, but...
Swiftkey is a Software Keyboard, but I am talking about an Bluetooth Hardware keyboard...
The question is: How I can change the mapping of the keys on the Hardware...
Is there any kind of solution for this problem?
Thanks a lot!
Possible Solution for Keyboard Layout for external USB-Keyboard with Multimedia Dock
Hi!
I had the problem that the external GERMAN USB Keyboard couldn't be used as a GERMAN keyboard. And changing the setting to german wouldn't work.
I found this
android-hilfe.de/zubehoer-fuer-das-motorola-atrix/157808-webtop-problem-mit-tastaturlayout.html
and i somehow solved my problem by doing this:
copy "kbd_de_basic.kcm.bin" from /system/usr/keychars/ to /data/usr/keychars/ and rename it to (the already existing!! - so, better make a backup)
"usb_keyboard_102_en_us.kcm.bin" and leave the setting of external keyboard to "US International" (or similar..). Reboot.
For me, it worked. You'd better uncheck all the options at the "physical keyboard" settings menu.
cheers!
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 wonder if anyone can help me
my first question is
when the prime is connected to the dock and the default keyboard is set to ASUS
i can change Language by clicking CTRL+Space but when i have my own Keyboard selected CTRL+space does not change anything
is there a way to switch between Languages when the default keyboard is not ASUS?
my second question is:
is there a way to change or modify what the keyboard shortcuts open
lets say i want the Browser button to open the Chrome browser and not the default
is there a way?

Hi!
First answer:
Each keyboard handles language changes in it's own way, so there is no general answer to your question.
Second Question: Frankly I don't know... Ideally Asus would change the key to just call the internet activity which brings either an option list of Browsers installed or opens up the default browser.

I know. A silly choice by Asus. Fortunately, user agentdr8 came up with a solution with a hacked Keyboard.apk that will make the browser button launch whatever is the default browser. Works perfectly.
See the thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497624
You do need to be rooted to do this, however.
Hope this helps.
I hope insome actualization we get a control ofand on of the dock chargin the prime, but not all is perfect
