Okay, here's my issue: I dread the soft keyboard Samsung has applied, and I simply want to use the original Android keyboard, as I have grown accustomed to it. Switching to the original keyboard and then perform a RAM wipe when **** gets sluggish, the system always reverts back to the Samsung keyboard.
Freezing the Samsung keyboard in Titanium Backup doesn't seem to fix it, as it's still available under the language settings, as well as the quick keyboard changer widget thingy on the status bar. Thus, the system tries to revert back to the Samsung keyboard, but since it's been frozen, no keyboard pops up.
So, my question is, is there any way to entirely remove every resemblance of the Samsung keyboard, or just un-grey the selection fields under language options, so that I can choose which keyboards the system should use?

In short: No, Titanium Backup doesn't do the trick.
I'm afraid unless you flash an aosp rom you are out of luck my friend.

I know one way of doing this is to use a different keyboard app but I haven't really found one that works as well as the stock one. Although if anyone can suggest a good one which has T9 keys (e.g. [abc] [efg] etc.) that fits well on the screen I'd like to know; I tried betterkeyboard but it took up too much of the screen I found and the keys were abit small.
Back to topic though, has anyone found a way to just get rid of the annoying language bar that pops up when using the hardware keyboard? I tried unticking the 'default input' option but that seems to screw up the virtual keyboard and eventually came back on anyway.
thanks for any help.
There is currently no 3rd party input method that has taken the Sym/áü button of the mini pro into consideration. I have taken this up and helped the author of Smart Keyboard with this problem, and he has said that it is on his to do list. http://www.dexilog.com/smartkeyboard/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=565 Hopefully it wont be to long before this is fixed. Otherwise I find the mentioned Smart Keyboard the one I am most comfortable with. Should give it a go
just install third party keyboard application and make it as default.
I suggest FlexT9.
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.
I've tried installing different roms and kernels to try and fix this issue, but the "w" on the portrait keyboard doesn't work - instead it presses "q" and "e".
Is there a way on fixing the keyboard?
You need to go into the keyboard options and recalibrate that *****.

Sorry i'm a real noob, but how do you do that?
I cannot find a calibrate option for the life of me :l
when you get into your keyboard hit the little tire looking icon next to the mic.. And try the reset button in the options ^^

Which keyboard are you using?
I press the little cog and it takes me into "saumsung keypad settings" which has keyboard types, input language, xt9, keypad sweeping, character preview, auto-cap, handwriting settings, voice input, auto full stop and tutorial - but no reset?
Just the stock samsung keypad?
Ah yea the samsung one doesn't have a recalibrate option. I'm using the HTC keyboard, which has that option. Here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16368109#post16368109
When you're installed go to: settings>language and keyboard>HTC ime mod settings>text input...scroll to the bottom to calibration tool..
Hope it works!
Weird how you automatically thought he was using HTC_IME.
I installed that HTC keyboard - the W key on the keyboard still doesn't work - I think it may be to do with that location on the screen?
Paired with this, I can't add contacts to my phone :l I'm using Litening ROM v5 :S
Very odd, could be a faulty screen...may be something to do with the roms you've been flashing..they can make things go funny sometimes.
Can't help with the contacts issue, I've only used stock on this phone.
I think just take it to the shop (after you've flashed original rom of course, and got rid of the yellow triangle thing), and swap it for a new one.
Good luck.
Is there any way for me to remove this from the notification bar? It seems to me unnecessary
I use the stock rom if that makes any difference
Yeah I find that to be a little annoying as well...
I get around this by making sure I use the back button and exit out of the keyboard completely after using the messaging app, this takes the notification away until I re-use the keyboard for txting, etc.
That I know, I want to remove ir completely... That's what I need help with
I don't think it's possible to get rid of through a settings option as such, but if you really wanted to you could try your hand at decompiling and removing the notification at the coding level (smali & xml, etc)...
Or politely ask a dev to look into it
Ask a dev it is, cause I don't have the slightest notion of android coding... Now, can someone kindly point me in the direction of a dev?
You could edit the status bar image and make it transparent as a temp fix?

If you have root, you can more the stock keyboard from /system/app to /data/app , and move the keyboard you wish to use the other way (/data/app to /system/app).
This changed the default keyboard for me, enabling me to deselect the stock one, thus removing the notification (It doesn't come up if you only have one input method enabled.)
AOKP roms have the option to disable that entirely btw.
Do you all mean the keyboard switcher in the status bar when typing a text?
If so, see the link in my sig...

In AOKP Rom, Settings -> ROM Control -> General UI -> uncheck "Show IME Switcher" -> ???? -> Profit?
Solved!
Try this:
Browse to /data/system/inputmethod
Delete subtypes.xml
Reboot
Now, if you've another input method you want you'll have to open the xml doc and remove entries to the one which keeps popping up (for me it was Google voice input - but luckily I'm still able to use the voice search in Google Now despite deleting subtypes.xml )
Otherwise, this should work. I tried unticking all but one input methods in the settings menu but it never worked. This does.

Remove Select Input Notification HTC
I know this is a old thread put you can remove the notification even if you don't have root. I have HTC to go Settings - Apps- All - Go To Touch Input Click Disable - Then Go to Settings - Language and Keyboard Remove Checkmark Next to Google Voice Typing - Restart Phone No more Select Input Notification. This method should work for any device although the name of the stock keyboard in the first step may be different.
Hello,
I've come here to ask your help on an issue that occured with my recent app menu (in which I mean the menu to change apps when pressing the menu button)
I've always had the stock Samsung multitasking bar, which was black and only came up in a small bar, overlapping my current app partially.
But after trying to fix something that had to to with google play (some app dependencies and patches), I noticed that the multitasking screen had disappeared and instead, it was the normal app switch screen.
I've already tried factory reset with a titanium backup restore from when it worked, but now I'm out of suggestions and I miss the functionality of the bar.
Does anyone have advice or help.
The device is a Samsung Tab Pro 10.1, rooted, stock rom (using nova launcher)
thanks in advance,
Durneztj
