I have been tackling Go Keyboard since it has decent landscape keyboard for tablets.
But I had seen FC's so many times and it asked me to download it again because Go Keyboard isn't deployed (it was indeed.)
I looked up Keyboard threads and managed to stop FCs.
1. Install Go Keyboard.
2. Copy apk file from data/app to system/app
3. copy apk file from data/app to mnt/sdcard
4. reboot and install apk from sdcard if Go Keyboard force closes again.
This method required re-installing Go Keyboard after every reboot.
So here's what I've figured out.
5. Delete apk file from system/app after re-installing Go Keyboard.
6. Reboot and you will see no more FCs.
This is not it.
If you want to install Pad plug-in, which I was so eager to use, you will see Go Keyboard asking you to download it and install it again every time you reboot your NT.
Well... you can just clear notification but I thought it was so annoying after all.
7. Go to Market and install Startup Auditor.
8. Once you launch the app, disable Go Keyboard. In other words, you should check both boxes.
Hope this works for everyone who wants to use Go Keyboard especially with Pad Plug-in. I am not sure if the whole thing works without an issue. But I know using Startup Auditor will remove notification because it worked on my Dad's KF as well.

Hi,
I'm having problem with this crap swype !!
Somthing happened and it doesn't show in input anymore !
When I try to install it I got installation failed !!
I went to manage application and I didn't find it there !
So guy where does main files for this crap stored in ! So I can delete them manually and try to install it again !
It's driving me crazy !
I don't know how to remove it but try this first. Go to Manage Applications, press the menu key, select Filter then All. You should be able to find Swype located at the bottom. You can't remove it but select clear data and force closed to see if this helps you.
I hope that helps.
^^^^^
I tried that also but I got same thing swype doesn't show !
yo just get root explorer and go to system/app. loook for swype in that folder and delete it! if you want, you can also delete some swype file from the .lib folder but thats probably not necessary

You cannot remove applications in /system/app. The only way to remove Swype are:
A) Use ADB commands to uninstall it. Search XDA for the ADB thread
B) Get Root Explorer and go into /system/app and delete Swype.apk
Both of these methods require root.
removed swype
i did it by stopping the swype process.
SGS Tools>menu>cleanup System apps>advanced mode> (find swype and stop it)> reboot
ran the swype installer again (beta thing from the site), and it installed.
get absolute system and just uninstall it with that, it completely gets rid of it
Could register for swype beta and download the installer for a reinstall

No need to do it hard way.
Just open Super Manager and go to APK Manager. Then uninstall swype.
Then reboot and you can install Swype BETA
I found a link here on hwo to install the swype beta on a different phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154334
So you don't have to click here are the steps
1) To update the pre-installed Swype to Swype beta you have to have root access or else this isn't going to work
2) Download "Root App Remover" and "Root Explorer" from the android market
3) Run Root App Remover (it will take a minute for it to initially scan the phone for system and user apps)
4) Using Root App Remover go to system apps scroll down to Swype tap it and press recycle, to completely uninstall it (which you have to do) press menu then "SystemApp Recycler" and uninstall it.
5) Run Root Explorer and press the "Mount R/W" button at the top if it isn't already selected, after that to go "system" folder then the "lib" folder and delete the file "libswypecore.so" (if it isn't there then go back into system and then back again)
6) After that go into the "data" folder then the "data" folder and delete "com.android.android.inputmethod" file (if its not there then quit root explorer)
7) After that go to the Swype Beta Website and register, go through all the various steps untill you've finished downloading and installing the Swype Installer.
8) Run Swype Installer and go through all the steps, then download and install the Swype Beta, generate the license using the installer and your done the newest Swype beta is now installed one you Samsung Galaxy S

So in step 6 when you go to delete the file, I don't see that in my list and wanted to know if it has a different name for our phone.
I tried just un-installing Swype with titanium backup (after backing it up) and then installing the beta but after a restart it would throw an error saying Swype stopped working over and over again until I de-selected it. But I did not follow these steps, only the uninstall and install portions.
Any advice is appreciated.
I had the same issue but then I tried the steps again, and restarted twice and it seemed to work. now I get an error after boot saying it isn't licensed correctly but then it goes away and works for me perfectly.

I uninstalled Swype with TBP, deleted the libswypecore.so file, rebooted, and installed the beta. It was that simple for me...
It's pretty easy but a guide never hurts!
The first way is to download apks straight from the internet. Credit to yaggermr for finding this first. Thread Here
1. Find your apk. Heres some to get you started
Go Launcher
Amazon appstore! You need to enter your email and they will email you a link.
2. In your notification area, when the download is completed click on it to open it. A popup will appear click the second option package installer. Now click on install. and you are done!
3. To find your apps click the nook button then click search and start typing in the app you want.
The second way is to use ES file explorer I was able to install apk's I had on my SD card through ES.
GO Launcher
**** started new thread ****
I have a rooted NT and GO Launcher v2.65 running with little to no problem except that everytime I reboot any widgets I have added report back:
"Problem loading widget"
None of the apps are loaded on the SD-Card. I've tried a clean install with a reroot with nothing done except Go Launcher and a gapp or two to test the widgets but still get the error. Am I the only one?
On a side note after I rooted I didn't have to search for the Go app link anymore it just accepts the default setting.
Thanks in advance.

This is a Go Launcher error, the program's data has become corrupted. Clear the program cache and then go to the Go Launcher settings and restart the program.
i tried this method to install keyboard, i tried swype and another keyboard in my language too, but none of them work.
after reboot my NT, i go to accessibility and choose the keyboard, but a prompt warning "force close" showed up. and i can't use it
i didn't try hacker keyboard, but i think it won't work either, and i personally only like swype.
please help. why does that "force close" prompt show up?

Make sure you place the .apk in the correct location. /system/app, then reboot. That should do it.

yeah, i put the .apk in /system/app/ by using root explorer, i also changed permission successfully. i reboot by using adb reboot
can't understand why it doesn't work
at http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/install-alternate-keyboard-apps-on-nook-tablet-how-to/, they say i need gapps installed, but i only installed google play store, googleservicesframework,... (just some gapps, not all)
would that be the reason?
I'm confused? I just installed Hacker just using the install process. No, doing any of the above stuff. Now I've got a choice of keyboards to use.

The workaround install process is only on the stock ROM. Other ROMs don't have this issue.
When I try switching the keyboard to Swiftkey it will always change back to the stock keyboard. Sometimes it happens after using the keyboard once and sometimes after using it a few times. I'm not doing anything specific each time the change happens. The phone is rooted and even though I have Xposed installed, I have not changed any keyboard related settings using Xposed and the issue was occurring before I had even installed it. Any help would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks very much.

Did you Greenify swiftkey? If yes that's the problem. If not, this is reported to work on swiftkey forums. OR, freeze your stock keyboard so it has no choice but to use swiftkey.
Using ES File Manager
1) Open ES File Manager
2) Click on the menu button of your device
3) Click on "Manager"
4) Click on "App Manager"
5) Long press on app you want to extract
6) Click on "backup"
7) Extracted .apk files will be placed on the "backups" directory of your sd card
Now install this new backup over your existing Swiftkey. *Should* stay there forever now.

Thanks very much for the response. I completely forgot that I had used Greenify to hibernate Swiftkey so I disabled that setting. However, the issue came back even after making that change. I ended up just freezing the stock keyboard and that seems to have done the trick so far. Thanks again. I sincerely appreciate the help.
