Does anyone know how to get rid of the keyboard tray icon? I'm tired of accidentally bumping it when I start typing too fast. Seems like it would be an android system option but no option to hide it.

Has an option to remove the notification (if I correctly understand your question)
I might have to try that out. I've done well without rooting my prime so far but this might convince me otherwise. I might still wait for the bootloader unlock tool first. Thanks for the advice.

This notification only shows up when there's more then one keyboard installed. And since there IS more then one keyboard installed (the stock Android one and the ASUS keyboard) it will always show up. So the only option get rid of it is to uninstall the stock Android keyboard (you don't want uninstall the ASUS keyboard unless you don't own the keyboard dock).
Gotcha, well that sucks. Personally i prefer thumb keyboard but I don't think i'll go through the hassel of removing the others. Could come with future complications if I do that. I just dont understand the necessity for the taskbar icon. You can just as easily go into settings and change it.

Is there a keyboard out that has a space bar the is longer, with the ability to autocorrect? I like the I'm using, but I keep hitting the period instead of the space bar. I would imagine cutting the enter key in half, and removing the keyboard setting button would suffice. I am using the gingerbread sense mod board currently.
Thank you in advance,

I use gingerbread keyboard from market and love it!

I use better 8 keyboard. It might not show in the market, just google it. Im sure you will find it. There is a paid version and a free version, the free version is okay but its well worth buying, however alot of people google it and find the .apk file already online, but i suggest supporting the dev. who made it.
I use Thumb Keyboard (paid version) and it gives me different layout options. You might wanna check that out in the market as well.
Sooooo i just finished installing ics and noticed that face unlock is missing, I'm also wondering what else may be removed, post here and let's try to figure it all out

Beam requires an NFC chip, I'm pretty sure the Prime doesn't have one.
I no longer have the option to close out running applications.
Now they just pile up and don't provide an "X" to close them.
This will just hog up system resources.
Still no functionality for the lower portion of the mouse pad. A simple left-click would at least allow for easier attempt at selecting text in a text box.

Face unlock seems to be a galaxy nexus feature now more than ICS. even my nexus s that runs on Ics, never got the face unlock

I was looking thru the apps disabling what I could in the settings and I see that Face Unlock is in there it lets you force close it and disable it. Its version 4.0.3-239410 and says its 64KB not sure if thats the full app or maybe something that will get added in later. Maybe we just need to find a way to enable it?
Perhaps the front facing camera is not up to spec hence the upgrade this summer?
And, hit the X below the notifications to close all of them at once. That's a welcome addition.

When not using the dock, I prefer to use Thumb Keyboard from the market for the on-screen keyboard. The problem is when I dock the tablet, the keyboard stays on Thumb Keyboard, which uses the US keyboard layout which is a bit of a problem since my Prime is the UK model. The keyboard layout differs slightly which is not a huge problem but it does get a bit annoying.
I can manually change the keyboard back to the Asus keyboard but that seems to be an extra step in something that should be automated. Does anyone know if there is an app or a setting that tells the tablet to change keyboard automatically when you dock or undock the keyboard? Thanks!

I believe there is an application for that, but I don't remember it's name unfortunately. It might require root too.
I'm also using thumb keyboard, but I haven't found any inconsistencies yet, could you point them out to me?
As for fixing your issue, you could try the ' alternative/international keyboards' setting
The only one I have found so far are @ and " being switched around. (shift+2 is @ on US keyboard, " in UK) There might be more but I haven't really tested them out. Anyway I tried looking at the international keyboard settings but there seems to be no way to change to the UK layout; there's just one QWERTY keyboard.

i just did the other day using viperboys method, it was done in less than 10 minutes with NO hassle. HIHGLY recommend it. i pretty much did it for this app, which USED to be paid. for w/e reason, dev made free... and im glad!
my only possibly objection to KBM, it places a notification in the bottom right. i just hate notifications. i try to clear em asap. but, same goes for external sds... so i guess we just deal with it lol...
Lol. I know lots of people get annoyed by notification icons but I'm pretty cool with them so it should be alright. Thanks for the tip on the rooting method.

in the settings for keyboard manager you can disable to the notification.

ya i know but leaving a notification makes it more of a persistent app. i use swipepad on my phone with notification persistence but the dev made it possible to make the notification icon transparent. this should be in ALL notification icons imho!
Hi all,
I love my GT and the keyboard dock it came with (plus all the shortcuts). I use them nearly everyday together for taking notes in class, but I HATE that holding the backspace key will end up deleting everything I typed. I wish it would just continously delete until I let go, like the stock keyboard. Is there any way to remove this "feature" or make Swype or the stock keyboard the default for the dock?
Changing it everytime I dock my tablet is annoying and every now and again when the screen turns off it just turns back to the samsung keypad.
TIA

Ever tried SwiftKey X Tablet? It seems to do everything you mentioned so far, some say it has dock support but I wouldn't be too sure. You might wanna test it, the app is free ofcourse. If you feel you like it, buy it

It only appears when typing. Using d3rp rom, everyone seems to hate this notification, but I find it very useful. I doubt it, but is there any way to get it back without flashing different rom? Is there a system apk that handles this that could be replaced without breaking the rom.

I think that happens when you have more than 1 keyboard installed and no default set
Sent from my Evo 3D CDMA using xda app-developers app
I do have more than one keyboard and on the stock rom the notification (which is a keyboard icon in the status bar) would be there regardless of default whenever a keyboard was in use. This was a highly useful feature allowing me to switch keyboards on the fly depending on input requirements. There are some really efficient keyboards that lack certain useful features like arrow keys and numberpads, being able to quickly switch keyboards is an effective way to get the best of all worlds. Why people found this so annoying is beyond me. The best I can do right now is use Tasker to replace it, but this notification will be there ALL THE TIME, not just when typing, now THAT is annoying.
