[Q] How to remove stock keyboards? - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Backstory: I installed thumbs keyboard (best keyboard ever, btw), and use it all the time. For some strange reason, my SGT will seemingly randomly default back to the stock Samsung keyboard. Being that I'm dangerous enough to halfway know what I am doing, I used titanium backup to freeze all keyboards except for thumbs. After a reboot, it appears that my plan worked....checking my settings shows that thumb keyboard is the only one available, and that it is selected (see screenshot).

Problem: While my keyboard seems to work for the xda app and my internet browser, it won't pull up in Friendcaster. Anyone run into this yet?
Potential solution: If I could somehow go in and replace / rename my thumbs apk where the stock keyboard should be, would this result in the thumbs keyboard being default? Any ideas how to do this?

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help!

Icon pictures disappearing

I am running nero v.3 and am experiencing problems with a few select icon pictures disappearing. This happens mostly in my games and puzzles folder in my launcher home pro screen
Games such as angry bird and sniper keep loosing their pictures and are replaced with a generic android one. They still work though. If I remove the icon and add it again, it will start good for a while but revert back to the generic one after a while. This only happens in in. the folders, and the app drawer is completely fine. No problems there
This seems to be isolated to mainly my games and puzzles folders, but not all icons in there are affected. Its the same ones all the time. Can't remember if I had this problem on stock, but I did experience it on nero beta 3
Any idea on what could be the cause

[HELP!] Hardware Keyboard+OTG Cant Change Language

I was used Hardware Keyboard with Xperia S
(Next Time I use 'HW/KB' to call 'Hardware Keyboard')
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

and I used Tswipe Pro Keyboard App
When I'm Connect HW/KB to Xperia S
Tswipe can't use with HW/KB But Xperia S May use a Stock Keyboard software with HW/KB
I don't know why, I can't change language with HW/KB by othe KB app
(Tswipe can set 'Change Language' Key on HW/KB)
How Can I Fix it?
Help me please!
That's a framework thing. I was working on something to remedy that for AOKP, but got a bit distracted so it's all ideas now.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It won't. The stock keyboard uses some really ugly hacks to make it work, most other keyboards don't.
I was Freeze Stock Keyboard app
not work
I was Uninstall Stock Keyboard
not work
GIVE UP!!
T^T
I saw somewhere that in 2.3 OTG Keyboards only work in English.
That on ICS other languages will be supported.
If this is true I don't know... but might the the reason for your problem.

Running Process

I had a look at whats running after a re-boot:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Other them Display brightness, Thumb Keyboard, Google Services and Gallery, why are the others running? I imagine that secphone and Samsung Push Service are required to make the phone work and have my mail pushed. Gps Navigator shows restarting all the time until I turn in on then goes in process. What of those should be frozed as I dont use them at leased for now unless other app are using them.
Those are system apps which are meant to be run by default. If you close most of them, your phone might not function properly like lets say when you get an email or a message, the notification will not be shown if they are force stopped.
Yes, I agree, some apps like Samsung Apps, Maps...etc keep running when you hardly use them.
If its still a pain for u to have these apps running, Use Root Explorer to freeze/Uninstall those apps or just add ".bak" extension to the apk incase if you will ever need these apps.

GB -> ICS LastPass keyboard almost unusable (sample soft keyboard)

I use LastPass. LastPass used the sample soft keyboard (modified for the app)
I managed to do the OTA ICS upgrade... oddly I was still rooted after the upgrade?
I haven't seen any other posts about this so I assume it's something specific to my setup/phone
The LastPass folks are looking into it but can't reproduce it.
Problem: The character labels on they keys are a dim white outline instead of solid.
On GB the upshift, keyboard, space bar, and delete keys are labeled this way but on ICS ALL the keys are labeled this way. It's very difficult see making it hard to use. I have no idea where the sample soft keyboard gets it's labels from but I was thinking maybe I'm missing a font file or something like that.
Any ideas?
My decommissioned Droid 2 is running 2.3.4
My Droid 4 is now on 4.0.4 after upgrading from the GB it came with. When it was on GB the keyboard looked identical to that on my Droid 2.

Z2 has a thumb/split keyboard?

Hi guys
I'm currently surfing the Web via Samsung Note 10.1" (old one with new firmware) and I'm kinda displeased with the thumb keyboard.
It does have a few nice features. But I prefer the prediction on my Z2 phone.
The question is: Does the Z2 Tablet have a split thumb keyboard?
Like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If yes, has this keyboard been ported to other Rom's yet?
And how do you like it?
Greetings
Haldi
Try installing SwiftKey. It's got amazing prediction and can switch between normal and thumb mode.
oh, i didn't know Swiftkey now has a thumb mode, gonna try that. thx.
Not sure how much I like that.... The prediction sure is flawless but you can't move it totally at the bottom
The sony keyboard that comes with Z2 tablet has 3 modes:
-full
-split thumb
-mini
All of them can be movable up and down and the mini can be moved accross the screen as well
