Hey everyone! I got my wife the shift 4g today and she fell in love with swype on my Epic so I got her into the beta, downloaded the installer and did all that jazz. Then I went ahead and made sure to enable it but here is where I got confused:
There was no other keyboard to disable. I shrugged it off and gave her her phone back but then she started getting frustrated. She said it wasn't letting her swype and that her keyboard didn't look like mine. I checked it out and it was the same stock HTC keyboard. I tried searching around but I can't find out how to disable the stock sense keyboard...perhaps there is a setting I'm missing but if not can someone help me with a way to get it to work? Thank you!
Im not sure I completely follow but I can try to help...
Anyways
Just go to settings > Language and keyboards > Check the Swype check box and accept the warning
In your text box wherever you are using the stock keyboard long press and tap "Input Method" and select swype.
// PS You dont need to disable anything through out the process, you can have multiple active keyboards and just leave Swype selected as the Input Method, maybe your issue is the beta version you were using? Not completely sure.

Wow thank you. I have no idea what was going wrong. After I installed it and selected it there was no warning that should have been my first indication that something was wrong. Anywho I rebooted her phone, re-enabled it in settings and finally was able to get long pressing a text input field to give me the input method box. Very weird.
Ultra keyboard can swipe too. Slide it. There are alternatives.
If you get swype, give sms to swype a try. It reads all your texts and adds words to the dictionary that aren't already in there (for swype).

You're welcome. Anytime! Glad you solved your problem.
herb, I am new to XDA and I dont know how they look upon double posting (dont feel like looking it up either) but I imagine it isn't the best thing, edit buttons save lives. =)
Please, no posting swype or ways of getting swype I edited the needed posts, but just a heads up. Thanks

No problem, and really, you did a good job as you didn't actually post the file/link Just doing my job! Swype discussion or links to the official beta are ok, just no links/attached files/ways to get swype.
You guys should look into theming Swype also, Myns theme for it was pretty cool compared to the stock but his whole theme was great in my opinion.

Nah, your fine. The rule basically is, unless the phone ships with swype, don't post it. You're fine with discussing it, just no links please.
Wonder why the Evo has swype now but not our shifts.
The evo started out swypeless and later received it in an update.
I installed swipe (non beta) and it runs great!

WRONG! The Evo does in fact come with Swype now. It is now a officially supported device and was included in the latest 3.70 update. Do your research..

I have multi keyboards etc, but never see the little microphone key. I saw it once briefly but never again (sorry, can't remember when or how). Did anyone ever get this working?

Have you installed voice search from the android market yet?
If not, that's something you need to do.
I have voice input working with FlexT9 keyboard (from amazon market) and also with Swiftkey Tablet.
I can't get voice input on my keyboard working with any keyboards other than those listed above.
Voice search definitely works for me, however.
Thanks Downsay, I'll give some of those keyboards a try. I can't use Amazon apps as I am in Canada and they have us locked out.
how did you install FlexT9 keyboard?
I tried the amazon downlaod and it just gives me a force close when I try to follow instruction screen and click button keyboard and input.

Which keyboard are you trying to download? Are you rooted?
Sent from my Nook Tablet using Tapatalk
which
downoaded FlexT9 keyboard and I am rooted I have hacker keyboard running.
First install the keyboard for the first time if you haven't already done so. Then Did you move the keyboard into /system/app? If not, you need to.
Also note that after you have done this you will need to reboot the nook. Then you will most likely have a force close error. Open root explorer or however you put the keyboard into /system/app and install flext9. You will have to reinstall each time you reboot the nook tablet. I'm not sure why' but it won't stick after a reboot. Let me know if this helps you out.

In previous versions of the Shostock ICS ROM, when I used voice commands with my Blueant Q2 headset, it automatically used Samsung Voice Command for making hands-free calls (worked great). But since I upgraded to 4.1.4, it defaults to Google Voice Dialer and then doesn't work. I can't find GVD in the applications list to deactivate nor can I find a way to make SVC the default.
Shoman didn't have any idea about the problem.
Can someone help?
Thanks in advance.
I think shoman misunderstood your original question when he responded about installing SVC yourself, but you only gave him a couple hours to respond to your clarification about setting the default before you posted over here.
Which voice command pops up for you now when you press the search button on the phone? The Google Now one that has "Search, or say Google" in the search bar or a different one?

When I press the button my Blueant Q2 headset, the Google Voice Dialer pops up. The little red circle to the right of Google then has a never-ending circling line and GVD never seems to engage.
I want SVC to pop up, not GVD.
Does that help? Can you help?
BTW, I just upgraded to Shostock 4.1.4.
Gotcha. I think I understand. Have you tried a long press on your phone's search button to pop up all search/dial options and set Samsung's to default?

When I press the Search button, Google Now popped up, but I told it "Maybe Later."
I just tried long pressing Search, per your suggestion, and set Samsung Voice Talk as the default. After that, when I long press Search SVC comes up. But when I use my headset, GVD still pops up.
Other ideas?
I do appreciate the help...
After messing around some, this seems to be a problem with 4.1.4. I use AVX as my default and hadn't gotten around to reinstalling it since I flashed shoman's latest. After restoring it, I set it to default and am having the same exact deal as you, a press on the search button opens Google Now but my headset starts the Google dialer with the spinning red circle even though my default is set to something else. A long press on the search button will open my default, though.
Just flashed back to 4.1.2 and the problem persisted, so it isn't the latest version of the Shostock ROM.
So what has changed? I don't know. But being able to voice dial while driving is essential for me and I can't do it now.
Thoughts?

While I have you, have you tested any of the Jelly Bean ROMs available? If so, any recommendations?

Without checking the changelog, pretty sure Google Now was added in 4.1.2

Nope, I haven't and probably won't until sho releases one. I'm pretty dedicated to his ROMs.
You want to post about this in the Dev thread or me?

If you don't mind, would you post in Dev thread as you can probably articulate the issue more clearly?
I'm going to flash back to 4.1.1 to do a real test. I'll report back.
Again, many thanks.
Just restored back to 4.1.1 and SVC works fine. So it is since 4.1.2.
Good detective work on your part.
At least I'm functioning again.
I'm making dinner atm, but as soon as I get a few, I'll let shoman know.

It's more than that. Before Google Now, a press on the phone's search button opened whatever your default was set to (same as a long press on my Plantronics set). Now, a press always opens Google Now's search, and a long press opens your default. I could live with that, but our headsets now always open up neither, it starts the old google voice command. Pretty funky.

Hardly an "epic fail" on your part given the awesome ROM that you have created.
Any solution?
I restored back to 4.1.1 and it works great. As I need hands-free, I'll stick with that until this problem gets ironed out (or you create a JB ROM!).

Well I'm gonna have to remove Google now and offer it as an add on.... Well I'll link to it so people can choose for themselves.
I don't like adding something that breaks something else. There is an s voice that works I guess...I might try that.

Hi, i own a Samsung GS7 edge and I've just updated to Android 7.0. Everything has been fine and I've had no bigger problems with it, until yesterday when my emoji button, on my stock Samsung keyboard, totally disappeared. My device is not rooted, and I really wonder what the heck happened. Can someone please help me? Is there something I can do without having to master reset the phone? I have tried to wipe the cache, you know when you turn your phone off and hold down the volume down button, and that doesn't seem to work... Right now I'm using the GBoard, but I like the Samsung keyboard better.
I am thankful for help. :crying:

Ok, definitely the rom isn't stable yet, and the problem might be fixed in newer updates.
For now, you can download the latest stock rom for your phone and country and flash it with Odin that might override the faulty app, and also a replacement for "factory reset".
anyway, if i were you i wouldn't do that because it's a risk of bigger issues, there are many keyboards available and better than Gkeyboard, like SwiftKey or TouchPal
Right now.
I'm using Xperia Keyboard, although it's only available for Xperia phones, but some helpful XDA members managed to port it and make it installable as a normal apk, if you want the link, i will give it to you

Hello all.
I recently got a Honor 10 and I can't get used to this Swiftkey or new Gboard keyboards.
I liked so much my simple and easy to use old phone's AOSP keyboard.
I have tried different versions from apk mirror but none offl them worked on Honor.
I even tried transfering via BT the apk from the root storage of my old phone to Honor and instaling it. But again, failed.
Either the app crashes, or it doesn't even show the keyboard when you select a text box.
Any solution to this?
Any way to make AOSP Keyboard work on Honor?
Have not tried, but try download https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/cyano...id-keyboard-aosp-8-1-0-2-android-apk-download this.
