Why does keyboard "Swiftkey Flow" not work? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

I know that "flow" worked on my Note II. It did. But it stopped working.
I go into the settings for the Samsung keyboard and "Swiftkey Flow" is checked. In fact, I can't uncheck it even if I wanted to.
So, what gives?

Having services on under Settings -> Accessibilty -> Services can cause it to stop working.

Turns out I had to disable Notifier Plus Pro. That's a bummer because I relied upon Popup to give me notifications from Google Voice text messages.

Talkback + Missed it problems

I'm using a Galaxy S3 on Omega Rom v44.2
In settings > Accessibility > Services, I only have one option there which is missed It.
When i try and activate it, i get a message saying " Talkback cannot be enabled with smart stay and multi-window. Do you want to disable them to continue?" even though i am not trying to activate talkback. :S
If i disabled them and activate the service, i get the talkback icon constantly in the notification bar, which is annoying.
I've done some googling and I've found it's a common problem.
My question is there anyway to completely remove talkback altogether? or completely disable it.
I have tried disabling Samsung TTS and Google TTS, but the talkback icon still appears.
Thanks
anyone?

[Q] Accessibility bug

Whenever I try to use apps on a device that use the accessibility section of my phone, Whenever I turn on the feature, it always seems to turn on the action to voice output. I just installed PushBullet and when I turned it on in Accessibility, when swiping my homescreens, the accessibility voice turns on and says "page _ of _" Please help me fix this bug. It's soooo annoying.
There is no official fix for that... Only thing you can do is go to Application manager, swype to all apps page and find and disable Google Text to speech and Samsung TTS

Notification Listeners in OS 5?

When getting one of my apps after rooting, pebble time, it said it required notification access. When trying to enable this it took me to the sound & notification settings; after looking around I couldn't find any way to allow it to read my notifications (not accessibility settings). Is there any way around this?
Thanks in advance - mymindstorm

Did you go to the app In Settings>manage all apps? There's a box under Force Stop to "Show Notifications." If you did that and it didn't have the notifications option, there's an Xposed module called AppOpsXposed that should let you turn on notifications.

I probably didn't word that right, I need the app to read the notifications. Normally there would be a section in settings for this, but it is removed.

Downloaded Services won't stay enabled.

In Settings -> Smart assistance -> Accessibility -> Downloaded Services, the apps installed there keep getting turned off.
I'm running Type Machine (keystroke logger) and Smart Launcher, and neither will stay enabled. I can turn them on, then a while later, I'll get a notification that Smart Launcher is unable to turn the screen off, and directs me to this setting, where I find both disabled again. I haven't been able to pin down a time frame yet, although it will happen multiple times between reboots. Neither setting survives a reboot, either.
Anyone seen this before? I've found a few reports of it on Reddit, but no solutions. Can't believe I couldn't find anything about it on here.
Aside from this and other small annoyances like the touchscreen apparently losing calibration, it's a fantastic phone.
I sometimes have this issue with nova launcher as well. You can go battery settings > app launch > turn the two apps to manual manage. It may solve this issue of them auto turning off.

Thanks, I've done that and will keep an eye on it to see if that solves the problem.
I have this issue frequently with MacDroid. I have MacDroid set to manual battery control and have excluded it from pretty much all system management. It also has every permission known to mankind.
Oddly, even when Accessibility shows that MacDroid is disabled, sometimes (most of the time) it continues to function. So this may be a UI bug as much as a system disabling the services bug.
The cause I am not sure. I only know the downloaded service for Nova Launcher gets auto turned off if you switch back to Huawei launcher. However, it does NOT get auto switch off when you remain on nova launcher.

It doesn't seem to affect apps running at all, merely affects certain specific features. In the case of Type Machine, it seems to just be blocking its ability to capture words coming off the keyboard app. The app is still running, I can still see previous captures, it just stops capturing.
With Smart Launcher, it says it's needed specifically to "allow Smart Launcher to expand the notification panel and the quick settings panel".
I changed the power settings per Koong1's suggestion... they turned off again after a while, but I re-enabled both, and they've stayed on ever since. So that may have solved it.

You can try restarting your device to check if they stayed enabled. If it does, then they are pretty likely to remain stay enabled in the future.

vibrations options

Unbelievable but obviously true, the tab vibrates by incoming calls only. There are no other options for vibration feedback like on the keyboard or home screen for example. That's quite poor for such a tab in my opinion

There are, in settings

Yes, of course but only that one option for incoming calls

Hi @meduza
I had the opposite issue where it would vibrate for all notifications which I didn't want. The solution was to edit the individual app notification settings (Settings -> Notifications ) to disable vibration. In your case, you'd be looking to enable vibration.
I hope this helps.
I was wondering the same thing... OP is referring to calls/notifications, but HAPTIC feedback (app touches, keyboard touches, navigation button presses...) are disabled and the settings that are usually there on other devices, including the Tab S4 and 5e, are gone. GBoard does let you select vibration on key presses, but if you set it to 'system default', it states DISABLED, so this IS disabled in the OS.

Cool, thanks! That helped in deed! Didn't know there is an option to turn on vibration in individual app notification settings. This brought back the vibration to my email app

That's exactly it! Only one option, the one for incoming calls. I asked in the samsung members app support, if this is really like this or if there is something wrong with my tab, I just couldn't believe it.
The answer was, my tab is o.k., there is this one option only I hope they will fix this with some update ... .
