Keyboard keeps reverting to stock - Verizon LG G3

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.

[Q] Application Google service framework force close after rooting

Hi everyone
After rooting my Nook tablet, I keep getting the popup "The application Google services Framework(process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly" every time I reboot. I have to choose "Force close" it.This is so annoying.
Do you guys have any idea how to fix it ?
Thank you
I haven't seen it on the Nook, but I was getting it on the Iconia A500. Turn off all syncing on your Accounts and then re-enable a service at a time until you figure out which one is causing the issue.
In my case, it was web syncing, however that's not an option on the Nook (I don't think).
Make sure you have
ContactsProvider.apk and
CalendarProvider.apk
in the /system/app folder

I have both of these installed in that location and I still get force close after reboot each time. It doesn't affect anything so I haven't worried about it.

I'm getting the same "The application Google services Framework(process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly" after a reboot. I followed the steps in the first post on rooting the Nook Tablet. Everything seems to work OK except for Google Talk, that force closes.
I also have the files that suggested.

I am having this same issue. Any help or suggestions other than confirming the .apks are in place.
Thanks.
I'm also having the issue but I haven't noticed any ill affects other than it is a little annoying
Here’s my framework apk, I am not sure if it will solve your FC problem.
You can use ES File Explorer to do this; it’s free from the market. You have to enable Root Explorer and Mount File System as writable in the Settings. In the Directory Settings, change current directory to “/”, without the quotation. Click back to main screen, click on the Star button, and click Home.
Copy the framework apk to /system/app/ and override the existent framework apk.
To set permission, just go to apk Properties by holding on the apk and scrolled down to Properties.
Has anybody tried to use succulent's google framework file or figured out another way to fix this problem? I've tried a factory restore by doing 8+ failed boots and re-rooted the device, installing gapps with Indirect's root method and I still immediately get the force close each time the tablet restarts.
How do you disable syncing for contacts/calander for the nook? I couldn't find that so I didn't try that method yet.
Are the permissions correct for it? rw-r--r--?

I am having the same trouble as the others. I tried your file and am still having the same problem.
I factory restored last night and re-rooted. No fc on startup now. It must be something I did later.
I downloaded the newest version, after searching google for it. I was able to install the new one fine, and now it is working fine. I beleive its the same version that was installed when I rooted last night, that one just wouldnt reinstall.

Any chance you could share where you got this? I see lots of results for GoogleServicesFramework.apk, but none that look anywhere near official.

Same problem cropped up for me.
Fixed it by clearing data for Google Services Framework: Settings...ApplicationSettings...ManageApplications...All...GoogleServicesFramework...ClearData
After reboot, all was well.

Well....
After a few more reboots, the problem returned. Cleard by fixing permissions in CWM recovery under advanced menu. Rebooted twice. All is well (fingers crossed).

Go Keyboard working flawlessly

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.

Stock apps reinstalling after reboot?

My NT is using indirect's root and I had the stock apps removed. Every time I reboot, pandora, netflix, and hulu plus always show back up after I uninstall them. Any clue why they come back after a reboot? My netflix app always asks for an update and I have two copies of pandora on there.
you have to first go to root--->system---->app find the app and delete.
then uninstall
then reboot
(may need to change permissions to delete the crap)
I had this same issue, and one of the best ways to prevent it is before trying to delete/uninstall theme, is to go into the stock app manager and archive everything, this unregistered the flag that says they should be there on the device at all from B&N's perspective, and ensures they won't just suddenly appear again. I had the same issue with Netflix continually reverting to B&N's version instead of the newest version.

i'm not seeing a system folder in root... do i need to use a specific app to change permissions? i've already gone through several folders on the nook and on the memory card trying to track the apps down and can't find anything...

how do you archive everything? by the stock app manager i'm assuming you mean the menu where it lists all your apps...
market--->es file explorer
install
open---->top right( star for favs) click. THen select the phone object thing. (/) is under mine
root will open up
click system(should be before vendor folder)
click on App folder(before Bin folder)
select app---> change permissions so you can delete
after delete uninstall that app(which you deleted)
reboot and it should be gone

honestly, that makes no sense. please post a picture on image shack or something and link it so we can see

this is not a motoblur device

Hello
I was wondering if anyone could help me. Im using awd lancher and installed an antteck app manager and froze a moto app by mistake, the phone got in to a force close loop which even a restart couldnt fix. I managed to uninstall the app by grabbing time between the forced closes.
Now it says " this is not a motoblur device" when I try to use the moto default home launcher.
I have reinstalled the antteck app which shows no frozen apps.
Would a reset to factory work? My concern is if there is no ADW launcher and motoblur is still not working my phone will not work.
Orange UK rooted on gingerbread stock
Thanks for any help

No, a factory reset just wipes the data partition.
A possible solution
If you know how to use ADB, and know where to acquire the ADW.Launcher APK, then you could do this:
NOTE: You may need root to do this. I have no idea, actually.
Copy ADW.Launcher to your ADB folder and rename it to launcher.apk to make things easier later.
Open Command Prompt, and CD to your ADB folder.
Type "adb remount" to mount /system as writeable.
Type "adb push launcher.apk /system/app.
You could possibly get away with pushing it to /data/app, but I've never tried pushing to /data before.
The app I uninstalled was the antteck app manager used to freeze the app.
I cant remember exactly which app I froze. It was one from a list of apps safe to freeze I found on the XDA forum, it wasnt safe. It may well have been the moto home launcher as I was trying to free up ram for the webtop.
I get the problem when I use home switcher to try to launch the original home rather than ADW
I no longer see the moto home launcher in the app list on the app manager.
I could try flashing with the sbf, but being a noob im not ready to do that unless all else fails.
Any help gratefully received

I just renamed blurhome.apk_fro to blurhome.apk in the system/app folder using root explorer and all has been fixed. It would seem that although I reinstalled the antteck app manager it doesn't search for previous frozen items. It also didn't show up in titanium backup either that can be used to freeze apps, not a criticism just an observation.
Thanks for all the help

Glad you learnt something new. =D
And you should find the "safe" list you referred to and tell them its actually NOT safe.
Ill look for the list later...although it might have been a of stupidity and not on the list at all, I tend to do these things late at night

[Q] can't install keyboard

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.

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.
