Strange Google Keyboard autocorrect issue - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This happens on the Google keyboard as well as the AOSP one.
The keyboard's great at suggesting appropriate corrections, but about half the time, they're not inserted when space is pressed. Sometimes they are, sometimes they're not. See the screenshots for details.
It's really annoying and happens with every rom I've used in the last few years, including KitKat and Lollipop. I don't want to have to switch to another brand of keyboard...but I guess if I have to I will. I've tried editing the personal dictionary, clearing the cache, reinstalling the keyboard. It has happened on multiple phone types, and with different roms and android versions. Anyone else?

This thing sucks, i loved google keyboard under kitkat, now it's a pain in the ass with this system, think for example if you are writing on a forum and the text on the site is too small... you simply can't use this keyboard now.
It doesn't show the current word in the centre anymore.
I really hope they will fix this sh..t on android 5.1-5.2

App works but icon is blank.

I'm having this problem recently, it rarely happens, but it happened to the below apps recently, it's quite annoying as Android doesn't hide the notification bar and it's quite annoying when playing Gangster Wars as I can't see the how much money I've saved.
I restarted the phone couple of times, even tried UID fixing (I know it's used for FC problems) still no luck, and Aldiko book app just recently had it happen.

It's quite annoying is it possible to fix it? Thanks.
Are you using apps2sd?.... maybe a corrupt SD card? Have you tried just re-installing the apps? You might lose your game data but may still be worth a try.
Dont know what else it could be sorry.

what the heck are these?

for the past several days i keep getting these popups browsing this site and only this site in firefox. what gives?
they get some ads injected that are trying to put crap on my pc or what? not blaming xda at all, just looking for an answer.

ignore the second one, i figured out what it is, though i have no idea why it would randomly pop up while idling on xda. still confused about the other
ya, that's definitely not normal. It sounds like you may have malware or something if multiple things are popping up like that, but please please let them know in this thread here in case it's one of the ads here acting up.
i think i've got it sorted out. seems it was a combination of things. one being a jacked up firefox add-on, the other being a tiny piece of malware that was only detected by today's Symantec definition release

Can anyone compile libskia.so or libharfbuzz.so for Atrix?

SO here's the problem! CM7/Gingerbread cannot render Bangla/Tamil/Hindi and a handful of other languages. However, when Samsung released their smartphones they specifically compiled those two for their devices and that could render Bangla/Hindi/Tamil.
Let me explain clearly. The Tamil character "தி" is a conjunct of two characters and instead of getting displayed as "தி", it will be displayed as "த ி" without space in between. So we can't read anything on facebook/twitter. Only way is to use Opera Mini which everyone doesn't like.

The solution is simple in my mind. Just to take those libskia.so or libharfbuzz.so from any Samsung Specific firmware (Suppose Y Pro Duos: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-B5512&pcode=INU#firmware) and compile them for our Atrix.
It can be done in my thought. As Krystian/Epinter/mmountouri already have done so much advanced work! However, if this problem is solved, it'll be a huge milestone for Asia specific countries because 50% of the majority still use Gingerbread. And if I get the support, I will need JB a bit less.

Strange app keeps downloading to device

A strange app keeps downloading to my device, and nothing has changed as far as installed apps go.
I keep deleting them, but they just keep coming back.. I know it can't do any harm when not installed, but the fact it's downloading with no prompt is annoying and worrisome to me, as I tend to value virtual security more than most anything else.

Why is there multiples of just one app, What device are you using by the way? Looks like a Samsung device based on the Nav bar and Status bar.

Webviews seem to ignore system font settings, and I'm not happy with their font.

Hi everyone
My current phone, which is an LG K10 running Android 7, uses Roboto for English content and Noto for others. For Korean text, that looks 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_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
On the G8X with Android 9, latest Sprint firmware G850U10h, it's using some font I don't recognize, and I really don't like it:
Changing the system font seems to only affect the native UI elements and leaves the content of the webview alone:
I've been reading around and it seems the only way to really change fonts is to root, which isn't available for this phone yet.
I've been trying to set up this phone to my standards and tastes over the past few days and I've been encountering roadblock after roadblock after roadblock, and I'm beginning to resent it and regret buying it.
Any suggestions or am I just stuck? I can't believe such a simple change is met with such limitations.
Another screenshot demonstrating it's not just one bad app:
Thanks for reading.
