Has anyone figured out how to do this? Under Apps, there is not LG Keyboard app for me to disable.
I don't think you can. Just replace it with whichever one you want and forget about it.

Download Package Disabler Pro from the Play Store. I paid for the app; it's well worth it. After you install GBoard or whatever else keyboard you install, use Package Disabler Pro to disable the LG keyboard. PDP will prompt you to install an LG Service app and will need you to set a few permissions before it will give you the ability to disable apps that you'd otherwise not be able to.

I had this app for my S7edge. I didn't realize it worked for other phone brands as well. I did this and now Google Voice Typing is still showing as a keyboard. Would you happen to know how to get rid of this? I'm ultimately trying to get rid of the keyboard prompt that shows up in notifications when I'm typing.
install your keyboard of choice (GBoard for example)
Open settings
Go to Language and Input
Pick the default keyboard option
Hit "select more" if only one or two is shown
Select Gboard and turn it on.
Select LG Keyboard and turn it OFF
You can leave Google voice typing ON if you want.
This will get rid of the keyboard icon in the notification area. You don't have to uninstall, delete, or disable the LG keyboard, just turn it off from the list of available keyboards.
Screen shot of the settings as they need to be set:
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Screen shot immediately after when using the Gboard keyboard. You can see the icon for the previous screnshot is still in the notification bar and there's no keyboard there.
edit: cool just noticed the incognito underlay on the keyboard.

It is hiding.
Under Language and input you'll see "keyboard & input methods"
The first item is "Default"
select it.
Then look closely at the modal window that pops up.
It'll say "Change Keyboard"
It may list one or more options
then say "Cancel ... Select More"
You want select more.

Cool! I got to that screen. I shut off the LG board but I still saw the keyboard icon in my notification area whenever the gboard popped up. Turns out I also had to disable the Google Handwriting keyboard too. Now that silly icon doesn't show up! Thanks!

I wish to change the 2 shortcuts at the bottom of Gingerbread default home screen (Phone, Browser) to something else (Messages, Gmail). But I couldn't find a way to change those icons either by press and hold on the shortcut, or by dragging icons from the Apps screen.
What's the best way to change them without using 3rd party launchers?
Thanks.
On 2.3.5 Samsung Galaxy Mini I just press Menu key in app drawer and then edit to change Touchwizz launcher shortcut.
I am not totally sure if I can remember right, as I do not use the stock GB launcher at the moment, but have you tried using the menue button while the app drawer is opened?
try going on the app drawer,press the options button near the key and press Edit and then try and drag them
If you have the stock Gingerbread launcher, it is not possible to change them. You could try an alternate launcher like LauncherPro.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Thanks for the idea, I tried to open menu at app drawer, show only:
- Manage applications (equiv to Settings -> applications -> manage applications)
- Search (opens Google search)
- Notifications (opens top-down notification screen)
- Settings (Opens Gingerbread Settings screen)

Alright then, I was using LauncherPro but for its bugs (like stacking icons), and slow load time on my aging machine, I'd rather give the stock launcher a try.

Is this stock Gingerbread launcher or Samsung launcher? The button looks like a Samsung one
Trick is being in the App List when you select the Menu button
Go from the Home Screen into your application list then select the Menu button - you'll now see Edit - View Type- Share App. Choose Edit and from here you can move out and then select what apps you want on the lower home screen. Select the Menu button again and chose Save. Once you are done it will leave your apps in the default view - choose the menu again and select View Type and select Alphabetical Grid - done and done.
For Stock GB 2.3.6 only. Newer Versions don't Require all this BS
Got it figured out, looks like the previous instructions have a missing step
1) Go to all Applications
2) Select "Menu", then select "Customization Grid".. Not Alphabetical or List
3) Select "Menu" and now the "EDIT" option shows up
4) You can Now "ADD" or "REMOVE" Shortcuts from Shortcut Bar
5) Hit "BACK" to stop the Editing function
I found the answer to your question!

Hello,
I wonder if it's possible to open keyboard automatically after I swipe up on home button to launch Google Now. Now I need to click on input field on the top of screen to show keyboard and start typing.
Android 4.4, Nexus 4.
was googling for the same request. if someone bring up any solution would be awesome!
Keyboard popping up automatically in Google now
I like Google now. But I like just plain Google search better. I want to swipe up on my phone and automatically have the keyboard pop up and search the web or search my phone for a contact. With Google now on, it requires the second step of clicking on the search bar to open the keyboard. Because of that, I have always kept Google now off, because it would then allow the keyboard to open automatically. The ability to search this quickly with the swipe up feature was my single favorite feature of my moto phone.
But now, with the recent update to the Google search app on android, the keyboard no longer pops up automatically, even if I have now cards off. It just has a thing that says get now cards. This makes me angry. I want the Google search app to primarily be a search app, and open the keyboard when I swipe up. And I can close the keyboard if I want to use Google now.
I really want there to be am option to have it either way.

Did you ever figure out a solution to this? Because a few weeks ago, mine stopped pulling the keyboard up automatically, too. It's so annoying, and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get it to go back to doing it.

you can go to setting, application manager, swipe right to ALL, find "Google/google apps", tap on it, and choose uninstall update. It basically reverts the google app to the oldest version.
I also hate the update disabling the keyboard popup even if I don't have google now card enabled
I'm worried if later I update my phone to marshmallow, I have to tolerate having an extra tap on the google search text bar to activate the keyboard. I like the way it is now, just swipe up from the home button and have the keyboard ready.
Like you guys, I am super annoyed with the latest Google app updates which no longer pop up the keyboard automatically when looking to quickly enter in a search query. Kinda defeats the whole point of a search app, but anyway, I've refrained from updating for this very reason. I'm surprised more folks haven't complained about this and that an xposed module hasn't been created to reinstate this feature.
Has anyone found a solution to this annoying problem?
Before Marshmallow you can takeover the Home Button using "JB EXENOW" and link to the activity (e.g. via "Quckshortcutmaker"): googleapp.(...) queryentry.
This starts the google app with keyboard.
Sadly it doesn't work in marshmallow. I can set the shortcut, which is still working, but JBEXE isnt taking over the home button anymore.
I'm experimenting with "[GB][MM] Physical Button Music Control 4.0 beta6"-Xposed-Module, but until now i can't hook properly on the home button.

tasker solution
i made a profile for tasker that clicks on the search bar whenever the app opens up first.
the only downside is that you will need to pay for the "AutoInput" plugin (and Tasker) for it to work.
its well worth the few quid for AutoInput though. you can use it to toggle stuff like flight mode or NFC without needing to root your phone, switch between the current app and last app. . . or my favourite which is saving a song to a playlist in spotify, which can take ages since i have so many folders and sub-folders to click through each time
i cant post links yet so just do a google search for "autoapps projects" and look for "Google Search - show keyboard" by pymai

There is an easy way to do that using GravityBox and Nova Launcher. You have to go GravityBox -> Navigation bar tweaks (this section needs to be turned on with the master switch) -> Navigation ring targets -> Change Ring target 1 from Applications to Shortcuts -> Choose Nova Action -> Search (the one with the big magnifier icon). Voilà! Now when you swipe up from your home button it will go directly to search bar and open keyboard.
GravityBox 5.4.5 [LP], Android 5.1.1 Rooted+Xposed, Nexus 5
If you're not rooted just install swipeup utility to replace Google and choose quick search..
I'm probably being a bit stupid here, but this my first Samsung device for years. I can't find the enter key on the keyboard! Can anyone tell me where it is?

Hi
a lot of us faced problem that the return key missing in whatsapp. The problem is not with the keyboard setting. One of the many possibilities is with the Whatsapp setting instead.
In whatsapp >> go to settings >> chats >> chat settings >> unclick Enter is Send.
Then the return key would come back. All the best, it took me a week to find out.
yckeric .... you are gr8 ... thanks
i'm having the same issue too but im on the note 4. How do i enter a new line on Google Messenger with stock samsung keyboarD?
You can't, the 'return key' slot is actually an action button specific to each app. Most apps don't define (default:return key), but Google has defined it as a smiley key instead. It has been infuriating me for years, but it seems like a push from Google to use their own keyboard. But even in Google keyboard you have to SYM+return. Only way I (tediously) get around this is to use the pen input to make a new line. Non-Note phones won't have this option though.

I don't use WhatsApp but I just had this same problem on my Note 3, and it turned out to be due to a setting in chompSMS. Two, actually, could cause these problems. The first is in Settings (tap the three dots when viewing your conversations) > Scroll down to Sending and uncheck Send using Enter. If you're having the smiley issue, keep scrolling down to the bottom and tap Keyboard. In that menu it says Smiley or Enter - make sure yours is set to enter. Hope that helps.
On my note 4 edge, on android messages, I find two solutions, using the pen ( was already mentioned before), and the second was using settings (on the keyboard).... my hot keys (on)... and when is asking to assign a text at no.1 I just hit enter.... , and now when I'm writing and I need a new line... just long press no.1.
This is the best answer, and solved the issue.
This was the most precise and useful answer, it solved the issue for me and im sure, for many others too.

Hi guys.
I'm visually impaired. I had used for some years a Tablet Galaxy Tab S 10.5" (2014).
But now I bought a Mediapad M5 PRO, but I have a big problem with this.
I ever had used the 3 press button shortcut to activate inversion colour (accessibility) in my android device (it works fine in IOS too), but now in my MediaPad I can't set a shortcut for this accessibility function. This shortcut is really important for me, I use it a lot of time durring the day.
I tryed some apps to create a shortcut, but it didn't work.
Can you help me?
Thank you guys.
Tasker should allow you to create an action that toggles the Colour Inversion setting. Takes a bit of setup, though, and a bit of adb tweakage. You could then launch the action via a shortcut widget or gesture in Tasker.
The secure setting is called "accessibility_display_inversion_enabled", if that helps. You'll need to run an adb command to allow it to work:
adb shell pm grant net.dinglisch.android.taskerm android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Right, I can confirm that this works. I hope this helps!
Download Tasker from the Play Store
Open Tasker and click on the "Tasks" tab at the top
Click the (+) button in the bottom right of the screen to add a new task
Call the task "Toggle Colour Inversion" and click the tick to continue
Click the (+) button in the bottom right to add an Action
In the "Select Action Category" dialog, select "Settings" then "Custom Setting"
Enter the following:
Code:
Type: Secure
Name: accessibility_display_inversion_enabled
Value: =:=toggle=:=
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You're done, so click the back button in the top left, once to get back to "Task Edit" and once more to get to "Tasker" home.
Select the top right menu drop down and click "Exit"
Click "Save First", in order to save your new task and action
On a home screen with some space, long press the screen and click the "Widgets" button
Scroll right until you see the "Task Shortcut" widget
Drag it onto the space on your screen
When the "Task Selection" dialog is displayed, select "Toggle Colour Inversion"
Click the 9 dot icon in at the bottom, select "Material", filter for "Toggle" and choose an icon for your shortcut
Click the back button in the top left to return to your home screen with your new shortcut, clicking the launcher back button twice to exit widget selection
You should now have a new icon on your screen called "Toggle Colour Inversion"
Now comes the adb part!
You'll need an adb setup - grab one here and install on a PC
Back on the tab, enable Developer options: go to Settings > System > About tablet and tab at the "Build number" until you see a message saying you're now a developer
Go back to Settings > Developer options and turn on "USB Debugging"
Plug your tab into your PC using a USB cable
Back on your PC, open a command line and CD to the adb folder
Paste the following command and hit return:
Code:
adb shell pm grant net.dinglisch.android.taskerm android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Back on your pad, click your "Toggle Colour Inversion" shortcut
Viola!
Click it again to toggle back!
You can drag your shortcut down into the apps bar at the bottom of your homescreen, to make it even more accessible
A bit technical, and Google really ought to make Android accessibility options more, well, accessible!
Thanks a million.
Now it's working!!!
Thanks a million! It's is working fine now.

Hi, It would be great to have an option to automatically open the keyboard when opening the app drawer, so you can instantly start typing/searching without reaching for the search bar first. Any idea on how to accomplish this task on my new s23u, asking for a freshly converted iPhone user missing spotlight.
Thanks!
I use the "home screen only" layout because I'm used to the swipe up to search function with the keyboard automatically opening. (only available without app drawer)

Have you been able to get this to work? When I click on Finder access I get two radio buttons (Home Screen and App screen) and you can't select either.
Maybe you need to disable the home screen only from your regular settings.

Not sure what you mean - I def don't want all my apps on my home screens so I have it set to "Home and Apps screens" in home screen layout. Is that what you mean???
Yeah that's what ment. If you have it like that then I'm not sure why you can't select the Apps screen radio button from Good note app.
Try updating the Home up apk or reset some settings.
Try using the Routines, its pretty powerful for all kinds of stuff like this.

I figured it out. You need to disable "swipe down for notifications" in settings to enable Home Up search. It's one or the other. If you have "swipe down for notifications" enabled, then the radio buttons in Home Up search are disabled.
This then means you need to swipe down from the top of the (very tall) screen to see your notifications. It's not really a good trade-off because you get a lot more notifications than use app search (but good for everyone to know it's an option).
Works ok here with swipe down for notification

Can you elaborate? What I'm saying is that you cannot swipe down anywhere on a home screen for both Finder (App) Search and Notifications. If you enable FInder Search anywhere on the home screen, you can only pull down the notification shade from the top of your device.
Are you seeing something different?
I swipe down from home screen to get notifications, I swipe up to get to the apps screen and then at that screen I swipe down to get the search with keyboard on focus.

Thanks. The issue with this is that the keyboard doesn't appear automatically with the swipe up, which was the question originally asked.
Indeed but this is expected. The Good lock feature explicitly says that you'll need to swipe down from the app screen for the keyboard to show and focus on the search bar.
What you want is to swipe down from the home screen and have the keyboard immediately show?

That's what the OP asked // the title of this thread.
If you put an icon on a home screen (ideally in the dock) for Sesame or Finder App search, that's what happens (you can start searching immediately). That's what I'm doing. 1 click instead of 2.
I know this isn't exactly what you asked, but you might like it as much or better. Use the One Hand Operation + module in Good Lock. You can set one of the 12 gestures to Finder. It comes up with the keyboard active. I use this module to define a screenshot gesture (swipe diagonally up from bottom right), which I find easier and quicker than other methods. I also define back and forward gestures.
There are a lot of interesting actions that can be assigned.
