So I don't mind SwiftKey, or I wouldn't if it wasn't for the issues it's causing.
The problem for me is I use my phone as an authenticator through the SIM Toolkit app.
This requires a password, this password contains the symbols * and # which are missing from the keypad when using swiftkey, gboard, you name it.
Isn't there supposed to be just a stock keyboard? If not, can I install a stock one?
* and # are both on the “123” tab of SwiftKey.

does this rom support chinese input?
i have flashed this rom yesterday and i try to text my friend in chinese, it shows "message may be corrupted on recipient device. change input mode to automatic"
but i cant find automatic in language input menu.
is there anyone can help?
There's no Chinese input, but you can download google pinyin keyboard from the market. As for the warning when texting, just ignore it, I can still send Chinese SMS fine.
1.4.0 is out too
Hi everyone, I have a problem relating to decryption... I simultaneously attempted to decrypt my i9100T (4.0.3, root) and remove the stock keyboard app (I have Swiftkey, so removing the Samsung app seemed to make sense). However, for some unknown reason the decryption failed because I am still prompted for my decryption key at bootup. This is a problem because I no longer have the stock app to input the key and I can't select Swiftkey. Further, I did do a Titanium backup before rooting so I still have the stock app on the internal memory, but it's obviously of little use at this point...
Is there some way of making Swiftkey the 'real' default keyboard, or mounting the phone to a PC and inputting the key? Otherwise, I guess I could attempt a JB flash and get the new stock keyboard, the problem with this being that all the links I have found for T-variant modems on JB are broken. A 4.0.3 reflash seems so redundant...
Any help appreciated Cheers
I've installed a custom Rom [Chaos] without a keyboard, and then flashed my favourite keyboard, Swiftkey, via CWMod.
During the Phone Startup wizard, this keyboard wasn't active, so I had to skip all the steps.
One of the steps was entering your name ("for personalising the phone").
I've gone through and manually configured everything else, but I can't find anywhere to enter my name in this way.
Does anybody know how I can configure this?
just curious - why do yo need it?
This is normally Security > Owner info (I think)
Just a note, I would not recommend removing the stock keyboard or launcher. These are essential for fall back if something goes wrong. Even if you're flashing a keyboard to /system/app, it's best to keep stock handy.
The steps which I took are:
Encrypt
Set Password
Install custom keyboard
Disable Google Pinyin Keyboard
Restart
Password input is unavailable
Wiping with the exception of cache does not work, possibly due to the encryption.
I am running the stock recovery as that updated by itself after the encryption.
I have found a Google keyboard which I don't know how to flash onto the ROM.
Thank you for your interest,

I completely removed Google Keyboard from stock rom (Moto X Play, 6.0.1) and installed Hacker's Keyboard instead. Everything works fine, but when phone boots and the screen appears where you have to enter the password to decrypt the device no keyboard is present on screen. I can go around it with USB OTG and physical PC keyboard but this is not something I can do anytime as I don't carry the keyboard with me. Is there any way to use custom keyboard to decrypt the phone or is it somehow set to work with Google keyboard only? Hacker's Keyboard is installed in /system/app if that matters. TIA
