Hi!
I'm looking for a way to disable the Samsung Keyboard to go into fullscreen in landscape mode.
I know there is a workaround with XPosed, but my phone is not rooted and I don't want to root it just because of this.
The best way would be to just customize the Keyboard app itself, to think the phone is not landscaped.
Can I somehow achieve this with Samsung Keyboard?
It seems it's pretty deeply integrated that even package manager is not showing it when I run "pm list packages".
Let me know your thoughts.

I know one way of doing this is to use a different keyboard app but I haven't really found one that works as well as the stock one. Although if anyone can suggest a good one which has T9 keys (e.g. [abc] [efg] etc.) that fits well on the screen I'd like to know; I tried betterkeyboard but it took up too much of the screen I found and the keys were abit small.
Back to topic though, has anyone found a way to just get rid of the annoying language bar that pops up when using the hardware keyboard? I tried unticking the 'default input' option but that seems to screw up the virtual keyboard and eventually came back on anyway.
thanks for any help.
There is currently no 3rd party input method that has taken the Sym/áü button of the mini pro into consideration. I have taken this up and helped the author of Smart Keyboard with this problem, and he has said that it is on his to do list. http://www.dexilog.com/smartkeyboard/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=565 Hopefully it wont be to long before this is fixed. Otherwise I find the mentioned Smart Keyboard the one I am most comfortable with. Should give it a go
just install third party keyboard application and make it as default.
I suggest FlexT9.
As the title states, I am looking for something that prevents the on-screen keyboard from popping up automatically, but I am not wanting to fully disable it. I only want the keyboard to appear when I tap on an input field. Some apps do this nicely as is, but a lot of apps I use have this issue of popping up the keyboard when you don't really want it.
I have searched around for a little while now, and I have found nothing. If someone could point me in the right direction, I would be greatly appreciative.
In case it matters, my current device is an HTC One M8, rooted and running Android Revolution HD 5.0, with Xposed Framework, and my main keyboard is SwiftKey.
Bump.
Hi all
I have used a rooted S2 ever since I got it. But with rooting being as it is right now and not wanting to lose fingerprint sensor, trip KNOX etc. I do not want to root for now.
Surprisingly I really like the samsung keyboard. However, just like any other keyboard I tried, it switches to fullscreen in landscape mode. Which on such a big screen is completely unnecessary and annoying.
Is there any way of disabling this without root access? Any way at all?
Thanks guys!... and gals
I would love to know also. ..
Can tasker be used to switch to floating keyboard in landscape?
probably only with root
Hello everyone.
I'm trying to remove Swiftkey keyboard from P20 lite and I'm stuck in search. Can't even find the deactivate option on app. Anyone knows what i can do? The P20 lite is locked in Vodafone network, so the idea is at least disable it if i can't remove it.
Pls help, if posible.

I want to remove the app not the change from Swiftkey to Gboard. Or best to disable it.
You can't.

Not possible with standard procedures because it is a system app and button disable is bluish.
But if you are determined to do it no matter what, you can unlock bootloader and then delete the app.
You can uninstall system apps without root using ADB. Check out this guide to know how:
https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
It's a fairly simple process but you will need a computer to run commands.
Thank you for the screen shot which worked for me on P20 lite. For some reason Swiftkey had "taken over" the phone and forced me to use their keyboard even though I have Avast security installed. It was driving me mad......
Better late than never, but you can go to Settings -> System -> Language and input -> Virtual keyboard -> Add a virtual keyboard, and then disable swiftkey so only Gboard or any other keyboard is enabled. This won't delete the app, but at least hides it everywhere and prevents it from being used at all.
You can also use the Huawei Multi-Tool. It gives you access to a great variety of tools that work with many huawei devices. under miscellaneous gives you access to delete system apps. This process can be done via ADB but it's nice to have an User interface to help along with it. There is two Swift keyboard apps. I deleted both and have not issues. I replaced the keyboard with Gboard.

Other than the lack of notifications due to the agreesive app killing, I have these outstanding gripes I'd love some advice on please:
1. Double tap power button - Is it possible to customize the power button at all? Can I launch the torch for example when I double click?
2. Global Search languageS - So far this always shows as Chinese, would love for it to be English...
3. Do Not Disturb light mode on exit - When the phone exits do not disturb it sets the theme to light, I'd prefer it to always stay as dark.
4. In gesture mode I cannot see a way to hide the keyboard - I use Gboard. Also. I really like the stock keyboard, but I cannot figure out how to default it to qwerty English when it shows - it initially shows a split Chinese T9 type keyboard and I have to press a (Chinese) button to switch it every time...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I've solved #3 by scheduling DND using Breeno Shortcuts and setting the theme to dark explicitly after turning DND off
I came here to ask specifically about #1. This is driving me nuts that this phone is so uncustomizable!
Does Double pressing the power button open the camera, if not what does it actually do?
Currently it opens Oppos wallet. I uninstalled that using an adb command, so now it just turns the screen on/off. Holding it down gives you the option to restart/shutdown or use Google Pay (I installed that instead)
Wow there are some major shortfalls I did not know about before ordering. I am probably just going to return it for a refund. Seems like all the messing around is far too hard to get it just to run like I want it to.
I use the Double press to open the camera all the time.
Yeah, lots of limited functionality. Spent all day on it yesterday removing bloatware and it feels lovely now, but can't change the damn hotkeys... Pain in the bum!

Can you please post the command? Is terrible the oppos wallet.
Thank you
I can't remember the command. Download APK Extractor and scroll down to wallet to find the package name. Something like 'com.coloros.wallet' or something (it probably won't be that). Then follow this guide on how to uninstall the app:
