I'm using avalaunchs 2.2 sense ROM, and while I don't have a problem with sense itself I can't stand the keyboard. However all my attempts at installing the regular Android latinIME.apk have proved to be unsuccessful. Any advice?

Make sure you
enable in settings > Language & keyboard
then long press on a text box and select input method and select the keyboard
see that's the thing. the first time i tried i got the android keyboard option to show up in the L&K settings but it would just FC on me. Trying to install latinIME.apk from the phone itself just doesnt install.
Is this possible? I'm interested in the same but Google searches are coming up short. I ripped latinime.apk from the cm6 final ROM if you try to install it an error pops simply stating "Application not installed."
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
and you have tried other keyboards like the droid swipe or my favorite Smart keyboard ???

Sure I've used other keyboards. I'm using swype right now and have a soft spot for SwiftKey too. The default Android keyboard is awesome because it's just a keyboard. Nothing special. Like a typewriter lol
So I figured, why not try and see if it works on a Sense ROM.

Is there a free terminal app where special characters work as well? I tried the one from the market, but it didn't work.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I use terminal emulator by Jack Palavich(sp?)
EDIT: Only thing I have noticed is while using swype for some reason it won't go back to allow me to fix misspelled words. So, I have to use the stock keyboard instead. Just a heads up
That's the one I tried, but I couldn't figure out how to set the control key.there is no alt key etc on my key board. Any ideas?

For an app, I recommend ConnectBot since it can also do SSH.
As for the control key, look in the Market for "Full Keyboard". It's just what its name implies, but it's definitely not for day-to-day use outside of a shell (veritcal only, 2.1 AOSP keyboard based, cludgy).
Connectbot is nice, but I don't have any access to ctrl keys either - not even with full keyboard. Am I blind? I need to be able to control vi for example.
Any other ideas? Thanks again in advance!

Is this what you are talking about.... http://androidforums.com/motorola-droid/25956-ctrl-key.html
Sorry for the double post but I wanted to make sure it gets noticed.
While in terminal emulator hit menu>preferences there will be a setting "Control key". It allows you to choose your own control key.
EDIT: By default it looks like it is set to Jog ball.
There is a control key in Full Keyboard. Press the 123 key to see symbols and numbers, then press Dpad to see the editing keyboard, then press Ctrl to see the Alpha keyboard again, but this time, with ^ prefixed to each character (aka, each character is really Ctrl+*character*)
Thanks, but the four choices don't work for my keyboard. I guess I have to go with full key board then.

I have SwiftKey 3 installed, and prefer that over the Samsung and google keyboard, but every time I restart the phone, I have to manually switch it to the SwiftKey 3 keyboard which is really annoying. Is there a way to de-activate all keyboards except the one I want? In the settings, all the keyboards are checked but all are greyed out meaning I can't unselect them.
Also, on my HTC phones, they allowed me to view a new SMS from the lockscreen, is there any way to do that here?
And is it normal for the screen/letters to "tear" almost like they're refreshing as I am typing a SMS? I notice when I type, the letters tear (think screen tearing)
Same thing on my stock jelly bean!
We are waiting for new firmware to fix some bugs in last jb

You can freeze the samsung keyboard with TitanBackup (its what I did and i don't have to re-select after rebooting)
The tearing I have noticed as well, not sure on a fix for that. I wonder if its Swiftkey doing it.
Is there any reason not to root this phone? I dont think I want custom roms for this phone.
I always root my phones from HTC so I'm not sure if I want to root the phone if only to just remove bloatware.
Just curious, is therr a steo by step guide to root my T-MOBILE branded S3?

Yes, you could probably find it in the development section. Probably a sticky post.

I've heard this happen to some people, I've have never had this happen to me, and I have 4 keyboards enabled in the settings. Like someone said, if you only use SwiftKey then just uninstall all other keyboards

If it's to just remove bloatware I wouldn't root it, yes it's annoying but this phone has more than enough ram. If you are hesitant and not sure them you should probably not do it.

Can someone please tell me how I can get the Samsung keyboard to stop commandeering my phone? I set the default to Swiftkey and use it for whatever I'm currently doing, then the next time I need to type, the Samsung keyboard is back as the default.
I'd just delete the Samsung keyboard if I knew how, but I can't see a way to do it.
Thanks!

I thought of that, but unfortunately, since upgrading my OS my normal rooting method no longer works, and I'm still waiting for a program upgrade.

Thanks a lot. I just finally got a chance to try this, and it doesn't work (unless I'm missing something again). In Language and Input settings, Samsung keyboard is checked and grayed out so that I can't uncheck it. In application manager, when I select it, the Disable button is grayed out.
It looks like Samsung is set on forcing me to use their keyboard.
I had the issue with the default keyboard resetting on reboot on TW roms. Paid apps don't become available until after the keyboard is set. I'm on pacman now and it stays as default regularly.
It never reset after each use though.

U probably have to have another keyboard selected as default before you're able to do this. Is your phone rooted?
I I decided to do a little messing around on my phone today. The lack of Swype features on the stock keyboard irritated me. Lol So I was messing with build prop.
First you must be rooted, second get a Build Prop editor, or something like ROM Toolbox, third be sure to make a back up in case you mess something up.
Open your build prop and look for these lines: ime_trace_apply and ime_trace_menu. Tap one to open it up and you'll see Property Value:false and Default Value:false. Click the selection box under Default Value and change it to true. Save and go back into the build prop.
Do the same thing for the next line. So now both of your items (ime_trace_apply and ime_trace_menu) will read True. Be sure to save Build Prop and reboot. Once you do that, try to use the keyboard.
You should see a quick pop up explaining what Trace Input is. If you don't, then check in your setting and make sure you have it checked. That's all there is to it. I'm so much happier with the stock keyboard now.
*Try not to screw up any settings please!*
FYI - I am not responsible for you messing with your Build Prop, screwing up your device, bricking it or Grumpy Cat coming to your front door, to call you a failure.
***Edit - in the example provided, ROM Toolbox Lite was used. ***

1. Because I like it.
2. Because it has a dedicated Number Row.
3. Because it has built in Emoji's.
Swiftkey is supposed to get #2 and #3 soon, until then...see #1 - #3.

This is very cool! Why would they hide this feature?
I also like the dedicated number row... Only complaint is that the space bar is too narrow (I also have that complaint for the swype keyboard).
I've been using Kii - space bar is wider, and it also allows you to backspace after autocorrect to revert to the original word (if you don't want it uncorrected). But I'd switch to stock full time if only the space bar were wider.

I'm looking for the value for the brightness slider in the notification drop down, it might be in the frameworks it self. Actually if you play with the xposed modules it will bring it back but the minute you slide it, it will crash the system UI

I wonder if they have an agreement with Swype to allow it to be the only tracing keyboard installed by default?

I had this problem too. I ended up using the GravityBar module in Xposed, which happens to have the feature to slide your finger across the statusbar itself to change brightness (under Statusbar tweaks, at the bottom). Works perfectly, no crashes. Not sure if everyone will find this to be an acceptable alternative, though.
Weird cause Swipe was enabled by default on the Verizon model. I actually had to go in and turn it off in the settings.
So funny how the G2 does all these great things yet every version this, this, and that disabled. It would be cool to find a rom that has everything enabled to let US pick and choose what features we want to use.
It's like the AT&T version doesn't have launcher themes. I'm not sure if they even have Keyboard, SMS, or launcher themes. Those are pretty buried too.

I was waiting a bit to see if anyone else reported an issue, because I don't want to come off as a noob . Anyways, I'm using the same Build.prop editor that you are using in your screenshots, but my changes to ime_trace_apply and ime_trace_menu are not saving. I'm rooted, so I'm not sure what's wrong. Any ideas why I can't save? I'm wondering if some other mods are causing conflict....namely: Auto Hide Softkeys, LMT, and G2 Xposed. Thanks in advance!

Yes it does. I've group messaged several times.
Except I use Hangouts now for primary messaging... although I found the stock SMS app more feature rich (and has the popup sms). Hangouts just has the AOSP feel to it, plus it keeps my actual hangout chats in one place = 1 less icon on the desktop.
The LG Stock Roms are pretty feature thick, its just hit and miss what each variant has enabled. AT&T disables the Launcher Themes?! Some disable Group Messaging?! Some have a QuickApp Stock Browser that is windowable (Verizon doesn't have this)?!!!! Some have FM Radios?!
Just gimme everything please!

You may need to change your system to RW (read/write) as it may be on RO (read only) right now.
