I have just installed the Midnight ROM 4.1 and now am trying to get the Vlingo Keyboard to present itself as an option when you long press on say a search window. This only keyboard option I get is MTM Gingerbread. Any suggestions as to how to get this keyboard option?
Settings > Locale and Text > Check Vlingo Keyboard.
Now, go into messenger, long press on any field to type and select input method, check vlingo and you're good to go!
Note: This will only work if you've installed Vlingo beforehand.

Thank you very much.... I figured it was user error.

for me anyway it doesn't work (green letter suggestions) on google search widget, on internet, or on market search. Does work on email, 3Banana app and messaging.
Is that how others find it?
Keyboard
That seems to be the default behaviour of the stock keyboard. Try searching and installing the HTC_ime keyboard as it has more configurable options including the one you want!

Install this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=663608
You have option to enable that predictive text on search input, etc.
It is the same as the stock keyboard, but much more features
I have installed it, but can't get it to "select" eg "long press on any text input field" as the install instructions thread says to do.
As in hold my finger on the input box? Does nothing.
As in hold a key? That just toggles it.

needs a re-start
Hey guys,
I noticed that the keyboard settings icon that was included in the keyboard itself in 2.1 is actually missing now in 2.2. I used to jump to keyboard settings using that icon when I wanted to disable/enable the prediction feature, Because sometimes I need to write some uncompleted words as in MSN app, Twitter app and Facebook. So is there a way to get that icon back to the keyboard instead of going all the way to main menu and then settings then keyboard settings then I change what I want ...?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Note: the icon I'm talking about was located on right of the keyboard hider icon.
In a word, no - it's no longer there as it's now the 'multi-language' icon. Only way is to go into the main settings via the menu (never use prediction so not an issue for me)
OK thanks for replying and help.
Is there any way that the Developers here can make something to get it back on?
Thanks anyway, it's not something that I can't live with. But it's really annoying to go all the way to the main menu to enable or disable the prediction feature.
Just press the 'multi language' key and at the bottom of the menu that comes up is a settings button.
Two issues with this rom:
A) can't get home switcher to stay loaded so that I can switch to Launcher Pro. Is there anyway around this?
B) Is there any way to get rid of the HTC embedded mod keyboard and use Swift Key? There is no setting under KEYBOARD which allows you to choose which keyboard to use?
Thanks, in Advance....

A) Ok do this presss menu>settings>applications>manage applications>press the "All" tab>Scroll down to HTC Sense and tap it> scroll down and select "clear defaults"> now from the Home button on your phone(looks like a house)>A Complete Action Using window should appear> Check the "Use by default for this action" button>then select launcher pro......Laucher pro should be your default launcher now.
B) under settings>Language & Keyboard. Check the box next to all the keyboards to enable them. now open a text or something where you need to type. tap & hold in the text field until the "Edit Text" window appears then select Input Method and then pick your poison....DONE.
Hope that answers your questions bud.
I'm on the current 1.54.651.8 (well, a rooted version of it), and can't figure out how to change input methods, for example, to a 3rd-party keyboard.
It used to be, you'd long-press in an input field, and you'd get a prompt to select the input method.
Some say you should see a keyboard icon in the status-bar.
I don't get either of these. In settings / Language and keyboard, there's no obvious way to change the default device.
Long-press on the spacebar also does nothing (except to repeat space).
Is this maybe broken in this update? (Or in the BadSeed Rooted Stock 1.54.651.8 I'm running?)

If you get SwiftKey keyboard as you set it up it will say set as default might work
Hmm. Well, that worked.
The SwiftKey setup popped up the Choose Input Method dialog that I was looking for.
Then I selected Smart Keyboard as my input method.
I can't see uninstalling/reinstalling this every time I want to change the Input Method though.
Bring up a chat so your keyboard is open, then bring the notification bar down. There should be a keyboard listed, select the icon and choose your input method
So, is it just my phone, or is everyone else completely lacking a personal dictionary? There is no dictionary in the settings or LG keyboard settings, and even if you install the stock Google keyboard from the play store, there is no where to add words/shortcuts. Is this right? Cause that's pretty horrific that LG disables the Google keyboard dictionary/shortcuts and provides none of its own for you to add words.
PS, I know I can type in the word and click add, but there's still no place to add shortcuts, and no way to manage the words individually. I even have dictionary sync enabled in the latest Google Keyboard, but with no dictionary on the phone, it does absolutely nothing.
Click on word suggestions if it's checked.
LG Dictionary
You also need to click on the text of Suggestions to see the dictionary. However, when you open the dictionary, you still won't be able to create shortcuts. That function is blocked.
I'm not sure about the LG Keyboard (as I've uninstalled it on my phone) but, if you install the Google Keyboard, you can go to Settings>Language & Input. Next, click on the settings button for Google Keyboard and go to Text Correction. There you will find the Personal Dictionary and options to add shortcuts.
Hope this helps.
You can create a shortcut to the user dictionary for the LG keyboard using quickshortcutmaker. You can also use Google keyboard to make entries in the user dictionary with shortcuts that will then work with the LG keyboard.
It's now under Settings > Language & Imput > (your keyboard name ie: LG Keyboard) > Word Suggestions > Personal Dictionary
