[Q] Keyboard and Launcher Pro Issueswith Calkulins 2.1.8 - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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....

With the latest updates (HTC_IME mod keyboard) I have no use for the Android / Verizon keyboard is there a way to uninstall this? I have checked in apps but its not under Android Keyboard or Verizon?
Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance

I can find the Touch keyboard (I think) and the HTC_IME mod but not the Android one..
its not a problem having the keyboard its just nice to free up some phone memory...

[Q] What is the easiest way to switch launchers?

So, what is the easiest way to switch launchers. I can't find a reference to current launcher in settings. I loaded launcherpro (and love it), but I was able to hold down home initially, and it would ask which launcher to use for stuff, but I changed it to default. Now I don't know how to switch back to sense, without deleting launcherpro. Any easier way to do this?
Go into settings>apps>manage apps>then go to HTC sense and launcher pro and select clear defaults in each one. Then when you press home it will ask you to select which to use.

I use OD as well, though 4.0.2 and Pro Launcher Plus.
Have you checked the preferences of ProLauncher?
when at home screen press menu and preferences, go to "behavior settings" and click "home key action". What is it set for? mine is for "Open/close screen previews"
...thx for answering...
yeah i've the same settings. so that can't be the reason of the problem. i think there is a more dominant setting of od. but i didn't find it. there is just the possibility to change the settings if you hold the homebutton.
another way to solve the prob?
it really sucks.
i think he means, that launcher pro can't be set as standart launcher. so the the standart android launcher activates every time pushing the home button...
try an app called 'home switcher'
yeah i'm using homeswitcher
problem already solved.
Hi, could anyone be so kind and tell me where the hell I can find the opendesire 4.0.4
file to download without any problems etc etc.
Thank you

[Q] Custom keyboard EI22 GB

Devs/XDA buddies,
I have tried looking with no success(Forgive me if I have overlooked). I am looking for a custom keyboard (like GB's) with swipe but with the English/Spanish button removed and the swipe tutorial removed. With these two buttons removed it would make an awesome space bar. It seems like I am all the time hitting the period or comma in error. I have tried some other keyboards from the market and they are a little odd for me.
Thanks in advance for your help!!

not really sure but i use better keyboard when i do use my screen as a keyboard bought it a while ago but dont know if it has swipe functions like swype does. have you tried to look in the settings menu to remove these languages? i dont use swype nor do i really like the default layout but i am sure there is a fix for your discomfort. there are other keyboards in the market that offer some sort of swype-like functions!

Thanks for your help.. I have went through all the settings.. There is a setting that even ask you what you want for your primary language.. If you chose that option it still has the button enabled. Usually to get to the keyboard settings you can long press the English/Spanish button to get to your lang settings..same with the tutorial button. There is a setting to disable it but it still works. hehe.. But yeah i am still in search for a decent keyboard even if i have to sacrifice swype..
gb keyboard is nice although i dont know if it has a swipe function but yeah, np, check out the market and have fun experimenting! If you're like me i just download all that i think might be the one and definitely delete the ones that prove no purpose or have memory leak bugs or any bugs i prefer not to work around!
Go keyboard has swype and a nice sized spacebar. That might suit your needs.

Thanks for your advise.. Been trying to use the Go keyboard for a couple days. The interface is lovely. Tried using the swype and its terrible. I am still looking though for a nice new keyboard..

[Q] Auto correct and notification widgets.

Hi everyone!
I've recently bought my beloved Note II in places of an iPhone 4 and I have only two things bugging me.
As you've may already guessed, I seriously need autocorrect.
My experience with other Android devices (namely Motorola Xoom) was perfect minus the astonishingly good performance.
I was able to write quickly knowing that the original Android keyboard will correct every thing for me... but now I can't.
So, is there a way to enable autocorrect on Samsung's TouchWiz keyboard (don't want to lose S Pen functionality)?
Secondly, I only need 5 of the loads of widgets on the notification drawer.
Is there anyway I can modify them to the number and order I want?
Is there any ROM that can fix those problems without losing S Pen apps?
Thank you in advance!
1- No way to enable auto correct in stock samsung keyboard as far as I know. I recommend downloading swiftkey from the android market. It has (in my opinion and many others) the best auto correction/prediction of any keyboard in the world. Granted, it is a paid app but there is a free 30-day trial.
2- You can't modify the notification toggles with stock rom. With certain custom roms, yes.
Just a little info.. the notification thingies that allow enable/disable of wifi/bluetooth etc are called toggles. Widgets are the ones you can put on the home screen.
The problem with having a 3rd party keyboard is when you want to use the S-pen you have to select the samsung keyboard. Try using the continous input option of samsung keyboard, you can swipe which does auto correct / predict.
