[Q] Switch keyboard types easily?

I'm sure there used to be an easy way to change the keyboard type on the DHD, without having to go into Settings ie switching between QWERTY/Phone Pad/Compact.... I can't remember where this was.
Anybody know?
Hold down any text input box whilst selected, press input method and then choose your keyboard. Note that only the keyboards you have enabled in settings will appear.

When I hold down a text input box I just get the paste option... unless I'm misunderstanding...?
Thanks.

Do you have other keyboards installed AND enabled in Settings > Language & keyboard ?
Well, I've got the three standard HTC keyboards listed there... I don't see where one enables them as such, just a radio button to select the one you want to use.

Oh, I mis read your post. As already said before, it's that hard to change on Android.
The workaround is to install an additional input method; I installed Swype. So I have qwerty on Swype and switch to phone-keypad on the default keyboard.

Miui doesn't use an apparently drawer, you just swipe your screen to either side and all your apparently are on the home screens, so if you have Widgets, you'll see the apparently and Widgets on your screens

That you can restore with setting green colored. (one is for lock screen wall paper etc, another for setting menu)

Using titanium to backup home screen
. I just lost all my home screen settings . Essentially I had clubbed apps relevance together and create custom categories on my home screen.
And after rebooting and recreating mount script of link to sd I lost everything on the home screen. How do I use Titanium to backup my custom home screen clubbing off applications
All I see in that titanium app is option to backup individual apps what is the option that will backup home screen customisation in full detail

[SOLVED] Trebuchet settings on HOX in CM11

Hello world,
unfortunately I can't post directly in the CM11 thread, as this is my first post here.
I am running the latest CM11 nightly (2014-02-04) on my HTC One X. Since the Launcher3 -> Trebuchet migration I fail to see how it is possible to access the Trebuchet settings.
From other devices it seems to me that there should be a "Home" entry in the settings. However, I can't seem to find it on our HOX.
(a) Am I blind and just can't find it?
(b) Is this a problem specific to my device, i.e. do you guys have "Home" settings?
(c) Is this a problem concerning CM11 for HOX in general?
Any help would be highly appreciated.

So you do have a "Home" menu in your settings? Where should it be? Can't seem to find it on my device.

Just in case someone else walks into the same problem: "Settings -> Home" is not available when there is only one launcher (Trebuchet) installed. There is no way to edit Trebuchet settings without having to install a second launcher.
Ugly solution: Go to Play Store and install a second launcher, then the missing menu items suddenly appear.

If you click on Settings has gone home, and for a time was back there at the bottom of the menu Trebuchet settings now only the search icon.

Lock screen app icons after 5.01

After upgrading to Lollipop, there are 5 icons at the bottom of the lock screen but I can't find where the preference is to change them.
Thanks for any help.

Similar problem, but with encrypted phone
I am having a similar issue, but my problem is that my phone is encrypted. I am able to use the smart lock feature to access the swipe to unlock screen with the icons at the bottom, but I can't customize the icons because the menu is not available while the device is encrypted. Is there another way to change this screen? I know I have been unable to find one.
I've also tried decrypting the device temporarily to change the lock screen, but the device refuses to decrypt. It sits for hours at the LG menu after restarting to decrypt, and I finally have to pull the battery to restart. After I do so, the phone operates as if it was never given instructions to decrypt. Any suggestions?
