I signed up for the beta and got it on my Evo. Now, I am at the point to where I need to choose the Android keyboard (done), Disable swype, and get certificate. After I hit disable swype it takes me to the keyboard settings and tells me to uncheck Swype. I am on MIUI and when I go to keyboard settings there is nowhere to "uncheck" the swype keyboard. I can not get certificate without doing this. Does anyone have an idea on how to do it?

Is there anyway to make swype not autocorrect when I'm typing one letter at a time but allow it to autocorrect when I'm swyping?

Go to Swype settings as indicated in above post, or access them directly from the Swype keyboard, by hitting the flashing Swype key (the finger icon) at the lower left hand corner of the keyboard, then select "Options" from the popup.
Once in the Swype settings, go to Word suggestion, and uncheck "Auto-correction". This is what you want.
This is on by default on the newest beta, where it past versions it must have been off (or functioned differently somehow). I had the same issue, where Swype kept auto-correcting when "tap" typing individual letters, and usually changing it to a word that was nothing close to what I was typing. Especially for names, abbreviations, acronyms, etc. I kept wondering for a few days why Swype was doing that, then I found the proper setting change.

ok i thought if i uncheck auto correct, it would also stop auto correcting my swype words
Also is it possible to change the layout of the keyboard? Like make the spacebar bigger and getting rid of the voice button?

Nope, word prediction while swiping will not be affected.
how to get chinese input in android? I am new to android.
I just downloaded google input IME from market place and installed, it is enabled in settings(languages), but keyboard did not change in messages and browser input. why?
any other apps will work?
The default way to change input method has been changed in ICS. Instead of long pressing at any text entry field, In ICS you will see a small keyboard icon in the left corner from the status bar when the keyboard shows up, then you can pull the status bar down and change the input method from there.
Google Pinyin IME is average. Some better options are sogou input and touchpal input. Sogou does not support ICS at this moment. But touchpal V5 works flawlessly.
I actually set default keybord to google pinyin, but then I cannot enable default english keyboard. what if I want to try other chinese keyboard? is there a way to enable multiple keyboard?
What if I want stock ICS keyboard to have Chinese? Any way I can do that?
I really like the stock keyboard and I don't want to use third party keyboard if at all possible
Also looking for this option....Surely there must be a way to switch to hand written chinese input via the stock ICS keyboard right ??? I realise that 3rd party apps are available but they are all terrible IMHO. Looking for something similar to how iPhone handles Chinese input....any ideas / suggestions ?
i'm using penpower, it not made for ics, as the writing pad does not fit the whole bottom half of the screen, but it works.
updated, just installed the ics version.
google voice input is the best. i use HK traditional.

touchpal is good too. they got chinese pack and handwriting pack.
go to System Setting > Language & keyboard > System Language. Then, scroll down and check PinYin option. You can choose handwriting too.
Later, when you're at a text box you will can toggle between English and Chinese using a "EN" key at left side of your spacebar.

Chinese Input on Kindle Fire
Anybody know which Chinese IME works for Kindle Fire. I root it successfully. Try to install Google PinYin, but it say not compatible with your device. The download button even not available.
Thanks
On my epic when using swype, I would get option to add to dictionary. I don't get that now on stock keyboard or swype
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
