Can I edit my keyboard list & change my default keyboard?
any help!!!
I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but try SIP change. You should be able to find it here.
I have a Tilt 2 running the NEW ROM.
I want to disable the automatic pop-up of the soft keyboard, so that I get to decide when I want to use it.
Is there a way to turn this feature off?
I have seen references to making changes to the registry, I assume there is a switch in there somewhere, but how does one access the registry? Is there a hidden program somewhere I could start or do I have to download it?
Thanks,
Richard..
You need to download a registry editor. There are various choices out there. I use Total Commander:

The reg edit that I have seen for preventing the soft keyboard from popping up, helps a little. But it doesn't prevent it in all situations.
As Redpoint mentioned, Total Commander is the preferred file explorer for most of us. Task Manager 3.1 is what I use for mobile registry editing. I do try to avoid doing any editing on my device, though. I rather edit on the PC side with the larger screen and less room for errors. For editing the device's registry from the PC, I use CEReg Editor 0.0.5.3.
For disabling the keyboard, you could try an app that I used to use on WM5 with my old Sable. It says it works with WM6, so give it a shot and see if you like it. It's called Nullkeyboard. All it does is add a blank SIP to your device. Select Nullkb from the SIP input button and you're good to go. Here is the link to the download.
I used Advanced Config. It gives you a nice way to select options and features and then change your registry for you. It is AWESOME for a tweaker. I'm using version 3.3.0.0 and it works great on my Tilt2 original OEM ROM.
Using this app, Under the Input category, change "Auto deply SIP" to disabled.
Okay, I downloaded the nullkeyboard and tried, it but it had no apparent effect.
I also downloaded the Task Manager 3.3 (latest version) and it works. I did a search for "keypad", but none of them appear to relate to controlling the pop-up feature.
Does anyone know what registry entry controls the soft keypad pop-up feature?
Thank you,
Richard..

Did you select the nullkeyboard from the SIP selection window that pops up when you press the right side of the soft keyboard icon?
You should NOT be searching around the registry for things to change without knowing what they are. Doing so can possibly screw up your phone and require a hard reset. You should only apply registry changes you see posted on here, and change them exactly as indicated.
The reg edit to prevent SIP for opening:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sip
"TurnOffAutoDeploy" value="1"
NullKeyboard - Oh, is that how it works? Thank you for telling me. It does the job, except for the times I would like to use the keyboard for quik edits, I have to change it back to the regular keyboard first.
REGEDIT - I found the registry key: HKCU\ControlPanel\Sip
but there were no values in it for: TurnOffAutoDeploy
I added the value: "TurnOffAutoDeploy" value="1" (no quotes) with the type REG_SZ and then rebooted the phone. I also changed NullKeyboard back to regular.
This had no effect on the Auto Deploy of the keyboard.
I was hoping the RegEdit would work. The keyboard would be there, but would not pop-up until I wanted it.
If I did something wrong, or you have any other suggestions, please let me know.
Thank you,
Richard..
I think the reg type should have been a DWORD value of 1.
Great! That did it. The keypad stays out of the way and is there if I want it.
Thank you,
Thank you, thank you, thank you, cajunflavoredbob
I have one app in which the pop-up keyboard on my T-Mobile HTC HD2 drives me nuts, and several others in which I could do without it. You gave me the answer that I couldn't find in any of the other threads, and I really appreciate it.
If anyone is watching, this is another tweak that should go in a gathering of such things!!
I doesn't work with me

Has anyone ever experienced needing to change a search query on say the google mobile webpage and having the keyboard (swiftkey) minimise when you need to scroll right (if the search query is too long)? Is there a way to stop this behaviour for the keyboard?
Hi fellow firetv enthusiasts,
first of all thank you for the many tweaks and great progress that is made daily with the firetv box.
With the recent root release the box has finally replaced my ageing apple tv 2.
The only thing that is missing right now is a way to change the input method via the settings in order to employ a keyboard like "null keyboard" and to hide that huge ons creen keyboard.
Has any of you succeded or found a way to get rid of that dreadful huge keyboard box?
Can we use Xposed to modify the settings.apk and unlock language or keyboard settings?
Every input helps and is much appreciated!!!
best regards from Germany
I've seen some keyboard settings while poking around the file system but I'm very, very hesitant to do anything significant until we get a recovery option.
I feel your pain, though. It's ridiculous that Amazon hid this front us.
Null Keyboard app
Try this
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wparam.nullkeyboard
https://www.dropbox.com/s/spsemqwbq95mat9/Null Keyboard-com.wparam.nullkeyboard-5-vone.apk

I had to download it to my phone first.
Download and install Null Keyboard and settings.apk if you don't have it already.
Open settings (settings.apk)
Scroll down to Language & Input
With a mouse click the box for Null Keyboard then click OK
Then click Default - With a mouse then click Null keyboard box
It should now say 'Null Keyboard' under Default
I couldn't get that to work,so here is what I did.
Open ES File Explorer and enable root explorer to gain root access with ES.
Then go to "system/app/" and rename BuellerIME apk and odex to "BuellerIMEx.apk/BuellerIMEx.odex" and now it should no longer torture you by opening randomly.
oh sweet it worked!!! the keyboard is gone!!! i would say this box os perfect now
thank you!!!!

I have installed Google Play on my Fire following the instructions on You Tube -
The normal four files as per Dylans Tech video
Now I get a pop-up asking me to update the Dictionary.
However, I can find no mention of this in Settings, not there !
I did read that on an Amazon Kindle it gives no facility to add/delete words to this dictionary. Is the the same with the Fire ?
Any ideas how I can get rid of this Dictionary update message, as it appears each time I power up, very annoying.
Solved
Go to:
Settings
Language and settings
Select keyboard
Keyboard settings
Personal dictionary
Under the English language option it will read something like " download waiting to update dictionary"
