There's no way to disable this is there? I can't stand having icons in the notification bar and it's quite annoying to have one every time I need to type.
I already tried freezing the android keyboard in TB but couldn't find the Japanese IME keyboard to freeze. Don't think it would have worked anyway cuz even with the android keyboard frozen it still showed up in the choices...

I'm not sure you should/could get rid of it. Isn't it the only way to change keyboards "on the fly"(apart from menu)?

Yeah as far as I know.. I just wish they had made it the way it normally is.. Which is long press..

Could you not leave it to system default for no keyboard symbol and then just hold down the mic icon on the keyboard to change it in the fly?

I guess you could "skin" the keyboard icon in framework-res.apk (or wherever that icon is) into a plain black or transparent icon so you can't see it lol.

You can disable it completely. There is a boolean value in framework-res called show_ongoing_ime_switcher. Some people like it apparently so I've made it toggle-able

I don't have the settings key on my Nexus. When I was using an ICS beta on my Desire it was there, but I didn't even realise till now that my Nexus doesn't have it.
I just mucked around with a few settings and found what brings it up, and therefore what takes it away. In the Android keyboard settings menu, the very top option 'Input languages', if 'Use system language' is ticked, then the keyboard icon won't show up. As soon as you untick that and select more than one language at a time, the icon will be there.
That's what brought it up for me, I don't know if there's another option that can make the icon appear, but hopefully that helps someone?

there is still a hold to switch keyboards wihtout pulling down teh notification bar
hold onto the "space bar" on the stock 4.0 android keyboard and the keyboard switcher will pop up
I discovered that by accident just now
Yea its annoying even on honeycomb. I don't need an icon every time I use a 3rd party keyboard.

Apps with an status bar icon will get high priority. So keyboard icon to make sure the kb got the response it needs?

Oh... must be talking about third party keyboards... stock doesn't do that.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Stock would do it if you had more than one keyboard enabled..
The idea of blacking out the icon is a great idea.. I just have no idea how to do it lol...

To get the keyboard icon off, you have to delete the keyboards that you aren't using. When you delete these keyboards the keyboard icon should go away. You have to have a file manager like root explorer. Go to /system/app folder and delete openwnn.apk for the Japanese keyboard and Pinyin.apk for the Chinese keyboard. After you do that, the keyboard icon should go away, it did for me.
Never noticed the keyboard icon until I chanced on this thread. At times this forum can seem a little like the hypochondriac flicking through the medical dictionary to see what's wrong with them. But then again if you are I'll..
I think the reasoning behind it is they want it more user friendly for folks that arent hardcore like you'd find on here. Basically, a long press is a "hidden" function compared to having it show up on the top for switching inputs. I kind of like it that way anyway, besides, it only shows up when you are typing anyway so It really doesnt bother me much.
Annoys me too. For the first few days I kept checking it assuming it was an action item, then finally figured out it was just there in case I needed it. If I could disable this notification, I would.
The problem with changing the bool to hide the ime switcher is that third party keyboards no longer switch. Only the stock keyboard seems to be enabled.

Since honeycomb came out, I have always liked the way the bottom bar worked. So now that ICS is open source, it should be possible to put that bar onto the GN.
Is anybody else interested in it or would it look good? Is there anyone working on it? I can't find anything in the development section.

Cyanogenmod included that in 7. So I imagine there's a good chance it'll be in 9.
Try booting 7 on a virtual machine to look for yourself.
That just moved the notification bar I thought? It worked the same for me, just that it was at the bottom.
I was hoping to have the pop up notifications and the settings etc., then the soft buttons in the left corner..

Just an update to this, it's kind of like what is in the maguro aokp build, where the long press on the settings button gives those options..
Can this be brought to the bottom of the screen like on a tablet? But not just moving the notification bar.. I mean actually having the action bar like on a tablet screen?

so does anyone have this issue, everytime I use the keyboard in the notification bar it says choose keyboard input ( I have two languages picked) So when I go into settings my android keyboard is checked off but its greyed out so I cant uncheck it etc. so the question is does this happen to you guys ? If so is it normal etc etc
If you check only one language, you won't have the icon.
I have 2 languages, thus the icon is up there.

had a feeling if that was the case but wanted to verify, as it was different than previous OS's
Hi,
since two days I have Jelly Bean installed on my galaxy nexus. The first thing that I see ist that the question mark is no longer in the bar above the keyboard after typing any word in. I have to long press the dot to get to the questionmark.
Is there any way to get it back like in 4.0.4?
I know this might look like a unimportant thing but this is the reason I never used swiftkey.
Noticed it too. Quite annoying. I liked having the punctuations up at the top of the keyboard when you hit spacebar. This is surely part of their redesign to do more predictive typing stuff. Which stinks because I was damn fast at the ICS keyboard I thought it was great.
Gonna look around in settings some more...

Check this app out...
Was ripped from the ICS system when I was stuck on Gingerbread...so I purchased the full version.
(Free version is great too).
The full version actually has more features than the stock ICS keyboard with the same fluidity/prediction/feel.
I'd highly recommend it.
Yes, this is one of the "improvements" of Jelly Bean, predictive text. Fortunately, if you're like me and use punctuation more than predictions, just go to Settings>Android Keyboard Settings>Advanced Settings and untick the box labeled "Next Word Prediction".

Hello, I've got my nexus running xenon-hd and I've used the Rom settings to restore the traditional button arrangement I had on my captivate as you can see in the screen shot. My question is, with a menu button and search button now, is there a way to get rid of the three doors that appear on gapps like here in the messaging?
On jelly bean on my galaxy s 1, they weren't there because the phone has physical buttons. Not really a big deal, just curious. Thanks

I don't think it uploaded the picture correctly, trying again.
Nope, no dice, will try from my computer later, but for reference I mean this http://img.tapatalk.com/5224c050-7b59-f27b.jpg
Of course this isn't my phone, I have "menu, home, back, search" as the soft keys. But the three dots beside the attach icon are what I'm asking about removing

Did you ever get a response to this? I have been looking for the same thing. As far as I can tell, it is an AT&T screw-up. I am told it works on the other service providers. But I would also like to have it.
I can get it to the right of the space bar if I use the Swype keyboard. I want to use it on the standard Samsung keyboard.
Let me know if you get an answer.
