Stock Keyboard Gone - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

So I was using stock gingerbread/sense 2.1, unrooted, on my INC2 and all of a sudden my keyboard is gone. I installed go keyboard and it works but it really would be nice to have the stock sense which I prefer.
I'm not sure if it can be removed from the ROM and installed like a third party keyboard or not, I really don't know about that sort of thing.
Any help with getting stock keyboard back (preferably without root/resetting the phone) would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried to check if "Android keyboard" is in the Keyboard settings?

It isn't, initially it was a blank box when I clicked on input method, and there weren't any settings underneath.

2 ideas:
1) get into some field where you'd normally enter text and long-press the text field. In CM roms, this gets you the ability to choose from the available keyboards (this doesn't seem to work in Sense-based Roms, though).
2) or... if the Go Keyboard installed itself as a regular application, you might go into Menu|Settings|Applications|Manage Applications, select the "All" tab and look for your Go keyboard. If you find it, click it and in the subsequent screen, scroll down until you find the "Clear Defaults" button. Click this to unset the Go keyboard as default. Then exit back to the main home screen.
Then when you get back to the main home page, open something that requires typing and you may find the ability to select the default keyboard. I'd guess that the regular HTC one is back there.
If that doesn't work, are you rooted and do you have a Nand backup?

I'm not rooted, and it's not that the keyboard was replaced, it disappeared completely so I installed GO keyboard manually.

Have you tried holding the menu button that brings up the keyboard?

This happened to me before I rooted. I took it into a store and they surprisingly checked internet forums for an answer. Anyway, the solution was a factory reset. This was extremely annoying and is what motivated me to initially root my phone.

I rooted my phone because I had google services framework delete itself 3 times, requiring a factory reset each time. Also, one time it randomly bootlooped and required a factory reset through hboot. I was done with losing my data.

Hmm this isn't sounding good for me. However I may be getting an LTE Galaxy Nexus in a bit, so I'll be factory resetting my INC2 to give to someone. Thanks for the help anyway.

This is a known issue with swype. After reboot it will need to be reactivated.

Swype fix
Dont bother going through settings, just open an email or sms, long press on the text box, change input method to touch input, then repeat, selecting swype. It's a little quicker. Hope to see a real fix soon!

You have to take it out to dinner first. Maybe a little Barry White.

Trust me when I tell you that doing this gets REAL old REAL fast. I do it, but it is disheartening to jump through this hoop when you go to do something and realize, ooops, you can't because it turned itself off again.
Have you guys tried fixing your permissions in rom manager or cw recovery? If that doesn't work, uninstall and reinstall. I've has this problem previously and this always fixed it.
I had some issues with a nightly a little while back (maybe 10 or 11?) that all seemed to start with trying to get swype to work and I had to completely wipe and go back to virtuous. I haven't had time to flash the latest nightly yet and try again though...
In the end you're basically running "beta" software on an alpha ROM. All those bugs probably don't play well together - it's a lot of buggy software for one device.

Swiftkey x

Anyone have problems using Swiftkey X on their GN? When I try to install, Swiftkey will let me pick the language in the setup app, but none of the other options work. You hit the button, but nothing happens. I was able to manual set some of the options in "input" section of my settings. Thing is, when I get to step four of the install (choose my typing style), I hit the button but nothing happens and you can't progress any further. Then if you try to customize Swiftkey's settings, an error pops up saying you must complete the installation first.
I can get the keyboard to load, but there are no predictions.
Worked just fine for me.

Haven't had a problem either. I have been using it since I got the phone yesterday morning. Feel silly noting this, but maybe a reinstall?
No problems here.
Also working fine for me.
I actually havent even touched it since using the stock keyboard which is a huge improvement.
had my GN for 2 days now and been using swiftkey x almost from the beginning w/o any issues. i still prefer swiftkey because of the good predictions.
Works fine for me, had Swiftkey X on my phone day one. Haven't experienced any problems.
Thanks guys...An uninstall and reinstall did the trick.

HOX: No LockScreen

Heya.
Whenever I lock the phone with the power button and unlock it, it comes back to the original page where it was before locking the screen. This didnt use to happen before. I used to get a lockscreen, where i wud need to slide the arc upwards to unlock. But its not showing anymore
It does show up once in a while on its own. I have tried killing all the background apps, but still no luck. Have checked the display settings as well as security settings, nothing :/
P.s.: Have not rooted my phone
If i have missed something, or some setting, please let me know how to fix this. Its really annoying to see the homescreen after i press the power button. I want to see the lockscreen always which has the notifications and the arc slider to unlock >.<
Thanx.
Try to root back your phone, download terminal editor from market, and there must to be an option to repair or smtn your lockscreen. Then unroot it back and enjoy.
An other option is to root it and open root folder blablabla. Somewhere.
I hope, I helped you

Sense keyboard takes over even after installing Swype

First day with the one x, first thing I did was install swype, the correct way using the official swype installer. I enabled swype, and everything was fine. Then about an hour later without even rebooting or anything, swype was usurped by the sense keyboard. Since then I have been unable to make swype the default keyboard despite the fact that it is turned on. The sense keyboard continues to load instead.

same: i have the swype beta installed and it doesn't pop up when i go to type something. i also have swiftkey 3 installed...not sure if that's hindering it or something.
when your keyboard is activated, you should be able to select input method in notification list

Yes, just pop down notification centre and select your keyboard.
It's working great on my one X, I love the themes and they keyboard feels far better than swiftkey.
that seems to work, but i think only temporarily. i will get back to you in a few days. Thanks.
I'm having the same issue, the solution above only works temporarily, but after a while it goes back to Sense.

Phone app vanished from lockscreen following update

So after my phone got the kitkat update, the phone app on my lockscreen no longer works. It instead displays the little droid like when you have an icon for an app that's no longer installed. Maybe the app just changed locations with the update, because I definitely still have a dialer app. But I use the stock lockscreen and I can't figure out how to change the four apps at the bottom so that I can replace the bad phone one.
Any ideas? It's preventing me from making calls from the lockscreen, which blows if I'm trying to quickly pull my phone out while driving or something.

Remove the phone from your dock on the stock launcher, and re-add it.

Oh, that actually worked. I have nova launcher so I literally never touched my stock one for more than five minutes after turning on the phone for the first time.
Thanks!
