Hi all,
Im sorry this is a very stupid question but I can't figure out how to change from htc keyboard to any other.
I mean, I've downloaded a couple of keyboards from the market, ticked "on" on the desired keyboard in language and keyboards settings but I can't disable the default keyboard and so have no way to use the others..
What am I missing ?
Thanks for your answer

Okay I'm sorry I just managed to change keyboard..
The option to switch input was available in the settings of the new installed keyboard.
Not available in every keyboards though.

I guess you always have the option to change it in:
Settings - Language and keyboard
Whenever you open the keyboard to type, you will see a small 'keys' icon on the top left corner of the status bar. Pull the status bar down and select to change it.

Hello!
i use two languages when typing and since we have a hardware keyboard i would like to ask if there is a hardware key to change between those two languages that i use...i am on CM 6.1.1 currently!
Maybe i didnt phrase it correctly..
I meant,is there a way to switch between languages from the hardware keyboard?
Because having to close the hinge, rottate the phone to on screen keyboard and then switch, to go up and pull out the keyboard again..

Perhaps look into using one of the quick keys into being a toggle?

Nevermind, found it ... select an unassigned quick key, select continue, select settings, select language and keyboard settings.
It won't act as a toggle (without programming a script and installing it) but it'll let you jump between the two via the HW keyboard

nothing happens with this, it just lets u select which languages u wanna use on the osd keyboard..
Just fyi...in sense roms the language switch is the magnify lense button (long press) that switches betweeen the selected languages...still struggling to find anything similar for CM roms though :/
Hi..I run into question like this before...kind of annoying little issue
One less hassle way to switch is long press(same as what you do when try to select text for copying) the text box then a a tiny window will pop up for input method option. in there you can change your input method so you hardware keyboard can be used for other input method.
And if the second language input happen to be Chinese. Suggest you use sogou input.
You only have to long press the text box once and switch to sogou input...and it has build in english mode so you can just use shift+space to taggle between sougo english/chinese mode.
Hi guys,
Im running the RemPuzzleRom 2.2.1, 0.7.2 and I need some help on changing the keyboard...
I've currently got 2 installed, with one selected in Settings -> Language and Keyboard, but it does not activate and still has the old ****ty one.
Is there a way to bypass this?
Cheers.
Go to any textbox in your phone and longpress it and select input method and than select wich keyboard you want

Long pressing the keyboard just chooses the secondary button :S
He doesn't mean longpress the keyboard, open your text messages,compose new message then long press the actual text box instead of just touching it to open the keyboard, choose input method then choose your new keyboard.

It doesn't seem to do anything, even after 15 seconds of holding it down :S
Scratch that, I didnt have the keyboard enabled (doh)
Thanks heaps fellas
Hey there,
I was used to changing the keyboard easily by long-pressing any text-input possible screen area and then selecting the desired keyboard.
Now I have to go all the way to the settings and change the default keyboard to the one i want to use at the time.
Is there any way to change this in a smoother way?
Cheers

Some keyboards support long pressing space (i think), other way is to select a text field and then pull down notification bar and select the "select input method" there.
/Edit:
Stock Keyboard support longpressing space, SwiftKey X does not

Yes...the notification bar seems to be the way...hmm still preferred the old way
This is getting annoying!
I've installed Smart Keyboard PRO, and I am unable to select this as the default keyboard.
Usually I long press in a text box to select an alternative keyboard but it is not working. Any ideas?
Go into settings, language and keyboard to activate your other keyboard.
Then when using the normal keyboard you can swipe down from status bar and select input method.
Hope this makes sense.

i had already activated but didn't know to swipe down!
thanks a million
for you
First, install the keyboard and enable it in keyboard settings (slide to "on").
Second, when you are actually typing in a textbox of some sort, there should be a keyboard notification up at the top of the screen - if you select it, it will let you choose input, and you can select which keyboard to use.
Smart Keyboard Pro is fantastic for typing but horrible for predicting/fixing mistakes
Don`t forget to push thanks
Just curious while we're at this subject, I find the stock HTC keyboard in HOX to be weak in predicting as well. Have seen Galaxy Nexus's stock ICS keyboard instead and would prefer that.
Is there a way I can use the stock ICS keyboard on HOX? If yes, how can I download the stock ICS keyboard and install for use?

Hi.
Is there some possibility, to activate arrow-keys (left, right, up, down) in the codefireX keyboard, as in the htc-sense-keyboard ?
Also: How do I hide the keyboard on some input-field ? HTC-original has a key bottom left to hide it !
Thanks
Micha_he
e.g.: The 'HTC_IME MOD v30' does not work unfortunately with JB4.2 !
No, but codefireX has an option to enable left and right keys in the navbar (if you enable it) and/or use volume keys to move the cursor left/right. If you must have all direction keys in the keyboard, use a keyboard that has the feature like SwiftKey or SwiftKey Flow Beta (if you want swiping).
To hide the keyboard in an input field, just press back.

Ok. I will wait for a new version of "HTC IME MOD"-keyboard.

Lol. I'd suggest you try SwiftKey Flow. It's a million times better than the HTC keyboard.

Ok, ok. I'll take a look to SwiftKey Flow. But the video and the screenshots i have found, show no cursor-keys
I've had a look to 'SwiftKey Flow Beta'. It's right, you can add the cursor-keys at the bottom of the keyboard, under the config-options.
Thanks to sashank....

Many of the 3rd party keyboards in the Play Store have an option to add arrow keys. Another really nice one, if you don't need gesture typing, is Smart Keyboard Pro.
