I´ve installed another keyboard that I´ve been using in my smartphones for a long time but I cannot find the option to set it as default on the Language & Keyboard settings. On my other phones this was pretty straight forward. How can I do this on the HTC ONE X?
When you're on sms app for e.g. you will see a keyboard icon on the status bar, pull down the notification, you can set the default keyboard.
Thanks. It works.
It´s not very intuitive though as it simply tells you to select an input mode, not to set it as default.
Which ever you select will be the default.

Can anyone point me to a registry key that tells the Phone Keyboard to expand/open when the HTC dialer opens. It was working fine and then it spontaneously stopped appearing. The icon at bottom center is still there and I can tap it to bring it up. But I would prefer the default arrangement where it opens with the Dialer. ROM is XBMod 2.03 but I have posted it here as it is quite possible a generic setting that would be of use to any ROM. To clarify - the Phone Keyboard SIP is selected - that is not the issue. The Problem is that the dialer comes up with is minimised at the bottom.
Rather not hard reset but will do that if the answer is not obvious.
i couldn't find a definitive answer for this, so I'm throwing my question out there:
I just moved to Starburst 1.3.3.4 from LeeDroid 2.3d, and now I find that Starburst, despite having Chinese language support, lacks the Chinese toggle that the stock HTC keyboard had (w/ LeeDroid had too).
Does anyone know how to put in the Chi language toggle? I've tried downloading Google's IME, and although it installed, nothing changed.
You have to change the input since you installed a new keyboard. Open up the keyboard in sms or something and in a text field, right click, well press down for few seconds and menu will pop up, select input method and change it.

Yep, stumbled onto this solution when my finger strayed a second too long into the SMS text box. Whaddaya know, voila! --input method came up, and the keyboard with Google IME I installed showed up.
Thanks anyway, appreciate your dropping by to assist.
When I am trying to write a message or e-mail with my language (Greek in this case) when pressing on the natural keyboard the S or the G it thinks that I am pressing the shortcut buttons, but I am in the text area trying to write..
Every other letters are fine except those which are shortcuts.
So everytime I press S for example, it goes me back to messages. And G goes me to Gmail. (And something else I don't know which shortcut is that goes to browser.. anyway.)
If I switch to English from Settings it's all fine.
It's a bug, or a configuration some where I don't even know and I can change it?
(searching menus all day...)
Not on cm7 or a normal android rom right now so I couldn't tell u the exact setting (different on each ROM) but what you're looking for here is "quick launch buttons" or "quick launch keys" and clear them all.

Go into manage applications and go to the phone / dialer app. There will be a "Clear defaults" option. Next time you press teh icon, you should have that prompt again.
For some reason my LG G4 has an issue keeping the default app settings for basically everything. When I install Textra SMS and set it as the default SMS application it stays as the default app only until I reboot my phone then it resets to Messaging every time. Same thing goes with the default keyboard but worse as when I set the default keyboard to SwiftKey it only stays default until I hide then reopen the keyboard then it's set to the LG Keyboard again. My phone can't seem to keep default settings for any application and was wondering if anyone else has had this issue or if anyone has an idea on how to fix it.
Thanks in advanced.
