Disabling Stock Keyboard - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

This has probably been asked before, but is there a way to disable the stock keyboard in ICS? I just switched to using the new Swiftkey and the little pop up in the notification bar is driving me crazy.
I went into Keyboard settings and unchecked the Selector Notification...but for some reason, it still shows up. Anyone know how I can make this go away?

If you are running stock, no. But some roms have added it as an option to remove that.
good day.

I'm running ParanoidAndroid. I disabled the notification indicator...but it still shows up, probably because the stock keyboard is still enabled.

You can rename or just delete system/app/LatinIME.apk and if you don't use google voice typing then untick it in language and input.
good day.

Just disable the stock keyboard in applications...
EDIT.. Once you disable "Android Keyboard" in applications, you have to reboot.
Google Voice Typing is still an option though.. so you may have to disable that too if the notification appears.
Second edit... after unchecking Google Voice Typing... the language selector is no longer there.

This may be a little late, but regarding the Galaxy S4, if your phone is rooted, you can find an App Manager app, or download ROM Toolbox, and you can go find Samsung Keyboard, and either freeze, or uninstall it, I chose to freeze it just in case I ever had to use it again, I downloaded Swiftkey years ago and that little notification icon has been seriously bothering me

say "google" doesn't activate voice search?

Hi guys:
I have noticed a weird thing, I know there's a feature that you can say "google" after holding the home button and drag it to the google icon to activate the voice search. It works fine on me for a while, but I realized that after a while it doesn't work. Moreover, after a reboot, it would work again. Regular voice search still works fine by pressing the microphone button. Anyone know what's going on? I am on stock jellybean btw, but only rooted.
So it only works every now and again?
Also dragging any of the soft buttons up opens google now.
I have the same issue. The hotword option just randomly disappears. If you go into Google Now/Settings/Voice, the option to toggle it off and on is even gone. When you reboot it comes back, but then randomly disappears again at some point.
I had the same problem and realized i had the language under Google Now/settings/voice/language set to English (Australian).
After changing it back to Default-English (US), I have been able to consistently see the "say Google" option in the main Google Now page.
I have exactly the same problem, the language is always English (US), it still randomly disappears.

Do you use Light flow? I have noticed toggling "Accessibility" off and on when Light flow glitches out for me, or using Swype seems to kill hotword detection. Rebooting always seems to bring it back though

I use both, light flow and Swype Beta. Which is killing the hot word detection ? How are they interfering anyway :s
I know from reading the issues log Light flow uses the Accessibility service. When you toggle Accessibility on and off, hotword detection disappears. It will just say "Search" in Google Now instead of Search or say Google. Dont know why but try it and youll see best way to avoid it is to not toggle that or just reboot after it happens
is there a good replacement for light flow ?

I only use lightflow, not swype, so I am sure lightflow will interfere for sure.
the same problem in here
just got an update of lightflow - we'll see how it rolls
anyway google now 'google' saying works only when EN(US) is set as language
what is more - i see that any internal integration (e.g. saying 'set timer for 10 minutes') works as well only when the overall system language is set to EN(US)
I noticed this last week also. When it wouldnt respond to saying "Google" it didnt say "Search, or say Google" in the textbox on the voice Search (Google Now) page.
I uninstalled Lightflow and not had any issues since.
I've noticed that the hot word and hot word option only appears when you have English us set.
Change to English uk and they both don't work, also the other hot word functions, send email etc don't work as well.
Disabling light flow and restarting the phone fixes it.

Problems with AOKP JB 4.1.1

This might come off as stupid, but, I can't find the option to delete the annoying message when I go to type something, in the notification bar says "Choose input method" but I already did! I'm using SwiftKey 3, and put it as default, unchecked the Google voice typing, but it checks itself again automatically, and I deleted the default android keyboard. Also I can't seem to find the option to put the torch in the menu when holding the power button.
Anyone could help me?

Remove all of the system keyboards including the japanese/chinesse keyboard, so you had only one keyboard left (swiftkey).
As for the torch, afaik it only available in the notification toggles.
I can't find the Google Voice Typing apk in /system/app. And it keeps checking automatically by itself, when I uncheck it, it works for some time but then it goes again.

It's Velvet.apk. Be caution, you'll loose Google Now by removing the apk. I guess it's a trade off then.

[Q] tts when headphones plugged in

I used to get a small TTY icon on the notifier bar when I plugged in the headphones. I don't anymore, but a friend needs it.
does anyone know how to turn it on and off? I have searched all over, and can't seem to find it!
Thanks ahead of time!
Aloha
BTW:
Its on a TMO GS3 running stock JB if that's any difference.
Solved!
After hunting for all this while, I found what it was. Open the stock dialer, and press menu>Settings:
All the wsy down the list there is a TTY settings box to check or uncheck.
On cm 10.1 it's under system settings. Language and input

Nobody ?
The only thing I can think of is there is an option in Accessory to show a menu in the notification drawer when you connect headphones. I don't see anything about TTS but maybe there's another option or mod for that.

Keyboard input notification?

I have a weird thing going on with my sprint (rooted on stock rom) gs3. Out of nowhere the keyboard input notification keeps showing. I had the Google voice input unchecked and it was staying that way after a reboot, but now it turns on automatically after each reboot. I haven't done anything at all, no mods, no apps were downloaded.
How can I make the option stick?
Thanx.
Notice that the Google voice typing setting got checked on its own while I had the phone on.
For some reason I suspect the Google search.

[Q] Disable Google Voice Typing

Hi!
Running stock 4.1.2 version of android (stock recovery etc), but rooted with CF-Auto root.
I cant rembember if this has happened only after rooting, but:
Google voice typing keeps enabling itself. When im popping out the keyboard (Samsung stock), a notification pops up and asks for "choose input method". There I can either choose Samsung stock or the Google voice typing. There is also a button to "set up input", where I untap the Google voice typing and leave Samsung stock enabled. Now the notification is gone - for a moment. After few hours / "keyboarpopups" the same notification pops up to choose the input method, Google voice typing available again..
Cheers!
so annoying
i have the same exact problem, and it is so annoying. the mic icon replaces the "," and i hate that.
I keep unchecking it from the keyboard setting but it keeps coming back!!!
anyone with solution? i searched without luck....
