Yea I pretty much figured that out and deleted Swiftkey I had installed. But the thing is its not suppose to do that once you disable it in the settings menu. Either thank you for the help.

Actually it just popped up again. Ive taken out swiftkey and the only keyboard is the default sammy. Now it prompts me to choose between keyboard or voice typing which btw I disabled and cannot uninstall and would not want to as I use it from time to time.

Solved!
Try this:
Browse to /data/system/inputmethod
Delete subtypes.xml
Reboot
Now, if you've another input method you want you'll have to open the xml doc and remove entries to the one which keeps popping up (for me it was Google voice input - but luckily I'm still able to use the voice search in Google Now despite deleting subtypes.xml )
Otherwise, this should work. I tried unticking all but one input methods in the settings menu but it never worked. This does.

select input method notification

Whats with the "select input method" notification every time the keyboard is showing? It shows and hides, but is really annoying.

If you set either voice recognition to automatic or turn it off, the notification will go off. It's under settings>language&input> google voice typing.

Doesn't remove it for me either way. Automatic or off.

just wondering, are you using stock android keyboard and english language?
What rom?

I found it out.
Go to settings>language&input>android keyboard options>vocal text immission and set it to off.
I don't see a "vocal text imission" in my nexus settings. Neither of these worked. Any other suggestions? I'm using Ultra Keyboard but I don't think it's a setting in there.
if you have any other keyboard installed, it will always show up because android is moving away from the "tap-and-hold" gestures. If all you have is the Google speech and the android keyboard, it should not show up in notifications

removing all the other keyboards removes the icon. (you might need to root your phone for that). i had to uninstall google text-to-speech and the samsung keyboard (i'm on a galaxy s2 but removing the icon is the same across all phones)
the ROM AOKP has a feature that allows you to hide this notification.
This worked for me on the Nexus S:
To get rid of stupid “select input method” notification
reboot to recovery
mount /system
in terminal, type “adb shell”
cd /system/app, rm OpenWnn.apk and PinyinIME.apk

I used Root Explorer, worked great. Thanks for the tip!
Sorry to bump an oldish thread, but here are the steps I followed to succesfully get rid of this annoying notification on my Xperia Ray:
Check the notification to see what keyboards are active.
Use Titanium Backup to freeze or uninstall the keyboards (other than the one you use, obviously).
Some keyboards might not show up in Titanium Backup. For these, use something like Root Explorer or adb to find them in system/app and delete them. For me, this was the Xperia Japanese Keyboard.
Make sure Google Voice Input is unchecked in Language/input settings.
Restart phone.
Voila, no more input method notification.
how about setting your "default keyboard" to the one you want to use and not to google's keyboard?

I don't have such issue. First what I got in mind is that your cable have broken data wires, so it allow only charging. Can you manually change it to MTP connection in settings and it work?

Yeah, he should check that cable. I'm using few different data cables and no problem here.
This LG Plug & Pop tool show animation when:
USB data cable
Headphones
Dock station
are plugged in. After that bottom animation finished, it call other related application activity. So issue lays in Settings App, why that selections are not shown.
Tyvm, working great. Wish u all the best.?

I am using it with GMD, does the job perfectly. (I his my nav bar and used edge gestures in place of buttons)
Thanks so much dev!! I previously resorted to setting the nav bar height to 1% but that created a lot of problems.
Do you happen to have a fix for double tap on the clock quick window widget? After I disabled the stock player, double tapping on the clock doesn't turn it off but double tapping on the weather one does :/

You can post your quick view issue in own thread, either here or in [Q&A]. I don't want to promise anything, but maybe I could have a look.
So let's discuss it somewhere else.
Installed and working perfectly on VS980 (Verizon). Also works with LMT without issue. Thanks for this!!
Forgive my ignorance, but does this only work if you completely remove nav bar? I just shrunk mine by 20% and get plug n play close. Will this work for me? Or is that a feature that could be added?

[Q]Can we use different keyboard?

Most of time, amazon's keyboard won't close itself using 'back' button, I have to switch to home and back app again, just for close it.
I would like to try other keyboard from Google Play Store.
However, we don't have any way to switch it in options or settings.
I have installed Settings.apk, first menu show up, but it will close immediately once I click to enter 'keyboard and language'.
Anyone have successfully try it? or maybe we need sqlite to change some kind of settings.db file? thanks.
I have switched to Google keyboard using the settings.apk from the Bluetooth thread. You can even disable the on screen keyboard if you have a physical one.

Did you really successfully change it to Google keyboard, how did you do it? I'm also using settings.apk from the Bluetooth speak thread. But it will close and won't let me to change it. I would like to use Google keyboard as well. By the way, I'm using newest firmware with root and enable unknown source already.
Yes swapped it a while back.. I'm on older firmware.. I did however freeze the kftv launcher, I know it blocks certain android things like home key launcher not sure if it is blocking that as well.
I just opened settings, language and input.. There it showed buellerIME
It was greyed out and Google keyboard not checked.. Just checked it .. Clicked on it's settings and disabled popup keyboard.

I double checked for ya.. Its the kftv launcher that's stopping the change. If ya freeze it and make the change then unfreeze it it will stick. I recomend installing a launcher of some sort in just in case as a fallback while doing it...

[Q] Unable to switch keyboards

Hi folks,
I am unable to switch keyboards. I am running the stock (rooted) Lollipop ROM. I have installed both Google keyboard and Swiftkey, the option to change keyboard only gives me the stock HTC keyboard in the settings. How do I force the switching of keyboards?
Bump.

After downloading Swiftkey, did you open the app? It should give you the option to and send you to the settings needed automatically to make it your default keyboard.
Swiftkey will walk you through the steps to enable it under settings then changing the default keyboard.

Yep, I did that and the option to change keyboard just lists the one (HTC) keyboard. It's almost like the fact the app is installed isn't registered by the system. See attached.

How to get rid of Touchpal?

Since i installed another keyboard i want to get rid of Touchpal since i allways get the "switch keyboard" notification which cant be disabled. How can i do that? Touchpal isnt in installed apps...

Settings, Language and keyboard, press current keyboard, then press choose keyboards and turn TouchPal off
If it's anything like the G4, you cannot disable the default keyboard.
I hope it isn't like the G4 in that aspect.

Like jollywhitefoot, I can turn TouchPal off, as described. My other keyboard is Swiftkey, and interestingly, I had not been receiving any annoying prompts before I turned off TouchPal, which I only did just now.

The other keyboard is "Multiling O Keyboard +Emojii". This is what i see in the screen where i activated this one, is there another way to open this menu than going through the Multiling O Keyboard app?
You need to download a keyboard to turn off touchpal. Change the default keyboard then go back then you can disable it iirc.

"TouchPal with HTC Sense".
I was sad to see the Sense keyboard go. IMO it has always been king of Android keyboards. Wished I could have put it on my tablets throughout the years.
That's what I've been wondering. Is there any way we could get the Sense keyboard back on the 10?
One of the things I love most about my M7..

As you can see im using Multiling O Keyboard, which is a keyborad available in the Playstore. What do you mean by "Change the default keyboard", im allready using my custom keyboard for writing.
You turn on the keyboard back and then make it default. Then go back into where you turn on and off the keyboard then you can turn off touchpal.
Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk
I dont get what you want to show me. My current situation in detail:
1. Factory fresh HTC 10
2. I download Multiling O Keyboard
3. I enable it in the screen with the sliders.
4. I set my used keyboard to MOK, so i will start typing on with it whenever i select a text field.
5. When i select a text field i get a notification in the notification bar that lets me choose the keyboard i want to use, Touchpal and MOK being the options.
6. I try to disable Touchpal in the slider menu (which i reach by a button in the notification), but its slider is greyed out. I can disable MOK without problems, though.
Try doing it through the settings and not the slider. I don't know why it doesn't work for you, but that worked from me. Based on what you typed that the only difference. I didn't use the notification shade route.

What do you mean "through the settings and not the slider"? Touchpal isnt in the apps menu, so i cant disable it there.
I didn't access the settings through the notification shade like you did.
I did everything from the settings itself.
I tapped
Settings
Language and keyboard
Current keyboard
Choose keyboard
Turned on keyboard
Back once
Changed current keyboard
Choose keyboard
Turned off keyboards
That worked for me and I don't get anything in the notification shade because I only have 1 active keyboard.

The very first reply to your original post explains what you need to do. Go into Settings, Language & Keyboard, Current Keyboard, Choose Keyboards and then turn off Touchpal. Don't access this menu via the slider notification as you have previously stated. If Touchpal is still greyed out, try to download another keyboard temporarily and see if you then get the option.
