Swift keyboard issues. - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I downloaded the swift keyboard app since I like it more than the Samsung standard keyboard.
My issue is that even tho I set the swift keyboard as default, when I restart my phone, it will always revert back to samsung. Any ideas how to stop this?

I always use Titanium Backup to freeze or uninstall the stock keyboard. So I've never had a problem with this.

I sometimes run stock TW, sometimes (currently) AOSP. But I'm always rooted.

Choose input method

I have been using SwiftKey 3 for a while, but every day (at least once sometimes more) I am asked to 'Choose input method'. How do I stop this and keep SwiftKey as my keyboard?

When does it tell you? Is it when you are required to type or just randomly out of the blue?
I'm rooted, and have Swiftkey. I also have Titanium Backup app. If I had your issue, one way to deal with it, would be to freeze the stock keyboard via Titanium.

Yes apparently there is a bug with the latest JB for AT&T so when you reboot your phone it defaults to the Samsung Keyboard.

Well, that may be it, as it does 'sometimes' default back to the Samsung keyboard. But only sometimes, sometimes it asks and SwiftKey is already selected. And, it doesn't take a reboot. In fact, it just showed up now as I write this post. I am using a rooted stock LK3 rom.

[Q] 4.1.2 Keyboard versus Swiftkey question.

Now that we have received our new JB 4.1.2 update from T-Mobile (yeah! :victory, I have a question.
Samsung licensed Swiftkey technology for their keyboard. It does look much better and respond better than before. I also own Swiftkey. That said, I'm waffling between sticking with the stock keyboard and saving some memory versus running Swiftkey and having some additional options for customization.
What do you do?
Do whatever one you prefer, don't know why you want the answer given to you, just preference. Don't stop using apps just because memory more this phone has its memory

I stopped using SwiftKey because:
1) it was not remembering the words I told it to remember.
2) swipe prediction was terrible.
Using Swype now.
I prefer the note 2 keyboard myself because it has the numbers on top and I don't have to keep it that stupid little button on the side to make my numbers pop up.

Same here. I would gladly buy the newer swiftkey if it had the option to add the numbers at the top

Or just use the free note 2 keyboard from a flashable zip.

Only SwiftKey can insert space bar by swiping over the space bar without letting go of your finger. I find that really hard to beat. I'll stick to SwiftKey until I find something that could do better.
Been looking
Hi guys first post ever here in XDA. Been lurking for a while.
I have the Frosty JB 4.1.1 v11.2.1. I removed alot of apps through Titanium and when I do a factory reset, I don't have any keyboards. I am looking for the stock or note2 or the new 4.1.2 keyboard to install. I have swype but want to get stock so I can put it in the proper folder for factory resets so I wont be without a keyboard upon reboot. I have searched and all I keep finding is themed KB and cant get them to work. I hate the dev stopped producing the frosty rom, I love it on my phone. Cant find the v11.2.1 or I would just start fresh there.
Thanks in advance.

You can either "convert to System app" using TiBu Pro or move the .apk to the /system/app folder and reboot. Root is required for either.
And just fyi, there shouldn't be a link to the note2 kb in the themes and apps sticky.

Because your SwiftKey is from the black market if you have one from the play store and latest upgrade it will stick after reboot like my.

Thanks
:highfive:
Thank you all. I found tp2215 library and picked up the note2 and installed via zip in cwm.
Then bought the TIBU, per DJ_SpaRky recommendation. I then made a sys app out of the note2.
I just did a factory restore and whamo, Im up and going.
Thank you all very much.
Glad to hear that you were able to get it done.

Preferences
Its all based on your preferences. I have used both and didn't think anything could be better than swiftkey till I saw the new Samsung keyboard on the s4 Note2 roms. I go back and forth now looking for a new king. I like the option of having the permanent numbers row on the ported note2 but I am also trying the new Kii keyboard on the play store. Install them all and swap back and ofrth in settings untill you decide which works best for you. I currently have 4 or 5 installed.

Clearing app defaults

Got used to nova launcher (and bought prime) since I was on my s3 with liquid smooth, but now being back at touch wiz I keep getting a message saying that I need to clear my app defaults. Makes me choose which launcher to use each time.
Had this problem on touchwiz with my s3 but went aosp and didn't have the problem again. Kinda liking tw on this phone so I'd like to stay with it if I can figure this out. Already tried clearing all defaults and then tried going into the specific apps and clearing the defaults. No luck. Help?

Why not FREEZE the launchers you do not want to use with Titanium backup, that way they will still be
there in case you ever want to use or mess around with those other launchers.
By doing that your default launcher will always be used without a popup box asking you what to do.
If you want to use another launcher which is frozen just unfreeze it...
I know that normally you should not have to do this, but if you just cannot figure it out it does not hurt
anything to freeze a launcher.
good luck!

[Q]Do you have the option to disable stock browser?

Hey guys. Was wondering if anyone who is running stock NOT rooted has the option to disable the Samsung stock browser in the settings application manager. Thanks!
I'm able to disable mine but I'm running a custom ROM with a tweaked stock browser. Need input on stock ROM not rooted. Thanks!

install a different browser, like nova, or you have to be rooted, and freeze it.

Yeah whats up with that other guys post? lol...
Anyhow, thanks elflip88. Thats what i was running too and i am able to disable it. But i am asking because the developer of light flow is absolutely thrilled to know i have fixed this issue that he has been trying to fix for months. But the only way to implement this fix is by either deleting the stock browser or flashing it through recovery.
I am working on modding the apk further to allow for a regular install without root. That way people who aren't rooted can still benefit. However, if one is not able to disable the stock browser, and they install my modded one, they will have two "internets" in their app drawer xD So im hoping stock system allows one to disable the browser.
Im stock not rooted and I can't disable it. It shows the disable button but I can't click it

4) Push custom recovery
5) Nandroid
Total time: 30 minutes

Did you try restoring to check if stock key board works? Also I would look into individual thread to see if anyone else encountered similar issue. I flashed quite a few AOSP ROMs but haven't had this issue.
