Hi guys,
I got a very nice logitech k810 bluetooth keyboard, But every time i connect it to my phone it switches my input method to the samsung keyboard.
Even if i set swiftkey to default. It's quite irritating..
Does anybody know if i can disable this? Or maybe which service/package causes this then ill make an xposed mod myself to stop it.
Thanks!

Thanks for your response. However i just finished writing a mod to solve this issue at the root of the problem.
PS: Would anybody be interested in me releasing this mod?
It will stop the switch to the samsung keyboard when either using a bluetooth or USB keyboard or an dock.

I will compile one tomorrow. You will be needing the xposed framework, if you don't already have it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
Manipur,
First install the xposed framework i linked it in my previous post.
Then install my mod (It doesn't matter if you switch these two around).
You should get a popup that my module isn't active (If you don't get the popup open the xposed installer application and switch to the modules tab)
"Enable XposedFreeInput"
Then reboot, Now when you connect an external input device is shouldn't switch the input method.
Let me know how it goes.
Tasker
A less elegant solution is to grab Tasker and have "Disconnect from BT keyboard" trigger an input selection popup.

Hi so sorry... Been busy a bit.
I wouldn't want to change my settings as of now. What I basically did was install an apk called keytest.
I already had external keyboard helper pro installed. I just remapped a few keys so that the keyboard doesn't change to samsung keyboard. On top of that I also added a keyboard map for the physical menu button so that I can launch it anytime I require.

U know what... I was slightly not comfortable installing the Xposed framework, because I don't have cwm recovery installed. My note 2 is just rooted using CF-Auto root method. So I can't basically make a nandroid backup. I used this method so that I can get OTA updates now and then by disabling root.
But the pop up to change to Samsung default was pretty irritating. I've tried using tasker to create a profile, but I couldn't assign the parameters. I took the risk of a bootloop and took the plunge, installed Xposed framework and installed your Xposed free input...and it works great. Now I don' t have to change my input method everytime I connect my wireless keyboard. Thanks to you man.
Sorry for being a little chicken hearted.

Cool thing about xposed is that you don't need CWM, Just root.
However i do understand your discomfort, I rooted my phone 2 days after purchasing it. The thought that i might wreck a quite expensive phone within 2 days (while voiding my warrenty) wasn't a pleasurable one indeed.
Anyway glad the mod worked, Now at least i can say it has been officially tested
Just stumbles upon this thread while searching for a solution to this annoying problem with input method switching (I bought a BT keyboard yesterday). Scalee -- thanks a lot for the module! I already use Xposed for a lot of other stuff, so that was a no-brainer for me. Just another proof that you can find pretty much anything here on XDA. If it's not here, there's a good chance it doesn't exist...
It works. Thank you so much!

Tried it on a samsung s4 with android 4.3 (rooted).
I had to uninstall it as it was causing 75% of what I type to be lost unless I slowed down to no more than a character or two per second.

Something got really hosed. Uninstalling XposedFreeInput and rebooting didn't restore the keyboard. I had to go back to a nandroid backup to fix keyboard input.
I don't really mind the samsung popup -- I just hit return on the keyboard twice to get past it. What really made me crazy was that samsung would reset the soft keyboard to their own instead of swiftkey. I ended up using tasker with security settings / system+ / input method to keep it set to swiftkey.
This App fixed it for me, but it needs root.
it fixed my problem, that the bluetooth keyboard would not be recognised from the SwiftKey. Now I can easily switch between physical and touch keyboard - Nexus 4 v4.4.2

This approach works with non-smart keyboards.
1. Install your preferred keyboards from Market
2. Use ES file explore (with Root feature and RW mount enabled in the advanced setting) or use Root Explorer to copy the keyboard .apk file from /data/app to /system/app
3. Reboot and select the keyboard by pressing and holding at any text input box.
4. (optional) Sideload and install "Nookcolor Tools" from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868366. You will have an option to set keyboards.
So far this method does not work with
- SlideIt
- Thumb keyboard (thanks fr4nk1yn)
Confirmed! Thanks aruangra, it's quite easy. No need to tweak DB file!
not sure why nooktools is needed. I saw no option to change the keyboard in it.
copying to /system/app armed to allow the option change but add thumb keyboard to the list of non-working ones.
anyone know if this works for Swype?
This is great! Didnt even think to look in the nook section

Thanks. NookcolorTools has a button to change keyboards. As you said, Nookcolor Tools is optional. I updated the guide above.
I tried using Simply Gingerbread keyboard, just FCs as well.
If any of these keyboards create a lib in /data/data/name_of_app/lib, you may need to copy it to /system/lib

anyone who installed thumb keyboard on their KF have issues uninstalling the app?
Swiftkey Phone and Tablet version work great, along with Hacker's keyboard (all functions of the apps work.) After you do the above steps, make sure to copy the lib files from /data/data to /system/lib as mentioned in a previous post. Once you do this, the program see's that it is installed and will continue with the setup.
I used the NOOK controls with root/superuser enabled to auto-select the keyboards it may or may not be a requirement. For swift, I was able to get both versions registered and fully working minus the Google search recognition because I can't find where to get the .apk without it going to the amazon app store. I also tried Swype and while the interface loads properly on the kindle, it does not function right and constantly closes whenever you hit a button.

This is the exact problem I'm having preventing me from using it.
I used the nook app as well, but when you are in a typable area, just long pressing brings up the keyboard changing option.
I hadn't tried it prior to installing the nook app, but I know that's always been available on my phone.

I have the same problem. I had never used Swiftkey tablet before, so didn't know for sure about swiping down to mvoe the keyboard, but I tried it, and it didn't work.
It's extremely important to also move the lib files as described earlier in the thread. Without this, you will only get FC.

I didn't touch any lib files and I didn't have any FCs. And if the minimize doesnt work for you, we can probably assume not a lib file issue then.

All problems started after its install. Even the phone started to lag and give random force closes. Got rid of the mod and all is back to normal again.

Fixed S Health; Reset Flash Binary? Maybe????
I seriously don't know how I did this I was just tinkering around trying to get this to work and I got it!!!!!! I actually hope that this can help others I'm gonna try to walk you through what I did. You will need Titanium backup PRO and a be on your original ROM as I have the ME7 build and have not flashed any ROMs yet. Oh speaking of that while doing these steps I think I reset the flash binary because the "custom" unlock screen is gone now to. I still can't get the stock music app working though. This issue actually started when I transferred a full TB file to a brand new phone. When I first changed it I changed the Android ID to a new one, I think this is where the issue starts. I had apps from anothers ROM (Phone) on a new ROM, and my Android ID was changed.
So here's what I did. I'll start where i'm sure I know it started working and that's after I was able to get to the deeper features of TB.
1. Menu>Your Device...(Make sure you have your original bakcup that has the settings you transferred in, if not your probably out of luck)>scroll down the Your device section>Manage Android ID>
I attempted to restore my ID to the backup and it told me that was the ID>
I figured what the heck and changed the ID to a new one and rebooted...after rebooting I went back into TB....it gave me the warning for having a new ID I told it to keep the old one (can't quite remember the wording but it's the one on the right...last time I told it to keep the new one.)
I then cleared dalvik cache, the beauty of TBP without a custom ROM
Menu>>storage>>clean up dalvik cache.
Once again I removed the S Health App, reinstalled and rebooted. When booting I noticed the Samsung "custom" unlock screen was gone as well.
I tapped that little s health button and after an agonizing wait, it has RETURNED!!!!! UPDATING!!! YEAH!!!!
Now I can't guarantee these steps will work for you but if it does that would be awesome. Has anyone figured out an easy way like that to reset the flash binary?

Yup, I have a Note 2 - the OLED screen can be problematic for my artwork without toning down the red. I imagine I'm not the only artist to use a Note as a quick and dirty, extemporaneous and backup portfolio.
Sure enough "Screen Adjuster" which allows RGB color balancing also makes the Install button unclickable when directly installing APKs. Drove me nuts - always found a temporary solution - rebooting, stopping Play Services, clearing caches for Services and the Play app (plus Aptiode, etc.) but these were hit and miss. Turned it off and it worked without any other hoops to jump through.
Glad I came across this - I don't usually install APKs at this point as my Note 2's apps/uses are pretty stable at this point, but for those days when you have 15 Xposed Framework APKs to install... and. clicking! stabbing! the damn! install button. does. nothing. ...yeeesh.
Figured this out from an Phandroid thread that listed similar apps:
Easyeyez Screen Filter
Twilight Filter
...and other screen dimming filter apps. The post is long because it's been a hassle for a long time... and hopefully to make it a bit easier for someone to find, including the above apps.
God that was annoying. Now to fix my memleak/lag issues.
Rotation manager is causing this too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405849
Echo Lock Screen was the culprit for me.
Happened to me a few times I reboot and if that doesnt work then I clear the caches. Its been a while since I have seen that.
Wow unimaginable
This is unimaginable. Who could think something like a display app (Twilight for me) could create such a condition.
I checked and checked my security settings to confirm I have set the option "to install from unkown sources". I also tried various developer options, but all futile! Also tried rebooting the phone! Nothing worked :crying: until I hit this post! :laugh:
Lots and lots of thanks to this post. I can now turn of the Twilight app and install other apps.

@fernandovg did you ever find a solution or alternative app for this? if it wasn't for your post about this, i'd still be scouring the internet for answers to button functionality being broken. Also, did you experience any apps that you allowed to rotate not rotating? ie - i set chrome, youtube, reddit, any other app i may view video in to enable rotation so i can have full screen, but that function was broken too the app worked 100% for the first while i had it installed then just crapped out on me for some reason. I messaged the creator of the app for a response so i'll see where that takes me. did you notice malfunction around the time of flashing any roms with stagefright patches by chance? it's the only thing i can think of that was out of the ordinary that i did around the time i notice malfunction. thanks for your input.

Solution:
1. If you use any application "Screen Filter" , please disable the screen filter.
2. Then you try to install the application, then re-enable your screen filter. (It is up to you whether you want to re-enable or not, if enabled you should turn off your screen filter if you want to install an apk.

You probably already know about this but to back up my app data I used helium from clockwork mod. It doesn't require root and all you need to do is enable USB debugging. That's what I used to back up my game data and other things when I switched from my one m9 to the 10.
For my call logs and text messages I used SMS backup and restore which worked flawlessly. The only thing left to do after that was to export my contacts to my SD card and I was set to go. It took me about 25 minutes to get everything up and going on the new phone not including system updates and application updates of course which you can't avoid
I hope that helps out some
Thanks, I am aware of helium but thought it may be a bit of a hassle. I'm used to titanium backup, LG has its own awesome backup utility.
Not too sure about flashing twrp/root yet as it stops OTA updates. So left with custom rom and wait for that rom to get OTA included. Looking forward to custom roms, custom kernel, heavy debloating, easy backup and restore. Still not sure how you flash HTC 10 back to stock!

In my experience helium is not a hassle to use at all. If you've never used it before you basically turn on USB debugging install the app from the play store and install the application from the website on your computer. After you do that plug your phone into your computer and launch the application on your phone. It then comes up with a list of all the applications on your phone, you can either press select all or individually select the applications you would like to back up. Once you do that you push a button and a few moments later everything is done.
One thing to note is that it creates a folder named carbon on the root of the internal storage of the phone, just remember to move that folder over to your SD card before you start experimenting with anything that may require wiping the phone. I have used titanium backup in the past as well and while the helium method may not be just as easy it is the absolute best solution out there for people that don't already have a rooted device

I couldn't stand touchpal. I use google keyboard and deleted touchpal and all its lanugage packs, skins etc (requires root). Much better now.

Just a heads up. Do not delete TouchPal like i did. My phone asked for the password for encrypted data at boot - it hadn't loaded the google keyboard, and as I deleted touchpal from system I had no keyboard! Only option was to restore. I've now left touchpal (minus all the language packs) in my rom, for some reason Google keyboard couldn't be moved to system. Oh well.
Hi I'm using Swiftkey but tried many keyboard. All are giving me a problem in the p button and keyboard being too sensitive. It types the same letter three times. Can anyone help

Yeah. Disable touchpal doesn't stop force install on language packs. I'm disappointed there's no option to remove this on play store.

Thank you.
Got it up and running. Needed to make a few changes (enabling certain apps with Package Disable Pro), but other than that it seems snappy. Will have to see how some of the extras work before I can form a solid opinion.
Does wifi calling and volte (HD voice) still work with the official Tmobile nougat release?

Just works from stock?
What type of ROM Controls are there

what is this exactly, is this just to add a feature to my stock nougat. I dont want to damage my phone
So do you have to use both the pc and phone or was the directions trying to say you could choose the method?
No replies here folks.... Somebody is going to have to step up and do the mod and report back for us on tmobile. We need a volunteer.

I linked the original thread I just posted it here because it works on our devices also. Instead of trying to be ungrateful maybe take a moment and read. My directions are correct, and very understandable to anyone who knows how to read and most importantly follow directions as stated.
Guess I don't know how to read. Thanks for posting this though.

Actually your directions are not that easy to read or understand.
The OP states a list of steps to take "from PC" and none of those steps other than running the bat files are done from your PC. They are all things don't from phone.

They are clear to those actually looking to use it Instead of just looking to argue a useless point the first person to try it got it and so did a few others. As I stated I quoted the original post so anything you are not clear on then you ask there. This is only to let us tmobile users know it works. Now I will go back to life outside of XDA and leave you to argue with yourself.
Question did it work for you? Did you try? Do you already understand adb? If yes to any above then you should be able to follow directions

????some needs a cookie and attention. You go girl??????????
If you guys are having trouble getting it to work you could always just install nova launcher and make it pretty much identical if not better than the original pixel launcher. Or else there is another app called nougat UI for Android that looks promising but I haven't tried it yet.

**** guuurl, err body likes cookies! But I'm not in any dire need of attention. I just don't like it when someone make unnecessarily rude comments to a new member to XDA is looking for some help...
If you start a thread, even when you're just giving a link to more info people will ask questions. I've been there, started a few compilation threads over the past decade on XDA and it never fails... people hope that since you compiled the list you have the info... Not to mention it is a Verizon mod and tmobile people will have different questions. But you enjoy being an ass... I'm gonna run to Fred Meyers and grab some cookies.

I would reflash without wiping anything first. If it is only the launcher FC, a reflash without wiping might fix what ever went sideways during the initial install.

I've had trouble with Pixel launcher as well. No problems during the beta, but after "official" it mysteriously stopped working.
Working awesome here! Nice and smooth!
I found the easiest way to install this through adb is, make sure you have adb/fastboot installed on your computer, DL the play store mod file, extract it and all you have to do is CLICK on the play store rom.bat and it automatically opens the command window and the directions on there will guide you through the process.
MAKE SURE your home screen grid on the TouchWiz launcher is set to 5 x 5 as that is the default grid on the Pixel launcher. If it is set different on the TW launcher it messes with the Pixel launcher viewing. It offsets the app icon grid and makes icon s look crooked on the screen and widgets are all out of place also.
