Keyboard setting not sticking - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

I recently finally accepted the 4.3 ota update on my rooted Nexus 7 2013. It made me lose root, so I used the latest wugfresh nexus toolkit and the Samsung drivers to root again and had to reinstall TWRP again.
Since then I've noticed a new weird problem.
I've used SwiftKey pro for a long time and have it set as the default keyboard in the tablet settings. Since the 4.3 update the default keyboard setting resets itself to the Google English keyboard every time the nexus goes to sleep. I reset it in Settings /Language & Input and it stays that way until the tablet goes to sleep. When repowered up, it reset itself to the Google keyboard again. Really weird and annoying. I tried rebooting and that doesn't help.
Anyone else has seen this or knows how to fix it?
Thanks.

[Q] Laggy Nexus after 4.0.2 OTA!!! (Not 4G version)

My Galaxy Nexus (Norwegian - Not 4G version) became laggy after I got the 4.0.2 version. This is NOTICEABLE when pressing the application switcher on-screen button, when selecting an app inside this manager, when scrolling the widget screen - and a little bit elswere inside different menus.
All in all I REALLY regret I installed the 4.0.2 OTA!
I had approx 1Gb apps installed which I removed, with to luck.
I also tried to factory reset the phone. When restoring,
I also tried NOT using the google backup as I thought the 4.0.2 update
could be included in this backup.
Problem is: Version 4.0.2 remain even if I factory reset phone.
It feels like the phone is contaminated, like I installed a virus!
If this is not fixed I will buy another phone. It was quite smooth with the 4.0.1 but now it feels really laggy.
Phone is of course "stock" and not changed in any way. I read that this problem is common, and I wonder if there is any way to roll back to v. 4.0.1??
Is there a fix in 4.0.3??
I will appreciate any help!

Stock 4.2.2 Keyboard Problems

So I updated my Verizon GNEX to 4.2.2 yesterday and I feel like the OTA did a bad install. Prior to the update I had no keyboard issues but now whenever I open the keyboard to use it (stock keyboard) it repeatedly slides in and out of view without touching the screen at all or while im typing which is even more annoying. If I switch to a custom keyboard (like swiftkey) it does the same, only instead of slidiing in and out of view it will rapidly flash in and out of view. I would really like to keep my phone stock. Everything else works fine. Its just this one issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
BTW: I've already tried a factory reset, going to the stock keyboard app and clearling data, cache, force stopping and disabling. None of it has solved the issue.

[Q] [q] auto rotation is not working at all

So ever since I rooted and xposed kit kat, my nexus 7 has had this odd rotation bug. Mind you I only have gravitybox installed. If I leave my tablet in any orientation for about 10 minutes after a reboot, it will get stuck until I reboot again. This only started recently, and I haven't done much to remedy it because I don't want to deal with restoring all my stuff. Is there anything that might fix it short of this?
Same problem
I have been having the same issue since around the kitkat update. Exact same issue actually, can't figure out how to fix it. I've already factory reset and tried to install a different rom and nothing =(. Need to contact asus for warranty i think
Here also often the problem that screen rotation stops working. Which is very annoying for instance when using Flo before sleeptime while loading battery. In that scenario reverse portrait is needed.
When googling a few months ago before KitKat I found in Google Discussion Groups topics with a ridiculous amount of people with same problem starting from Jelly Bean 4.3 (I think). There it appears it is a often occuring Android bug on all Nexus devices. Even factory reset or reflashing firmware not helping. Apparently not fixed in KitKat.
But not fully informed and 100% shure further about this anymore now. Have to reinvestigate. But it is most cerainly not a hardware bug. Otherwise rotation would never work.
Most of the time in my case rotation stops only working for a little while since KK. However since about a week it rotation won't start working again for a long time like while using JB.
Tried lots of things which seemed to work and than later not. Such as shutdown and power on. Soft reset/hard reboot by long pressing power. Etc.
Probably I will now use same temperary solution as in JB. And hoop fix will come finally from Google. That means using a 3rd party rotation app from Play Store during moments Android rotation has stopped working. Not all those apps working though when Android's rotation itself stopped.

Nexus 7 Keyboard And On-Screen Buttons Not Working

Nexus 7 keyboard and on-screen buttons not working
Hey guy, since quite a while, my nexus 7 has been randomly giving me this problem, which only got worse with time. Every now and then the keyboard would refuse to show up when I tap on a textbox. When this happens, my back button would also stop working. Also, YouTube videos would go all black (no video) while the audio continues to play and/or the on-screen controls would refuse to hide after a while.
I googled a bit and found out that greenify and xposed are causing this problem but in my case even getting rid of them didn't solve the problem. I even uninstalled every new àpp, reverted every new changes but no luck.
I'm really getting sick of this problem and this is the last time I'm seeking for any help before I go ahead and format my device. I'm a bit techie (the reason why I don't wanna go the format way) but this one's really gotten to my nerves.
I'm on KitKat 4.4.4 using Pacman Rom (KK RC-3 dev) with the kernel ElementalX v3.4.0.
I've frozen literally every app I could blame for this issue.
Please help me out guys!!!
No one??? Not even a guess??? Come on guys, pleeaaasssseeeee!!!!!

[Q] Keyboard stuck when typing/entering too quickly?

Hey guys, I'm wondering if any of you have the same problem as I do. Currently, I'm having a keyboard problem where if I press enter too quickly after my last keystroke, the keyboard would visually become stuck on my screen until I either press home, or select another input area to type again. I've had this problem from the beginning when I bought this phone (Dec, 2017) and it's becoming an annoyance since I type pretty fast. Does anyone else have this issue? For the record, I'm on the unlocked Pixel 2 XL latest Oreo 8.1 build.
Steps that I've taken to try and fix this problem:
1. Deleted cache/data from GBoard app data.
2. Rebooted device.
3. Downloaded other keyboards from app store like Swiftkey (still same issue)
I've recorded a sample of my screen for you guys to see. My last resort is doing a factory reset, but I really don't want to (lots of data on my phone) unless it's 100% guaranteed to fix the issue. Any tips/suggestions is appreciated!
Unable to replicate that. Is it only with that browser?
