Multiple keyboard issues

I've installed cyanogen 7 in my motorola defy and since then I'm experiencing a problem with the use of multiple keyboards in it.
I have Swype, Better Keyboard and SwiftKey installed, and frequently when I'm into some app and I try to choose which keypad to use, I only have Android Keyboard active.
And no mater whether I have only one more extra keyboard selected alongside with AK or if I have all of them selected, it always end up to AK being the sole active keypad.
Has anyone been through something like this? Or, is it there a way to patch or solve it?

I'm running the Nordic Rom with CM7 and had the similar experience. I resolved this by
1. Selecting the 'swype' as input method in settings/language & Keyboards
2. Opening up the default email and selecting compose
3. Select the options button, (visible on the bottom left of the android keyboard)
4. Selected swype as input method.
This appears to have now default swype across all apps. I've rebooted several times and it has stayed as swype. No idea how to then change to another keyboard

btw i rebooted several times and it has stayed as android keyboard,if got solutions pls teach us how to patch inside cm7.thank!!

Not sure if this will help, or is the issue, but I had a same kind of problem. It turned out the keyboards were on the SD card, and not on the phone. Once I moved them back to the phone I had no problems. I can just long press in a text field, and all my keyboards show. Oh and this is basic, but sometimes we miss it. Installing a new ROM or factory reset means you need to go to the keyboard settings, and checking each box of the keyboards you have installed all over again. I only point this out as I had to to a hard reset, and couldn't figure out why I only had the Android one available. Oops.

[Q] Ginger bread Keyboard for our screen

Anyone know where to get the Gingerbread keyboard for a screen our size? I downloaded one of the apk's and its made for a 3" screen or something like that. I love this phone but hate the samsung/swype keyboards.

I downloaded "keyboard from Android 2.3" from the market and I really like it so far.

i thought the stock samsung keyboard was basically the gingerbread keyboard that came with the phone

I am pretty sure that the stock keyboard is Samsung's take on it. Just like TW, this is their keyboard.
Also I downloaded the Keyboard from android 2.3 off the market. I'm very pleased with it as well

I downloaded it as well, but when you go to install it, there is a warning that says, "...Gingerbread keyboard application may collect all the text you type, including passwords, credit card numbers, and other personal data. Continue?" I hit "Cancel." Is this normal for a keyboard from the market to ask?

I am pretty sure that is normal, of all the keyboards that i have tried in the past they all gave me a warning like that, i think that it is a built in message just for safety reasons but i have never had a problem with it

I saw that too, but I didn't worry too much about it. I don't use my phone to enter credit card numbers or anything like that.

Yes, if you installed a Swype beta in the past it included this as well IIRC

Thanks guys. I went from a winmo phone to an iPhone to this, so just learning the Android world.

All you have to do is long press in any text box and select "input method" when the option pops up. It will ask you to choose between sammys take on either Swype or the stock Gingerbread keyboard. Hope that helps

If it was in a rom.. Then go into the zip file and open it up.
1. Open ____.zip file. (aka your rom)
2. Go to system/apps/
3. Now look for the keyboard that your looking for.
4. Extract it.
5. Find the apk file where you extracted it and then go to your phone and place the apk file in your phones sd card or usb storage.
6. Install it and it should work.. But idk. If it force closes then its not fit for the screen and firmware

Question about swype and gingerbread keyboard

I am tying to use gingerbread keyboard but it keeps switching back to swype .... Should i just use the samsung keyboard and wait for the update? Or is there a way to make it stop switching to swype?

You can go to settings and uncheck swype keyboard if you don't want to use it.

I have done that several times and it keeps going back to Swype ... Its like my phone is forcing me to use swype when im using the gingerbread keyboar.. When i keep on the samsung keyboard, it seems to stay on that . And it doesnt switch back to swype... But i dont want to use the samsung keyboard, it sucks!!

If you are rooted, freeze Swipe in Titanium Backup or some other utility. You could also uninstall it (still need root).
If you are not rooted, search the Market for another keyboard and install it and use it. SwiftKey is great (imo).
This is why many root their phones.

Thank you so much!! Forgot that i have the ability to Freeze apps now that i have rooted my s2.... i love this forum! Very active and helpful ...better than any other android forum website.

So i uninstalled Swype ... Nowni am trying to use gingerbread keyboard , but keeps switching back to Samsung keyboard.... Seems like my phone keeps rejecting gingerbread kb ... Is this a app issue?

Not sure if it is, but you could also freeze the Samsung keyboard to stop it. Just make sure you have at least one keyboard installed.
I don't know if you have tried it, but, the Swipe Beta has Dragon speech recognition build in. I am using it and I hardly ever have to correct it. It is really good. If you want to try it search the internet for Swipe Beta. You will have to register with them but it really worth it.
Also, as mentioned in my last post, Swift Key is really good. It uses the email and texts in your phone to help its prediction process turning the typing process into only a few taps per message. Definitely worth a try.

Problem solved .. thank u .. close thread

Youre clearing tasks... so that kills the gb keyboars. So it goes to smasung keypad

HTC IME MOD Keyboard crashing

I just flashed Calkulin new ICS rom and for some reason the htc keyboard crashing after typing a few letters. Ive searched this forum and found no answer. I PM calkulin about this problem and of course no reply. Can someone suggest a keyboard that just as good as this one or at least a fix to keep it from crashing out.
I like this keyboard because of the dedicated typing area it gives you when in portrait mode.

guess it is back to gb

May I suggest Perfect Keyboard Free or the AI type keyboard. They are both good keyboards to me. I like Perfect Keyboard Free a little better. They are highly configurable and feel like the htc keyboard that I had on my EVO. I am currently using Perfect Keyboard on FC07 without a problem. It is fast, responsive, and does what I want it to do.

I've seen a couple posts with this issue, as well as it happened to me. For some reason the ics roms do not like the HTC ime keyboard. Perfect keyboard would be the way to go

looks like no one can fix this problem. always one annoying problem with every great rom

Go keyboard is the best in my opinion. You can customize theme and everything
Sent from my iPhone killer.

If you use ICS Rom, there are lots of chances that you may see the weird stop errors from many places something like system apps, user apps and even from the network communications.
For many cases, if it started failing then it will continue to fail until you remove the failing apps. Or sometimes, rebooting the phone resolve the issue but it could happen again in any moment.
So, best way to resolve the issue in ICS Rom would be reinstalling the failing app.
In my opinion, it seems like there're some bad process or service running that makes other applications force-stopped. Once the application force stopped, usually the system is getting warm and hot (meaning it's continuously retrying to launch the application or doing some post processing).
If the re-installing the application does not resolve the issue, then the best way would be 'waiting' until stable ICS Rom comes out in the market.
For me, lots of application re-installed because of force stop error -
Youtube(stock), Waze, Xing player, n7player, battery monitor, email (stock), facebook(stock), Root Toolbox( seems like compatibility issue with ICS)...

I had the problem of the keyboard popping up even though I repeatedly selected SlideIt. I finally just took it out by way of TB

I use htcime_mod on my non-sense (lol at the pun) roms as well. I found that disabling the Prediction/Spell Correction/Word Completion under the Text Input option keeps the keyboard from crashing. This may suck for those of you who rely on auto-correction and suggestions, but i personally have a vendetta against t9 and i only use this keyboard for the ease of symbols access.
I proffer that the issue is thus dependent of the way the IME accesses the dictionary to correct/suggest words. Maybe the libraries are renamed/moved, and it is trying to access an invalid path? Just a theory.
Above all, remember that YMMV because I am using an HTC Vision (T-mobile G2) running CM9 pre-alpha 2.5 unofficial ICS build.
Hope this helps,
Rec

I had issues on Calk's so I downloaded Goodness and extracted the HTC IME MOD apk from it and pushed it to system/app. After setting the permissions and restarting I haven't had a problem since. Give it a shot and see.

The file link is dead. I know there is an apk out there for the HTC IME MOD that works with prediction for ICS. If anyone has it can they please link or share?

keyboard reverts to default after reboot

I'm using Swifkey 4 (BTW, if you aren't using this, you're missing out) and randomly the keyboard started to revert back to the default after I reboot. Very annoying.
Any suggestions?

It's an issue with SwiftKey. It's not sticking with reboots. Hopefully they fix it in the next release.

In the meanwhile (I don't think it's Swiftkey's problem) All you need to do is freeze the stock keyboard and it'll stay on whichever keyboard you assign. You are not the only one having the default keyboard always muscle in after a reboot!
Good Luck!

Yeah I'm having the same issue, was working fine on SwiftKey Flow Beta. I just uninstalled the android and swyoe keyboard that came with wicked.

If it's not a SwiftKey problem, my phone just coincidentally started doing this the second I installed SwiftKey 4.. And coincidentally stops doing it whenever I set a different keyboard as default.

Either uae titanium backup and look for the keyboard, click on it and you have an option to freeze. Or go to settings>application manager> swipe all the way to the right and look for the keyboard, click on it and it gives you the option of disabling it.
Also I did a fresh install of my rom and now it's sticking after reboots

It is a Google problem that primarily affects people using Android 4.1.1. The play store encrypts paid apps to mnt/asec. The problem is that when android 4.1.1 boots up, it establishes services like keyboards before asec is mounted. This means that SwiftKey isn't seen until after the default keyboard is established. It is supposed to be fixed in 4.1.2.
I cannot speak for the previously mentioned workaround (either for our against) , but I have one that has worked for me. Backup your SwiftKey installation with TiBu, uninstall it, reboot, then restore SwiftKey with TiBu. I hope one of these solutions work for you.

I've the same problem with android 4.1.2 MA2 and galaxy s3.
Probably it depends on Swiftkey and not Android itself....

I just noticed this was the T-Mobile galaxy s3 forum, but I found this through Google, but on my stock at&t I747 when I reboot not only is Swype no longer default, but most of my defaults are reset, so I asked someone @ the at&t store, and they nonchalantly replied, "yeah that's normal". So, reading this response that it's a 4.1.1 issue on xda puts my mind at ease.
I can now just chock it up to another one of those wonderful phenomena (bugs) on this device.
Please excuse any typos, as I wrote this using my gs3 using chrome

If you are rooted, the problem is quite trivial to resolve.

Thank God the guy you spoke to was intelligent enough to give you the right answer. Hes right. Swiftkey Team said any OS under 4.1.2 was affected by that bug.

I use ADW paid launcher and when I reboot, I have to choose the default launcher each time. I have Swype and I have the same problem. I've reset the device to full factory a few times and the problem still comes back. I thought that it was only me.
Glad to know I'm not alone.

I reinstalled the rom and didn't choose samsung keyboard but the other one listed, nothing else selected and reboot the phone. Installed SwiftKey and don't have problems anymore with swift not sticking after reboot.
