how to delete new htc keyboard?

anyone knows how to delete the new htc keyboard(dutty's one), so that I can restore the input method to htc's original one?
cos I found it is not capable with some of my applications,
any help will be grateful, thanks in advance!

I want this also...the new thing, doesn't work for me...can help it!
So, someone???

My way to uninstall built-in apps:
1-Look for an uninstallable cab for the exact same app & same version.
2-Install this cab in the Device memory. The new files & registry keys should replace the old ones for the same software AND will make it uninstallable
3-After softreset (if needed/preferred) go ahead & uninstall the app
4-We're not done yet using SKTools/PocketMechanic or any other system tool software, cleanup the RAM, broken links & bad registry files..
NOW you got rid of the unwanted built-in software
But I'm not quite sure if this is HEALTHY for the device

the only problem that I have is that sometimes the keyboard is stuck at the numbers, so I can't type a normal text message with letters.
I found a work around.....
if you are experiencing that problem, open your opera browser and click on the address bar. then the keyboard will change back to qwerty

You can try to disable the input by using some tweaker like SKTools

Gota try it thank you, all of you!

chinese input on android

how to get chinese input in android? I am new to android.
I just downloaded google input IME from market place and installed, it is enabled in settings(languages), but keyboard did not change in messages and browser input. why?
any other apps will work?

The default way to change input method has been changed in ICS. Instead of long pressing at any text entry field, In ICS you will see a small keyboard icon in the left corner from the status bar when the keyboard shows up, then you can pull the status bar down and change the input method from there.
Google Pinyin IME is average. Some better options are sogou input and touchpal input. Sogou does not support ICS at this moment. But touchpal V5 works flawlessly.

I actually set default keybord to google pinyin, but then I cannot enable default english keyboard. what if I want to try other chinese keyboard? is there a way to enable multiple keyboard?

What if I want stock ICS keyboard to have Chinese? Any way I can do that?
I really like the stock keyboard and I don't want to use third party keyboard if at all possible

Also looking for this option....Surely there must be a way to switch to hand written chinese input via the stock ICS keyboard right ??? I realise that 3rd party apps are available but they are all terrible IMHO. Looking for something similar to how iPhone handles Chinese input....any ideas / suggestions ?

i'm using penpower, it not made for ics, as the writing pad does not fit the whole bottom half of the screen, but it works.
updated, just installed the ics version.

google voice input is the best. i use HK traditional.

touchpal is good too. they got chinese pack and handwriting pack.

go to System Setting > Language & keyboard > System Language. Then, scroll down and check PinYin option. You can choose handwriting too.
Later, when you're at a text box you will can toggle between English and Chinese using a "EN" key at left side of your spacebar.

Remove Long Press Numbers and Symbols from Standard Samsung Keyboard

Is there a way to remove the Long press Numbers and Symbols from the standard Samsung Keyboard?
What is weird is that I've seen videos on Youtube with clean Samsung keyboard, with no long press symbols or character on the letters or numbers, so I do not understand why my phone has those, see attached print screen. "+ on the Q", "= on the E", "@ on the A", etc.
Thanks

Please can somebody confirm if the T-Mobile phone comes with long press numbers and symbols on the keyboard by default?, I've seen multiple marketing video with clean keyboard, so maybe the international version of the phone uses a different keyboard

Hell ... I need secondary symbols but they disappeared
My samsung keyboard is all white ... without symbols ... just letters
and I need the symbols ... dont know why they wont show up
If anyone have solution then let me know

You need root and system mount r/w. Go to /system/csc and remove this line from feature.xml and/or others.xml files:
Code:
<CscFeature_Sip_EnableSymbolInSecondary>en_US</CscFeature_Sip_EnableSymbolInSecondary>
Or just remove "en_US" leaving the tags value empty. Reboot and enjoy clean keyboard.

Hi.. My symbols dissappeared too. Also my little arrow to accept a word. Did you ever figure this out?

Do you use xposed mods? I installed Wanam xposed mod yesterday and seen my symbols were gone. I checked to make sure the Enable symbols was check marked after I change some of the other settings and they came back.

You have to edit or replace /system/csc/feature.xml
If you have installed new rom then get its feature.xml from zip file and overwrite it with proper permissions,
Otherwise you have to edit feature.xml
Thats how I done it.

[Q] Logitech Bluetooth Keyb. doesn't do foreign lang. characters (ö, ä, ü) on Android

I got a Logitech Bluetooth Keyboard (K810), English keyboard layout, which I would like to use with my Android smartphone (LG G2). The pairing of the devices works fine, but I can't get it to display German language characters such as ö, ü, ä etc..
Those characters, however, work fine when I use the keyboard with a Windows-PC, after having changed the keyboard-language-settings in the OS.
Is there a way to do the same thing on Android?
In fact I would need to be able to toggle between the two languages (Eng & German), since I prefer to use the English-keyboard-layout when writing in English and the German one when writing in German. That's easy on Windows, just press the Windows-key together with Space, but how to do on Android?
Any idea how that could be accomplished? If toggle is not possible, then I would prefer to permanently change the keyboard input language on my LG G2 to German.

I had a similar problem. Updated my LG G2 to Android 5.0 but no help. I cannot find "Android keyboard" setting. I did find that on one of my tablets, and that one worked.
I installed External Keyboard Helper Demo (then Pro: 2.49 euros). It helped. Even then I had to select
Settings > Language and Input > Default (sp?) > External Keyboard Helper Pro (or Demo)
It is not enough to select EKH elsewhere, I had to be select EKH as the Default too before äö started to work.
How to get that "Android keyboard" option (not just "LG keyboard") without EKH?

Yes, I also got it working after I installed the full version.
However, I don´t fully understand your question from above. What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

If I have EKH keyboard as the default, I have to select LG keyboard as the default (which takes some time) to be able to use the phone without the external keyboard. Therefore, EKH does not seem to be very useful (it is almost worse than not having an external keyboard).
So I wish that when the external keyboard is not connected, the internal (virtual) keyboard should be usable (without that tedious manual selection). How to achieve that?
I believe that my external keyboard should work automatically and without EKH. Some other devices do find and use correctly my keyboard. They have the option "Android keyboard" besides "LG keyboard". I don't see the "Android keyboard" option anywhere.

Have you been able to pair your Logitech-keyboard with your phone using bluetooth?

If yes, you could simply set the normal keyboard at default and activate the Logitech-keyboard only when you need. This can be done easily by first activating the soft-keyboard by clicking into the text-filed. This will open the soft-keyboard. Then pull down the notification-bar and click on "Select keyboard" in order to change to the Logitech keyboard.
It is correct, it works also without External Keyboard Helper.

[Q] How do you change keyboards?

I'm on the current 1.54.651.8 (well, a rooted version of it), and can't figure out how to change input methods, for example, to a 3rd-party keyboard.
It used to be, you'd long-press in an input field, and you'd get a prompt to select the input method.
Some say you should see a keyboard icon in the status-bar.
I don't get either of these. In settings / Language and keyboard, there's no obvious way to change the default device.
Long-press on the spacebar also does nothing (except to repeat space).
Is this maybe broken in this update? (Or in the BadSeed Rooted Stock 1.54.651.8 I'm running?)

If you get SwiftKey keyboard as you set it up it will say set as default might work

Hmm. Well, that worked.
The SwiftKey setup popped up the Choose Input Method dialog that I was looking for.
Then I selected Smart Keyboard as my input method.
I can't see uninstalling/reinstalling this every time I want to change the Input Method though.

Bring up a chat so your keyboard is open, then bring the notification bar down. There should be a keyboard listed, select the icon and choose your input method
