Turn it off and key board wont show in status bar.
Sent from my samsung gt i9250 which is in the wrong state.

how do I turn it off? I still have this issue.

If you set either voice recognition to automatic or turn it off, the notification will go off. It's under settings>language&input> google voice typing.

What rom?

I found it out.
Go to settings>language&input>android keyboard options>vocal text immission and set it to off.

I don't see a "vocal text imission" in my nexus settings. Neither of these worked. Any other suggestions? I'm using Ultra Keyboard but I don't think it's a setting in there.

if you have any other keyboard installed, it will always show up because android is moving away from the "tap-and-hold" gestures. If all you have is the Google speech and the android keyboard, it should not show up in notifications

removing all the other keyboards removes the icon. (you might need to root your phone for that). i had to uninstall google text-to-speech and the samsung keyboard (i'm on a galaxy s2 but removing the icon is the same across all phones)

the ROM AOKP has a feature that allows you to hide this notification.

This worked for me on the Nexus S:
To get rid of stupid “select input method” notification
reboot to recovery
mount /system
in terminal, type “adb shell”
cd /system/app, rm OpenWnn.apk and PinyinIME.apk

I used Root Explorer, worked great. Thanks for the tip!

Sorry to bump an oldish thread, but here are the steps I followed to succesfully get rid of this annoying notification on my Xperia Ray:
Check the notification to see what keyboards are active.
Use Titanium Backup to freeze or uninstall the keyboards (other than the one you use, obviously).
Some keyboards might not show up in Titanium Backup. For these, use something like Root Explorer or adb to find them in system/app and delete them. For me, this was the Xperia Japanese Keyboard.
Make sure Google Voice Input is unchecked in Language/input settings.
Restart phone.
Voila, no more input method notification.

how about setting your "default keyboard" to the one you want to use and not to google's keyboard?

These instructions worked for me on my Galaxy S3, thanks Joe. I hadn't seen this notification until ICS.

[Q]Can we use different keyboard?

Most of time, amazon's keyboard won't close itself using 'back' button, I have to switch to home and back app again, just for close it.
I would like to try other keyboard from Google Play Store.
However, we don't have any way to switch it in options or settings.
I have installed Settings.apk, first menu show up, but it will close immediately once I click to enter 'keyboard and language'.
Anyone have successfully try it? or maybe we need sqlite to change some kind of settings.db file? thanks.

I have switched to Google keyboard using the settings.apk from the Bluetooth thread. You can even disable the on screen keyboard if you have a physical one.

Did you really successfully change it to Google keyboard, how did you do it? I'm also using settings.apk from the Bluetooth speak thread. But it will close and won't let me to change it. I would like to use Google keyboard as well. By the way, I'm using newest firmware with root and enable unknown source already.

Yes swapped it a while back.. I'm on older firmware.. I did however freeze the kftv launcher, I know it blocks certain android things like home key launcher not sure if it is blocking that as well.
I just opened settings, language and input.. There it showed buellerIME
It was greyed out and Google keyboard not checked.. Just checked it .. Clicked on it's settings and disabled popup keyboard.

Thanks, looks new firmware block this out. I could switch firmware back, however I do like new firmware, it works smoother than older one and has less issues so far.

I double checked for ya.. Its the kftv launcher that's stopping the change. If ya freeze it and make the change then unfreeze it it will stick. I recomend installing a launcher of some sort in just in case as a fallback while doing it...

[Q] Delete stock LG keyboard

How do I delete it as I use the newest lollipop one so want to remove the annoying notification in the status bar.

Root your phone and remove it using Titanium. The notification is just to say you have other keyboards, not specifically the LG keyboard's fault. It's an Android thing.

Depending on the ROM, there might be a toggle to turn off keyboard selection notification. Look in language/input in settings.

[Q] Disable LG emoji and quick settings?

I prefer Google's emojis over LG's, is there a way to change that?
Then there's the quick settings from LG in the notification bar which persists even after you uncheck all the options, is that removable as well?

Who in the world prefers Google emoji over LG wth? ?

I hate the LG emojis too, I'd much rather have the Google ones as well. As soon as we have root that'll be the first thing I change lol

You need to be rooted, then you can use emoji changer (google play) and switch to google or ios emoji, but i don't kniw if it compatible with G4, but it works on G3

Indeed, if rooted use mentioned app or you can flash a file like this one and have the changes as can be seen below (I prefer the Apple emoji) :good:

How to get rid of Touchpal?

Since i installed another keyboard i want to get rid of Touchpal since i allways get the "switch keyboard" notification which cant be disabled. How can i do that? Touchpal isnt in installed apps...

Settings, Language and keyboard, press current keyboard, then press choose keyboards and turn TouchPal off

If it's anything like the G4, you cannot disable the default keyboard.
I hope it isn't like the G4 in that aspect.

What's the other keyboard? I can turn TouchPal off on mine. Is the other keyboard enabled? If only one keyboard is enabled, you can't disable it.

Like jollywhitefoot, I can turn TouchPal off, as described. My other keyboard is Swiftkey, and interestingly, I had not been receiving any annoying prompts before I turned off TouchPal, which I only did just now.

That notification always comes up... because you always have Google Voice text as well... the only way I know how to eliminate the nag requires root

Touchpal is the default 10 keyboard?! ?
Sent from my SM-G935T using XDA-Developers mobile app

The other keyboard is "Multiling O Keyboard +Emojii". This is what i see in the screen where i activated this one, is there another way to open this menu than going through the Multiling O Keyboard app?

You need to download a keyboard to turn off touchpal. Change the default keyboard then go back then you can disable it iirc.

"TouchPal with HTC Sense".
I was sad to see the Sense keyboard go. IMO it has always been king of Android keyboards. Wished I could have put it on my tablets throughout the years.

That's what I've been wondering. Is there any way we could get the Sense keyboard back on the 10?
One of the things I love most about my M7..

As you can see im using Multiling O Keyboard, which is a keyborad available in the Playstore. What do you mean by "Change the default keyboard", im allready using my custom keyboard for writing.

You turn on the keyboard back and then make it default. Then go back into where you turn on and off the keyboard then you can turn off touchpal.

I dont get what you want to show me. My current situation in detail:
1. Factory fresh HTC 10
2. I download Multiling O Keyboard
3. I enable it in the screen with the sliders.
4. I set my used keyboard to MOK, so i will start typing on with it whenever i select a text field.
5. When i select a text field i get a notification in the notification bar that lets me choose the keyboard i want to use, Touchpal and MOK being the options.
6. I try to disable Touchpal in the slider menu (which i reach by a button in the notification), but its slider is greyed out. I can disable MOK without problems, though.

Try doing it through the settings and not the slider. I don't know why it doesn't work for you, but that worked from me. Based on what you typed that the only difference. I didn't use the notification shade route.

What do you mean "through the settings and not the slider"? Touchpal isnt in the apps menu, so i cant disable it there.

I didn't access the settings through the notification shade like you did.
I did everything from the settings itself.
I tapped
Settings
Language and keyboard
Current keyboard
Choose keyboard
Turned on keyboard
Back once
Changed current keyboard
Choose keyboard
Turned off keyboards
That worked for me and I don't get anything in the notification shade because I only have 1 active keyboard.

The very first reply to your original post explains what you need to do. Go into Settings, Language & Keyboard, Current Keyboard, Choose Keyboards and then turn off Touchpal. Don't access this menu via the slider notification as you have previously stated. If Touchpal is still greyed out, try to download another keyboard temporarily and see if you then get the option.
