SwiftKey has TWO emoji buttons?? - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey!
does anybody else have TWO emoji buttons in the bottom row? one on the left, between 123 and [space], and one on the far right, that sometimes changes to a Return arrow.
it's SUPER annoying. I keep hitting it instead of 123, and deleting stuff I accidentally wrote there is even more annoying because backspace is somewhere else than expected in the ****ing emoji tab.
driving me nuts. any ideas?
this only happens on this device. everything fine on my lg g4.
happens with Stock AND Cyanogenmod Nightly. which is awesome btw.

SwiftKey user here! But I don't have your issue. I changed the Emoji button to a long press of the enter button. Have you tried this? Deleting and installing again SwiftKey?
I'm a noob compared to the people here on xda, so what I'm writing is not guaranteed to work =p
Wanted to give you a feedback anyway

how did you change that? it changes automatically for me, depending on the app I use, which is very annoying... I can't find a checkbox..?

In personalization (I think, I have it in Italian on my phone), check the "enter button" box, it has a short description under it that should be something like "long press for Emoji"

[Q] Swype behavior question

I have noticed something very annoying to me. With some versions of swype you can click back in the middle of a word you previously typed, and it would automatically jump to the end of the word so you could either select a suggested alternative, or hold backspace to delete the word. Other versions, when you click back in the middle of the word, it stays there, in the exact spot you tapped. I hate that.
Is there a way to make swype forward the cursor to the end of the word? Or do I need to use military precision with my tapped selection.
I have this issue too. Also I would like to be able to get rid of that language key. It's useless and a ware of space. Who is swapping between languages so frequently that they need a dedicated button for it which causes the other 99 percent of people using the keyboard to accidentally press it and screw up their predictions.

Both of these are problems I'm having that annoy me
But I believe the moving of the button thingy to the end of the word is just a characteristic of the new version of swype so that's not really an "issue" or "bug" its just there
And that language button wasn't a mistake either lol but it would b nice to chance it or like increase the size of the space button or something

lol, that language key messed w/ my head for a little bit last night as I accidentally pressed it w/o knowing that I did ("WTH, I have to add 'over' to my dictionary??).
And didn't we have the option to cancel a word (say a mistype) in the previous version before it was printed, where now you have to delete your mistakes every time? Seems that I am deleting a lot more than I used to...
:\

I actually thought this was rom-based at first, but now I'm not sure. I'm on EI22 with a recent Swype in my custom rom, and there's no automatic moving.

I held the language key and it gave me the option to choose one language. Now if I accidentally hit it, it doesn't do anything.
Ok so an alternative to the cursor jumping to the front of the word, albeit, a less efficient one, but none-the-less; you can double tap a word and it will be highlighted, then you can just re-swype the word and it will replace the highlighted one.
It'll have to do for now until they ever change it back. Oh well.
And yea like Randomking said, just go to the languages and uncheck all of them except english. That should cause the button to do nothing as well. So there's 2 ways to get around that one.

[Q] Recent App of CM9

Long pressing home button in CM9 brings up recent app.
But there is no some sort of 'clear all apps' button, we have to swipe them off one by one.
I did search around in the forum, but there is no such thing like 'clear all app' or something just ONLY modify the 'recent app'.
So... help?

[Q] How do you switch apps?

Forgive me if this is obvious. I'm coming from CM 10.1 and the LG interface is a huge turn off. I would expect the icon with three horizontal lines next to the home soft key to bring up the app switcher but it doesn't. Can I get that functionality on the G Pad? TIA.

I would like this to know the answer to this too. Is there any way to enable the default Jelly Bean launcher?
I figured it out after googling. You press and hold the home soft key.
Cm can't come fast enough on this tablet

Long press on home key is the default way to bring up the app switcher. You can install GMD Auto Hide app, you can set it up to give you a dedicated key to bring up the app switcher.

I hope it doesn't become inconveniently obvious that when I ask questions about using LG's interface that I am completely inexperienced with android phones. What I know comes from my satisfying CM 10.1 experience on two Nook tablets.
So anything that is familiar from the LG phone world (makes sense they'd do that) I won't know.
Two other things I'd like to do.
Eliminate the screaming half screen notification pull down for something "normal."
Change the background on the settings app to black rather than white.
Thanks,
Ron
you can use 3finger left slide to" minimize" an app and then recall sliding to the right too

You can change the soft buttons with Xposed Mod.

I expected different behaviour, too
Has also much more abilities than just changing the navigation bar.
Nice workaround for some things, until custom roms (hopefully) arrive ;D

Slide up from virtual keys

Some roms (like sling) have a very useful but useless feature, but I don't know the name! I'm looking for the name to see if I can find more information about it and how to edit it.
The thing is, when you press one of the 3 virtual keys and hold it and swipe up to the screen, this feature comes, but only showing Google now and quick memo, which can be found in other shortcuts as well, so I would like to know the name of the feature, and if there is some way of add of edit apps or shortcuts there.
Thanks in advance!
Here is a picture of the feature
