Hello,
I am using a Dell mouse/touch pad. It works awesomely attached to my armrest. The only issue I am have is that I have to toggle off the "enable hardware keyboard" option in order for the keyboard to popup and fully function when I want to enter text. I was wondering if anyone might know a way to have this permanently toggled off using a program or by other possible means? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Try downloading a 3rd party keyboard and setting that has the default one, I know some of them have the option to automatically disable the on screen keyboard when a USB one is attached.

Thank you for the advice,
I have tried multiple 3rd party keyboards. Still, every single time the unit boots from a full shut down I have to toggle off "Hardware Physical keyboard". (Picture attached). Just the tip of what looks like predictions shows until I toggle the setting off. I have still been researching and have yet to find a solution.
Oh, I have also tried 2 other touch pads. The issue remains across all ROMs tried.
Ohx2, I have also tried Xposed disable full screen keyboard and have also used app settings to manually set the DPI for the keyboard to no avail.
What about disabling the keyboard app in settings>applications?

I have tried a mix and match of disabling keyboard in settings/titanium backup. If I hold on the notification and view, the app info is part of the Android System. Still can't find a way or an app to change this input/hardware physical keyboard prompt.

Maybe there is an xposed module that will do what you need?
Just following up. I found another post on XDA with another person trying to accomplish the same thing I was. The post doesn't really go into any detail, but I was able to accomplish having the hardware keyboard toggled off on boot. It took the apps Tasker and Secure Settings. Created a task in Tasker, selected the Secure Settings app, selected the hardware keyboard option from one of the selections, set it to turn off in tasker, then created a profile attached to the task to perform it at boot. I hope this helps anyone else wanting to attempt the same thing.

Hi guys
I cant remember if I had this done before but isnt it possible to turn the vibration off when the keys are pressed in the dialer? I do have the KB Mod but all options for the keyboard feedback are switched off, but it still does it
any ideas
Press and hold Menu until the keyboard comes up, tap the settings icon.Now select Text Input and uncheck the Vibrate when typing option.

Ah yes you are correct, it only turns off vibration for the Keypad and not the dialer, i shall keep looking
EDIT: Yep, that kinda sucks... even by turning off the Haptic feedback and Vibrate on keypress only affects when you use literally the keyboard like typing messages even if the description of the Haptic feedback feature says that it is also applicable to certain UI interactions. It would have been good if the dialer were included in the interactions. But the truth is the dialer seems like an another story, which I think it is a bit weird.
Once full root access is available, hopefully we can install an app like Wysie's Contacts app (available on Nexus) which allows you to disable the feedback function on the dialer.

Aye, it's a little annoying though and I too would like to find a way to have it's function disabled
As mentioned above, I think once full root access is available hopefully, and if it is made available for the Desire, we can install an app like Wysie's Contacts app (available on Nexus) which allows you to disable the feedback function on the dialer.
the same problem as the unanswered question at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1517293 exists on the note 2.
whenever a physical keyboard is connected to the phone using USB or Bluetooth the software keyboard is switched to the stock Samsung keyboard.
a null keyboard or prediction-only keyboard would make more sense.
does anyone know of a way to disable this automatic switch, or change it so a different keyboard like null keyboard is loaded instead?
I'm also facing the same problem on Jelly Bean Samsung S3 as well .. searching for the solution
best solution i could find so far is to freeze the samsung keyboard using titanium backup(android refuses to freeze it through the apps list)
you need to reboot after freezing it, otherwise it will completely disable the keyboard switcher notification when you connect a keyboard, and it doesn't return after disconnecting it.
Download null keyboard from the play store.
Select it when you use an external. That way you get to use your whole screen instead of the redundant on-screen keyboard taking up half of it.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
only to have it revert to Samsung keyboard again if the keyboard loses connection for a second.
if you'd read my original post properly you would have known I now of null keyboard, but that's not going to change the fact that no matter what keyboard I use its still going to switch back to the Samsung keyboard as soon as I connect a physical keyboard.
I know of only 2 ways to prevent that: freeze/delete the Samsung keyboard, or use a rom without the Samsung keyboard.
I have gotten this working with moderately aggressive use of tasker. I tried to post this but my post was flagged and blocked for some reason. As soon as I hear back why or if I can go ahead, I will share what I did.
---------- Post added at 08:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 AM ----------
Without going into too much detail, I set a tasker shortcut to first enable accessibility for tasker (done with Secure Settings plug-in) and put in on my home screen or app drawer. (Must tap this before connecting keyboard.)
Then a profile triggered by the notification "Keyboard connected" which waits 2 secs and then enables the keyboard of choice.
Also set a profile triggered by notification "Keyboard disconnected" which set keyboard back to my desired default and turned off Tasker's accessbility option.
The reason for the accessibility settings are: Tasker can't react to notifications without accessibility turned on, and I couldn't find any other state that matched a USB keyboard being connected. Also, enabling Tasker's accessibility will disable AirView and TalkBack for some reason, and also messes with the SwiftKey function of Samsung Keyboard, so I wanted the accessibility to be turned back off after I disconnected the keyboard.
Hey All,
Does anyone know a way to turn off haptic feedback for the Sense TV app. I love the app and it has since replaced my TV remote, the only thing is it vibrates pretty intensely with every button press. (Just about goes crazy if you try to go up and down quickly with the volume.) I'd like to be able to just turn it off, but have not found a way to do so. Also, I have haptic feedback turned off via the Sense settings, so I figure its a built in feature of the app that may have to be modified. Let me know what you guys think.
Also, if it matters, I'm running ViperOne and have not found a way to tweak it through there or Xposed either.
Thanks!
Check the xposed module "app settings" and revoke the permission Vibrate.
Hope this helps.

Damn. Thought it could work.
Check out this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ovmobile.appopslauncher
it did the trick for me
no more annoying vibration in remote control
even works without root
I plan to use my old note 2 as a carPC.
Will likely only be using it for media, GPS, and read my OBD2.
Needs to be compatible with the Tasker app (not sure if an issue or not) and the OTG-Y cable.
Need to be able to disable lock screen entirely, be able to have homescreen rotation, and on screen navigation.
Would appreciate any input!
TIA!
Alright, now I'm running LiquidSmooth 4.4.4
Has built-in option for on-screen navi. Working great.
Installed an app correctly named 'screen rotation' and does exactly what I need.
Enabled developer option so I could enable stay awake while charging.
Discovered I could disable the lock options entirely (sorry, company has had me on iPhone for awhile now).
Still trying to find something to allow double tap screen for sleep on/off. Recommendations please.
Going to test Tasker here in a moment.
Don't have an OTG-Y cable to test with this ROM. Can anyone confirm?

Check out the Xposed module named DoubleTapToSleep. It allows you to turn off the screen by double tapping on the status bar. It works pretty well. The original thread for it is below.

Thanks!
That looks like it would almost work. I still need to awake via tap as well.
All the buttons will be covered.
Only need it for night driving really. Quick and easiest way I can think of.

I haven't seen any apps that turn on the screen by tapping on it for a Samsung device. You could use an app that turns on the screen by tapping on the proximity sensor.

I like AOD and i have it on as default. However, when I'm at work I don't need to have it on since I can see my notifications & calls from the computer (using Join extensions & app). I tried messing around with Tasker but unable to accomplish anything so far. Do you guys know any quick way to turn on/off AOD without having to go into the display settings?
Edit - Found an app that let me toggles AOD
App is called "Tiles". There's a tile in the app called "Always On", switch it on, then run this adb command to allow the app make secure setting changes: adb shell pm grant com/rascarlo.quick.settings.tiles android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Link to app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rascarlo.quick.settings.tiles
One workaround. Pull town quick tiles, touch menu (gear to right of date), then in search box type "ambient", that will let you choose "Battery > Ambient Display". It takes long steps the first time. Next time just pull down tiles, touch gear, touch search bar, touch "ambient" (that stays in list), touch home button. It seems the 2XL keeps the last five searches.
There may be a better way, but I have not found it yet. Been trying to do it with Tasker and maybe a plugin, but nothing yet.

I have Tiles, granted permission through ADB, and the Ambient Display toggle does nothing.
Edit: It turns on and off the "New notification - wake screen when you receive notifications" setting. Not the Always On setting..
Edit 2: You need to use the Always On tile and not Ambient Display. Works well!

If you could, please provide a link to "Tiles". I tried searching for it in the Play Store and most of the hits are games.
I'm trying to find a solution to my phone screen turning off when it's plugged in and a call comes in. Maybe this is the fix I've been looking for.

Here you go: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rascarlo.quick.settings.tiles
You can also squeeze your phone/activate assistant and say "turn always on display off"
Tasker does work, try the "custom setting" option.
