After the update to 10.0.15 EU I can't use long press on space bar to switch languages in GBoard. The selection page pops up for a second and then force closes the keyboard app.
Just a heads up for the peeps that use multiple languages witch different keyboard layouts. Let us know if you have the same problem if you already installed the update!
And as per usual I have tried clearing caches and installing and uninstalling the app and so on. Using swiftkey for now.

Hi All,
Just switched from S4 to the ONE. Everything is great except for one thing that I've noticed. I don't mind the stock keyboard, but I prefer Swype a lot better. I installed Swype and chose it as default keyboard, however, upon reboot, the keyboard switched back to the stock keyboard. Anyone else experiencing this? If so, how did you fix this issue and choose the default keyboard as there is no option under settings and Language and Keyboards
I also had this problem and it looks like Swype is aware of it and are looking for the fix...
In the mean time.. After the reboot, open any method of typing ( I use the txt message window to any recent contact ) and once the keyboard is displayed, pull down the bar from the top (that has the time stamp). You will see a Choose input method box. Click on it and Select the Swype - Swype + Dragon option and you are back up and running. Happy swyping.
I switched to the Google keyboard because this was annoying me about Swype. I think the Google keyboard is actually better at swiping in general... Except punctuation. I also use "*" often and it's buried on the Swype keyboard.

First select the keyboard of your choice, disable fast boot (settings, power) reboot, check that you still have the desired keyboard, enable fast boot. It should persist after that.
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...
After the update to Nougat, my launcher (Action Launcher) lost the ability to use a gesture to launch multitasking. I waited to see if the app broke after the update, but testing newer versions and other launchers this specific behavior has remained. Other system level actions still work but multitasking is broken, and I was wondering how or even if it is possible to provide the correct access to the app to trigger the action. Thanks in advance.
P. S. I have reset the phone and cleaned cache in two separate occasions without success.
My other half installed SwiftKey as she prefers it, which is fine, but how do I change it back?! I don't want to uninstall SwiftKey but I can't work out how to switch the keyboard.
During SwiftKey installation there was a popup which asked you to change your keyboard but I can't find out how to being that menu back up.
Running 8.1
Driving me crazy, shouldn't be that hard should it?!

And then what? There is no option to change keyboard, it just tells me what keyboard I'm currently using...

Go to virtual keyboard and change, or add, what you want

I can add different language etc but I can't work out how to change what the default is!
It makes no sense to me, I just want to select what keyboard to use.
Whatever I select it still says SwiftKey in the settings.
@teapea: Beneath your used keyboard tap + manage keyboards
Ok, but how do I select the default? In manage keyboards, 3 are turned on, gboard, voice, and SwiftKey. The default is SwiftKey.
I just want to set the default gboard, no SwiftKey.
So keep the 3 turned on so I can change between them, but select the one which is currently used.
So after some time I decided to go with the 12.5 GLOBAL update which then gave me immediate problems like apps not rendering at all, general UI hanging, lagging or not responding, black wallpaper and lock screen and change of launcher.
So I re-enabled and re-installed most apps from Xiaomi adb/fastboot tool and most problems are now gone away.
But Nova Launcher which is the launcher I used mainly before update is nowhere to be seen. It was not to be seen in the home screen selection screen when hitting the home button, or via settings (while other launchers I installed were to be shown) and not even on the apps list. Trying to reinstall from Google Play show a message which says google play cannot install Nova Launcher. Trying to sideload APKs of several versions did not work either.
Anyone else experience this problem ? is it Xiaomi that decided to block this specific launcher ?
