So I was able to enable it and get it to work when using "samsung keyboard", but when i switch to swype it doesnt work whatsoever, is that just me?
And it's even kind of annoying in Samsung Keyboard, the auto spell/suggestion bar bounces up and down when it has a suggestion and goes away when it does.. other android versions I've used leave that bar there so as to not assult your eyes with bouncing text.
Any suggestions?
Swype settings and auto-spell/correct are, I believe, independent from the Android auto-spell/correct dictionary (from my read of the Swype boards).
Settings for Swype are accessible through Home > Settings > Locale and text > Swype
When I tried out the OTA ICS ROM, I was able to switch keyboards from the notification menu. I now have KANGY v7 installed, which doesn't seem to have any apparent way to change the keyboard without going into system settings > language and input > default keyboard.
Is there a way to force this menu back?
Never mind, I found it.
In Settings > ROM Control > General UI, I had to check off "Show IME Switcher" and reboot my phone.
Hi Team,
I'm using Lollipop 5.01, franco kernel on my N5. I would like to make Go Keyboard as default keyboard. However when i do so, after some time it reverts back to google keyboard. I have to manually again put it as default. If I remove google keyboard , then Language and keyboard under settings FC. Is there a way to edit build.prop or some setting to make Go Keyboard as default?
regards
Hitesh
Keyboard default reverting is a ROM/keyboard issue.
I'm on the Verizon S7 Nougat. So far, it's really nice, but I have noticed that I can no longer choose a default keyboard like you could before in the settings.
In the Verizon S7 Nougat, there is Settings->Language and Input->Virtual Keyboard.
From there, it lists the keyboards (such as Google voice typing, GBoard, Samsung keyboard, SwiftKey Keyboard) and then a Manage Keyboards item.
Selecting any of the keyboards takes me to the settings section for that keyboard, but nowhere is there a way to set it as the default keyboard.
If I select "Manage Keyboards", each keyboard is listed with a toggle switch. The only way I can switch to another keyboard is to toggle off all the other keyboards, and toggle on the keyboard I want to use.
Is this the same for non-VZW S7s on Nougat?
I did a search from the settings screen for "Default Keyboard" and other permutations but there is no such setting in the Nougat version of the VZW S7.
Just curious if this is the same for AT&T, Sprint, etc models under Nougat or that VZW and/or Samsung screwed up?
Uninstall and reinstall SwiftKey, when you first run it it will allow you to set it as default
Yeah, had to do similar thing with my Finacee's AT&T Edge. She had to run G-Board from the app drawer and let it prompt to be set as default after the upgrade.

That's not the problem. The problem is there's. I way to change the default keyboard without going into the Manage keyboards section and turning off the other keyboards. But it does appear to be a common problem across all s7s whether they're on Verizon or not. But thanks for the tip but rather than uninstalling, I'll just turn off the other keyboard in the manage keyboard section when I want to try out other keyboards. Hopefully, they'll fix the issue and give us the ability to easily change the default keyboard like we could in Marshmallow.

I see what you mean, yea they seem to have removed a lot of default app abilities, including setting a default 3rd party video player, there is only browser, contacts, messaging and launcher you can switch between defaults for from the default applications setting
Most people including myself want MX Player as default, no can do, was a bit miffed when I realised that, even disabling all video players apart from MX results in it saying there are no apps that can open this file type when you try opening a video from the gallery

The Verizon version doesn't have that setting anywhere. There isn't any "Default Keyboard" option at all. Sigh. Verizon screwed something up after the Nougat update.
I mistyped... Settings | general management | language and input | default keyboard.
I also installed a keyboard switcher since I use various keyboard for various tasks. Android 7.0, I'm a Verizon customer.
I just got a new vivo nex s and noticed that the keyboard changes from the default one when entering a password.
Normally I use Swype keyboard, but when I enter a password it changes to a keyboard that resembles the default one.
Is this normal and can it be changed?
you can disable Password Keyboard under settings, more settings, input method, security input.

For me it was under Settings -> Language & Input. And from there a toggle for "Security input" is at the top.
Yes that can be, I have Chinese nex s with Android 9, I thing they changed the settings a little in Android 9
Thank you. Can't believe I've missed that ?
