Does somebody knows how to disable Gingerbread Keyboard?
Ik hate that one.. and if i install some other keyboards, gingerbread wont change!?
Please help?
That's easy to do ! You just have to download a keyboard (for example GO keyboard), then you have to uncheck Touch Input keyboard in your preferences !

Haha sounds easy, but i wont help me
I've got a Custom ROM installed on it.. and normaly you can choose between Keyboards, but of i do CHECK an other keyboard, like GO for example, it wont pop up when i want to type something. And yes, normaly it do works, but this time none of the other keyboards wil activate
I had the same problem before but i found a solution,
I maintain my finger on the screen (where the text is typed) a popup appears and i can chose a tab which is named "Mode de saisie" in french (maybe input mode in english) and then the system ask to me to choose between the different keyboards I installed.
I don't know if you understand me, but if you don't you can ask me some questions

Soo still no changes..

I use the HTC Diamond and wonder if there is a solution to the following:
When I write an SMS i like to use the "phone keypad", but when I'm in Word or Opera I like to use the full keyboard.
When I change the keyboard I do so for all programs (The keyboard is "Global"), but what I'd like was if the keyboard selected was for the program I was in ("Local" selection of keyboard). This would make things a lot more easy.
Is there already en option making this possible?
Is there software around fixing this?

Welcome to the forum
Do a search for SIP changer, install it, then open in programs and select your desired permanent keyboard.
Good luck and enjoy!
Hi all,
Do you know a way to enable back the original WM keyboard ? I really miss it because of the gesture settings for shift, backspace, space and and enter keys!
Or do you know a way to enable gesture settings in HTC keyboard ?
Thank you.
Yes and I want wm Keyboard ... please help !!! THX.
the same problem
about 5 hours in active search and with no results
does anybody knows it is possible to take native kbd files from wm 6.1?
I'm wanting to test some keyboards before I buy, not sure what the original win mo one is like or how to get it, but imagine it would be quite hard.
Can anyone PM me some links to get some keyboards to try, like Resco etc? Sorry for hijacking!
In sk-tools I have seen under "Eingabemethoden" (= should input method or something simelar) that the standard WM keyboards are just deactivated.
So you can give it a try with sk-tools and reactivate whatever you want.
I will not try it for you because so far my HD is running fine and I want to wait with the next hard reste for the next rom ...
Best regards,
dingolino

Thank you dingolino you are right, the keyboard is still there but hidden or may I say quite buried by HTC
I don't have the registered version of skTools so I browsed the web to try to find a way to enable it back :
First I tried to enable it in registery : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4990566&postcount=3
But it wasn't enough ...
So then I tried SIP Change which allows to force to display the keyboard But the little arrow that allows to choose the keyboard still doesn't display the keyboard in the list So for now I have to launch SIP Change each time I want to choose the standard WM Keyboard (which BTW is surprisingly good and finger friendly enough if you enable gestures )
So the last thing I miss is some hack to remove the s*cking uhh I mean HTC "customized" little arrow at the right of the keyboard to display a menu with all the keyboards installed and also the settings for each keyboard. I tried to wander as discussed it the following post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=482910 but for now I didn't found a solution that works.
So if someone have a solution to disable the "HTC customized little arrow" and replace it by the standard one please share it with us
Cheers,

may i request someone to make an apk for the chinese keyboard & hwr that initially comes with X10?
i recently updated my phone and its gone don't know what happened zzz
i assume you can read chinese rite?
here you are
http://androidin.net/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=122272&highlight=
the original chinese input is suck,just install google,QQ,or Sougou pinyin from the market
Can´t change chinesse input method!!!
Dear all, I have the big problem that I have in my x10 mini the touchpal in chinesse as default, it is a system app. So I can´t use other input method or app to write sms. How can I change the lenguaje of this app?? I want spanish or english!! Are there any apps which make this work?? Thanks
I too am looking for this input in an apk. Willing to 'donate' for the cause should it work.
I know other inputs are possibly better but I'm used to this one now and can make it work as fast and easy as I want it to. Familiarity is good.
edit: and I'm learning Chinese but not fluent enough yet to read the above linked forum and request a Chinese person put it together.

Are you talking about this one?
^^ that's the one but I tend to use the qwerty for pinyin input. Do you have an apk for it? Are you able to mash one together? I'm still fairly new with android stuff and don't want to stuff up my beloved.

Yes, yes I do.
I've attached it here.
If you'd like, you can donate to me here
but it's not really a big deal.
Cheers, is this your work?
I pulled it from the system off my phone.
Wasn't much, but yeah I did it.
Enjoy
Alright cool. I don't mind honoring my previous statement and donating a small amount, but I'll test it out first to see if it works.
Thanks again
is there one for chinese hand writing input?
The HWR is handwriting recognition. I tested this now and it works great!
Thanks to zephyrix for sorting this out
Question
Hi Everyone
I'm a new user, I just brough a sony ericsson x10a from At&t, And my phone don't have chinese keyboard on the phone, can someone please tell me step by step how to install it. Also, how can i uninstall all the app that come with the phowe.....thanks and have a nice day
1. Go to settings > Applications and check the unknown sources box.
2. From the market install an app installer (I use App Installer by ModMyMobile)
3. Download the apk file uploaded earlier in this thread
4. Open it with your new app installer. This will install the keyboard.
To switch to this keyboard press and hold in a text field and go to input method and select Chinese Keyboard.
To switch from English to PinYin to Handwriting Recognition press the cog icon in the bottom left of the keyboard.
To change settings of the keyboard press and hold the cog icon in the bottom left of the keyboard.

Did the apk say it installed correctly? If so then you should be able to select the Chinese keyboard by pressing and holding your finger on the text box and selecting 'Input method' then Chinese keyboard. Note: I've not tried the apk here on the android 2.1 update. It may not work.
it's not working on version 2.2.1
i'll recommend HKIME

Are you using an X10? It's worked on all X10 ROMs I've tried, but won't install on anything else..

I always used swiftkey on my N1. Now I have a Nexus S and I really like the stock keyboard, but there is no Dutch dictionary on the Nexus S.
Is it possible to import a custon(Dutch) dictionary into the stock keyboard? That would be really nice
You could try this package I created from CyanogenMOD 7 for Nexus S. It can however be installed on ModacoROM as I have and probably also stock nexus s.
It has the dutch keyboard/autocorrect hidden under 'Italian'. I didn't know how to get it under its own language. So I abused the Italian language for that.
I'm not sure if you need root either to install, anyway good luck with it.
If you have successfully installed it, you'll get another Android keyboard in your language and keyboard menu. Select the languages you want and Italian for the dutch dictionary. Please be aware you need to set them in both settings when you click "Input Languages" (it asks you to complete action using).
Should be fairly safe, you can remove it under manage applications and then choosing "Android keyboard". The stock keyboard that ships with the device itself and can't be removed afaik.
good luck.

Is it possible to add custom keyboard languages (that are defined in the SDK) without root?
I think you would need to build/compile it from AOSP. What I'm doing is probably quick and dirty but it works (I'm still new to this android development). Think you need root though to install this.
If you like I could try and make another APK with Swedish keyboard/autocorrect hidden under the Italian language.

Oke. Here is the Swedish APK. Select Italian 2 times when you try to select the input languages (for each action).
Might need a reboot to have it work, didn't need it here. Also I'm on a rooted nexus s and haven't tested it without root.
I'v tried removing it from application management, which works. After that you are back to the stock keyboard. Looks safe so far
have fun..
note: I used adb install LatinIME.apk to install this.

Thanks, I've tried but can't get it to work. What do you mean with: Select Italian 2 times when you try to select the input languages (for each action)?
EDIT: Okay, understood. Still doesn't work. Unrooted also.
Hmm.. So it installs and you get another android keyboard in your settings menu right?
What might help is installing another keyboard (free from market). set that as default (select it as input method in browser for instance). go to settings and select the recently installed android keyboard i gave you. deselect all languages in the input languages menu (once for each action popup). close settings, open it up again. select english and italian in input languages (once for each action popup) and close settings.
now open text messaging or anything else that uses the keyboard. select the android keyboard as input method. hold the spacebar and select italian. it should now give you swedish predictions.
i'v seen it here also that it at times didn't give me dutch, but after redoing all the settings it fixed it.
just make sure you have enabled the keyboard in the settings menu and set the settings for it like i said. if it doesn't work i don't know.
Is there any other way to get, for example, the Dutch dictionary in the Gingerbread keyboard, without having to abuse one of the existing languages? Can't you just add additional languages?
I'm using a Nexus S, and I heard that there are versions of the phone that download additional keyboards during the initial setup, based on the location of the phone (network, country, ...), if they have an internet connection available, see for example this screenshot: h~t~t~p~:~/~/~plixi~.~com~/~p~/~67798426 (can't post a link, so just delete all ~ chars).
I'm also wondering if this method won't cause problems when you get an OTA upgrade (e.g. to 2.3.3). Will you need to do it all over again? :-s
Thanks!
Has there been any progress on this? I don't know why android doesn't just include all languages possible. If an iPhone can do it, surely our phone should!
I heard that Android 2.3.3 adds support for a lot more languages, also on the US/UK Nexus S, including Dutch ...
Hello,
Nougat update on S7 has completely f**** up my stock keyboard.
With Marshmallow:
I was able to type at high speed with relevant bilingual autocorrection whatever language (french/english) was set on the keyboard.
The return key was allowing me to cancel the auto correction by leaving the typed words.
With Nougat:
No bilingual autocorrect, I have to select the right language anytime I am switching fomr english to french otherwise the keyboard corrects everything into the language set on with the space bar key.
I tried to use Swiftkeyboard but not a big fan of it since question marks is not accessible straight (have to long press the . key) + the numeric pad is awful, tiny and showing plenty of symbol (when it comes to enter only digits) and the € key is sent to page 3 of the keyboard which is annoying for euro countries and there is no .com key neither."
Even if it does bilingual autocorrection and there's plenty of customization capabilities, all mentioned above cannot be changed.
Is there anyway to get back to the well performing stock keyboard without root ?
Thank you
This happened to me as well. Unfortunately, I still haven't found a fix for that. Deleting the app data/cache for the appropriate apps didn't help. So anyone else any idea?

I know there are many great alternatives, but not fulfilling all my requirements.
For example, I need Umlauts on my keyboard and a number row.

Umlauts: ä, ö, ü
(I know you can achieve these by long tapping the letter but I want it right on the keyboard.)
It doesn't even learn your typing from your other app like fb or email..
Stock Marshmallow keyboard was way more customizable i.e offensive words/learn from other apps...

Hi guys! Same for me! I use 2 languages and the autocorrect is a pain. Maybe Samsung had a 3rd party work on The Marshmallow keyboard and now the contract is over? They really ****ed up big time!
I cant add short cuts to my stock keyboard. To type my name i eould type vcl and my entire long ass name pops up. I cant figure it out. HELP PLEASE, Vinny

Same thing for me, I usually can change the language when SMS'ing between English and Vietnamese. Now I no longer have that choice and don't know how to fix it either.
A lot of other issues:
+ When using Waze for navigation, when I make a phone call after 15' or 30' the screen will return back to Waze, but it's not
+ The quality of sound for both phone talking and music listening is bad (interference noise), and the volume at max level is much lower
+ Very slow to launch new applications
+ Some no response to touch screen.

I had my phone trained before to understand French, Italian, and Dutch in addition to my default English. Now, a Dutch keyboard (and ergo dictionary) are not even a choice. There's only seven languages to choose from!
Oh, quick addition: Before flashing with Odin I hard reset my S7 and did set everything up as new. So no incompatibility with any apps or so there shouldn't be any incompatibility with any apps or so.
I am also really annoyed by the N keyboard update. Just got used to the keyboard on MM and started to like it. Even more than gboard or swiftkey.
Does anyone know where I can download the old keyboard? Or which version it was? I want it back. I know that I cannot just install it over the system app, but maybe we can modify the old version and install it as additional keyboard?
I mean getting it back doesn't seem to be a problem, just extract it from any 6.0 rom zip, but installing it/modifying it would be difficult for me.

could you extract the old keyboard apk?
Question: To install the old keyboard app, it is necessary that the package name of the old app is not the same as the one that is currently installed, otherwise it would not let us install it/over. We cannot remove the current system app without root... Is changing the packagename enough? I would try this...
Because here I found a thread that shows how to change the packagename https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2760965
I'll see what I can do.
Patience is a virgin.
So I just noticed that one could download the old version of the com.sec.android.inputmethod.apk on apkmirror.com. So now we just need someone to modify it and make it compatible for Nougat. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Same issues maybe like you guys, really loved the marshmallow keyboard. Maybe someone can make it compatible with nougat.
I upgraded to 7.0 on my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. BIG mistake! First my keyboard became mostly unresponsive. Then after a reboot nearly every App button left the screens. Now, I cannot bring them back, because now holding down an APP button to move an App back to the home screen cannot be done. Nothing happens. Other issues are there, but these are the most important.
