Can't Quickly Change Keyboards with KANGY v7 - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Enable auto spell/suggestions w/ swype keyboard

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

Widgetlocker problem

So I installed Widgetlocker and used it for a bit but since then I wanted to go back to stock and uninstalled it.
The problem is when I was running Widgetlocker I picked an alternate wallpaper and now after uninstalling Widgetlocker the alternate wallpaper still appears on my lockscreen! How do I get rid of that?!?
app drawer > open personalize > Lock screen style > choose the first style which should be Wallpaper > before pressing on Apply, press Settings > Use custom wallpaper > Enjoy!

Default camera change, 4.4.2

How would I go about changing the default camera app, tried going to settings, apps, camera, but defaults is grayed out. I open the app I want to use as default but no camera picker, is there a way to force a default
Running stock kyocera hydro icon 4.4.2 rom, not rooted and using art runtime
Sent from my C6730 using XDA Free mobile app
Go to Settings > Apps > All > Scroll down until you find your current default camera app > click it > scroll down until you see a 'clear defaults' button > click it > then perform an action that requires a camera and select the one you want to use by default. It should look something like this.

Accessing the 'Standard' Lollipop settings menu

Hi all,
When I open the settings on my lollipop device I seem to get a cut down version of the settings options (Menu's and menu options are missing, like accessibility, advanced audio setting, etc)
I know these options can be accessed because I somehow managed to get to the advanced audio settings using nova launcher (I cant remember how)
Is there an app or something like that I can download to open the standard setting app?
Thanks.

Change behavior of long-press on home?

I want to change the behavior of the long-press on the home button so it doesn't try to launch assistant. I'd like it to do nothing.
I tried disabling assistant, but this just displays an obnoxious banner telling me to turn on assistant.
I did find this app that allows you to remap the button to all sorts of things, but would prefer something that doesn't need all those permissions.
This is with 3-button navigation enabled as I'm using Nova Launcher on Android 10. Phone is not rooted.
[edit] and of course, I found the answer immediately after posting the question:
Settings > Apps & Notifications > Default apps > Assist app - change it to "None"

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Only thing is if you use the "Squeeze" for Google Assistant it disables that too. Which is good or bad depending on how you feel about GA. I just got mine today so I'm still playing with things. Might delete later,IDK.
