[Q] Is there a way to remove the smiley key from the stock keyboard?

And the "globe/earth" key next to the spacebar? The functionality of the globe is redundant if you can hard press the spacebar for the same action.

Check the checkbox system default language in stock keyboard settings will remove the globe.

Where is it?

Click on Input languages. But I see you have multiple languages selected, don't think you can remove the globe with multiple languages. Try Multiling keyboard app from the PlayStore.

Okay, thanks. If I root my phone, is there a way to just edit the stock keyboard?

Or just buy SwiftKey

Not if you know how to modify the AOSP codes and recompile the stock keyboard. Give Multiling keyboard a try, I'm too using multiple IME and it fits my needs perfectly.

change keyboard tapping sound level

Q: Is it possible to change keyboard tapping sounds level?
Is it possible to do that with the stock keyboard?
I haven't found an option for that. There's just an on/off option.
Yet I could do that, in the past, with my Atrix smartphone, with Perfect Keyboard (PK) set as a default keyboard. I was used to keep the tapping sounds very low. A discreet but useful option.
Now, with the GNote 10.1, the stock keyboard is essential to give me the option to switch from keyboard input to handwriting input and vice-versa (PK doesn't give you that option if I'm not mistaken...).
So is there any workaround for that?

Settings - Sounds. Adjust system slider.

Yes I knew that. But it changes all system sound levels and not just the keyboard tapping sound level.
Anyway I'm trying that.
What other sound levels does it change?

Samsung boot sound is the only other thing I can think of off the top of my head. App, phone and notification all have a separate slider.

[Q] HTC One S - Liquidsmooth 2.3.1

Hello everyone!
I'm with a small problem with my Htc one s.
I've flashed the LiquidSmooth 2.3.1 in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2194095
It's a great rom and i'm happy with it but i just have a small problem and i've tried to search for an anwser but with no sucess.
The limit cap on the messages app it's 160 characters, after that it turns the sms into an mms.
Can i reverse this with some .apk? (do not want another app)
Thanks in advance!
Pedro Pinto

Can't you change this in the SMS settings?

I cant find any type of SMS settings for the stock app.
In the SMS app theres two buttons one for new SMS and the other is search.
In the settings of the phone the only thing related that i find is in the security options one setting for limiting the number of SMS that a app can use.

Go to settings>interface>hardware keys and enable show action flow. That will enable you to see the menu button on the lower right hand side of the messaging app

it's somewhat per app... if the text block has the mic icon you don't need one on the keyboard so it doesn't show on the keyboard in some apps, especially if the app has a search function. and you can always use the hot words if you have it set to a compatible language...

well for example, it wont show up in hangouts, which is the only time i used this function (to text)

Yeah, this is important, I use it quite a bit to text. Swiftkey has it as a long press but I like the standard keyboard better so I'd prefer to use that.

You also need to enable voice typing, in addition to the mic.

Things that make me go "derp", thank you!

Also, I'm not sure if this is a requirement, but I did not see changes in my keyboard after changing those settings until after I performed a reboot. YMMV.
