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

I know what you mean.. but on my HTC it did gave the options for an other keyboard, but on my friends HTC it only gave him a option for changing fonts, and not keyboards..
Soo still no changes..
Hi there dear sirs.
I am using ics stock rom unrooted and a strange thing happend to the english keyboard.
I am using huawei's Input method.
It uses the "phone" format (with the T9 option) and not the qwerty format as it was two days ago.
I am very sure that i didn't change anything on the settings.
On the greek language and on numeric keyboard, the format is qwerty.
It might seem like a nood question but i cannot locate the keyboard format setting.
Any help ? please ?
well i feel stupid, all i had to do is to "swipe" to the left or right to change the keyboard format.
Thank you anyway.
[Q] The single&double quote key on the dock not working? -and a bit on accented chars
Yesterday I did a factory reset on my TF700 (JB 4.1.1). Today I was typing and found that the single/double quote key was not working on my dock keyboard. My settings where Asus Dutch Keyboard. When I switch to Asus English Keyboard or the Android Dutch or English keyboard the key is working. When I use the screen keyboard with the Asus Dutch keyboard setting I can also type a ".
So it is only when I use the dock keyboard that it is not working. Maybe somebody can shed some light on the issue?
Another question on the docking keyboard. Is there a way to type symbol like ê or ë etc on the docking keyboard?
Edit:
Both issues have been fixed in the 10.4.4.23 firmware update. The double quote key is working again and a accented character can be typed for instance by typing a ["] and an [e] in sequence. Unfortunately this is not working when typing in a browser. But in the email app it is working.

Well, you found out the issue yourself: it is dependent on the type of underlying ASUS keyboard you choose. Well-known by now, to be honest, but your issue is right there.

Couldn't find it on the forum that's why I raised the question. Probably my bad search skills Thanx for answering. Now it's waiting for Asus to fix this.
Eh? It worked in .18.. I specifically remember the @ and " keys being fixed in it.. Dafuq Asus?
Why not just use the US keyboard? All keyboards in the Netherlands have been the US QWERTY keyboard since well before the turn of the millenium. The old original Dutch keyboard became redundant decades ago.
(I don't think we've ever used it to begin with. We're too busy running after the US.. Which for once i'm glad for, as the original NL keyboard was crap.)

The Asus Dutch Keyboard is not the keyboard you are refering to. Which is in fact ancient and I only saw one back in the 90s. The ASUS Dutch Keyboard used to be the same as the Asus English (US) keyboard except the input language is set to Dutch so it does Dutch spelling check. But you got me thinking because the keyboard I use it listed as ASUS Dutch (Holland) keyboard. Maybe it should be ASUS Dutch (US) keyboard.
But I don't know how to change this setting. Anybody can help out?
Ah. I always thought the spellcheck was related to the system language? Since you set Spell checker under Language, and not Keyboard & Input. (Suggestive typing drove me to near insanity, so I turned it off...) (I only type in English and my system language is set to UK English, so I never noticed whether the spellcheck is related to the keyboard or not.)
There used to be a Holland and US variant... Where the hell did that go? (I can't find it either.)
Yes, I think the spell check language is the system language (by default, and I have found no other way to change it). Accented letters have never worked for me on this device, although others did report that on the German language default, they actually had them working. Now I think of this, I tried setting the tab's language to "Deutsch (Deutschland)" and indeed, I have accented letters! They do not correspond to the keys, however, so you're going to have a hard time typing this way. For example, the " ' " key gives an "ä".

Sorry I've to disagree on the spell checking being reliant on system language only. I've configured my system language as English and set the Spell Checker setting to ᷰ'Use system language' . Then when I go to the mail program and choose 'Asus English (US) keyboard' spell checking is in English. But when I change to 'Asus Dutch (Holland) Keyboard', spell checking is in Dutch.

Well, no matter what my selected keyboard is, if I select German as the system language I get the accented letters. *That* *was* your question, right? I can't remember you talking about the spell check, so it is not that relevant. You wanted accented letters, now you get them but you cannot type. In other words: soft keyboard for you, if need be.
EDIT: deep in the settings there turns out to be an option to bind the spell checker to a specific language, or system default. AFAIK, it shouldn't change when you simply select another keyboard when on the system default language option, but then it would not exactly be the first time that ASUS-injected stuff does funky things.

My original question was on the quote key not working when selecting Asus Dutch AND on international characters. The spell checking was introduced when ShadowLea was wondering why I wanted to use the Asus Dutch keyboard. I know I can set the language to German for accented characters but like you said totally unusable when using the dock keyboard. But I can live with the accented characters not working. But the quote key not working is a big pain in the ass. Like I said before I wait for Asus to fix this.

Hey, no offence meant. OT: the funny thing is that on CleanROM the quote/double qoute key is working fine for me (English/US system language). Have you tweaked anything else on your device?
EDIT: I do sometimes run into the accented letter issue, and then I am very annoyed. Trying to type something like "fiancée" or "René" causes me headaches every time. I have given it some thought just printing the ASCII code list.

No offence taken. I have a stock Tf700, no tweaking yet. And on a stock rom the quote key is also working on Asus English keyboard/US system language. It's when I switch to Asus Dutch Keyboard it stops working and just inserts a space when pressed. I read on another forum what people using the Asus Potugese keyboard run into the same problems. So I guess there are more input languages that suffer the same problem.
Printing the Ascii list ... back to the days of word perfect
The workaround I found is pressing the little keyboard icon next to the docking icon in the notification bar. And then turn Physical Keyboard off. Doing this one can use the docking keyboard and the screen keyboard at the same time. So whenever I have to press a double/single quote or a accented character I use the screen keyboard. And it also enables me to switch back and forth input languages using the globe key on the screen keyboard (lower left side of the screen).

Albeit at the cost of screen real estate, this does seem like a viable workaround for now. Thanks for sharing.
Ah, the Ascii list... I still have one hanging on the wall behind my monitor, just for nostalgia's sake. (and lazyness, can't be bothered to go to 'edit, insert, symbol, scroll list...' just to get º. )

It does come in handy sometimes. That being said, even the ASCII list doesn't work on the dock keyboard, so I'm SOL for now.
I updated the title of the thread so it better covers the content.
Well, for the accented characters you can use AltGR (right alt, but on the dock the only alt) + any of the letters:
ä = q
å = w
á = a
é - e
ü = y
ú = u
í = i
ó = o
ö = p
Sadly, this misses the ë. (Which really is the most accented letter in Dutch. -.- And probably the most hated in schools.)
Well, I just stumbled onto the ALT+SPACA shortcut. That might even be a saving grace for ZoldarVL. WT.... I guess I'm still not through with learning how to operate this thing.
@ShadowLea: the shortcuts you gave above are for the German lay-out, I presume? (They do not work on the English lay-out, obviously, since they never use these accented letters. How sad.)

Asus Dutch (Holland) Keyboard layout. The éáóúí work on the UK setting, none work on the US setting. (There's a boatload more signs under the dutch altgr combo, these are just the accented keys. Altgr+shift give even more)
And yes, the Alt+Space gives a symbol menu. Did I not mention that? Bugger, I thought I did...

Also the ï is missing. Probably the second most accented letter in Dutch.

Hello,
I am planning to buy an Asus Transformer Infinity, and as an Armenian language user, I simply do not imagine my life without Multiling Keyboard . But I'm not sure whether this keyboard will work with the dock or not. Will I have the same typing experience with the physical keyboard of the Asus Transformer as I have on-screen (layout etc.)? Has anyone tested it (not exactly the Armenian layout, but just the app with the dock)?
Most importantly, I want to make sure that I will be able to switch between English and a second (Armenian) with the keys combination, as in the case of the default Asus keyboard. Even if this is not a supported feature by default, maybe there are some solutions/fixes for this? I'm ready to root my device or tweak some system files and settings, if it will help.
The question is, there is no other app that supports Armenian input language even half as well as Miltiling Keyboard, that's why I would like to ask the Multiling users here to share your experience with me.
Thank you in advance.
I have been using multiling with the dock without major issue, but with English UK. The only problem I find is that the " ? ! etc characters will not be in the same place. However, you may be able to learn the new positions easily? I'm sorry that I'm not familiar with Armenian to know if there are other critical special characters you will need.
I keep meaning to investigate if it's possible to remap the characters on multiling. I believe it is a better soft keyboard than the Asus one, or the default android 4.1 keyboard which is also installed by default. I'm looking forward to trying the android 4.2 default keyboard.
Hope that helps.

Thanks for the reply, Gudders . Have you tried to switch languages while you use Multiling with the dock, or you use only Engilsh UK? If it is not too difficult, can you please check the Armenian language in the Multiling settings in order to have two selected languages, and try to switch them with the dock (keys combinations, spacebar...), or at last just try to type something Armenian with the dock?
Thanks!
I have been trying to figure out the same but for Spanish. So far I haven't been able to get special characters to work from the dock keyboard. I haven't been able to get things like alt-134 to work for writing a ñ. I waited for 3 months for Asus to release a latin keyboard and they keep saying it is coming soon but it still is not available. I finally just bought an English version but so far haven't been able to figure this stuff out.

I am happy to try for you. I can download and install Armenian. You can switch using shift and spacebar in search, chrome, kingsoft office, gmail and some others. I tried to get a screenshot, but I can't seem to upload it to XDA (browser issue I think). The only problem I had was with the stock browser. I couldn't get it to switch, or type Armenian characters. It may just need a restart. It does type the charactes and switch using the search bar in the stock browser, but on google page or XDA reply box it wouldn't.
Hope that helps.

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.

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.
