How to make GO keyboard default in Lollipop - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

How do i make swype my default keyboard?

after i reset the phone it always reverts back to the default keyboard and i have to manually change it every reboot. thanks
The way I'd recommend is to use SKTools. With SKTools, you can change your Default Input Panel to whatever you wish (as long as the SIP is installed).
happens to me too - HTC TP2.

Microphone on stock keyboard

I've had the Z1, Z2, Z3 and now Z5. I've always been able to add the microphone key during the personalization setup process for the stock Sony keyboard. It seems to be missing from the setup on the Z5. Any idea why? Any idea how to get it back? Searching led me to old threads which said to enable Google Voice under Language and Keyboard. The menus may have changed since then but Voice Recognition is enabled there. Thanks for any help, this feature is sorely missed.
So I said F-it and downloaded Swiftkey. During installation where you select a new default keyboard I saw Google Voice Typing and it was unchecked. I checked it, went back to Sony stock keyboard personalization and there was now a toggle to turn on the microphone key. What I don't understand is that under Language and Keyboard there is a menu under Google Voice but no toggle. I feel like in missing something but maybe this conversation with myself will help someone.
You figured it out yourself, but you have to turn on both a keyboard (either xperia or google or other) and google voice typing under Language and keyboard. After that you can add the button to the keyboard you use...

Cant seem to get a custom launcher to stick since I updated to Marshmellow

Anyone else have this problem or know of a fix? I can hit the Nova app icon and it will set it the launcher. However, as soon as I hit the home button it reverts back to default. Additionally when in Nova Settings, I tap the header that says tap to set Nova as default launcher, for a half second it acts like it is bringing up another screen momentarily but then stays on the main settings screen. It does the same thing when I scroll down to the Select Default Home where currently Huawei Home is set. I have tried other launchers additional to Nova including: Google Now, TSF, and Smart Launcher. I am currently running the latest update of Nova Launcher Prime 4.3.1, on a GEM-703L, running Android 6.0.
Thanks for any help.
Try this:
1. go to settings > apps>advanced>default app settings
That fixed it! Thank you so much!

After Nougat update, can anyone else change default keyboard?

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.
