G2 using MoDaCo ROM v2.9 with teknologist 1.9 kernel.
I've been using the TouchPal keyboard for ages and today I thought I'd download and try some others. I've always found the Touchpal keyboard to be excellent though.
Anyway, I downloaded and installed a couple of alternatives. I selected one in settings and attempted to try it but the phone automatically used the default Touch Input keyboard.
I tried the Handcent keyboard, nothing doing - it still used the default Touch Input keyboard.
I tried to go back to Touchpal and still nothing doing; I'm stuck on the default keyboard. I've tried rebooting the phone to no effect.
Does anyone have any suggestions to resolve this?
OK, it seems to be working again now.
Hey folks, I'm almost certain this has been covered. Trouble is, it's not the sort of thing that lends itself to searching well. I've tried, but ah well.
I have Swiftkey 3 and Gingerbread Keyboard installed on my A2 in addition to the default and Swype. I had no trouble using non-default keyboards for awhile, but now every time I switch to something other than "Multi-touch keyboard" it lasts only for that instance, then switches back to "Multi-touch keyboard" when I use the keyboard next.
Why is this happening to me?? :crying:
Have you tried clearing the keyboard(s) cache: settings>applications>manage applications(find ALL keyboards and select "clear data") then reboot...

I've been stuck two days now trying to change the default launcher on my MIUI ROM. It sounds like a simple task, but for some reason, it isn't. The problem is when I switch to another launcher, pressing home always returns to the MIUI default launcher, no matter what I do.
Some of what I have already tried:
1) I've allowed MIUI to give full root permissions to the launchers. But I cannot clear defaults or manage permissions for MIUI's launcher in settings, as it is greyed out.
2) Tried setting the launchers to set themselves as default (and keep in memory), within their own settings wherever possible.
3) I've tried several apps promising to change defaults to allow for alternative home launchers. None worked.
4) Tried changing BUTTONS (in Android settings) to have the HOME button do nothing or open recent apps. No matter what, it always quits the 3rd party launcher and returns to home of MIUI launcher.
5) I tried freezing MIUI's launcher and running Apex. This finally worked to keep Apex as default! Except after I rebooted, it got stuck on boot and I LOST EVERYTHING.
5) I upgraded MIUI unofficial ROM to 4.2.2, then 4.9.19. No difference.
6) If there is an option to "set default launcher" in a given app, and I try to set it to that launcher, it will only allow the MIUI system launcher as an option, and automatically return me to the MIUI launcher!
As far as I can tell, the problem does not appear to be related to: the phone, the ROM, or the launcher app. Why, because I had ADW working fine for years over a slightly previous version of this MIUI ROM (v4.1.2). I can't remember when things changed, but probably some time after trying Apex. But now, setting the launcher to ADW again changes nothing, the system still returns to MIUI home.

Have you already attempted setting ADW as the default launcher, immediately going into the directory where the MIUI launcher .apk is, deleting it, and then rebooting? Make a full system backup first, of course.
If you do that, I believe your system will have no choice but to use ADW upon booting.
I do not want to use ADW any longer, but yes, I just did that (after installing a third earlier version of the Blackwing MIUI ROM, v3.9.27). I did not remove the MIUI apk, but froze it (same effect). The phone did not boot into ADW. It just froze on the MIUI logo screen. I also can't set ADW as the default launcher, via settings.
I've literally spent an entire day on this problem, and still can't quite pin it down, because all this *used* to work. I had this same ADW app with one of the aforementioned versions of MIUI, running for ages with over 200 apps on the phone. My best guess is it must be a conflict with one of the installed apps, but then..... why is it acting up *now*?!.
On top of everything, I did a back up of my system&apps with ROM Toolbox AND the MIUI Backup app before messing with the MIUI launcher and having to redo the ROM. Now when I try to restore, *both* of those apps no longer have their backups! (insert angry emoticon)
It's looking like I can no longer use MIUI on my Galaxy S3.... the only ROM I ever liked! :crying:
Hi,
After the last update I have strange behavior with the keyboard. When I try to write on Viber or Google search, the keyboard doesn't work and I am forced to restart the phone in order to work again.
What can I do about this?
which phone version, rom, keyboard?
6045y, 31049, AOSP keyboard
Anyone?
Hi,
I have a android tablet running on Nougat 7.0 not rooted.
The default keyboard is AOSP , when I install any custom keyboard like Gboard, it works fine, I'm able to set it as the new default one and use it normally.
The problem comes after a reboot where I don't know why, Android disables the 2 keyboards, not only the ASOP but also the new custom one.
That means after each restart, I have no keyboard when I select an input field, nothing shows up. I have to manually go to settings and re-enable one of them, again and again...
I spent many hours on forums but found no similar issue, what mostly happens if that Android reverts back to the stock keyboard, but for me is no keyboard...
Any idea?
