Hi folks,
I am unable to switch keyboards. I am running the stock (rooted) Lollipop ROM. I have installed both Google keyboard and Swiftkey, the option to change keyboard only gives me the stock HTC keyboard in the settings. How do I force the switching of keyboards?
Bump.

After downloading Swiftkey, did you open the app? It should give you the option to and send you to the settings needed automatically to make it your default keyboard.
Swiftkey will walk you through the steps to enable it under settings then changing the default keyboard.

Yep, I did that and the option to change keyboard just lists the one (HTC) keyboard. It's almost like the fact the app is installed isn't registered by the system. See attached.

Most of time, amazon's keyboard won't close itself using 'back' button, I have to switch to home and back app again, just for close it.
I would like to try other keyboard from Google Play Store.
However, we don't have any way to switch it in options or settings.
I have installed Settings.apk, first menu show up, but it will close immediately once I click to enter 'keyboard and language'.
Anyone have successfully try it? or maybe we need sqlite to change some kind of settings.db file? thanks.
I have switched to Google keyboard using the settings.apk from the Bluetooth thread. You can even disable the on screen keyboard if you have a physical one.

Did you really successfully change it to Google keyboard, how did you do it? I'm also using settings.apk from the Bluetooth speak thread. But it will close and won't let me to change it. I would like to use Google keyboard as well. By the way, I'm using newest firmware with root and enable unknown source already.
Yes swapped it a while back.. I'm on older firmware.. I did however freeze the kftv launcher, I know it blocks certain android things like home key launcher not sure if it is blocking that as well.
I just opened settings, language and input.. There it showed buellerIME
It was greyed out and Google keyboard not checked.. Just checked it .. Clicked on it's settings and disabled popup keyboard.

Thanks, looks new firmware block this out. I could switch firmware back, however I do like new firmware, it works smoother than older one and has less issues so far.

I double checked for ya.. Its the kftv launcher that's stopping the change. If ya freeze it and make the change then unfreeze it it will stick. I recomend installing a launcher of some sort in just in case as a fallback while doing it...

Settings, Language and keyboard, press current keyboard, then press choose keyboards and turn TouchPal off
If it's anything like the G4, you cannot disable the default keyboard.
I hope it isn't like the G4 in that aspect.

What's the other keyboard? I can turn TouchPal off on mine. Is the other keyboard enabled? If only one keyboard is enabled, you can't disable it.

Like jollywhitefoot, I can turn TouchPal off, as described. My other keyboard is Swiftkey, and interestingly, I had not been receiving any annoying prompts before I turned off TouchPal, which I only did just now.

That notification always comes up... because you always have Google Voice text as well... the only way I know how to eliminate the nag requires root

Touchpal is the default 10 keyboard?! ?

The other keyboard is "Multiling O Keyboard +Emojii". This is what i see in the screen where i activated this one, is there another way to open this menu than going through the Multiling O Keyboard app?
You need to download a keyboard to turn off touchpal. Change the default keyboard then go back then you can disable it iirc.

"TouchPal with HTC Sense".
I was sad to see the Sense keyboard go. IMO it has always been king of Android keyboards. Wished I could have put it on my tablets throughout the years.
That's what I've been wondering. Is there any way we could get the Sense keyboard back on the 10?
One of the things I love most about my M7..

As you can see im using Multiling O Keyboard, which is a keyborad available in the Playstore. What do you mean by "Change the default keyboard", im allready using my custom keyboard for writing.
You turn on the keyboard back and then make it default. Then go back into where you turn on and off the keyboard then you can turn off touchpal.
Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk
I dont get what you want to show me. My current situation in detail:
1. Factory fresh HTC 10
2. I download Multiling O Keyboard
3. I enable it in the screen with the sliders.
4. I set my used keyboard to MOK, so i will start typing on with it whenever i select a text field.
5. When i select a text field i get a notification in the notification bar that lets me choose the keyboard i want to use, Touchpal and MOK being the options.
6. I try to disable Touchpal in the slider menu (which i reach by a button in the notification), but its slider is greyed out. I can disable MOK without problems, though.
Try doing it through the settings and not the slider. I don't know why it doesn't work for you, but that worked from me. Based on what you typed that the only difference. I didn't use the notification shade route.

What do you mean "through the settings and not the slider"? Touchpal isnt in the apps menu, so i cant disable it there.
I didn't access the settings through the notification shade like you did.
I did everything from the settings itself.
I tapped
Settings
Language and keyboard
Current keyboard
Choose keyboard
Turned on keyboard
Back once
Changed current keyboard
Choose keyboard
Turned off keyboards
That worked for me and I don't get anything in the notification shade because I only have 1 active keyboard.

The very first reply to your original post explains what you need to do. Go into Settings, Language & Keyboard, Current Keyboard, Choose Keyboards and then turn off Touchpal. Don't access this menu via the slider notification as you have previously stated. If Touchpal is still greyed out, try to download another keyboard temporarily and see if you then get the option.
Is there possibility to edit Touchpal files to remove top row of the keyboard? I know it is possible in iOS version by editing a config file in app directory. Has anyone tried it on android version with rooted phone?

To remove the top number row?
You can do this in main TouchPal settings.
Settings > language & input > virtual keyboard > touchpal > general settings
Not number row, this useless row above for word prediction with touchpal icon. It uses space.

Thank you. Interesting. I took a quick look at the .akp decompiled, and couldn't find much as far as turning it off, but I'm not the best person for this. Terrible overlook on Touchpals part for those whom aren't using the word prediction. Wish I could have been of help.Best of luck.
Use gboard.. much better

I did not ask you for advice regarding using other keyboard afaik.
And no, gboard is not better.
Is it possible to add a row of arrow keys at the bottom of the keyboard for navigation purposes?

No, but there's an edit panel button, inside you can find arrow keys, copy and paste some functions like that.
when turning on the number row the number pad is still there .-. why?
It's a garbage app... Search for the original htc ime v8.00xxx I forget the whole number... Lot simpler and works fine

The table flip Kamoji isn't in it tho :/
My other half installed SwiftKey as she prefers it, which is fine, but how do I change it back?! I don't want to uninstall SwiftKey but I can't work out how to switch the keyboard.
During SwiftKey installation there was a popup which asked you to change your keyboard but I can't find out how to being that menu back up.
Running 8.1
Driving me crazy, shouldn't be that hard should it?!

Go to virtual keyboard and change, or add, what you want
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I can add different language etc but I can't work out how to change what the default is!
It makes no sense to me, I just want to select what keyboard to use.
Whatever I select it still says SwiftKey in the settings.
@teapea: Beneath your used keyboard tap + manage keyboards
Ok, but how do I select the default? In manage keyboards, 3 are turned on, gboard, voice, and SwiftKey. The default is SwiftKey.
I just want to set the default gboard, no SwiftKey.
So keep the 3 turned on so I can change between them, but select the one which is currently used.
I have updated to Android 10. Today I tried using work profile to install Amazon Prime separate from main profile. But it seems I am unable to launch keyboard even for Google sign-in.
How to solve this?
Use on screen keyboard apps. Or floating keyboard.
Does A10 support different profiles?

The keyboards do not pop-up. I can see a cursor in the text field but no way to bring up the actual keyboard.

Try a wired keyboard maybe?
I cannot do that each time. Anyway I will see if I can use it to login to Google services and if that fixes issues.
Turned out there was no keyboard app at all in work profile!
Connected a physical USB keyboard, went to Play Store and installed one.
Now everything works as expected.
