I can't seem to get my g tab to activate any third party keyboards from the market. When I go into settings -> languages and keyboards, then try to click the check box next to the keyboard name, a warning comes up saying it might be a keylogger. I click on activate, and nothing happens, and the keyboard is not listed in the input methods menu. When I go imto options for Better Keyboard and select activate, settings force closes.
I am running tent lite 4.4 and trying to use better keyboard, thumb keyboard, and swiftkey. Any ideas? Thanks!

With TNT and some of the other roms you will have to install the APK for the keyboard to the system folder.
You can find more information at this post:

Thanks! Where on my tablet is that .apk file stored so I can copy and paste it over?

Are you switching on the swiftkey (or alternative) keyboard under settings --> Language & keyboard? Then, when you get ready to type in any field (you'll still see the default keyboard), do a long press with your finger until you see a pop up that says Input method. Select input method and then you get another pop up that allows you to select the keyboard of your choice. Select your alternative keyboard and it will then appear for you.
I was using TNT lite 2.2 - I just plugged in the usb transceiver and it worked. I had it from a splurge earlier and used it with presentations - if the dongle were smaller it would be very useful.
How do I enable the GB Keyboard ? I downloaded one from the market it installs but I cant seem to figure out how to enable. I'm running virtous and have tried on stock and also on perfect storm and nothing. Am I doing something wrong ?
Menu>settings>Language & Keyboard and enable.
Then go to a place where you'd put text in (messaging app for example) and long press and select input method and select gingiekb
I tried that. I was thinking there was something more to it. Once I get to the menu I see GB Keyboard settings and Htc _ime mod settings and touch input settings I can change the settings but nothing actually happens

did you enable it?
That's what I'm asking where in there do i do that ? Sorry for being such a noob but I don't see it.
There should be a check mark to enable the keyboard in the settings.

Thanks that did it.
exactly as the title says, i cant figure out how to switch to a different keyboard,
there's no option under the language and keyboard settings to actually select one of the other keyboard i have installed, any ideas??
I'm on cm7 also and only have one keyboard selection but I install swype beta and never looked back...do you want swype or the old sammy keyboard? Swype was pretty easy to install but I'm not sure about the old keyboard from froyo rom...idk if there is a work around to get it on cm7? You may be out off luck for that keyboard?

Are you looking to actually just select a new keyboard or install a totally new one
If selecting make sure it checked in language and keyboard settings and long press in any text box, choose input method and select the desired keyboard. thats how I did it

yeah that was it, i was used to having the option to select a keyboard in the settings and didn't know about the long press any text box, thanks
This maybe a stupid question, but what button do I need to press to switch from the stock Samsung keyboard to a different one that i have installed?
I would like to do it on the fly and switching between different keyboards while typing....
The other keyboard I have installed has a dedicated button to allow me to switch back to samsung, not the other way around
Any idea?
Hey mg_k I don't believe you can do that using the stock Samsung keyboard. I had a little fiddle and the only way I found you could switch is to go to Settings > Keyboard and input > select the keyboard you want.

That's ridiculous on Samsung's part
oh well ICS keyboard here i come
Thanks for the info.
first you must install 3rd party keyboard application in your phone..
to change the keyboard is when you type a message, there will be a keyboard icon in notification bar, just tap it to change the default keyboard.

Yeah that works, only if you have the third-party keyboard enabled

That's the answer I am looking for! Not as elegant as a button within the keyboard...but at least that works.
Thanks heaps
AW 2.0 is supposed to have a screen writing text entry method. I can't find a way to invoke it on ZenWatch 2 large. Long hold on keyboard icon in Messages should do it but that only takes me to a keyboard choice, 'Google Keyboard'. Anyone else?
I have the 1.65 model and I have the same problem. Google assistant isnt working for me either. Says google cannot be reached. Going to factory reset and do a fresh pair up.
My wife has the 1.45 model and just updated hers to 2.0. Everything seems to be working fine on her watch.
Yes, you can use handwriting, much better than the standard keyboard
You have to download it in the playstore on your watch.

Installed but no success
Thanks for that. Installed to watch, app installed normally, Handwriting does not appear an an input option. Reset watch once, no change. Powered off then back on, no change. Handwriting does not appear as an option for text entry. Checked Handwriting app settings and all seems normal there.

You have to enable it. Settings->Personalization->Input Methods then tap Google Handwriting Keyboard to activate. When you go to type, long press the keyboard icon and it should come up with the option to select between the keyboard and handwriting.
