Android Keyboard in JB - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Morning guys,
I now see that Vietnamese has been added to "input language" in the Android Keyboard (in Jelly Bean). But I don't know how to use it to type Vietnamese. , my language, and I don't know how to switch between English to Vietnamese either.
Currently I'm using Multiling Keyboard (or GoTiengViet), but if there is a default builtin keyboard, it is much better.
Drop me some instructions, please.

[REQ] Japanese (Romaji input) for Android keyboard (4.0.3/4.0.4 ICS)

I was wondering if there was a way to add Japanese as an language input for the Android keyboard? By default, there is no option to add Japanese as a llanguage input, and all other keyboards that have it are either ugly, don't have ICS as an optional theme or just too much, I prefer the stock Android keyboard on ICS over anything else and I'm sure there are some of you that agree. It would be nice to have this and other possible languages as optional languages on this keyboard.

Google Japanese Input Beta is what I use when I need to type in Japanese, but I too would prefer it if it could be part of the language selection within natural ICS settings.
Before updating my Sensation from Gingerbread to ICS, I could Long-press in they text field for the popup menu to appear, from which i could change between English and Japanese with no hassle.
After the ICS update, I keep on needing to go into settings>Language and Keyboard>Keyboard and input methods>Select Japanese. Bloody annoying, having to do this, especially if the sms's I receive keep on alternating between Japanese and English....
Anything I am missing out on here?

I am using Google IME Beta on stock ICS 4.0.4. I can switch between English and Japanese by long-pressing the spacebar (on the English keyboard) or the bottom left key (on the Japanese keyboard) and changing to the other language in the popup dialog.

Does anybody know?
Hi,
If I understand what you mean, you want QWERTY keyboard over Croatian dictionnary right ?
That way the answer is yes, in the settings you set language as Croatian and click on the small keyboard on the right, then you put on US QWERTY keyboard, that's it

Yep, that is right.
But when i select Croatian keyboard, and tap small keyboard icon to select layout, there is no US QWERTY... Only QWERTY and QWERTZ keyboards with čšćđž that i dont want..
OK I see, I thought you only wanted key-positions... So I don't think actually it can be done BUT you may ask the developpers as it may be pretty easy to add on next update
You need strip Unicode option that is included in some mms.apk

[Q] Jelly Bean foreign keyboard

Hello,
So when I use my Galaxy S3 with ICS 4.0.4, I get a keyboard that looks like this:
(attached JPG 1)
But when I update to Jelly Bean and set my keyboard to Lithuanian language, I get all my Lithuanian characters at the top of the keyboard, like this:
(attached JPG 2)
I would like to have it the old way, so I could just hold a different key and have my Lithuanian one pop up. Jelly Bean doesn't seem to offer this option. I don't like any of the ICS keyboards offered on the play store and I've found some stock ones on these forums, but they don't support my language. So, is there anything I could just import from my ICS file system to my Jelly bean and have it work the old way? Thank you in advance.
in JB you can switch languages by swiping the space virtual key left or right (as you can see in your jpg2 image you have lithuanian language written on the space key) if you have multiple languages selected.
Thank you, but the thing is, I do want to use Lithuanian language on my keyboard, but not with all the Lithuanian characters at the top like you see in the screenshot. The way it works on ICS is I just hold a certain English character (i. e. A) and an option to use a Lithuanian one pops up (i. e. Ą). So is there any way to have/import this to JB? All I need is the character layout from ICS. Thank you

[Q] Swiftkey not saving settings after update -> CM 10.2 (JB 4.3) ?!

Hey folks,
after updating to temasek's unofficial CM 10.2 everything except focal and SwiftKey works, which is quiet amazing for such an early nightly.
I just can't get why SwiftKey wont save my setting, actually it's only the keyboard layout which it won't remember.
I'm german and i type english a lot, obviously, but of course i'm used to the german keyboard layout QWERTZ.
Whenever i choose English (US) beside my first language German it changes the layout for both to QWERTY.
When i change it back to QWERTZ it's fine for a short time. After a few hours or a reboot its back to QWERTY. It's killing me.
I would change to another keyboard, but i don't know of a keyboard which can operate bilingual without the need to change between these languages and with the layout i want and provides me with good swype functionality and spell correction as well, do you?!
Hope someone can help me!
Thanks in advance,
cheers

[Q] Samsung Keyboard no longer has Chinese input language after hard reset

Hi all, wondering if anyone has the same incredibly frustrating problem.
I'm using a Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7105
I used to use the Samsung Keyboard with English and the Chinese language input (downloaded in it's language settings).
But after a hard rest (My phone had recently updated itself to 4.3 with no change) I no longer have Chinese as a downloadable language.
WHY is this so annoying... Becuase if I use another keyboard that has chinese I can't swap between it and the Samsung Keyboard in Keyboard. The Samsung has to be selects in the phone setting and can't be selected as one of many keyboards.
The reason why I wish to use the Samsung keyboard is becuase of its great swipe input function. I have not found another keyboard that has swipe in English and Chinese input funtionality.
Which means I can never using any combo of keyboards swap easily from chinese to swipe english keyboard. Aarrgghh!!!!!
I think It has something to do with the locale version of the 4.3 android os. I heard that different locales have different downloadable language options. But why has mine sudenly changed!
Anyone?

Samsung must have changed the CSC of your device when upgrading to Android 4.3
I don't own your device. So I am just sharing what I know.
Go to messaging app, and select create new message and the keyboard will be activated.
In that look for any settings icon.
If there is one, then click on it and change your input language.
^If it doesn't work, go to menu>settings>language and input and change the options.
Press thanks if I have helped.
Maybe someone has better ideas.
