Google Keyboard Arrow Menu Ribbon - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys, I am not sure whether this is the best place to post my question, but I did not find a better one.
So its not a big deal, but its quite irritating. Its regarding the Google Keyboard and its recent update that brought an arrow menu that I want to get rid off.
Please refer to the attached picture to see what I am talking about. So the question is does somebody know how to turn this arrow menu and the whole ribbon above the letters off?
Thank you

[Q] how to turn off copy/paste?

Hi All,
Is there a way to diabled the new copy and paste feature?
I ask because I can not longer edit text, if i make a typo and touch to move the cursor back, it just highlights the entire word. Touch it again ans it de-selects.
This annoyence is compounded by the lack of left and right cursor keys to move though text.
Is it just me or does anyone find this annoying?
Thanks
Dave
Hi
I just accidently found the answer to my question.
If you are editing text, say for a text message, touch the text and keep you finger/thumb on the screen. I little green text curser appears above where you are touching.
You can then drag this to the correct place in the text that you wish to edit.
Thanks Everyone.
Dave
Yep i already knew that
Sometimes is good to actually read the little intro or some tips and tricks in the Microsoft Windows Phone 7 page. After all, they exist for some reason
But WP7 is very easy to manage. Here is a tip: if you need something, just press and hold to see more options appear... This can be done almost everywhere

[Q] How to change dock shortcut back to a plus

Hi guys,
I am wondering if anyone knows how to change a dock shortcut back to a plus sign.
I clicked on the plus sign to create a shortcut to an app but wanted to revert back to nothing being there (just the 'plus' sign to add a shortcut). But the only thing I found was 'X Blank' which leaves a blank space now. It just looks weird with a space next to all of the plus signs.
Sorry if this is a noob question, but haven't been able to fine the answer. If anyone could help me that would be great. I'm using Froyobread v020.
Yeah annoying isnt it, LOL?
I ended up resetting to default settings :]

[Q] PAC Rom

I've installed the PACman rom to try out, I've plenty of experience with other roms so installation no problem.
My problem comes from one of the features (no idea where it comes from) where I've got a float round semi-transparent blob on the left hand side of the screen which seems related to notifications somehow. It wasn't there initially, I think I pressed something in the notification bar to bring it up.
I find it annoying and gets in the way, but I can't find in the options how to get rid of the wretched thing.
Since I don't know what it's called, searching is pretty much useless. The thread in the development area posts to a place for "new to", however that's a dead link and I can't post anything there to ask or get that corrected since I don't have enough posts.
Can anyone help?
My guess is that it is Halo. Have not tried PAC so can't help u to get rid of it but guess there is a way to turn it off. Good luck
PS. try longpressing it and see if you can delete it.

The above poster is correct, it's called Halo. To delete, double tap but don't let go of the second tap. You can then drag it up, to a red circle at the top of the screen and delete it. There will always be an option to turn it back on, from the notification shade though. That's unless PACman has an option to completely disable it, I know Rootbox does. Watch this video to see what it does/ is intended for, it's more than just a notification manager http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5WljHcOyXs

Thanks for the info, I managed to get it turned off again. I'll come back and take a look at it properly later, see if I can get used to it, or find a way of making it more to my liking.

Removal of page ending scroll curve

Hello,
Sorry if this is in the wrong section. I'm just curious if it would be possible to remove that little notification "bubble" curve which indicates if you have reached the top or bottom of a page. I don't even know what that little thing is called, and I'd rather remove it as it's rather useless and I don't like the feature at all.
I'm running rooted Lollipop with Nova Launcher on Mlais M52, cheap china phone. Asked my friends with Marshmallow and seems like they are not having that "bubble" on every single menu, just WhatsApp or FB messenger. I'm getting it even in app drawer which makes it rather annoying as I prefer to scroll from top to bottom instead of left and right.
Found something from StackOverflow, but seems like the feature is not called "FadingEdge". I'll add a screenshot with that "bubble curve" if my explanation was way too confusing

Couldn't figure how to upload a direct screencap to the reply. Here you go:

bump, do anyone know even what's the feature called?

LYB - OS Android / halo keyboard

Hi all,
I have an issue with the "right click" on the halo keyboard. Before I have chatted with fb support from Lenovo.
Their solutions were: 1) try with the rectangles on the side from the touch pad on halo keyboard (picture). My answer: I don't have rectangles, just 5 dots (picture)
2) You see the five dots below the space bar? the dots in the middle is for you to scroll up and down, left and right. You will start movie from the middle then move towards where you want to scroll. The two dots on the left and right are for the click. Try it. My answer: I'am trying to correct a word wich was misspelled using the option "right click" on it. But following these steps, seems like doesn't work
Now you know what I have tried. Is there an option a I didn't see or try it before? any hotkey? or crtl+? lol
Thank you!
Last update from Lenovo:
Sorry about that. Windows does have the left and the right click, however the android version does have the scroll only. You could try holding the option from the screen then see if you will get options popped up.
My answer: **** I would like to ask to someone from the IT (I don't know if this is the way to do it).
It is very important when you write or efit not to switch from one to another.
Is like having a mouse and the touch pad, to do certains things you have to switch from one to another.
It is ok, there is solution for the issue. But it is not correct, there is a correct way on windows, but need to be also on this kind of device too.
Please if its not here to elevate this complaint/ask, tell me where to.
Thank you
Sorry for your lost time reading this, but might help someone else with this issue
