[Q] How to enable keyboard secondary hold to press keys? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

A quick question about JB 4.2 keyboards. I've installed several ROMs and some have little grey letters/numbers at the top of each key for hold to type as in the screen shot attached. But other ROMs don't have these extra hold to use keys.
I can't find a keyboard setting anywhere for it, so is it a different keyboards apk or some setting I've missed that activates it?
Many thanks.

Easiest thing to do is download SmoothROM and go to system/app/LatinIME.apk and extract that and open on your N7. Should be fine then. Or reflash your ROM to put it back.

I'm curious to actually know the answer to this. I have the 4.2 kb on my gs3 that I flashed in and it shows the long press symbols. On this device running stock 4.2.1 straight from Google, it does not have them. I really would like to know the reason why...

Pretty sure its a CM mod keyboard and not a stock AOSP one. So if you extract the kb apk from a CM ROM and flash it on your current ROM you should be good to go...

I use the ddms command with the android sdk.
Type in:
Code:
adb ddms
That will open a program where you can take screenshots of your phone.

I have seen this before on my phone, but don't have it now.
I'm thinking that after loading the 1st Leaked Froyo (2.3.9?) I had that.
Sometime after upgrading to either one of the newer leaks and/or flashing a custom ROM (I've been on Rubix and Now Apex), I'm back to normal.
Don't know which change got me back to normal though.
Quite frankly it didn't bother me as I had no intention of using the OTA updates anyway (We all know that the leaks will be out either first, or very soon after)
Just curious is this was a new moto thing on trying to keep us new updates but then again it b out online anyways. Thx guys

I have the same issue with my Droid and T-Bolt, both on 3G and on WiFi.
Yea, I was wondering this too. Did you get these from somewhere else or are they made by you? Link would be great if you got it somewhere else. I'm just asking because this is how I learn how you guys do what you do best (cooking ROMs).

use root explorer and swap fronts folder with the one from orignal debloat rom
Yes that font is horrible. Here are steps I found to change the font, but I just went back to the original rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581308
It did appear to be fast, but if you just left the original font it would have been almost perfect.
If you want to change the font, download font installer from the market.

That's the older jellybean version. I'm sure there are custom roms with those still there.

Nothing in that image is a stock ROM... Look for a custom ROM that has that.

Install a custom rom that has multiple nav ring targets coded into it. That is all.

It was on the nexus 4 port to the inspire but never saw it on my nexus 7. I updated mine right away though so I assumed it was on older version but I guess I'm wrong.

do they have a version of "halo"? disable it if they do, then try again. it might be something with miui, are other miui users having the same issue?

I figured it was the one version if Miui that was causing it. Something to do with the gapps that was posted with it caused a few apps to not show up

Try searching for RUJelus22 inverted apps. Those are what I use. Or, Google search "inverted apps," look for a site that says "Eclipse." He makes good inverted apps, with keyboard too, I think.

That's because the same app has been installed. You have to manually copy the latinime.apk or keyboard.apk to system/app manually. (or just.. flash the zip?)
have no zip its apk but does not work also...

That's because you already have a keyboard app there. Rename currently installed apk (or just move it somewhere else), and move the inverted keyboard into system/app (Or try to install normally). Should work now.
i give it up i though it would be much easyer to install a black keybard...
