So, before I rooted and went to Eugene's new rom, I had the grey keyboard. Now I have the ugly black android one. Anyone know why or how to change it back? Thanks!
Okay so people are A) not gonna help you whatsoever or B) they are gonna come in her and be mean to you. I am not one of them. I think what you are trying to say is before you were using the HTC keyboard and now it switched to the Swype keyboard. Very easy to change. Long press a text box whether it be messaging app, browser or w/e you can type into basically. Long press in that box, options pop up. Choose Input method and change to which ever one you would like.
Thanks! I guess I dont remember having to have changed that before. I really appreciate it.
My girlfriend has an Aria, and recently tried to install a new keyboard. We went into the keyboard settings and checked the new keyboard, but whenever the new keyboard comes up, it's the stock HTC one. Has anyone else experienced this?
You have to long press in a text box then choose input method you can then choose the new keyboard there

yes, although you enabled the new keyboard, you didn't choose it as your default keyboard.
open something where you can type (text message, note, browser address bar, whatever). press in the text area and hold your finger there until a box pops up. this box should have your keyboard options, select whichever you would like to use.
I am still trying to figure out how to get a keyboard with voice options so i can talk into it

The stock Aria keyboard has a microphone icon on the bottom left. Press it and it will enable voice recognition.
Note: only works whilst connected to the internet.
If you can get your hands on a copy of the newest swype that
has the option for audio input as well. Not sure if the beta is still open or not.

Hey guys, getting some strange issues with my address bar on my phone.
Its only started recently and I can't work out what I've changed or pinpoint when it happened. All I have done is rooted the phone and removed some of the bloat (all of which on the safe list)
When I go into a browser or have to enter text into a text box I press the text box to try to enter text. If the box already has text in it, it used to select all the text so I can type over it/copy it etc. Now it seems to select all the text, then puts my cursor where I pressed, as if I double clicked.
Has anyone else had this issue? Or know what has caused it/how to fix it.
The second issue I'm having with the opera mobile browser. When I start to type an address it auto completes - gives me options of the ending (.co.uk/.com/.net etc) But it automatically completes the address with the top result.
Is this just me or is it a common issue? Is there a way to stop this?
Thanks in advance
Was just having a quick play around ans it seems its something to do with swype keyboard...can't work out how to fix it, any ideas at all?
As far as i noticed this happens if you have to manually add something into your keyboards wordDB.. just tap anywhere and back to the line you were and it should not bug.

Hi,
The text select cursor (the blue pointy thing) gets hidden behind the keyboard when the text I am entering or selecting is just above the keyboard. I've attached a screenshot to illustrate the issue. This wasn't always the case.
Also earlier the drop down with the word suggestions and correction options would stay over the keyboard but now any part of it that flows over the keyboard is hidden behind it. This also wasn't the case earlier. I couldn't replicate the issue for this thread. But I hope was I explained is clear enough.
I'm running the stock ROM on my N4, version 4.3, build - JWR66Y.
Stock keyboard. I dunno what other information I could share.. do let me know.
Thanks a lot for any help.
I've tried searching for a solution for the problem and I've got none. Hope I ran a search the proper way and didn't miss out on another similar thread.
There is a part of the email body missing on top and bottom. It appears that you are zoomed in. Are you using the stock kernel? Have you changed the resolution of the phone? Are you using any of the accessibility settings?

No, I've just typed enough to scroll the screen up a bit. No zooming. No accessibility settings. No custom kernel. Like I said, it's stock.
Ok got you. I just went and tried to replicate this with gmail, as I am using the stock rom and kernel. I basically get the same behavior, except I get no cursor at all. Is that something you enabled somewhere?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4
It's got nothing to do with Gmail specifically. I just chose Gmail to illustrate the issue. The same issue / behaviour is exhibited on all apps which have text boxes - messengers, social apps, notes, etc.
The blue pointer cursor won't appear on it's own. You have to tap the text the way you do when you want to move the cursor to a particular point or when you want to select a piece of text.
The cursor shows up upon tapping the text once. From there you can drag it. My point being that it is nearly impossible to drag since 95% of the curson/pointer is hidden behind the keyboard.
Ok, I follow you now. I don't have that problem within none of my apps that use the keyboard. I am rooted but running stock rom, keyboard, and kernel.

Now see, that's exactly how it used to be for me as well. That's normal behaviour. Hope someone can point out why I'm facing this issue and rectify it.
Thanks for the help.
I am having this exact problem. Is there a way to fix this?
Help
Is there or has there been any updates on this? I ran into the same issue on my 2013 vanilla Moto X. Now I have that issue on my brand new Nexus 6P. I really want to resolve this. Not only is the cursor hidden, but spelling corrections and other items are being hidden. The keyboard I'm using is by SwiftKey, but the results are the same using the Google Keyboard. Help!
Example 1
Example 2
Facing the same issue on my Note 4 rooted with kitkat 4.4.4 on Stock Touchwiz and Xposed. Driving me nuts. Any solution, guys, please help. Tried with multiple Keyboards. Same issue across all apps, not just Gmail. The blue curor just disappears behind the keyboard. In my earlier note 3 the page would scroll down as I keep selecting, here the selection stops upto the keyboard point.
Anyone? Please help......
Update
I have an update on this issue. It's not a solution unfortunately, but it might be a clue for someone.
I was using the Facebook Messenger app earlier, messaging someone in a chat head (the hovering bubble for anyone who doesn't know), and both the cursor and the spelling corrections were on top of the keyboard. Not hidden behind. What does that mean? That's the first time I've noticed those things working properly
Yes in my previous 4.3 Note3 thats exactly how the text selection cursor behaved so I could continue selecting text. In Note4 it goes BEHIND the keyboard and stops selecting further and in fact just disappears. Only the text selected till that point remains highlighted. Need a mod to bring the cursor on TOP of KB instead of behind like Rawk3rSix pointed out. Some expert developer help and input needed....
An update : I tried the stock Email App instead of Gmail app today and to my surprise the issue is not there at all in Email App. Works like a charm. Im able to select text even with the cursor going below the keyboard. Problem solved for now. Something in the Email App which is there or not there in the Gmail App.
In that stock email app, how do the spelling corrections work for you? Are they ok?
I dont really use spelling correction from the stock Email App. I hate autocorrect anyway.
I use Xposed Module TEXT AIDE which serves the purpose anywhere pan-device

Stock mail app so much better than GMail :
a. Text selection error resolved
b. No forced Conversation View
c. When forwarding a message and trying to edit the forwarding text, no ridiculous ">" symbols before each line
I use Inbox and Outlook for email
The issue wasn't solved for your texting or messaging app though, right? I use Facebook Messenger and Google Messenger
Yes texting not resolved but since text msgs are usually much smaller, I can live with it.
Clue : Apparently this issue surfaced after the last Kitkat update 4.4.4...... Probably may or may not be there in LP/Marshmallow
Is anyone out there?? This issue is getting old and very frustrating =( help!
Hey so i'm oldfashioned and I like to use google chrome for all my browsing needs. The problem is, whenever the touchscreen keyboard comes up, it resizes whatever window I'm using to half the size. How do I stop this from happening?
Also, when I have the dock in, it still brings up the touch keyboard when I touch on a text box. Is there a way I can stop that from happening too? It's a really annoying process to click a text box, close the keyboard and then resize the window every time I want to type.
I assume you are talking about while you are on the desktop.
Click the maximize/windowed button (beside the Quit X) and it will turn in to a floating window instead.
