[Q] Can't change Input Method - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a rooted S5 running alliance rom with the Apex launcher and I cannot enable any other keyboard. I've installed/unistalled multiple keyboards and when I change the input method it will get ticked and then switch right back to the stock keyboard. Any have this happen or have a fix?

Never had that happen but try freezing the stock keyboard then try using a different one.

Updating to 3.2 without TouchWiz

Something I haven't seen discussed is whether it is possible to upgrade the SGT 10.1 to Honeycomb 3.2 without putting TouchWiz on the tablet. I haven't installed the firmware update that brought TouchWiz and would like to avoid it if possible. Anyone know if this is possible?
Dont believe so. It's either you opt in to Touchwiz and the Samsung upgrade path or you do it with custom ROMs if you want to stick with pure AOSP
No, you cannot do it. If you install from Samsung, you can't avoid TW. And currently there is no 3.2 custom rom without TW.

Is it possible to somehow switch the navigation bar at the bottom back to what it used to look like before touchwiz? Changing launchers doesn't change the navigation bar, so does touchwiz have to be removed all together? If so, how? Anyone
The only way that I can think of would be to flash back to 3.1 pre TW update... I can't remember where I found the odin files for this as its been a while since I did it....
Maybe someone has a link to the odin files needed..... But you'd be back at 3.1.....

Stock keyboard hunt

Hey. So I just recently got bored with the stock s4 ROM and decided to go back into the rooting business. I flashed TWRP recovery and LiquidSmooth ROM. Everything is great but I realized I lost the Samsung keyboard. Now, I know it's not the greatest keyboard out there, but it did allow me to view and send the little built in emojis. I am using SwiftKey beta keyboard that supports emojis but they are the Android looking emojis, not the real ones. I've looked high and low for an original apk or zip I can flash that will install the stock keyboard but can't find anything. Can someone help me out? . Thanks!
Can't run stock touchwiz keyboard on AOSP.

[Q] Hide apps in drawer is removed after updating to 4.4.2 (KitKat)

I really love the TouchWiz launcher. But i miss to hide my apps in drawer. Is there a way to get 4.3 launcher to 4.4.2, or a mod that can fix it for me?
I've tried the 4.3 launcher with 4.4.2 but it gives FC
yep. that was what I first noticed with the update. try putting them into folders.
cheers ~
This really isn't good enough! WTF is Samsung thinking? There should be no reason for removing this functionality? It seems to also be something built within the firmware; it is not launcher related in otherwords, I found this out because when I was running Android 4.3 I had flashed an update to run the S5 launcher and icons theme. When I did this I was still able to hit the menu button and select apps that I wanted to hide. Since upgrading to Kitkat I noticed as you did that I was no longer able to do this, that was ok I just thought to myself "No problem I will just flash the launcher upgrade and theme for S5 on my S3 as I did before and that should allow me to unlock this functionality" NOT CAN DO! Both the stock Kitkat launcher and the S5 theme upgrade do not unlock this functionality unfortunately Someone is going to have to find out where the issue lies and try to port it back? If I find the answer I will make sure I post back here with a fix.

Download the s5 launcher from one of our threads. Flash it. And you have the hidr feature again.
Or just install a 3rd part touchwiz launcher themed app..you have that function
Mi launcher..nova..apex..go...any if these launchers do provide this function
Press Thanks if I helped

[APK Request] ATT Samsung s4 NI1 stock keyboard

I like the stock Samsung keyboard but after the NJ4 update the ability to save custom words is gone and the whole keyboard is crappy now. I was wondering if anybody has the NI1 stock keyboard apk? or where to get it?
Thanks in advance

Hello. This may help you. I got back to the NI1 keyboard by simply installing that rom into slot-1 and then used Titanium Backup to save the keyboard out into my SDcard ... then rebooted ... switched back to my Base rom ... and "restored" the keyboard into it. It worked flawlessly and it's a no brainer, very easy to do with a play store app, and takes 2 minutes with no fiddling around. I hope this helps. Cheers!

navbar glitch when changing launcher

hi, whenever i change huawei home with any different launcher ( i tried many) my navbar keeps turning black then it return transparent every i time i unlock my phone, is that normal? is there any workaround?
I have same glitch so probably its common.Soetimes even on stock launcher (1 of 10) i have same glitch especially with bright wallpaper.
Im using Nova Launcher Prime and I don't experience this problem. Maybe its a bug. You could try flashing the standard firmware, maybe an updated one if possible. Im not an expert about this kind of stuff but flashing stock firmware shouldn't harm your device.
