[Q] Keyboard lagging after a while, alternative? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
I own a Nexus 4 on which I have installed the stock rom by Google, version 5.1, no root, only unlocked bootloader.
I found out that every alternative keyboard I try (I like Fleksy, Minuum and TouchPal over the others, but this happens with every keyboard I ever tried) lags after a while. I mean, the first 2 or 3 days it all works fine, then it starts to be slow on opening, and general lag occurs.
Except for Google Keyboard and Kii Keyboard (not available anymore), it happened with Fleksy, Minuum, TouchPal, SwiftKey, Swype, Go.... everyone.
Is there something I should do on my phone? Or maybe is there a keyboard that does not ship with this particular problem on my device?
Thank you for your kind help,
Ruben

[Q] CM11 - No keyboard / camera

Hi,
I hope this wasn't asked before, but I couldn't find anything.
I am currently using CM11 (latest build) with minimal gapps installed and face two problems:
A few months ago, when it was released in the play store, I decided to install the Google keyboard. This app somehow replaced the AOSP keyboard on my phone. I wasn't to impressed with it and decided to uninstall it, leaving me without any keyboard at all! This hasn't changed since, no matter how often I upgraded the CM11 and gapps build. It's no big deal for me, because I use another keyboard app, but I find this behavior rather strange.
I seem to have a similar problem with the camera app. When the Google camera app was released recently, I tried installing it - this time it didn't work, it told me that the app was already installed. After that I found out that I suddenly had no camera on my phone at all! How is this possible?
Can someone tell me where these apps have gone and how to recover them?
Thanks in advance.

How to disable Keyboard forever

Since the Nougat Update, I noticed, that I can also disable the build in Samsung Keyboard, if I have a separet Keyboard like Gboard installed. However after some time, the Samsung Keyboard seems to enable itself again.
Is there some way to let the Samsung Keyboard disabled all the time, without rooting the device?

One of those Package disablers should do the trick, check Google Play.
There is a Problem with Package Disablers i come across the last times i used them. If i disable the Samsung Keyboard with them, then the Sync also for Google Keyboard (or Gboard) seems to be disabled also. Maybe there is some dependence, maybe not, i didn't know exactly. But if i disable the internal Keyboard via the hard way, it disables Sync for Gboard also.
So i was surprised and exited to found such a switch in the official settings of the S7 Edge.
BTW: The only reason why i would like GBoard more is, that i haven't found a way to type Special Characters like ³ and ² with the Samsung Keyboard. I didn't use the GIF Features or such things with GBoard. If you know a easy way to type such Special Characters with Samsung Keyboard, i could switch back.

Gboard crashing all the time.

Stock rom no root. After google updated the keyboard to gboard it crash at every moment. Every time, sometimes it get stuck and don't reset so i can't write and have to restart the phone. Really anoying. Is someone else experiencing the same problem?
After months of suferring i uninstalled it and download google keyboard latest version before gboard and now my phone is a lot lot lot more faster and there are no more crash.
gboard is complete garbage and so are many keyboards, I find it unbelievable that most android keyboards use more RAM than chrome
any information about this gboard problem? i whant to keep it stock.

Gboard work like crap. Just download google keyboard latest version before Gboard and you will be ok. It is Stock, just don't update it.

What is the most battery friendly keyboard, stock or an app?

I ditched Gboard because it's been crashing a lot lately and it freezes. I didn't ever like using stock keyboard before because it wouldn't capitalize I or add apostrophe's where needed in words. It seems to be actually doing that now. Gboard has never used more than 0.1% of battery. I really liked it until it started crashing. I had used it since March. What keyboard app is most battery friendly, stock or an app?
