Can't change keyboard. - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I wanted to try out the newest version of the Google keyboard, so after installing the APK, I went to change keyboards, and I don't have the option in my notification area. Am I missing a change in the methods to change keyboards? I'm not sure how to get it back. I'm rooted on 6.0.1 MHC19Q. If you need any more information, please let me know.

Value added installer help

Hey,
I've installed this value added installer and it changed my whole phone to arabic. How do I get it back to english?
well the only way to solve the problem is to install the whole rom.. i.e. rom in english.. if thats difficult you can live with two lnguages.. in programs go to multilingual support.. unclick disable multilingual support then set ur language to English with arabic support

Don't panic mate. You can still return some english parts of it but not all. Try this first:
1.) Go to the Settings tab (that's the last tab in the slider, far right after the footprints tab)
2.) Count 10 from the very top of the settings and click it.
3.) From there Choose the 1st menu and try to choose english from the 1st drop downlist.
If this doesn't help just try to download this stock rom:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Leo...Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship.exe
or if that is not the stock rom that you are using try to search here:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Leo/
That happened to me before, i have managed to put back some english parts but still it's irritating if you cant understand something that you are seeing on your phone. I have managed to restore my stock rom back then.
Hope this helps mate!
Goodluck. Let me know what happens. You can just reply to this thread or pm me, i'll be glad to help you.
i have downloaded the first link but it doesnt run on my htc hd2. the other link is an index... what am supposed to search for in that list?
well I've installed the value added installer and it did turn my phone to arabic,
disabling Arabic suuport means you're back to zero. however, you just need to change a few parts and all of the English interface will be back:
enable English with Arabic support from the multilingual support option, you'll find it in Misc in the settings tab, or in system in the winmo settings page (that's whn you click menu>all settings when you're in the settings tab).
now soft reset.
go to the settings tab again and choose locale and text > Regional. Personally I set it to UK because it's quite closer to what I use but if you want more advanced options, go again to winmo settings choose system and then regional, you'll be able ro maually adjust each value, even choose how the date will appear: Arabic, English names in Arabic, or plain English.
soft reset and you're good to go
hope that helps
note that the value added installer will be automatically installed whenever you hard reset, which means you'll have to do these all over again, a better idea is to install some of these backup programs which will restore the mobile to it's state at the time of the backup.

Yea, I believe AnySoftKeyboard, which lets you install multiple-language keyboards, from the Market has a Hewbrew keyboard.
I just got my new HTC ARIA & tried installing AnySoftKeyboard.
It say it was installed successfuly but i cant see the program in my device.
Any idea someone?
make sure to enable the keyboard through setting >> language and keyboard.

Keyboards will not be found in programs , but can be seen in Settings>Applications if installed.
To activate go to Settings>Language&keyboard to activate and configure.
To set the Input Method (choose the keyboard you want to use when multiple keyboards are activated) , do a long press on any text input box (i.e. google search) and select Input Method.
Shalom,

Hardware keyboard custom layout

Hi,
I need two layouts. When I press fn+space, I get a list with all Scandinavian languages and English. But I need just one of them (Norwegian) and I need one additional (Russian). I tried "Russian Keyboard", but it knows nothing about "ÅØÆ" keys and it also changes software keyboard. For me it's better to remove all these layouts but Norwegian, and add custom Russian layout. I saw a topic with remapping of keys, but I didn't understand how to add layout and change mapping just for this new layout.

a layout is a set of key-mappings
you can find them in "/system/usr/keylayout"
I guess your phone didn't load the correct keyboard layout file. you can try to force your phone to load your desired layout file by deleting or renaming them
So if I put a new layout to "/system/usr/keylayout" it will be attached to the list?
BTW, I tried to root device without success. Temp-root doesn't work for me...

Yes. Terminal Emulator just doesn't want to start again (after "Forked" messag). The device is getting very slow, and after few tries to start Terminal Emulator I have to restart.
why would you open the terminal with gfree method?

[Q] Samsung Keyboard: Language issue

Using a roted N910C with CXXU1ANK5 firmware. I am using the samsung stock keyboard. My issue: I am writing in several languages which is why in added "input languages" in the samsung setting menu. Now I have English (US), German and French installed. However, whenever I get back into the "select languages" menu, the added languages need "update". Then I select "update" and the update is downloaded with a clearly visible progress bar. Back to settings, back to "select languages" and bam: The "update" button is back. That alone would just annoy me. But worse: Whenever I am entering text with the stylus, the "to be updated" languages are no longer available.
Tried clearing chache and re-flashing the ROM. No success.
Searched quite a bit but could not find anyone with that problem. Am I the only one? Anyone has a fix for that? Thanx for help.

That does sound like a rare issue, but I think this issue can be easily fixed. I will get in touch with Samsung Executive Developer Support and get back to you. In the meanwhile, go to the application manager in settings, swipe to ALL and clear data on Samsung Keyboard.

New Keyboard Layout on Lollipop Update

I've just updated my phone to the new lollipop update, and I've noticed that the highlighted text and the gesture slide is orange. I'm not a big fan, is there anyway to change the colour..I've tried changing the theme and checked the keyboard settings but I can't seem to change it. HELP!!
Changing the theme should work. Try the stock theme named "Red".
