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.

Hi!
I'm using google apps in my rooted KF (talk, gmail, etc) and they work great, except that I cannot disable predictive text in them... This is a major annoyance for me, since I mostly type in Spanish (I don't want predictive text in Spanish either...).
I've disabled the "quick fixes" under Settings>Kindle Keyboard, and it works everywhere but in google apps.
Does someone know a fix for this? Should I install a 3rd party keyboard or something? (I really don't want to have to do that since I'm a noob with adb and stuff)
Thanks!
So I'm on BeanStalks newest ROM release 12/23 and its obvious 6.0.1 but I'm not getting the new emojis on my keyboard?!? anyone know whats going on?
Which keyboard are you using? They are available in the Google Keyboard, but the one I use, Swiftkey, hasn't updated yet. I can see them system wide, but have to switch to Google Keyboard to create them.

I use Google Keyboard. That's what I don't understand
I would guess that it's related to your custom ROM not including the proper fonts, then.
I am hoping some of you may be able to help me out. i am having some really odd issues after updating my Verizon S7 to Nougat. here they are.....
1) gBoard - when I activate the google keyboard, it is unusable. i see the keyboard...but the phone does not register my touch inputs. the rest of the screen recognizes my inputs...but the keyboard is dead. so i have to use the samsung keyboard. it works fine. but i prefer the gboard.
2) google sheets - i am unable to edit cells. i can scorll around in a spreadsheet, but when i tap to edit a cell...nothing happens.
3) autonotification - it seems that some of the takser profiles i have set to use autonotificaitons have stopped working.
thanks in advance!!

Do you have G-Board turned on as your default? I use it without issue on my phone with Nougat, so it's not a Nougat or S7 issue.
As for the others, I rarely use Sheets and don't use Tasker, so I can't comment on those issues.
i also noticed i can not input text into Google Keep. so it looks like i have no ability to input into any google apps (except gmail).
SOLVED
I finally figured out what the issue was. Hopefully this may help somone in the future.
The issue related to the Explore By Touch feature in Talkback. I had two services turned on in the Accessibility section of the phone's settings menu. When enabled, these two services activated the Explore By Touch feature in Talkback which prevented input into gBoard and google sheets. To solve the issue, I disabled Talkback using Package Disabler Pro. the two services causing the issue were AutoInput and Optical Reader. I have enabled AutoInput but not Optical Reader. This combined with disabling Talkback has resolved my issue. i am now able to use gBoard and google sheets.
I hope this info helps you as well.
thanks.
I got an interesting notification pushed from Google Play over the weekend. I did not have Google Play app scanning enabled which is why I assume this was pushed from Google servers. It just popped up. I wasn't even doing anything at the time. I looked at the notification payload in the notification log and it indeed was from com.android.vending so it wasn't some imposter notification.
Anyhow, the notification made it clear in no uncertain terms that regardless of any past good experiences with the TouchPal keyboard, this version should be REMOVED from the phone. There was mention of it capturing data it wasn't supposed to. I should have grabbed a screen shot.
Fortunately, I was already using GBoard. HTC, like a number of others, pre-installs TouchPal so I was only able to disable it.
Do I trust Google and US Gov implicity? No. But I certainly put more stock in them than a keyboard straight out of China. There are few more dangerous apps you can put on an Android device than a keyboard IMO.
Anybody else seen this?
I would love to know how to remove this horribly invasive friggin program called TouchPal I disable it daily and it has permissions allowing it to make better use of my phone than I can......nice.....right?!?!!.......
Anyway anyone with knowledge on how to do this please email me.

Person fed up with annoying apps.
My apologies if this is the wrong forum, but my problem just started on my new Samsung Galaxy S10+ phone. If there's a better place for it, admins please feel free to move this post.
I've been using an LG G6 for the past couple of years, and when I use the Google Voice Keyboard to dictate to my phone, it has always provided me with a drop box of alternate word choices after transcribing my speech to text. It does this by underlining a word that it thinks might be transcribed incorrectly, and when you click on the underlined word, a list of alternative words appears in a drop down box.
Just this past week, I upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S10+, and I find this feature seems to be missing entirely from the Google Voice Keyboard. I've tried using GBoard and the default Samsung keyboard, and I even installed TouchPal, but I can't seem to get this functionality to appear. I've done multiple Google searches to find out how to turn this on, and can find nothing! I can't be the only person with this problem, right? What am I missing?
I did do some detective work on my LG G6, and it seems the functionality appears in the Google Messages app when typing a message, but it doesn't appear when I'm putting text into a Google Keep note, so I don't know if this functionality varies by app. However, when I try to input a new message into Google Messages app on my Galaxy S10+, that functionality is missing, so it doesn't seem to be only an app issue.
Can anyone give me any suggestions or a solution? I've attached a photo of the functionality I'm describing.
Thanks!
