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?

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
I just come across a artical which explins why swiftkey legs.
That delay is due to forceclosing and redraw of the stock keyboard that for some reason is connected to Samsung's much maligned SPCM service that also has been blamed for the overly aggressive RAM management on its recent Android phones.
1. Open your build.prop file, and replace the line:
sys.config.spcm_enable=true
with
sys.config.spcm_enable=false
2. The SPCM servce culprit should be disabled now.
Works like a charm for me
Wish I could but not wanting to root
With latest arter karnel SwiftKey is working perfectly

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.
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

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.
So i've been reading for a bit and apparently there was an update that added an app drawer to Leeco phones (someone correct me if i'm wrong) but i can't find the system update option on my phone at all and i've looked everywhere.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
EDIT: Did some additional searching and it seems i have a shop rom (i have google apps and no system update option and zero chinese bloatware).
So for anyone that comes across this thread, you can't update unless you go through update.zip.
That's bad. I just got this phone and I was suprised that I don't have the bloatware launcher, but Google Now. Also I can't find any system updater in options. Seems like I have the same thing, which is both a plus and minus. And do you have a problem with custom launchers? Google Now is a poop and when I installed Lawnchair, I couldn't remove the last app I opened from the multitasking. Specifically it appeared in one "window" with the launcher so I couldn't "kick it out". I got back to Google Now, but I hate it. Do you have the same problem?
(Lol, such a long post)
Haven't actually tried a different launcher, i hear Nova is good though, it might be worth it to try.

Sorry for such a late reply. Finally moved to a custom launcher (Microsoft Launcher) and it has the same issue with the last app staying open. So i make sure to always keep the dialer/contacts app open as it seems like the least performance/battery heavy app to keep running. Annoying, but way way better than the launcher the phone came with that didn't even have an app drawer.
