[Q] 4.1 Keyboard FC [Probably Semaphoer Issue]

[nabh1286]

Been having this problem since the last 2 days, The Keyboard FCs as soon as the phone is started, no use clearing the Data. Tried various roms, Slim, RemICS-JB, CM-10. So I think its down to the kernel, is anyone else experiencing similar issues?

EDIT: Forgot to mention Kernel Version: 3.0.46-Semaphore_JB_2.4.0sc
EDIT 2: Tried another version: 3.0.55-Semaphore_JB_2.6.6c still the same issue, adding screen shot.

Kernels don't affect keyboards (or most apps for that matter).

Have you tried it without restoring anything?

Also, are you doing a clean flash when trying other ROMs?

you could try installing touchpal from google play but could be tough getting it from Google play on your phone if you can't type it into search. lol.

better way maybe: you could load it from Google play via a pc web browser, which should send it to your phone, no working keyboard needed. then go to your settings, and select TouchPal as default.

He should have access to other keyboards already. As for a 3rd party keyboard, it's up to personal preference but if I had to suggest one, I'd say swiftkey (there's a free version and a flow version *swype-like*)

Thanks, I'll take a look at swiftkey.
Touchpal has the swype style entry as well, but it is laggy starting on first use after boot.

The thing is I wasn't logged in my account so couldn't install through PC as well, I had to do a ODIN back to stock and now I'm running Gingerbread. Will try out different Rom's till I get one working.

All the Roms I flashed were a clean flash so no apps interfering with the keyboard, I think this should solve the issue, will keep you guys posted. Thanks a lot for your suggestions.

Okay, this is testing my patience, I'm through KJ3 NBL, KK4 with and without bootloaders, and I had issues rooting them with one click root (speroneclickv2.3.1-shortfuse) so I did a manual root via ODIN using Corn Kernel and flashed CWM and then after, I'm not able to flash any Rom (though I've tried only JB ones) and am getting a status 0 error. I'm able to flash kernels though. Any thoughts on where I should start?


And now I'm trying to ODIN back to stock and it is stuck at the D/L screen, making me want to scream and tear my hair.

EDIT: Can flash GB and ICS Roms, tried a couple and now I'm thinking I need to learn more about the partitions for JB roms. Ah well.....

It's quite simple actually, after you get status 0 error, you simply reflash as it needs to rebuild the partition on JB.

Worked like a charm, thanks a lot.But now its back to the same issue, Android Keyboard (AOSP) has stopped. It can't be that all the JB Roms I've downloaded have the same bug now right? Besides I have flashed previous versions as well which worked for me earlier but not now. This is ridiculous.

EDIT: Fixed after flashing Helly Bean 4.2 not sure what caused the issue, but I'm not gonna mess with it further, Thanks for the help guys.

Well my suggestion would be to use a different keyboard and freeze or uninstall that one. I'm really not sure why it won't work on your phone. it is app related though
