What you see, why it happens, and the taps that fix it. More answers are in the faq. Still stuck? Report a bug.

the old keyboard came back

Android picks a keyboard per app and after some updates, and can switch back.

  1. Hold the space bar, or tap the keyboard button in the navigation bar.
  2. Pick Keyglow.

keyglow is not in the list

Android keeps every keyboard off until you turn it on, and an update or a reset can turn it off again.

  1. Open Keyglow, Set up.
  2. Turn on Keyglow, then switch to Keyglow.

suggestions in the wrong language

Suggestions follow only the language you are on.

  1. Tap the globe key until the right language shows.

no launcher theme

The theme comes from Phosphor or Hyprtile on the same phone. An older launcher does not share it.

  1. Update Phosphor or Hyprtile from Google Play.
  2. Open Look and pick My launcher.

the lights do not move

The lights hold still when animations are off in Android's settings.

  1. Android settings, Accessibility: turn animations back on.

autocorrect keeps changing a word

  1. Tap Delete right after the fix. Keyglow keeps your word and stops making that fix.
  2. Or set Autocorrect to Mild under Typing help.

the veil covers what I need

Some apps never tell the keyboard where the cursor is, so the clear band sits just above the keys.

  1. Tap the veil button to lift it for a moment.
  2. Taps and scrolls on the shade still reach the app.

no red lines in other apps

Android uses one spell checker for the whole phone.

  1. Typing help, Spell check with Keyglow.
  2. Pick Keyglow there, and check the spell checker is on.

my learned words are gone

Words live only on the phone. Clearing Keyglow's storage or a new phone starts fresh.

  1. Your words, Restore your words from a file, if you made a backup.
  2. From now on, back up now and then.

asked to pay again

  1. Sign in to Google Play with the account that bought Keyglow.
  2. Install from your library there. You never pay twice.
