MiBox S 4K - On-Screen Keyboard Not working ( Gboard Keyboard gray out)

by Angelus604

The default Keyboard app Gboard (yes Gboard is installed as a System app) stopped working and now i can't use the On-screen keyboard for searching. I notice that the Gboard app is gray out if the other "native" Input Keyboards (Korean,Pinyin,etc) are disable. Even if i I enable them, and toggle the Gboard switch on and off the keyboard still doesn't appear.

When Input Keyboard toggles are disable

When Input Keyboard toggles are enable

I already tried:

- Disable and enable the Gboard app

- Force stop

- Clear data & Cache

- Restart Mi Box

- Uninstall updates and later install them

- Side load the app

- Change the system language (mi Box) and then change it back.

- Changing the Keyboard language to system app or "English (US)"

- Delete Google App data and cache, Force stop, Uninstall Updates.

If i choose one of the Keyboard inputs ( Korean, Japanese, Pinyin) their respective on-screen keyboard appears. but somehow the gboard app doesn't.

My last resort is either install another Keyboard app or factory reset the Box. Is there any chance a fix for this problem or any keyboard app that works without problems.

Thanks in advance.

I can't use Gboard either ( Nvidia shield TV). Just disabled Gboard and use the default keyboard
