Upgrade to 5G: Save $50 on the unlocked Pixel 4a today

I have had a problem using anything but the stock keyboard. Swiftkey X and Better keyboard 8 both cause the touch screen to lock, doing a power down restores it back to the stock keyboard. Some old apps I used to use I can no longer see in the market, but I was able to find suitable replacements.
Good and solid, ran it for all of last week with no resets. It uses both my Microcell and regular cells, the 4G radio (3.5G) seems a tad better hanging onto outside cells the old firmware just ignored and would switch to the Microcell at home. The battery might be a little better, last night I was at 65% when I usually would have been at 50% or less for similar usage (16 hours off the charger), but yesterday was slow, only 2 texts!
The only major flaw is I can't use Swiftkey X. Also interesting, the option to upgrade HTC firmware is gone, only showing ATT software update(The software update was previously mentioned in another post, I am just confirming the HTC update button is gone). I heard there were some problems with text, but Handcent works perfectly.
If anyone has a workaround for the 3rd party keyboard, please post it.

It ran great on Win 7 64 bit. Maybe a half hour to 45 minutes before completing.
Now a dumb question, is there a way back without rooting? I did backup using the HTC backup utility.
And you do retain the 3rd party download option/switch too

Unless there is an update that fixes the 3rd party keyboard, this is it, loaded with all the ATT junk. Can't root, if there was a leak from my phone regarding company business (even though I pay for the phone, I sometimes use it for business), my employer would have kittens if they found out I had "modified" the phone, I would be asking at my next job: Would you like fries with that?
The WiFi seems a little bit more stable on this version also. The fact it chooses a "real cell" vs my Microcell when I am inside at home is a big plus too, it always took the Microcell at -95Db vs a real cell at -90Db, come to think of it, I never remember it picking up a cell reliably at home unless I was on the roof and even considering the possibility AT&T might have actually upgraded the coverage in my area, Nawwww! It has to be the new Gingerbread ROM.
Actually starting to get used to the "stock" keyboard, Switkey X made me lazy.......

Not sure if I should install this....maybe I'll just wait a little bit.
