Tell me your whole update process. Don't show me the link to the guide, just tell me exactly what YOU did.

This works, I updated myself several times, so the problem must be somewhere on your end.

:good::angel:
[Android Themes] JoeFCaputo113:
1. DL Swiftkey beta (v6.5) from APKMirror

2. DL SuperSwiftkey from the repo on my phone, and transfer to my computer

3. Delete themelist.json from Swiftkey beta

4. Transfer all themes from Super Swiftkey to Swiftkey beta

5. Deleted meta-inf in Swiftley beta

6. Copied Swiftley beta to my phone

7. Used Mixplorer to sign APK, APK was only 1.62 kb and "had problem parsing package" every damn time -__-
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Delete the original theme folder entirely, then replace it entire folder inside the new apk with super themes. No need to just delete theme list. It will go with the entire folder and be replaced. Because you might have things left inside from original theme system which changed. Might be causing the parse..But usually that means you have bad manifest or wrong version for your device. Does the stock one install without themes added?
[Android Themes] Rhoban:
Did you download Super SwiftKey beta or stable? There are 2 versions, you know, and they are different. Each is based on the respective SwiftKey build.

So copying stuff from stable to beta, or vice versa, may cause your problems.

I do recommend using the stable version for both.

If you still don't have success, then try doing the whole process on the phone only, no PC.
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Nah the themes are identical, I use pc only no issues. It's something with version used or corruption. Parsing is only error on installing bad manifest...or wrong version for device. That's why I asked him to install stock to test and replace entire folder.
[Android Themes] quack75:
I think that this debate is really interesting.... ??

But have you thought that the problem is Mix Explorer?

In my case with same output the application Mt Manager have solved the problem

[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Possibly but I've used MiX to sign other apps no problem but this is a huge app so might also be why. "Thinking out loud" [emoji12]
[Android Themes] Rhoban:
I am using MiXplorer to sign every update. I just used it last week to do it.

Granted, I don't copy all the Super SwiftKey themes, so my apk is a lot smaller (around 30 MB).
[Android Themes] joemilan:
If I add all themes it works for me but if I want add only some themes not work... How you edit, in themelist.json, numbers at end of lines... "formatVersion:x" "minorVersion:x"??
[Android Themes] Rhoban:
I don't edit the numbers.

Make sure the themelist.json is edited correctly.

And never delete ics_resources, spotlight_resources and material_resources folders
[Android Themes] JoeFCaputo113:
I've tried everything guys.... still won't work. I'm so confused lol.
[Android Themes] Rhoban:
Did you try doing the whole process on the phone, as I suggested?

That means absolutely no PC at all.

As I said, it works for me. So the problem is definitely something you do.
[Android Themes] syverman:
Use version for Android 4.4+, take it from apkmirror

[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
I sure hope it didn't say in the instructions to decompile or use apk tool...i don't remember seeing it. ;)
[Android Themes] Rhoban:
Not really. It said extract and then repack after everything is modified.

---------- Post added at 11:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 AM ----------

The only thing I can suggest is to do the entire process on the phone, as it's the only process I'm familiar with.

Download apk to phone (apk mirror)

Download Super SwiftKey to phone

Open Super SwiftKey with a file manager and get the themes you want.

Copy them to some other folder (and keep them there for use in later future updates)

Then copy the themes inside the original SwiftKey apk.

Don't forget to modify the themelist.json accordingly.

The final step is to sign the apk. You can use whatever you want. I personally use MiXplorer and the zip signer add-on.
[Android Themes] Ibuprophen:
I do the whole process from my device using only the Total Commander and ZipSigner apps.

First I Always make a backup copy of the SwiftKey app (just in case i messed up) then move the one I'm going to edit within an INTERNAL location (like your download folder or elsewhere) because the ZipSigner app can give an issue when using an external location (not sure why but, it's no big deal to me using the internal memory). After moving the apk file to an internal location, I change the SwiftKey file extension from .apk to .zip (or just add .zip after the .apk). I then open the zip file using Total Commander and do what little I need to do and always finish off by removing the CERT.RSA & CERT.SF files from the META-INF folder. Then when I'm done, I change the extension back from .zip to .apk (or if i added the .zip then i just remove the .zip). Then go into ZipSigner and only select the "CHOOSE IN/OUT..." option on the top left and select the SwiftKey apk file that was just edited (leaving everything else alone) and then select the "SIGN THE FILE" option on the bottom left. It can take a few minutes but, when it's done, go to the internal location and you'll see 2 apk files with the same name but, one of them has "-signed" at the end of the apps name.

There's an abridged version of the process...

I sometimes have an app i don't want seen in the Play Store for updates and just remove the 2 CERT files and use the ZipSigner to sign them. Then, after i install the app, i confirm it in the Play Store and... TADA!!!

LOL :eek:

[Android Themes] Rhoban:
You don't have to change the extension to zip. Total commander can open the apk as zip without doing that.

No need to overcomplicate things.
[Android Themes] Ibuprophen:
I know that but, it's just a small preference of mine.

Just ran across Super Swiftkey last week. I wish I had known about it a long time ago!

I have a newbie install question. Last week I downloaded the app direct to my phone (I am on Nexus 6P running stock 7.1.1). I have install from unknown sources checked, but the apk would not install from my phone (clicking "install" did nothing). Then I decided to move the file to my Mac and sideload install it via adb. Viola - that worked and I was up and running.

Just downloaded the brand new December updated apk to my phone and tried to install direct from my phone. Again, no response.

Any idea why I can sideload the apk via adb, but not direct install from my phone?
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Define does nothing? You touch apk and no response?

I'd need a log of the package installer but try clearing package installer data. Nothing will break.
[Android Themes] wbarnes4393:
Originally, tried to touch the apk file via my "download" folder in app drawer. Touching it literally did nothing. Then, I pulled it up in my file manager (I use Astro), and got the apk install screen, with "Install" and "Cancel" at the bottom. Touching "Install" yielded no response. That's when I did an install via sideload adb, and it worked.

As an update, this morning when I downloaded the updated apk, again no result touching from native download folder. HOWEVER, this time when I tried installing it from Astro, it worked. I didn't have to sideload from the computer.

I'm happy, since it installed. I guess I am good for now.
[Android Themes] wbarnes4393:
Incidentally, THANK YOU for this app! The themes are great! I've been tempted by Google keyboard lately, and used it for a bit. One of the things I liked about it was the clean, material themes, but also with secondary symbol characters. Super Swiftkey gives me the best of both worlds - swiftkey predictions and functionality, with a Google keyboard look! (now if SwiftKey could just add something akin to the Google space bar cursor control....)

Anyway to donate to the cause? (of which I realize you are one of the devs - again, thank you!)

Ok working on zips,, should be ready in a few hours. Takes a while.
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
If you haven't noticed yet the links never showed up on the TeamBlackOut site. It's because I'm in the process of giving you guys your own folder there. Easier to find updates and sort if you don't want to use the updater or fast installs..etc etc etc...old ones will remain in the blackout folder.

Have a Happy and SAFE New year!

[Android Themes] Rapier:
I was just wondering...is there a theme that has the same color palette as Ninja Trainer/Pro but with VISIBLE keys?

Yes I know there are some dark/red themes, I was looking for one that looks the same as the "ninja" ones. Having a light grey/blue color for the keys with red accents and the keys having the look as the key pop-up (it is dark with some red top/bottom lines or brackets). I would eventually donate for such a theme if someone's interested
[Android Themes] JoeFCaputo113:
I still have yet to figure this out lolol :(

Could somehow perhaps make a YouTube tutorial of this or PM me for help? I would seriously appreciate it.
[Android Themes] Phrodini:
Figure what out?

That was a waste of a good idea on their end..letters could have disappeared once you tap on them and remain visible regularly
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Very easy

-uninstall stock SwiftKey

-Install updater app from OP

-Go to side drawer and go to themed apps

-Go to SuperSwiftkey section

-Go to correct section for your device

-hit download arrow...keep updater open...it will prompt to install after downloaded.

Install,, setup,, enjoy

[Android Themes] Rapier:

Wow I posted that kind of in the wrong thread haha. But I can't figure out how to manually update Super Swiftkey (using the tutorial). :/
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
If you can't follow the tutorial then just use the one I uploaded. It's updated.
[Android Themes] Rhoban:
Extract Super SwiftKey theme folder

Delete original SwiftKey theme folder

Copy the Super SwiftKey folder into the original SwiftKey apk

Sign the zip with whatever

Profit.

What I've been doing, then I get a "problem parsing package" when I try to install.
[Android Themes] Rhoban:
You should try using the Android 4.0.3 apk.
[Android Themes] audianer:
how can i remove the "word forecast"?
[Android Themes] Tommydorns:
Once again great job on the themes. I am having an issue with the MM_ARM 64 with modifying the apk and signing it doesn't work. I've used Mixplorer to sign the apk and it come out to 1.62 kb vs the apk actually being 170 MB. It obviously won't install. Something different about this one as I've done this in the past no problem. If this has been asked before I am sorry. Anyone else had this issue? Thanks in advance.
[Android Themes] [] AL []:
Word "predictions" could be made invisible by editing an existing or creating a new theme.

This would require to set a fully transparent color (#00xxxxxx) for the candidate and top_candidate text styles and also replace the backgrounds with transparent ones for the same relevant candidate and top_candidate 'keys' xml files - making sure that their pressed states are also transparent.

Although, that would still leave all the space that those usually take as an empty "dead" space which would look weird IMHO and if pressed by mistake, then unwanted words would be pasted in your text...

So without going into hacking the app's layouts -**something that will never be discussed in this thread**- there's no real way to do this properly.

I've had issues with MiXplorer when signing apks lately and they got solved by installing the recently released beta version: 6.10.8.TEST-B1612301. So if it's not what you've used, you can give that a try. But to be honest, for a file that large, I'd rather use a dedicated signing app from the Playstore and I would even prefer using my PC. Because 1- MiX can be quite slow at signing apps (takes already close to a minute for just a 12MB file on my phone) and 2- people have previously reported having issues signing files over 100MB (either ways) with their phones...
[Android Themes] Rhoban:
There's an Xposed module that can do it.
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Use your previous working themes folder. No need to edit the one I made it's just older files.
[Android Themes] Tommydorns:
Thank you for your help. Yep, it was due to the file being too large. I tried three different apps to sign the apk with and none of them worked including the latest TEST beta of MiXplorer. I was going to keep all of the themes this time and just change some of the Flow colors but that's OK. Thanks for the help guys.
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Yeah the last test MiXplorer has crashes signing, It been reported to the dev I think. Might just be too large to replace the signature like on my PC. Try deleting META-INF folder in root of apk and sign.
[Android Themes] brolee93:
Hello all ,

I have one pb i want to make my personnaly theme but if i just modify original apk of swiftkey i can't install it why ?

i have uninstall previous version before install my apk modified . (corrupt package when i want install)

So i have just modify one line in theme section and i can't install . it is one protection ?

If i just sign apk it is not work without modify anything.

With other apk i can modify sign and all is work
[Android Themes] [] AL []:
How (or what did you use) did you sign it? Read my last post not far above yours...
[Android Themes] brolee93:
ok i see
[Android Themes] locutusx:
I am curious (slightly off topic), does the regular Play Store version of SwiftKey also have an "arm64" version? Do we need to do anything special to ensure that version gets installed on our phones (if we're using Play Store version)?
[Android Themes] Rapier:
It has. The right version is automatically selected at download time. Play Store "knows" your device and knows what app is suitable for it so it's choosing the correct version

Hello I'm not sure if I should be posting this here, I love this keyboard I just wish I if there was a way to stop it from taking the full screen while I'm typing in landscape mode.

I've used a app which stops it with xpossed I used it long ago on my Samsung Galaxy S2, now I have OnePlus 3 running on nougat unrooted. So please let me know if there's any way to get rid of the full screen in landscape mode.. Thanks
[Android Themes] syverman:
I think android has an option for that on language and input
[Android Themes] Farhanbadarcher:
No there's no option like that I've been looking for it from years
[Android Themes] Rhoban:
Some ROMs have it, others don't.

You can undock the keyboard, thus it won't be full screen anymore.
[Android Themes] Farhanbadarcher:
Which keyboard are you using? I'm using SwiftKey Beta
[Android Themes] syverman:
Super SwiftKey
[Android Themes] Farhanbadarcher:
I can't find ' super SwiftKey' on playstore.. It has the 'disable full screen in landscape mode'?
[Android Themes] syverman:
Super SwiftKey in not on play store, is right here on this thread, and no, there's no option on any SwiftKey for that.
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
This is not keyboard dependent, some apps can trigger Fullscreen. Nothing to do with Swiftkey.
[Android Themes] Farhanbadarcher:
Yes I know but I'm just asking if there's any way to stop it from taking the whole screen
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Like others have posted it's something a ROM would have to include. We only theme here not mod so please stay on topic thanks.
[Android Themes] Rhoban:
I already told you. Undock the keyboard.

The only other option is to flash a custom ROM that has the option you're looking for.

So, there you have it. 2 ways to do what you want.
[Android Themes] MysteryIII:
Sorry for multi quote, just wanted to share information with all of you:

There's an Xposed Module just to disable Fullscreen behavior, it's called Disable Fullscreen Keyboard.
[Android Themes] Rhoban:
The one who asked for this feature has an unrooted phone if I'm not mistaking.

So Xposed wouldn't really help him in.

[Android Themes] sonnysekhon:
No go. I was finally able to recompile the apk but then got a parsing error after trying to install. Let's hope this doesn't happen with the regular (non beta) release.

I have modified the beta the old fashioned way: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vcr8x7x4i4wt200/SwiftKey_Public_Beta-4.5.0.13_signed.apk

Only the Holo and the Pitch themes seem to work.

[Android Themes] virago21788:
i get it to compile with apktool 2 and framework 4.4 but when i go to install I get parsing error.
[Android Themes] sonnysekhon:
Yeah, but I fixed that by adding the following to the styles.xml:

<style name="Widget.AppCompat.Base"></style>

<style name="Widget.AppCompat.Base.DropDownItem"></style>

<style name="Widget.AppCompat.Light.Base"></style>

<style name="TextAppearance.AppCompat.Base"></style>

<style name="Theme.AppCompat.Base"></style>

<style name="Widget.AppCompat"></style>

<style name="Widget.AppCompat.Light"></style>

<style name="TextAppearance.AppCompat"></style>

<style name="Widget"></style>

<style name="TextAppearance"></style>

It compiled fine but then resulted in the parsing error.
