>> Sometimes too much info is bad, in this case him doing nandrpid is best practice.

It's the simplest practice, but not the best.

>> Making revert zips and all that is for us advanced guys but users that's a little too much.

My first (and main) suggestion to him was to simply use his custom recovery's file manager functionality to delete whatever files or folders that the SSK zip has added to his system. If someone knows enough to use a custom recovery to make nadroid backups and installing "flashable zips", it is really not much harder to use it to browse directories and delete stuff.

Besides, if users don't know how to find out what a flashable zip adds or does to their systems, I believe that

it is the responsibility of the 'advanced guys' to help and encourage them to learn how to do so before they even flash any other zip.

Too much info? Yeah, maybe mentioning undo-zips was a little over the board, but it's still the natural 'next step' after learning what flashable zips do and the word "old school" then reminded me some old zip flashing nightmares which forced me to learn on my own (and the hard way) how to make undo-zips. I can only wish that someone had given me too much information on the subject at the time...

>> Why suggest more advanced steps if nandroid is just fine?

Because it is just that: "just fine". It takes a long time to perform and even with a day old backup, it is more than likely that user apps/games data that will be lost in the process. Only deleting what was added by the zip on the other hand is faster and most importantly, it leaves all of the other data intact.

>>Appreciate you helping but this post didn't help anyone, just frustrated things. Hope you understand.

I did understand all that fast enough -thank you. And I'm sorry that my original post caused any frustration to anyone and it is very regrettable that there is so much blatant trolling in these forum threads. It is no surprise that misunderstandings arise from time to time. It is also normal human nature to be on the defensive online and

frustration is often a ill side-effect on both parts. Sometimes this could be avoided by writing less info yes; but sometimes also with more complete info as well. It's a hard balance to reach when trying to be helpful with a post in a concise way.

But I think that [MENTION=3986748]shinesthru[/MENTION] and I handled it properly after all and that there might be still some good lessons to learn from the adventure - may it be just for myself - or not...

PS: xda is (or was) a developer site where people are encouraged to share their knowledge in order to bring casual users more informed and involved - at least just past the state of simply and blindly flashing zips..

I apologize if this has been asked before,feeling a little lazy today but I've noticed sk lags when I'm about to use an emoji. The typing is fast but when I long press for emojis to come up it takes roughly like 2 seconds for them to pop up. Anyone have a fix or idea about this?
[Android Themes] kunal1540:
I think and most of people would agree with me on this that this issue has nothing to do with theming and it's an issue with the keyboard per se unless you have tested official swiftkey and it works flawlessly,

Report this issue to swiftkey would be my advice..
[Android Themes] Still_living714:
true just thought I would ask to see if anybody had the same problem.
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
I've noticed a little lag when switching to emoji as well but i don't use emoji enough to be concerned about it. For me i have too much customization with ROM, CM theme, themed swiftkey, and any other mod to disable or change everything to troubleshoot. I did notice the lag a few updates ago...

Change font color?

I love the Super SwiftKey themes, especially the Shields themes. I am having one issue, the blue font on grey background for predictive text is very difficult for me to read. Even when wearing my glasses. Would love to see a darker font if possible. Regardless, these are exceptionally great themes. Thanks for your work.
[Android Themes] [] AL []:
Hi mocsab,

thanks for your comment, I'm glad you like the themes.

Unfortunately, I will not change the candidates (predicted text) color as it works for me and I see no point of adding another theme to SSK for just that small change.

But you can easily change that color by editing the highlighted text on my screeshot in the theme's (4) style.json files.

I won't write every step to do so here again. But if you need help with this, just search the thread or ask and someone will help you out in sure.

Cheers
[Android Themes] mocsab:
I can't expect or ask you to do any more than you have done - your tips here should be helpful - the steps I need to take to change fonts are a bit beyond me but I will push myself to learn (if I can) and If I can;t will learn to deal with it. Frankly the light blue on gray font has always been an issue for me (and a few of my friends who I turned on to your apk) but I just chose another theme to get around it. the compelling look of the shields theme is enough for me to try to figure out how to change the font - so thanks for the tip and especially for the APK.

windows phone theme? I have searched for the windows theme but ddnt find it. Which name does it go by?
[Android Themes] marquimsp:
Hello, I don't know if this has been answered before, I searched but couldn't find an answer.

Is there a way to install a single theme? I only use Sonny's Minimal Red, that's it.

Thanks in advance!

ps: I know I can mod the apk, I was wondering if it's possible to have an apk or zip of the individual themes separately, so I don't need to mod the original apk everytime there's an update.
[Android Themes] erikalin:
It will take you about one minute but yes, you have to do this yourself, my friend. Check it out. There's like 200 themes and they already have to build 4 versions of SSK now for everyone. To make "an apk of an individual theme separately" as you say, would mean they'd build 800 apps. Every update.

Delete all but the theme you like, sign and install, and thank 'em for this. :)
[Android Themes] [] AL []:
You mean something like this (pic)?

OK, I was not serious about this, but I thought it was worth sharing that new 1-hand typing friendly kb design from M$... <dubbed as the sextext-friendly as well... >

[Android Themes] gimpy1:
Thx, joker. ☺️. Got it now. But, I don't think it looks anything like the actual key board. I guess that is how/why I was missing it. I guess I need better glasses ?

[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
I looked into this originally before doing apk's, unfortunately they have the files installed in a location you'll need root access to apply and is very unsecure. Also on reboot the files were removing themselves. Top much headache. Since apk installs don't need root and less issues and hand holding needed we did apk. Make sense?
[Android Themes] gimpy1:
This morning I had to uninstall SwiftKey, then reinstall it to get it to work properly. I'm not sure what happened to make it malfunction? I could not get it to use the "flow" part. But it is working properly now.

As you can see it shows prediction not available and check SD card?

I did do a nightly update last night, but I've never had that error before.
[Android Themes] [] AL []:
I've seen cases where my predictions were gone too; simply check if the English (default) language pack doesn't need an update by any chance. Make sure SK has internet access and is not firewalled.

If not, maybe the storage permission if you're on MM. But I've just tried to download a third language pack with it set to off and it still downloaded and installed fine...

I've never seen the 'check sd' part before.

[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Hold off Something went wrong with the uploads

EDIT: Never mind I just didn't have it fully downloaded...BUT if you are on LP M or N and it fails install you'll need to uninstall the old apk then install the new....They change the certificates from LP MM and N to the old one due to making it cross api. The MM-N arm64 version will install just fine over the old.

[Android Themes] j2cool2012:
Can I just say, these themes are amazing. Way better than the stock ones.
[Android Themes] sonnysekhon:
OP updated with new files. They should work with the new Swiftkey updates.
[Android Themes] Jeremysoftbeard:
I believe I liked the colors more before.
[Android Themes] nachomaster:
how do I change the color of these fonts? Can't seem to find it. Thanks!
[Android Themes] HiDEFF:
[MENTION=2847101]sonnysekhon[/MENTION] I'm having trouble with step 2.

What's the theme zip we downloaded? Is it the apk I extracted from my phone--which I had to turn into a .zip in order to edit the apk. Or is it the one listed in OP and if so, which zip?

Thank you in advance! I'm still new to all this so I'm learning on the fly.
[Android Themes] nachomaster:
The theme zip is the one with the drawable folders! Just drag those folders into the res folder inside the swiftkey apk. then sign the apk.
[Android Themes] HiDEFF:
Am I doing the right thing in changing the swiftkey extension from .apk to .zip so I can edit the apk? And do I have to rename the "your_app_signed.apk?"
[Android Themes] Jeremysoftbeard:
If you're using 7zip you don't have to change the extension to zip. And you shouldn't have to rename the apk file itself.

[Android Themes] sonnysekhon:
You guys have to decompile and recompile using Apktool to get the same colors as seen in the screenshots in the OP,
[Android Themes] iTzGavin96:
i found the best way to do it what just make a titanium backup and then sync the backup file to google drive and then find the com.touchtype.zip on your pc and extract the apk from that zip. im working on a video tutorial on how to do everything on this but i am at my own delimma as i am constantly getting an error has occured please view the log (option 23) and i have no idea why
[Android Themes] thefoss:
My problem is I'm in a MAC, and don't know how to get the apk to aopen without a pc
[Android Themes] iTzGavin96:
apkmultitool.com

download that, place the swiftkey apk file in the folder that says place apk here for modding, run the script file name, then select decompile apk (i forget which number option it is, but let that run then go back to the little folder named project and your decompiled apk is there, then replace the files as directed. the instructions provided by the op are really shoddy, and im getting errors left and right
[Android Themes] PhilDX:
the instructions in the OP are not "shoddy". the purpose of this thread is for Sonny to share the resources that he prepared with folks in the community, it is not to provide a tutorial for using APKtool. there are plenty of threads with excellent step by step instructions for doing that. one example is below. it will take some investment of your time to get APKtool working in your computer environment, but once you do, you can begin to explore all sorts of possibilities for modding android apps to your liking.

Sonny doesn't have to share his work here, so lets be grateful that he does.

I'd have to get a refresher course by re-reading the first post of the thread (OP) again, but I'm pretty sure that somwhere on there it is stated clearly that the SSK project is a theme [designing] one; not an apk modding or hacking one.

So the answer of all your questions is no, it won't happen.

[Android Themes] h1ghland3r:
I always need to flash the ZIP file. I dont know why I can't install the apk.
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
If Swiftkey comes stock on your device then it's a system app... the zip must be used unless you remove every single instance on Swiftkey stock from your device. Otherwise the apk will install as long as your using the correct apk as well.

I've installed this on so many non rooted devices in the past year over 100 easy... no issues! Only issues were stock system versions I had to root just to remove... Then unroot so they didn't freak out. So if your using zips and don't know why look to see if this is your issue... Search the entire system for Swiftkey. Delete EVERYTHING reboot then it should be fine.

DJ
[Android Themes] h1ghland3r:
SwiftKey was never a stock app on Motorola devices. =/
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
OK?
[Android Themes] h1ghland3r:
??

Anyway, it's not so annoying to flash the ZIP.
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
I didn't quote anyone because it was a general statement. Not sure why you needed to reply with that but you can still have parts of Swiftkey on your phone blocking installation.
[Android Themes] [] AL []:
I have a MotoX also, and I've never had a problem with the apks...

Without a clear description of steps taken, error message received, config info (rom, device: your X is a 1st, 2nd or third gen?...) and most importantly a system log, we could go on like that for a long time...

I really don't mind helping out whenever I can, but please help us to help you [and this addressed "at large" - not just to you); it's not fair that we always have to ask more than what we receive.
[Android Themes] h1ghland3r:
It's a X 1st Gen. It started some previous releases ago and I needed to start flashing the ZIP.

But anyway, it's not so annoying. Don't mind, I just commented.

[Android Themes] chusto:
Yes, I have had other previous versions. I uninstalled and again I can not install and appears message "has stopped installer package." Thank you
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Oh that's most likely because of the size of the apk. Zip is the only option in this case. Might have been after adding the last themes. I think we are done making it bigger now. Lol
[Android Themes] baconman:

Yo!

Question for you: could you share one of your keyboard's base_key here?

You could just paste the text of it if it's a xml file or attach it if it's a .9.png.

Maybe one from the all grey keyboard - the one on which we can the letters on the ss.

I (we all) could then have a look at it and try to come back to you with a trick or two on how to use paddings ..so that upper characters don't go out of the surface of the keys.

Deal ?!?
