It's all good bro. I have ZERO problems with questions. It's was just the way you wrote it that made it seem a little rude. No biggie. Best believe when 3.1 hits the play store I will definitely be updating all of them. :thumbup:

The keyboard seems to be faster on ART. I'm guessing it's because that lets it compile ahead of time, while dalvik limits it to compile just in time. Since the new keyboard is based on the new art runtime, which can compile multiple ways for compatibility, I'm thinking the new art isn't as fast as dalvik at compiling just in time
[Android Themes] vmancini3:
Yeah....dalvik will soon be a thing of the past! Might even happen with Android L or whatever they're going to call it...
[Android Themes] Shaftamle:
This is just a guess but I have a pretty good feeling that the keyboard they just put out is nothing like what actually will come out. It just seems like they threw that together just for looks. It just seems way to little improvement for such an important feature on such a big release.

Keyboards should be a focal point. The only app you use more is your launcher. That's why I love doing this. Every time you use your phone it's Shaftamle!:p

[Android Themes] Shaftamle:
Even as far as the images in the actual appt go, its like they just swapped out PNG's didn't even bother remaining half of them. Still has gingerbread images that aren't even in use. There is no way to access the GB keyboard anymore. My guess?? Yeah, the material theme probly took its place.

Too true buddy. Every time I send a text or telegram or for anything! I look at my keyboard and think, thank god for great devs and themer's like shafta. I know so many android guys but they didn't bother to root and I feel sorry for them. To me, you don't have to actually own an iPhone to think like one.

[Android Themes] MA7MOOOD:
expired links..

Thanks a lot, I've been looking for this for a long time.. I'm using the holo blue old version of the keyboard Cuz the new layout is just impossible to get used to, especially in Arabic..

The links are expired, can you please reupload or tell me where can I get them, thanks in advance..

Also if it wasn't much trouble.. Is there any chance there's is an old version with the old layout but themes with the kitkat white theme?
[Android Themes] Shaftamle:
Yep. When the play store version is updated to the same version. I try to use that as the baseline. Also, I'm not sure if I will even be able to compile the new one yet. Been really busy this week and have not even tried it yet.

Android L Update

Ok, I've got a chance to mess with the Android L keyboard release a little bit. There is some good news and some really, really bad news.

The good news is, the keyboard will still compile and can still be themed.

The bad news:

It appears Google may be changing the way the keyboard is built. In simple terms, the Google keyboard uses .9 pngs for buttons and background layouts. Allowing maxium themeimg freedom to change the shape, texture and gradients in the apps buttons and backgrounds.

The new Android L keyboard includes that for the Blue and White color schemes, however the Material Theme is done COMPLETLY different. It uses XML's to control the button/background color.

What does this all mean? Well, nothing if the next playstore release is the same as the Android L release.

HOWEVER, if they choose to change the entire app to the method in which the material theme was built, it would essentially retire over half the themes on this thread. Pretty much the entire user submit section, Glass, Original and Squared.

I truly hope it doesn't come to this. That would really piss me off! Keep your fingers crossed that Google doesn't screw up another app!

I see no reason to update. Android l is like 15 steps back in my opinion. Material texture looks like crap, and the current KBS all work and look fantastic. If things continue the way they are going everyone will be using a Google iOS device. I think Google has finally copied apple perfectly and once again proven why apple is are the innovators and Google wishes it could keep up.

Thebe@r'$ G@L@XY
[Android Themes] vmancini3:
It's pretty sad but I think I know why they're going the route of XML instead of PNG's..... It seems (I've noticed this myself) that the PNG's are just simply so much more CPU intensive than XML. I've already tested out the Android L keyboard, and when the "material" layout is chosen the keyboard really is more responsive and there's a lot less lag! Which leads me to believe that it's not as much of a CPU hog....and this is with ANY of the keyboards that any of use have made! Less CPU usage = better battery life, that much I know has already been proven in the past! And if you consider that they plan on having the entire operating system and corresponding apps function in this way, then you could imagine what the end result will be!
[Android Themes] Elluel:
I'm pretty sure they'll just do away with the old themes completely instead of changing them to .XML :/

And do any future ones in XML too.

It's definitely for speed. Not sure how this will play out. Guess we will see.

Darn true dude, In my case the only upgrade google performed was ICS !!

ICS was darn awesome with it's lovely UI but as soon as it shifted to next android version.... It got worst and it's getting worst than ever, I miss good old days of having that lovely black UI on my galaxy note and now it's all grey... white etc !! Simply copying style of IOS is the new from google and android users will keep waiting for worst to come from google but only developers do know what's good and what's not.

I'm no code guy so figuring out the changes for # row is waaay above my pay scale. But being a wannabe Themer I found very easy to play with the pngs and color codes to theme the 2 KBS I shared. I'm probably the biggest noob on XDA. I'm 39 and got my 1st computer 2 years ago almost to the day. Following tutorials and befriending some knowledgeable people here on xda, i've learned more than if I went to school for this. I only shared those 2 because they match the theme I use. If anyone wanted different colors of mine I'd be happy to make it for them. Just pm the colors you want and I can easily modify my KBS to almost any colors. Except light. I refuse to make anything light themed. It just looks awful in my opinion and I won't have any of that. Lol. But thanks for all these great options and making it simple for any user, even a noob like me to create my own style.

[Android Themes] ShrekOpher:
First of all love the keyboards. Got one request though. Can you make a 240 DPI keyboard. One of the 123 ones preferably. I love the number row, but feel like it takes up alot of screen space. Can you smoosh it down? Not sure if it is possible just thought I'd ask.
[Android Themes] b3nji27:
Any chance of a green one? Like the hangouts shade of green? Would be nice too have a matching scheme ?
[Android Themes] Elluel:
If you change the DPI of the keyboard with Xposed the keyboard size stays the same, it'll only change the size of the corrections box, gesture trail and key popup lol
[Android Themes] vmancini3:
Changing the size of the entire keyboard is entirely possible, however.... [MENTION=4939520]Shaftamle[/MENTION] is aiming for one thing...continuity! In an effort to make sure that 99.9% of all users can enjoy his keyboards, certain things just have to be a certain way! For example, I have an S3 which is an xhdpi device, and while I made adjustments to XML code to shrink down the size of the keyboard for me, it doesn't necessarily mean that it will look or work correctly for everyone else! Hopefully this will clear some things up!
[Android Themes] Elluel:
He asked for changing the DPI, which does basically nothing, what you did was resize elements in the XML, that's different. :p
[Android Themes] vmancini3:
I know what I did and why it's different, and he doesn't realize what he's asking as well....changing the DPI and "smooshing" down the keyboard are 2 different things, which you just pointed out and what he mentioned in his post....which is why I decided to clarify why changing the size of the keyboard by WHATEVER method is something that [MENTION=4939520]Shaftamle[/MENTION] is most likely not going to do....but hey, I'll shut my trap for now and we'll see what he has to say about it.

I have a couple ideas. But I need to find out if they are possible. If they make the entire app based on XML themeing, Black, Ghost and AppleSauce would be OK.

So I would like all of your input as to which forum/section of XDA you think this thread would fit best in. Thanks for your support!!
