Is there a way to get this to work with an AOSP KitKat Rom on my S3 I747? The application manager doesn't have an option to uninstall the Google keyboard, but I did so via Titanium. However, the Shaftamle Keyboard still won't install. Just curious. Nice looking themes. Thanks.
[Android Themes] vmancini3:
This is directly from the OP...

1)*UNINSTALL ALL*Google, Android, AOSP and Shaftamle keyboards. Titanium Backup or ROM Toolbox works great for this.

2) Open your root browser. Search through the following folders for anything named: com.google.android.inputmethod.latin-1 OR com.google.android.inputmethod.latin-2 and delete them.

The folders to look in are:

/data/app/

/data/app-lib/

/system/app/

/system/lib/

3) Now that you have deleted any leftover duplicates you should not have any problems installing*Shaftamle Keyboards, so give it a shot!*

Please, If you do not understand or need any extra help, please PM me!*I would hate for someone to mess something up on their phone because they did not understand the instructions. Enjoy!!

Hopefully this helps....if not, I know [MENTION=4939520]Shaftamle[/MENTION] is a good guy and will definitely help you get it straightened out!
[Android Themes] sbs8331:
I guess I wasn't clear. I did all that. Uninstalled via Titanium and checked those directories. Tried installation of apk and also flashing zip of older version (newer one not available in zip). Apk won't install, and zip flashing doesn't install it either. All I end up doing is losing my current keyboard, so restoring my rom backup. Not a big deal, just thought the keyboards looked nice and would like to use one. Thanks.
[Android Themes] vmancini3:
Ok...after you restore your ROM from your backup...what keyboards do you see listed under Language and Input settings?

Also...you said you're running an AOSP ROM, which means you probably had to flash a Gapps package right? If that's the case, then there might actually be some other files that need to be deleted that you may have overlooked....is it possible you can tell me exactly what Gapps package you flashed and also maybe provide a link to it?....so maybe i can scan through the package and tell you what you may have missed.

One last thing, if we still can't solve it after that, you may just want to PM [MENTION=4939520]Shaftamle[/MENTION], because I really don't want to continue to clog up the thread! Sorry...:(
[Android Themes] sbs8331:
The restore brings back the keyboard that's installed with the Rom (in my case, SlimKat): Android Keyboard (AOSP) and Google voice typing. Titanium identifies the former as com.android.inputmethod.latin. It works just as it did prior to trying to install one of these themes.
[Android Themes] vmancini3:
Look in /system/lib and see if you can find "libjni_latinime.so"....if you see that file, delete it, then reboot, then try to install any of the Shafta keyboards....only do what I just mentioned after deleting everything else the way you already did of course..if that doesn't work, then I'm very sorry, you'll have to message Shaftamle...
[Android Themes] sbs8331:
By George, that worked! I uninstalled the keyboard via Titanium, deleted the file above, then installed the apk. I'm good to go. Many thanks!
[Android Themes] vmancini3:
Glad I could help!!! Just know that as long as that was a Shaftamle 5.0 keyboard you installed, which I'm sure it was, that now you can install any other Shaftamle keyboard right on top without having to do anything else....Android sees it as an upgrade and will preserve any data/settings!
[Android Themes] Shaftamle:

No problem. It was by no means an emergency, just playing around a bit. The blue keyboard looks really good, though the blue-on-black correction suggestions are a little hard to read. Now that I have it going, I may play around with some different colors. Lots of variety here. Thanks.
[Android Themes] Shaftamle:
[MENTION=5090422]vmancini3[/MENTION] also mentioned the same. I changed it up a little so we will see how it looks. The modified version should be out in a day or 2.

Cool. I'll be on the lookout. If you think about it and have a chance, a notice on the thread in the AT&T S3 section would be helpful, but not necessary. Thanks.

[MENTION=4939520]Shaftamle[/MENTION] Idk what the bug was, but finally got the 5.0 keyboard to install, had to uninstall Android CM11 Stock Keyboard, and reboot and she installed instantly. =/

However the 4.0 apk you could install all day long.
[Android Themes] Shaftamle:
Good to hear. I believe the reason for this is because with 4.0 and below, Shaftamle keyboard acted as an update to the Android/AOSP keyboards that CM11 comes with. Since I needed to change a line in the manifest to get them to compile correctly, they no longer install over older versions as an update. They install as a brand new version. Hence the reason for the uninstall. ;)

[Android Themes] gr33nd3vil:
Shaft, you need do Zips over Apks so it wipes that damn file for people =)
[Android Themes] sbs8331:
Not if you're willing to go through a few steps, like I did after some guidance here:

Download apk.

Delete current keyboard (via Titanium).

Use rooted file manager to go to /system/lib and delete "libjni_latinime.so".

In same file manager, go to folder with apk and install.

Go to system settings, language & input, and make Google keyboard the default.

If I can do it, anyone can.
[Android Themes] gr33nd3vil:
I'm a dev, I understand the point of those steps... however why jump through hoops when a zip file can do it all with 2 clicks?
[Android Themes] sbs8331:
I'm not a dev, so I'll plead ignorance. Will a zip file delete an AOSP keyboard and replace with Google keyboard?
[Android Themes] gr33nd3vil:
if coded correctly, it can. From what I've played with, with gapp packages, he could have it go through and remove all keyboards and install his own. However, I would think if you took all the files out of the apk and extract them into correct folders it would over write whatever is old / wrong.
[Android Themes] sbs8331:
Obviously, you wouldn't want to overwrite the "Google voice typing". (Is that considered a "keyboard"?) Also, before going through the steps above, I tried flashing a zip of an older version of a Shaftamle theme, but that didn't work either. I assumed, after going through these steps, it might have something to do with my SlimKat default being the AOSP keyboard. Regardless, everything is copacetic now.

I wonder if it would be possible to develop similar themes that incorporate a "Note 2" style keyboard, with the number keys showing on the top row. There was a post containing some for deodexed Roms. Couldn't make them work. I'm happy with this though. Kudos to Shaftamle. :good:
[Android Themes] vmancini3:
Because the main point here is that rooters and non-rooters alike will ALL be able to enjoy the Shafta keyboards. Case in point...my wife has an s3 and absolutely hates the Samsung keyboard, so, her not wanting to root the phone, she had the ability to simply install the apk and voila, Google (Shafta) Keyboard!
[Android Themes] sbs8331:
Are there still users who don't root their phone? :confused: After playing around with mine and exploring this site, it's easy to forget that "rooters" are likely a pretty small minority. :D
[Android Themes] Shaftamle:
You would be surprised how many people don't even know how to install an app without using the play store let alone root their phone. ;)Not to mention rooting doesn't do jack if you don't know what to do with it. I would bet the number of rooted users world wide is under 15% with no problem.

[Android Themes] Shaftamle:
Three reason why they are not included. yet.

#1: Not everyone can use them. Everyone can use apk so that's my priority.

#2: If I have 33 keyboards, that means I have to make 33 updates when a new version hits. If I do zips as well, even though I don't have to rebuild the app for it. I do have to package them in zips, upload 33 more files and add 33 more links. Now every time I add a new one it essentially adds 2 since a zip and apk needs to be posted. Thus, jumping my workload from 33 to 66. Which leads to way to much time consumed on a hobby. Especially when......

#3: Anyone who knows enough about Android to root AND install custom recovery or safestrap should know enough to package their own zip using the provided apk if they so choose.

Anyone who does not will soon be able to learn in the main post under the zips section. That will be added shortly.

Required Lib Files for the Themed Keyboard.

Brother [MENTION=4939520]Shaftamle[/MENTION],

Its a great news for the lovers of this Themed keyboard. I don't know why still you aren't a Recognized Themer. Just speechless for your hard work. Its awesome and first time I included it in a Chinese ROM - "Cai OS v1.0.6".

SLT CaiRisma ROM

Rather just saying you thanks I will also like to inform you that the FC in the Keyboard is not because of the data or cache folders. Its all because of the necessary libs required for the keyboard.

So I am attaching the necessary lib in this post. do check with all users and let them try. If you find yourself satisfied with the reply you can add this lib files in OP. But yes user must have to delete old Google or AOSP keyboard and have to overwrite the lib files through mine.

I know its nothing in comparison to your hard work. But just wanted to help users to get this lovely keyboard in their handset.

Thanks for this marvelous work. Will be waiting for your new updates.
[Android Themes] c45h2012:
Were do I put lib files?
[Android Themes] :
It must be in system/lib folder and then fix permission then reboot. That's it and its done. But remember to delete older files and older apk.
[Android Themes] c45h2012:
For some reason whenever I uninstall Google keyboard with tibu it just comes back tried removing with root explorer in both system/app and data/app tried renaming to what the keyboard was named successfully removed asop keyboard but every time I reboot phone I get FCS until I reinstall themed keyboard quite annoying I put the libs in file still same probelm
[Android Themes] :
Didn't understand brother.

Could you please tell me in details. How that possible that if you remove a app through root explorer then how it can come back.

After copying Lib for have you set the permission to rw-r-r.

Try this and let me know.

[Android Themes] Shaftamle:
Just an FYI. Incase you didnt know. Google doesn't make this option very obvious by the way they name it. If you want the comma button back, similar to where it used to be, next to the ?123 button. All you have to do is simply uncheck the following box in keyboard settings. It will replace the microphone button with the comma button. Then, if you wish to use the microphone feature simply long press the comma button.

Tip for other geese as silly as me trying to install an APK:

Be sure to uninstall Google Keyboard before installing your Shafta Keyboard
[Android Themes] remotehugger:
Man these are flippin' awesome ! Is there any benefit to flashing as opposed to just installing the .apk ? And these are any rom compatible correct ?
[Android Themes] Shaftamle:
Yes, any ROM. The only benefit to flashing is its quicker after a ROM install and usually you don't need to uninstall your existing Google keyboard. Where as sometimes with the apks they won't install unless you uninstall any existing Google keyboard. The main reason for the apks is for people without root. They can install those files.

[Android Themes] remotehugger:
flashed a couple of these on my deodexed TW 4.1.2 rom and it made my phone pretty much un usable - reboots, horrible lag, and the keybpard waznt even themed - I tried the onyx then the blue zips and apk's but no luck - any advice ? could it be the resolution of my SGII ? I thought it was hdpi ?
[Android Themes] Shaftamle:
As of right now hdpi is not supported. The keyboards should still work but won't be themed. Try this,

The other way that you can fix it is to use a route browser. Go to /data/app and delete the Google keyboard apks. Its labeled: com.google.android.inputmethod.latin-1

Then go to /data/app-lib and delete the folder named: com.google.android.inputmethod.latin-1

If there are two of those folders in either placr that is more than likely the problem. The folder in app-lib is the library for the keyboard. Once you have deleted those folders, all of them, reboot recovery and flash it again or try the apk. Let me know what happens. I'm working on the HDPI builds and hope to have them out eventually. Hopefully doing this will fix the force closes at least.

[Android Themes] remotehugger:
in app- lib the only folder there is the com.google.android.inputmethod.latin-1 - should I still delete it ? And should I wipe cache/dalvik before trying to install the apk ?
[Android Themes] Shaftamle:
Yes. Delete all of them in both folders. When you install the app again it will reinstall both of them.

Sometimes, don't know why, even when you uninstall them they leave files behind. 9 times outta 10 that's what causes the lagging and the failed installs.

The wiping is up to you it doesn't make a whole lot of difference either way but it's good to be safe.

forgot: installing the apk did not put the folder back in app-lib - is that ok ?

Hey [MENTION=4939520]Shaftamle[/MENTION], while using your modded Google keyboard on my Nexus 7 2013, I have found some small design bugs. It only occurs when I switch to landscape.

1. All bottom lines of the bottom keys are missing.

2. The globe and the emoji smiley are white. (Not a big issue though)

3. This is not really a bug but only bad color option. When I long press a key, secondary option keys will pop up, but because the font is red and the highlight color is red too, I can't really see the letters quite well.

I am using the crimson theme (red)

There is a screenshot below. I hope you can fix that and cheers!:D

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 7 mit Tapatalk
[Android Themes] Shaftamle:
Thanks for the feedback. To answer:

1) not sure about the lines. Never seen that before. Is it all of them or just crimson?

2) I'm in the process of fixing ALL keyboards to be fully themed as far as the emoji and other images that may appear unthemed.

3) the reason the backgroud is like that for the black and squared. Red on red has something to do with it. But its more because when I made those images I was still very new to gimp/Photoshop. As a result, I had some problems making those pngs semi transparent. They will also be updated in the future to be better visible.
