Excellent keyboard, really well done! Thank you for making it.

Could you please post where the Personal Dictionary entries are being stored?

On rooted phones, it would be nice to have access to that file so that we can both back it up and more importantly copy/paste entries into it.

We already have custom dictionaries used by other programs, it would take hours or days to individually enter each custom dictionary entry... copy/pasting all the words using a text editor would resolve this problem if there is a file that stores Personal Dictionary entries... so is there a file that contains them and if so where is it?
[Android Apps and Games] finneko:
IIRC, I have asked this earlier, without answer :(
[Android Apps and Games] c627627:
Importing/Exporting custom dictionaries through a file which can be edited in a Text Editor, would be such a big deal, that the author could advertize this as a program feature which, as far as I'm aware, no other keyboard app has... I hope he at least gives us an answer about where these entries are stored, and maybe we can figure out how to insert our custom words in there somehow...
[Android Apps and Games] c627627:
Is there a way to add NextApp shortcut to the drawer?

This may make it possible to use NetxApp Keyboard under Ultra Power Saving Mode through the use of apps which add drawer apps to UPSM menu.

Can this option be made, to have a drawer shortcut for NextApp keyboard?
[Android Apps and Games] dan0s:
I have come across an issue with this keyboard when using droidedit.

It seems that no matter how much i try to push one of the numbers it just gives me a symbol. I.e pushing 9 results in ( and so on. Even if i switch to just numbers without the row i still get symbols.

Seems like a very cool concept and i like it.

Also If tab could be added to the landscape view that would also be great.

Thanks for the great work.

EDIT

seems it might be an issue with droidedit.

Also would it be possible to implement swipe from delete button left to remove the last word? That is probably my favorite feature out of any keyboard.
[Android Apps and Games] Darnell_Chat_TN:
And we're back to that time once again. The wish they were "paid" features will expire in less than 10 days. Can the product go to general release or extended for 90 days? Cause this beta program is heading for 2 years at present pace.
[Android Apps and Games] iXNyNe:
[MENTION=2954544]tliebeck[/MENTION] I'm pretty sure most people keeping up with this thread would pay for a permanent pro version even if you considered it incomplete or permanent beta. You wouldn't be the first dev to have paid features in a beta app.

Plus at this point Google practically gives away money to the end users with the opinions/rewards app and we can't do anything with it other than buy things from Google play, but if we're buying from you then at least you get some of the free Google money.
[Android Apps and Games] nyomidev:
This app is awesome! Will come in very useful for me on my Nexus 10. Do you have any plans on releasing a material design theme?
[Android Apps and Games] Darnell_Chat_TN:
The OP just released an update for File Explorer FX. I hope this frees up his time to make a general release for this keyboard. Things expire in less than 48 hours.
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
Best we can hope for is another extension,have tried contacting him a couple of times, we have all asked for a donate version and got no response :(

tapatyping fae the bacon
[Android Apps and Games] Darnell_Chat_TN:
At least the time before expiration was greater last time. Best case, this over year long "beta" ends this week. But if continuing, the expiration needs to remain long.
[Android Apps and Games] finneko:
I really do not understand this short expiration mode, especially when program development seems to have ceased. I really want to longer expiration time or possibility to buy it immediately. Why it so hard?
[Android Apps and Games] iXNyNe:
[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION] I don't disagree that for us as the users it is a bit frustrating to have the app expire often, but this app follows the same beta model that FX followed (with less frequent updates).

The Dev made the app probably for personal use, and released it because it's helpful to others, so why not?

Just keep in mind that all devs have lives and priorities outside making things for us to use.
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
Oh look its expired

tapatyping fae the bacon
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Expiration extension uploaded to playstore and also available here: http://android.nextapp.com/keyboard/r94/NAK_r94.apk
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
Thanks mate any comment on the long term plan ?
[Android Apps and Games] Darnell_Chat_TN:
We all respect that. And most betas don't run well over a year. So this is exceptional and if the Dev has no intentions to make this General Release, that should be stated for clarity to over a year's worth of users. The Dev said it would be getting a General Release some time ago. I'm not going to guess at what the Dev intends, I only know what was stated by the Developer.
[Android Apps and Games] digiowl:
The keyboard has an odd niggle regarding the numbers row and the fn keyboards.

Upon first entering without a numbers row showing, there is no F-key cluster shown. But tapping the swap button result in said cluster showing up, and a second tap is needed to reach the Ctrl keyboard.
[Android Apps and Games] nick_white:
Is development dead?
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
[MENTION=2954544]tliebeck[/MENTION] keyboard expired again
[Android Apps and Games] finneko:
What we can think about project where only updates are that beta expiry date is moved forward? I'm not saying that project are dead but...

I'm quite happy with original Swype (+Dragon, what ever it is :) ) but I hope some progression with this keyboard.
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
It may not be dead but is definitely in hibernation, not even a beta extension this time round
[Android Apps and Games] sordna:
I don't use themes so in don't even notice these expirations. Best keyboard by far.
[Android Apps and Games] finneko:
It's nice to you that you like this keyboard, but that was not topic. :) It was is there any progress at all in this project or is it dead. I think there is work to do and it is not completely ready yet. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Darnell_Chat_TN:
The greatest keyboard ever, never made it out of beta [emoji1] .

I have supported the developer via his other paid projects/apps. This keyboard even helped me discover some of them. Since they consumed the Dev's time.

It's just a shame this app never left beta.
[Android Apps and Games] dd043:
I'm still using the keyboard despite the expired beta because it works great, but without the proper theme I do a lot more typing errors because the keys are smaller. Annoying, but I didn't find a better alternative yet.

[MENTION=2954544]tliebeck[/MENTION]: Don't do like Kii did: abandon the software and, while the apk is still out there, the pro features will never be accessible by anyone again because of artificial limitations. If you abandon it, please push one last unlocked apk! Otherwise your work just goes to waste and people won't benefit from it, which is the point of developing things isn't it?
[Android Apps and Games] wrbird:
Assign Function Keys Shortcuts

First off, thank you for a great keyboard!

Does anyone know if you can assign the function keys a shortcut? For example, I'm regularly in the Fn layout using the cursor keys and delete keys. Then I have to go out to the punctuation layout to use the parentheses keys then go back to the Fn layout. It would be so nice to assign the F1 through F12 keys for common keys so I don't have to keep switching layouts. If I could assign an open parenthesis to F1 and a close parenthesis to F2 that would save me a lot of time switching back and forth between layouts.
[Android Apps and Games] MH-Vijay:
link is not working, can you upload library again ? :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] TechnoSparks:
Lol development is so disappointing that I have finally able to move on.

Goodbye advanced features. May you return..
[Android Apps and Games] finneko:
What developement? Is there any? :D
[Android Apps and Games] numbere:
IMO this is still the best keyboard available. Its unfortunate that development has stopped and we no longer have access to themes

The link below contains typing libraries for those of you interested in using gesture typing.

[Android Apps and Games] mathuaerknedam:
This is great, add me to the pile of those who'd pay.

Are there ANY still-maintained keyboards with terminal-friendly features?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Just wanted to say thanks for all of the work. (I'd pay! I would!) I will probably be using this until it can not be used any more. :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] Old faithful:
A quick question for the developer if I may, since looking for an answer on such a long thread is almost impossible.... I LOVE this keyboard and it would be my only one

if

the layout could be made

independent of the chosen language

. As it stands, it is only effective if your main language is English.

Let me explain... When using the PC Keyboard Layout (the only usable one in my opinion, heck I've only been typing on a PC keyboard for 30 years), why is it that it only works with English selected as a Language? When I try to switch to another language, it automatically reverts to the vastly inferior android-style keyboard... Without arrow keys and keyboard shortcuts, how can anyone work effectively?

I also noticed that word prediction, completion and correction is much less effective (when available - Like previously stated the PC layout is English Only) than what the current Google Keyboard offers (and is a must have on such an ineffective keyboard layout). would it be possible to separate the LAYOUT from the other functions to have the best of both worlds, a fixed layout choice independent of language choice and autocorrect/predictive text engines?

I am simply hoping that one day I will one day be able to work with my tablet like I am able to with my computer.
[Android Apps and Games] BearHappens:
Good work, I'll give this a try.
[Android Apps and Games] finneko:
Good for you! :) Soon you ask some features and then you just wait... wait... until you notice that project seems to be dead.
[Android Apps and Games] Eun-Hjzjined:
Yeah. It's a shame.

But with so many other keyboard options, and his other apps, it's understandable why it died.

Too bad, because this was one of the better options, despite the constant expiry nags.

Greatest android keyboard! still the champ

hi just wanted to say ty very much, also I wanna pay for the extra features how to do?
[Android Apps and Games] sordna:
This is the best keyboard android has ever seen, even without the paid features.

Love it!
[Android Apps and Games] goister:
A few questions:

1. I'm unable to get input working. If I understand it correctly, I need to install a library. Where do I get this library? I have a Google Pixel

2. Is it just me or does the list of input languages not include Chinese?
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Updating this project after a long hiatus.

This app is now entirely free, there will be no paid version. Themes are free, precision vibration feedback is free. The only "revenue" potential for this app are now a pair of links at the top of the settings to FX File Explorer and SystemPanel2. These are not ads, they are hardcoded links to those two apps. This app DOES NOT send/download anything over the internet, with the exception of dictionaries, and only then at the user's direct request.

Additionally, the following enhancements have been made:

Long pressing the space bar sends a tab key. This can be disabled in the settings, if you'd prefer to have space-long-press be an input method switcher.

Added option to automatically switch to "PC Layout" when in landscape mode.

Renaming project to "Technical Keyboard".

Updated version is here:

http://android.nextapp.com/keyboard/r97/TechnicalKeyboard_r97.apk

Will roll out to play store after additional testing.

[MENTION=2954544]tliebeck[/MENTION]

I've noticed one minor issue. Key pop-ups seem to be cut off at the bottom in most themes.

Also, would it be possible to enable multilingual suggestions as for example in Gboard, please?

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Not able to see the key pop-up cutoff...are you running larger-than-standard fonts? You can reduce the font size of the keyboard.

When you say multilingual suggestions...do you mean for multiple languages at once?
[Android Apps and Games] springer.music:
I tried with different font sizes with the same result.

Please find attached a screenshot.

Yes, like the latest Gboard, Chrooma and similar keyboards. The word suggestions only come from the languages selected in settings.
[Android Apps and Games] nlra:
That is extemely generous! Thanks so much!!

Is it possible for users to make their own themes for this keyboard?

-- Nathan
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
Just trying keyboard, and getting the hang of all the settings.

Great work.

A couple of things I noticed:

PC layout setting does not persist, when switching to and from another input method or when changing settings such as adding more languages, you always have to reenable PC layout setting:

Advanced setting Switch to other input method checkbox does not work, as I have it disabled/unchecked and still clicking on language button switches input method, (which brings me back to first issue as I have to reslect PC layout).

Unchecked:

Switches to other input method:

Is it possible to have Suggestions added to Orientation layout, (where we are able to select % for size like top row). Also, setting translucency of background would be nice, as of does not match theme and blocks screen space so ability to set translucency would be good.

Which add-on dictionaries are supported?

Currently, there are 6 already installed with the option to delete, but how to add?
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
A few more observations:

Tab key is missing on PC layout, a black space appears in its place:

Is it possible to have the shaded hidden character hints on top right corner, example the symbols on number key and the ? on / key:

Is there a way to import/create themes?
[Android Apps and Games] x7i7l:
For anyone who is interested I found the typing library in here: pa_gapps-stock-4.4.4-20150410-signed.zip

You will have to search for it because i can't post links yet.

The name of the file is libjni_latinime.so
[Android Apps and Games] mybabyloves:
Here's the link for where I got it: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934553345 (to make it easier) :)

Just fyi, there are two libjni_latinime.so files in here. Get the one from [Extracted Folder Name]\Core\required\lib. If you get the one from [Extracted Folder Name]\GApps\keyboardgoogle\lib it WILL crash your keyboard every time you try to swipe! Just a warning, I had to reinstall the typing library 3 times before I figured that out...
[Android Apps and Games] Lascaille:
Hi Tod,

Thanks for the great work on this keyboard, I think I've been using it since having a Galaxy S2 and really can't deal with anything else.

I've just come across one issue which doesn't actually seem to be the fault of the keyboard, but is either due to Chrome or some crappy javascript and happens to only show up for this keyboard and not Gboard.

A vbulletin website I use has updated and now has some weird stuff going on with their 'post' and 'reply' fields. For example, if you make a 'new post' and enter a single newline (press enter) you then have to press backspace six times to delete the newline character, however 'select all' shows that the text field contains only one single newline...

On that website if you want to delete a bunch of text using gboard you just hold down backspace and the characters are erased as usual.

If you do the same in nextapp you find text being re-added and deleted, re-added and deleted - like, if you're backspacing through the word 'excellence' you may find the next press of the backspace key inserts the entire word minus the last letter. Basically, whatever is in the 'suggestion' window may get inserted when you press backspace.

From playing around it I am coming to understand how the android keyboard system works, the keyboard receives the full contents of the text field from the app? So if the app then changes the text field itself (i.e. due to javascript) there is a period during which changes made by the keyboard will be lost, because the keyboard will be sent a new field... right? That's what seems to be happening anyway.

Gboard seems to avoid issues by not updating the 'suggestions' field with backspace held down.

I don't think this is really your bug to solve, but if performance would be improved by following the gboard lead and not updating suggestions and re-polling the text field while backspacing, that might be worth doing?

Thank you for this post! Helped me immensely. Not sure why it is not part of the app desc posts.

Just in case anyone comes across this thread in 2021 and needs the typing library to enable gesture typing here you go.

And just in case something happens to the attachment here is a mega link libjni_latinime.zip
[Android Apps and Games] GeePoosh:
Hi, could you please add emoji feature to this keyboard? This is the only fluently working keyboard for me as a totally blind user using Talkback in Samsung M11 android 11, with the latest keyboard. I would really appreciate it... Thank you very much...
[Android Apps and Games] njank:
Many thanks for the easy download. Just forced to upgrade from one cheap moto to another (thanks AT&T), and even in 2022 on Android 11 this is still my favorite keyboard. of course it gives the "this was made for an older version of android" warning, but it seems to work fine.

Now, anyone know how to transfer whatever file contains the autocorrect suggestion history? Old phone acted fine, new phone now barely offers any suggestions and i checked all the settings are the same between the two phones.
[Android Apps and Games] Eun-Hjzjined:
And it's missing the gesture typing. I'm actually surprised/disappointed he hasn't done anything with that yet.

Very Nice Keyboard :)
[Android Apps and Games] UnitedOceanic:
Really love this so far.

I installed the lib for gesture typing.

But it only works with English so far. Hopefully this will change in the future. The other thing I really like to see is the Hungarian and German dictionary.
[Android Apps and Games] ari2asem:
Wow. This keybord is awesome. I even can type sms in my own alphabet, in armenian. Nice and thanks. And this as example in armenian alphabet, saying thank u....շնորհակալություն
[Android Apps and Games] Cintulek:
Hi there!

Very nice app, but I have a question for you: Is there any chance to add a different dictionaries to that keyboard, for example dictionary which I have in SWYPE Keyboard? I really love the AOSP keyboard layout, but in my language (Polish) there is very little words...

Is there any chance to port this dictionaries from SWYPE or SWIFTKEY to your app?
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Apologies for this, non-English dictionary support in this version is missing/broken. The additional built-in dictionaries were removed and need to be added back. This will raise the size of the APK from 3.5 to 15MiB, but that is similar to other keyboard apps.

Does Hungarian have a dictionary available for the AOSP keyboard?
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
I think this is a bit beyond my realm of expertise. I'm guessing that would be a binary file conversion, and it'd have to be a process that could be run by the user (who owned Swype/Swiftkey and had them installed, as I of course wouldn't be allowed to distribute their dictionaries).
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
I need to look into the emoji stuff, I'm a bit out of touch with it works (bear in mind this keyboard is a derivative of AOSP, so I'm just using the stock emoji code, unchanged).

And on a somewhat different subject, I did notice that both of those have gesture typing support, built-right-in. They're clearly AOSP Keyboard derivatives using the Google Keyboard's shared library. Anyone know if Google has ever specifically authorized that library to be distributed? I totally understand that most people simply just "go for it" and am not about to give anyone grief about it. I've always been very concerned with making certain I have the right to distribute everything included in my own software, though I would love to do this as well if Google specifically allows it.
[Android Apps and Games] UnitedOceanic:
Thank you for this. Is is really nice to use the terminal with this keyboard. Don't get me wrong hacker's keyboard is good but not really made for phones.

This is the one from the carbon-rom aosp keyboard.
[Android Apps and Games] retiredtrebor:
Thanks, found the voice input key option and turned it off. Now I have my comma back, where it belongs. Much more useful than the voice input.
[Android Apps and Games] droopyar:
multilingual and opensource

Hi,

I am interested in adding more languages to this keyboard such as spanish, french, bulgarian, etc.

Where are the language packs??

Also, is this keyboard opensource?? As i am interested on adding my own fixes on code.

regards.
[Android Apps and Games] SDV_Nolast:
Looks very interesting, think I'll give this a try. The function keys are mainly what I need
[Android Apps and Games] Darnell_Chat_TN:
I see the voice input option checked and would like to use voice input. But there is no mic on my keyboard, it has the comma instead.

My Google Search app is current. I have an HTC One running stock GPE Android 4.4.2.

I've tried to uncheck and recheck the option, but that did not help. Rebooting also does not help.

Has this been tested on 4.4.2? Does anyone with an HTC One running GPE 4.4.2 have the mic?
[Android Apps and Games] Publiuss:
Hi

This keyboard is very nice!

But I've an issue, i see no suggestions while I type, just the word i'm typing :(. I use italian language.

My system is samsung s2plus 4.2.2 stock.
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Sorry about this, non-English language support is currently missing/broken (it's the current top priority to fix).
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Does the AOSP keyboard or Google keyboard show the microphone? Normally the checkbox in settings shouldn't even be available if voice typing isn't supported.
[Android Apps and Games] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Well here's something interesting. I have Google keyboard and it shows the mic. But when I press that key, the mic won't work.

I have been using Perfect Keyboard Pro for months and the mic key works as it should when using it.

I tested uninstalling Perfect Keyboard, but that didn't change things with Google keyboard or this keyboard.
[Android Apps and Games] Dhiraj:
Where can I get typing library?
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
One more idea....is Google Search installed and up-to-date?
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
The Google gesture typing library is distributed by Google with their version of the AOSP keyboard. If you have a modern Nexus device, it's commonly in /system/lib, otherwise it's embedded in the Google Keyboard APK. Typically has a name along the lines of libjni_latinime_google.so.
