[MENTION=5257316]bejunk[/MENTION] can't reply u post directly so I post here. it's hard to say what bad happened after I flashed the zip file and reboot the cellphone, set the Xperia Chinese keyboard as the default keyboard. And start to try to test it, it FCs all the time at the beginning , so I open the play store and decided to find some logcat apps for so-called logcat file (not know exactly how to do that, never did that before), then I realized something abnormal, yeah, it's openning and working! :D it's just unbelievable ,tried several minutes and no more FCs, that's it!! IT DID REALLY WORKS ! !!

Two issues found , all about long press :

1 .long press to input the multikey values will turn the four bottom line of keyboard into unavailable grey and cannot be reversed ,unless restart the keyboard .

2.Longpress the switch key can make the keyboard FCs, here's the logfile :

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1HTZFhn9DbN-v4cVbQ1AQJpGE93ptA7KT

Perhaps u can fix it completely , thanks u, it really helps a lot! !!

Btw,I have no idea about what had happened at the beginnings ,u know , after so many times FCs, it finally works , does the app u ported can correct itself or sth?

Thank u,bro, once again!!

Hi,cant work on asus zenfone 2(z00ad) 7.1.2 XOSP

when i flash in TWRP show "Updater process ended with ERROR:255"

already try both zip:(
[Android Apps and Games] bejunk:
Hmm, currently im very busy, and normally the zip works.. FIX: please get a file explorer with root and follow the manual installation below. Also your device has an x86 based cpu. follow this, it will work for sure:

- extract contents of the zip file (normal version)

- in extracted folders look for the "libswiftkeysdk-java.so" file in system/app/textinput-tng/arm/ ; put/copy that file in system/lib/arm IN your phone

- after, delete the "arm" folder from extracted folders

- now copy the "textinput-tng" folder (which has the apk inside) to system/app IN your phone

- reboot, enable Keyboard in settings, done :)

Solution was posted before here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59585083&postcount=55 by billy.bong, so make sure you leave him a thanks :)

Hello [MENTION=5257316]bejunk[/MENTION],

I've flashed your zip but I don't like the default orange color.

I tried to find how to change it but without success =/

Could you help me / tell me how I can do that please ?

Thanks in advance

Even though that's not the modify it directly, I know one simple way: substratum themes. Not all themes but most of them will change it regarding to accent color.

Where can I actually send feedback to Sony for this keyboard?
[Android Apps and Games] baggord:
Google play? You can also check if they have a g+ group, they have one for Music (walkman) app.
[Android Apps and Games] bejunk:
Actually, with the new Sony phones (and software) Sony went full retard. Theres no more Xperia Keyboard, they replaced it completly with Swiftkey (why Sony, WHY?). Its the same Swiftkey app you can find on the Playstore (they just added the Themes from before & 1 slightly diffrent black one). That SwiftKey Keyboard is much more worse, its bloated, slow, they removed some functionality even when compared to this Xperia Keyboard. So, there will probably no more updates. :( So there's no reason to give fb to Sony. IMO i think Sony got really downhill both on the HW & SW side of their phones...

But what i planned for the future is:

- add a Magisk version of this Keyboard

- theme it a bit, especially the dark theme. But I need the (deodexed) Sony framework-res.apk & Semc-uxp-res.apk from same update as latest Keyboard to recompile it successfully. I have tried a bit around but had no success. I have exams rite now, so im a bit busy. But i will do it in the comming weeks :)

peace!
[Android Apps and Games] baggord:
[MENTION=5257316]bejunk[/MENTION] wat, sony replaced this with swifty keyboard? This is the keyboard I'm using since 2012. I used this keyboard with all non sony phones I had. Such retardness, really, this was the best keyboard in Android IMO. Still, I don't think the app needs an update. We can use this version as long as it's compatible with newer android versions. Bad news though.

Placed the apk in app folder and the.so file in arm folder.Still it won't show up in the choose keyboard list clicking on the apk gives the error error parsing package
[Android Apps and Games] lifehome:
I have just hard-copy the textinput-chn.apk into the system app path. However, it seems the error "INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES" blocking the app functioning, by any chance I can make it usable? It's a pain in the ass that I can't communicate in Chinese. (Hongkonger here)

EDIT: Managed to resign the apk, getting rid of the above error. But here comes the greatest question, I can only gather arm(32bit) libraries, none of the arm64 compatible libraries can be found anywhere...
[Android Apps and Games] bejunk:
Yeah.. really stupid move.. I was a Sony fan long time ago. They even had this developer support program which seemed promising. But they killed it with the behaiviour they showed to devs. On soooo many phones there was camera problems because they locked down the drivers or the were so deeply integrated into system that it was a pain in the ass getting the cam properly working.. not speaking about getting a decent quality on custom roms... I dont get it really. Than they choosed to use mtk chipsets on so many phones. NO-GO for me.

to the Keyboard, im fully with you. This is the best keyboard out there! Best feature is for me that it smartly recognized which language you write currently and you dont have to manually switch it. I write in 3 languages every day, so its a huge deal. I also find SwiftKeys word prediction is the best (XperiaKeyboard uses it). I tested diffrent Keyboards and even Gboard was way more worse at this, especially in my native language. Maybe for english lang its better... But i cant stand the bloated look and feel (and no way to disable it) of it, more over they collect your data what yiou type, in which app, etc: NO-GO.

What i may wanted to try is to look if i can update the SwiftKey lib for Xperia Keyboard. I think i will have a hard time finding a new one if this Keyboard stops working on latest Android.. But i guess that will not happen any time soon. Will try to fix it then for sure. Anyway, i guess its also time to save the language files. They will keep the server alive for 2 or 3 years still, for the old phones. But you'll never know, especially with Sony. They're mobile devision managment (the devs are great thru) should be fired completly IMO.

peace!

PS: i have my last exams end of the month. After it i will work on the stuff i mentioned. Maybe someone can test this app on P dev preview, im really curious if it works out of the box!

which rom? stock or custom? Which android version? You cant install it normally as its a system app... Does it show up in installed apps (you need to tick "show system")

EDIT: you maked sure you used the ARM or ARM64 version depending on your phone?

peace! :)

---------- Post added at 04:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 PM ----------

if want to change the sound where bro? ??
[Android Apps and Games] bejunk:
I dont know if it works, but you can try this:

- open the apk with 7zip (on pc)

- go to /res/raw , you should see the "keypress_sound" file

- rename your desired sound to the same name. Your file HAS to be in .wav format also

- now drag and drop your file into 7zip. Click yes on the popup.

- replace your apk in system with the modified one using a root explorer (set permissions) or better make a flashable zip

and hope it will work :D

If you get FC, try to clear app data of keyboard.

peace!

This keyboard is my only choice upon a long time.

Well, guys, we need a bit rework this thing and make a light mod, because it also have redudant, bloat components and network queries.

I give you some info, then sombody (a coder with good skills) may improve this baby and make it even more faster and more safe.

Xperia Keyboard™ v8.1.A.0.12

Using "MyAndroidTools" app I'm safely disable the next components (all Xperia's Settings still work for me):

SERVICES

AnalyticsService

NotificationDeletedService

PersonalizerService

RevocationBoundService

TestService

RECEIVERS

AnalyticsReceiver

ACTIVITY

BackupAndSyncAboutActivity

BackupAndSyncLoginActivity

CloudUserInteractionActivity

DebugActivity

GoogleApiActivity

PersonalizerLoginActivity

SignInHubActivity

UpgradeGuideActivityLarge

UpgradeGuideActivitySmall

-------------------------------------------------------------

In spite of disabling all of this, the next Network queries have been collected additionally

(updating of the language packs also has been disabled in the Settings):

Amazon.com, Inc -------- *.vie50.r.cloudfront.net

13.32.28.67:443

13.32.28.89:443

13.32.28.160:443

13.32.28.225:443

Amazon.com, Inc -------- *.fra56.r.cloudfront.net

13.32.222.70:443

13.32.222.175:443

13.32.222.251:443

13.32.222.252:443

---------------------

After updating the lagnguage packs you may also block regular queries (every time you open a keyboard) to:

*.swiftkey.net ----------- (skslm.swiftkey.net, etc.)

Ideally, it would be nice to kill this regular query to swiftkey.net, because it makes a huge lag when keyboard starting first time.

It not depends swiftkey.net was blocked or not, it produces this lag due to trying to connect.

Only laguage packs downloading should work via pressing a buttons by user in the Settings and nothing more.

Then keyboard will launch immidiately, w/o any lags.

Thank you! Xperia Keyboard is just the best.

Edit: I'm using LineageOS 15.1 on Xiaomi Mi6. The highlighted words are shown in orange - I cant find a option to change the color.

Is there anybody who can help?
[Android Apps and Games] bejunk:
Normally it should use system accent, so go into display settings and choose some accent for the system, keyboard should adapt it.. If it not helps the get some substratum theme like default dark (free) and only apply android system overlay (choose your accent). Should work 100% :)

Installation with any modification

Hi, I don't use any ROM or boot... Can I still use this keyboard? Or just with one of that, it will works? :confused::confused::confused: Thanks! :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] baggord:
You do have a boot partition and you are using a rom but a stock one I guess. Otherwise you would only see a black screen.

Anyway, you can still try this the zip file provided by OP, IF you have a custom recovery(like TWRP). You can't flash without one.
[Android Apps and Games] Kememm:
hum... well I'll try that. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] bejunk:
Tell me how i should theme this App!

Hey guys i made a simple substratum theme. I only use the dark mode & im would like to post apk here!

But 1st: What you would like to look light theme to look? I would theme the "Xperia theme" to match Apple Keyboard. But im unsure about the light theme.

2nd: Do you would prefer Material look (button outlines not visible) or with some button outlines.

Sorry for long time not posting anything, bad stuff happened & now i will go 2 weeks on holidays also the help my grandma... Moreover my main phone broke and now using good ol S3.

Note: the fuchsia accent color is from a substratum theme. Xperia Keyboard by default applies your System Accent:good:

Wish you all all the best, peace bejunk.
[Android Apps and Games] baggord:
Hi [MENTION=5257316]bejunk[/MENTION]!

I actually like the look of Xperia Keyboard (Dark one). This is the only keyboard I use for years. So, stock look is fine for me but themes may also be good. The ss you posted looks cool, button outlines should be visible.

Can't you add a color palette in your theme to let us try ?

Edit : you can also try lighter background with darker buttons. In you image the background is darker. Share more ss for different combinations, so we can compare IF you have time to do so.

Have a good holiday!
[Android Apps and Games] bejunk:
You can do it easily yourself :D on your Phone!

1. download the zip & extract

2. in /values/colors.xml -> edit it how you'd like to be (use turbo editor app at best)

3. get this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pddstudio.otgsubs

4. open OTG subs app & add browse the overlays folder (so you see ..textinput-tng folder), press add. (if it dont shows any files, just reopen the app)

5. 3-dot menu -> compile theme -> it will automaticly take you to install the "compiled" theme apk!

6. Now you can apply it in Substratum app!

button_auxiliary_dark -> number row buttons

I will add values for the other themes later. Im not home currently... or decompile keyboard apk yourself & pull them :P

btw, i added inverted icons if you have dark settings. If you have white settings -> delete "drawable-xxhdpi-v4" folder

Happy modding! :) Peace, bejunk

[Android Apps and Games] VonCrisp:
Hi Bejunk.

I was wondering if it is at all possible to somehow incorporate Voice to Text into the Xperia Keyboard in a similar fashion to how gboard does it by placing it into the top right handside. That way it wouldn't take up all the real estate when pressed.

Xperia Z3 was a great phone and I recently moved to the Nokia 7 Plus so no root but having the keyboard back made a huge difference.
[Android Apps and Games] onetik:
Thread should be marked with the [ROOT] tag.
[Android Apps and Games] bejunk:
please make log, i can may help then :)

Sorry, to keep the apk clean & untouched the described install methods are the only ones. However theres some installable apk at xda. Just look it up!

If you have allready the Xperia Keyboard (same package name) the it should. But better play safe and make some backup. Btw when updateting a rom, you need to ALLWAYS flash xperia keyboard after it, so custom words WILL stay.

See bottom of post on Q&A... You can use any root explorer or delete the 2 folders via TWRP file manager.

When you want a button on keyboard for Google Speech input, just enable it in settings! Works great! You have to enable Google Speech input as an Keyboard too.

See above ;)

Yeah, you are right, changed it :) Thank you!

Hey alltogether,

i want to say that this project is EOL - i wont do any update or such with Xperia Keyboard from now on, main reasons for this are:

- i moved on to Gboard which has automatic multi-language support finally!

- Sony abdonned (this) Xperia Keyboard (no updates)

Thank you all for the time & support! Special thanks [MENTION=5869314]baggord[/MENTION] who was here from the very beginning and did great support:good: I hope you all will do well in the future!

[MENTION=8985908]hosseiniquran[/MENTION] hey bro i attached the ARM64 version too?! Try it

This apk is the same as you get on the playstore when using that xml hack, the only diffrence is, that i included the lib files to be flashed to /system/lib to make it work on some devices where it would normally crash if you just install the apk/app via playstore ;) - just to be sure.

[Android Apps and Games] tonyafc:
you can give the custom DPI only to the Keyboard App. So your System, will be not affected :). Also you can try diffrent DPI, as some look weird & some nicer depending on your display (-reslution.-ratio,-size etc)

I think via CWM is the best. manual way only for those who not have recovery or my zip dont works. It makes no diffrence if u make it right ;)

I updated the Package, maybe it will help some guys with problems, grab it on OP :)
