Nope, sorry, the launcher seems to have been made with the on-screen navigation buttons in mind.
[BlackBerry Priv] carn2k:
Flow

Is there any possibility of the flow feature being added for the keyboard? I use flow a lot for all other keyboards. Any chance of getting this? Great keyboard otherwise.
[BlackBerry Priv] TowersVault:
By Flow I'm assuming you mean Swype, the code for it basically isn't there, additionally it will break all the other gestures like swiping up to auto-fill a word, swipe left to backspace a word, and swipe down to quickly access special characters.
[BlackBerry Priv] Moellica:
Guys,

I need your help

Launcher and Keyboard worked flawlessly.

Hub and Camera are not working - Hub tells that I need to update the blackberry services and Camera doesn't open at all, gives error and stops.

I have a rooted oneplus one and I installed the Blackberry Services, Resources and Hub on System/app

Would appreciate your help
[BlackBerry Priv] Moellica:

[BlackBerry Priv] constantineo:
i'm so exicited about the keyboard.is it really can learn the new words like as the real blackberry keyboard in bb10?

sorry for my bad english :D
[BlackBerry Priv] TowersVault:
Yup, pretty much the exact same as BB10's. :P

What do you need to do to patch apps hopefully if some one explained we will soon see more working apps ported to other android phones

BlackBerry keyboard doesn't support trace typing (i.e. SwiftKey Flow, Swype, et al). It just happens to use the AOSP keyboard tutorial, which mentions it. BlackBerry Priv owners would never see this, as it's their stock keyboard.

Swype is a completely different keyboard. This is Swype. Flow is a function of SwiftKey. Both use what is called trace typing by some, gesture typing by others (though, gesture is more like what the BlackBerry keyboard does, e.g. gesture (swipe) up for word prediction).

It would facilitate communication and reduce confusion if people used the right terms.
[BlackBerry Priv] iyngr:
Thanks a ton

These apps work very well with no problems could someone make an app of BlackBerry dialer.

hub not working

i use rom GPE 6.0 on M8 , i push 3 file in system/ priv-app but ,hub not working :((
[BlackBerry Priv] primod808:
Did you fine a solution to the different color KB? I too am getting the different color KB. Using stock cm ROM.
[BlackBerry Priv] ABQNM:
Do you have a device with a QHD screen? I've installed it on a few devices and only on my G3 with a QHD screen (like the Priv) does it look just like the Priv. On the rest it's holo grey like the image from the post you replied to.

Seems like BlackBerry probably didn't include resources for other screen resolutions since it wasn't meant for other devices. We already know it's pulling the stock Google keyboard setup screen, and this grey version looks like the holo AOSP keyboard. It's most likely built on top of a forked branch of the AOSP keyboard, so it's likely using the stock AOSP holo grey theme for all the other resources that BlackBerry didn't need to modify.
[BlackBerry Priv] TowersVault:
Ah sorry, thought it was called Swype, same as how everyone calls a hot tub a Jacuzzi..
[BlackBerry Priv] primod808:
Thanks that explains why I have it both on my s6 and my s2 and the s2 is the one with the gray kb.
[BlackBerry Priv] SAYF777:
Thanks thurask and TowersVault in that case seems it was a false positive.
[BlackBerry Priv] SAYF777:
By any chance did you remove the Internet permission from the keyboard TowersVault? When I installed it one of the permissions was to automatically download updates without user knowledge or something similar?
[BlackBerry Priv] TowersVault:
Actually tried to remove that permission because it creeped me out, the trojan false-positive version never crashed, the clean one keeps crashing. I'll inspect again tonight, maybe I did something wrong.

Edit: Didn't have a PC with ADB when I tested removing the Internet downloading permission, so couldn't see what actually broke.

Blackberry Camera Apk

Hi can you get the blackberry camera to work on stock Android 5.0.2 please..................:D love the camera and would like to use it :fingers-crossed::good:
[BlackBerry Priv] TowersVault:
A not-so critical patch for the keyboard APK. Removed the "can download stuff without your permission" permission. New APK can be downloaded here.
[BlackBerry Priv] StressDS:
Is there an APK for BB Travel? That's the app I've been missing the most since I left BB.

Thanks!
[BlackBerry Priv] TowersVault:
Apparently BlackBerry Travel didn't come over to Android with the Priv, however this seems to be an alternative.
[BlackBerry Priv] nemisans13:
Forgive my noobness but could I just copy those blackberry apks in my system apps forlder then reboot?
[BlackBerry Priv] TowersVault:
Been sharing this around a bit, follow the guide on this website, it's down to the point and will explain to you how to install system apps. :)
[BlackBerry Priv] nemisans13:
Thanks I think root Uninstaller app has that option to convert user to sys apps as well. That does make sense though
[BlackBerry Priv] Ravensousa:
Any fixes

I own a note 3 the launcher app drawer crashes on BlackBerry launcher
[BlackBerry Priv] :
Installed not-so critical patch for the keyboard APK.

but the words will not show up while typing so I can just swipe on work to put it in just looks like a normal keyboard on Samsung tab s running 5.0.1 older keyboard was working fine
[BlackBerry Priv] thepepperman:
The word prediction doesn't work when inputting websites etc. Only for free form text input areas.
[BlackBerry Priv] Cloud Thomas:
It's not gonna show up when you typing url, password are any type of searches in the search section. It will show up once you typing a text are responding to a messenger like what's app, BBM etc.

[BlackBerry Priv] zhengyu718:
Seems no Chinese input on the KB, is it an inherent issue?
[BlackBerry Priv] ABQNM:
Chinese input isn't included even on the Priv as far as I've seen. BlackBerry even has a note telling you that you may have to download a keyboard from Google Play if your language isn't listed.

Note: If the input language that you want to use isn’t listed, you might have to install a keyboard for that input language from the Google Play™ store.
[BlackBerry Priv] Brownmagician:
Is there a step by step guide to installing the hub?

I'm just trying to figure out to get the hub installed on my uprooted one plus one so I can finally use an email and messaging App effectively and for work.

Ive got the keyboard and calendar installed already. Would love if I didn't need to root to use the hub...
[BlackBerry Priv] Trac Mila:
As far as I know. The hub is only working on rooted devices.

The launcher works on unrooted devices. Check out the OP for the apk.
[BlackBerry Priv] daffyturtle:
Is there any way to make the numbers row permanently?
[BlackBerry Priv] Trac Mila:
From what I've gleaned so far, no.
[BlackBerry Priv] 8afri:
Keyboard and calendar works fine on Note II (t03g) running CM12.1

No luck on Hub.
[BlackBerry Priv] TowersVault:
The words won't show up while typing a website address or a password in, try typing a text message or an email and check if the word prediction shows up.
[BlackBerry Priv] Jervisd:
I'm sure you've said this close to a dozen times already and yet still the question/comment comes in...smh
[BlackBerry Priv] TowersVault:
I know lol.

[MENTION=6138697]Xaiux[/MENTION] , you mind updating the info for the keyboard APK on the OP? The info that should be added is:

Note that the keyboard will not display text prediction options when typing website addresses/links or passwords in, additionally trace typing (Swype, Flow, etc.) is not supported, even though the keyboard's setup displays that. Also note that some languages are not supported by BlackBerry, thus you might not be able to set the keyboard to a specific language of your choice. On top of all of this info, if text prediction doesn't show up right after installing the keyboard, give it a few seconds, it seems to take a short while for the keyboard to initialize its word libraries.
[BlackBerry Priv] rspear:
Everything runs smoothly on htc m8 with cm12.1 rom.

The only thing that isn't working for me is bbm inside the hub. Perhaps there's an updated apk with the priv apps.?
[BlackBerry Priv] TowersVault:
The last update BlackBerry did to the hub was on November 4, 2015, so unfortunately no, there aren't any updated APKs.
[BlackBerry Priv] Brownmagician:
Thank you so much for the work

Listen, a lot of people are coming in to this thread and asking for this and that and I just want to take a second to say thanks for effort.I'm using the BlackBerry keyboard and to type this and calendar to schedule.

I'm hoping as time goes on I can get the hub without having to root.once I get the hub on my oneplus one and my s6 edge +,I'll be a happy camper. I'll root the s6 edge + to make it happen.
[BlackBerry Priv] rspear:
Sorry, I meant an apk for bbm that is meant to work with the hub. I'm just using the bbm from the playstore for all devices.

Is bbm working in the hub for others?

[BlackBerry Priv] dcwiker05:
Yours looks way different than mine...?
[BlackBerry Priv] :
Because mine is on a Samsung galaxy tab s tablet dcwiker05
[BlackBerry Priv] dcwiker05:
That could be why it's not working. The keyboard from what I've read is based on a fork of the AOSP keyboard but tailored to the Priv screen. That's why only those with the QHD screen phones have the proper keyboard color (all black) and everyone else has the gray and black version. It may not be drawing correctly for your screen size thus the buttons aren't right? That would be my best guess and if so I don't think that's fixable until BlackBerry releases the keyboard for everyone, if they do.

[MENTION=4527203]rspear[/MENTION] how did you install everything? I've tried both the copy into system app method, and flashing zips through recovery.

anyone know how to make blackberry camera work ?

not work on 12.1 rom zenfone 2

and by the way , a days ago i install blackberry service directly , but it always keep force close 2 times after reboot :/
[BlackBerry Priv] dcwiker05:
Doubt it will happen unless BlackBerry releases it themselves. It's too dependent on the services app which can not be installed normally.

---------- Post added at 07:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:03 AM ----------

There was a post a while back saying it isn't going to work and no one is going to take the time to make it work. OEM Camera apps are designed to work with the OEM hardware and nothing else really. They also usually draw heavily from the framework of the OEM skin (probably not as much for BlackBerry as others since it's relatively stick android. ) But that's why it's rare (not impossible) to see the OEM camera on AOSP or CM it's a heck of a project to undergo.
[BlackBerry Priv] rspear:
I flashed everything in TWRP in the order shown in the op.

It was immediately after flashing cm but I don't think that made a difference for the hub bc it worked for me on stock too.
[BlackBerry Priv] :
Has any one tested the calendar?

Any one elce get a problem warning with Bob launcher?
[BlackBerry Priv] rajziel:
Calendar works for me. I'm using a stock LG G4.

Obviously you don't get the hub integration without the hub but it functions well otherwise.
[BlackBerry Priv] jevinzac:
So what about for the apps someone posted above in Google drive? For those whose don't want to download from Mega? Should I install that too using TWRP and in the same order given in the Gdrive?

Sorry am new to XDA and android
