HD2 Keyboard National layout LT (Lithuanian). Cursor keys swaped,vibro reduced

National Lithuanian for standart HD2 keyboard (Ezinput) Full QWERTY Layout.
Cursor keys swaped (up, right etc..)
Cursor keys moved to left side of the keyboard
Vibro reduced to 1
National keys added (long press).
TAB key instead of XT9
Click volume reduced
No more need for FingerKeyboard or other if you do not demand much from the keyboard
Unistallable, so you can easily revert to original.
Haven't tested without policy disabled (unasigned apps). Perhaps you need to set this option with BsB Tweaks to install the cab.
v2.3 Landscape cursor keys on left side.
v3.1 Landscape cursor keys location something like on fingerkeyboard

It's not a problem to make better english version!!! If someone needs it is possible Just ask.
What I did - everything exept "national keys" are useful for everyone- lowered vibro, lowered sound, space moved to right, cursor key placed in first row. It is more comfortable for me.
I do not understand what the guys who made keyb were thinking about - in original layout space not reachable with right thumb, vibro too strong sound to loud - in 10 mins that things become anoying
And whats funny if i rotate screen 270 degrees - keyboard rotates also - but the keys that pop on press a not rotated, I mean they stay as on 90 degrees rotation layout ha ha ha
Why I'm telling that- on HD2 default layout would be more comfortable using 270 but not 90 as is .... Strange why cursor keys are on right side because that position is more comfortable to be on left..on 90 Try...
Is there anybody who can help/give me information about that damn HTC keyboard. I have some ideas but still didn't find out how to do (eg. how to make space of bigger width - where is the png that is used for space button ?)
Thanks in advance.

linuxis,
it's nice to see your work.
I'd like to know how did you make it, because I'd like to make something similar but I'd like to experiment a little ... and probably make a full Bulgarian layout.
What's required to accomplish this?

Updated to version 2.3 - cursor keys moved to left

I would be cool if you could make a keyboard with easy access to "æ, ø, å" for us danish users... I would seriously call you my god if you could pull that off

If you have a tool look inside the cab. Basically these files are modified.
0C09.xml
0D09.xml
1C00.xml
LQ_Bg.png
LQ_Bg_Inv.png
PQ_Bg.png
PQ_Bg_Inv.png
LQSym_Bg.png
LQSym_Bg_Inv.png
All layout is in xml files, they inside has links to the images.
By the images you can say what layout they represend.
LQ - Landscape
PQ - portrait
LQSym - numeric keyboard layout
xxx.xml xxx - code of the language you modify.
xml structure is very simple, just layout tag/ page tag (several pages eg in numeric layout)/ key tags with coordinates. You can find key by key ID, and change the key or the values on long key press.
I think that is enough to start.

I just need to know what symbols shoud be placed where and what layout is the best for the danish symbols because I do not know danish . I mean - first row-long press (like lithuanian layout) or "æ" on "a" longpress ? And the symbols also needed.

Has anyone made a Swedish keyboard?

i'd like a german layout with the € symbol at the e key, the arrows in landscape on the other side, disabled xt9 key and the rest standard would it be possible?
or could you share the base files so i can mod them myself ?

nice i managed to do the mods for myself, at least the mods with changing the keys!
but as i saw the layout editing isn't that hard either, just redo all coords and the png file
nice linuxis for your inspiration!
but i asked myself, if it is possible to do smiles on a long press function, as i understood the xml code, it's not that easy cause a normal <char> tag prints all the keys while a <LP_char> tag gives the option to choose ...

Thanks mate for a long awaited LT keyboard.

[Q] Bluetooth Keyboard Choices - Genius or Sony

Hi,
I am looking for a bluetooth keyboard that could bring along with me on the road in case I need to work out of office. Usually I'll need to use native email client, remote access through RDP for general OA tasks.
Anyone tried any of the bluebooth keyboards below, and could share with me about the user experience?

Very interesting. I also need a bluetooth keyboard for my galaxy tab 7300.
I have a question, does these keyboards support multi-language support?
What layout uses the bluetooth keyboard, its own, or system?

The Samsung input method seems to "fix" some of the mappings. For example it allows the swedish ÅÄÖ to be typed on a swedish bluetooth (or USB) keyboard but not everything is mapped correctly. Also the CTRL and ALT keys are not working for me when the Samsung Input method is used.
I do not know if it works better or worse on other layouts but switching input method to "Android Keyboard" will make it use Standard US layout and makes CTRL and ALT work again.
I've written apps that overrides the US layout for several non-US layouts and that is what I use with my Swedish/Finnish bluetooth keyboard (requires a rooted device).

I need more info than that. Like for example what characters are used when SHIFT is pressed and when ALT-GR is pressed.
I found this http://qnx.projektas.lt/en_ltkbd.html
I suppose it it the top one you want? Where numbers are available when holding down the ALT button. Perhaps I can add both variants.

I want this layout "lt_LT_numeric – Lithuanian numeric keyboard", because it is most commonly used.
"The most widely used layout at the moment. Lithuanian letters occupy and replace numbers in upper row of keyboard. Use of Alt Gr key often eliminates need switch between layouts."

A little follow up on this thread. The old app that required root is now obsolete and has been replaced with an app that does not require root and comes with over 30 different predefined layouts out-of-the-box. It is also possible to create a whole layout from scratch or modify one of the predefined ones.

Android keyboard layouts

Edit Aug, 16: I have found out that the XT9 subsystem is used for specifically our docking stations. If you go to Settings -> Languages & Input -> ASUS Keyboard -> About, you'll see the big stupid XT9 icons. Therefore, our keyboards have to be using the XT9 database files and the only way to procure different languages seems to be via ASUS (that's what Nuance's site said anyway). The manipulation of the keyboard dock layout mentioned below seems to be our only way until 1) we procure these additional language files from a different source (might require tweaking), 2) someone with an XT9 license makes the files for us, 3) we find an editor that we can use to create / edit the XT9 files, or 4) we find out how to rework the keyboard framework to use different altogether.
Because of the way our system uses the XT9 subsystem, the JB keyboard update itself won't help us. Officially, it all depends on what ASUS gives us to enable additional langs/layouts for our keyboard docks.
---- Original
All right. Here is what I have collected thus far regarding the way that Androids handle keyboard layouts. I put it here in development as I'm sure only the people in this area would really have an interest/use for it. As I still have yet to satiate my own curiosity and preference for a different keyboard layout, I do hope that somehow someone can figure out how to get us proper alternative keyboard layouts.
----
Our keyboard layouts are spread into 2 separate data form categories: the buttons and the characters. The buttons are the real buttons (physical keyboard or virtual) that have a specific numerical identifier. The characters are the glyphs and their various states that can occur when using character modifier buttons (shift, control, alt, etc) when the associated key number button is pressed.
All of these values are found in "/system/usr" with those found in the "keychars" directory being for the glyphs and the "keylayout" for the arrangement of button number with associate character represented. Both types of files (".kcm" for characters and ".kl" for layours) are really just text documents and seeing the association between the two is easy during comparison:
Example: 'A'
in the "Generic.kcm", it is defined as
Code:
key A {
label: 'A'
base: 'a'
shift, capslock: 'A'
ctrl, alt, meta: none
}
while in the "Generic.kl", it is defined as
Code:
key 30 A
Therefore, Key 30 is Mapped to Key 'A' that can have the states 'a' or 'A'.
Unfortunately, these two files that constitute a layout are combined in the XT9 subsystem and not totally used "as is". There is a configuration text file for the XT9 database that can be found at "/system/usr/xt9/config/databases.conf" and in there you can see mappings of languages to database files (also note that all are derived from QWERTY format). You'll notice that the databases are of type ".kdb", ".ldb", or ".dat". A quick search on the 'Net will tell you that the ".kdb" is a keepass file and ".ldb" is a Microsoft Access file. These are wrong! I suspect they are both the same file type but I do not know of what type they are so I cannot view nor edit them. I have tried the "suggested" programs and I tried SQLite since that format is used for our "registry". I'm thinking that they might be T9 database files but I haven't found an editor to even verify that hypothesis.
The organization used to create our layouts is highly flexible and therefore really complex. There's some type of combination of format + language that is calculated in order to determine the correct layout to use. No wonder ASUS (and practically everybody else) has limited keyboard layouts. Additionally, this scheme also controls the majority of our hardware keyboard buttons as well.
For the physical keyboard dock, we have direct ways of manipulating the hotkeys or brute-forcing the layout within our grasp. The hotkeys are somehow contained in our "/system/app/keyboard.apk" and for the basic layout, all we really need to do is modify the "asusdec.kl" to shoehorn our preferences into the system.
An example to test if you want a DVORAK keyboard layout is to copy & paste this into the asusdec.kl and restart (back up the file first!) and it should now be in DVORAK format (though it will not be selectable from the menu). Same thing for the "Generic.kl" - edit the chars associated with the key numbers and the buttons will change values. I do not recommend this method as it is hacky/evil/dirty/bad and all sorts of other negative adjectives. However, until a better way is found, it may be our only real way of modding the keyboard the way we want.
I humbly ask if there are any of our beloved geniuses with further knowledge on how this system to please post additional information here in hopes that maybe we may create better keyboard options for our devices.
Thanks for reading
PS: Found out that Jelly Bean will have additional keyboard layouts. From this thread, "Android 4.1 includes 27 international keymaps for keyboards, including Dvorak." That's a good thing.

Wow, thanks. The information you've provided, is really helpful, and well layed out.

I'm glad that you think so though I don't know how helpful this post will actually be. This is a rare topic to find information on and even rarer to find information that is directly useful. However, I hope that the information I provided would be at least enough to give us a direction when/if development for keyboard layouts start.
Maybe I'll go over to the Prime forums later to read up further on any advancements they have made.

I've already contacted ASUS regarding is_IS layout and they will not support it, so I would not hope for much change there. It would be great if ASUS would release some kind of remapping tool so we could map the keys correctly ourselves.
I'll be keeping a close eye on this thread, and will post if I find something interesting.

Okay, after googling a bit I found an app called External Keyboard Helper Pro that allows me to enable my layout perfectly on the dock.
I'd recomend people seeing if it has their layout of choice.

I had modified the .kcm and .kl files in ICS and had successfully mapped Bluetooth->Mute to be F1-F12 while allowing Caps lock (when on ) to restore those buttons to their original function. I had also modified the Lock and Wireless buttons to function as Delete and ESC respectively. I had made a few other changes as well. After updating to Jelly Bean I made a backup of the new files that had overwritten my edits and then recopied my edits over the new files and rebooted. The edits no longer worked at all and most of the keys I had made changes to now did nothing. I then tried to restore the backups of the files I had changed and then rebooted but nothing changed even though they were seemingly back in their original configuration. Does anyone have any clue as to what might have happened?
Also, anyone else have any success in JB in changing their layouts?

No i'm in the same position you are in i managed to edit my kcm file exactly how i wanted it for ICS but now i have "upgraded" to JB and the changes have been lost it appears JB does not use the files in the XT9 folder at all and i cannot find out how to edit it with JB!!! Very frustrating.
All i want is the backslash key to be a backslash in UK "mode". It is producing a # unless i change modes which is very annoying each time i want it. Wondering if there is any other solution than to downgrade back to ICS?
Please help us someone!
Thanks

Make certain you are not applying ANY language selection to the keyboards in the settings. The Hardware keyboard is NOT a standard en-US keyboard, and those bindings break the special keys.

But since we can edit the keyboard's code, can't i just make it work with my language?

You can, but there's another method for that. Specifically, the one being discussed in this thread:

The keyboard settings application's applied layouts do not work for us.

I think that thread is dead, can you help me with enabling alt key?
I know how to edit system files etc. But I dont really know what to do exactly, and how to make the changes work.

As with my other post about the Jbak2 keyboard for tablets (here https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/guide-jbak2-keyboard-t4016959), I present instructions for installing and configuring the Multiling O keyboard for use on phones. I prefer using Multiling O on my phone because its default configuration is almost perfect for phones (easily adjustable keyboard size, just the right amount of keys), and requires just a few changes to make it perfect for a phone.
You can install from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kl.ime.oh&hl=en
Like the Jbak2 keyboard, this has only four permissions (although different ones):
android.permission.VIBRATE
android.permission.READ_USER_DICTIONARY
android.permission.WRITE_USER_DICTIONARY
android.permission.INTERNET (used to download
Themes/Addons, but not required to function properly)
Link to my shared pCloud http://pc.cd/VJ47 New http://u.pc.cd/v9s7
To try out my configuration (see screenshot) MultiLingO-Screenshot.png
Download it (it's just a plain-text file) MultiLingO-keyboard_Settings.txt
Open it and Copy entire contents to your clipboard
Go to Settings⇛Misc.⇛Import|Export⇛Settings, then tap 'Paste' to replace what's already there with what you just copied to the clipboard.
TIP: To see full functionality, including emojis, PressHold the BlackGearIcon, and slide to the desired function.
TIP: After PressHold the BlackGearIcon⇛Emoji, you will see emoji *categories*. Press one to see full list of emojis.
TIP: Press the red lock icon to return to main keyboard layout.

damn really? it seems like such an essential functionality for basic key shortcuts like ctrl + arrow/backspace/delete to navigate/select, delete/f-delete words easily, and so many other shortcuts. instead of having to create different buttons/gestures for each direction and for each key…

You are still able to design the kb the way you like with your desired "shortcuts" I say shortcuts but you should look over http://honsoapps.appspot.com/1/k.html and redesign default or own layout.

but i can’t do that without a toggle-able button, can i?
let me clarify, lets say the layout i’m using only has Shift, Backspace, Delete and Arrow keys. i’d then only need 1 toggle-able Ctrl key for ctrl + arrows (like shift + arrows for selecting).
but if i want to do that without a toggle button (since i can’t hold it down), i’d need to make 2 dedicated buttons for word-forward and word-back. same happens with ctrl + backspace (now needs 1 more dedicated button) and ctrl + delete (yet 1 more dedicated button). plus for ctrl + up or down (yet 2 more dedicated buttons).
so with just these few shortcuts, what would have only needed 1 toggle-able Ctrl button, instead now needs 6 different dedicated buttons (or 6 different gestures, if using [4D:…]). now imagine i want to add shift to the combination for even more shortcuts, that’s another 6 more dedicated buttons on top (now we’re at 12 extra dedicated buttons/gestures instead of 1 toggle-able Ctrl button). or am i missing some trick?
and don’t worry, i know about creating layouts

I see, yea it would be sound having more sticky functionbuttons. I guess the dev no longer respond either.
Maybe the dude over at Unexpected-Keyboard might have something going, but its not quite the same.

yea, i’m kinda hoping it’s possible in some less known way/some workaround. because implementing shift to be toggle-able but no way for ctrl and alt just seems like an odd development decision, as all three keys are used as “hold-down combo keys” on pc. and yea the dev has long left this project, just hoping that he already implemented it in some sort of way
thanks, i’ll check out unexpected-keyboard but i’m sure there’s no chance that overall it can do what multiling can unfortunately. every time i develop my layouts a bit further i discover something new, it has insane versatility throughout

Have you tried jBak2 keyboard (my xda thread in OP) has info?
I no longer use MultiLingo, but use jBak2 on my tablet, and Florisboard on my phone.
jBak2 is in active development and has *many* improvements from the version available on Play Store. Although I've liked the newer versions' features I don't use them any longer because they have
android.permission.INTERNET
android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE
and I don't really need the new features.
If you need the link to get/check out the new versions pm me.

Hi,
with Multiling O keyboard, to write an accented letter (é, à. ò, ù, etc) I used to write the letter first and then,
in the rightmost place of the second row of letters, appeared the letter with the accent so I had just to tap there
to get what I was looking for. Now this behaviour has disappeared (don't updated the app and don't know what happened):
I can I get it back?
Thanks.

But in Florisboard swipe writing only works in English. A pitty by now, let's see if there is any other update soon

years later, and im using it just fine on my ricedroid a13
hopefully honso will popup with an update since some people think its dead so theres no use trying it out

I don't know how but I lost the ability to add the accents with two strokes: letter then accent, and I can't find a way to restore this functionality.
DO you know anything about it?
Thanks.
