Hey,
Do u think that there is a way to change the android source to support input of more lanuage directly from the keyboard and not from on-screen keyboard?
Like in windows when clicking on alt+shift it change the keyboard input from english to other language.
Is there any way to make the stock android keyboard work with Romanian? It doesn't have Romanian characters, no spell check, but LG keyboard, sense keyboard and all 3 party keyboards have them...
Any way to make it?
Anyway to have romanian language and dictionary on stock Android keyboard?
There is no Romanian stock keyboard. Google didn't bother to implement one.
See the bug report here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=25330
I haven't found any keyboards for ICS Asus Transformer which allow to switch input language on the dock keyboard, so I hacked standard ICS keyboard to allow russian and english layout to be used on the dock keyboard. Here is the apk, enjoy.
What works:
* All standard features, like soft keyboard and voice input should work correctly.
* Switch between russian and english using Ctrl-Space, or Ctrl+Shift (I can potentially change it to any other key combination)
* Russian and German and a few others layouts on dock keyboard
* NO ROOT required, the keyboard can be installed in addition to standard keyboard.
TODO:
* load kcm files
* add layouts for some other languages if anyone is interested
* pick up a sane name for the keyboard modification
* caps lock is ignored in russian mode
* Ctrl-Space and Ctrl-Shift changes layout, but doesn't update the selected keyboard subtype in list of keyboards.
Changelog:
2012-03-12 - azerty for french, fixed ENTER key to work correctly with search widget.
2012-03-11 - Restored back qwertz for German layout
2012-03-10 - Using TF101 Original KCMs provided by @bouod. German kcm layout uses qwerty instead of qwertz. Is it fine?
2012-03-09 - Added alt-<key> combinations to german layout.
2012-03-06 - added experimental German support (to enable - enable German language in keyboard settings)
there's an app called "Russian Keyboard", it works almost perfect. Just set it to "external qwerty"/

I've just tried the "Russian Keyboard":
* it works
* soft keyboard is pretty crappy (I like ICS keyboard much more, I should probably add a layout switch key to it, which is the one thing I dislike about it)
* Location of 'ё' key is unknown.
My version:
* standard ICS keyboard
* slight changes to switch dock key layouts
sounds good to me
i have been trying for 2 days to get asus keyboard working on Eos and got it but not in the dock part
I would love to write "Arabic" in my doc
appreciate your help
thanks
Ivan, btw, you're my тезка=), can you change language switching method to ctrl-shift or fn-shift? It would be awesome.
For rukeyboard you can assign ё key, but you have to disassemble its apk.

I have taken a look at the arabic keyboard on wikipedia and tried to type arabic on android. It looks much more complicated and I'm not sure I fully understand how it supposed to work. I can give you my modifications if you want to try yourself.
Nice modification mate !
Could you please share the source of your decompiled apk ?
Or even better, a full eclipse project would be nice !
BTW, with what thingy of editor are you reverse engeneering the keyboard apk ?
I would love to see this mod for german users

I could do that if he would give the source to me.
Or if he does by himself .
I could provide the translated layout files.

thank you for looking, indeed it's harder than some others
I can try with your modifications if it's OK
Edit: maybe asus keylayout-keychars could help you doing any lang!
have you done any other modification in your system other than this .apk? It seems doesn't work for me. ctrl+shiift or ctrl+space doesn't change anything.
i just installed it as a normal .apk. Should i push it to /system/apps?

You have to go to settings, languages and input, then select android keyboard+ then the ctrl+shift will work.
thanks a lot. i forgot about it completely - thought it would replace system .apk. Now it works perfect.
Guys, please tell me how you decompiled it or at least share your sources with me as JDGui keeps fc'ing so I don't know antoher way to do it myself.. ...
Ivan, can you post sources? i'd try to port it to Desire Z.
Also, btw, works great with external USB keyboard.

I can make this work for German and Russian. You will just need to enable one of them in keyboard layouts. You just need to give me the keyboard map without and with shift for entire keyboard, like this:
Without shift:
`1234567890-=
qwertyuiop[]\
asdfghjkl;'
zxcvbnm,./
With shift:
[email protected]#$%^&*()_+
QWERTYUIOP{}|
ASDFGHJKL:"
ZXCVBNM<>?
What characters do you use in german?
It looks like de keyboard layout uses key combinations to produce characters like: ¹²ẑâáź...
Do you need them?
I haven't decompiled the keyboard apk, I instead compiled it from source with my modifications, using source.android.com
Sources are attached on the top post.
Is it the right german layout?
Without shift:
^1234567890ẞ´
qwertzuiopü+#
asdfghjklöä
yxcvbnm,.-
With shift:
°!"§$%&/()=?`
QWERTZUIOPÜ*'
ASDFGHJKLÖÄ
YXCVBNM;:_
I can easily add it to the keyboard...

I added the german layout. To use it you should enable German in the Input Languages menu. Try switch to "German (Android Keyboard+)".
Ctrl-Shift, Ctrl-Space should toggle between English/German/Russian(if enabled in input languages).
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knows of any edits (rooted) I can make that would allow the stock MM (6.0.1) to give me all available languages rather than just the stock? I'm looking to add Japanese to my list of languages -- system wide that is, not just input -- but no matter what I do, it only gives me the stock languages. I've tried More Locale which doesn't release the languages to me and Language Enabler. I would love the native Japanese system language and well, the option to use any language I want.
EDIT: Deleting and changing the language.xml in System/csc doesn't work for me either.
Thanks
