Does anyone know how to use the standard 2.2 keyboard with the microphone button instead of the TNT keyboard?
Bump, cause I wanna know too!
I'm running TnT 3389 with rothnic's enhancement pack v.1 and the 99% market fix. I'd love to have either the stock Android keyboard or something like Swype beta. Ideally I'd like to have voice input and some navigation arrows for editing. While I'm wishing, any chance of copy/paste getting enabled?
I downloaded the Anysoft keyboard from the official market but can't seem to select it from settings>language &keyboard. When I try to select it as my input method of choice, I am offered the warning about it saving credit card #'s, I click OK, then it goes back to the settings>language & keyboard menu without the checkbox next to Anysoft being checked.
What am I missing?
Can't use alternate keyboard with stock ROM
The stock stuff does not allow you to use an alternate keyboard. Sigh....
EVERYONE should call the Viewsonic support number and demand that they enable all 2.2 capability and not block things. If they aren't allowed to install Google apps, that is OK, but they should not srop things like alternate keyboards. All settings that are in a stock Android 2.2 should be there.
Guys!
Does anybody know how to add more languages for Gingerbread keyboard in TNT_Lite 4.2.2?
Actually I need Russian.
I installed MoreLocale and chose Russian - it translated all menus, but didn't give opportunity to pick Russian in Input languages setting...
I appreciate any advices.
Thanks!
You need to find the libjni_cyrillicime.so lib file the libjni_latinime.so is the english file. It needs to go into the /system/lib/ dir.
Didn't help me.
I even installed Gingerbread keyboard from market - but can't choose it from Language&Keyboard setting.

What ROM are you on.
Vegan, and Adam allow changing of the keyboards easily, TNT-lite (due to TNT) did not till 4.2.0
On the google search bar long press, and the selection menu will show up allowing you to select the gingerbread keyboard.
the gingerbread keyboard was installed by default in 4.2.1 TNT-Lite, 4.2.2 added the adam keyboard.
Hope that makes it clearer
I use TNT_lite 4.2.2 (latest one).
And yes, I know that I can choose between keyboards.
Bot none of them has option "Russian".
I tried to replace libjni_latinime.so to one that comes with my Nexus One - didn't help.
Adam keyboard setting crashes every time that I touch Languages button.
If I install any keyboard from Market - I can't activate it in Settings menu.
Checkbox doesn't become checked.
So I still have the same problem.

The GB keyboard thread.
Doesnt look like cyrillic has been hacked in yet
Finally found Russian Gingerbread keyboard here - http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=207680
Put it in /system/app an fixed permissons.
Works perfect!!!
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 all!
I've been running ICS from the beginning of it's official release, but flashed the US-version instead of the european one.
No problem so far, but I have the wrong dock-keyboard-layout (QWERTY instead of QWERTZ).
Then I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1144204
But where can I find the layout for the german/austrian layout? Could anybody please upload it for me (path to the files should be /system/usr/keylayout and
/system/usr/xt9/keylayout; it's mentioned in the other thread)?
Thanks in advance,
LB115
If you are familiar with the QWERTZ layout, simply go to your language and input settings and select the ASUS German QWERTZ layout.
Your keys will be mapped to the new layout, but the pretty little stickers on them will still be for a different version.
I have a US keyboard, but setting it to ASUS English (UK) allows me to get to the £ symbol and the @ and " are reversed from what is physically on the keys, but it is the standard for UK English.
I have also used the ASUS Spanish keyboard settings with the US Keyboard with no issues.
If you are using any other setting (for instance Thumb Keyboard) for when you are undocked, it will revert to the ASUS English (US) layout regardless which version of the keyboard you have.
Thanks, but when using the Transformer without the dock I have the QWERTZ-layout. Only when using the dock I get the QWERTY one. My system language is German, all keyboard settings too, the dock is a german one...
EDIT: ok, it's working now. I only changed the default keyboard (Android keyboard+ instead of Android keyboard). Thanks for your help!
Hi, I've got the same problem, running FROZN 1.0.9 rom. But there is no other keyboard available than the android keyboard. Do I have to insall another one to get the qwertz layout for my dock?
Thanks for replies!
EDIT: Found Android Keyboard+ in this Post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1528322&highlight=qwertz , then I did like Lunchbox115 and it's working now
Hi sorry if this has been answered but ive searched around and can't find the answer, I'm using Raymans Jelly bean (build #5) and can't seem to change the dock layout to UK, there is no option under default keyboard layout for UK. Ive setup the language as UK but it won't change dock layout. Anybody know how to change it?
On CM10 (but I've read that was a new feature from JellyBean, so it should be available on any JB Rom), under Language : Physical Keyboard -> Asusec -> Set up keyboard Layout (at the bottom of the popup)
That worked for me actually

I have requested this with Rayman & K900 fom the earlier builds but it seems it may take a bit of work to rectify. It is missing.
However if you go to the playstore and look for external keyboard helper pro - this will let you change to English uk layout.
Simply go to the language and input settings on your TF, make sure EKHP is activated/selected, then when you get the keyboard icon in the notification bar - hit on it and select EKHP as your input method.
Its a handy little app to have and it means you dont have to reboot your TF if using EOS aswell.
