[Q] Chinese Handwritten input

I am currently in search of an keyboard or setting which allows me to input Chinese characters by using handwriting recognition like the iPhone's keyboard.
PS: I am fairly new to the Android OS.

[Q] Is there a way to remove the smiley key from the stock keyboard?

And the "globe/earth" key next to the spacebar? The functionality of the globe is redundant if you can hard press the spacebar for the same action.

Check the checkbox system default language in stock keyboard settings will remove the globe.

Where is it?

Click on Input languages. But I see you have multiple languages selected, don't think you can remove the globe with multiple languages. Try Multiling keyboard app from the PlayStore.

Okay, thanks. If I root my phone, is there a way to just edit the stock keyboard?

Or just buy SwiftKey

Not if you know how to modify the AOSP codes and recompile the stock keyboard. Give Multiling keyboard a try, I'm too using multiple IME and it fits my needs perfectly.

[Q] how-to add words to custom dictionary

how do i add words to custom dictionary, since i'm mixing words of multiple languages it doesn't recognize them or even whem i'm shortening words.. so i need to increase the recognizeable words. but i can't find how to add words to custom dictionary...
any help would be appreciated...

If you type a word the phone doesn't know it will say 'add to dictionary'. Just tap that and it will add it to the custom dictionary, providing you're using the stock keyboard.

Reducing the size of Google Keyboard - how can I do that?

I am using Google Keyboard, but it doesn't have an option to reduce its size. What I'm trying to do is use Xposed + App Settings, find the keyboard's process, and reduce its DPI. The problem with this is that it only affects the settings menu, and not the actual keyboard. I assume there's a separate process for the keyboard itself and another one for the settings.
Can you think of any way to do this? Swiping long words on a large keyboard is not very comfortable. Any ideas?

If you want a customizable keyboard try swifkey

I've tested all major keyboards and I'm not interested in any other one. Google Keyboard is almost perfect; I just need to make it smaller.

Bumping this thread as I too would love to know how to do this.

API does not allow DPI change

Hello fellow Androider,
I have tried doing this using Xposed framework and every other way I could google but it seems the scripts in the application framework do not allow us to change the DPI for the Google Keyboard.
I just gave up and at the moment I'm using a sweet alternative called Minuum Keyboard, I hope you'll thank me after you try it!!!
Peace,
Syed
