[Q] Fix keyboard in ICS ROMs - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys.
I'm working on ICS ROMs, but there is a problem with keyboard.
The device thinks that there is a physical keyboard available so keyboard doesn't appear. I've tried many ways with no success.
Thanks.

[Q] Japanese keyboard for Android Open Kang Project Build

I have been running AOKP on my galaxy nexus so decided id give it a try on the prime tablet. Everything runs great as expected (thanks and praise) however it seems there is no support for my Japanese keyboard.. Is there anyone in the same boat as me? Any possible solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Rooted rom with FSKaren
I just heard back from the developer/porter for the AOKP ASUS rom. He was very kind but unfortunately said, "Japanese isn't one of the included languages by Asus and is only supported on the full Japanese version of their stock software" So for now I flashed back to the original rom so i can still type with my dock in Japanese. I searched Japanese blogs and forums as well but only found interest in getting a Japanese keyboard supported rom. If anyone is interested in doing a rom with Japanese support I would be happy to do testing. I am not a programmer but I have been flashing roms with CWM for a while and fairly confident as long as there are some directions to read..

You could always try a software keyboard like Simeji till it is supported. My Bluetooth Japanese keyboard doesn't work on stock firmware either.

That is a good idea, thanks. Ill reflash this weekend to see if the qwerty key mapping is correct. I did try Google beta Japanese input but the key mapping was incorrect and typing in the dock with qwerty mode selected did not allow me to type in Japanese, only English.
Hi guys,
I'm in the same boat as you.
I'd love to have be able to have all the extra functionality and performance of a custom rom whilst also still retaining the ability to use the dedicated keyboard key on my Japanese TF201 dock to switch between English and Japanese.
I wonder how complicated the process would be to rip the keyboard's software from a stock rom and implement it into a custom rom..
I'm not a huge fan of the stock Japanese keyboard that ASUS provides though; it's laggy as hell and nowhere near as good at word prediction as say Simeji.
Is there no way to map the functinality to the key in order to change keyboards but with a different keyboard such as Simeji??
If anyone has any links to some Japanese language pages that might offer some Japanese TF201 roms which are likely to include the keyboard components, I'm sure we'd all be greatful!
I've had little luck finding anything so far
me too
I'm running AOKP on my japanese TF201 but the keyboard layouts (onscreen and physical) are screwed. Just searching for a way to flash back the last japanese firmware running on version 4.0.3 (my AOKP milestone 6.1 runs on 4.0.4). If anyone can point me to the right direction, I would definitely appreciate the help.

[Q] XMP hardware keyboard on custom roms

Hi
I'm currently using stock rom 4.1.B.0.587 (BL unlocked, rooted). I've tried a few custom roms in the past but never found one in which the hardware keyboard worked flawlessly (i.e. numeric, symbol and language select keys working). I'm finding there's some lag in the stock rom and would like to try new ones.
I've been to the developer forums looking at some of the more popular roms but it seemed to me all have problems dealing with XMP's hardware keyboard.
Is the only way to keep the hardware keyboard's complete functionalities to stick to stock rom?
Thanks
maybe you should try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38278250&postcount=65
Thanks for this. Would this work in JB based roms as well or just ICS?
You can try Cyanogen Mod 9, 10, or 10.1. I was try it and hardware keyboard work normally for me.

Hi,
im afraid it mostly is. You will currently not get a stock like keyboard experience on custom roms. If you are like me, you are missing stuff like autocompletion and spell check. Sony uses a custom keyboard for that - altought some people managed to the xperia S keyboard working on the Mini Pro, these features only work when you used the soft-keyboard.
I tried SwiftKey some time ago, if i remember correct, that gave me word suggestions as well in hardware keyboad. May you should try the free trial.
