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.

I've searched and searched. But I can't find this anywhere. Can't believe that nobody have made a port of this, so we could've used it in both CM7 and MIUI. I'm on Sense 3.0 Revolution and I'm loving the HTC Trace keyboard. But I like to play with different roms, that's the fun with androids! I'm from Norway and there aren't that many good keyboards with norwegian prediction and T9/phonekeypad. The HTC_IME Mod is far away compared to this keyboard, especially on the prediction. And I find it amusing to use the trace function once in a while. I'm just a fan, not a developer. But for you who are it can't be that hard? Shoot me if I'm wrong...
Also tried to install android keyboards from LG and Samsung Galaxy S2 as I know they have T9 pad, flashed in recovery, but they don't appear in the language/keyboard setting menu no matter what... Are they blocked for anything but their "brand"?
Hoping for other answers than try swype, swiftkey, etc etc..
Best regards

From what I understood back before ICS there was no way to add another input language dictionary to an already compiled version of android on a phone. So most keyboards with multilingual support have separate language packs which can be downloaded optionally. However, this means you had to choose to use a keyboard other than the built in Android keyboard.
Now that ICS is out I flashed it on my Nexus S and noticed there are add-on dictionaries in the Language & input setting in Android Keyboard under "Keyboard & Input Methods" (click the 3 sliders to your right) and then towards the bottom under "Text correction" clicking on add-on dictionaries brings up a page with all available. Some are installed and some can be installed. Unfortunately none with the language I want.
So My question is, how do I add another add-on dictionary and has this issue been fixed in the new Android ICS 4.0?
Here is some additional info I found over the months of FroYo and GB input language dictionary issue:

Here is the exact keyboard but with some additional language packs which, unlike Google's, can be added later:

This is very interesting for me too. I don't see Norwegian in the list, but I'm hoping once the Galaxy Nexus is released in Norway, the add-on dictionary will pop up in that list
I have a UK Galaxy Nexus, but this would also be interesting for everyone on custom roms who would like to use the standard keyboard and who are not writing in english.
+1 for this message.
Portuguese appears on the list, but there's no dictionary available for download.
+1 for this. I have the same problem on my Galaxy Nexus. There is a refresh button on the dictionary list so maybe Google will eventually add it but nothing so far.
Wait. So Android 4.0, the newest bestest Android version ever...
Is just for English users. Seriously?
I just thought/assumed it was a shortcoming in the current experimental builds I was running. This makes me seriously reconsider putting money into the Galaxy Nexus.

NO.
Currently the system KEYBOARD have: english, Cestina, Nederlands, Francais, Deutsch, Italiano, Russian and Espanol.
and we're awaiting more to come as it checks online for more dictionaries downloads.
But is it going to be possible to set the phone language to English, but set the language for spelling correction to Dutch? I know you can set the keyboard language to Dutch and install the Dutch dictionary but that only show correction suggestions in the bar above the keys and not if you touch the word. So now every Dutch word I type gets underlined even though I've set the keyboard language to Dutch. It doesn't do that if I set the system language to Dutch.

4.0.3 is supposed to be the "baseline" release of ICS, according to JBQ from Google.
The source is now available and so is some unofficial builds.
Has anyone checked them out to see if they include anything new in this regard?

Running aosp 41 which is great but nothing more other than what was already mentioned in add-on dictionaries. I assume it could be included in the ROM when compiling bu tthe developer has not answered my question on this yet. You could probably just compile the keyboard apk and replace the default. I know this was possible on GB because CyanogenMod 7 initially had about 100 dictionaries for the HeroC but sometime down the road it was cut out from the build to save space.
Is there any new news of how to add dictionary to Android ICS??
Bump.
Anyone solved this?
I've been trying to solve this weird problem since I started using android.. Not that i really miss the feature, but just because I can't stand it not being solved.
I use a USA (Verizon) droid 3 in the Netherlands. I used morelocale2 to set it to country: the Netherlands and language: English because by default I can only choose English and Spanish. With morelocale it works fine.
When I press the mic key in my homescreen, it uses dutch voice recognition (which works flawlessly btw). But when I want to use this voice recognition in any other app, it says "voice dictation does not support current language". When I change the input language under multi-touch keyboard settings to English, it will English voice.
I don't understand why it says it doesn't support it!! It DOES, as I can use it in the homescreen without any problems!
Thanks
This has not been fixed in Jelly Bean either.
Text correction is just available in a few, select languages. Availability of languages doesn't seem very improved since ICS, but the list has gotten a little longer.
It seems absurd though, that we should not be able to add our own dictionaries.

But other phones in my country that are "native" European phones can use voice dictation in all apps.
For me it doesn't work, even though it works in my home screen. There must be something I can change..
Can't load English UK dictionary
I have an excellent 5.7" MT6589 device known as STAR or BLUEBO B6000. I can set the system language to English UK and select the additional English UK dictionary and it says it's downloading but it never seems to load and the keyboard spell checker thinks that every word is wrong. This seems to be an issue with a few of the available ROMs, mostly based on 4.1.1. Any suggestions.
Hello every one i am new to this section just recently traded my xperia x10 for a new s3 yay!!
Any way i am used to having 2 key bored sets i realise this is easily done however my standard UK Vodafone s3 does not have a Japanese key bored available is it possible to install one or some thing any advice would be great
I don't want to dive straight in to rooting and flashing this phone just yet but if any one knows of a stock ROM that has a nice key bored with Japanese and English supported that would be great
I did try searching but i could not find any related topics so please any advice would be great.
Thank you for all your advice in advance and i look forwarded to joining this new area.

Why your keys are bored? Nothing on tv or what?
Any way if you're looking for a Japanese keyboard try go keyboard, it's free.

Just search play store for "japanese keyboard" there are a few, I have used easy Japanese keyboard before to play around with.
Edit: you do need to know hiragana and katakana at least to use it, it's not like the MS IME on windows, just thought I would mention that.

I think the best keyboard might be multiling keyboard. You may have a try . It has lots of language inside

Thanks for the advice but i really like the Samsung keyboard so i was really hoping i could add the language to that.
also apologizes for the key bored bit I blame spell checker.
i will download one unless any one knows of a ROM that has one in the Samsung bit or a way to add a language i asume it must be possible as the phone is sold in japan.
Thanks for all your advice
I use the official Google Japanese IME, it works well. Othewise, Simeji Keyboard works good aswell.
Thank you very one for your help
I have settled on the official IME one looks ok but i am sad Samsung don't support Japanese but they do every other language
Thanks for the help if mod finds please close now

Yeah, no Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Persian...
But they have a lot of other languages. The Samsung IME is not bad though.
There is a Japanese language set available for the native Swype keyboard in the S3.
You just have to download it in the settings menu.

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.
Hello.
I am facing a great problem with AOSP keyboard dictionaries. I am hoping to use AOSP keyboard with my own language (malay) and therefore I also require the spell check to work with it.
With my current Cyanogenmod ROM, I cannot seems to be able to correct any of my spelled Malay words; presumably, there aren't any dictionary of it.
Concerned, I tried to use France as the language, shocked, the spell-checker works with France. So, this made my guess about the missing dictionary a possible-true thing. Add-on dictionaries is "empty" and also I cannot find a way to add any dictionaries.
As I am rooted, are there any ways I can force add the malay dictionary?
I am thinking of finding the English UK dictionary and translate it by-hand (working hard for it) and then put it back onto the system. Anyone who can guide me with this?
Ironically, changing CM's main language into "Bahasa Melayu" or Malay seems to work. I am not so sure why it doesn't on AOSP keyboard.
One thing to note, please don't recommend me installing another keyboard. No, I just want to stick with the mighty low resource fast and trustful stock keyboard.
Device Specs for someone who needs it:
- Xperia SP C5303
- Cyanogenmod 11 Kitkat (which is 4.4.4) nightly
- of-course prerooted (it's CM)
Thank you so much in advance if you are looking forward to help me Have a nice day.
Hello. I understand that one would not automatically gets reply on the forums, but doesn't there be anyone who at least know little about this matter?
Bumping this up
Last bump before I bump again a month later
Bump!! Abandoned for a month but I really still need a workaround for this.
one last sweet bump
It is most likely that the AOSP keyboard just doesn't have that language built in and as most aosp apps are left for dead by Google it would take someone to manually add the code into the AOSP keyboard on the source level. Just because the the main language changes doesn't mean the keyboard has the language.
