With custom ROMs installed I have a QWERTY keyboard on my tab. I would like to change the keyboard layout to QWERTZ - how can I do that? Thank you very much!
I'm not sure if you can change the android or samsung keyboard to QWERTZ, but you can use SwiftKey Tablet X, there are many layout including QWERTZ
How can I create a custom input style for the Google Keyboard, like the PC layout that comes standard? There must be a way to do this. We really need something now that Google has totally bunged up the default QWERTY layout with that latest update, removing the apostrophe and hyphen keys and hiding them on the symbol keyboard, and removing almost all the long-press combinations. Thanks!
Did you find a way?
Hello.
I have the Nexus 9 with an external HTC Folio keyboard. I want to add Bulgarian (Cyrillic) with a phonetic layout. The only Bulgarian option is an Android keyboard with a different layout. Any suggestions how to do this?
The Planet Computers Gemini PDA comes with many possible keyboard layouts.
A full list has been comprised over at the OESF forum, which you can check out here.
Most Gemini's will not have the correct layout configured out of the factory.
The manufacturer has released this app, Gemini Keyboard.
It allows you to set the device's keyboard layout to your chosen layout.
Setting the right layout through this app will let you use all special characters of your chosen keyboard layout.
Intro
I've needed just a good physical keyboard from my YogaBook, so no smart features or wacky touchpal's behavior (layout switching on multilingual keyboard).
After some research I've came to a solution and made an apk:
YogaBook Holo Keyboard
This application will turn your Holo Keyboard into usual physical keyboard (no touchpal, no smart input, etc).
It will allow you to type faster (cause of lack of smart features), and to switch to another layouts with custom shortcuts.
It comes with movable floating notification with current keyboard layout.
No root required.
Notice
IT IS NOT A VIRTUAL KEYBOARD!
You need to switch to other input method (swift keyboard, gboard, etc) to use virtual keyboard.
This only will work on Lenovo Yoga Book YB1 with Android onboard.
It was tested on YB1-X90L with Nougat 7.1.1 (software version: YB-X90L_171013) but it should also work on F version and older android (probably).
Features
Switch to different layout (supported by holo keyboard)
Customize some shortcuts
Floating notification with current layout
Switching modes: Global or Per application
No touchal (it is just plain physical keyboard now)
No root required
Installation
Download and check MD5 checksum of the latest build (use link or download it from the attachments) (MD5: 39b36e2fab27de1e74d97e19eae157e0)
Enable installation from Unknown sources (Settings -> Security -> Unknown sources)
Upload apk to your tablet and install
Go to Settings -> Languages & input -> Virtual keyboard -> Manage keyboards
Enable YogaBook Holo Keyboard and go back
Tap on the YogaBook Holo Keyboard entry to open Settings
Add layouts that you need by clicking Add layout button (you can reoder them later or remove)
Go to Nofications and enable Floating Notification (you will be prompted to give it some permissions (to draw over other apps))
When notification will appear in bottom-left corner you can move it to any desired location by touch-and-drag it.
Go to Shortcuts and make sure, that your configuration is correct
Switch to YogaBook Holo Keyboard input method (i.e. by pressing F10)
Enjoy!
Additional information
Available layouts were decompiled from firmware, so that list may be wrong or incomplete for some layouts.
Not all shortcuts will work due to Lenovo's code (i.e. ctrl+space, some specific keys, etc). Maybe i will make some workarounds, but you shouldn't rely on this.
Future Plans
Add custom shortcuts for different actions (open an app, etc)
Clean up code
P.S.
Feel free to post any bugs or proposals here (there is a chance that i will made some into app)
