[Request] Xperia keyboard - Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers

Hello all
I am quite annoyed with not having the Xperia keyboard..
Can anyone find a way that us who want it back can be able to install it by providing an apk or something, any suggestions are welcome
I am not rooted.
I cannot get it from Google play as it is incompatible with my Xperia xp.

It says that my unit is not compatible, or else I would have used that option.
I also wrote this in the first post!

Hi how do I install and use the xpa file? I can't stand the swift keypad layout, namely the location of the special characters which are all over the place and don't make any sense compared to the nice xperia layout I'm used to. A bad move by Sony considering how nice my XZ is. Such a fundamental problem forced on us is not cool.
If I use the xperia keyboard from that file will it update or would I have to do that manually?

Did you download from the link provided on page one? It downloads an .apk file. You need to go to settings/lockscreen and security/unknown sources and tick the box then it will install. Then go to settings/languages and inputs/ on-screen keyboard then click the manage keyboards tab and select xperia keyboard and turn that horrible swiftkey off. And you will have to update manually, just download the newest version and install over the top.

Magnificent! Thanks so much! Typing this on my fantastic, simple, intuitive, and far less bloated Xperia keypad. I guess it doesn't really need updating if it works. I've set the dictionary to update automatically.
My days, it's so much cleaner and better and the special characters and numbers page makes so much more sense. On the swiftkey version it's all over the shop.
Thanks again! Brilliant! Sony need to sort this out as default again...

ASUS Keyboard 3.0.0.0

There is an ASUS keyboard in 4.1.2 but it is hidden. In order to show it:
REQUIRES ROOT AND TITANIUM BACKUP
1.Launch Titanium Backup
2.Go to Backup/Restore Tab
3. Unfreeze Asus Keyboard 3.0.0.0
4. Go to Language and Input and check ASUS Keyboard
5. Change input method to ASUS Keyboard
6. Enjoy!
EDIT: I am using 4.1.2 rooted stock rom.
Which ROM are you running? I don't see this at all on Bugless Beast 4.1.2.
Hmmm... I defrosted it in TB, but it's still not showing up in the language & input section.

I was wondering about this. I saw it in titanium after updating to 4.1.2
Never even thought about unfreezing to try. Nice xD

Thanks to the OP. I saw the Asus 3.0 keyboard awhile ago, but don't know to activate it. Now I can see it now and it's much better than stock with extra # row.

It didn't show up for me also after defrost. But this is it what I do after that, I make a TB backup and un-freeze Chrome then it show up.
Looks like a terrible keyboard anyway.. I'd smash my Nexus 7 by the 5000th time I pressed zero to backspace, or backspaced by accident while hitting enter.. Terrible design.
The keyboard did not show up for me. And Titanium Backup says the app is frozen again after a reboot.
Thanks. Using it now. MUCH better than stock. Its the same keyboard that is on my Asus TF300 and it makes switching between the two tablets easier to have everything in the same place.

Same here. I give up on this. I'll just keep using Swype xD.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I got the same thing too (didn't show up in Input Settings), but after some weird combination of doing things, it magically showed up.
Here's what I *think* triggered it:
-Unfreeze as per OP's instructions
-Open up an app that has an editable text field (I used Dolphin Browser)
-Click on the text field
-Swipe down on the Notification Bar and tap Choose Input Method
It was at this point that my N7 stuttered for a bit. Took a while for the keyboard switcher to display (the ASUS Keyboard wasn't a choice), but when I went back to Language & Input Settings, it was there and I didn't have to reboot.
Your millage may vary, but I'm using it now.

Thanks for the find. Defrosted correctly and works great. Much better than stock.

Just curious, are you guys using the free version of Titanium Backup or the Donate version?
Because with the free version I tried to re-freeze the app so I could try unfreezing again and it told me, "Sorry, apps can only be frozen/defrosted in the Donate version." It gave me no such message when I unfroze it, though.

I'll try to extract apk for free dictionary from L9. Saw it already and it enables you to download one dictionary of your liking.
But in the meantime You can just select Cancel while it's asking for one and still use it (it'll connect with google translate).
Sorry I haven't written that piece of information.
thank you
Working on CM10, tested
After re-install V20A its working fine.
Ask for the dictionary in the begining but, maybe because had as default Korean...
I tried Polski, Português, English, and no problem!
Its great!

Do we have to pay for dictionaries? It shows me only the one from Google Play that we have to pay?
Guys, this is thing is nearly useless, if you have to get into so much trouble just to get it on your phone. Why don't you, go and grab form the Play Store the free Google Translate app that now, also offers the download of dictionaries for offline use???

For me was like install any other app... But you're not completely wrong. The only "if" is that QTranslator is kinda exclusive and Google Translate don't exactly fit the captured text. We need select the area more far away cause after it gets bigger. If we select the text just inside of the screen limits, after gets kind of zoomed and gets out of screen... But like you said, they're almost the same.

As I see it, some apps can be converted to user app, such as the Camera. Whereas some apps like "Album" cannot.
That's how it is for me.
So there is definitely an issue...
You are lucky, since SOME apps still can be converted... I can't convert any: see pic of "camera" ("convert to user app" should be second from the bottom but doesn't exist/show up anylonger).
I also wrote the developer... Lets see!

Convert to User
I am new to this but found it in TBU Pro 6.3.1 under [Special Features] Create "update.zip" This creates a CWM flashable zip file as a user app.
Hope this helps someone.
Hey, any news about this? I have the same problem, cant find the option to convert any app to user app
Then complain to the developer of TiBU.
The support email is listed on the Play store listing.
You will surely get more help than asking people here that are nothing to do with developing the app.

I have just updated to latest release 6.1.4, there is option to convert to system so but not user app.
I never really used that option I only used convert to system app.

You should ask the swype team. They probably haven't set up the app to be compatible with the screen res properly.
I think most people have moved onto swiftkey these days.

I've used Kii Keyboard on this and on my 700. It allows you to customize the size of the keyboard in many ways. For example, the amount of space to the left of the keyboard, or to the right, the size of the keys, whether or not the arrow keys are displayed.

As far as I'm aware, they don't use the tablet version any more, Swiftkey have consolidated the app into just 'Swiftkey Keyboard'. I'm not sure if this means you'd have to buy it again, but that version works fine on my TF701. Have a read through the description on Play Store and it'll explain better than me.

The numbers on top has the stock ASUS keyboard.
Swiftkey for tablets you can't purchase anymore, only currrent users who bought it will get updates.
But the ASUS keyboard you can swipe on also.

That's what I was wondering too. I did mess with my res settings and after I set them back to default my keyboard was overly large. I force closed the keyboard (thumb keyboard in my case) and then went back into language settings and reset it as the default. Everything was groovy after that.
How do I change res setting
