SwiftKey keyboard? - Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers

Can I not have a Sony Xperia English keyboard?
Do I have to use SwiftKey?
I'm my system all I can find is a Chinese and Japanese keyboard.
I am scared to try them as I'm scared it might change the whole phone language to Chinese and Japanese and I won't be able to reset....

here you can find xperia keyboard apk.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-xz2-compact/themes/keyboard-t3841846/post78058151
or you can install anything you want from the store, like gboard
of course you aren't forced to use SwiftKey, but you can't disable it. to do that, you must be rooted, or you can also uninstall it via adb

I downloaded JF4_v4_1.zip, extracted the following files and libraries and copied them to /system/app and /system/lib accordingly:
DioChineseIME.apk
libKeyboardCN.so
libDHWRCN.so
libRecomWord.so
And.... it works!!! Only downside is: it's Simplified Chinese but I want Traditional Chinese. Is there Taiwanese version of it? It seems to me that Singapore is using Simplified Chinese and Taiwan is the only country in the world to use Traditional Chinese. It looks so much more beautiful! Can someone please help me with that? Your support is very much appreciated!!

Ah, so Traditional Chinese is now supported in the new version. Too bad because I am now addicted to DioPen, with both PinYin and Stroke input. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I will keep Google PinYin for a while until I can find the Traditional Chinese for DioPen.
Please, anyone from Taiwan here who owns a Samsung Galaxy S? I want to have Traditional Chinese support in DioPen! Please anyone? Thanks in advance!

Not true, Malaysia uses traditional Chinese, and also Hong Kong SAR too.
Also Google PinYin supports Traditional Chinese both pinyin and stroke. As mentioned by Roy Ngan, once you checked on Google PinYin, below that go to the Google PinYin and check traditional chinese.
Just check out the settings.

Hi anyone already flashed this FW? Can somebody tell me if it has DioPen with Traditional Chinese? I installed DioPen on my European FW but too bad I got a simplified Chinese version. I really need the Traditional one... please, who can help me out? I am at the verge of installing this FW on my Samsung Galaxy S european version but am reluctant since I don't know what hardware differences are there? Is it safe to do?

Hi g00ndu, I'm sorry but what did you mean? I have Google PinYin installed with Traditional Chinese but I prefer the DioPen method. I can write Chinese in a box instead of choosing the strokes in Google PinYin... if I have offended you in any way please forgive me
You can try touchpal, very powerful chinese ime

I'm using Rods MIUI rom Rusty, what about you? Any ideas why I can't see UK apps in the Market? All apps come up either as:
~$PRICE
or
US$PRICE
Nothing at all for UK :-(
Ah, intesting.
I presume you've got your location/languages set right? I assume it's defaults are probably not UK English.

Browser (web) when I checked locales shows as en-gb just did a basic test with a PHP script, not sure what else to check?
The English setting (if I select it) e.g. without Locale / MoreLocale goes to United States, How can you default the entire android system locales to UK?
Pop into the Keyboard & Language settings and see what the current language is. English UK is the one you'd want to be on, I presume.

Yea this is the problem matey, I go into that select English it makes it US english? Nothing in there for UK?
Ah yes, that is a problem then. I guess the folks de-Chineseifying MIUI (or the MIUI creators) haven't added UK support.

People are using that Locales application that did change it to United Kingdom when I viewed Keyboard settings etc but it seems rather a pseudo method than a real locale change to the android sub-system! :-(
Any ideas?

I need to install Hebrew language on my device.
Not ever what i do: installed anysoftkey with it's add-ons, installed morelocal2 and i also defined my keboard to "anysoftkey" and my system language to"morelocal2" it just refuse to show me hebrew...
Wher ever it supposes to show hebrew words it shows " " (empty chars...).
I just cannot see hebrew... not in the internet explorer, not at massages and not at my system.
Please, i can't use it with no hebrew.
If you want to add the language just to the keyboard I can help you, but to add it in the rom...sorry I don't know how,I never needed it, use google for more info
Edit:now that I am thinking about it, for the keyboard you can download one from play store that has the option to download languages...like go keyboard

anyway what did u do
The funny thing is - your guide sucks. Removing velvet.apk removes Google launcher and you have to manually open Google now-Google search to use it and OK Google function. + learn proper English or use auto correction. I don't speak English to, but I do my best to be understood.
His guide didnt work for me the first time either but I kept trying, even with different launchers I think the trick for me was rebooting before installing Google search and then again after. Now it works. My friend also did this, it worked for him as well. I'm not saying this WILL work for you but its worth a try good luck.
