Hi,stupid question and probably answered somewhere already but i dont find it. Is there a way to theme the latest Xperia keyboard build? In earlier version i remember that could always choose my layout type and then also choose the key background colour and so on,but this seems to have fallen away.
Is there any way that i can make the keyboard dark with white letters etc without rooting my phone first? I would love to know if there is some way of doing so. Thanks
I assume you are talking about the old xperia keyboard that you installed yourself? since the xz2 comes default with swiftkey

No,im talking about the Chinerge version of the Xperia keyboard. My XZ2 came with Swiftkey and the Xperia keyboard for Chinese and Japanese pre-installed.

I really like the X2 keyboard (Sony Ericsson X2 XT9 Keyboard.zip), but I find that sometimes it just doesn't do anything and I have to switch to another keyboard. Does anyone else have this problem and does anyone know how to solve it? Perhaps my cab is bad?
Thanks
does it not change colour, i mean i saw a white layout as well...but mine is only a black and athe super cool golden feel when u touch it..,
Anyone around here that got an totally, black coloured keyboard that is working on .67 and wants to share it with me? It shall replace the original grey / white one..
I tried out two but they both force closed on me constantly, so i went with swiftkey which has some black skins that look nice.

Oh.. That's an shame, because I need black skinned keyboard (that can handle rotation!!) that is working on .67 Firmware..
I dony know if you tried it yet, but there is a black skinned keyboard in the mods section of the Criskelo rom thread, thats one that didnt work for me, but his rom is based on stock 67 so its worth trying.
I have this problem, when I change a theme of UI, it changes google keyboard layout. I use Kitkat keyboard with CM10 Mini rom. Kitkat keyboard is the only one I like, because it doesn't use many resources and I can change long press duration. Is this problem solvable?

It should depend from them-to-theme. Which theme are you using?
tried simplex, simplex blue, lunar, ubuntu - all the same
It's seems that it's know bug.

well, thanks anyway. t.y. ačiū
Does anybody know such theme? All the old themes doesn't have custom softkeys so when used, it uses the default rounded home button. What i want is to have Xperia XZ softkeys on my XZ1. Thanks all.

Hello,
It looks like Sony quietly removed the themes feature from Xperia home in XZ3/android Pie.
Does that mean that the feature will also be removed from the other xperia devices when they get their taste of android Pie?
They killed the small apps feature in Nougat even though some apps were paid apps and now it looks like they will do the same for themes.
For the sake of all the themes I have bought since the feature appeared on the Xperia Z familly, I hope this is just a temporary absence.
By the way they should also stop to waste time on things like dynamic vibration or side sense both are more annoying than useful.
If some one knows how to reactivate the themes on XZ3, her or his help would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks
Probably because the current themes available control the status bar and nav bar along with nav icon buttons.
If the theme manager app controls them, then maybe the pixel shifting effect to counter burn in will stop too.
Interestingly, downloading themes still works and the wallpapers attached to the theme become available in wallpaper selector. Meaning its definitely something to do with the bars that Sony wants their own software to control.

Samsung S8/9 and note 8/9 have a similar theme app allowing to change the nav bar appearance. That makes me think preventing oled screen burns is a less likely reason than the new navigation mode in Android Pie which is absent on XZ3 anyway.
I have also noticed that the time is now displayed on the left side of the status bar (ripple effect of the notch ???) and it is no longer possible to activate System UI Tuner as in previous Android versions.
I guess we will know when Android Pie roll on previous XZ phones.

This sucks to be honest. I can't even download themes. Hopefully this gets rectified. Sony did have a few decent themes.
...and Xperia Actions has been dumped which is annoying for me as I used it quite a bit.
I've never had a desire for themes because with LCD there's no difference between a light and dark interface, and literally the moment Sony gives us an OLED phone there's no dark theme available.
Thank god themes are still available in xz2 Pie update.

Only about the themes ? Lol siriously
Buy xz2
Already bought one, despite the ugly design and the removal of the jack. I also have the xz2 premium.
Now there is nothing left that made xperia phone special for. I will go back to xz premium that is more complete and compelling than any of the 2018 line up.
