Is it possible to get the AOSP Keyboard without having to install an AOSP ROM?

Google keyboard is in the play store.

There is a Google Keyboard and then there is an AOSP keyboard

They are essentially one and the same. The only difference is that one doesn't offer to back up to your Google account. I have both on my 6P and the AOSP is missing a few settings but overall the same thing as it always has been

Doesn't the AOSP keyboard have punctuation/symbols as longpress options on the keys? They also show up by default instead of having to longpress to see the alternate keys.

Yes it does, but so does the Google one, at least it does right now. I have both on my phone and just checked by long pressing the 'a' key

Oh woops. I don't know why I thought I read your version as newer than mine. That's an older version than the one on my phone. I don't think it's going to help.

It's no problem, I use the AOSP one normally so i don't keep the Google one up to date on occasion.

That's not an easter egg, that's a one-off predition of a word it doesn't know. I do like that it knows that word, however. I am also a fan.

Don't mean to hijack the thread but I'm just curious to know why Swiftkey requires full internet access.

My guess would be because it downloads language files when you install it.

I installed it using root explorer. Obviously the keys are smaller than they should be but it looks really good. Auto correct is working great as well.

nice can u post up a screen shot wondering how small it looks lol
Ill have to do it when I get home. It isn't overly small and looks pretty sleek. Ill post a pic a little later when im done work. You should just install it and check it out. I can almost guarantee its not to small for the tab. It actually helps me type better. Its as wide as the whole screen just not as tall as the stock keyboards but yields no issue. I actually prefer the size.

So now we got the keyboard... how about porting the whole system now?
No seriously, what can we do with the system.img from the sdk?
I'm downloading the SDK now. I'll pick apart as much as I can. I want to see if that fancy new launcher will be an easy port. I'm going to try the keyboard out on my Tab and myTouch 4g now.

The launcher is on the market already. I tried it last night and it works fine. I still like LPP more though.

Guys, try this one what I uploaded. (Dont know if its exactly the same as my)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pVhyIV8K8pCmyd6T3RX6EZGE-mbPRzQl/view?usp=drivesdk
Thank you so much, but I think this is a modded player. Not an official one

It is in English. Because most of the catalog is in chinese, that is why it feels the app is hard-coded in Chinese language.
Edit:
The app is great. However, the reason you got the update is because it is available for your region only. Same goes for the Online service which you should be able to access but we can't.

Go to settings: apps, then music app and click on the menu option (on the top, right) and choose uninstall update.

It could be due to any background running apps or less internal memory too.
Try shutting down your phone and do a cold boot and see if it helps. Otherwise let's just wait till the Oreo update rolls out and fixes everything.
Never mind.

I don't think so.May be one update reached.Not sure.I am not using it right now.
It's ok. I am probably not going to use it either. I was a little interested in it because of the Play Sore locking which seems to be resolved now. Thanks for your guide.

Yes battery works nicely than any other firmware,if you optimized apps well.
Yeah, it certainly may last for more than a week in always-on-mode. I've never seen a phone like this;; looks far better optimized than Xiaomi's. Great! :good:

Yeah, what I meant by always-on-mode is extremely power-saving mode, the blank screen except a clock maybe. No processors on-going background is still not enough for most of the smart phones to last for couple of days. So pls don't feel sarcastic. :victory: Maybe I am talking too much on your forum???

You can uninstall most of app from flyme from settings. Some of them that we can count in fingers can be moved to a folder and never open it in future. Or else you can unistall those apps with root.

What did you do? Because, if you root the phone, you lose OTA updates, if you choose to put those remaining apps in a folder, can we freeze/stop them so they cannot work in background without using an app?

Using flyme security app, you can disable background access of those apps.Turnoff notification can permanently disable those apps in use.
