Hi
I'm currently using stock rom 4.1.B.0.587 (BL unlocked, rooted). I've tried a few custom roms in the past but never found one in which the hardware keyboard worked flawlessly (i.e. numeric, symbol and language select keys working). I'm finding there's some lag in the stock rom and would like to try new ones.
I've been to the developer forums looking at some of the more popular roms but it seemed to me all have problems dealing with XMP's hardware keyboard.
Is the only way to keep the hardware keyboard's complete functionalities to stick to stock rom?
Thanks
maybe you should try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38278250&postcount=65
Thanks for this. Would this work in JB based roms as well or just ICS?
You can try Cyanogen Mod 9, 10, or 10.1. I was try it and hardware keyboard work normally for me.

Hi,
im afraid it mostly is. You will currently not get a stock like keyboard experience on custom roms. If you are like me, you are missing stuff like autocompletion and spell check. Sony uses a custom keyboard for that - altought some people managed to the xperia S keyboard working on the Mini Pro, these features only work when you used the soft-keyboard.
I tried SwiftKey some time ago, if i remember correct, that gave me word suggestions as well in hardware keyboad. May you should try the free trial.

I need Arabic working on the Photon. Now we are rooted, unlocked, and have the full stock source. Who can take up the task of fixing Arabic?
Have you tried to download it from the market? I think the gingerbread keyboard supports a quite a few languages. Not sure if Arabic is one of them. But that's an idea.
It's not an issue of keyboard. The keyboard is fine. But the Photon, like every other Android device sold in the US, comes with a ROM that prints arabic characters disconnected and in their standard form. To Arabic readers/writers, it is almost impossible to read.
People in the dev forums have been making Arabic roms (and CM also supports Arabic) but the Photon has no such roms available.
It's a world phone that ironically can't display world languages.
Well once CM7 is released I am sure that issue will be fixed then.

I'm sorry to be annoying, but isn't there anyone that can patch the Arabic on the stock rom? It doesn't seem that reasonable that the dev community can't take this on without CM7.
Let me rephrase the question. Those that have the Alien and Star Wars builds.... have you found that Arabic is fixed?
(SOLVED) Arabic Working using CM7 Rom from cybik
Hi all,
I am just reporting that I got the Arabic working using the CM7 Rom from Cybik. It's working with GSM so can be used in the Middle East if needed. Arabic in all apps is fixed in CM7, Gmail, Messaging, Skype, etc.
However, I would like to use Arabic in one of the more stable ROMs (even though CM7 is awesome) because it seems this ROM saps battery life like a MoPho.
Will try Alien, Star Wars, and Homebase to see if any fix Arabic. None of the authors of those ROMs mention fixing Arabic so unfortunately I need to try them all.

I have been running AOKP on my galaxy nexus so decided id give it a try on the prime tablet. Everything runs great as expected (thanks and praise) however it seems there is no support for my Japanese keyboard.. Is there anyone in the same boat as me? Any possible solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Rooted rom with FSKaren
I just heard back from the developer/porter for the AOKP ASUS rom. He was very kind but unfortunately said, "Japanese isn't one of the included languages by Asus and is only supported on the full Japanese version of their stock software" So for now I flashed back to the original rom so i can still type with my dock in Japanese. I searched Japanese blogs and forums as well but only found interest in getting a Japanese keyboard supported rom. If anyone is interested in doing a rom with Japanese support I would be happy to do testing. I am not a programmer but I have been flashing roms with CWM for a while and fairly confident as long as there are some directions to read..

You could always try a software keyboard like Simeji till it is supported. My Bluetooth Japanese keyboard doesn't work on stock firmware either.

That is a good idea, thanks. Ill reflash this weekend to see if the qwerty key mapping is correct. I did try Google beta Japanese input but the key mapping was incorrect and typing in the dock with qwerty mode selected did not allow me to type in Japanese, only English.
Hi guys,
I'm in the same boat as you.
I'd love to have be able to have all the extra functionality and performance of a custom rom whilst also still retaining the ability to use the dedicated keyboard key on my Japanese TF201 dock to switch between English and Japanese.
I wonder how complicated the process would be to rip the keyboard's software from a stock rom and implement it into a custom rom..
I'm not a huge fan of the stock Japanese keyboard that ASUS provides though; it's laggy as hell and nowhere near as good at word prediction as say Simeji.
Is there no way to map the functinality to the key in order to change keyboards but with a different keyboard such as Simeji??
If anyone has any links to some Japanese language pages that might offer some Japanese TF201 roms which are likely to include the keyboard components, I'm sure we'd all be greatful!
I've had little luck finding anything so far
me too
I'm running AOKP on my japanese TF201 but the keyboard layouts (onscreen and physical) are screwed. Just searching for a way to flash back the last japanese firmware running on version 4.0.3 (my AOKP milestone 6.1 runs on 4.0.4). If anyone can point me to the right direction, I would definitely appreciate the help.
Hello everyone!
I have been using the stock sony rom but i rooted the phone,installed cwm and unlocked bootloader and im searching the best rom and kernel for gaming,battery and music. I recently tested CM 10.1 and its amazing. Im using it right now and i dont regret installing it but i hate the fact that bluetooth does not work and that when capturing a video lips are not synchronized with sound. So, tell me with your experience what do you use and what do you think better. it will help me a lot .
2) Something else, how can i install android 4.2 lockscreen (with the camera swipe and password ) to 4.1.2?
THANKS
Its a rule on xda to ask for 'best' stuff here. In XDA, no one is best.... Its all for you to find out.
I am using CM10.1 by percy_g2. It's best ROM i have ever used. Really smooth & lag free.
You can also try PAC.man.
I usually switch to many roms, and I find some of stock apps of particular roms very good (like miui music player, xperia keyboard etc.). So PLZ guys tell me the full procedure to port these apps universally for all roms. SO THAT I CAN GET ALL THE BEST THINGS IN ONE ROM.

I don't personally know but I am looking to learn everything i can about android. This is a great idea. If anyone knows, please notify OP and I if you can! Thanks! :good:
Hello Guys,
My girlfriend has a mini pro sk17a, which is the version with a 'ç' in the keyboard. Since she updated it to official ics, the cell phone really disappointed her.
I will load some custom roms, in order to see performance, but a simple question is, should any rom here in xda works with this type of keyboard.
I've read that is possible to set in the option 'Portuguese/Catalan keyboard' in a thread, but I didn't get if it was for that rom or all.
BTW, can someone suggest a rom that has little bug and a good camera? (just to start searching, mini pro has many option than my x8, I don't know how to start )
thanks all
