you have to manual install.
1. extract all files.
2. move the ''LatinImeGoogle.apk'' to /system/app; long press on APK, choose change permissions, now make the ticks like in attached picture.
3. move the ''libjni_latinimegoogle.so'' to /system/lib; like above, long press, & change permissions.
4. reboot system, then go to settings & activate keyboard

Did you uninstall google keyboard like it said to in the original thread before flashing?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

I also flashed without an issue, and yes, I uninstalled Google keyboard first. It is part of the instruction set, you know... And I'm not one to take chances like that :)

This worked great. I love the look and it seems google finally figured out how to give more word choices. Does anyone know if there's a way to enable the long-press secondary keys? Its the one thing that slows down my typing.

Uninstalled Google Keyboard first.
Flashed in Safestrap recovery.
Worked.

I managed to change the theme to material, but is there any way to get it material white?

Does this keyboard have the numbers across the top or are they long press?

Can someone please post the permisions needed for "libjni_latinime.so"? I went and changed them thinking I was changing "libjni_latinimegoogle.so" :silly: And seems due to my error, I cant get the new keyboard. Instead I get the old version.

Thanks :good:

What about rooted but no recovery?

My S5 is rooted but doesn't have a custom recovery because I don't plan on doing any heavy modding, like flashing ROMs or anything. The 'no-root' apk didn't work, but I can't flash a zip... What do I do?
