[KK][JB][ICS]Google Keyboard 4.0 [Working]

[ChinmayKunkikar]

Hello world,

As many of us have already seen this on Android Police, here's the new Google Keyboard version 4.0 from the Android 5.0 Lollipop Preview which was released yesterday!

As per the source, it doesn't work just by side-loading the app, a library(from /system/lib/) called libjni_latinimegoogle.so from the Android 5.0 Lollipop Preview is also needed to run this.

Note - There are some issues regarding side-loading the app ('App not installed').

This is somewhat different than the previous port as this is v4.0.21003.1519572

Changes from the previous version-

• Added 'Material Light' theme (keeping Material Dark, Holo White and Holo Blue for option).
• Overhauled the 'Settings' screen.
• More keyboard layouts added including QWERTY, QWERTZ, AZERTY, Dvorak, Colemak, and PC.
• Support for new languages.
• New animations.

Screenshots -

I've just made it flashable zip that will install it as a system app so that it cuts out the time required for manual installation after ROM flashing and also reduces the issues regarding side-loading.

The Dark theme is more dark now. Loved it.

works on lg g3 too but i also have problems on landscape mode.. it crashes on some apps like tapatalk, facebook and google+.. but landscape works fine on stock messaging and viber..

Yes same thing works for keep and stock messaging app but crashes hangouts and XDA app. Not a deal breaker for me living here on the edge waiting for apps to catch up with updates is rather common.

On 4.03ics it's working in portrait, not at all in landscape. I like that it has more characters than my stock keyboard, such as the pipe. Darker theme is nice.

Yes I confirmed it.

It works on stock messaging app, keep.
Crashes on Hangouts, XDA App, Tapatalk, Facebook and Google Plus on landscape mode.

As this version is directly from the source (Android Police), I cannot be sure to fix it.

Can someone please give me their logcat? (I don't have a computer to work on right now)
