About this APK

It asks for 1 permission, 1 of them sensitive: write settings.

What's new in v1.03

1.01: Added Bulgarian Phonetic keyboard layout 1.02: Added a physical keyboard settings utility (useful for devices that do not correctly recognize an external keyboard as a full alphanumeric keyboard and therefore miss the physical keyboard settings in the standard settings application) 1.03: Added an option to hide the utility icon from launcher's app drawer

Description

From the listing uploaded by “leighakat”.

This application provides keyboard layouts for external USB/Bluetooth keyboards for all Android 4.1 and newer devices. The main purpose of this application is: - to allow the configuration of layout for keyboards erroneously not shown in Settings app - to provide keyboard layouts missing from the standard Android external keyboard set. (Also, some manufacturers do not include the external keyboard layouts package at all...) - to fix issues of the commonly distributed keyboard layouts (e.g. non working Caps Lock for some national characters - namely Czech and Slovak key layouts) There's no unnecessary background service or input method added. This is just a pure system solution for keyboard configuration as intended in Android since 4.1 JellyBean release. Suggestions for inclusion of additional layouts or fixing of bugs in the current layouts are welcome. Currently supported layouts: Armenian Eastern Belgian Brazilian Bulgarian Bulgarian Phonetic Croatian Czech Czech QWERTY Danish English (UK) English (US) English (US), International style English (US), Colemak style English (US), Dvorak style Estonian Finnish French French (Canada) German Greek Hungarian Hungarian QWERTY Icelandic Italian Norwegian Polish Portuguese Russian Russian, Mac style Slovak Slovak QWERTY Slovenian Spanish Swedish Swiss French Swiss German Turkish Ukrainian

External Keyboard APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the External Keyboard APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Unknown. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 6974297b60e938b211dc35b07a1d37a8.
