In the next post, I want to share with all of you, thanks of course to the research and development forum xdadevelopers, original samsung keyboard, in principle valid for all kinds of terminals with operating system Android.
Surely many of you will think that there are many better keyboards than this one in the Android application store, and you are probably right, the point is that many terminal users Samsung who have updated their terminal to unofficial versions of Android miss it, so this post is dedicated to all of them on how to re-flash the original samsung keyboard.
Requirements to install the original Samsung keyboard
The main requirement is to have a terminal rooted and the Modified recovery flashed correctly, here are some tutorials on how to get it in the main terminal models Samsung Best sellers:
- Samsung Galaxy S, update via odin to firmware 2.3.6 and its CF Root
- How to root Samsung Galaxy S2
- Samsung Galaxy S3, Root and Recovery on Android 4.1.2
- How to root and install ClockworkMod recovery on Samsung Galaxy tab p1000
As always before flashing anything in our terminal we will have to check that the USB debugging is activated as well as the fully charged battery.
In principle, this keyboard is used for a lot of Android terminals, not necessarily Samsung; the only way to check if it is compatible with your device model is by flashing it via Recovery, so it is essential to make a backup or Nandroid Backup before doing anything.
Required files
El original samsung keyboard To flash from the modified Recovery it will be a compressed zip file that we have available from this link.
Once downloaded we will have to copy it as is, without decompressing it in the root of the internal memory of our terminal, then restart in mode Recovery and proceed with the following steps:
Installation method
It is essential to make a Nandroid Backup of our current system, so if it is not compatible with your current rom, we can return the terminal to its state immediately prior to flashing and leave it as if nothing had happened.
The option of Nandroid Backup We have it available within the main Recovery menu within the option Backup and restore, we will only have to select the option of Nandroid Backup and make sure we have enough space on the device's internal sdcard.
Once we have the Nandroid Backup we will continue to install the original keyboard of Samsung through Recovery itself:
- Wipe cache partition
- Advanced / wipe dalvik cache
- Go Back
- Install zip from sdcard
- Choose zip from sdcard
- We select the zip of the original Samsung keyboard and confirm its installation.
- Reboot system now.
With this, you will have the native keyboard of your terminal correctly installed; I only have to comment, that for anyone who gave him any kind of problem such as forced closures. malfunction or that the terminal does not even restart, it may be because your rom is not compatible with the application, to return to the previous state you just have to go back to Recovery and recover the backup from the option Backup and restore, then select Restore and finally the file corresponding to the Nandroid Backup done previously.
