Gmscore: Reimplement library for AOSP keyboard swiping

Created on 26 Dec 2017 · 6Comments · Source: microg/GmsCore

The libjni_latinimegoogle.so is a tiny proprietary bit for the AOSP keyboard, which provides the swipe feature. You can extract and install it and it just works, but it would be better to have it available directly. (Also in LineageOS for microG.)

For that maybe consider to reimplement (or reverse-engineering) it too. I don't know why Google thought such a thing must be kept secret…

I also miss that badly … any chance? The work-around described by @rugk at Android.SE unfortunately didn't work for me (LOS 14.1 / Android 7.1.2 on gohan, ie. BQ Aquaris X5 Plus). Magisk seems to be the culprit here: the file didn't stick after copy and reboot (edit: managed while booted into TWRP, using Aroma file manager to copy the file).
