One of the most determining elements in the user experience of the Android operating system is the keyboard. Some mobile manufacturers incorporate their own keyboard in the customization layer, as is the case of Sony and its quality is so good that we will show you how to use the keyboard of the Sony Xperia on any Android smartphone .
Currently there are many keyboards in Play Store as SwiftKey or the well-known Google keyboard, but if at some point we had a Sony Xperia device, perhaps your keyboard has conquered our hearts and we miss it.
The truth is that the keyboard of the Xperia is available in the Play Store , but its installation is limited to the models of the manufacturer Sony . A developer of the community XDA-Developers whose nickname is yener90 , has managed to carry the Xperia keyboard code to be compatible with all Android devices .
To install this keyboard do not need root permissions and according to the developer has been tested in the versions of Android KitKat, Lollipop and Marshmallow without problems or incompatibilities.
To enjoy this keyboard you have to download the APK file of the most recent version (the v7.3.A.0.54 at the moment of writing the article) from the XDA-Developers forum itself and then install it on your device the way habitual.
As it is an APK file external to Google Play and it is also a keyboard application, Android will show us several warnings during the installation process, which we can accept without any problem.
Once installed the new keyboard, you have to go to the general settings of your device and look for an option similar to "Language and keyboard" or "Language and text input" , this will vary depending on the brand of your smartphone. Within this options section, you can now select the new keyboard, which should appear with the name "Xperia Keyboard" .
