Hello.
So I had been looking forward to updating to Jelly Bean for a while, and yesterday I finally noticed it was available. I am from Lithuania. So I updated. And I have to be honest - I hate it. I don't like Google Now, I don't like how the Google search widget doesn't send me to my default browser anymore, I don't like how the notification menu is now stuck in portrait or landscape depending on how you enter it and it doesn't care if you turn your phone afterwards, and I swear to God the phone started lagging on some transitions and even became less responsive to touch at times. But I can put up with all that. However, there's one thing that really did it for me.
For years I've been used to a Lithuanian keyboard, even when I was an iOS user. If I wanted a Lithuanian character, I had to hold a certain English character and the Lithuanian one would just pop up. That's the best and the only way to have it, in my opinion. But this is how Jelly Bean decided to improve it:
Oh man, I hate that. No option to change it back. I don't need those characters there, not to mention all other buttons are way smaller now.
Now, I don't want any other custom keyboards from the market, I've tried them. I want the original Samsung keyboard from ICS with Lithuanian characters.
I rooted the phone yesterday and I have reason to believe it has something to do with the icudt48l.dat file in system/usr/icu. But that's just a guess.
My question is, could fixing this be as easy as taking a file from someone who's still on ICS and using it on my Jelly Bean?
OR, since I see nothing good about Jelly Bean so far, maybe it would be a good idea to just downgrade to ICS?
