Japanese Keyboard/input

Hi.
I’m Japanese.
I tried to install flick keyboard and hardware keyboard for Japanese input.
It looks like both patches from storeman did not work (patchmanager ended up with 'patch activation failed).
I’m seeking the way to activate them or any other way to use Japanese input with flick key and/or BT keyboard.
Is there any ongoing project or workaround to avoid errors in the patch manager ?

Hi,
I wrote a fix for the patch itself some 4 years ago here : GitHub - razcampagne/jolla-kbd-flick-jp: Japanese flick-style keyboard for Sailfish OS

But since then the flick part was broken by another sfos update so I think you’re stuck with the standard keyboard+anthy.

If I have time I might have a look but I can’t promise anything.

Hello,
I am one of the developers of the sfos-ja initiative. Currently I don’t have any Sailfish OS devices to develop or test patches on to keep developing the keyboard, but with a bit of help, I could fix the patch or make do a pull request to an already existing one to keep this project afloat.

I could also invite developers willing to take over the development into the sfos-ja github organization. Let me know if you’re willing to assist me in this.
