Earlier today we shared android L boot animation which can be installed on any device and now we are sharing Google Android L keyboard port which can be installed on any device ( Xperia and other devices ) courtesy of XDA user bejunk. Google has changed the keyboard layout to a material design color scheme including blue and white.

Google Android L keyboard port can be installed on any rooted device. You can use this keyboard besides your current keyboard. You get the new emoji icons, new color themes and more flexible and fluid keyboard. Gesture swiping input is working great. We tested this keyboard on our Xperia Z1.
