Summary:Stock keyboard
Description:
The current version comes with English, Spanish, Russian, Brazilian, Italian,
Despite the splash screen, there is no gesture typing in 4.4.2.
There is only limited amount of monochrome Emoji characters,
though they may be supplemented if you have another keyboard installed.
Other recent differences include: white hinting, quicker entry of user-defined
words, better suggestions in landscape and layout changes.
The current version comes with English, Spanish, Russian, PT-Brazilian, Italian,
German, French, dictionaries; there are more language word lists
in the repository but they'd need to be compiled.
There is the ability to input a limited amount of Emoji characters.
Note that you can't install this if you have a ROM that already has LatinIME.
The build recipe contains a package name change variable, but on Android 4.3
it still couldn't be installed as a user app; you'd have to
remove the original from /system/app via root, before installing this.
Of course, you can't install this if you have a ROM that already has
the com.android.inputmethod.latin package installed.
You could build it yourself with a different package name, but on Android 4.3
it still couldn't be installed as a user app, unless the original allowed
the dictionary provider to be exported, which is unlikely.
So, you'd have to remove the original from /system/app (and dalvik-cache)
via root, before installing this.

Maintainer Notes:
Note that, like other AOSP apps, there are now special tags with 'sdk' in them;
not sure what the difference is.
Possible tweaks:
Could compile with dictionary provider exported to allow access from other apps, but
of course it's only relevant if installing other similar packages ''after'' this; see,
https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/provider-element.html
sed -i 's/exported="false"/exported="true"/g' AndroidManifest.xml && \
Split up packages based on user dictionaries.
