Jianlai Tutorials: Setup, Themes, Layouts and Input Checks

Enable the keyboard, then check input, themes, backgrounds, fonts, layouts and supported fields separately.

Start with the first tutorial About Jianlai

Establish input in a normal field before changing one appearance, layout or language setting at a time. Secure fields and apps declining third-party keyboards require separate checks.
