Description of External Keyboard

This application provides keyboard layouts for external USB/Bluetooth keyboards for all Android 4.1 and newer devices.
The main purpose of this application is:
- to allow the configuration of layout for keyboards erroneously not shown in Settings app
- to provide keyboard layouts missing from the standard Android external keyboard set. (Also, some manufacturers do not include the external keyboard layouts package at all...)
- to fix issues of the commonly distributed keyboard layouts (e.g. non working Caps Lock for some national characters - namely Czech and Slovak key layouts)
There's no unnecessary background service or input method added. This is just a pure system solution for keyboard configuration as intended in Android since 4.1 JellyBean release.
Suggestions for inclusion of additional layouts or fixing of bugs in the current layouts are welcome.
Currently supported layouts:

What's New with External Keyboard 1.04

1.02: Added a physical keyboard settings utility (useful for devices that do not correctly recognize an external keyboard as a full alphanumeric keyboard and therefore miss the physical keyboard settings in the standard settings application)
1.03: Added an option to hide the utility icon from launcher's app drawer
1.04: Corrected link to physical keyboard settings for Android 7 and newer; added additional keyboard layouts

  I'm so happy that I found it! While I no longer use the traditional Bulgarian phonetic keyboard layout, it is still a way easier than BDS, which for me, makes no sense. Please add the newer variant where the letter V corresponds to В in Bulgarian and not to Ж as in traditional phonetic keyboard layout. Thanks in advance!

  This application gave me the Bulgarian phonetics layout in order to use it with an external bluetooth keyboard with my tablet. I tried with other applications but unsuccessfully. It is exactly what I needed.thanks. the keyboard is bkb-10, Samsung

  Currently does not work on Galaxy Tab S4. Wanted to add Bulgarian Phonetic to the Cover keyboard that comes with the tablet, but after purcahse and installation, no additional layouts were added to the Physical keyboard settings menu. Tried to run the app, but it either gives an error that it keeps closing or it's a black screen with nothing on it. Restarted. Same issue. Will refund. I really needed this to work.
