Solution

  • So, finally got answer to my own question :

    Move to framework/base/packages/keyguard/res/layout And modify keyguard_password_view.xml node EditText by removing/commenting android:imeOptions="flagForceAscii|actionDone"

    <EditText android:id="@+id/passwordEntry"
                 android:layout_width="0dip"
                 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                 android:layout_weight="1"
                 android:gravity="center_horizontal"
                 android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
                 android:layout_marginStart="@dimen/keyguard_lockscreen_pin_margin_left"
                 android:singleLine="true"
                 android:textStyle="normal"
                 android:inputType="textPassword"
                 android:textSize="36sp"
                 android:background="@null"
                 android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
                 android:textColor="#ffffffff"
               <!--android:imeOptions="flagForceAscii|actionDone" -->
           />

    And now it will allow non-ASCII keypad to be launched.
