I will be attempting to port the kernel patch that worked on gemini/cosmo, and will report back here whether it still works.

It doesn't look like the patch mentioned fixes this?

Could someone explain what this issue is? Spurious inputs?
The problem is the way the keyboard is wired; the keys are scanned in a matrix of "horizontal" and "vertical" connections, when more then 2 switches are pressed at the same time, other keys appear to be pressed as well; the typical workaround for this is to not handle any new keypresses when more then 2 keys are down. There was indeed a patch for this for the gemini; this was reported upstream to PC but of course this never made it into the official images.

The ghosting patch seems to work! I will try to clean it up and post it on Github this weekend.

Could you please tell us how to build and install the Android kernel?

I don't think I have this ghosting problem, but the keyboard doesn't always responds very well, especially the space bar, I have to press really hard to make it work. Sometimes this goes for other keys as well. Not sure if it's a hardware or software issue, because the slower I type, the less issues there seem to be.
This is a problem I have noticed in the space bar. You must press at the center or on the left. If you press on the right it gets worse. Cosmo does not have this problem.

Is there a way to adjust this? (US keyboard).

Another keyboard issue is the 'del'-button: when pressing this it deletes the last 2 digits, not just the last 1, why is this? Looks like this is not a hardware but a software issue.Mine deletes just 1 digit. Tried in google, whatsapp, etc

And it looks like it's a Microsoft-issue... at least on some laptops:

I've found a simple way to fix the space bar issue, just put a small piece of tape next to the little clamb in the middle:Thanks. But for me didn' t work this way.
But works according to the attached photo.
I put a small piece of a cushion for sax mouthpiece ( yes, I am also a sax player ).
Thank you so much.

I'm so glad it works now, without working space bar the keyboard is hardly of any use.
