→Multi boot Android-Linux firmware (Sailfish OS + Debian options)
* Once the Gemini keyboard application is updated, run the app, select the '''Configure''' option and simply follow the on screen instructions.
==Configuring the Gemini Keyboard Layout (US Language/Keyboard layoutEnglish example)==In this section we will see how to configure Gemini for a specific language and keyboard layout, in this case US English US. Please make sure that you have the latest Gemini Keyboard app from the Google Play Store (see the previous section to update the keyboard application before start).
# Run the Gemini keyboard application and select the "Configure" option.<br /><br />[[File:Config-US-S1-1-C.png|center|800x400px|center|border]]<br /><br /># Tap on "Select your preferred language" and select your language. Optionally, you can remove any other language. Your screen should look like the following<br /><br />[[File:Config-US-S1-8-C.png|center|800x400px|center|border]]<br /><br /># Tap the back button to go back to the configurator<br /><br />[[File:Screenshot_20180504-153431.png|center|800x400px|center|border]]<br /><br /># Now tap on "Enable Gemini Keyboard". From the list that will popup you should choose the Gemini keyboard option. We strongly recommend to deselect all the other methods, as having multiple method enabled can easily confuse users. Your screen should look like the following<br /><br />[[File:Screenshot_20180504-153440.png|center|800x400px|center|border]]# Tap the back button to go back to the configurator<br /><br />[[File:Config-US-S3-1-C.png|center|800x400px|center|border]]# Tap on "Switch input method" and select the Gemini Keybord input method. You should see only one method here. If you see multiple methods, start this process again and make sure you remove the other methods as explained in point 4.<br /><br />[[File:Screenshot_20180504-153449.png|center|800x400px|center|border]]
# Tap the back button to go back to the configurator<br /><br />[[File:Config-US-S4-1-C.png|left|800x400px|border]]<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
# Finally tap on Configure your keyboard layout to select the appropriate layout. Please make sure that you select a "Gemini Keyboard" and not an "Android Keyboard", otherwise some keys will not work as expected. See the first option in the following screenshot <br /><br />[[File:Screenshot_20180504-1535182.png|left|800x400px|border]]<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
When the Gemini is OFF, press Esc(On) key for around one second to initiate the booting process. Immeditately after that, the unit will vibrate, and after a few seconds the screen will turn ON. When the screen turns ON, the Gemini will check the status of the Esc (On) key and of the side silver button. Based on the status of those buttons there are 4 possible booting modes:
* Boot 1: Both Esc (On) key and side button are not pressed. This is the default booting option when no keys or buttons are pressed.* Recovery Mode: Esc (On) is pressed. This will always boot into overy recovery mode.* Boot 2: Side silver right-end side button is pressed.* Boot 3: Both Esc(On) key is pressed and Side silver right-end side button is also are pressedat the same time* <span style="color: #252525; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif; font-size: 15.008px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; display: inline !important; float: none;">Keep the keys/buttons pressed until the screen turns ON.</span>
