Surprise, it actually does, although performance is laggy to the point of being unusable. Anyone who's used Gboard or Swiftkey for swipe-style typing knows how these apps leave these little 'trails' on your screen in the UI, to give you feedback on your swipe movements. The trails on the Likebook were incredibly slow to render and would linger too long, as the screen had trouble repainting fast enough to keep up. It did make for a few laughs, it looked downright bizarre as it got so far behind. In short, install Swiftkey only for entertainment but not to actually use. :-)

Interesting. I use Firefox in order to sidestep the forced A2 more in "Boyue's native browser", which is actually just the AOSP web browser from Android 4.0.
I also have Gboard installed, but only in order to get the "Google spell checker", and handwriting input, as I hate the fact that Gboard lacks the split keyboard, which the AOSP keyboard has.
