I want to reshape my input manually for each individual layer instead of using the setInputType ( ) which automatically reshape the input for each layer ?

Is there a way to do it??

@minyueyong could you clarify why you need to do that? You must be trying to work around a problem. I would prefer to solve the problem instead.
