What keyboard are you using on android?

I’m getting it straight from GitHub using Obtainium which allows automatic updates.

I may be wrong here, but isn’t IzzyOnDroid just taking APKs from the source repo and put them in their F-Droid repo? So, in theory, there isn’t any problem about the security issues of F-Droid, right?

Thanks! I see you can get Obtainium from either Github or F-Droid (which I already use). Does it matter where it’s from?

It doesn’t really matter, but since you’re already using F-Droid, you might as well use it.

Hi, does someone know of an open source, actively maintained keyboard with glide typing ? Especially in no English languages. And autocorrect and suggestions.

Heliboard is a very good FOSS keyboard, but for glide typing it needs to import and use an extenal library that is not open source.

Not entirely FOSS (they call themselves FOSS, but others don’t, let’s not get into that debate) and I never personally used the gliding so not sure if it works well or not, but FUTO keyboard has that capacity.

Thanks! It is definitely not as good as Gboard (especially the swipe and voice typing, but even those are usable still!). I did not thought it was that advanced. They still it is “unfinished”, “in development”, “alpha”, etc.
I could download a voice model to import on my keyboard :+1:
