I’m trying to build my own degoogled ROM for me, so what are you suggesting? For now I’m on OpenBoard.

Used OpenBoard, but switched to Florisboard because OpenBoard seems abandoned and the developer of FlorisBoard came back with an update of what he’s working on. So far I’m not mad, the lack of autocorrect did make my typing much better. But as a dyslectic person I can’t wait for proper autocorrect to be implemented.

Definitely Florisboard as it has the most features and best theming support but I was using AnySoftKeyboard in the past and it’s okay too.

It hasn’t been updated in like a year and there is no spell correction. Am I missing something or is this just an acceptable tradeoff for you?

The next release of FlorisBoard should come soon (hopefully) after the main dev finishes the NLP core implementation. Even if not, I still don’t mind using it.

Spell correction works but isn’t implemented that well. You need to change the default Android spell checker and then find some raw dictionary of words. But it works in the end.

I second FlorisBoard due to gesture typing even though it’s got room for improvement. Couldn’t get gesture to work reliably with AnySoft.

Now if Florisboard had kaomoji and gifs like Gboard, it’d be perfect (╥﹏╥ )

There’s a gesture tying (swipe) fork of open board as well which is simply brilliant: https://github.com/erkserkserks/openboard. The problem with FlorisBoard for now is the lack of autocorrect.

Just installed and tested it. Not bad, I must say. Is it still in development? Last update was Sept. 2022
I giggled over the individual keys for

Definitely FlorisBoard. I’ve also tried AnySoftKeyboard and some others in the past, and I think FlorisBoard is the best.
