[deleted] Can someone from the GrapheneOS team clarify if FlorisBoard is still the keyboard that will replace the AOSP keyboard when it gets word suggestions and autocorrect functionality? Or is there a different contender?
[deleted] investigator I'm talking about the default keyboard on GrapheneOS. If you are aware of that, then please link me to the source where it says that FlorisBoard will not replace the AOSP keyboard.
[deleted] This is where the talk about this ended: https://web.archive.org/web/20220803142758/https://github.com/florisboard/florisboard/issues/1921 Which isn't very promising.
matchboxbananasynergy The default keyboard app may or may not be replaced in the future, but whether it will be Florisboard or something else that replaces it is still unknown. [deleted] This is where the talk about this ended: https://web.archive.org/web/20220803142758/https://github.com/florisboard/florisboard/issues/1921 Which isn't very promising. The reason why that GitHub discussion is deleted and you had to find an archive of it is because things were talked out with Florisboard. We are not on bad terms with them. Just clearing the air there.
[deleted] matchboxbananasynergy If I had to bet, I would bet on FlorisBoard. I'll switch to it so I get used to it until it's probably added to GrapheneOS (the AOSP keyboard doesn't suit my needs anymore anyway).
brookie229 matchboxbananasynergy Look at requiring the rights to the BlackBerry vkb . Needs updating but it may be using SwiftKey licences?? It's a great keyboard just the way it is now. I'm using it on my 6a.
SoulKeeper [deleted] OpenBoard is also a good project. FlorisBoard is just over-hyped because of GrapheneOS.
Ammako Good lord. Either way Daniel doesn't lead the charge anymore, so his opinions are now his own and don't necessarily reflect anything GrapheneOS may do now or in the future. So it would be nice if we stopped bringing up old beef and focused on the future instead.
[deleted] Ammako This is highly off topic. Nobody bringed that up, I was just curious about situation with FlorisBoard.
[deleted] SoulKeeper Did you try using FlorisBoard? The difference is huge. More languages, more features, more customization, etc.
investigator Florisboard contains libraries under restrictive open-source licenses, which are not compatible with GrapheneOS. I rather think that, when the time comes, the devs will create a new keyboard based in part on florisboard.
[deleted] I have no problem using AOSP keyboard. But then again my expectations aren't high. (I don't rely on spell check and if make a mistake, I just apologize and move on) I presume, in terms of security it fares well otherwise it would have no place in GrapheneOS.
ivicaivica Any update on this? FlorisBoard is awesome. Even in it's currents state it's way better than the stock keyboard.
