/akg/ - Android Keyboard General

Why can't I find a better keyboard than GBoard?

Simple Keyboard is GBoard but with less bloat and botnet

also, the fuck kinda general is this?

I use Simple Keyboard from fdroid. Looks exactly like GBoard, but no swipe or autocorrect or emojis or any of that bloated shit. It's lightweight and fast and not a botnet like every other keyboard.

bruh this is my reply but more verbose

>Simple Keyboard is GBoard but with less bloat and botnet
And way less features. Autocorrect does not exist on Simple Keyboard. The setting page is fucking empty and they only use the old layouts.

And? I was nearly done typing it when I saw your post show up, and I didn't read your until I posted mine.

>Looks exactly like GBoard
No. It's outdated. It uses the AOSP layout from 2013.

>but no autocorrect
This is a dealbreaker.

Somebody needs to do a better AOSP fork.

I've simply become better at typing on my phone because of Simply Keyboard. Don't even have to worry about autocorrect in the first place. It's still fairly customizable and has themes, vibrate on keypress, etc

>No. It's outdated. It uses the AOSP layout from 2013.
It looks fine. What does the AOSP keyboard look like now that's so much different?
>This is a dealbreaker.
Is it? Do you use autocorrect on your computer? Maybe you just need to learn to type on a phone.

>What does the AOSP keyboard look like now that's so much different?
The new Gboard bordered key theme is perfect. Makes the AOSP theme look like Gingerbread shit.

Personally I don't like bordered keys, but again, what does it actually look like? Do you have a picture of the new AOSP look?

But simple keyboard has a bordered key theme?

because google knows what you're going to type better than anyone else

behold

so you're saying that simple keyboard has the exact same theme

They look completely different. Are you blind?

There's minor differences in color and also my redlight filter messes it up, but if you prefer a couple hex codes that you could almost certainly change easily in the code then by all means have your botnet keyboard

or Simple Keyboard can add that theme.

I just use the AOSP keyboard

>They look completely different
They really don't
Also the non-bordered theme is better and looks the same on both of them.

The only valid complaint against gboard is it being botnet and that is something that AFwall can fix, so what gives?

Gboard has an annoying useless bar at the top that you can't get rid of. I wouldn't use it even if it wasn't a botnet.

>Gboard has an annoying useless bar at the top that you can't get rid of.
No it doesn't.

See:

Yeah? And? So?
Take this to:
/thread

It also uses like 30 times as much memory as Simple Keyboard

how did you remove the bar?

It's in the settings. Derp.

How is that a bad thing?

install a blackberry into your hands

I use the one by samsung and it's not awful but the suggestions stink a little

I installed gboard and I must be dumb but I can't find any night mode related options

Fuck that, physical phone keyboards are always way too small

how do i access simple keyboard settings?

Android settings, dumbass. It barely has settings because it has no features.

Gboard + afwall to block internet access.

all i wanna do is make it smaller

Hold comma

thank you

use multiling O keyboard, everything is configurable and less bloated than the other keyboards
