I just tried HeliBoard. Ditching Florisboard for now. I still think Florisboard has potential but it is undeveloped, and HeliBoard has everything you’d expect for a Gboard open source substitution. Let’s go! Finally we have our first open source keyboard alternative without drawbacks!
After trying so many keyboards for years, heliboard with swipe + futo have finally made replacing gboard possible for me. I feel like it been a 90℅ replacement, a far greater degree than some of the good (but not quite there) keyboards currently available. I’ve literally only been using it for a week (for two languages), but I’m really really happy thus far. 😊
Mind if I ask you how did you do it ?
- I downloaded the release from https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard and then installed.
- I downloaded the swipe library linked in the page from here.
- under HeliBoard settings -> advanced, I clicked “load gesture library” and selected the downloaded swipe library
- and for voice input, I dish l downloaded Futo from the play store.
That’s it. Just setup the apps.
