I love Heliboard it is a fork from Openboard. It has themes and is 100% offline
It's there a better swiping library for heliboard? The one they suggest is a lot worse than gboard's.
I don't use swiping, I have no clue ๐
That's odd, it should be identical. The library linked in their FAQ is a package extracted from Google apps.
Maybe it's an old package? The quality is noticeably worse.
Haven't used heliboard so I'm not sure if its different but have you tried this one?
https://github.com/erkserkserks/openboard/releases
Does it have the things I called out as liking about Gboard?
Got it, thanks!
It's insanely customizable; you can change all of the special characters to be anything else, as well as their positions.
Nice. That's actually even more customizable than I need. How does it do with the correcting correctly spelled words thing?
I had the same dilemma. Switched to HB and added in FUTO voice to replace Googles voice to text. SO doesn't like that it doesn't learn like Swiftkey does, but I like it because you can set it's aggressiveness of the autocorrect.
I'll have to check this one out I think. Lots of people in here recommending it. I'm guessing it's not on Google play?
I install directly from the developer's GitHub using Obtainium. However F-Droid is probably the more common method.
Is Fdroid like a third party app store app or something? I see people talk about it a lot on here but I don't know what it is.
That's exactly right. It's a third party app store for free and open source software.
No, it's on F-Droid, which is better.
How do you change the positions of letters and characters?
I dont think you can do letters, but under advanced settings you can edit the JSON config for positioning of everything else. Perhaps I'm wrong on letters and just haven't seen it.
