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

    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.

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

      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 (╥﹏╥ )

          Just installed and tested it. Not bad, I must say. Is it still in development? Last update was Sept. 2022

            It’s dependent on the main OpenBoard repo, whenever there’s a new release there, this dev rebases it and provides a new release on his repo. OpenBoard hasn’t been seeing much activity unfortunately, the last commit was 6 months ago. So nothing here as well. I’m eagerly waiting for FlorisBoard to implement autocorrect, I’ll probably switch as soon as it’s out. Floris is more customizable and there’s even an active MR to support Material You theming which will make it look right at home on Android 12+.
