If you liked my iOS typos you're going to love my android ones

Typing on this thing is horrendous and takes a lot to move the cursor to the right place to correct them

Bullshit on this keyboard

Which keyboard you got?

That's mine

Whatever default comes with graohene. It sucks, it has very obvious bugs!

Ie if I type some words and then delete rheblast letter ofntheblast word, it will delete the space BEFORE the word whose last letter I've deleted

πŸ˜‚

so fucking bullshit

Try out florisboard. Feels almost like the iOS keyboard to me and comes with spacebar cursor functionality.

Don’t let the beta status fool you. It’s perfectly stable on my end.

Minus spellcheck

Ah yes. There was something missing haha

Do you change between phones? I thought you bought a new iPhone a month or two ago

I did

Now I bought an Android basically just to use amethyst

nice

FOSS? You'll like AnySoft.... except you gotta configure it

Diff people, diff interface keyboard layout. Most dont survive. But checl the 9MB file size 🍬

What I mean to say, my normie friends stopped using cuz they weren't willing to configure it . But I know you can

Trying out this keyboard now, lets see, so far seems better than the default one

one

πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ emojis!

SO BACK

Yess. And dude bitcoin shortcut in Tweaks what was it called dammit

Language > Configure correction behavior > Abbreviation editor (bottomish)

Then β‚Ώ

Oh nice!

Yea enjoy. There is also FlorisBoard haven't tried for a while cuz I got used to this. There maybe something I missed. It's also small only 11MB

Knowing you you'll patch it 🀣jk

Thatd be kinda cool, make it introduce hilarious typos in all the wrong places πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ

Hahaha forkkk lol android bonus, less work for me to react

What phone you go with?

Pixel 7 pro

Goal is to be unable to be evil

I’m looking at WiFi android screen devices (not phones) just to run Nostr

FEEL YOU and FEEL THIS 🀣πŸ₯²πŸ’œ

Your muscle memory just needs time to adapt.

That I understand, but the very basic bugs....?

They're not bugs, they are quirks, very lovable quirks 🀣

I hate to admit it but iOS beats the fuck out of android for UX

When I say android I mean Graphene on a Pixel7 which I love but the UX the touch the tiny details don’t compare to the forbidden, rotten to the core Apple

The difference would be that you can make the UX exactly how you want it on an android phone and you're reserved to a very limited number of options for UX on iOS.

Agreed… there’s always a trade off

Just works and is snappy

Or just works however you like it to work but isn’t quite as snappy

It’s a conundrum… ultimately beauty is in the eye of the beholder

hold spacebar, slide left or right to move the cursor, profit

Just use Google's Keyboard (GBoard), revoke network permissions. Works perfectly

Followid

Every note you post makes me less and less interested in switching. I mean, I get it. And good for you. But man…

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

It's the default AOSP keyboard. It hasn't been updated in a long time by Google, because of GBoard and other OEMS developing their own keyboards, like Samsung. For the most part, Google just releases security updates for the AOSP apps. All of Graphene's apps (with the exception of auditor, pdf viewer, apps, and the camera) are the default AOSP ones that don't really get maintained by Google, except for the regular security patches.

Florisboard is the keyboard that the Graphene team was debating to replace the AOSP keyboard with eventually, I assume after it gets past an Alpha state. It's the closest you'll get to Gboard or iOS level from the open source options. You could always use Graphene's extended toggles to revoke sensor or network permissions from invasive things like Gboard as well

I herd Microsoft has the best auto spell for de-googled phones.

πŸ˜…πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Come on, add some emoticons to the note πŸ˜‚

Slide to type is the way. Make errors and no ragrets

yeah, slide to type is king

πŸ‘‘

You know you can do slide to type on iOS too right?

Me? Ofc I doπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

I love Gboard 😬 I haven't used AOSP keyboard is years. Does the AOSP keyboard even allow you to use the space bar to navigate?

the one I tried doesn't and it's a pain in the ass not to be able to do that; I'll check out Gboard

TypeWise was the best I found that was privacy preserving. I still didn’t like it. Lol. 😝

πŸ˜‚ sounds promising πŸ˜€

It has some cool features. I’m just old and ornery.

I don't know if you can. Gboard is Google Keyboard. It may need Google Services and may not work on Graphene.

Google essentially abandoned AOSP keyboard and put all of the cool stuff into Gboard. Google has done this with many, many core AOSP apps. Calendar, Messenger, Contscts, etc.

I use Gboard on graphene and it works perfectly. Only keyboard I can tolerate and I've used a bunch.

The way I have it configured on my phone, Google services is installed but it has zero network permissions. Same with Gboard. Nothing Google on my phone is allowed to network at all.

Swipe to text has been on Android since 2010...

My my you guys are spoiled. πŸ˜‚

the default graphine didn't; the one I installed now doesn't either; I'm sure I'll find something good, if you have a recommendation let's hear it

Same experience, but switching from Android to iPhone. Actually makes me hopeful that I’m just stuck in some vendor specific lock-in ways that can be overcome.

(How can I switch off that iPhone always puts the cursor to beginning of word, not in the middle where I touched?)
