  • HeliBoard, a privacy-conscious open-source Android keyboard based on AOSP/now-unmaintained OpenBoard, is now available on F-Droid

    Jump

  • Heliboard does have a single hand layout, you can access it from the top toolbar (you might need to add this button in "Settings/Preferences/Additional keys/Select toolbar keys") or by long pressing the comma. Then tap the hand icon.

  • Heliboard is now also on the official F-Droid repository, people can choose any source!

  • Wish you could see a preview when customizing the keyboard. Hard to do it blind

    That's a pretty good idea. You could check if there's any issue about it in GitHub or open one, the app is under active development and I think this is something the developers would consider implementing.

  • I don't think you can remove those buttons, because both of them give you access to more options:

    • the numbers button changes they keyboard layout to give access not only to numbers but also to many symbols
    • the comma button shows a pop up when long pressing for options like ”voice input, undo, redo, one handed mode, access settings...". These can be customised on the keyboard's settings.

  • You could use a FairPhone

  • Heliboard autocorrect works?

    Jump

  • I have the same problem. Before the official release as Heliboard, when it still was called OpenBoard (by Helium314), I could change the keyboard languages with the small keyboard icon on the bottom right of my screen and it would change the language AND there spelling dictionary, but by swiping up from the spacebar only the language would change, with the spelling dictionary still on the first language.

    Now on Heliboard I don't even have that possibility, since the small keyboard icon on the bottom right only shows one entry for Heliboard, not several (one for each language) as it used to be before.

  • Are there any free and open-source navigation apps for Android, under 50MB?

  • Is the area properly mapped in OpenStreetMap? Organic Maps uses OpenStreetMap data, if addresses are not present there, then it's up to the users to add them.

  • Android users switched less frequently to iPhones in 2023, report shows

  • +1 for iodéOS. It's a good OS, based on LineageOS and with a built-in ad/tracker blocker.

    Additionally, if you get a FairPhone or a Pixel you have a bunch of other ROMs to choose from, like basic LineageOS, CakyxOS, DivestOS, and only on Pixel GrapheneOS.

  • F-Droid now supports automatic background updates

    Jump

  • That's shit. I don't want stuff installed on my phone without my knowledge

  • F-Droid now supports automatic background updates

    Jump

  • 100% agree. I've always been shocked to see people claiming that automatic app updates are good for security. Having stuff being installed in the background on your device without your knowledge is good for security?

    I understand the "we roll out an important security update and it quickly updates for all users" situation. However, I still want to chose what you install on my device. Look at what just happen with Simple Mobile Tools, how many unaware Google Play users now have spyware installed on their phones?

  • F-Droid now supports automatic background updates

    Jump

  • I've made a habit of opening GitHub issues asking for a changelog on those apps that I use that don't provide one. Most developers are open and helpful, some are not.

    The worst experience so far was with Wikipedia, they provide poor update information (usual "we update our app regularly to being you improvements") and replied weeks later with "that's what most apps do".

  • What FOSS Android speech recognition app do you recommend?

    Jump

  • RHvoice is text-to-speech (TTS), what OP is asking for is the opposite: speech-to-text (aka voice recognition).

  • Recommend me an audio app for android?

    Jump

  • Been there, done that 🤣

  • Musicolet is cool, but it's not FOSS so will never be in F-Droid

  • Next smartphone I buy, which one do you recommend?

    Jump

  • I use a phone holder and my phone sits there with my maps app showing me the navigation.

  • This is literally the internet nowadays without an adblock

  • ANC headphones/earbuds that require no proprietary apps?

    Jump

  • Soundcore Q20 and Q30 have a physical button with no need for an app, I don't know if their newer models are still like this. The Q30 also have a proprietary app to configure some things (like EQ), however a big plus here is the existence of an open source app on IzzyOnDroid's repo that can also do this.

  • Why do you use firefox?

    Jump

  • Because it's the only browser not based on Google's Chromium rendering engine (Webview, WebKit? whatever). Using any other browser supports Google's monopoly over how we browse the internet and what we are allowed to see. No, fuck Google.

    Edit: spelling
