This fork is actively developed, supports gestures amd many other features. Try it!
Thanks for this, btw. The fork that has swiping enabled hasn't been updated for over a year at this point :/
u/sudo22 has mentioned that a library is required to enable swiping, but I don't have a clue on how to download/use it. I'll try figuring it out.
Edit : Figured it out, the app allows you to import the libjni_latinimegoogle.so file if you've downloaded it.
I was very pleased with how well swipe input works with this library. After finding this fork, I stopped using GBoard, which I am very happy about :)
Yes! Also the original, actively developed Open Board has a vastly superior auto correct. I've just been using it for a couple hours now but I absolutely love it.
My typing speed was really good in SwiftKey because of it's autocorrect. I felt hindered with the previous fork, but this one is absolutely wonderful. I'm about 90-95% there.
Thank you, @Helium314 ❤️
I downloaded that, but gesture support is no working. Do we have to do something else. I already turned on the gesture support option in settings, what am I missing?
You should download this file to your phone. Then in additional settings you should choose load gesture typing library and choose this file. That's it.
Done it, still not working. Do we have to restart for it to effect??? i even turned on show glide trail, but nothing
It worked for me without restarting. Lemme know if you're still interested in trying it out, maybe it can be troubleshot.
Maybe. It started working for me after this steps so 🤷♂️
Any way, thanks for helping fellow lemmy user.
❤️🙂
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot! Now I can definitely leave gboard. One step more in my degoogling process.
yup! same here. this fork have me ability to finally leave GBoard. it is awesome!
