       A longstanding issue I had with open source keyboards for android is that they have bloated layouts and bad emoji support. Well this is no more: https://github.com/dslul/openboardThis is openboard, which basically has the same layout as gboard, an emoji button (thank god) and is also 100% FOSS. Now I don't have to send my every keypress to Google.

       @alexandru_balan did you even analize traffic to know that you are sending every key? Do you even know how the android structure for the keyboard works? If they wanted to save all keys, they would implement a hook on the keyboard system api so it doesn't matter which keyboard you use, so they can capture it anyways.Don't trust, verify. And don't be too paranoid, if you use LineageOS, you are using the AOSP Keyboard, i think is completly fine.

       @nitoxLocked bootloader so no lineage for me. My phone came with gboard preinstalled and you you are sending "anonymous" telemetry by default. If you don't want to you have to uncheck the box in the settings. Also you might want to check the description of the permissions that gboard needs on an iPhone as they are very explicit. Tldr you agree that google has access to everything you type and you have ever typed. Sooo yeaah... I don't think I am too paranoid

       @nitoxI know. When I'll change my phone again I'll go for the #pinephone. But I won't make google's life easier by running more of their spyware.
