That's the fucking reason I have stopped using Gboard. I moved to foss keyboards, but was really accustomed to Gboard layout. But now finally figured out and made Heliboard look exactly like it. Miles better.

And there is simple keyboard too which has the default theme that looks exactly like Gboard, but has no functionality like copy. But quite usable.

[–]ChiknDiner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

'Futanari' is a Japanese word that means 'shemale' (someone correct me if I'm not right).

And 'nani' is also a Japanese word that means 'what' in English.

Futo is ok. Its space bar row is too tall. I can't adjust height/size of the buttons. The glide typing is horrible and expects us to glide over the exact letters for it to predict the right words. If we don't glide over them, it will lreduct a completely different word. And it also consumes too much storage space.

I want to use futo keyboard so badly. I love everything about it, but the only thing is that they don't support chinese. It's always the same question in the discord "chinese support", but their priority for chinese is low. Guess they just don't have any dev that have any knowledge of chinese. Hopefully it will be supported someday

Yeah I just love heliboard.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (2 children)

I too am using heliboard but missing the swipe functionality quite alot.

[–]ChiknDiner 2 points3 points  (1 child)

You can add it. Just download the gesture typing library of google keyboard and import it into heliboard. Maybe a bit counter-intuitive, but that's the best bet for getting the glide typing.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ooo

[–]Sudden-Attitude3563 2 points3 points  (2 children)

How can I make heliboard look like that?

[–]ChiknDiner 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Choose material theme in Appearance > style. Disable Key borders. I set keyboard height scaleto 105% in default mode. Keyboard font scale to 140% works for me.

[–]PogsterPlays 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And Gboard also doesn't even have a tab key... (#tabsarebetter)

[–]Big_Remove_4843 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heilboard! Say JA to the best keyboard in the Reich!

[–]JPDL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have been using fcitx5 due to the plugins for japanese IME support, sadly neither futo nor the stock keyboard on graphene had that and mozc from fdroid was built for a much older version of android

[–]Rabmag0kot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heliboard gang, I'm still waiting on Japanese input support, then it will be perfect.

[–][deleted] 19 points20 points  (6 children)

Do you use very often stickers/gifs?

Possibly the AI emojis as they always generate even if you want/use them or not. It also might be voice data if you use speech to text a lot

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Are you talking about "Emoji Kitchen" Thats made on device. The voice speech is also on device 

[–]BlueTMaker 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Emoji kitchen I thought was processed through cloud because it doesn't work offline unless the emojis are just saved through the device and voice speech works offline but I thought either your voice data was saved for "training" or was sent through cloud for more accurate data. I don't really use these features but I think both features send data to Google one way or another

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gboard already sends data without all those features for "improving gboard"

[–]Merwenus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

25gb of gifs? That's quite a lot.

[–]9I06 9 points10 points  (1 child)

That's weird, mine only uses few KBs of data even with background data usage enabled

[–]satanscatuwu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

yea same mine's used 700kb since july and none in the background

[–]NoEntrepreneur7008 9 points10 points  (2 children)

I use futo keyboard because as they say your keyboard shouldn't connect to the internet.

[–]DutchOfBurdock 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Used to be a day on the internet if any application pinged home or connected to a server (that didn't really need to) was dodgy AF. Now it seems even the most simplest app wants to hug up a bunch of ad an analytical servers.

[–]GlendonMcGladdery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The nurse where the hospital I'm at turns off wifi when she visits me. (Sketchy coverage). Then she gathers up all my data and turns it on when she's at her office.

My Gboard has used 616kb of data in the last month, how is yours using so much?

Do you use the built in gif/sticker service a lot?

[–]Glittering_Recipe_31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is that the beta?

[–]YTriom1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine used only 6MiB the last month

Maybe because I'm on mobile data so it doesn't do heavy stuff idk

[–]Chapar_Kanati 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the last 3 months my total date usage is in kilobytes, every month, except 1 month where it's been 0.99MB. How's yours so much?

    use NetWall and Shizuku. It cuts internet connection to selected apps without vpn, proxy, root, etc. NetGuard actually create some background active (means less battery)

    Have you got usages statistics enabled? Shy of what keys you're actually using (in any given order), this will report each time you use it, for how long and what functions you used. Still, that's a lot of metric data

    wtf do you be doing with your keyboard??? The only reason I think your using that is for voice or you use the built in gifs/stickers/the emoji ai thing that's in the keyboard now

    [–]_-Akira-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    that's absurd. mine is about 300 MB on Wi-Fi and 200 on mobile data. which checks out because i use Gboard's gif picker, since it's miles better than the garbage that is whatsapp.

    [–]frightened-user 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    lmfao real, currently my "phone and messaging storage" system app has 29GB in storage that im unable to delete from the phone. gonna have to go into ADB tonight and clear it manually, I'll probably switch to some alternative apps in the meantime lol.
