Getting rid of #Google on #Android is like ripping off your skin to deal with mites.

Not only do I need #Chrome to activate certain services (both private AND public), but I can't use the #Heliboard virtual keyboard because my bank finds it dubious - even though it does no tracking, while #GBoard is a Google product.

De-Googling your Android is therefore a two step program. First you're reliant upon Google for the initial setup, until you can start to disable apps - but you still need GAPPS.

Is there a setting in or an alternative to Heliboard on Android, which allows to type in two languages at the same time?

I often switch between German and English, but forget to set the typing language, causing a lot of annoying autotype errors.

@whaha de laatste was het makkelijkst . ik zocht een vervanger voor Swiftkey.
Heliboard zit in de app store F-Droid.
Het is een fork vsn een veel langer bestaand toetsenbord. Ik vond het vanaf hun eerste begin veel fijner en snel daarna is het nog veel verder verbetert.

Wel even een belangrijk punt voor alle toetsenborden met 'correctie opties': in het begin zul je veel correcties gelijk moeten corrigeren en zorgvuldig tikken. Anders 'leert' de app juist fouten aan.

If you're using an android phone you need this:

I have been on the lookout for a sensible Gboard replacement that wasn't making my (voice) typing experience painful, and so far only FUTO Keyboard managed to provide that.

It has really good offline voice typing as well, which is something I use a lot.

I can not recommend this enough!

I really hung on to SwiftKey longer than I should have after Microsoft acquired it. It's just... It was such a good keyboard when I first installed it. Swipe typing, nice themes, seemingly perfect key layout (from my extremely subjective point of view), and a whole bunch of config options. It was great.

Too bad it's now infested with AI bullshit like everything else Microsoft produces, and yet somehow the word suggestions (the only feature that it would make sense to integrate with any form of AI) have gotten noticeably worse.

Switched to Heliboard for now as it seems like the best FOSS alternative that's still maintained, but it'll still take some time to get used to it since the layout is messing with my muscle memory and there's basically no way to make it look like the Swiftkey theme I had.

Google nutze ich schon ewig nicht mehr und das mit Tastatur und dem sträuben kenne ich auch, aber anders rum. ich will nicht die andere sondern meine
#HeliBoard

Seit dem klar ist, das die eingebaute Tastatur auch nur alles mittrackt, ist die schon vor Jahren deaktiviert worden. Habe da also mit dem umgewöhnen, viel früher angefangen
