Since yesterday, the really cool fork of openboard with active development and support of adding a swype library manually, got rebranded into Heliboard. A release on izzyondroidrepo and fdroid should be coming soon.

PS. If you are using the old fork you have to remove it first and do a backup of your settings.

    I want to use one of these OSS keyboards, but man they suck a lot for non-English typing… and especially if you want/need multiple languages!

      I had to stop using it for English even because its word predictions were horrible. Very common words kept correcting to much less common words on a regular basis. I gave it a good three months and I just can’t do it. Wanted to like it so much.

      Agree. And this is the first OSS keyboard I’ve found that can do multiple languages at the same time without switching the language/layout. (You can set secondary language) It requires a bit of setup (like downloading dictionaries) but I’d suggest to give it a try.
