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.

    The vibration pretty much

    I just took a look at FlorisBoard again, and it looks like there are settings to change the vibration intensity and length. Setting it to the highest intensity and lowest length brought things very close.

    A tiny difference I noticed that I could live without

    • google keyboard vibrates both when the key is pressed down, and when it is released
    • Floris only vibrates on keypress

    For what it’s worth, long press special characters on google keyboard dont vibrate on release, which I think is silly. It should always do that (maybe even having some lighter vibration feedback when a special character is used)

      I found that the Pixel 7 pro finally got close to an iphone 8 in terms of realistic haptic vibrations. The 6a doesnt work with florisboards “define vibration yourself” though.

      So in general useful haptic vibrations like on iphones where just never there. Not sure about other brands but all android phones I had had unrealistic vibrations.
