#AnySoftKeyboard, installed from #FDroid, asks for access to Contacts. Was it compromised? (EDIT: Unlikely)

I don't remember it asking me for Contacts before (but @lnxw37a2 does). [EDIT: I was] worried it may have been subject to a supply chain attack, and to be on the safe side, I uninstalled it.

It seems to be a mostly unmaintained app that I never use, but hadn't uninstalled. This is the first new version since 2025/07/25, and before that, 2022/01/14 (the first version shipped by @fdroid).

Giving the #AnySoftKeyboard a try. First app I grabbed from the #FDroid app store 😃🤳

For some reason #AnySoftKeyboard stopped working in #termux. Does anyone know how to fix this or has a recommendation for another #android keyboard that has arrow keys?

@lexinova

Fair point.

I would say creating a privacy respecting keyboard app would be better then?

On Android, use #FlorisBoard, #HeliBoard, #AnysoftKeyboard or #FutoKeyboard

Thats like using a #VPN only in the browser, or adding #FreeSoftware apps on a system full of #spyware... doesnt make much sense and you leak more data than you think.

My hesitation to try new keyboards got solved quickly: #AnySoftKeyboard, update or not, seems to have forgotten how to do other languages from English.

On The Unexpected keyboard now.

Ich such ne neue #Tastatur für #android Google und KI und überhaupt mit ohne nach Hause telefonieren gerne...
Hab jetzt n paar ausprobiert, aber iwie alles noch nix... #anysoftkeyboard soweit ganz gut eigentlich, aber ich will unbedingt die Satz und Sonderzeichen auf den tasten haben (und sehen)...
Irgendwelche Ideen?

I imagine that some of you might, like me, use a fairly popular FOSS keyboard app for android called Anysoft. A week or so ago, I installed an update for it and discovered it somehow broke compatibility with another app I use daily (termux). No big deal — I checked their bug tracker and found another user had already reported the issue, along with a simple workaround for it.

However, in the course of troubleshooting, that user incidentally triggered an apparently seldom-used component of the app’s autocomplete UI, and found that evidently an “AI”-based translation bot had “helpfully” submitted an automated pull request back in March that replaced part of said UI component with an incoherent text string containing a xenophobic slur. The maintainer who reviewed the PR overlooked this, and it ended up in the latest stable release.

The offensive text has reportedly been removed from the current beta, but the latest version available through F-Droid is still affected at this point.

In gutem Glauben das Update von #Anysoftkeyboard gemacht und wie üblich bei sehr gut funktionierender Software! Unnötige #Verschlimbesserungen die ohne Not und ohne Mehrwert ein Umgewöhnen erzwingen!

Warum ist es nicht möglich Design- und Usabilityänderungen optional anzubieten.

#Downgrade

Seems that @anysoftkeyboard language packs are now available on F-Droid and #AnySoftKeyboard itself is no longer marked as incompatible with some Android versions.

#Question #Appli #Ordiphone : Vous utilisez quoi comme clavier sur vostre #Smartphone les genses ?

J'utilise #AnysoftKeyboard depuis des années. Sauf qu'en me renseignant, la dernière mise à jour de l'appli date de 2021... Plus étonnant, celle de l'extension française date de... 2024 :blobthinkingeyes:

J'aurai à faire le deuil du modèle de clavier que j'utilise depuis bien 8/0 ans, mais vu que c'est pas ouf niveau sécurité, j'attend vos suggestions avec impatience. Boost bienvenus 🙏

Just replaced AnySoftKeyboard with Helipad in my Fairphone. Lets See how it compares.

Typing feels a bit better already.

What do you think about the FUTO Android keyboard?

https://keyboard.futo.org/

I do test it right now as an replacement for the AnySoftKeyboard. Not sure if I fully trust it right now. Any opinions on that topic or other replacements?

Bonjours, quelqu'un saurait si Anysoftkeyboard est toujours maintenu ? Ou le pourquoi ? Sur leur github il n'y a pas eu de release depuis 2021.

Hi, does anyone know if Anysoftkeyboard is still maintained? Or why? On their github there hasn't been a release since 2021.

@Cosmosburan @Shine_McShine tienes razón en lo del teclado. Precisamente es lo que más me está costando cambiar. Actualmente uso SwiftKey 😈y aunque he probado varias veces #AnySoftKeyboard no me he acostumbrado. Me gusta poder escribir en varios idiomas a la vez.

Tú cual recomiendas?

Hilabete daramat #HeliBoard teklatua erabiltzen nire androide guztietan eta oso atsegina zait. Software librea da eta gomendagarria iruditzen zait.

Euskarazko hiztegia #SoftwareLibreZalantzak Matrix gelan/Telegram taldean partekatu zuen erabiltzaile batek eta itzel dabil (#AnySoftKeyboard-ek erabiltzen duen berdina da).

📖 Eta euskarazko hiztegia hemen https://t.me/SoftwareLibreZalantzak/14142

(Nire kolore eskema #eigengrau kolorean oinarritu dut. 😆)

@zylog @clonbg no conozco el celu en cuestion, pero una alternativa seria cualquier otro movil con /e/OS o cualquier otro OS libre de G00gl3

En lo personal tengo #fairPhone, pero para la mayoria es probablemente demasiado costozo como para que sea una opcion.

Lo que para mi es un "casi innegociable" es el /e/, un sistema muy completo y harmonico en todos sus detalles.

Respecto de las apps, aqui mi recomendacion:

#session para reemplazar poco a poco #signal y #guatsapp
#silence para reemplazar la app de #sms

#organicsmaps basado en #OSM me parece que tiene mejores mapas y mas completos que los comerciales

#nextcloud en una #orangepi o #raspi puede reemplazar perfectamente cualquier solucion #cloud
#aves como la mas completa solucion para administrar nuestras fotos

No soy muy amigo de las apps comerciales, pero cuando son irremplazables entonces #AuroraStore es la unica alternativa confiable y para las #floss, siempre #NeoStore

En cuanto al teclado, desde hace años que vengo usando #AnySoftKeyboard, aunque todo es cuestion de gustos.

Even after more than four years of using #GrapheneOS a new user article can surprise me with apps I missed.

I had the original #Swype keyboard on my #Pixel4, but my new #PixelFold would not let me install it. I didnt like any of the alternatives i tried, and reluctantly used GBoard, but, even though Jordan Spencer didn't like it, I discovered i did like the #AnySoftKeyboard. So thanks for the reference.

I tried really hard to like #anysoftkeyboard on #android. Used it for a month. Love that it's #opensource. It's just not nearly as smooth or good as #SwiftKey, plus no support (yet) for #日本語。
Hope to check it out down the road again though. For now, back to a #microsoft product. :CRYINGWHY:

Just checking in on the #AnySoftKeyboard gesture typing progress, as I need it for accessibility purposes and hate being stuck with proprietary keyboards to get it. I desperately want to get back to fully #FOSS software on my #Android devices.

It's not quite daily driver ready, but it's so close! Given it's still in beta that's very promising.

I gesture typed this message. It was with some difficulty, but nonetheless that's great progress.

Well, that was kinda creepy and fun. 😅

I use #AnySoftKeyboard on #Android and wanted to looks something up about #DavidBowie. Turns out there's an EasterEgg that as soon as you type his name, a text faintly appears over the keyboard with part of the lyrics of #SpaceOddity! 🙂🚀
