ok, that’s crazy
Definitely sounds like it’s logging info!

@Anonyme thank you! This is horrible to see. Wow, they really did a good job making it…:confounded:

But I have to admit, it is a very very well thought piece of code. I used it until very recently (after haved switched off most privacy related addons) and it is the only part from my previous ROM that I really miss.

Yes, I get that! It’s really hard to let go something that’s made to be attractive.
Best of luck to you in finding a keyboard that’s privacy friendly and looks good!

I got this idea, I merged 2 languages into one pack. Dutch and English. In my first attempt I glued 2 full language files, but then the language pack did not build. So then I used 2 50k word files (Dutch and English). Then it did compile, and I like the result. So I’m going to share here . Note not all the words are in the file because of the size limit. But I make less typo’s now :). If the feedback is positive maybe I’ll make more language mixes.

If you want to try:
remove your current AnySoft Keyboard language (Dutch), then install from link, and deselect the English keyboard. After that you have only the dutch keyboard selected, and can type Dutch and English.

I asked Fleksy. It is here for what we think.

Here’s the answer in french :slight_smile:

“Si vous regardez toutes les apps avec des in-apps purchases. Nous devons avoir les trackeurs Google. C’est le Play Store qui l’oblige. Ads est uniquement utilisé pour collecter des fleksycoins dans un instant précis. Exodus n’explique pas le pourquoi malheureusement…”

They say that Fleksy is considered as an app with “in app purchases” because of fleksycoins and trackers are an obligation from Google/Play Store. They say that “sadly Exodus doesn’t explain the reason of trackers’ presence”…

Thanks for finding that out. I just checked out the app page in YALP. There’s a slice of the description that caught my attention:

PRIVACY The warning message that says Fleksy may be able to collect “all the text you type, including personal data like passwords and credit card numbers” is part of the Android operating system that appears when any third party keyboard is enabled."

This just reconfirms my gutt feeling: Espacially a keyboard app should be nothing but Open Source software.

Cool. Great idea. Gonna test that next week.

It’s not open source but Fleksy is a good keyboard and it works locally so nothing we type is uploaded on servers

What’s you native language?

…German, why?

I thought I make you a German-English pack, but I can’t build it, Android studio issues (&@#(#$… I Also noticed there are different version of language packs.

Can you give more info, what does not work? Did you uninstall Dutch language? (Apps & notifications > AnySoftKeyboard - Dutch… >Uninstall) After that install apk from link, and select the Dutch keyboard in AnySoftKeyboard app.

I did the steps again and now i have 2 dutch keyboards: suriname and belgium:see_no_evil:

So select the left and then you can type Dutch and English :slight_smile:
