OpenBoard – FOSS Keyboard for Android which respects your privacy

The search function on FDroid is atrocious. I find all the language packs for Anysoftkeyboard but not the keyboard itself.

I think the search function is working fine, the app is just called "AnySoftKeyboard 3D Theme" in the F-Droid app but not on the website for some reason.

With all default repos + IzzyOnDroid enabled and searching exactly for that package name I get all the language packs and a 7 years old PC theme, but not the app itself. I'll just download the APK, I guess.

For future reference you can use the "Open in app" option in Firefox to open the app in F-Droid from the website link in the parent.

When I do that it does open in fdriid but to the "Armenian for AnysoftKeyboard".

Edit: thought I would install it and it turns out its English. Using to type this.

Yeah, the app name got screwed up for whatever reason.

This appears to be a known issue: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/issues/2014

Then why I can't find it even with your keywords?

The other possibility is that it's not present for me because it might not be compatible with GrapheneOS?

But I have problems with search even for other apps. I'm OK with it it because FDroid is very good otherwise.

It shows up for me on GrapheneOS. I don't think the F-Droid search is OS-dependent anyways besides maybe the major Android version number. As the GP noted, for some reason the name is listed with the "3D Theme" addendum in the app which is a little bizarre. Does your browser support opening the link in an app, i.e. F-Droid?

When I installed that, my Apps settings page listed the Armenian layout "app".

I concur, Foxy Droid works much better for me.
