- commoner 4y agoThe "Android Keyboard (AOSP)"[1] in /e/ is a fork of the LineageOS keyboard.[2] Neither of these keyboards have network access. This is different from the keyboards that are preloaded on some Android phones, such as Gboard and Samsung Keyboard, which do connect to the internet.

- Ank_S 4y agoSadly, most of newer smartphones are getting shipped with more default google apps like Phone, Messaging & Keyboard. AOSP alternatives of these apps works well, but manufacturers are choosing/forced to choose more Google apps as default which is really sad. I don't want Google updating "Phone" app every few days.
