FlickBoard vs Rootless Pixel Launcher
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
FlickBoard
FlickBoard is a keyboard for Android that doesn’t try to correct or predict you. It doesn’t have an opinion on the correct spelling or tone. It certainly doesn’t use any AI. Because it trusts you to write what you meant to write. Instead, FlickBoard uses swipes to get away with using vastly fewer (and larger!) buttons than a traditional QWERTY keyboard, helping you build muscle memory, minimize typos, and touch type faster. Type the letters in the center of a key by tapping it. Type the keys in the corners by swiping in that direction. It’s that simple! FlickBoard is inspired by MessagEase and Thumb-Key.
Rootless Pixel Launcher
Pixel Launcher is a close to AOSP launcher that only changes the necessary code to allow for small extensions and backporting to older Android versions. If you want a more feature packed launcher use Nova, Action or Lawnchair. Pixel Launcher is focused on simplicity and rock solid stability. Features include: * Search bar at the bottom * Wallpaper based theme selection * Regular Icon Packs * Adaptive Icon Packs, such as my Google Icons * Icon Shape selection on Android 8.0 For Pixel users, there's also a Magisk version.
