      AppLee

      @mirroronthewall Porting android apps is not the best way to achieve your goal I think.
      The best course of action is to create a native app which can integrate libs or some algorithm from Open Source projects like the one you mentioned.

      AR and VR requires some work but it's doable, just need someone motivated and with enough time to do the job.
      If I win the lottery (but I don't bet) I'll be happy to try out the AR šŸ˜‰

      Some updates on this as I've been testing LineageOS:

      Dotterel: Plover + Arpeggiated Regular Keyboard

      Dotterel (named after a bird, like "Plover" is) exists, so this same approach could be adapted possible for something of the above. It is an implementation of Plover for Android, and can take an attached keyboard's chords or can use a touch keyboard for "arpeggio mode" (where you can tap each letter and it holds it down until you hit the "space" bar to release the full chord).

      I forgot about this mode but it might be an accessible example for implementing on a keyboard for chorded key entry which still might be useful: you could switch to arpeggiation mode with a key, then could hit "A" for instance and that is held down, then "B", then hit a "space" (release) key to release the "A-B" chord to whatever the user defined the chord as, which could be the word "about" or an abbreivation "Apple Berries" or whatever.

      Other Existing Keyboards

      A couple other Android "chorded" keyboards exist like Penti and Combo Key. I also didn't know the so-called "Hacker's Keyboard" exists, which has CTRL/ALT keys - but unfortunately only in landscape mode I think (would there be a way to get them in portrait mode?).

      You can install apps manually, but to use hash verification you'll also need the sha512 hash from the store.

      From your PC with the device connected to USB and Developer Mode enabled and authenticated, you can run:

      adb push *.click adb shell "(pkcon install-local --allow-unauthenticated *.click && rm *.click)"

      This will copy the click files you've downloaded to your device, and then install and remove them from the device.
