What is Reddit's opinion of MultiLing Keyboard?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I used MultiLing on my old phone, it has support for T9-style typing. There's also a successor version which was too complicated for my taste, but it lets you create entirely custom layouts.

I also miss Fleksy! I started using MultiLing. You can customize swipe left/right to be whatever. It does take a bit to set up though since basically everything (including layout) is customizable.

I use the multiling keyboard. It does have a Ukranian plugin available. (edited for formatting)

Dencil said: >The hangouts app does not have a feature that allows you to do any text formatting within the app. Also, if formatting text was possible it would come from a keyboard app instead of hangouts.

I find it silly to make a feature like this available for one platform but not the other. However, Dencil did state that "if formatting text was possible, it would come from a keyboard app instead of Hangouts." So if you can find a keyboard in the Play Store that can format the text in ways you want, get that! :)

One keyboard I've used before that can do this is MultiLing Keyboard. I don't use it anymore because it has so many customization options that it's actually kind of overwhelming... Others may like it though.

Hope you find one that can do what you one, and that you like! :)

This ~~is~~ was the bane of my existence. If my phone would turn on.

I have a Pebble and with that, my essential Pebble app and Android Wear always running it adds up to 80-150 mb of memory constantly being used.

Main thing to consider is reducing memory of your browser and of your keyboard. I used to use Firefox, but now that is unusable even with one tab. Chrome was okay for maybe three or four, now that's unusable.

I still use SwiftKey (40 mb average memory usage) for messaging in less memory intensive apps, but when I'm browsing with a lot of tabs, attempting to multitask or playing games, I switch to MultiLing keyboard which maxes out at about 14 mb of memory and averages 9 (the updated version uses a lot more). Having multiple keyboards enabled is helpful as well because the notification to change keyboards helps stop the keyboard being killed by the system.

To be able to keep more tabs open, the best browser for memory usage is Naked Browser, which is a nice all-rounded combination of speed and simplicity (I bought the pro edition). I can use as many tabs as I like without issues (I've probably used ten max) and I can tab out with 1-3 tabs open to something like Facebook Messenger and they will usually stay loaded.

I also reboot my phone daily or more to fix the memory leaks.

Overall the issue is that Motorola chose way too much memory to be reserved for the Android system on 4.4.4 on the first gen making the phone unusable in a lot of situations. When the Lollipop update comes out, you will have more memory free by default since they fix this... but you may end up with more issues with memory leaks.

Before my phone wouldn't turn on, I was about to root it and fix this issue myself.

You actually got me to create a reddit account, OP. There goes my productivity.

I use the Multiling Keyboard Pros: free! Cons: it's not your default keyboard, and some people don't like that. I prefer it, personally. And specifically this keyboard, not the new O-Keyboard they're pushing, I found it unusably buggy.

If you do use that one, you'll also need the EO language pack for it.

You use the space bar to switch languages on the fly so you don't need to worry about non-speakers needing to decipher your phone if they borrow it.

I use the MultiLing Keyboard with the Esperanto language plugin. I don't have autocorrect or spellchecks turned on with my phone, however, so your mileage very well could vary with those.

I personally don't like the shape and style of the keys on the native Android keyboard, which is why I switched in the first place. Esperanto plugins was a nice bonus, however.

Note: the O-Keyboard they keep pushing was horribly buggy crapware last I tried it (a few months ago), so I recommend against it as a general thing. It could be better now.

Android apps: Google Translate, Baidu Translate, Youdao Translate.

The keyboard I use is Multiling (the older version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.klye.ime.latin&hl=en), some people might find it a little complicated to set up, but its customisability is its selling point for me. With just a simple swipe, for example, you can switch between English input, pinyin input, wubihua input and handwriting input.

Multiling only keyboard i ever use.

Have a look at MultiLing Keyboard. I used it briefly on my Android tablet, and it seemed to do the trick.

Well with root you can tweak the kernel to optimise performance. An app called "Kernel Adiutor" does this really nicely.

There is a kernel feature called "Kernel Samepage Merging" which I think merges some pages (a memory term I barely understand) to reduce memory usage at the cost of CPU usage. This can cause reduced battery life and a warmer phone, but it can be tweaked to find an optimal setting.

An app called Greenify will automatically close selected apps when you're not using them, so if used sparingly on memory hogging apps (Facebook, Google Now depending on how much you use it) it can free up some memory.

MinFree settings are another kernel tweak which can be optimised to tell the kernel what to kill and what to keep in memory. I've found some fairly optimal settings, but it can be fairly difficult to work out.

There are some root apps which can force certain apps to stay in memory, theoretically telling the kernel it can't close them, but I haven't had much luck with them actually working.

Another non-root choice is to use apps that use less memory than stock or common ones.

Nova Launcher has great customisation and uses less memory than GNowL. Note that on some phones, the stock launcher will continue running, so make sure to disable it if you have any issues.

Naked Browser (free with pro edition) uses very little memory at the cost of a little performance and design. It has a lot of configuration too.

MultiLing Keyboard is the only one I could find lighter than AOSP. It has a lot of customisation, although it can be difficult, but loses a lot of aesthetics and suggestions aren't great.

Titanium backup is good for stopping apps from running in the background completely. You can create a widget which will freeze an app, and another which will unfreeze and launch it. Very useful for garbage that you occasionally use, like Facebook, apps for random businesses, such as dominoes etc.

Of course a factory reset will often do wonders. Limit what apps you install, as they will often have background services which don't use a lot of memory, but it adds up.

For resizing and customisation you can't beat multiling O its fiddly to set up as there's loads of options.

If you have an Android the Multi-ling Keyboard App has an IPA keyboard.
