Chroma Keyboard for Android - it's finally happening!

njbmartin
It's been a while since I've worked on anything "Chroma", but in the last few weeks there has been an explosion of interest in the Chroma Keyboard for Android.

The number one question I keep getting asked is... "Why did I release it on iOS but not on Android? That's backwards, man!"

All I can say is, I've heard you loud and clear, and the Chroma Keyboard is finally here... almost.

How can I get it?

Last update was a month ago.

Is there no way to install this?

That's definitely coming! Configuration and customisation for sure.



Yes, Gboard is (was) definitely my favourite on both platforms.


Any updates coming? Keyboard is not usable in it's current state and we haven't had any updates in a month:

keyboard sounds can't be disabled
no number row or click to hold to get 2nd row buttons
keys missing like _
Theme keys at the top of the screen take up space and currently do nothing

Keyboard looks cool to turn on and to show people but that's all it's good for, still using gboard 😞

Hey yes still working on updates. It was on hold for a few weeks but picking up development again.

I've got a Trello board so you can keep an eye on what I'm working on: https://trello.com/b/Bxx8i0I9/chroma-keyboard-for-android

Is there no swipe typing? That's probably the biggest make-it-break-it feature for me

Have experienced a couple of bugs/glitches so far. Will purchase the premium version once those issues have been sorted out. Fighting!

No swype style input ?

It would have been a great keyboard for my RP1, but now the only thing I want is to sell or throw away this crap of a phone, it's unbelievable forgotten by Razer for almost a year.

I actually like my RP1...

Guessing this project is more dead than the Razer Phone 1?
T
I'm guessing so. Just like mobile updates.

It looks dead... Sadly.

I already uninstalled. Chrooma Keyboard makes decent one. I might also try this one,

Okay, I surrender my iPhone for this awesome

Bought this keyboard. And i love it. But if can be customized and some settings it should be great.

App hasn't been updated since February. Developer is unresponsive. Keyboard is too beta. It's not a daily driver.
