- Changed title: Make a minimal-permissions version?
from hackerskeyboard.
Yes, please, offer a no-permissions alternative. I understand the permissions
are only inherited, but disable auto correct and don't use voice input. Due to
permissions I would on general principles not install this on my phone unless I
built it from source; right now it's on my test tablet that has no meaningful
address book on it.

Good news, pmiscml is currently adapting the code to work for Android 1.6
(eclair), and it looks like the changes needed include disabling voice input
and contacts completion. See issue 57 for details. As a result, that version
would not need the corresponding permissions. If this approach works as
expected, I'll publish that build on Market as an alternative package.

Just a personal reflection: I've lobbied for optional permissons in the system
for quite some time now (Dianne disagrees), but this is yet another case where
it would make life a significantly better. Newer CyanogenMod releases
implements it in a somewhat brute force way, that I would consider better than
nothing. Sorry for the rant.

I agree that optional permissions would make this a lot easier, but my
suggestions and rants have also been unable to convince the powers that be, and
it's probably a bit late to change fundamental Android design decisions at this
point without breaking things.

I stumbled across this app and wanted to install it. Then stopped short when I
saw that it requested access to my contacts list.
Open source or not, I hesitated and haven't installed it because of that.
+1 to a permissions free version.

+1 This is very important for me. I would rather pay for a keyboard with
similar features then installing this.

+1 for a no permissions version. A bit surprised that those permissions are
default on android.

Sigh... only #6?? I too want a minimal-permission keyboard. Is a settings
option posdible such that the keyboard would not need or use contacts,
passwords, etc so none of those sources are read?

Goodness, yes. Please ask the dev community for assistance with any blocking
obstacles standing in the way of developing a version which does not require
reading any personal data, particularly after the recent news broke of NSA
Leaker Snowden, and even more so since this week's Guardian report on
Microsoft's collaboration activities.
I don't personally have anything to fear, it's just that users and responsible
developers have, well, a responsibility to stand up for privacy concerns and
buck the frightening trend.

Somehow, my contact list picked up my entire roster of facebook friends. I hate
facebook. So, now autocomplete is trying to add names instead of normal words
like "city."

Please do !
I don't care about my contacts' names available as suggestions, whereas it is
very frustrating to see "etre" (french : être, to be) always being repaced by
some Mrs "ENTRASANGLE" in my contacts. If not making a second version, if you
at least could ask for the user wether they want their contacts database added
to the dictionnary or not, it would be great !
(Better accentuated words recognition could also help in this way but I guess
it is easier for you just to add this checkbox. ^^)
Appart from that, I love your app, really. Tried many keyboards on different
hardwares, yours is the best in the whole world ! Fluid on any hw,
customizable, pretty, everything.

After a long hiatus, I've finally been able to revisit the keyboard. Version
1.34rc15 removes the RECORD_AUDIO and READ_CONTACTS permissions.
Voice typing should still work, I've switched to a new library that uses
built-in OS support for this where available. I've disabled the Contacts
dictionary entirely since it seems to provide little benefit, and it can
consume a lot of memory for users with lots of contacts.
Please let me know if it works for you:

That's great, I almost lost hope in getting this fixed. Thanks for finally
going back to the issue!
Will test as soon as possible.

[bulk bug update]
The changes from the 1.34rcX prerelease series are included in version 1.37 as
published on the Play Store, and this bug should be fixed. If it's still not
working for you, please reopen or file a new bug. Thanks to everyone who helped
with finding bugs and testing!
