Key Features

1. Gemini "Rambler" Natural Voice Typing

Traditional voice-to-text transcribes every hesitation literally. PixelBoard unlocks Google's state-of-the-art Rambler model:

• Speech Cleanup: Speak naturally — stutters, false starts, and filler words ("um", "ah", "like", "you know") are filtered out in real-time.
• Thought Completion: Seamlessly fixes self-corrections on the fly (e.g., "let's meet at two no, three PM" → "Let's meet at 3:00 PM").
• Auto-Punctuation & Capitalization: Adds context-aware periods, commas, and proper noun capitalization without requiring voice commands.
• Multilingual Fluidity: Mix and match languages seamlessly in a single sentence.
• Voice Toolbar Minimize Key & TalkBack Labels (#108): Restored the voice toolbar minimize action key in Rambler dictation to smoothly minimize the expanded voice typing toolbar down to the end slot or floating widget, matching stock voice typing ergonomics, with dedicated TalkBack accessibility descriptions ("Minimize keyboard" and "Back to keyboard").
• Restored Predictive Suggestions & Fixed Idling Gradient Bar (#109): Enforces enable_hide_rambler_al_idling_state to properly hide the Assistant Light (AL) gradient toolbar during idle voice typing, unblocking the suggestion strip container and restoring predictive word suggestions.
• Gboard 18.5.3 / 18.4.1 & Standalone Support: Seamlessly hooked into Gboard's obfuscated VoiceSettingsFragment selector, with automatic preference initialization (enable_jetson = true) ensuring Rambler works out-of-the-box on the standalone package (com.akshaykadam.pixelboard) without relying on Google Play Services Phenotype flag sync.
• Battery-Friendly Lifecycle: Cleanly releases speech recognition bindings (GoogleAsrService) as soon as the keyboard is hidden, eliminating screen-off battery drain (#3).
• Cold Boot & Direct Boot Readiness: Powered by Device-Protected Storage (DE), ensuring Rambler voice typing is ready immediately after device reboots without needing manual Gboard restarts (#4).

2. In-Line AI Writing Assistant

Access Google's Gemini-driven writing suite directly above your keys across any app:

• One-Tap Proofread & "Fix it" Button (#109): Correct spelling, grammatical quirks, and punctuation in an instant with restored cooperative mode and inline "Fix it" action chips.
• Tone & Style Switcher: Rephrase sentences into Professional, Casual, Concise, or Emotive tones backed by reliable server model configs (202504090000_writing_tools_config).
• Smart Edit: Context-aware editing and quick rephrasing tailored to your conversation.
• Unrestricted App Support: All app package restrictions removed (proofread_supported_apps), giving you AI writing tools across every text field and third-party application.
• Android 16 Quick Insert Safeguard: Robust null-safety protection when expanding AI writing tool suggestions and quick-insert spans on Android 16.
• Universal Support: Works across all keyboard languages and input modes.

3. Modern Spell Checker & Grammar Checking

• Android 12+ System Spell Checker (GboardSpellCheckerChipsPatch): Bytecode-level transformation hooking Gboard's spell checker compatibility check (lnz.cV), establishing full system spell checker compatibility on all Android 12+ devices.
• Inline Spell Checker Chips UI (#109): Enforces spellchecker_enable_chips_ui and spellchecker_enable_chips_ui_web_view so grammar suggestions and spelling corrections display directly as clickable chips in the suggestion strip.
• Red Squiggly Underline & Grammar Marking: Automatically initializes enable_mark_misspelled_words=true, pref_key_enable_grammar_checker=true, and show_suggestion_strip=true so native red squiggly underlines on misspelled words appear reliably in text input fields.
• Spell Checker Phenotype Flags: Enforces enable_spell_checker_extension, writing_helper_chip_in_spellchecker, enable_spell_checker_highlight_on_web_input, and enable_spell_checker_training_cache.
• System Rebranding: Full system spell checker service rebrand to PixelBoard Spell Checker across all system locales.

4. Scan Text / Camera OCR & Screenshot Floating Suggestion Banner

• Scan Text / OCR (Camera Viewfinder): Unlocks the dedicated "Scan text" camera tool in the toolbar (enable_ocr, config_ocr, ocr_password_allowlist, enabled_ocr_language_tags = *). Enforces android.permission.CAMERA in AndroidManifest.xml and opens a CameraX text-recognition viewfinder to capture and extract physical text directly at the cursor.
• Screenshot & Clipboard Image Floating Banner: Forces enable_clipboard_image_suggestion, enable_screenshot_notification_flow, enable_screenshot_chip, enable_clipboard_recent_screenshot, and clipboard_screenshot_enabled_at_least_once. Enforces READ_MEDIA_IMAGES and READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permissions. When enabled under PixelBoard Settings > Clipboard, screenshots appear instantly as a floating suggestion chip for 1-tap pasting.

5. Material 3 Expressive Rounded Keys (Belka UI) (#14)

• Modern Rounded Keycaps: Toggle Google's expressive Material 3 Belka pill-shaped keycaps on/off under Advanced Settings.
• Dynamic Flag Management: Automatically forces belka_rounded_keyboard, belka_ui, belka_background, more_pill_keys, and enable_rounded_keys flags at runtime.

6. Google Sans Flex Keycap Typography

• Google Sans Flex Font: Activates Google Sans Flex variable font rendering across keycaps and labels on Android 12+ (API 31+).
• Material 3 Expressive Styling: Dynamically manages google_sans_flex, platform_google_sans_flex, and gm3_expressive flags at runtime with a user preference toggle under Advanced Settings.

7. Proactive Undo Button in Suggestion Strip

• 1-Tap Proactive Undo: Surfaces an interactive Undo suggestion chip directly in the suggestion strip after autocorrections, text replacements, or deletion operations.
• Cooperative Undo Engine: Activates undo_proactive_post_correction, undo_proactive_auto_correction_cooperative, undo_enable_chunk_fusion, nga_enable_undo_delete, and threshold flags with a dedicated toggle under Advanced Settings.

10. Restored Emoji Size Slider, Quick Emoji & Magic Emoji Suggestions (#26, #97)

• Restored Emoji Size Slider: Unlocked the missing "Emoji size" slider preference and interactive preview row under Emojis, stickers & GIFs settings.
• Vibrant Suggestion Strip Emojis: Hooked candidate text view rendering to enforce full 100% paint opacity (alpha = 255) for emoji glyphs, eliminating dull or washed-out emoji suggestions in the suggestion strip.
• Emoji Fast-Access Row (Quick Emoji): Unlocked the native enable_fast_access_bar and bypassed Google's hardcoded 12-app whitelist (fast_access_bar_app_whitelist = *), placing the quick-emoji strip directly above the keyboard keys across all messaging apps and text fields.
• Magic Emoji Suggestions Button (Emojify): Unlocked the native enable_emojify and enable_emojify_settings_option with global locale and app support (enable_emojify_language_tags = *, emojify_app_allowlist = *), surfacing the interactive magic wand (🪄) button in the suggestion strip to automatically stylize and pepper drafts with matching emojis.

11. Empty Clipboard History Fix for Samsung One UI & Vivo (#17)

• Foreground Clipboard Sync: Hooks onStartInputView to guarantee ClipboardManager listener initialization and sync copied text into clipboard drawer history when typing, overcoming OEM background clipboard suppression on Samsung One UI and Vivo devices.

12. Instant Word Learning & Accurate Autocorrect (#33)

• Instant Word Learning & 2-Letter Prefix Suggestions: Lowered out-of-vocabulary learning threshold from 4 to 1 (intended_oov_min_count = 1) and activated Delight5 language model user history n-gram frequency, continuation scoring, and timestamp tracking (enable_pc_user_history_ngram_count, populate_ngram_count_with_context, enable_dynamic_lm_unigram_continuation_scoring). Frequently used words are learned instantly and suggested after typing just the first two letters.
• Automatic Emoji Suggestions: Enabled the Delight5 concept prediction engine and emoji shortcut candidates (enable_concept_prediction_engine, enable_rule_based_concept_prediction, enable_emoji_suggestion_from_top_candidate, enable_predictions_from_emoji_shortcuts, config_expression). Matching emojis are automatically suggested directly in the suggestion strip when typing relevant words.
• Streaming Gesture Touch Tagging & Beam Decoder: Smooth glide typing with update_streaming_touch_data_set_is_gesture, two-stage beam decoder (enable_two_stage_decoder), and spatial rescoring (enable_space_transposition_post_correction, enable_pk_spatial_model_features, enable_pk_auto_correction_trigger_predictor).

13. Multilingual UI (20+ Locales) & Bloat-Free Settings

• Native Localization in 20+ Languages: Fully translated Advanced Settings across English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Indonesian, Turkish, Vietnamese, Polish, Dutch, Thai, and Ukrainian (@string/pixelboard_patches_settings_title).
• Cleaned Settings Tree & Dictionary Preservation: Removed unwanted promotional bloatware ("Rate Gboard" / "Help & feedback") via semantic string key resolution, strictly preserving the native Dictionary (LatinDictionarySettingsFragment), Personal dictionary, and Physical keyboard preferences across all Gboard base updates (#91, #94).

14. Writing Tools V2 Support (Experimental)

• Suggested Style Chips & Prompt Bar: Pre-configured architecture for Google's modern "Suggested" style chips and the freeform "Describe your edit" prompt bar.
• Intelligent Hardware Gating: Integrated with hardware/model eligibility checks to prevent unexpected errors or crashes on unsupported devices.

15. Device-Gated AI Inference Backend Selector (New in v18.4)

On supported devices (such as Google Pixel 8 Pro / 9 series), choose your preferred inference pipeline directly under Advanced Settings:

• GBOARD_SERVER (Google Cloud Server Inference)
• PRIVATE_INFERENCE_AICORE (On-Device Private Android AICore)
• PRIVATE_INFERENCE_ASTREA (On-Device Astrea Framework)
• Dynamically hidden on unsupported hardware to maintain a clutter-free, native experience.

16. Automatic Live Activation — Zero Restarts Required

• Instant Hot-Reload: Toggling Rambler Voice Typing, switching AI Writing Tools preferences, or changing inference backend options applies automatically in real time without restarting Gboard, force-closing the app, or rebooting your phone.
• Zero-Friction Workflow: Features are synchronized across the keyboard process dynamically — simply configure your desired options and start typing or dictating right away.
• Optional Manual Reload: Advanced Settings retains an optional Restart (↻) button solely as a convenience tool, but manual restarts are no longer mandatory.

17. Safe Coexistence & Instant Bypass

• Side-by-Side Installation: Installs with app label PixelBoard alongside stock Google Keyboard.
• Custom Adaptive Icon: Bundles PixelBoard's custom high-resolution Material You adaptive app icon for home launcher and settings.
• Signature Whitelist Bypass: Pre-patched bytecode ensures Google Play signature checks and integrity verifications pass cleanly without root.

18. Extended Clipboard History Retention Duration (New Feature)

• Save Clips for Up to 30 Days or Permanently: Break free from stock Gboard's rigid 24-hour limit! PixelBoard lets you choose exactly how long copied text and items are saved in your clipboard history with 5 customizable tiers:
  • 1 hour
  • 24 hours (Stock default)
  • 7 days (1 week)
  • 30 days (1 month)
  • Never (Permanent / Manual deletion only)
• Accessible Everywhere: Configurable directly under Gboard Settings > Clipboard and inside PixelBoard Settings.
• Crash-Free Migration: Automatically migrates previously saved retention preferences (e.g. stock 24h at index 6 → new index 1) and safely clamps slider values, eliminating layout crashes.

19. Comprehensive TalkBack & Screen Reader Accessibility Overhaul (#65, #66, #67)

• Unified Row Semantics: Introduces AccessibleRow merging switch, radio, and choice rows into single TalkBack controls with unified roles and states, eliminating redundant navigation stops.
• Focus Preservation Across Dynamic Rebuilds: Automatically tracks and restores TalkBack focus across real-time screen rebuilds or smoothly shifts focus to the page title on new pages.
• Accessible Headings & Spoken Feedback: Marks section and toolbar titles as headings (API 28+), adds keyboard preview hints, announces spoken warnings, and speaks restart confirmations.

20. Complete Arabic (ar) Localization (#53)

• Full Arabic Translations: Complete Arabic language localization covering all Advanced Settings, AI Writing Tools, and Rambler dictation preferences.

[!NOTE] Google Pixel Device Requirement: New advanced features (such as Writing Tools V2 and the On-Device AI Inference Backend Selector) are available only on Google Pixel devices (e.g., Pixel 8 Pro / Pixel 9 series) due to system AICore and hardware model requirements. On non-Pixel Android devices, these specific options are automatically hidden or gated to ensure complete stability, while core features like Gemini Rambler Natural Voice Typing, AI Proofread, and Tone Rewriting work across all supported devices.

🛠️ Building & Patching

1. Instant 1-Click Build (100% Offline)

Place your stock Gboard APK at input/gboard.apk, then run:

./build.sh

This runs completely offline using the pre-bundled patches/PixelBoard.mpp and tools/patcher.jar. It automatically patches, aligns, and signs output/PixelBoard.apk.

2. Rebuilding Patch Bundle from Source (Optional)

If you modify any Smali or Kotlin patch code inside pixelboard-patches/:

./build.sh --rebuild

This recompiles the .mpp patch pack using Gradle and immediately applies it to the stock APK.

3. Running Test Suite

Verify patch bytecode transformations and contract integrity:

cd pixelboard-patches
JAVA_HOME=/opt/homebrew/opt/openjdk@21 ./gradlew test

4. Manual CLI Usage (Requires Java 21)

java -jar tools/patcher.jar patch \
  --patches=patches/PixelBoard.mpp \
  --options-file=options.json \
  --striplibs=arm64-v8a \
  -o=output/PixelBoard.apk \
  -r=output/patching-result.json \
  input/gboard.apk
