I'm looking for a privacy-respecting open-source android keyboard, and so far I've found:

Does anyone have any experience with these (or other alternative keyboards)? Which one would you recommend?

Related: how good privacy wise is the default AOSP keyboard found in no-Google-services ROMs like Lineage and /e/? Does it still phone home?

Any of them have good support for foldables? (I.e. Full keyboard on cover screen, thumb keyboard on main screen)

It's a long shot, but does anyone know if CJK languages (not romanizations) are supported in any of these?

Try https://github.com/osfans/trime. It has multiple input schemas (i.e. pinyin, zhuyin, cangjie, etc.) to choose from, and they are great for typing Chinese. Admittedly it only supports the C in CJK, but it is absolutely worth a try if you don't need Japanese or Korean.

I personally use FlorisBoard on Graphine OS and I'm quite happy with it. Been using it for over a month now, it did take a couple days to get used to it.

Try Thumb-Key. It's a keyboard made by Lemmy's main developer. It uses a rather exotic layout, but once you get used to it, it is so much better than qwerty.

Oh wow, that is different.

I use OpenBoard. It's good, but my only problem is the lack of images being copied to the clipboard unlike my default keyboard.
