PawelSpoon (https://github.com/PawelSpoon/OkBoard) made some tiny changes to allow OKBoard on devices like the Xperia XA2 Plus. It offers an exellent user experience on that device in my opinion, but as the creator of OKBoard (eber42) states in https://openrepos.net/content/eber42/okboard, he won't support devices he can't test himself.

So this "experimental" version is just a rebuild of the offical OKBoard, but it allows some unsupported dimensions of keyboards. So please, no feature requests or bug reports, as there is no support for this version from the author.

Do NOT install this version if your device is already supported, but just use the regular version in that case. This version will conflict the offical version anyway.

Devices with good user experience:

Xperia XA2 Plus
Jolla Tablet

Devices with mediocre user experience

Gigaset GS290 Volla phone (The line does not always look super smooth, especially near the borders, but the text is fine)

The version uploaded is the latest from eber42, working on SFOS 4.5.

If other, similar devices are reported to work or not (that I can't test) I could add them to the current list of devices.

Can write on gs 290, volla phone. The line does not allways look super smooth, especially near the borders, but the text is fine. Thanks again for building it. It wouldbe cool if we could know, how to provide the propper params based on device specs. maybe eber42 can tell us some day.
