The directory test2 was deleted after confirming the results.īasically, what I did here was to move to the /data subdirectory which contains the actual internal storage. I am not affiliated to either Termux or its author.

The underlying /data partition was formatted as ext4. These tests have been performed on LineageOS 14.1 (Android 7.1.2), via the Termux terminal emulator, using a directory called test which contained 9414 files whose size ranged from one to five bytes.

This issue is probably caused by Android allowing access to the internal storage via FUSE (Filesystem in USErspace), as the internal storage itself is just a subdirectory of the /data partition. It magically changes swiftkey's tap on words and other behaviours. Just crawl through Exi's settings and you'll find the right checkboxes.

Install the Android Xposed Framework and Xposed Installer (may not work (yet) on the latest version(s) of android) (needs root, but you can unroot after the install if you must).ĭownload and install the "Exi for Swiftkey" Xposed module (github). If you're concerned about Swiftkey privacy now you can install a firewall that blocks or monitors its internet access. Best security is on rooted phones unless you're really unsavvy in which case it's just as bad as not rooting. The following steps will de-suck Swiftkey and solve all your keyboard problems: You keep accidentally tapping on dot instead of space while typing quickly and you can't change the layout.

It doesn't let you capitalize the next letter after space only after pressing space after the dot, ie if you weren't writing a url. It always inserts a space after a period, making urls or "e.g." impossible to write. It doesn't solve the question's problem, which is a crime against human competence. Future captain me here with an answer! Apparently this tap on word + cursor placement thing is not managed by the OS but by the keyboard app you use.
