I'm Rhys, the solo developer for HarmoniKeyboard, HKeyboard (coming to EMUI soon), HCloud and more coming soon.

I wanted to make a post to just ask for feedback whenever needed.

I built HarmoniKeyboard for myself, got it published to the AppGallery (CN) due to people asking a me and here we are now, almost 4 months in and I have a keyboard, backup app and currently developing a couple of other apps.

I do ask anyone that wants to support this to visit my Ko-Fi account https://ko-fi.com/harmonikeyboard/goal?g=13 It helps massively!

So, this post, if you have feedback for HarmoniKeyboard or any other Apps, get in touch, I have responded to everyone that I know of so far and will continue to do so. I'm currently working on a huge optimization and language overhaul on V2.1.16 which is taking longer than expected, but it will be worth it.

Any reviews put on the AppGallery, just know that of I haven read the review, I will hit the "thumbs up" button as I cannot reply on there. But all reviews have been noted and low ratings due to bugs have been fixed.

once V2.1.16 Is uploaded, I will be finished HCalculator and Updating HCloud. Also HKeyboard will be almost ready for release too.

I love this theme. It's great at night and people can't read it 😂

Makes me feel smart, even though I'm using claude

HarmoniKeyboard V2.1.16 is underway. Now that I have permissions for clipboard and the keyboard can read the input method properly, I am able to get a much more accurate typing and gliding experience.

The keyboard has been somewhat, unfinished. V2.1.15 is uploaded and waiting approval, once that is up, you will notice a nice difference to the keyboard. Especially the suggestionbar and the way the suggestion shortcuts now look and work. Gives you more space to breath.

V2.1.16 will be bringing typing improvements, making sure you can type faster with less mistakes, as an example, before, you could write a sentence, then backspace all the way back and it would still show the Suggestion Bar showing empty but active, that's fixed.

Typing "Hey, what's going on tomorrow? Did you want to go for a walk?" Backspacing all of that would just be removing it, now, backspace to the "tomorrow?" will turn Caps on, because it now recognizes the "?" is there, same with "." and backspacing to remove everything, will Auto-Caps too.

When gliding words, like "Hey, what's weclome?" that weclome? will correct to welcome?, if you now click backspace directly after that "?" is inserted, it will undo the auto-correct while leaving the "?" there.

HarmoniKeyboard is beginning to look and feel great, older devices are getting optimizations on the keyboard, trying to get the keyboard to read the phone settings so the keyboard can adapt to the phone spec is the difficult part as it's another "Permissions" wall, but I'm pushing and making sure it happens.

Your continued support means the world to me and helps progress these apps to help progress your experience with your HarmonyOS devices. HKeyboard is under heavy development right now and is feeling great, but needs a lot of refinements in the visual department and settings all wired up, this takes a lot of time.

Show your support here: https://ko-fi.com/harmonikeyboard and put a smile on my face!

This is an awesome update! Just you wait!

The keyboard works as a keyboard should, apart from certain restrictions like voice input language, draw to type.

You can do a lot more with HarmoniKeyboard now, check this video out! V2.1.15 coming soon.

Well chuffed. As always, if you want to show your support and support me to go further develop this keyboard and future apps, go here: https://ko-fi.com/harmonikeyboard

After a few bug reports and languages to be added, I have managed to complete the bugs and languages and Japanese Flick input to tap input too.

I am currently just modifying the immersive effects, then will optimize the keyboard to work smoother on older devices.

Gotta say, this is ny favourite addition to HarmoniKeyboard and this colour for the immersion is perfect.

What's yours?

Appreciate feedback like this, especially knowing someone from the UK is using it. Melts me. ❤️

I'm a little confused. My Huawei Mate 70 Pro+ is using a Global Account, running HarmonyOS 4.3. No chinese account linked to it. Yet, I have this update for it?

You normally have to have a Chinese account to update, correct me if I'm wrong?

New update, let's see what it does!

Hi everyone, Rhys here from GB Tech Reviews | HProductions.

I write all my posts myself to keep things as genuine as possible.

Lately, I've had a few donations coming in which I feel absolutely blessed for. I actually went this month without missing all of my bills. Which is insane!

It helps motivate me to carry on with what I'm doing and knowing I'm actually doing something right, I'm a lone wolf, no friends or anything like that. I have my wife and 3 kids, after going onto disability, she and they have been a godsend which kept me alive for the passed couple of years and it's amazing.

Now, doing this and having so much positive feedback and issues for me to resolve, it has helped even more with my confidence. This is specifically HarmoniKeyboard related, seems to be the most used app I have, which I'm surprised to be honest that HCloud isn't being used as much.

My plan: I am currently waiting for a new update for HCloud and HarmoniKeyboard to be approved, I have a couple of other projects I am building but struggling with which is why they are taking so long to hit the AppGallery. HEditor is looking great, but because I have a Premium Version of it inside, I have to wait some time to get approved for payments, this will be the first time I have built something that people can buy, if this kicks off and works and people actually pay for something I use, that would be insane! I was a car detailer 2 years ago, but due to physical and mental health issues, I had to stop and close shop and it was starting to go really well, but that's just given me the push to do something I actually seem to be doing right now.

As I write this, I am waiting for my new app HCalculator to finish it's build on my phone so I can go through a few more things on there, it's going to be a professional calculator. This will be aimed at everyone that uses calculators. It has a lot of features in there, organized in the best possible way that I can think of, Calculator, Notebook, Graph, Conversion tool too. One of the best features so far is something I have always wanted to build and it's a "Natural" calculator. So typing inside it "split my £198.78 bill into 3" or "25% tip on a £450 bill", it is reacting well with this, I need to add a lot of different phrases as if it was me typing I would be typing "how much is this bill?!?!?!?!" 😂

Anyway, I feel like I may have made some friends on here and especially on Telegram, the one guy that's really helped me get to where I am right now helped me start first, if he didn't guide me through the process, I wouldn't have any of these apps on the AppGallery. His name is Sajjad. He's a great guy!

I will continue to upload to TikTok and try to get more videos out about HarmonyOS and Huawei in general, I aim to sell a few things to buy the Mate 90 Pro Max when it's released, it's not very likely I would get the funds, but I will find a way.

So after a couple of months trying get the custom background feature to work, I finally have it working.

It is a long way round to getting it on your keyboard but it's worth it if you like your own backgrounds.

So, the next job I now have is making sure when I publish it, Huawei don't reject it. 🤔 So wish me luck with that one.

Easy, HCloud will have a new feature, connect to your Google account that you want to transfer your files, photos or videos from, open HCloud, Select what you want to move over to your device and hit "Backup" You can either copy everything over, or move everything over.

Speeds will vary to your connection and/or Googles servers.

This is a feature I will be using, I really struggle getting all my files from Google so I can close my account, now this is how I will do it for testing, I will transfer over 10,000 files over to my PC.

This update is under development, I will test it, I'm excited to see how it goes and to share it with you all!

Remember, if you like what I'm doping for the Global Huawei community that want HarmonyOS to be more usable, click https://ko-fi.com/harmonikeyboard this link and show your appreciation. This app will be game changing for cloud/backup services. I have big plans.
