A clock on the notification ring and a nightstand clock while charging, Sym pages that open at
once, emoji tones remembered, and dictation that leaves your cursor where you put it.

  • A clock on the notification ring: a dim time, date and (optionally) grey icons of the apps
    waiting, never their text, shifting slightly every minute so nothing burns in. Notification
    ring > "Show the clock". Off by default.
  • A nightstand clock: with "Stay on while charging", the clock comes up whenever the screen goes
    off on the charger and stays until you unplug, unlock, touch or press a key. Power puts it away
    until the next wake. Off by default. (The Titan has no true always-on display; this keeps the
    screen on at its lowest brightness.)
  • Browsers with a bottom toolbar (Vivaldi) no longer lose the bottom of the screen while you type:
    PhysiBoard no longer puts up an empty keyboard window, which on gesture navigation cost apps a
    strip at the bottom. Back now goes straight to the app.
  • The snippet popup sits just above the line you're typing on.
  • A ring Android declined to show no longer silences every ring after it.
  • After dictating, tapping elsewhere in the message leaves the cursor where you tapped, and a
    symbol from the Sym page goes in there instead of replacing the dictated sentence.
  • Sym pages open without the lag: the Emoji page and the key pages are kept ready instead of
    being built on every press, the emoji grid only draws what is on screen, and a page is on
    screen from its first frame.
  • "Open Sym pages on press" (Sym pages > Sym key) shows the page as soon as Sym goes down. Off
    by default; with it on, a Sym+key shortcut flashes the page.
  • The emoji picker remembers the skin tone you pick for each emoji, like your phone's own emoji
    keyboard; picking the plain one forgets it. The tone popup no longer closes the page before you
    can pick.
  • Emoji that come in other skin tones show a small corner mark in the picker; long-press one to
    pick a tone.
  • The Shift/Alt/Sym badge at the cursor hides while a Sym page is open, so it no longer draws
    over the page.

Install: on 3.3 this arrives by itself (Help > Updates). Otherwise download physiboard-3.4.0.apk and open it; it updates 3.x and 2.x in place and keeps your settings. Signing certificate SHA-256: 89a050fcb37aa14a16d77c737c70caaebdc4c7f10156f9dc8933adb3499c3261.
