Openboard is virtually dead from what I can see. So that leaves Florisboard as the only open source alternative (that I know of) that could really be used by the masses. And the world would actually be a way better place if we all opensource freaks could install Florisboard on our family/friends phones and them barely noticing anything weird.

The problem is... no word suggestions yet. It's been years and we are still lacking what is almost an essential feature of a phone's keyboard.

I wish I could really work on it, but I lack the knowledge to do so; so I hope I am bringing some attention to the project.

Is there any other alternative I am unaware of?

What features does it have that aren't present in AnySoftKeyboard?

I wrote a long reply to another comment in this thread. You can check it.

By word suggestions do you mean autocorrect?

Word suggestions when you type a few letters. But yes it's autocorrect is severely lacking.

Is there some way to get rid of the massive utility row?

I believe it's called "smart bar". It can be disabled.

Or customize long press length?

Yes

Or have only punctuatiom symbols on the period and numbers in the qwerty row?

I don't know about this.
