Sacré bleu !
Based on my previous failed experiments, I was not expecting to get so close on the first try (well, first now that I'm working with a functioning keyboard). By "this," I mean swipe typing using wvkbd and swipeGuess, btw.
Obviously, my word list needs tweaking. There are some words that are just impossible to swipe due to similarly located results that take precedent, but it should be possible to refine over time. There is...

That's amazing! Getting swipe-capable on-screen keyboard work together with swmo/sxmo would be my dream mobile setup. I probably won't be using Phosh though — I don't use a lot of apps, so I would be fine with a simpler launcher.
Is this Poco F1? Damn, I should've got it instead of Poco X3 Pro.
How's the battery life with PMOS?
@m0xee Oh, and the battery life is actually stunning. The OnePlus 6T doesn't have a massive battery, so either OnePlus has done some serious magic in hardware, or this thing is just sipping power. It's not like Note9 >1 day battery life, but it's at the very least comparable to a decent phone running Android, I'd say. Will have to collect some actual data though.
@gordoooo_z
Do normal voice phone calls work fine on 6T? PMOS hardware wiki claims they don't, but that is often just out of date.
@m0xee Yeah I've had zero issues with calls or audio in general. When I first installed it, incoming calls were fine, but I couldn't hear anything with outgoing calls, but it turns out the call audio was just turned all the way down for some reason. I went into the Sound settings, switched the profile to Make a Call, turned up the slider, and it's been fine ever since. My assumption is that the Wiki is just outdated. That, or maybe I just got lucky?
@gordoooo_z
Nah, probably it's just outdated — speaking from experience, it's not uncommon for communities working on making more mobile devices compatible to be too self-absorbed — not notifying the outside world on the progress they make. When you arrive at their group chat and ask where to start, there are usually no guides — no nothing, and no one can't even remember how they did it themselves, because it was long time ago for them 😂
@gordoooo_z
Well, anyway — good to know about 6T, I'll look into getting a used one. Poco X3 Pro was great for me to check out alternative mobile operating systems: it can run Sailfish, Ubuntu Touch/UBPorts and Droidian — all daily-drivable, albeit shorter battery life. But daily driving a PMOS device with swmo/swmo was always my dream 🤩
@m0xee I haven't given Sxmo a try yet. As much as I love the tiling window manager on the desktop, I'm not convinced it would have much use on a narrow 6" screen. Not without a hardware keyboard anyway.
My vision is to either find or make something like the Pinephone Keyboard. Basically turning my smartphone into something like those HP palmtops from the '90s. If the Pine64 one was more universal (it connects to the phone through some test points under the back cover), I ...
@m0xee ...would just get one and print a new top half to fit the OnePlus (not that it wouldn't be possible to convert it to USB or Bluetooth with a Teensy or something, but if I can find something that won't require as much hacking, I will).
@m0xee No the Poco F1 died (I killed it while installing a new battery). This is a OnePlus 6T.
Considering this is the keyboard from sxmo, you shouldn't have too much trouble pulling off that dream setup of yours.
I'm just piping the output through swipeguess: `wvkbd-mobintl -O | swipeGuess "wordlist.txt" | completelyTypeWord.sh`
