After 14 days you need an app to restart your sensor (I was using OpenLibre NFC - it can be found here on GitHub, if the link doesn't contain an apk, you can build an apk using the provided instructions. I did, however, downloaded the apk file it via F-Droid)

F-Droid, Keyboard Libraries, and Choosing a Browser

After reading a lengthy GitHub discussion at the Openboard repo that went into the logistical options and challenges I decided to go with the less-than-ideal option of using Helium314's Openboard fork with the proprietary Google swipe library (libjni_latinimegoogle.so) imported. I've been using it for a few weeks now and though it feels slightly different than the Gboard I'm used to, the difference has been negligible and I'll be sticking with this setup for the foreseeable future.

You can give OpenBoard a try till florisboard is a complete app... And also... My case is also same in terms of boost... So imho the best thing you can do is used a cleaned apk of boost (basically a cleaned version of the app with all ads, trackers and analytics disabled)
