Pixel 4a – Calyx lifespan
Swift Backup requires another app called Shizuku to run batch restores of apps and to backup external app data. The backup provider, Seedvault, is not super reliable, but I do like it when it works and I've had good luck with it myself. It's helped me a lot on restores and even helped me jump from ROM to ROM! A tip when backing up: look at progress, success and failure of the backup by pulling down the notification shade. If the backup keeps failing, go into Backup Status, click on the menu on the upper right hand side and select "exclude apps". You are probably trying to back up too many apps at a time, start with excluding apps at the bottom of the list that do not allow data backup. Don't worry, Swift backup will grab them.

Root-Like Apps for Root-Like Power on Pixel Without Root Using On-Device ADB With Shizuku!
Hello. Now, for security's sake many of us do not like to use root or choose not to root due to breaking verified boot or lack of knowledge. But what is one to do if they desire some good backup tools, want to freeze apps, or just have some fun? Never fear, Shizuku is here! If you've never heard of it, it's the famous root tool, the package of Linux command line tools known as Shu packages into an app. It utilizes on-device ADB, also known as wireless debugging, to start a server that other apps can connect to, and utilize it's power!

Tasker no longer?
Shizuku seems to be a reliable way to get Root-like permissions in a device that doesn't have root. João could potentially bypass the need for Tasker Settings and the Tasker Permissions by using Shizuku.

You can start Shizuku AUTOMATICALLY on boot completely rootless
on their github page, they do explain why apps that support shizuku do still gain advantages on root (that is also why theres some root only apps that use shizuku

F-Droid, Keyboard Libraries, and Choosing a Browser
I didn't last long with the stock keyboard before installing AnySoftKeyboard which is one of the few FOSS alternative with support for swipe typing. The experience was... OK. It felt slow and it's accuracy left a lot to be desired. I still had to be slow and pretty accurate, so it didn't really feel like much of a change from the stock experience. FlorisBoard have also introduced their own implementation but the feedback I read suggested it would be much the same as my experience with AnySoftKeyboard's gesture typing.

CleverType: Unlock the power of AI with Grammarly, Wordtune and ChatGpt on your keyboard.
I am excited to see how this project will develop. I'm sure starting out with https://florisboard.org/ was extremely helpful. Other devs have started from scratch, but florisboard is already advanced and feature rich. You could keep it open source to alleviate concerns of privacy. Just an idea.

Android keyboard recommendations ?
The Github code repository (https://github.com/florisboard/florisboard) had an update on February 24, so the app is not abandoned. It reads like they plan a massive update for the next version, and word suggestions will be available.

Keyboard for Android
I tested two: AnySoftKeyboard, it's stable and works even on very old devices, but it lacks modern features and the settings are really ugly and confusing (but once you look at all of them, you'll be able to make the keyboard the way you like it, is very customizable). And I also tested FlorisBoard, it's modern, beautiful, but it's a work in progress currently in early-beta stage and it has many incomplete or buggy features. So I ended up with AnySoftKeyboard. I know there are others, but it was these two projects that caught my attention the most.

Custom keyboard extension
Probably only via AOSP mirror. It's an AOSP component so not officially available as its own component. Check out https://github.com/florisboard/florisboard for a GitHub based OSS keyboard.

Microsoft brings its Bing chatbot to your fingertips with SwiftKey on Android - The Verge
FlorisBoard (perhaps): This one is the dark horse for me. It's layout etc can be all customized to my liking and it's FOSS. But it doesn't have a suggestion provider API etc none of that yet (WIP) so, as it stands now it's "just" a highly customizable FOSS "keyboard" app, and nothing more. I have high hopes for it though.
What are some alternatives?
LSPosed - LSPosed Framework
OpenBoard - 100% foss keyboard based on AOSP, with no dependency on Google binaries, that respects your privacy.
