The only problem with swype is the interference with the select text feature in sense when double tapping a word to change it in swype

True. Only if the phone ships with Swype can anyone include it in a ROM or post the .apk. Otherwise have to sign up for the Swype beta. I think they give XDA a hard time and make legal threats and such whenever anyone posts an unauthorized copy.

lol.. What he's getting at skzdlmt is you shouldn't be doing that, more because it's not right to not support the devs' work as opposed to it being 'illegal'.
On topic, I'd love to know how I can get Swype working. Whenever I try to open the installer it FCs.

All true. And to appeal to selfishness, it's also dangerous. You don't know what kind of ish you're downloading.
ON TOPIC: I had that problem on NFX's but I don't on MikShift or CM7. It's weird because I've seen others say they have it on MikShift but not NFX's.
^ Shift Faced

Yeah definitely odd, running MikShift and it's giving me the FCs. Hopefully something gets worked out, shame because they just released an update for it..

Been running Swype for almost a week now. I have been having problems with the swype function suddenly not working. The keyboard is still functional, I just can't swype my finger across the keyboard. This has happened 4 or 5 times now. Simply deselecting Swype and reinstalling via the Swype Installer fixes the issue.
Any others experiencing the same?

Happens on any reboot. It's documented on the swype website. Easier to switch to another keyboard then back, rather than uninstall and re install

Totally agree....

Running SWYPE with NFX odex. The only time it breaks is when I reboot the phone. I just restore it via Titanium Backup.

Did you get any notification or anything that would let you know this was happening?
This pertains to my interests. Please upload files so that I may have sexy time with them.
i suddenly noticed it today
Just as I posted, I noticed my screen came on. So I went to unlock my phone to see wtf was up and a notification box came up. I was dragging the unlock button simultaneously as this happened, and it disappeared. I really, really want to know what it said. I feel lucky for an update of some sort.
So what exactly does this look/do? I wanna see if mine updated or not lol

I guess the best part is an 'update all' button. though I didn't think that the froyo market worked on 2.1 but maybe i'm wrong..
If you think about it, none of the froyo market features really required the jit compiler or c2dm that froyo has so it should work on 2.1 easily

Just don't get confused by the filename. remove the '.zip' from the end, then install like a normal apk.

Looks like good stuff. Has anyone tested most the features? enterprise mail? google apps? all the basic stuff? Who's first to compile a list of what doesn't work?
I'll be looking forward to someone getting this fully functional. I'm sure it won't take too long now that the discovery was made.
I have the physical keyboard 100% working Im trying to figure out the camera right now. Im not the smartest guy in the world, and i figured this out, so i give it til next weekend and we should have a few more options...

CM7 nightly 8 and Swype

Hello,
Running CM7 nightly 8 on my hero. I cannot get swype to work correctly, even with the latest release of the app. The installer works, updates, installs, even selects and configures the keyboard. However, when I actually go to type with it, no matter what key I press, the entire keyboard gets boxed and beeps loudly. Sounds exactly like a pre-boot PC speaker beep. Any ideas? If it works with a later version of CM7 I'd gladly upgrade. Anyone else have this issue?
8? We're on 30. Try the latest and see if that resolves the issue.
Can you type normal, just no swyping? If so, try long press on a text field and change to the android board, the for it again to go back to swype. See if it works then.

Switching input has always worked for me as well. I have to do this every time i flash the newest rom.
Thanks - that worked. For some reason installing and enabling swype through the installer didnt work for me over multiple tries, but installing, then disabling, then enabling through settings worked. Thanks.

However, if the cursor is in the word you wish to correct, you can tap the Swype key to do so.
Where can I get swype? I had it earlier on like darchstar 2.7, but I haven't found one. I hope this isn't "illegal" of me by asking.

Not illegal as such, though its considered warez because Swype asked for the apk to not be posted. If you really want it sign up for the beta.

Swype 3.0 !

Heyy guys ! They just released swype 3.0 ! It is so much better than swype was ! It actually works as a qwerty stock keyboard ! and it rocks! I recommend it to everyone.

Yep, just installed it, typing with multitouch is neat, but a little laggy. The actual swype-ing is smooth though.

And I've missed the tap to change words.
I started using swype recently and I like their keyboard more than the stock CM one so I'm happy as it is. Thanks for the info though.
Thanks for the heads up! Will go get this from the beta page
did they improve their default dictionary? last release was missing some essential words with apostrophes like "you're" for example. Really annoying.
edit: answered my own question after updating. all the words with apostrophes are now included. LOVING this new version of swype.
The new version rocks!

I really like the functionality of swype, I just wish the keyboard wasn't so damn ugly..
does the new version have a mic?
Yes it does. The last version had a mic. Well on mine it did.
Hmm.... Just decided to go with the latest version other than a slightly hacked version I'd been using for a while. This version doesn't swype at all. I can type normally, but swyping doesn't do anything.
Any ideas?
Nevermind, says invalid license, even though I just installed it through the official installer... Just didn't complete the install properly I guess.

I was reading somewhere that they were cool with metamorph skins to change the look of it...but I was having trouble finding a walkthrough for how to install said skins...haven't gone back to look again yet.
Yeah, there's actually a warm-themed swype to use with warm z that looks fantastic but I don't like having to use metamorph and I'm not sure if it would work on other roms..

better keyboard. i try them all, but keep going back to better keyboard. swype keyboard has improved much as well
Swiftkey X. No question. Especially if you regularly use more than one language.
Honestly, I tried switching from Swype, it was annoying me alot with the popup suggestions etc.
I tried possibly EVERY keyboard - i won't lie. I pirated a few just to try and ended up not liking them, this is how i test if a app is good enough for me to use and then actually buy. I'm not spending 5$ on a app and then not ever use it ever again... - anyways, I've tried almost every keyboard.
Then Swype got a update, smoother look, and the suggestion in the bottom.
I'm back with swype.
Fast typing? Swype. FOR SURE.
but then again it depends, do you feel comfortable swyping? or do you like to just click the letters and actually type?
Answer that question, and people may point you into a more accurate area.
Thanks everyone! I guess I will try these keyboards out!
