I installed it from http://droidmuff.in/downloads/swype-preview/ and i unchecked the android keyboard and checked swype, but its still using the stok keyboard.
Yes...now that you've done that, you need to go somewhere where there is a text input box and long press on it until a menu comes up. Click "input method" and select "swype", then it willow work. It keeps popping up resolution error messages, but it does work.

This may turn out to be an inane question, but I have had my unlocked Galaxy S I9000 for two weeks and have not been able to figure out how to turn on the Swipe keyboard feature. I have suffered through the tutorial where the feature worked just fine but unless I overlooked something there was no mention of turning the feature either on or off. All of the feature's adjustments under the settings heading appear to be initiated so, what have I missed?
Thank you in advance.
On my hero I have to first go into SETTINGS, LANGUAGE & KEYBOARD, then de-select my htc keyboard and select swype

Hold your finger where you input text, go to input method and select swype.

Hello all
I have swype 1.6. I've had this version for a while now. I used to be on 2.2 OTA. Today, I downgraded, rooted, and installed CyanogedMod 6. I installed swype again, but this time, instead of a "Return" key in the bottom right of the keyboard, there is this useless smiley
a) I look in the settings; couldn't find anything
b) I'm confused as to why a smiley shows up now on CM, but wasn't there on 2.2 OTA
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
For me, it shows up in Google Voice, but not the HTC text app, and I think it's shown up once or twice in other apps. If you hold it down, it'll bring up more , ect.
I kind of like it.
It's there based on what the keyboard detects you're typing in. For example, if it thinks you're typing in an IM/Text/MMS, it'll put a smiley. If it's a search/URL/input bar, it'll be return, etc.
sounds like you are using handcent
if so, follow this to undo it
in handcent, menu -> settings -> app settings -> action key type -> select enter instead of smile

Thanksssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!
I installed swiftkey today to play around with it but uninstalled it. However now the input method menu option is still showing in text fields, even though android keyboard is the only choice. Anyone know how to get rid of this? Restarting and reinstalling / uninstalling swiftkey did not help. Thanks.
try clearing data for the keyboard?

Nice idea....no dice though!
Well this is odd...I restored a nandroid from before I installed swiftkey (only had android keyboard as an option) and the input method menu option is still there. Is this how its always been on cyanogenmod or something and I never noticed? I know it used to not show up, but now I don't know when that changed.

So you got it working? If not then go into MENU>SETTINGS>LANGUAGEAND KEYBOARDS and puput a check mark in the box for your keyboard and then long press in a text field and it should be there.
I think the problem is that he can't get the option for the keyboard to go away, not that he can't get it to show up. I've never heard of a problem like this. How did you uninstall Swiftkey?

Yeah that's the problem, its not that the option for swiftkey is still there, its that the "input method" menu option is present in all text field context menus, and when you choose it, the only option is "android keyboard". I believe that in the past, if you only had one keyboard, "input method" did not show up at all. So I restored a nandroid to before I installed swiftkey, and "input method" is still showing despite having only one keyboard, which is why I'm confused.
I just uninstalled swiftkey the regular way from the running tab of applications.
So, if you're running cm6.1, do you see "input method" even with only one keyboard installed?
Ahhh, I see. The input method will always show up, regardless of how many keyboards you have. This happens to everyone and to my knowledge it isn't a bug.

Okay thanks for clearing that up. I believe with the stock Sense ROM it removed that option when only one keyboard was enabled, but I guess I never noticed it didn't behave that way in AOSP/Cyanogen.
I have a new Dell Streak factory unlocked. For some reason the option to use alternate keyboards is not available. I have other android devices and it gives my the option to select input settings. My streak running 2.2 has no option for this even though I see my swift key and smart keyboard listed. Any suggestions?
Thank you

Long press in any text box and you'll get an option for "input method". Click on that and you'll will get a menu for your installed keyboards. Select your favorite and you're good to go!
Keyboards have to be enabled before you can select them.
Go to Menu->Settings->Language & keyboard
All of the keyboards you have will be listed. Make sure the box by each is checked. Then you can select them by long tapping an active text area.

When using my Axon 7, I noticed that whenever I long press the capacitive home button, it opens up Google voice. I'm using Nova Launcher on root and even though there is an option to change it, it doesn't work. Does anyone know how to change this?

Have you rooted yours yet? And are you sure it's Google Voice? If anything it should be the Google app.

I am sorry for any confusion. Let me explain more clearly. I am currently rooted. Also, I did not mean Google Voice. I simply meant that long-pressing the the capacitive home button launches the Google app. I want to remove that and select something else. If it can't be done then that is all that I want to know. I'll live. It really isn't a big deal. I just hope that someone has an answer.

Apologies, I didn't see that you did say you were rooted. Not sure why it won't work with Nova. I thought perhaps it might have something to do with root. Although it shouldn't.

Go to Settings. Go to All Settings. Press the search icon. Type "assist". Choose "Assist & voice input" then choose "Assist & voice input" again. Then choose what you want there.

if I type assist in the search it finds nothing?!
If you have root and xposed works on it then you could try "xposed additions". Remapping home to flashlight has revolutionised how I pee at night
Has anyone figured out how to do this? I've tried every setting and app and rooted app under the sun. Absolutely nothing disables this "feature".

This method working just fine. Even with EU model. Thanks :good:
"Go to Settings. Go to All Settings. Press the search icon. Type "assist". Choose "Assist & voice input" then choose "Assist & voice input" again. Then choose what you want there."
Make sure you tap on the words "Assist & voice input" NOT on the gear icon. Then you should be able to change the setting to none. Then you can use Nova to make the changes you want.
