Hi Guys,
I hope this isn't a stupid question but I'm looking for the Swype keyboard for our new Android OS. I looked in the android app store and even on the Swype website but can't see any download links. I'm guessing it's available so would anyone have a link/app they can point me in the direction of?
Thanks in advance
I second this. I found a few apk's for the droid etc but most of them are expired beta trials and/or aren't suitable for the screen res.
here you go guys

I an using it on my xperia and love it but its still officially in beta our licensed to phone manufacturer only right now. I an on my phone right now so I can't search for it but you might be able to find the.apk and install it. if I find the link latter I'll post it.

Is Swype working on the HD2 for you guys? I have access to the official beta but it doesn't work for me - the keyboard comes up, but it won't recognize any words.

Thanks for your help guys, I'll try that link now.

Another alternative would be the Slideit keyboard. Found on android market. Quite usable imo

since swype has diffrent versions for each kind of screen it will not work for the offical beta unless you download the htc evo version which is working for me just fine here is the link

Ok,
I've installed this and it seems to be compatible (thanks a lot). I selected Swype as my default keyboard in the android menu but for some reason when I go to type an SMS, the default android keyboard still seems to appear. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
longpress on the text field, select swype.

The best input method.
Thanks for the heads up on this - I'm a registered user, but I never seem to get the email updates. Do they actually send them?
I'm liking this version so far. It looks nicer and has handy little features. The "More" button on word suggestions was badly needed.

A mistake from Cootek.
It is version 3.5 when you look inside the program when keyboard pops up (click on Option tab, then "?" icon=>Check version info.

Ahhh, I see. Thanks for the hint
Nah, don't use this one, it makes my device run slow (I have an Axim at 600Mhz and with touchpal runs like 200MHz).
Better try FTPRO from www.fingertouchpro.com , it's fast , cool and has more options. For me it's the best software keyboard.
LOVE TOUCHPAL - but when i type "its" my Orbit soft resets !!!!!!
Have no problem using TouchPal on my Cruise, which runs on 400Mhz chipset.
The 'Its' bug has been fixed. Redownload the latest installation file from Cootek website.

is that so? did you download the official release? or something someone else posted? because I've been using TouchPal since version 2 and all the bugs have been ironed out. I have caught 3 of the bugs myself and they were fixed within 24hours.
TouchPal is my main sip, I use it at least once every 30mins while I'm awake. 3 times I've used it to write 5 page essays on my mobile. it's capable and fast once you get the hang of it. yes, there is a learning curve but it shouldn't take too long to get it.
to get the hang of it I'd say the best way is to open notes/word/textmaker or whichever is your favorite and type random words that comes to mind. it's the same layout as on a computer keyboard. so it shouldn't be too hard to understand where each key is located, plus you don't have to press the actual letters of the word you're trying to write, pressing the ones beside it will work just fine. its text prediction is really good, you can turn off the text prediction if you don't want it.
however, the text prediction is pretty good at saving typing the time it takes to type words.
eg: typing the word "circumstance", all I have to type is "circu" and it shows up in the word candidates.
lol, it's word association is good too, if it type word "nasty" it will show "masturbation" in the word candidates, lol. it sure saves me typing time when searching for these kind of videos in WVD lol.
get the file from www.CooTek.com and remember to select the download for the os you're using.
have fun
This looks pretty sweet. I will try it out in a few minutes.
I saw somewhere that there is a virtual keyboard with bigger keys. Does anyone know where to get this? Thanks
Its in the market now. Its from Better Android and is much better than the standard virtual keyboard.

o nvm it cost money =/
any screenshots?
the HTC keyboard has bigger/better keys and can be calibrated and if your phone is rooted there are walk throughs in the development section of this forum on how to put it on the phone.
Has anybody extracted the HTC keyboard from the other rom so that it's installable on a non-rooted phone? It should just be a regular android app, right?
How do I get the HTC keyboard running on JF 1.51 US? Thanks
Install the HTC-Cime application. It's under the development section
I looked and I cannot find. Can someone provide a link? Thank you.
Isn't it called HTC-Ime and the Htc-Cime is the Chinese version? Thanks
Jashsu's CIME Installer thread here
Okay, I figured out how to get the HTC keyboard on a non-rooted phone.
Go to this page (from the development forum)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=515840
Ignore the instructions from this page, but download the update.zip file to your computer. Open up the zip folder, and extract the file called "HTC_IME.apk" (I forget which subfolder it's in, unzip it and do a search if you can't find it)
Put the HTC_IME.apk file on your SD card and then select it with a file manager (I used Linda File Manager). After it installs, go into your phone settings, select "Locale and Text" and then uncheck Android keyboard and select Touch Input (Touch Input is the name of HTC's keyboard, apparently).
That said, I think the default keyboard is actually a lot better than HTC's. Still, it's nice to have the variety and HTC's keyboard does have a T9 mode if you're into one-handed typing.

There is a free app called big keys I think. I didn't really care for the bigger keys taking away from my screen but it worked good and had simple gesture control also
I've been looking all over the place of one I saw a video of but I have had no luck in finding it. Does anyone know of where I can get access to one? Thank you. I want to know how it works so that I can try and make my own.
haykuro's HTC_IME is what your looking for. it has normal qwerty, t9 and compact qwerty keyboard options

Hi,
A good keyboard that I am using is called big keys updated.
Get it on the market ,do a search, it's free.
It works on on 5.02 h and should work son all cupcake builds.
It also gets rid of the annoying gmail tutorial.

I can do all of that and I have the adb ready to go too but it says the link is invalid (I did remove the 'you' in it as well). As far as I knew I thought threads had six digit references.

No need to be sorry! Thank you for helping me out, I got more than what I was looking for. Have a good day (or night ) further.
I've just got an Xperia X10 and I've got to say that I find using the keyboard to be a pain.
I hear that this phone can now be rooted. Can someone explain the benefits of doing that at this time? Can I upgrade to 2.1 early?
Finally, I find that they're some apps that I can't find on the market (e.g. RunKeeper, Skype) using the Xperia.
Does anyone know why this is?
Thanks.
use the search on the forum everything your asking has been covered over and over
Use search and for keyboard use this:

What should I search for?
If I knew that, I wouldn't be asking.

Hey, there are a few alternatives to Runkeeper listed here: http://superuser.com/questions/23409/runkeeper-on-android . Also, fring is going to get Skype back as soon as they fix their servers.
Edit: Nimbuzz works too, so I am told.
Android Variations: Check em out!

That's a much better keyboard.
Is there a list of top tips to get the most out of the X10?
Any other ones you'd recommend?

I have a friend with a HTC Desire and he was able to find it in the market.
Why can't I find it? Does this relate to version numbers?
I need a big help please. I just mod cyanogen7. I realize that when I press dialpad to call someone, it will not automatically search in Phonebook contact. It will not show any contact person.
For example, when I want to call Steven I just press 7 and 8, and his name should show up. But now nothing was search after the mod.
Thanks
still need help. help please
same problem eventhough I flash. newest cyanogen 7004 rc1
i think htc/sense is needed for this option
and it s not available in the latest roms since HTC will not update to 2.x

As he said this intellectual search feature works only in sence UI, which is available for our click only in official 1.6 ROM and several 2.1 custom ROMS (you can find them here in development thread)

thank you all. and dialer one is working great
the only problem left to this mod is the youtube having no picture
I discovered this as well, and since I want to stick with the stock dialer because it runs fine I found another way. I'm just using the search button to search in my contact book, which is quite simple as well.
