I am sorry if this has been posted and answered already. I am trying to get the Droid X keyboard on my Fascinate. I have put the apk file on my SD card. I plug my Fascinate from my Macbook Pro, and go into Astro File Manager. I click on the apk file, open it, and it says "Uninstall" and "Launch". When I click uninstall, it begins to do so then it says "Uninstall was not successful." When I click launch, it says "Activity was not found." It doesn't give me a choice to install the apk file. Then I try with Apps Installer, when I click it it says "Application Not Installed."
So basically I can install apk files on my Samsung Fascinate. I have also made sure to download the apk file that is for Android phones running 2.1 Eclair. I also tried this with the Samsung Keypad that is the standard keypad that is on all the Galaxy S phones (go to Youtube and search "Samsung Captivate keyboard options"...it is the keyboard shown 0:20 to 0:53) but for some reason it isn't on the Fascinate. I love that keyboard so I am trying to get it on the Fascinate but that is also not working.
Can someone help please?
Basically same results here I'm getting:
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS]
when trying to install using adb. I'm assuming the current keyboard on the phone is using the same name as the DroidX one wants to use..
Being a recent Better Keyboard convert, I would recommend installing that. It appears to be well worth the $2.99, when compared to the stock Fascinate keyboard (blech).

I'm starting to like Swype quite a lot, but it does take a bit getting used to.
Has anyoen figured this out?
Not sure if it's possible. Mainly because they are different resolutions. The D2 and DX are 854x480, while the Fascinate is 800x480. Plus, it sounds like they are the same name, and I have no idea how or what you would need to re-name.
I have it installed and am using it right now, you need to use root explorer and put it in system/apps, click it and install.
I'm liking the HTC IME keyboard on my fascinate. The hi res version works really well.

Ditto. I've been using Swype, Better Keyboard, Swiftkey, And Ultra KB. HTC is free and customizable as it gets.
I am using the Multi Touch keyboard NoW ThaNKs. I love it.

Anyone else getting force closes? I installed properly, but once you reboot and if your using the DX keyboard you will get force closes, any known fixes?

I have the same issue
I have this issue as well. What I did to stop that is really a temp fix. Just change the input method to another keyboard before you reboot it. When it boots back into the OS and you have that keyboard active the processes call for things that are specific to the Droid X that the Fascinate doesnt have. Until someone codes it correctly for the Fascinate you will get those force closes.
Actually, nobody is installing the DX keyboard properly.

Try that. Installs via clockwork.

I reboot my phone multiple times a day to swap batteries....
Every time I reboot the phone, I have to change inputs to get swype working again. I've tried unistalling swype and the installer, downloaded it again from my swype beta account and same things happens.
I'm running damage control also, anyone else have this problem or a fix?
I didn't even know you could get swype on the Evo. lol Time to use that search button......

Thank you, sir. I'm at work and my searches kept getting interrupted. I am now looking for reasons to text so I can Swype, and I've only had it for 20 minutes....lol. I like it............I like it A LOT.
I have been rebooting a lot lately and have swype selected as keyboard. I'm running cm6 and never had to do input to put back on...

i had this issue in 2.1 as well. though not nearly as often. its kind of a pain if you reboot a lot etc like i do flashing roms kernels themes etc etc etc) i have just learned to put it into my process now lol. factory reset wipe flash boot fix swype
switch to your other keyboard then switch back to swype, does the trick for my everytime
Not sure if anyone has said this but I know that with dc 3.5, there is an issue with swype after reboot. You can fix it by switching keyboard back to stock and then back to swype.

yea i think most of us know that but the problem is if you reboot a lot it gets pretty annoying to keep haing to do this
well ig uess for those that didnt know a "work around" this helps.
I remember using the HTC keyboard for my OG Droid. Can you use the HTC keyboard, say from the Incredible on the DX? I can't remember where to d/l it from, I think it was on XDA. Is anyone using the HTC_IME keyboard on the DX?
I tried getting it from here: http://www.droid-life.com/2010/07/22/download-htc-ime-keyboard-for-droid-x/
The htc_ime keyboard installs but wont open, I get FC errors? Anyone know how to properly install it? I just used astro to install the apk, and went into the my phones settings and clicked on this keyboard. When I go to write a text or enter a url in the browser, etc. I get a keyboard FC?
Same here... I don't think it's been further developed

When the swype keyboard is first brought up after going into the messaging application, it starts normal with the QWERTY keyboard up, but as soon as I start swypeing it switches to the numbers and I have to manually switch back, this is getting quite annoying, so if anyone knows why this keeps occurring I would greatly appreciate the assistance.
Thank you,
Do you have the newest swype version (2.15.56.14870.t100) such as the one that came in jt1134's super clean rom .9? This seems to be a common occurence. I too share the frustration
SCH-I500 - DJ05/SuperClean .8/Nemesis OTB 1200lv/Voodoo5/Darkstar
I am using the newest version of swype that I installed myself. I have not had any of these problems. If you are able to I would try installing that version. There are instructions somewhere if you search for them. I am not running any custom roms or kernels.
if you close swype while the numbers are up it will revert back to numbers when you open again. I noticed this too and tested my theory and was true, it reopens to what it was closed on, so like on passwords if it's like pass12 and you hit submit or close the keyboard without switching back it will go back to the number one first

I completely removed Swype and installed the latest Swype beta through Swype Installer and I have the same issue. Very frustrating.

lol. I've seen this on the new swype. Also my keyboard randomly switches to all caps sometimes. Weird.

To be fair, Swype's website explicitly says, when you download the beta installer, "Do not install on phones that came with Swype pre-installed."
So while I personally ignored their instructions and am running the latest version without any problems, perhaps there's a legitimate compatibility reason they said that.

how did you get it to install on the fascinate. } Edit: <blah blah blah SNIP>
Nevermind...
/system/lib and renamed libSwypeCore.so was keeping me from installing the swype beta.
Didnt notice it first time I tried
I installed the Swype keyboard and it was working fine for a few days, but now it will not "swype". It responds to pressing individual keys but dragging my finger across the keyboard no longer has any effect.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Which version of Swype did you install? The open beta?

this happens, if you have it to apps2sd it can cause this and other issues, as well could be due to language package if install, as said try to unselect swype and re-select it, as well if you get the apk swype restore you can restore your original swype from your nandroid

I have un-installed it and re-downloaded the beta and it is now working again. I'll see how long this works for....

This is a known problem with Swype, and happens every time you reboot the phone. Try un-checking Swype in Settings>Language and keyboard, then re-checking it. You will also need to re-select Swype as the input method by long press in (almost) any text input field, until the Input Method option comes up.

Might be only on the latest version of Swype, I don't remember it happening on older Swype builds (but not certain). On the latest Swype open beta version, it does this on several ROMs for me (stock, Virtuous, CM7), and another on XDA mentioned its a 'known issue'.
it is a known issue, it actually depends what swype you get when getting it from the installer there is 2 options full and eng/spanish, i had issues when i got full on my g2 and mytouch slide, when i did eng/spanish all was ok except it Fc one or twice fix permission fixed and working since then

I've tried installing both full and Eng/Span, and they both have the same bug for me (no swiping after reboot).

I've had this problem several times. Try pressing any text field until the "input method" message pops up. Select "touch input", and the repeat the procedure now selecting "Swype". It always works for me.
I'm using rooted stock sense with visionary/gfree and Launcher Pro Plus.
Hope it helps.
just being funny..
But from what I understand.. Swiper no swiping?

hi all. just got a nexus 4. coming from tmobile G2. the G2 had embedded swype keyboard which i loved. nexus 4 doesn't have that. so i installed swype app from play store. while this swype is nice, it doesn't automatically remember the words that i type that are not in the swype dictionary (like curses and such). i have to click "add to dictionary" after each word that it doesn't recognize.
the question i have: is there a way to get the "old" swype back or perhaps somehow enable automatic memorization of the words on this one? perhaps anyone has other suggestions for similar keyboards?
thank you

You can make swype automatically remember words.
In swype settings go to My Words -> Change Dictionary Behavior and then choose "Allow swype to automatically add words to my dictionary".

The default Google Keyboard supports swipe to type. It is very similar to Swype although maybe not quite as full featured. I find the stock keyboard works quite well.

i think its locked because my phone is not rooted yet and thats why i can't back this app up. i was going to root my phone today and since i can't back it up i may lose it from the phone. if i have to install it again, will they charge me for it the second time or since i paid for it i will be able to get it free? thanks.
Once you paid for it every device you sign on to the play store allows you to download it free. So any device running any ROM linked to you gmail account
And most ROMs here have googles version of swipe built in, works great

Swype and swiftkey have dictionary cloud sync. That's a very nice feature for those who have 2 or more android devices.
i paid 99 cents for it so not too bad of an investment. love the keyboard, but i wish that when i disable automatic correction i would still be able to have it add words automatically. seems like it only does that when the auto correction is enabled.
