Swype:
First rule about swype is, you do not talk about swype.
etc. etc.
That being said, the EVO works, but since it was a beta version released for testing that has now expired, it does not work. You may want to google such queries and not ask them here. Google is your friend. You must have googled at least once to find this place... A little bird told me that some users have a working swype they got from the internets... (but I didn't say that)
Close plz

I am to experiencing issues with swype. I've got an apk from months ago that I've been using from build to build, but the recent build (BANGSTERS) I cannot install.
Frustrating!

I have 2.4.44 and it works perfectly.

Swype 2.4.44 is the beta hacked version of the new and improved keyboard. It will allow you to install and use Swype without receiving those pesky "expired" messages.
PM me for the link if you want.

Swype Beta available for free
Swype Beta is available for free on their website when you sign up as a beta tester. I installed the beta onto prj Clean Desire 0.2 NAND and it works like a charm.

ANDROID Swype

I've installed many swype builds but when I go to Keyboard setting there is no swype option, swype is installed and selected but no option in keyboard settings to select the swype keyboard using mdeejay froyo sense 1.1 and hastarin kernel
Did you long press in the reply area to bring up input options?
Swype doesnt seem to work with any of the sense builds you just cant select it as an input method from the keyboard. It works perfectly in all stock froyo builds and can be selected by long pressing on the options button on the soft keyboard. The only stock build it doesnt work on is darkstones latest so I assume his version isnt based on stock.
Mark.
i use SlideIT keyboard for sense builds. not as good as swype in a few areas, but basically the same thing

I am able to use swype version 2.4.44.10912.t100 with froyostone sense v.3.2 and mdeejay froyosense series 1.1 clean.
working swiftly on both.
I cannot seem to be about to change the input method at all on a build based on Froyostone Sense V.3.2. Any ideas? I am pretty sure I installed the stock keyboard files right, but there's not even an option in Language and Keyboard to switch it.
You guys are genius, the long press on reply method allowed me to select swype and it shows but but I can't "swype", individual words work but not swype. I will be trying the above mentioned version to see if that works.
Quick update the Swype_v2.4.44.10912_WVGA_English_ANDROID version works a charm.
Thanks for the help guys, now for the battery life issue......
I've attached Swype (Multi Language!(even Dutch supported)) I already use this for months... It works like a charm. I used to have the same problem, it seems there are a lot of different versions of swype but This one will work on Android.
Go to settings - keyboard and turn on Swype. Then go to your massages click a message and press and hold the typing field, you get a bar wich says input, click that and change to swype This version works defenitely.
Please do not post warez on xda.
Hope this helps
Use HTC sync 3.0 on your PC or use a file explorer program(like Astro) on your droid to install the .apk file
Plz remove link swype is warez now as they closed the beta test and talked to site admin about it..

Swype Keyboard HTC legend....

Hi there,
I'm looking for the Swype keyboard for the HTC Legend. I'm currently running a Froyo Rom. I tried one from this website, which didn't work so well, I don't know if it was me or the application because when I opened it, it told me that my trial period expired and that I should upgrade my Swype keyboard application. When I tried using Swype, it would show the line going across but it just wouldn't do anything when I go through the letters, I can only tap on the letters, which would be useless because I would just go back to the normal input method. Any tips? Ideas? Or links to a good Swype Keyboard? The one I tried using but didn't work was:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=660206
Thanks for the help.
I have that problem as well ever since the latest version of Swype and after I upgraded to Froyo. Not sure whose fault is it. I switched to Gingerbread keyboard since.
try this rar with version 1.6 swype apk file in it
EDIT: as asked by MOD
you can try to register on swype beta site, and get a newer version of swype. i'm using it, and it work like a charm.
I'mm using Swype since about 3 month. I registered to the beta-program, a friend of mine registered last week and got his version about an hour later. I'm using cyanogenmod 6.1 (Froyo) and swype works like a charm. I also tried cynogenmod 7 (Gingerbread), but there swype closes always.
Get rid of d/l links, or a MOD will. I won't report it, I'm just warning you. On XDA this is seen as warez, and Swype has asked that all download links are removed from here, and all other forums. This sucks, I know. Apply to beta test and hope.
Sorry guys
im on the official swype beta and running froyo...seems like everytime i reboot my phone i have to re-install swype? anyone else have this annoying problem?
Off to Gingerbread
I'm sorry if this is a little off topic, but can anyone please send me a working apk of the Gingerbread keyboard?
I'm on Blayo's ROM, 0.5. I've been trying the app in the market with no success. The app keeps getting FC as soon as I touch the keyboard.
Thank you very much!

I think that is the case if you install swype on sd.
Try to move the app to your phone.

I am having the same problem, but I'm using data2ext on balyo's b05 rom.I solve this problem by switching input method to touch input and then back to swype.swype is back to normal.

I am using swype on my legend, every reboot you need to long press in a text box and select the android keyboard, then doit again and select swipe, its a known bug. From what i understand it is a problem with timing. Hope this helps.

I was using Swype on Froyo (CyanogenMOD 6.1) without problems. With Gingerbread (CyanogenMOD 7 experimental builds) I had some trouble, as the Swype-keyboard disapeared immediately. After uninstalling Swype and reinstalling it via Swype-Installer everything works again as it should.

this is nuts

2 seconds ago i click about phone and it says in running 2.2.27-blue-gingerbread. i went to take a screenshot and it now says im running 2.2 trigger 2.6 anyways trigger only user gingerbread keyboard and i hate it some one have swipe.apk that i can flash on the phone?
Just download Swype from the Market.
Sign up for the beta and use the installer app included with the ROM...

Look in here for the Swype beta thread or google that then go and sign up so you can download directly to your phone (make sure the email is the one you use on the phone) Then follow the directions and you will have the latest Swype

you can get swype many ways. you can sign up for swype beta at beta.swype.com and then use the installer included with Trigger to install it. Or you can use a program like ACS (link in my sig) to download a flashable Swype zip

Listen to the developer of your rom... the beta is better than the version on the stock Vibrant. You need to spend some time reading man, it would really help and I do not mean that to be rude.

Swype Beta

Apparently, the new beta will not work if we've already got it installed.
Shame as some of the add-ons and tweaks sound like a good step forward.
Anyone got any ideas if they'll ever update the versions we've got preinstalled? or is it simply waiting on it to leave beta and end up in the store?
With the SGS1, swype was updated whenever the firmware was updated.
It works, you just have to "force install" it.
I've been using it for over a week now. Works great. Can't sync with Facebook (to get custom words) but other than that I'm typing away.
how do u guys get the new version 3 to install? I download the Installer from Swype.com by login to my account. Then when i run it, it say to disable swype first but i was unable to do that.
Thanks 4 the help!

you could remove swype from /system/app like I did and then install the new version

Yep, you have to force uninstall the stock version, which requires root and something like Titanium Backup.
Or, if you like making things more difficult for yourself, you can go into /system/apps and delete Swype.apk and delete libSwypeCore.so from /system/lib and then install.
cool thanks!
Yesh I realised after we could force install it, I'm gonna leave it and hope they update with the next firmware. I'm running pretty close to stock at the minute, want to get a feel for the phone in it's naked state to start with.
Thanks for all the info guys. Much appreciated.
sweet, I forgot to backup my stock swype though before I uninstalled, what will happen when the beta expires?
so i installed the new version, reboot the phone and then swype isnt swyping anymore, just regular typing works. Then i tried to reinstall it and it said "Generating license failed".. anyone knows the fix for this?

Happened to me too I removed the beta with titanium and reinstalled
I like the principle of swype but find it frustrating to use due to the dictionary giving bizarre choices and editing being counter intuative. I look forward to trying beta 3 of swype but until Samsung deliver it on a future firmware update I'm not using it any more. However I have just discovered SlideIT and a m trying it out, it works just like swype and my opinion is favorable, it seems more accurate and easier to edit mistakes. It is a free trial and the full version costs money but it looks like a good alternative too those of us that don't root and therefore can't have swype beta 3 yet
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I'd been using the beta for oh maybe 9 months and it only ran out once and all I did was log back into the site and generated another license.
I look forward to Samsung rolling out another version in the firmware. The one installed seemed smoother than my old beta, who knows the new beta might be even better.
Since 2.3 editing wrongly spelt words became much more annoying. Though I swear it's slowly learnt how I type.
So it's not possible without root ?

Swiftkey not flowing any more

I have both Switfkey and Swiftkey Beta installed, and I have lost "flow" functionality with both of them (it is enabled in the Swiftkey settings, and has been working fine up to now). I did accept the Swiftkey update not long ago, but don't know for sure whether the problem existed prior to the update.
I'm running Phoenix ROM 8.0
Has anyone else had this problem?
Re:
I had this problem on my i9505 under Cyanogenmod 11 (4.4.2). I don't know if you tried this already, I uninstalled both apps and put only SwiftKey (didn't actually liked the beta so much) back, and normal swiftkey started "swiping" again. Haven't tried with the beta. Also, between the uninstalls and installs, rebooted the phone and set default input to AOSP.
I just tried uninstalling the beta and I got predictions back on the normal Swiftkey release. But I really like the numeric keys on the Beta so tried to install it again from the Swiftkey beta site. For some reason this version expired on June 5th - i.e. it'll download and install but it's an expired version.
Does anyone know where to get a Beta that hasn't expired?
Tried googling for New update for SwiftKey emoji beta out today 2 june (2 june is the latest beta release I think). Hit the first result. Link working, apk working, does not seem like expired to me. Isn't this the beta you were talking about?
It turns out that the link I had to the beta (from Google) was a link to an out-of-date beta. On this occasion Google was not my friend :0(
So it's all OK now? Swiping works? (if it turned out OK for you I'd put up the beta again as default keyboard.. to give it another try).

Yep swiping is back too. It seems that expiry of the beta had also crippled the mainstream release. All was resolved when I found the correct version of the beta.
