Swype on cdma hero

I have been using swype keyboard and it was working really well on fresh 2d but as soon as I updated rom to fresh 2.1.1 it gave me a pop up message saying that "swype trial has expired..." can anyone verify if it is due to the new rom or to the swype people trying to ruin people's fun? can anyone explain? or send me a new working swype keyboard for cdma hero on sprint
thanks everyone

me too. exact same problem.
Should I switch back to fresh 2.d or is there a fix? I am typing this on the default kb and its killling me!

Try changing the keyboard input to the standard keyboard and then back to the swype keyboard. Here is from the FAQ for the swype beta
Q: I registered and downloaded a beta-version Swype but I get one of the following messages:
"The Swype package you installed is configured for another device..."
"Your Swype version has expired some functionality..."
A: On your phone, open the "Welcome to the Swype Beta" email and download the Swype-Installer again. Let it replace the existing installer and finish doing the installation again. There was an error in our previous installer version.
NOTE!!! On some phones, including the Droid and the Nexus One, this upgrade only partially fixes the issue. You may still see one of the messages above after upgrading to the newest version. The workaround is - Each time you turn on your phone, before entering text, you need to switch between the Swype Keyboard and the Android Keyboard. After switching back to the Swype Keyboard it should work fine until you reboot again. Yes, it's annoying and we're working on it - It's a beta!

Or you could download the version from the link in the post above yours and not have to deal with it.

I'm getting a lot more errors with that1.25 than on the previous version.. I'm guessing the odd lag and it not being made for our heroes is playing a part.

No I found 2.1.1 better than 2d

I was having tons of lag and swype wasn't registering double key strokes at all. I ended up playing with some settings on my phone which required a wipe and nandroid restore. When i did it I made sure to not restore with the old version of swype and did a fresh install. Night and day difference now. Not sure what was ****ing it up before but I'm getting significant speed and accuracy improvement. Also double letters are working properly again

Anyone notice that this newer version (1.25) acts a little different then the older version as in it doesn't figure out the words as accurately as the previous?? I think it was like 1.14 (the apk was swype..Micro.black).
Maybe its just a setting i need to reset, or maybe i'm just chasing ghosts. Anyone else experience this oddity?

I am a new Hero owner. A friend told me about swype. Just installed and I think it took maybe 2.2 sec to fall in love with it. I got meaty fingers, and it rocks.
Just a side note, running it on Bittersweet v1.2

Anyone else get that Swype isn't configured for this device, and then it basically doens't work. Swyping won't work, but typing out letter by letter will.
V 1.25.....

Swype Beta - Maybe a good idea to register...

The Swype Beta is open. You may want to register.
Why s15274n?
Because some of the roms are removing swype and includig the swype installer instead.
Why do that you ask?
Because it allows you to have the most updated version of Swype at all times, and you can choose from the smaller/larger language packs.
I was familiar with the beta as I used it on my Nexus One. I didn't feel a need to use the beta though as it's pre-installed on the Vibrant.
I used the installer included in Trigger V2.0.1 (an AMAZING ROM FYI.. more on that later in another thread/video)... I am on Swype version 2.17.59.15552.t100. Not sure what you are using, or what version is stock, but I have to say I've never been happier with Swye. You also may notice a difference.
Because of this, and the potential for the beta to close, I would encourage you guys to register while you can.
Very easy process.
Go to the SWYPE BETA page and follow their instruction. Post if you have Q's.
IMPORTANT POINTS
If your ROM includes the Swype Installer (like Trigger) you will not need to download the Installer (obviously).
If you are stock, or if your rom includes swype you would need to completely remove swype from your phone before you could download and use the installer.
You can just register and do nothing if you do not want to.... just plan for the future if you think this may be of interest to you. Again, who knows how long the beta will be open.

Thanks for the heads up.............

yeah i was surprised by why devs didn't include the new swype before...
I've always used it.
it looks better
it works better
and it feels better.
its just quicker and the words work better than before.
it learns even quicker.
and the whole keyboard is a little bit more bigger for finger space.

Note: deleting the old swype from your device requires you to delete libswypecore.so (I think) from your system/lib folder and then removing the apk in system followed by a reboot. Only then will you be able to install the beta.

Always trying to help out man!

Anyone having issues with the auto caps? seems to be somewhat inconsistent.

did they fix the issue of the popup after choosing a word that was not the top choice in the list?

^ I don't think I've ever had that... This version does seema lot more accurate.

Anybody have the installer/uninstaller for swype available other than through the rom?

Bump, wanted you all to know there was an update... if you have the installer, just open it and you will get the newest Swype. Here is the changelog.. pretty significant.
ALL BUILDS - SWYPE BETA v2.29.71.20203/20186
Announcing BETA support for the following resolutions: qHD, QVGA, WQVGA, WSVGA
Added Dutch, Russian and UK English support [NOTE: Not all devices support all languages. For a table of which screen-sizes support which languages, please click here.]
The Hidden Word Tip window will only appear once, the first time you encounter a hidden word after a new installation. It will never appear again after that.
Contacts, etc, that are automatically added to the user dictionary will now stay deleted when removed by the user
Fixed the gesture to hide the keyboard: Swype from the SWYPE key to the DELETE key
The capitalization gesture will no longer accidentally capitalize the second letter of a word when the trace path goes through that key before exiting the top of the keyboard
Add compression of large languages for Android builds to reduce filesize
Identified and resolved an issue that was causing cumulative loss in recognition accuracy over time
Faster trace path animations
Improved application performance in portrait view
Improved the efficiency of the contact list scanner
Swype key in Spanish now properly brings up Word Choice Window
Fixed a bug with word priorities so words in user dictionary do not always appear first in word choice window
Fixed a bug that prevented the auto-space suppression icon from appearing in some cases
Period and Comma now function properly when tapped in SYM layer
Improved recognition of words when using the capitalization gesture and the second letter is very close the exit-point of the capitalization gesture, e.g. "Well"
Fixed a rare crash when returning from the Language Selector in Settings
Launching voice recognition now draws a UI inside the Swype process instead of launching a new activity
When Android 2.3.3 is detected, double-tap-to-edit is disabled to prevent conflict with Google's double-tap behavior
Decreased the likelihood that a new license will be required after a system update
Fixed a bug where a failure of the system to properly return build properties was crashing Swype
Extended the beta license from 100 days to 120 days after compile
Minor compatibility updates for Android 2.3
Fixed various crashes

How do I completely remove swype? I'm running bionix

bob7770699 said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
first remove swype via titanium
then you need to go and use root explorer (or something similar) and remove any files in /system/lib that have the word swype in it... I forgot the exact ones.
reboot. and then you should be able to install swype beta.

Anyone experience Swype not swyping? I uninstalled Swype and Swype Installer, then followed the steps to get the beta installed. It worked, but I could only type on the new swype keyboard. Swyping wasn't working. Fortunately, I saved a copy of my previous swype.apk to my external sd, and reinstalling that fixed the issue.
Edit: 3rd uninstall and reinstall got beta working.

Will I be able to keep my current swype theme/morph after installing the beta?

no, you may be able to apply the metamorph again after installing the beta version

Thanks for the heads up guys.
I did sign up for the beta, downloaded the installer, and as expected for someone running Bionix 1.3.1. it told me to uninstall swype... so I did uninstall swype through titanium backup, deleted all files with the word "swype" from system/lib (I looked through the whole thing and only found the libswypecore.so or what have you there, so I deleted it with root explorer) but while the installer I downloaded does go further, and looks like it's gonna work, ends up giving me the "application not installed" message.
Any ideas?

Hah, a simple reboot after uninstalling/deleting the files worked just fine. Latest swype up and running!

Mmkay unusual problem...
Im trying to uodate.. But theres a few steps..
Select another keyboard.
Done.
Disable swype.
Thats whre im stuck there is no check mark next to swype so i csn disable it... None at all.

Does it play Crysis?

Is it a simple matter of uninstalling the pre-installed swype through something like Titanium and then installing?

I just installed it. The buttons are bigger and supports tapping. I used bloatfreezer because I cant uninstall it from DJ_Steves 1.9.0..its good

Dang it, I hate when keyboards have fullscreen input in landscape. I like to see what I'm replying to in texts and emails. Other than that I like the new word selection method, much better than the pop up.

I only use portrait personally and love this new beta. light years ahead of the built in version. I'm on the lite rom and used boat freezer to freeze it similar to the poster above. Install was smooth after that.

yup. i followed this
Get a root file manager (I use root explorer)
1. Change your default input method to anything other than Swype.
2. Mount file system as R/W
3. Delete (or move/rename) \system\app\swype.apk
4. Delete (or move/rename) \data\dalvik-cache\[email protected]@[email protected]
5. Delete (or move/rename) \system\lib\libSwypeCore.so
6. Reboot
7. Download and Run the latest Swype Beta installer
8. ENJOY!

just looked up bloat freezer, sounds like maybe an easier option. i like that this new swype is big on you tapping or swyping back and forth, the finished version will hopefully be the best way to type on a touch screen (i recently tried for the first time ever typing a message on a blackberry bold or whatever.....HATED it so much!)

So it is confirm that it cannot be used in landscape mode cause it fills up the screen? I use landscape for typing.

It's still usable, the input box just takes up the whole area above the keyboard. Many keyboards do this, it just annoys me, especially on a phone with lots of real estate like the streak.

worked perfectly. thank you...

no prob, hope u like it

In swype 3.0 beta, can show enter button at ana application?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

just installed and i like the brighter color of the beta.

Can someone post a screenshot of the beta in landscape?

its ok but i think i like the older version

Ok.. weird problem here. I have removed Swype from StreakDroid by using Root Explorer to remove the three files (Swype.apk, libSwypeCore.so, & [email protected]@[email protected]). That seemed to work as far as now when I run the Swype Beta installer, Swype doesn't constantly force close on me. So thank you grasshoxda for helping me get this far.
Here is the weird part, when I go into "Select Input Method", it never changes from "Gingerbread Keyboard". ?? I tried "Fix Permissions" from StreakMod recovery and no dice. Any ideas?
I should probably mention that Swype (StreakDroid built in version, not the beta) stopped working since I changed ro.product.model=HTC Vision
edit... aw crap. Nevermind. I'm still on 1.8.1 http://forum.pocketables.net/showthread.php?p=70213

Fix for settings not being persistent was to uncheck the 3rd party keyboards (so Android and Swype were the only ones left) and reboot. Now I have swype.
Also to note: the landscape full screen text input sucks. Interesting that the Google search page in the stock browser doesn't do that though! ?? See attached cap.

Problem after installing paid for version of Gingerbread keyboard

Hi all,
I have an issue after i re install a rom (namely Coredroid because it's pretty much the only one i like these days, version 6, presently 6.8)
Anyway, I install the rom after a full wipe of data, cache and dalvic then I get all my apps back from the market and then attempt to switch the gingerbread keyboard on, so i go to Language and keyboard and highlight the gingerbread keyboard and then back out of it until i'm back to my desktop, i open up a text field, usually Handcent but i've used Google search and email too, then hold the field to get to input method, highlight Gingerbread keyboard and then it works perfect, however when i get back to my desktop i cannot move anything, Home key works and so do the other three keys on the main part of the phone but the screen won't swipe at all, i have to reset the phone in order to get it to work again.
I've tried to use different search fields and i've tried different settings within the gingerbread menu but nothing has seemed to work.
Any ideas on this would be good, it's a persistent problem and i've only had it on coredroid however i did ask about it in the thread but got told that they don't deal with third party apps, so here i am.
Cheers.

[Q] HTC HD2 Swype

So I installed MAGLDR 1.13 and installed DFT_Android on my phone. Everything is working perfectly. The only thing that I have noticed so far that doesn't work is the Swype keyboard. There is no option to turn it on. It's like it doesn't exist. Am I missing something?
P.S Could of swore I installed Gingerbread 2.3 on my phone, but it says I am running 2.2 and certain programs on my phone recognize the phone as a HTC Desire instead of a HTC HD2 which is no biggy. Everything still works fine so far.
P.S.S This isn't a SD install either. It's running off the phone. When I boot the phone there is no more WM6.5 It boots straight to Android.

Just have a look in Settings->Keyboard & Language settings.
Swype should be enabled here.
After that hold your finger on a textfield and choose "Select input method" and then click on swype.
The swype keyboard should be set now.

as for your Swype keyboard problem, how did you install it? are you in the beta testing group or did you use a swype.apk? if you used the apk, you need to goto settings/language and keyboards, click on swype. exit out and goto any text input function and hold on the text box til a box pops up select input method and pick swype. if you are a beta tester, you should have downloaded the installer which should have walked you through the install and settings. if you have done all of this and still wont work, try un-installing swype, reboot phone and start over. good luck

When i got my invite for swype and downloaded it, it kept force closing when i tried to set it as my input method and wanted to type something. Ive seen a lot of people talking about swype not working on their HD2, and i dont know what the problem is.

Swype definitely works on HD2. It worked for me in an older ROM i had (don't remember which of the 100 i had )

On the HTC Desire it isn't. Even though I have a HD2 when I switched everything over to android there is no swype keyboard anymore.

Well I have no swype keyboard installed. I tried an app in the market but it keeps force closing. I installed it the way I do normal apps I download. Just download and install and save to Micro SD. I even uninstalled it and reinstalled it several times under phone memory and SD has problems running on my system.
are you in the beta testing group or did you use a swype.apk? if you used the apk, you need to goto settings/language and keyboards, click on swype. exit out and goto any text input function and hold on the text box til a box pops up select input method and pick swype. if you are a beta tester, you should have downloaded the installer which should have walked you through the install and settings. if you have done all of this and still wont work, try un-installing swype, reboot phone and start over. good luck
