can you get swype on an hd2 running android? I already did a little bit of searching and i found the .apk for swype and trying installing it and it didnt work. My android build is based off the evo so i searched for swype for evo idk it made sence to me. but yeah can anyone help me out with this?
Swype works great for me on every build of android I've tried. If you're not part of the Swype Beta program you'll have to look for the latest .apk somewhere else though.
This is my favorite keyboard: Ultra Keyboard.

if swype works on android depends on your build and swype version.
with non-hd builds, swype 1.6 worked awesome! since i use mdj froyo hd 4.3 build, it stopped working... i figured out why: i needed a matching swype version, especially made for desire hd - after installing this, it worked flawless. the only minus is that it's not as fast as 1.6 but looks better
You can just get slide it keyboard? Works in the same way and you don't need to be in any sort of beta program.

Swype works great on my HD2, the only gripe I have with it is portrait/landscape, seems to be very slow to respond to the direction your holding the phone.

Ok i know many people are in love with the hero keyboard but the problem is the lag. i stopped using it because when i type in landscape mode it just becomes so laggy, it would type and it would take forever for it to catch up. but the thing i love about it, i can use the trackball to select the correct words. there are some "optimized" HTC_IME's that disable the autocorrection but thats stupid, i need the autocorrection. i tried the default keyboard and i actually like it, BUT i cant select words with the trackball, that is important to me. so what keyboard does these things:
1) no lag
2) has autocorrection
3) able to select words with the trackball
4) saving words you enter into dictionary and suggest it first
So basically a "betterkeyboard" with trackball selection.
ive tried betterkeyboard, but it doesnt give me the option to select the autocorrect word, or scroll through them with my trackball, i gotta use my finger and its uncomfortable like that. can anyone recommend an alternative if there even is one? thanks!

That's the keyboard that he was complaining about lag.
Added one more requirement. I doubt sucha keyboard exists tho. Maybe i should email the devs of betterkeyboard
HTC default Keyboard on Cyanogen ROM
Hello I’m using the MoDaCo-sapphire Hero image on the MT3G, and it is painfully slow. I was wondering if the default HTC keyboard is usable on any of the Cyanogen builds. If so can anyone point me in the right direction to add it to Cyanogen 4.2.5? I love using any variant of the Hero builds, but they lag, are resource hogs, and my battery becomes mush. I just love their default keyboard which is easier to use, and it should be even faster on a lean ROM such as Cyanogens. Thanks.

Here's the link to the keyboard. Just download it and install it using an app installer. The keyboard is pretty fast, but as the OP said, it lags, but not as bad as hero roms.

yes this is the same one that is giving me issues. man i really wish the betterkeyboards had a scroll selection. any other opinions before i call it quits?
perhaps someone can explain to me how i can install an HTC_IME that has been optimized by eugene. its in his latest ROM, i successfully extracted it but it wont install. im sure i can do it through adb, anyone have the codes?
a suggestion...
I found another one recently which I believe is better with less bugs than betterkeyboard... its called "asoftkeyboard" its free on market... and its got almost every language support...
betterkeyboard started giving me bugs depending on roms and stuff so i tried this.. and absolutely love it... keys are kind of small though...
but try that guys...

Just thought I'd ask - which rom are you using? I don't get any lag with HTC IME.
You should really check out TouchPal from Cooltek. It has all functions you requested.

is there a good swype keyboard for 6.1??
Thread moved to General.
And to answer your question.... I don't think swype is compatible with anything below 6.5, but I could be wrong.
It works on the stock VZW 6.1 rom.

Then, I guess I was wrong
Thanks scotttr!
Here ya go!
I have the original swype and the new 3.3 (swype 2) version cabs.
swype 1= tested and works with 6.1& 6.5
swype 2= tested and works with 6.5, haven't tested for 6.1.
I dont like the new version because it's not as fast as the original and also takes up more than half of the screen. the 1st version may be a bit hard to read but is lightning fast imo.
Ofcourse, you can set the speed and error tolerance by going to start>settings>personal>input (make sure swype is selected)
but none the less, here are both.
Have a Nice Day
[highlight]Mod Edit: attachments removed since Swype is not a free distribution software[/highlight]
There's a similar software to swype
The Similar software is Shapewriter, works like swype and it's not bad, it works on the HTC Touch or all Windows Mobile 5.0, 6.0.
Here's the link: www(dot)shapewriter(dot)com/download/windowsmobile(dot)php
(. replaced by dot)
I've been using it without registering but seems a good software to pay for it and that would take care of the asking of activation.
Hope this helps anyone looking for this kind of keyboard.

I am not sure if you can switch to default or anything, but there are heaps of sms apps on the market, a couple of which are pretty good - once installed you can make it the 'default' app, disable notifications in the htc version and away you go.
Using the stock keyboard
I'm not sure what the old keyboard you were looking for looks like, but I was successful at adding the stock keyboard (with voice input) back as noted in my recent post in the thread titled "Froyo 2.2 Keyboard APK" (post 20).
Sense was was a great improvement for WinMo, but the UI kind of sucks (imho) for Android. I upgraded to the FroyoStone update the other day and it seemed more stable (less SoD, that's for sure). But the HTC junk scattered across the UI ruined it for me.
the darkstone thread has a link for the apk of the kb youre looking for. search don't ask they'll bite your head off
I am currently using the 2.1 leak which came out yesterday. Though it's not perfect and there are minor problems here and there, the main problem is the keyboard and for me it's not usable and I suffer everytime I have to use it!
Several others also agreed with me the new keyboard is wack, unresponsive and is very slow.
Is there any way somebody can get the original stock keyboard from the original 1.6 release and upload it somewhere so I could replace it with the current one?
I really love the old keyboard and was used to it, really loved the fact it also has a numpad which makes logging into ebay/hotmail far easier & quicker.
Lastly, should someone be kind enough guide me through replacing the NEW keyboard with the old one, as in WHERE to put the file in the streak, which folder.
Thanks in advance
It wont run on 2.1.

I cannot stand the current keyboard.
Hello everybody,
I am currently running this ROM:
EnergyROM Rhodium TouchOfGlass
I downloaded several Swype cabs, but all didn't work or it kept restarting my HTC Sense and others didn't even showed the Swype keyboard but just the regular keyboard.
Can somebody help me to set this up? Is Swype also language-based, it doesn't matter tho but I'm curious.
Can't find a working .Cab through the search box, only links which are deleted files or non working links.
You know you change the default keyboard by touching the right side of the keyboard button, right?
Nobody can post or link to Swype anymore. The developers sent a cease & desist order to XDA, so its now considered warez.

Ever hear of Google? It's pretty easy to find. It took me all of ten seconds to pull up a working link. I doubt you were looking very hard.
