Yes! I want to go back to the old swype, but that ones going to expire in a few weeks. Also with the new one, even though I have 'Vibrate on Keypress' checked, it never vibrates... weird

Could it just be that it's ' learning' how you type again?
I know the first swype was dreadfully inaccurate at the start but the more I used it, the better it got.

It looks like that to me. It forgot my username to gmail :-(. I wish it remembers words it learned between each versions. Hopefully, it will remember when final version is out. Since we are made to uninstall before new install, it must be clearing out those learned words.

screen rotation in ASOPCMod

im using asopCMod 2/22 and i cant stand having the screen rotate 270 degrees. It used to be an option with CM6 is there any way to eliminate the screen rotating to this position? Thanks.

Other than disabling screen rotation completely, no. I would like to shut off 270 as well, but we're out of luck until that option is built into the rom.

grrrr >< its really annoying trying to use in bed having it always rotate. Our hero seems to lag too much and it causes more frustration waiting for it actually rotate.

Is there any way to edit the build prop for something like this???
Yea its me again with the

yes. the line reads:
windowsmgr.support_rotation_270=true
all you would need to do is change it to "=false"

is there any way of editing this in terminal emulator?

Let me know if that works for you. I have changed that line on the build.prop on every GB update I flash, and it has no effect. All the other edits I do take effect as expected after a reboot. I hate the 270 rotation as well, and would love to find a way to stop it.

There's an option for that in Launcher Pro. Turn it off in there.

that will only work for the homescreens. apps will still rotate.

Who says you can't do it in terminal emulator?
Code:
echo "windowsmgr.support_rotation_270=false" >> /data/local.prop
Then it will persist across reflashes.

Thanks first I've heard of /data/local.prop
makes sense though I use firewall.local enough on Linux

The only problem with swype is the interference with the select text feature in sense when double tapping a word to change it in swype

True. Only if the phone ships with Swype can anyone include it in a ROM or post the .apk. Otherwise have to sign up for the Swype beta. I think they give XDA a hard time and make legal threats and such whenever anyone posts an unauthorized copy.

lol.. What he's getting at skzdlmt is you shouldn't be doing that, more because it's not right to not support the devs' work as opposed to it being 'illegal'.
On topic, I'd love to know how I can get Swype working. Whenever I try to open the installer it FCs.

All true. And to appeal to selfishness, it's also dangerous. You don't know what kind of ish you're downloading.
ON TOPIC: I had that problem on NFX's but I don't on MikShift or CM7. It's weird because I've seen others say they have it on MikShift but not NFX's.
^ Shift Faced

Yeah definitely odd, running MikShift and it's giving me the FCs. Hopefully something gets worked out, shame because they just released an update for it..

Been running Swype for almost a week now. I have been having problems with the swype function suddenly not working. The keyboard is still functional, I just can't swype my finger across the keyboard. This has happened 4 or 5 times now. Simply deselecting Swype and reinstalling via the Swype Installer fixes the issue.
Any others experiencing the same?

Happens on any reboot. It's documented on the swype website. Easier to switch to another keyboard then back, rather than uninstall and re install

Totally agree....

Running SWYPE with NFX odex. The only time it breaks is when I reboot the phone. I just restore it via Titanium Backup.

Swype 3.0 !

Heyy guys ! They just released swype 3.0 ! It is so much better than swype was ! It actually works as a qwerty stock keyboard ! and it rocks! I recommend it to everyone.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App

Yep, just installed it, typing with multitouch is neat, but a little laggy. The actual swype-ing is smooth though.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

And I've missed the tap to change words.

I started using swype recently and I like their keyboard more than the stock CM one so I'm happy as it is. Thanks for the info though.

Thanks for the heads up! Will go get this from the beta page

did they improve their default dictionary? last release was missing some essential words with apostrophes like "you're" for example. Really annoying.
edit: answered my own question after updating. all the words with apostrophes are now included. LOVING this new version of swype.

The new version rocks!

Swype is not in the market, where are you downloading this?

I still like the FlexT9 keyboard better, though.

You have to go to their website and sign up for the beta.
I really like the functionality of swype, I just wish the keyboard wasn't so damn ugly..

does the new version have a mic?

Yes it does. The last version had a mic. Well on mine it did.

Hmm.... Just decided to go with the latest version other than a slightly hacked version I'd been using for a while. This version doesn't swype at all. I can type normally, but swyping doesn't do anything.
Any ideas?
Nevermind, says invalid license, even though I just installed it through the official installer... Just didn't complete the install properly I guess.

I had that happen. I just did the generate new license, and it fixed it. Also might try a reboot.

I was reading somewhere that they were cool with metamorph skins to change the look of it...but I was having trouble finding a walkthrough for how to install said skins...haven't gone back to look again yet.

Yeah, there's actually a warm-themed swype to use with warm z that looks fantastic but I don't like having to use metamorph and I'm not sure if it would work on other roms..

Iphoney has nothing on....

That is honestly epic win.

So what you're saying is that I don't have to buy a new phone in order for me to utilize this and that because it's more of a software enhancement, my hardware will support it? I'm confused.
P.S.
I was being sarcastic lol

Did you have to do anything? Apparently I can't detect the input on my phone.

Give it some time. I grabbed it a few days ago and results are improving every day. Except the weather. It keeps telling me it's snowing out when it's 60 and sunny

HipKat, i'm using the latest version of MIUI. Every time i fire iris up, it tells me "No Speech Input" (and actually, i can't use voice search or speech-to-text for this same reason)
Is there something i need to add to MIUI for speech input?

If its the rom, 'could' be AOSP, because I get the same message while on CM7, which is why I asked, and I do have Pico TTS installed already.

For people having problems, especially with the error "no speech input" be sure to install this:

install it and run iris, you will be all set.
