Ohh... That's what you meant, the software keyboard. I have no idea, that or swype are good ones.
Seeing how the xperia play is basically the x10 with physical controls and the x10 has cm7 then it can't be too long till you can rock aosp to include stock android keyboard.
I'd just sit tight for a while

yeah, the keyboard sucks balls...coming from someone who has always had a hardware keyboard it is quite an inconvenience, so much so that it deters me from text input wherever possible.

Just get swype. It works so well with the phone.

The HTC_ime keyboard is what I'm using right now. I was using swype on my last phone but this this app is something that I could probably get used to.

If you want a really good keyboard get better keyboard then gotk the market and search ultra keyboard, you will see a hero theme, click that install it then goto better keyboard settings and choose the theme. It is really responsive accurate and it wont take up the whole screen while typing in any text field. It is also very spacious and not small at all

In my opnion swype is no brtter then any other keyboard.
Its predicitive text engine is the no better than the builtin android
I'm using that xda-ported HTC keyboard to great effect. Have to change your lcd density to at least 170 or it will fc, but I am loving how good the predictive text is.

Does it come with its own predicitive engine ?
Afaik Swype is NOT beta anymore. The reason why you couldn´t find it in the market could be that some OEMs may have paid to have it exclusive on their mobiles.
AAAAAAAND: Rumors (streaksmart.com) are saying that Dell will be one of them with their official 2.2 release for the Streak

When did it come out of Beta according to their website its still beta
swype is still in beta. its on many devices by now but that doesnt mean anything. most of them are outdated since its not for sale on the market yet. you can find an apk by less than legal means. version 2.4.44.10912.t100 is the latest if your looking. id link some here but its against xda rules.
Sorry Guys, my fault. I thought the sentence "Beta is closed" together with the fact that different mobiles and tablets are coming with swype as stock keyboard would make it final. Seems not.
Nevertheless let´s keep fingers crossed for swype to make it in the Streak Froyo release of Dell.

***Ok, so the physical keyboard acts up when you use alt. and alt. lock. Only thing ive found so far. How hard would it be for someone to fix that? This is a really cool rom, better than anything available for the D2...Sorry devs

Xda does not want swype apk's posted. Read a thread in g1 section by mod mssmison. Pretty sure you could find it with a touch of googling.

Lol, yeah just swype policy, but it's ok if it's on the phone from the start
Looks like good stuff. Has anyone tested most the features? enterprise mail? google apps? all the basic stuff? Who's first to compile a list of what doesn't work?
I'll be looking forward to someone getting this fully functional. I'm sure it won't take too long now that the discovery was made.
I have the physical keyboard 100% working Im trying to figure out the camera right now. Im not the smartest guy in the world, and i figured this out, so i give it til next weekend and we should have a few more options...

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

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.

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!

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..
