I am sorry if this has been posted and answered already. I am trying to get the Droid X keyboard on my Fascinate. I have put the apk file on my SD card. I plug my Fascinate from my Macbook Pro, and go into Astro File Manager. I click on the apk file, open it, and it says "Uninstall" and "Launch". When I click uninstall, it begins to do so then it says "Uninstall was not successful." When I click launch, it says "Activity was not found." It doesn't give me a choice to install the apk file. Then I try with Apps Installer, when I click it it says "Application Not Installed."
So basically I can install apk files on my Samsung Fascinate. I have also made sure to download the apk file that is for Android phones running 2.1 Eclair. I also tried this with the Samsung Keypad that is the standard keypad that is on all the Galaxy S phones (go to Youtube and search "Samsung Captivate keyboard options"...it is the keyboard shown 0:20 to 0:53) but for some reason it isn't on the Fascinate. I love that keyboard so I am trying to get it on the Fascinate but that is also not working.
Can someone help please?
Basically same results here I'm getting:
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS]
when trying to install using adb. I'm assuming the current keyboard on the phone is using the same name as the DroidX one wants to use..
Being a recent Better Keyboard convert, I would recommend installing that. It appears to be well worth the $2.99, when compared to the stock Fascinate keyboard (blech).

I'm starting to like Swype quite a lot, but it does take a bit getting used to.
Has anyoen figured this out?
Not sure if it's possible. Mainly because they are different resolutions. The D2 and DX are 854x480, while the Fascinate is 800x480. Plus, it sounds like they are the same name, and I have no idea how or what you would need to re-name.
I have it installed and am using it right now, you need to use root explorer and put it in system/apps, click it and install.
I'm liking the HTC IME keyboard on my fascinate. The hi res version works really well.

Anyone else getting force closes? I installed properly, but once you reboot and if your using the DX keyboard you will get force closes, any known fixes?

I have the same issue
I have this issue as well. What I did to stop that is really a temp fix. Just change the input method to another keyboard before you reboot it. When it boots back into the OS and you have that keyboard active the processes call for things that are specific to the Droid X that the Fascinate doesnt have. Until someone codes it correctly for the Fascinate you will get those force closes.
Actually, nobody is installing the DX keyboard properly.

Try that. Installs via clockwork.

That stinks. I hate clockwork, had it on my eris and meh.
When the swype keyboard is first brought up after going into the messaging application, it starts normal with the QWERTY keyboard up, but as soon as I start swypeing it switches to the numbers and I have to manually switch back, this is getting quite annoying, so if anyone knows why this keeps occurring I would greatly appreciate the assistance.
Thank you,
Do you have the newest swype version (2.15.56.14870.t100) such as the one that came in jt1134's super clean rom .9? This seems to be a common occurence. I too share the frustration
SCH-I500 - DJ05/SuperClean .8/Nemesis OTB 1200lv/Voodoo5/Darkstar
I am using the newest version of swype that I installed myself. I have not had any of these problems. If you are able to I would try installing that version. There are instructions somewhere if you search for them. I am not running any custom roms or kernels.
if you close swype while the numbers are up it will revert back to numbers when you open again. I noticed this too and tested my theory and was true, it reopens to what it was closed on, so like on passwords if it's like pass12 and you hit submit or close the keyboard without switching back it will go back to the number one first

I completely removed Swype and installed the latest Swype beta through Swype Installer and I have the same issue. Very frustrating.

This is the reason I've been having problems it seems, I never realized how often I left the keyboard in the symbols part after I put smiley faces or exclamations.

lol. I've seen this on the new swype. Also my keyboard randomly switches to all caps sometimes. Weird.

To be fair, Swype's website explicitly says, when you download the beta installer, "Do not install on phones that came with Swype pre-installed."
So while I personally ignored their instructions and am running the latest version without any problems, perhaps there's a legitimate compatibility reason they said that.

If this has been posted before please delete, but I believe I have solved my issue with the physical keyboard missing keys. I turned off all the software keyboards and swype it seems to have done the trick.
Problem is I have to change it everytime I switch batteries. Is there a way to do thi?

Yes, I've read that swype (enabled) is most likely the culprit.

Bingo, it can be annoying at times. When typing long emails and texts, be sure to go back and proofread what you just typed (good practice anyway). Turning off swype did seem to help a bit.

I was able to type several paragraphs with all the soft keyboards except for Swype disabled, and I don't have the missing key issue anymore. I simply disabled the Samsung and Android keyboards. I use Swype way too much to disable it.

I use keyboard manager to help with this...
Install keyboard manager along with touchpal from market free (completely).
I have Swype enable and have it set as my portrait keyboard
Then when I switch to landscape keyboard manager services changes my kb to touchpal in a fraction of a second without any interaction.
What awesome about touch pal is that it offers some of the best spelling correction word prediction with our hardware keyboards. Takes a while to get used to but by far is the best solution for me as not only does it fix the random keydrops but it also spell checks and suggests words on the fly.
I was using the Windows Mobile Version for a long time before changing to android, but absolutely love Swype for portrait one handed.
In a previous post I made I pointed out that the lag I found to be software and not hardware... if you long press on many letters you will get a popup instead of repeat keys these seem to be the cause of the drops, after using touchpal, if you long press a letter it quickly repeats.

Trust me I have been using CooTek products for years they are a reputable company... Chinese or not.
PS you could try with another keyboard but I think the key is touchpal, all i can say is if the keyboard your using gets rid of the OS default popup that happens when you long press on a key it should work. I wish there was a dev that could just figure out how to disable this all together as it happens when there are no soft keyboards active,,, I am sure this is the cause to our missed keys try ee or oo in words 7/10 times it will miss if you are fast this is because its trying to determine the length of time the key was pressed to display the box of options.
I can't get keyboard manager to recognize touchpal as an option...any ideas?
NM, have to play with the actual system settings first
I installed the Swype keyboard and it was working fine for a few days, but now it will not "swype". It responds to pressing individual keys but dragging my finger across the keyboard no longer has any effect.
Has anyone else had this problem?

This is a known problem with Swype, and happens every time you reboot the phone. Try un-checking Swype in Settings>Language and keyboard, then re-checking it. You will also need to re-select Swype as the input method by long press in (almost) any text input field, until the Input Method option comes up.

Might be only on the latest version of Swype, I don't remember it happening on older Swype builds (but not certain). On the latest Swype open beta version, it does this on several ROMs for me (stock, Virtuous, CM7), and another on XDA mentioned its a 'known issue'.
it is a known issue, it actually depends what swype you get when getting it from the installer there is 2 options full and eng/spanish, i had issues when i got full on my g2 and mytouch slide, when i did eng/spanish all was ok except it Fc one or twice fix permission fixed and working since then

I've tried installing both full and Eng/Span, and they both have the same bug for me (no swiping after reboot).

Does swype offer the predictive text as you're swyping like the stock keyboard? The last version I've tried of swype didn't.

It works if you have a titanium backup to restore, but its not working at the moment via the download/swype installer option. I think they are aware of the problem and working on it (from the Swype forums)
Missing it but the stock android one is doing an OK job in the meantime...
I installed swype beta just fine.
I get to the screen where it lets me choose a version to download but never loads the choices.
Try flex T9 instead. Installed no problem.
For the people who were able to install swype, is swype keeping your custom words? I'm noticing that I'm unable to add custom words to the personal dictionary. I'm not sure if it's a bug with the latest swype or it's just incompatible with the nexus 4.

Well it worked... but it's version 1.0.3.5809. Isn't that a pretty old version? Don't see some of the Swype connect options that are available in the latest beta.
It's one version old and still works with theme chooser. The new version has its own theme chooser thingy.
If someone with the newest version would go in to data/apps and find the com.nuance.swype.input-1.apk and upload it that would be great too.

@eniris - Thanks a lot!
I'm always wary of files people I don't know post, so scanned it with both ESET on my laptop and Lookout on my Nexus 4 to be sure. It's clean, and it works perfectly - it's version 1.3.1.9274.
Swype is perfect as a keyboard, but the new Android keyboard's speech recognition is better (it's real-time vs waiting for the Swype one to process, and it's nice that you can pause and easily record more). Now I only wish there was a quicker way to swap between the Swype keyboard and Google Voice Typing. When you're in an input field, you have to pull down the top menu, tap "Choose input method", and then tap "Google voice typing." It's way more cumbersome that just hitting the little icon, but doable. Maybe I'll just get used to the Swype one.
Anyway - thanks again eniris!
