Swype not working in FRG83D

After updating to FRG83D I'm unable to get swype working. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it but I still keep getting the same problem. Even though it's installed and selected as my keyboard under settings, only the stock keyboard shows up... I even updated swype to the newest version that came out yesterday I believe and same problem still. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Not really help, but as a point of reference I am running FRG83D and the new Swype Beta is working on my phone.
I'm running Geo's ROM.
Since the previous update Swype has run slowly on my phone. The latest update doesn't fix it so I will probably go back to the HTC IME.

Not sure if this will help but i find the same thing no matter how many times i restore my device or load a custom ROM.
try selecting Swype keyboard in an individual app (obviously you need to have it set as the default keyboard in settings as well)
simply open an app (text message, email, etc) then hold down on the text box to get the edit text options pop-up and one of the options should be 'inout method' then simple select swype.
i think this is a bug....from my guess, they are just too swamped to fix some simple things.

Hmmm....i got my swype from 4shared.com and always worked.its a lil buggy on my N1 once in awhile but still running it fine though.btw my N1 is stock.

I also run Geos latest ROM, FRG83D, with Swype 2.15.56.14870.t100
You must be part of the beta to get the installer direct from Swype

I had a similar problem, go to the Swype Installer and select "get a license"
All you have to do is deactivate swype and it makes one automatically

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.

tSwitching to Japanese Keyboard ???

I'm pissed with my phone and most of all, I'm really pissed with my friend whom suggested I update the phone!!!!!!! NO! Don't ever suggest to me to update the phone again, it worked for me, did everything I wanted the way I wanted... Now it doesn't. **** crashes all the time!
I'm on the verge of trashing the thing, it's pissing me off!!
I've wasted the last few night reinstalling my applications, tools and various utilities. But how do I switch that ****e english keyboard back to Japanese? It's been updated to 2.1.A.0.435....
I goto the Languages and Keyboard settings and I see the Japanese keyboard BUT for the life of me, I can't make it switch. Whenever try to enter text all i get is the crap white keyboard with no hiragana input. It sucks i tell you.
Possible to downgrade the firmware??

1. Stay calm.
2. Backup your apps (there is so many ways of doing this, so check google)
3. Install WB-XPERIA TW Gingerbread from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192988
4. Install the latest patch
5. Install the Japanese keyboard, from the ADDITIONAL DOWNLOADS on WB-XPERIA
That is all assuming you are on BB71...
If you have any issues with those steps, try Google.

Sorry If i sound a little hot headed right now...
but I'm on the verge of trashing this thing and you're telling me to waste MORE time upgrading?
Care to explain WHY DO I NEED the newer Gingerbread firmware? Buddy, if you like to waste your time flashing phones, then you're more than welcome to come flash mine cause I seriously can't be arsed with it.
How about offering me a simple five minute solution to switch the keyboards over?

Waste my bloody time maintaining a phone.. Have better things to do than maintain hardware I seldom use. No, seriously.. I don't use my phone for all the crap applications they have available. it's purely an email device as far as I'm concerned...

You're on xda dev, that's what we do here. So have you tried setting the language on your keyboard? If the options are setup right you can do this by sliding your thumb on the keyboard. If not, try change default language or ask your friend to help you out?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

1) go to settings > Language & Keyboard > tick Japanese keyboard
2) exit settings with back button > open internet browser
3) press on URL or search bar in browser so keyboard pops up
4) confirm Keyboard is visible > press and hold (long-press) on above mentioned URL or search bar until "Input Method" option appears
5) Click on Input Method option > choose "Japanese Keyboard"
Current keyboard will disappear and Japaneses Keyboard will appear automatically.
if not, you need to flash PoBox Touch keyboard or iWnn or Simeji (from Market)

[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

Hi kaschemme
I flashed your rom, coming form cm10

First you have to activate developper option, to do this go into setting/about tablet and tap several time on the build number at the bottom of the page until it say "you are now adevelopper" then go back into setting into the developper option and check "advanced reboot". This will add the optionto reboot into recovery in the power menu.

Thanks Bro, helped. However now I am having tons of force closed issues, mostly with google apps, specifically google keybrd, chrome. I have also noticed that this rom runs slower then cm10, you recommend a clean flash?
Is there any way to bring the notification and time to the bottom/right cant find it in the settings...
THanks for all your help

Those force close are caused by the neon command in the apps you are using that are not supported by our old tegra 2. Have you flashed the gapps from cm 10.1 thread or the normal gapps we can find anywhere? The gapps in the thread include fix for some of the gapps but for chrome I don't think it can be fixed. A clean flash would probably help for the speed too, but don't forget that this is about as fast as our device can get with the aging composant it include.

Thanks for the above information. I lost the recovery option on the power menu and couldn't figure out how to get it back. I needed it to load new roms as they become available. Keshemme's new roms have added new life to my k1. I am really enjoying them. Looking forward to the next WiFi only update.

I have the latest nightly and I'm having a lot of force closures as well. Mostly with YouTube, the stock browser and chrome. I flashed the gapps recommended. Any suggestions?

I downloaded the new WiFi version from last night. Everything seems to o be working great. Thanks Keschemme!!!!

Recent apps button not working
Hi,
Has anybody noticed that the recent apps button was working sparsely with cm10.1 experimental and now not working anymore with the nightly of 20130711?
I'm also searching where to set the wifi always on to avoid SOD.
Thanks
EDIT: Recent apps button doesn't work short to medium time after booting, but starts to work after a certain time. This also occurs with 20130718 build.

I have had no problems so far. I have the 7-19 release. I did the fix for the home button by changing the values in those three files with root browser.
1: Download RootBrowser from the playstore.
2: Open it and say yes to download utilities.
3: Go to system/usr/keylayout
4: Click on gpio-keys.kl then click on open as and then click on rbtexteditor
5: Change 172 for 102 and save.
6: Open avago-pt.kl the same way, go to line 102 and change MOVE_HOME for HOME
7: Do step 6 with Generic.kl
8: Reboot.
9: Enjoy!
To change the Wi-Fi to always on go to settings then tap the 3 squares at the top right of the screen,
then hit advanced. Change Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep to Always.

Few questions for you:
1. Did you make an upgrade or a clean install? I used the upgrade from 10. Could it make a difference.
2. Do you usually start your K1 from a fresh boot, or just waking it up? I'm usually turn it of at the end of the day. Would you mind trying a fresh boot, the open a app or two and see if the recent app works from an early boot.
I have the feeling that the recent app is driven by a service that takes a long time to start.
In the mean time, I rolled back to cm10. I found these few annoyances fading the few advantages of moving forward. One of these is that it seemed that my K1 was lagging a bit more when openning apps. Maybe the K1 is a little weak to get this uplift intended to newer devices.

Recent apps button doesn't work on first boot. Usually, i boot my k1, unlock it then lock it again. When you open it after it work. It simply don't work the first time you open the screen after booting but once you locked it, it will work.

Ok. Didn't catch this subtle thing myself.
Quite honestly, being a software developer I do recognize all the efforts made by kaschemme, but cm10 still appears to me like the best mix of usability, battery life all with minimal annoyances. I think cm10 brought us a way farther than what we got from Lenovo out of the box. I still watch for any update of cm10.1 but will stick to cm10 in the meantime.
Thanks for replying

headphones
I have the August 10 nightly installed and I just noticed that when I try to use my headphones they are not being detected. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there something in the settings that got changed or turned off? I have the same problem with the recent app button too.

A new attempt fOr cm10.1
The first time I tried cm10.1, I performed the update without wiping data and got a really slow K1 at the end with an unstable trebuchet. This time I managed to do a clean install with much better results. My K1 is now fast enough and trebuchet doesn't crash anymore. Not sure that updating without wiping is always a good thing then....
One thing though, the recent apps still doesn't work on first boot and need a sleep/wake up to work. Does this bug has been relayed to kaschemme? I use the recent apps a lot to navigate between apps and find the workaround quite annoying. I'm always surprised that so much users care about the mechanical home button not working while there is one always working on screen. I never use the mechanical home button. It reminds me Apple yurks iPhone.
I would post my request to fix recent apps to the dev forum but I don't have the permission yet. I would appreciate someone do it for me. I'm affraid kaschemme is now working on cm10.2 leaving this caveat open while it may be easily fixable. Other than that, I'm happy with cm10.1.

Bluetooth hid device
Hi Everyone,
I am running CM10.1 the August 10th nightly and it has worked great for me so far. :good:
However I have run in to a small snag with Bluetooth. I bought game pad to use with my NES Roms and can't seem to get it to stay connected. The pad has both a keyboard mode and game pad mode looks like it pairs correctly in the keyboard mode and it is listed under paired devices, but the connection is dropped. I pulled the cat log and see that what looks like errors due to files missing. Has anyone else had any problems with this ROM connecting to Bluetooth devices? I know there are issues with the bluetooth audio, but haven't seen any other Bluetooth issues in the forums. Attached is part of the log.
