How to get Swype on Android

The only thing I like about winmo is Swype, is there an apk file or something so I can use it in android?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

There are some downloads floating around for it, but were not supposed post it on xda cause its still in beta and not a public release...so you prob wont get it here. Might get lucky though....

That's not why we're not supposed to post it, it's because it is proprietary software and I think XDA got a C&D on providing it so it's technically considered warez even though you can't buy it.
If you look elsewhere though, you can find it.

I found swype on android to be really really really crap....
just saying......
I love it on wm though...

I got the BETA APK file and once i installed it it says my trial has ended if you could send me yours that would be great [email protected] is myemail..........

I got apk for version 2.10, PM me if wanted.

Go to twitter.com, type pieter3d, and look through some of his posts. There's a sweet red themed one as well. If not, I have the working apk as well. This is all his work, I'm just passing along the info

Swype
Anyone still have their apk for swype?

[Q] Swype on Evo?

I have searched forms and know the .apk isnt allowed to be posted.
but i also have a rooted epic 4g and able to move apks such as swype.
is there a way i can move the swype to my computer then evo or will this not work?
liking the evo, the keyboard not so much.
any help would be awesome!
also i dont have to root the evo to get the swype right?
its a family member's who refuses to root =/

I can't say if the apk from the epic will work or not, but I do know there is evo specific apk out on the web that does work. I do not believe you have to be rooted.

the epic swype will not work for the evo i tried its a fail

Just sign up for the beta at the swype site. Its free and you don’t have to worry about where to find a version that works on the evo
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Just google it and you can find the apk online somewhere.

I have a copy, hit me up if you need it.

There is an app in the market called slide it keyboard. The trial is free bit the pro version is like 8 bucks.

search swype 2.10.52
Also I used apk from droid incredible for awhile and it worked fine. I now use version 2.6.47 (No voice and not sure what device it came from) and it works flawlessly. I am not rooted, no need to for swype install.
Also, you may want to look at applanet

Because it does not have a link to the app. Right now it is all talk but if someone posts the app it'll be gone.
I would like the new 2.15 swype if anyone has it [email protected]

lol i was thinking the same thing...but did get some good info out of it ha

BECAUSE no one here has broken any rules. If you post a link/apk in here then it gets closed.
By the way if you guys want the latest beta and you PM me provide your email address or else I'm going to send it telepathically.

Thread closed. Swype link was posted, which is in breach of the forum rules.

My kids had the transform for a while; which came with sprint id. Sounds like a good concept; but it really wasn't very good.
Who knows, perhaps they learned from the whoas from Transform users. Maybe, doubt it though.
I know for myself; Sprint ID will never be installed on my Epic.
Good luck!!

Thank goodness for CM7! Pure Android with no touch wiz and sprint id BS!

Got this text 3.5 hours ago in Minneapolis. Since I just got midnight 5 working after days of trouble with midnight 4.2, I'm not terribly enticed to go back to stock and get the update ... I assume plenty of others will be .. but maybe no one yet?

You all should know that it doesn't get distributed by area. It gets distributed by your status on the google servers.

No one really knows. It could be by esn number, but that's just me speculating. It seems random, you might get one update first, but get the next update last.

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..

Facebook App not compatible with Android 3.1

Just noticed,
The new updated Facebook app (V 1.6) is no longer compatible with the Xoom. I.e. if you don't have FB or if you've uninstallrd it, ouch!
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

I think they are trying to push tablets back to the unified touch website interface. The only thing that sucks with that is you can 'send to facebook' and sync contacts.
Know of any other apps that handle just that?

Friend me is a great tablet optimized facebook client. But it is still in the earlier stages of development.

Rumor has it that Facebook will release an app for tablets.

again?
they broke FB for tablets before- you'd think they'd learned not to break stuff now...

Friendme is far superior

Friend me has no functional use without ability to go to each friends stuff or find things the way you do on the web. It needs way more work.

Install it on any other device then move it via astro backup or something. I did that and it works fine.

I use Friendcaster... not the tab optimized version though because it lacks a lot of functionality. Does look pretty however.

I just installed the 1.6 update on the Xoom and it force closes when you try to search. It's defiantly not made for the Xoom. Here is the APK if anybody wants to try it.

I suspect this has to do with the fact that good Android devs are hard to find; good Android devs with Honeycomb experience are nearly impossible to find.

I hope that rumor is true. Keep us updated if you hear any more details.

The Facebook app for the XOOM has always been crap. When Google+ goes live, I am deleting my Facebook account even if it sucks. I'm tired of it.
