I would like to apologize ahead of time for this but I had no luck searching the forums for this answer. I have the first generation of the MyTouch 3G and wanted to set it up with SWYPE. Can anybody please help point me in the right direction to get this done. Thanks so much!
You can sign up for the swype beta on the swpe website. When the next update comes out they'll probably send you an email with a link to download it. If you can't wait you could look around somewhere for a download link to it. We can't provide one here on these forums because it's considered "warez."
How to get swype to work on MT3G.
Not sure if you still were looking for a Swype that works on the mytouch, but just in case you are I thought I would tell you how I FINALLY got it to work on my rooted MT3G.
1. First download the Swype apk, Sorry I tried really hard to get it attached but I am too new,(You can email me and Ill send it too you or just search for this: Swype_1.60.36.8214_HVGA.apk) and put on your SD card.
2. Download Root Explorer(This is needed to change the permissions of the .apk after the install and before you try to run the app)
3. Once you have both these steps completed then open Root Explorer and navigate to the folder where you put the Swype apk.
4. Long click the Swype app and long press on it, then click install.
5. After the install do not launch or activate the Swype keyboard just yet...
6. Navigate to the data/app/ folder and find the com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk and long click the it. Go down to permissions and check all the boxes so it has full permission. DONE !
You should be able to go to home => settings => Language & Keyboard, now to activate and use Swype !
Where do you get Swype? Can it be downloaded from the market?
Swype is not available from the market. Although they do have a couple of wannabe applications out there. If you want Swype just PM me and I can either email it to you or if you want just click click click on dis.... http://db.tt/O2q1jaj
this worked really well
Ok I just installed WP7 Gingerbread keyboard from the market and after that I dont have any other input method available than "WP7 Gingerbread Keyboard" and "Google Voice Input" .
I used to have a fine ICS default keyboard.
I am using Epsylon's CM9 btw. After uninstalling WP7 Gingerbread keyboard, I am left with google voice and there isnt a keyboard in it. Please do suggest how to bring it back.
I want to use default keyboard to fit in with the themes for CM9 I use
Thank You

What if you reflash the same rom without wiping data, maybe that'll work??

I extracted LatinIME.apk and installed it manually. It asked me to overwrite so I confirmed. Now the keyboard in Settings > Apps appears as DISABLED.
I have already tried wiping cache / dalvik, install the nightly again with wipe cache + dalvik, but to no avail. Too "Betaphobic" to move on to JB as a complete wipe, as I love the stability of CM9 otherwise.
I wish I never installed the wp7 keyboard app.
I've Samsung S4 running Kitkat 4.4.2 on Hasan Rom
My problem is that after every reset my device keyboard keeps going back to the default samsung keyb.. while I installed perfect keyboard and wish to always use it.. but after I restart after setting it as my default keyboard, it goes back to the samsung keyboard and I have to select perfect keyboard again from the settings menu.
Isn't there anyway to keep this keyboard permanent without it getting changed after every restart?
Thanks.
Bump!
Anyone?
Move the keyboard app you want to use as default to internal storage.

You are welcome. :fingers-crossed:
This must be application specific. SwiftKey had similar issues when Google changed the way default applications are loaded. I would have to change to SwiftKey after every reboot. But now it stays default.

The run-on-boot apps (like launcher, keyboards) should not be moved to SD card.
The SD card need a little time at boot to prepare and check for error.
At that time all apps on sd card lost "Default".
Just wanted to mention that the official Android L launcher works on our Tabs
I have attached the .apk
You have to change the build.prop to get the new UI
set ro.build.version.codename to L and reboot
It works also as a system app, no FC's.
Supports 4.2.2 / 4.3 / 4.4.2
Note: You have to update/download the latest Google Search app and Google Mail may force closing
Proceed with caution, you may end up having boot-loops !

good to know, thanks!

UA,
hi i would ask that you amend your post to mention this launcher requires google search to be functional.
As per your instructions I did so and the launcher does not register as system app without google search,
and on regular install call for updated google search to function.
thank you for reading.

When you say, "set it to L", you ARE referring to the property value under where it says ro.build.etc.... correct?

Yes, you have to set the value for ro.build.version.codename to the letter L.

ro.build.version.codename=L

What device do you have?
What Android is it running?
Did you deinstall, Touchwiz (Samsung stock) launcher?
Did you set the launcher as a system app?

No i did not, i just installed given apk (it updated current google now launcher), and changed build.prop
anyway, i tryed to fix premisions, and delete the google launcher from the app folder from recovery, but still rebooting continued.
and while trying to fix the build.prop from the recovery, i funked the system a bit, so a reflashed the whole rom again, so I'm back at the begining... (no new launcher, but tab works fine...)

It seems like, you screwed up inside the build.prop
Or, it only works as a system app on 4.4.2, that would be bad.
I will check that, thank you for trying and sorry if you got any problems because of me.

well, i used root explorer to edit build.prop, and i didnt change anything except switch REL with L...
but i guess build.prop was screwed somehow, it managed to stay on for a while before the reboot a few times (for about half a minute), but it kept giving the fc error screens for play services, mail, etc, and then restarted again.
I will try it in a few minutes!

When first time I installed this launcher I changed the build.prob as u said....
And after a week I came to know that gmail is get fc's every time
I saw the log of gmail and came to know that the changes made in the build.prob coz of that gmail app getting fc...
Then I changed it to og value in build.prob
From then everything is working totally fine
So I don't think that we should change the codename, without changing it everything is working fine...even gmail app

Hi all!
I'm trying to permanently disable the Samsung Keyboard. The problem is, randomly the keyboard will be set back as my default. If I uncheck the keyboard and reboot the device, it is checked again. I'd like to use swiftkey as my primary keyboard, but not if I have to change back every few hours.
Anyone know how to resolve this issue?
I'm rooted and running Dynamic Kat v4. I have chosen to use the stock keyboard under the roms settings.
Thanks!

Once you installed a different keyboard go to /system/app and add .bak to LatinIME.apk (LatinIME.apk.bak) or delete it, reboot and the Samsung keyboard will not start up again.
As you've rooted your device, you can permanently delete samsung keyboard from system - app..
Better keep a backup first of those files which you want to delete.. So later if you face any problem, so you can restore them..

If rooted, other solution after installing other keyboard (mine's swipe keyboard) is to freeze samsung keyboard by Titanium Backup.
That's what I did and works well.
Best regards
Franky
Thanks for the help all.
I couldn't find LatinIME.apk, maybe because I have a custom rom loaded or I wasn't using the right tool to look for the file. I tried file manager and even windows explorer when connected to my PC but didn't find the file.
Used Titanium Backup and it worked like a charm.
Thanks all!
