I wondered if anyone has tried SWYPE on the Desire and if there are alternatives to it? The videos of Swype look fantastic.
yep have it running on mine and it is perfect, much better than shapewriter, it does however stop the pinch zoom from working, this only seems to work with the stock keyboard.

Do you mean the pinch zoom doesn't work at all on the phone or just to enlarge the keyboard?
Where do you get swype for the android by the way?

That didn't work for me, just came up with expired when installed, got another version
Anybody wanting a working version then link is Here Not sure how long this lasts but it is currently working.
Hell yeah,

Thanks for that.

As my android is german, I don't exactly know what the menu items are called, but it should be something similar:
1. Download the .apk file and copy it to your phone's SD card
2. Go to Settings -> Applications -> Check "Unknown Sources"
3. Use an app like ApkInstaller, browse the apk and install it
4. Settings -> Language and Keyboard -> Check Swype
5. In an input field, long-press the field, choose "Input Method" and "Swype".
6. If you wish, change the Swype settings in Settings -> Language and Keyboard -> Swype.
That's it.
thanks for the comment. I am looking for apkinstaller in the marketplace but it's not coming up. I tried installing a couple of other apk installers but they both failed....
I'd post the QR code, but as I am a noob, I'm not allowed to.
So google for "apkinstaller" and you'll find it.
If not: What's the error message you get?

Thanks... I used an EoE installer in the end and that worked like a charm... Got Swype working but it's been crashing quite a few times..... I wonder when they will open the beta or release this as it does look fantastic.
I use Astro, just do a search for this app, very easy once installed.

huh. odd. glad you found a version that works for you
I managed to get in while the beta was still open so I was just trying to link you to the topic that seemed most relevant to your ask.
Bandare -
You can always use adb to install if you are hooked up to a pc...
Code:
adb install package.apk
does anyone tried using in landscape? i tried to install it in the emulator, it doesnt work on landscape mode.

Swype for the Desire - Just get it.
Sorry if this is an old thread, but just cottened on to swype thanks to the Mobile Buzz widget informing me. I'm new to Android and only had my Desire 2 months.
It is app nirvana! I'm running the beta now (1.56.30), and I must say, when it runs out and I have revert back to the stock keyboard and tapping away, I'm gonna cry. It works so well. Has increased my typing speed at least 3-fold. (HTC Desire with stock 2.1 ROM).
The only thing I'd like to re-enforce that was covered in another post, is that it's not made very clear by the developers how to start using it! After installation, get to an input screen and do a long press, and select the 'input method' option and check the swype box. It will stick with your stock keyboard if you do not do this.
Will happily pay/donate for this when the full release comes out, and will be very surprised if this does not become the standard implementation for touch screen typing very soon. The swype keyboard also works well with the tradtional tapping method should you want to type something unlikely to be in it's database, so why not?
Very very impressed with it so far.
Edit: Noticed a slight weakness. Not sure if this is fair, but it is not so useful if you are using the phone in landscape mode. It works to a degree, but you have to stick with one finger per word/swype. Not easy if your thumbs are not up to reaching across your keyboard in landscape. Can be uncomfortable. Recommend sticking with fingers instead of thumbs! But for one-handed, portrait typing this is still the daddy.
the new beta version, what is the full version number? 1.56.30......., I already have a modded version 1.56.30.7625.t100 installed. also how long on average does beta version expire? After requesting for an invite ages ago, I finally got an email from them to use their beta. is it worth installing it??
Anyone one else get the email for this?
Version 1.56
Haven't seen any new stuff, but haven't really had a chance to play with it yet

Ooh, got the email too. Gonna go play with it.
Edit: Ok, the beta swype link does not recognize my phone as an android phone if I'm using Dolphin Browser HD... had to use the stock browser to download the installer.
Got the email couple of hours ago, and just updated right now. Doesn't seem much has changed. Anyone else know whats new in this version?
Thnks, email Link is just to the installer which needs a Beta username and PW to run so no use for non beta members. But a link to the actual APK via PM would be great. Cheers.
New features/fixes are:
Added better context sensitivity for the “magic button” (go/search/enter/smiley)
Added automatic apostrophe insertion for contractions (e.g. won't, don't, wasn't, etc)
Added the Italian language dictionary
Improved sensing of field type to prevent the display and addition of passwords to the UDB (user dictionary)
Improved suppression of auto-spacing in fields such as URLs and email addresses
Updated the built-in dictionary to include several common words that were previously missing
Rewrote some settings descriptions to be more clear on their functionality
Fixed licensing issue causing “Limited Functionality” errors when rebooting devices running Android 2.0 and later
Fixed licensing issue causing some users to receive an “Incorrect ID” error when installing Swype
Fixed a bug where manually typing some words with word-prediction enabled would cause Swype to crash
Fixed a bug which caused some words added to the UDB to erroneously override other words when word-prediction is enabled
Many other minor bug fixes!

That alone would warrant an upgrade. Text entry in URLs and emails is the reason I gave up on Skype beta. So looks promising.
Gimee gimee.
Wow! Works very VERY well
Can I uninstall the installer after I've upgraded?
I see there is a link to the APK over here if anyone else is after it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6740224&postcount=234
On my N1, I still had to go into Swype settings and tutorial to actually activate it. Straight away I can see the URL stuff is better. So back to using Swype for me. Yee ha...

Thanks bro...
The word recognition is so much faster than the original beta.
I got the email about 4 hours ago (on my N1), downloaded the software and installed it. You have to remove both Swype and the older installer else it fails. I am sure there are tons of underneath the hood improvements, but the one that I saw immediately was when you enter numbers, they show up in the suggestion list in blue.
...and pecking keys is now so much more do-able. ie when you want to enter a non word such as a password. THANK YOU Swype devs for listening and fixing those two major bummers that were there before and are fixed now. Good Stuff.
Actual swiping doesnt work for my N1 on Froyo, all stock - any thoughts? - Only outlines the texting field in blue on the edges and then no text shows up - only allows me to type like normal - this is with the 1.56
Thanks for the heads up. I did not receive the email yet but downloaded it anyways. It seems much faster so far. I guess we will see how well they did after a few days of testing.
Thanks heaps!
I was wondering if anyone could port the multi touch keyboard from the droid X to the eris. if you try the one for the incredible and the droid, it installs but wont open up after changing input method. If you can tell me how to port it, i could also do it myself
seriously nobody even cares to aknowledge this post? i know you all want the keyboard!

Well, i unzipped the apk, and tried looking for an obvious way of changing the resolution of the keyboard (Which im assuming is the problem), but none of the files contain any info of the sort. So im guessing that the "porter" would have to go into every file, and basically recompile the whole thing for the lower res. But im no dev, so i could be wrong!

Seeing as it's multitouch, maybe it lets you hit more than one key at once without screwing up...
http://androidforums.com/htc-droid-eris/109592-droid-x-keyboard-eris.html#post1018179
it works great, i have been using it since yesterday.
It's very accurate too, i haven't had problems like hitting the wrong letters.
Edit: after further investigation, it seems it is not multitouch, however, I'm not sure of the benefits of this already sleek keyboard would gain through multitouch.
Not sure what you mean multitouch works fine for me. You can hit shift and still type letters in capital without issue. Using this and keeping swype around too as it works great.

I don't think this works for any Cyanogen based ROMs. I am running the one by framework and neither flashing in recovery or installing the .apk via file manager seems to work.

It's compatible with a stock nonroot eris, which leads me to believe it works on nearly anything because all the required apks are built in, but it should just work by installing it and enabling it in the languages and keyboards setting. If not then

i have a non root eris and this keyboard works fine. It is better designed and has a larger space bar. so i'm not hitting the period key by mistake anymore.

I just tested it, seems pretty accurate
speech to text is good.
this keyboard has no perceivable lag at all. it keeps up with my typing and I am making less mistakes as a result.

This keyboard is awesome. Managed to get me off of Swype. Has little to no lag. Reminds me of the iPod/iPhone keyboard, which is a good thing.
Before I was able to actually swype to type on my phone, but now it doesn't work.I have to actually tap the keys for the letters to cone out. Any one know why this is happening thanks in advance
maybe you cut they swype off?

Anyone Know Why? Would a reinstall work?
Ive got version 1.56.30.7625.t100 of Swype
Thanks as always in advance
i have the same issue. it said its because this version of swpe is not on the device it was for that it is operating on limited capabilities. also to note the swype installer has a limit on the amount of times you can download swype before it cuts you off.

Do the BlackBerry keyboard predictions work everywhere? They don't work in chrome for me especially when trying to type in the address bar and on Google.

Here it is the patched version that theoretically should enable predictions in the search bar and such: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByoPaCCmy-TOMmZ0RGE4QmI2X2s/view?usp=sharing

Thanks. I already installed and using it on my note 9. It has some new features like quick phrase, addition number board... but I really want it to have a number row which appear permanent on top. and predict words can use all time or at least in search bar, chrome... that why I'm trying to find a modified apk with hope that someone did my favors.
I actually don't want to switch to another keyboard cuz I addicted of swiping to get predict words..
Thank for replying.:fingers-crossed:
