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

is english and russian (seems heavily modded to add russian/cyrillic keyboards, had to get rid of those when switching to italian)
to all the italian users: good news. works pretty well on my desire! as soon as i can change the language name in UI i'll post it well since i'm quite a noob in android dev i tried some tricks but didn't work... just know that the second language is italian and not russian
here it is: http://www.mediafire.com/file/wmfmfdqmizk/Swype_1.56.30.7625.t100_WVGA_EN_IT_by_rock3r_signed.apk
i added Spanish. Here it is

It took me a while to figure out how to install this.
I only have the phone a week.
Is this the best way?
1. Download the file.
2. Plug your phone into your computer
3. Drop the file into the root directory of your micro sd.
4. Plug out cable from phone..
5. Open Astro, find the apk and install it from there.
6. Close astro.
7. Go to settings - language and keyboard.
8. Check the swype button.
9. Open a new text message and hold your finger in the text entry box.
10. Select input method and select swype.

Thanks! First time I've managed to find a version that will work on mine. Going to give it a try for a few days and see how I get on.
It would be great if someone could add German to it!

I'm new to the android ecosystem but I've always been jealous of swype users, is it possible to port this feature to the nook touch?
Just replace apk file of swype with default keyboard using Root Explorer in system/app
I tried installing a keyboard apk file into system/app file by copy and paste with ES file explorer but it said failed. is there a special app or procedure I need to do this with? and where did you get the apk file? I would like a keyboard with directional arrows (for spreadsheets) and numbers for faster input. Thanks
Are you sure system is r/w?
Sent from my GT-I5700 using Tapatalk
roryn3kids using ES file explorer use the following instructions and you'll have access to r/w root files:
1. Scroll down to Root Settings and enable Root Explorer and Mount File System.
Not sure if this next step was needed but I did it anyway
2. Once again from the setting menu click on File Settings and enable "Show Hidden Files"
then copy the file from your data\app folder to your system\app folder
Swype "friendliness" to nook STR
The instructions above worked fine for me.
The problem is that I found the apk somewhere (a rather new version but still not the latest) and, even when it works, I do not get any "word list menu" like the one shown in those Swype Howto videos.
This means that, either I use an extremely short vocabulary, or I waste 50% of the time correcting the suggested word...
For instance, let's say I wanted to write f***, Swype forces me to accept the word duck.
This is good, because then I have the time to think twice before swearing but in the end... hum, let's say it's not that productive.
Of course, I checked that the options are properly configured (or I think so)
Does it happen to any of you, nook STR users?
BTW, I might also say that I cannot install the beta from swype.com/category/get-swype/
Have any of you succeeded on this?
Not that I want to re-activate a Post that was last updated in August, but it's nice to have as much information regarding swype as possible in a single post.
Thanks
I just discovered the Swype feature on my galaxy player 4.0 and it's great!
Never used Swype before this, But Since finding it a few days ago, it's all I've used! lol
Hope you get it installed, cuz its awesome.
Ok, I have further investigated the Issue and I can confirm now that it is properly configured (I compared it with some other devices) so let's ask it the other way around...
Is there any nook-STR-user who properly installed Swype?
How did you do it or, better said, where did you get your swype from?
Thanks very much, and a happy new year!
(sent using my not-that-effective-but-still-funny-to-play-with swype keyboard )
My findings with SWYPE are :
1. when you set your keyboard to SWYPE and do FACTORY reset, you might get problem in the "re_registration" your Nook. For some reason, the factory reset will not erase everything and the device is looking for SWYPE keyboard - which is obviously not there. So you won't have any keyboard to type onto !!! Having not a backup might get you in serious trouble !!!
2. As mentioned over here, the word prediction/suggestion is not visible so really, there is the small nuisance when you have to correct few words. keep an eye on it, when writing.
3. You might find a little bit frustrating the highlighting of a pressed button. Well, OK ... the truth is, that it's TOTALLY ANNOYING !!! Have a look on my video on youtube so you know, what I'm talking about :
youtube.com/watch?v=OYKjvqhxJmU&context=C3503defADOEgsToPDskIus5a7mP57B922B9wWU5cP
But, this can be fixed !!!
youtube.com/watch?v=S3vwQSvjUYM&context=C34142eeADOEgsToPDskJDd6sKkvt8EqkgO74yVfe7
Big THANK YOU goes to "djdarkknight96". His solution is to make the "highlighting" transparent, so it doesn't bother you any more. There was an attempt to make the trace line transparent as well, but without success (FC). Please, have a look at his thread for more info.
P.S. : With the youtube links -> as a new member outside links are not allowed for me yet -> so please add "www"

My findings with this are that the swype keyboard is actually still there, so you need to use adb to delete the apk file and, if you replaced the original, find that one and use adb to add it.
Hi all, have just update my milestone to the cm71-111105.0200-NIGHTLY-Milestone2-ICS-v1.0 version
All so far seems Ok, wife, phone, mails etc I have changed the settings to french as I live in France, the onscreen keyboard works fine BUT the physical keyboard is still typing in qwerty rather than azerty
so any help would be nice
thanks
Use ES File explorer for instance and grant root privilegies - since you need to use it on root FS and follow this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19108106&postcount=1889
tl;dr: in /system/scriptbox is keypad switching script
Thanks for the info, downloaded the es explorer and managed to grant it root access, but cant 'see' the local files I only can see whats on the SD card or Lan for instance what have I missed ?
You have to grant root access in the settings of ES file manager and then you have to change home directory in the settings of ES from "/sdcard/" to "/" and then you'll see root directory of your phone. Then simply go to /system/scriptbox and there should be it. (I have older version of CM, so I can change my layout in the settings menu and so I don't have scriptbox folder).
I changed to file manager and gave it root access, its clearer to use use than ES, I can get into the /system file but the there is no no /scriptbox in it
Since my firstpost I changed to cm7-111108-2350-NIGHTLY-Milestone2.zip
so maybe thats why

Checkout the new version, there's azerty keyboard as well (cyanogenmod settings -> input -> keyboard char map)
Hi
thats is just great, installed cm7-111111-2028-NIGHTLY-Milestone2, switched to English to find the input section, changed it to AZERTY and then switched back to French. For info you need to reboot for the keyboard changes to be taken into account, many thnaks for this
Now I still have the problem of loosing the 'reseau', (I get the message no service available) then after awhile it commes back, in another post someone says that I may need to change the baseband, but am a little lost on this problem
minty95: If you're using CM7 from Endless7, then it is really easy. There should be application named Milestone 2 Toolbox.. In this app, there is option "Baseband Switching Tools", which installs english baseband switcher. Then just use second option (Europe 2.2.2) and it should work ok. (you could also try first option, if you have problem with second option)
And you can also see actual baseband in this app.
Thanks I'm not using this rom but this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338183
I'm downloading the one from Endless7 and will flash and try it, to see as in the one I'm running I doesn't have the milestone toolkit, but does have a Azerty keyboard, so I wuill test it and get back
I think, it should be possible to extract milestone toolkit apk from endless7's CM7... Also, you can download it separately from his topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239778 - in the first post, there is attachment named "ToolBox+Baseband+others.rar" - this is what you need - there is milestone 2 toolkit apk, which you can simply install to any rom
I downloaded the Endless7 rom and installed it
The program for the baseband is all in chinese (I had already found and installed it on the other ROM) but as it's all in chinese I have no idea what to choose
Have already switched back to the other ROM, shown in my last post as it gives me the possibilty to change the keyboard to azerty and which Endless7 does not
So I'm just stuck with this baseband program in chinese
I have Endless7's ROM and I don't have it in chinese, I have english version.
In the attachment of this message I included screenshot of my version, apk of my baseband switcher and apk of my Milestone2ToolBox (which gave me this baseband version)...
Hope it helps somehow.
I think that you just saved my life
Have installed your download and it is in English, phew, testing now,
many thanks
Update : After a afternoon of using the first option (2.2) on the basedband APK 1.5.4 and having had no loss what so ever, am now trying the second option europe 2.2.2
I know have a phone that is at least twice as fast as last week
again many thanks
I have rooted my nook simple touch. Originally it was meant for reading only, but I write a lot too and writing on a computer screen is very straining as well as intimidating. I installed an app for takig notes on my NST but then I found that the keyboard isn't very nice on the nook. I want to change it. There are several keyboard apps on the market but none of them seem to work. I am not very much aware about the android system, so will someone please help me install a new keyboard? I don't need swype, swiftkey x will do. please help me install swiftkey x or something similar.
you have to move the apk file from /data/app to /system/app. Then use Nook Color Tools to select new keyboard.
I can recommend Hacker's keyboard (on market it is for android 2.2 and later but you can find somewhere on the forum link to a 2.1 version). Only cons is that it is dark but I have asked a developer and he is working on a different look (and hopefully also integrate 2.1 compatibility pach).
if you dont wanna open adb or anything, just do this
you can just install the app using Market
(or)
Download the apk from tto your computer. copy it to your SD card. Insert the SD card into nook and just open the folder in your SD card where you have the .apk and tap on it. then nook will ask for an install prompt and then proceed to install.
Once done enable the keybord from the app itself, or if you open NookColor tools you will have an ption to change the default keyboard

Take a look at TorimuNooter, it has ICSKeyboard included.

Just to add on to this, ICSKeyboard has a working autocorrect/suggestion system.
thanks everyone. I figured it all out myself. I am currently on touchpal and am loving it. thanks for the Co ordination
How did you get Touchpal to work. I installed TouchPal Tablet and the keyboard was all messed up?
What version of Touchpal are you using?
Hello, I'm also looking for a better keyboard (for Spanish, for example).
I've tried many (I like ICSKeyboard), but all they lack the key "Done" (required when adding notes in the stock Reader).
Somebody knows if there is a keyboard that includes it?
TIA,
jugaor
sorry I meant smart keyboard pro. its great and very customizeable. it also has Spanish language for it, and many more.
I think the done key is not dependent on what keyboard you use (its not available on the stock of course), it gets activated only in situations the app needs it to. so if the apparently commands the use of the done key, it will be there. I am not sure if this is correct, but I do get the one key whenever I want on the smart keyboard pro.
I have the same problem with the "Done" key: for example when I want to add a note to my books, I found I can only do that with the stock keyboard which has a permanent "done" button for me to press. Any other keyboard I tried has the normal "enter" key, but no "done"... pressing enter has the effect of a carriage return on the notes (that allow for multiline comments up to 512 char), but I can't save the note.
Anyone found a solution to this?
Thanks anyone!

Your post is my only hope left in the sea of misery of keyboards without auto-suggestion. I tried to install a couple of ICSKeyboard builds on my 1.2.1 Nook rooted with NootManager, but to no avail. Could you tell me where to find a cab of this ICSKeyboard working on Nook?
The TorimuNooter is not available anywhere anymore. The only image I could find is 06K version; it doesn't have this keyboard.
Clarification on installing a new keyboard: First you will need a browser with root privileges (ES File Explorer worked for me). In the settings menu, choose Root Explorer, then Mount R/W. Both "data" and "system" need to be set to R/W - otherwise I couldn't see the files and folders in data and I couldn't copy things to system/app). Find the keyboard install program (mine (graffiti) was not easy - I had to search for the APK). Copy it to the System/App folder. Run the install from that folder. That made it show up in the Nook Color Tools for me.
There must be a way to force the "Done" key to show in a 3rd party keyboard.. I use Smart keyboard to be able to write to my language (stock has only english) but the only problem is this "done" key not showing, although it show elsewhere..
Hi everyone
I just got myself a transformer and really love it
i am running it with the latest revolver rom
Today I tried to map a network drive and everything was fine until I have a few video and music files with chinese file names. I am using cifs manager and es explorer. All the chinese characters show up as question marks "?" and it seems the system cannot understand the name (I cannot play the files nor renaming them on my tablet)
I tried googling a bit but failed to find a solution. Can anyone shed some light on this issue?
Thanks very much in advance
p,s, found this link and tried adding "iocchaset=utf8" into the option line in cifsmanager but sadly it does not work
I believe you'll need a kernel a with utf-8 support and load it via the settings in CIFSmanager.
