I had asked this before but wasn't sure it could be done. Well now its been done for the EVO can someone please do this for the vibrant. This has become even more important to me now that vlingo is free.
Link to swype with voice for evo

Can that not work on our phone as well, its the beta that determines what phone you have.... PM the guy who made the edits and ask. I would think it would work fine.
I have tried installing it directly as an apk and the install fails. I have also tried renaming and copying over the current skype and this has no effect, aka the keyboard for skype remains unchanged.
I also went as far as to try the original droid x file with the above two methods and had the same results.
Apparently there are some dependencies or other files involved.
Anyone have any ideas?
If I'm not mistaken you are supposed to flash via recovery. I spent like 3 minutes looking at that thread.
Thanks I missed that as was working with the origonal apk file posted. Trying the zip now
Keep us updated, that looks awesome
Ok ran and installed the zip file and no change. No errors but same as when I copied over the skype file manually. The skype keyboard is unchanged. In my case still the grey smoke colored version from eugene's vibrant4 build.
Anymore ideas? I would really love to get this working but do not know enough to reverse engineer what was done.

It would be nice if they shared what they did so we could try to reproduce it. I would love this mod combined with vlingo now that it's free, since Google's new stuff only works on 2.2.
I'll try to find time to download all the APKs from the various phones and see what's different. If you want to speed things up, send me links to all of them.
All I have is the APK file from the above posted link and I believe I have the original droid x apk for skype as well but it appears it is more then just the single skype file.
I have sent a pm to the creator in hopes he/she will share their secrets as to what has to be done to make this work.

Yeah, I thought we wern't supposed to share swype apks on here though, so I was wanting the original one from the droidx as well as the evo in addition to the one in the post you linked to. I can of course get the Vibrant one from my phone. Let me know if the other devs answer you and I'll try to help out.

Does the i9000 have it? Maybe we can borrow their version?
Well.. what do you know? That EVO one works! Instructions..
backup your existing swype, just in case.
adb pull /system/app/Swype.apk swype-backup.apk
Change your keyboard to a different one, I just switched to the Android keyboard.
adb push swype-evo-tts.apk /system/app/Swype.apk
Now change back to swype. Mic button is now there and it works!
bug/oddness: The pop-up that shows you suggestions is now yellow with light text, it's damn hard to read some of them.
This fixes the word choice window to not be yellow anymore. I used the stock graphics files from the Swype that came with our phones.
Metamorph required, market.
Couldn't make this work no matter what I tried. Your directions were very good but they just didnt seem to work. I sent you a PM let me know what else to try.

Got it all working now and while they keyboard is a little different all the voice functionality works perfectly. This coupled with vlingo makes for one awesome combination. Thanks to everyone for all your help.

Are you using vlingo for the voice button? I haven't tried to do that, it just brings up google's voice input app.

You have to put them in the swype.apk. did you load it in metamorph? It's not an update.zip that you flash in recovery.
The screen looks the same as googles so maybe it interfaces with it but yes I hit the mic from the keyboard and speak and it works. I know it is somehow interfaced to vlingo as if I turn on filtering so I cant swear in vlingo setup then send a nasty text it filters it out. If i turn off word filtering in vlingo it sends the bad words.

Ok I am clueless no idea how to make my own apk and not loaded metamorph. Any chance I could get you to prebuild it into a single apk for me?
If not then a link to the process or a step by step would be much appreciated.
Trying to see if anyone has or can make a flash file for the spring navigation since the rom does not include it. Or does someone know the best navigation software for the epic?
Thanks.
I just use google navigation.
though gps seldom has hard time locking on.
but once it is on.. it's pretty accurate.

google navigation works pretty good but you can grab the epic system dump and install SN28-1092-sprint-signed.apk from the app folder or google that file name

I am trying out Navigon,which I also used on my WM phones. it costs but it has the advantage of working off line, and its mapset is very very good with speed limits etc.
There are some issues with it, like ease of navigating from a contact, and that it doesn't have al the street names on the 3d nav screen
I just got my Tab and i noticed that it does not have the media Hub and i believe it might be a German model the keyboard is displaying that layout anyone can help me with that please.
Any one knows how i can get the Samsung Media HUB on this thing?
i would start by changing the title of your post so that people who know the answer might think to read it dude

Thanks for the advice i'll change it now and i had this in the Dev section but someone moved it here

It's the only "Hub" app on my Tab, but I don't think it has anything to do with Movies. Sorry.

I installed it on my own tab before posting the link. It works fine. As for installing it, just copy to the tab and open it with an installer app or file manager from the market.

Thanks this did install but location is not supported any work around that
err...where's the file?
If you read 4 posts before yours, you will see the URL I can't login the account (MediaHub) however. Even I just resgister. It says my email not found but when logging in samsung web site, it works. Go figure!
Hi.
On pure Android 4.4.2, like CyanogenMOD 11 or nexus phones, when you swype all the way to the left you get to a google now screen.
Is there a way to add this very same screen, to be accessed on this very same way to the stock Android 4.4.2 from Samsung?
If not, is there a way to install Google Now Launcher on this phone? This is not the Google Now version, I'm not looking to make it a google now version due to some (few) things that I like on Touchwiz, like the multi screen, and don't want to lose some apps, like the shealth.
Btw, no root installed yet.
Thank you.
Here you go https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.launcher&hl=en

It says my device is not compatible. Maybe because it's not the Galaxy S4 Google Edition?
Any other way of creating that window?
Thank you.

How do I mark this question as closed?
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.
Is there something that I have to enable?
Nope it doesn't work in chrome, there was a modified keyboard here on xda but the poster removed it.

I think I still have that modified apk file saved somewhere. I have not used it, but I did use the other apk that modified "language" button.

Just an FYI - I didn't install it because I didn't need it.
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:
