There's never been a smart dialer on cm. Need to get that by downloading a third party app.

Nah all CM builds have came with the bland dialer. Dialer one is what I use. Other ppl have mentioned that they go into the dialer and bring up the search button.

Yeah I used to do the search thing. Dialer one works great thanks fellas

Rocket Dial is another great option
Anyways sry for necrothreading, but why isn't included in the cm7 by default?
Cheers

I used Touchpal dialer when I used cm7.

Go Dialer. All the Go apps are awesome.

I second this motion. Go apps are phenomenal. I used to use them with CM7 until I realized that everything I wanted my phone to be via the GO apps was what MIUI provides stock

Since "Go dialer" yields no results, I'll assume we mean Go Contacts?

The only problem with swype is the interference with the select text feature in sense when double tapping a word to change it in swype

True. Only if the phone ships with Swype can anyone include it in a ROM or post the .apk. Otherwise have to sign up for the Swype beta. I think they give XDA a hard time and make legal threats and such whenever anyone posts an unauthorized copy.

lol.. What he's getting at skzdlmt is you shouldn't be doing that, more because it's not right to not support the devs' work as opposed to it being 'illegal'.
On topic, I'd love to know how I can get Swype working. Whenever I try to open the installer it FCs.

All true. And to appeal to selfishness, it's also dangerous. You don't know what kind of ish you're downloading.
ON TOPIC: I had that problem on NFX's but I don't on MikShift or CM7. It's weird because I've seen others say they have it on MikShift but not NFX's.
^ Shift Faced

Yeah definitely odd, running MikShift and it's giving me the FCs. Hopefully something gets worked out, shame because they just released an update for it..

Been running Swype for almost a week now. I have been having problems with the swype function suddenly not working. The keyboard is still functional, I just can't swype my finger across the keyboard. This has happened 4 or 5 times now. Simply deselecting Swype and reinstalling via the Swype Installer fixes the issue.
Any others experiencing the same?

Happens on any reboot. It's documented on the swype website. Easier to switch to another keyboard then back, rather than uninstall and re install

Totally agree....

Running SWYPE with NFX odex. The only time it breaks is when I reboot the phone. I just restore it via Titanium Backup.

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..

better keyboard. i try them all, but keep going back to better keyboard. swype keyboard has improved much as well

Swiftkey X. No question. Especially if you regularly use more than one language.

Honestly, I tried switching from Swype, it was annoying me alot with the popup suggestions etc.
I tried possibly EVERY keyboard - i won't lie. I pirated a few just to try and ended up not liking them, this is how i test if a app is good enough for me to use and then actually buy. I'm not spending 5$ on a app and then not ever use it ever again... - anyways, I've tried almost every keyboard.
Then Swype got a update, smoother look, and the suggestion in the bottom.
I'm back with swype.
Fast typing? Swype. FOR SURE.
but then again it depends, do you feel comfortable swyping? or do you like to just click the letters and actually type?
Answer that question, and people may point you into a more accurate area.

Thanks everyone! I guess I will try these keyboards out!

go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=564
and search for swype themes or something thats my best guess to get more themes.

Tried them all, always went back to Swiftkey X

swype is really good

[Q] Nexus 4 Emoji

For those of you lucky enough to have a Nexus 4, please could you let me know:
Is emoji built in out of the box?
Is the emoji support system wide - can it be seen and used in mms, google talk, email, browser?
Thanks!

The emoji is built-in as a separate keyboard, you just have to enable it and then switch input methods when you want to use them.

How do these look on your phone? ?????

Coming from an iPhone, I'm quite spoiled on emoji. I also used BiteSMS which was such a lifesaver of an application. Saving a few seconds to reply/compose really does matter.
ChompSMS is the exact same thing by the same developers for Android, and they have an emoji keyboard identical to what is offered in iOS6.

In AOKP it's actually in the default SMS app. You enable it from there.

This is how the emojis look from the SMS app with CM10. Don't see an insert emojis option when using the XDA app but I am able to see the emojis people posted in this thread.
