"Old" Swype keyboard on Nexus 4?

hi all. just got a nexus 4. coming from tmobile G2. the G2 had embedded swype keyboard which i loved. nexus 4 doesn't have that. so i installed swype app from play store. while this swype is nice, it doesn't automatically remember the words that i type that are not in the swype dictionary (like curses and such). i have to click "add to dictionary" after each word that it doesn't recognize.
the question i have: is there a way to get the "old" swype back or perhaps somehow enable automatic memorization of the words on this one? perhaps anyone has other suggestions for similar keyboards?
thank you

You can make swype automatically remember words.
In swype settings go to My Words -> Change Dictionary Behavior and then choose "Allow swype to automatically add words to my dictionary".

The default Google Keyboard supports swipe to type. It is very similar to Swype although maybe not quite as full featured. I find the stock keyboard works quite well.

i don't see the "change dictionary behavior" under that menu. i've looked everywhere. could it be because i have the trial version?

yup. its available in full version. cost me .99, well worth it. i did try to back up swype with astro file manager though and it said its a "locked" app.. ??.. never heard of that.. it wouldn't let me back it up like i do with all my other apps. any idea as to why and what a locked app is? thanks.

i think its locked because my phone is not rooted yet and thats why i can't back this app up. i was going to root my phone today and since i can't back it up i may lose it from the phone. if i have to install it again, will they charge me for it the second time or since i paid for it i will be able to get it free? thanks.

Once you paid for it every device you sign on to the play store allows you to download it free. So any device running any ROM linked to you gmail account
And most ROMs here have googles version of swipe built in, works great

Swype and swiftkey have dictionary cloud sync. That's a very nice feature for those who have 2 or more android devices.

i paid 99 cents for it so not too bad of an investment. love the keyboard, but i wish that when i disable automatic correction i would still be able to have it add words automatically. seems like it only does that when the auto correction is enabled.

[Q] Samsung Keyboard Not Remembering Custom Words

Hey all - running stock, rooted on the latest MJ7 update and it seems since this update the stock Sammy keyboard refuses to remember any custom words I input. For example: go to my banking app and enter my user ID in the required field ... I opt to remember the my user ID but once I back out of the app the word is forgotten. If I stay in the app the word will be remembered, but once I exit the apps the words are gone. It's like this for every app! I've tried everything to get it to remember words but nothing works! It was working fine before the MJ7 update ... I've cleared app data and cache, Uninstalled Xposed and nothing seems to get it working ... switched to Swype and it works fine there so it seems to be isolated to the Sammy KB.
Anyone else seeing this with the stock keyboard?

Try this goto settings/controls/language and input, click on personal dictionaries, choose one of the dictionaries listed (if u have more then one) next click the plus sign at the top right to add your word... Hope this helps

Thanks for the suggestion, tried that as well but the words are still not remembered. It's very weird. Tried everything but a factory reset and I'd rather not go that route as this is the only issue I'm having. It's all good, I forgot how much I love SwiftKey and how awesome the predictions are

I have the same problem. It adds the word into my personal dictionary but doesn't add it when I type or swipe the word
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app

Got the same problem here on my not rooted EU version (not branded). It's the only thing that I find really annoying on this phone, but I don't want to use another keyboard because of handwriting recognition and the number row. Can't believe that we're the only ones here who recognise this bug...?
Additionally I even don't have this personal dictionaries point in Settings. Sometimes e.g. after a bracket the double-tap for a full stop isn't working.

I'm on the Verizon variant and recently received an update that resolved my issues (as well as changed the keyboard theme to dark). Hopefully future updates will resolve it for others as well

Duh, who would have thought the solution would be so simple. Similar to the suggestion below, I just went to Samsung keyboard settings and used the "reset settings" option (its the last option). Didnt have to restart phone. Then tested various words, and amazingly seems to work fine.
I'm on 4.3 on Note 2.

You actually can add new words. all you have to do is go to SETTING / CONTROLS / LANGUAGE AND INPUT/ hit the gear next to SAMSUNG KEYBOARD/ tap on the words PREDICTIVE TEXT and then tap LEARN FROM MESSAGES. Once this is done, start a text message and then hit the white arrow that comes up. Your phone has now learned the word that you wanted it too.

well till now i have tried nearly everything and with no luck at all.. i just want to know what the hell happened?
what is the cause??? samsung isn't replying to my message

My phone system is OMNI 4.4.2.

I noticed this too, but only with some of the icons.
Looks like it does that with every icon from apps that have been transferred to the SDcard.
I then tried to backup the home screen with "MyBackup Root", so I can restore it afterwards, but apparently, this feature doesn't like 4.4.x roms...

[HELP] Disable S-VIEW

Hi fellow devs nd members of xda,
I have got problems with my Galaxy S4.. The sview is flashing throughout my screen without any S-Cover or any magnetic material. This happens randomly.. So I need to disable the s-view service and associated files.
I have tried the following :
1. Disable s-view from system settings
2. Renamed and changed permission for system/app/sview service.apk
I heard from another developer to change the value from OPEN to CLOSE in hall_detect file located at sys/devices/virtual/sec/sec_key. But I can't write into the file or rename the file.. The only thing I can do is change the permissions, but that doesn't help..
Does anyone have any idea how this sview works. It's become annoying when I play movies or games on my S4..
Many thanks
AJ

If you're rooted you could try the xposed modules, there's one in there that disables S-View.
I will edit this post if I find the specifics.

It's as close as you can get without disabling the sensor. I didn't hook into the phone so that might still show the S-View window, but that's no biggie. Also, the Smart Stay icon disappears, but hey, that can be a plus

EDIT: When I deactivate the app per third party app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.SystemCleanup.Inteks.org) the black screen comes on without time and date. So there is any other process that start when a magnet comes close to the S4 ?

Yes, of course the holder has magnets too so yeah I know its triggering that view but I thought that view could be fully disabled without a custom rom.
A custom rom is no solve for me right now.
The Question would be how the S View got removed in the roms then I could do the same for my stock rom.
Found out that the Hall Sensor triggers that but found nothing to disable or something like that.
