How do I install Swype beta on the Nexus One? I found http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2009/12/30/how-to-get-swype-on-android/ but it's only for Droid. Doesn't work on the N1 because the screen resolution is wrong.
It still works,I use the Droid version on my N1 without an issue - it'll give the error message about the screen size but if you press the text field again it'll pop up and work fine.
it actually DOES work, just not in landscape. Just close the error message and go to input portrait mode again and it'll work. I just turned off auto orientation to always keep my phone in portrait mode to avoid any crashes while laying down and it switching to landscape. There is an .apk file out there that says they have patched it but to no avail =P
Swype is my keyboard while driving (1 handed operation) but I use Smart Keyboard (free on market) for regular landscape typing.
What am I doing wrong then? I installed it, then the same error comes up about the screen size. I click start and when I go to type, no keyboard comes up.
On second thought, I may have had a bad apk file. I downloaded the one in the first post and got it to work.
Looks like it works sometimes. The error message is bugging me, though. There's also no way to hide the keyboard sometimes, unlike the stick keyboard (which you can drag down to hide).
When using Swype and latest Cyanogen rom I cannot use camera. If I disable Swype, then the camera works fine.

Just press the back button to hide it.
Just wondering if anyone here has the ability to get rid of the warning message and landscape version?
It must be a relatively easy task for an experienced dev?
This guy managed to fix it for Hero, Magic etc. and no nag screen and landscape works. Look like he will attempt to fix N1 version as well. Info here:

Wont download for me !!! Just keeps resetting the page.
Anyone able to disable the error message? I am using the english n russian only version.
I'd prefer Swype, but other options exist...
I'd rooted my Kindle Fire and put Swype on there, and use it on my Evo (work phone) and on Incredible. So I'd prefer to have the same tool on all devices.
Two similar products that reportedly DO work with Nexus:
TouchPal Keyboard (free)
SlideIT ($5.99)
Both are in the Android Marketplace
Somewhere I think I've got the apk for ShapeWriter as well, and I used to like that one, so could be worth a test.
I'm not sure what the problem is here? I've been using Swype on my N1 for as long as I can remember, and have never had any problems?
Yeah...why not just download the beta from the official Swype website?

I second that. It's so much simpler. Detects your phone & offers the best suited version to download. All you need to do is register & create a username & password for yourself.
Hey guys,
I just got my T-Mobile Mytouch 3G Fender edition last night and it's been brilliant apart from this one bug mentioned in title.
One of the main reasons I wanted this phone was to use an Android based phone and then to use the integrated Google voice app. However, unfortunately everytime I launch the app it crashes and "Force Quit" option comes up.
Does anybody know of a workaround for this? If so, please let me/other users know. Thanks!
All help is much appreciated.
I would also like that, it seems to happen with a few roms.
Check out this thread http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6503 The fix is to install the Voice 0.2 apk. I tried it and Google Voice is not force closing.
Yea its pretty much a widespread issue with all Fenders and all MT3G v1.2, and currently the only work-around (hardly a 'fix') is to downgrade to 0.2, 0.3 is still broken and has been for several weeks now.
I don't know about you guys, but I've never been a fan of Swype or Samsung's keyboard, but I loved the Android Keyboard. Does anyone know if it works or have the apk for it? I wanna try and put it back on my 2.2 install and test it out.
I just found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=744373
Looks kinda like what I was looking for, but without the little part that slides upwards for the numbers.
This is what you're looking for.
LatinIME.apk
1. Put it on your SD card
2. Install via whatever you like to use.
or use the ADB to install it.
Thank you. That was just what I looking for. Only thing is, even when I enable the vibrate on keypress, it's not giving me any haptic feedback.
I'm using the keyboard here, listed under FroYo.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740301
Just install it as a regular app.
And do you get haptic feedback on the Android kb?
Edit: Yepp, the one from the AOSP thread actually has working feedback. Thank you MikeyMike.
Edit2: I lied. It doesn't. Lol
I've been using AnySoftKeyboard from the market.

Guys... You can enable it in the input options...
Settings > Locale and Text > Android Keyboard.
I know that. In 2.2 there is no android keyboard, they got rid of it. I want it back because I find it superior. However none of the ones I've installed have haptic feedback like they did on 2.1 and that's what I want. And yes I know that you have to enable it in the settings.

Thank you man, you're a lifesaver

I don't know if I hate haptic feedback or the samsung keyboard more. The Android keyboard is the best one out there (IMHO)
My whole point in creating this thread was to get the Android Keyboard back on 2.2 and have it fully functioning. Meaning I wanted the haptic feedback on it to work and it doesn't. Was there another file or something that went with the LatinIME.apk on 2.1 that I don't know about or couldn't find? Can anybody shed some light on this situation? I desperately hate the Swype and Samsung Keyboards.
No luck with this? I would like to have the Android 2.1 keyboard back as well. (with the hepatic response)
No luck. But I think I may know what the problem is.
On a few of the android keyboards I've seen around the forums, some of them had a corresponding .so file. I don't really know what that is, but I'll go do some research, rummage through my JF6 dump, and post my results here.
Edit1: Ok, so here is what I found. A .so file is a shared object file. Not quite sure what it actually does still, but the Android Keyboard (AOSP) has a .so file that goes with it. I'm guessing that this file is what allows the keyboard to have haptic feedback. I'm going to take the one from my JF6 dump and push it to JI6 and see what happens after a reboot.

can't use both of them at the same time as they both use the same file names.
EDIT: they do have option for vibrate on key press (haptic) though doesnt work.
Neither of them have haptic feedback on 2.2. I just tried both. And yes I did enable it in the keyboard settings. This is really frustrating. Why the heck did they remove this keyboard??

just realized it doesnt work though it is an option. my fault!
i never liked it anyways so im not missing anything
I'm experiencing the same thing, default froyo keyboard on a captivate with froyo, no haptic feedback.
So far I've tried:
- a bunch of different google searches for the same issue
- finding the apk in /system/app and giving it full permissions + reboot + uncheck and recheck the haptic feedback setting
- poking around the file system to see if I can find any settings to mess with
I understand froyo for the captivate is pretty new, but I'm surprised more people aren't asking about the best keyboard (IMO) missing a significant feature.
I agree. This is a superb keyboard and should not have been taken out
Sent from my Captivate
Yes I agree that the Android keyboard is awesome! Actually it was one of the reasons I liked my switch from iPhone. It's so easy to type with unlike most touch keyboards. Why in the world would Samsung get rid of it? Talk about a step backwards. I hesitate to update my phone now. I hope someone can come up with the perfect fix....
*typed on my android keyboard*
I just wish I could figure out a way to hack it back onto 2.2 in 100% working order. Everything works except for the haptic feedback and I cannot figure out why.

Took me a while to find this post and was wondering if anything has come of this? I just recenetly flashed to the latest cognition froyo build and ran into this exact same issue, however their latest build came with an android keyboard. Has anyone found a solution to this?
Hi Everyone,
I'm coming form Germany and own a Xoom MZ601 with 3G, Tiamat 2.2.2 flashed. Works like a charme! ...thanks to all developers for this!
In this forum I found the modded framework-res.apk to enable SMS via 3G...and it works perfect with GoSMSpro.
Now, I would like to enable voice calls via 3G, too.
Because I haven't found any suitable framework-res.apk for this, I tried to recompile it (with several versions of Apk Manager on Windooze and PengiOS ) in order to enable this feautre by editing the regarding parameter in BOOLS.XML...but at the moment there seems to be nooooo way to decompile Tiamats framework-res.apk with any version of Apk Manager. ...apktool breaks the toolchain. ...updating this piece of SW, ended up in some kind of version-conflict-nirwanas.
Could/would anybody lent me a hand?
TIA
StevieXoom
Wow man if you could do this it would be amazing. Many people tell me the Xoom has no hardware to make calls - but personally I don't see it. If it has a 3G radio that can send text I can see no reason why it isn't just a software issue stopping calls via 3G too!
Keep up the good work!
Sorry for my (stupid) post. I saw this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17578600&postcount=1"] and I also saw the link to the modified apk manager in the tutorial ...but I missed downloading it :-(
Now...all is fine!

groove ip
have you guys tried groove ip.it requires google voice number though. it works in the US not sure outside.
Hi there, I searched the forum for this and couldn't seem to find anything on it, and this had like 20 views and not one reply in the general Q&A section, so here goes;
I have a Droid Bionic on Verizon. I used Pete's one click root app and it worked great. I then loaded the Liberty rom as it was touted to have the best battery life. I love everything about the rom EXCEPT that there seems to be no visual voice mail with it. I don't want/need some fancy overly complicated vvm app like all the ones I found in the marketplace, so I was just wondering how/if I can get this resolved.
I tried downloading the Verizon VVM APK (I just Google searched for it) but then when I opened it, it popped up a message saying that my phone already had VVM on it and to use that one. I'm stuck.
I also just received a new update to my phone OTA, called 5.5.886.XT875. I'm on Android Version 2.3.4, if any of that matters.
This weekend I tried loading the UNLEASHED rom and the BLURRED rom this weekend, but one didn't have a camera app (BLURRED) and the UNLEASHED (which I'm using atm) is just slow and glitchy and I don't like it. I really wanna go back to Liberty but must have vvm for my line of work.
So, does anyone have any thoughts on this? Is there a way to contact a rom developer directly that I'm missing somewhere or something like that? Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
Try http://rootzwiki.com/forum/81-droid-bionic/
I think the dev spends more time over there.
