hey guys,
as the title suggest, can we install swype on the Desire HD?
It works exellent. I came from the galaxy s, and swype was the one thing i missed.
It worked just fine. But you will have to search for a version with your language in it. Then just install it as any APK file. Good luck
I've been using it just fine since I got my DHD - works great, although I wish the annoying pop up about custom words or whatever would disappear.
where to find it? download it i mean??

thanks bro
I find it annoying, when you double tap a word because it's wrong, you get the word selector as well as the Sense popup, so you can't see all the words
which version of swpe are you using i thought it had trouble with landscape on the DHD
I much prefer shapewriter to swype, they are not hugely different, but shapewriter has a few features i prefer.
PM me if you want to apk for the non expiring version. Its not available for sale anywhere, as the company that made it got bought up
Its one of the few apps i would be happy to pay for!

Try hitting the back button when you get the sense popup and the word selector, it makes the sense popup disappear on the version of Swype I'm using, thus giving you full view of the word selector.

Im useing 1.6. Would like a newer version with swedish layout and dictionary.
1.6 works great tough. Swype is really awsome as soon as you get used to it.
I do agree that Swype works flawlessly on the DHD....
However, I must admit, I like the HTC keyboard better....
It better predicts and auto corrects the words I need (in Dutch), also, with swype I find it more difficult to type letter by letter...

I can do this, but then when I choose a word, it inserts it wherever the cursor is so I'm left with giberish
Also, I have contact with a surname that keeps being used when I Swype 'mate'. I did what it said to remove it, it didn't work. I even removed the contact itself... didn't work!
Any ideas?

Which Sywpe version are you using? I have rolled back to an older version as the newer beta is absolute crap, the word selector was driving me up the wall.
Version 2.10.52.13753.t100
I would agree it seems to have go worse These days it seems much harder for it to work out what I write. Which version do you have?

I have moved back to version 2.4.44.10912.t100 I was using your version but I can't get on with it. At all.
Thanks for the tip. I've found that version, I'll give it a go
Hi,
If people are still looking for Swype, I have version 2.15.56.14870 -
I got invited into the beta on Friday was using it before then, the latest versoin is nice, the speech to text is a nice feature.

I'd edit that ASAP, you're offering illegal software.

AndroidSPIN is reporting that an HVGA version of Swype is now available, letting those of us with Eris' finally take a crack at this thing.
Which would be great, if it functioned. The install process goes okay (a step above the poor G1 users out there), but the keyboard then ... nothing. It's as though it doesn't exist. The Settings options are there (under Locale + Text), but nothing seems to happen. adb logcat revealed nothing in particular.
Anybody know what's up here?
You might want to follow this thread and see if it works for you.

I would try it but I'm more of a two handed typer myself...
I like the HTC Keyboard... (maybe because I just got the phone and I'm not tired of it yet). I had swype on my Omnia before I sold it, and it worked ok there because the small, lower res screen made touch typing difficult. I'm not finding that on the Eris. Although Swype would be more fun with a capacitive screen, I had to really push hard to get to work right on the Omnia...
I agree, the HTC keyboard is top-notch. I'm already at near-native typing speed on common words. It was more out of curiosity than anything. I'm always fascinated by emerging input technologies for embedded devices, and this seemed the most clever one to cross my desk in a while.

Just download it...
Then go into settings/locale&text/ and check the swype box.
Then head into your text or email app, and long press your dialogue box, it will ask you which input you wanna use swype or default keyboard and select swype!
Only prob I am having is that when i am in landscape mode, it will type but it wont show what i am typing on the screen, but if i switch to portrait it is there? weirdness...
Works just fine for me. make sure to disable audio sounds in the swype settings, there is a bug with the sounds.
I tried using it yesterday but it just wasn't my cup of tea...
here... http://rapidshare.com/files/354228280/Swype.micro.1.16.apk
this version is working fine for me, no expire warning. micro version = no tutorial/help file.
i really love swype on the eris.. it makes typing soooooo easy.

If you go to the link in post #1 of the topic, there's a screenshot. Swype is a soft keyboard. It works by "swyping" your finger from one letter to the next as you form a word. See the Swype website here:
http://www.swypeinc.com/
The videos on their website show how it works.
It works fine in Myn's Donut @ 320 x 480 @ 160. After downloading and installing, go to Settings > Locale & Text to set it up. Then when you long press in a text box, Swype will be an option for text input. You can easily switch back to the Android keyboard if you don't like it. I think it's almost easier to use your stylus when you are swyping, as you can see where you're going better than with your finger on our tiny keyboard. YMMV.

Thank you. Too bad I use 240. I don't mind the Donut keyboard, and int he past I have loved touchpal.
btw. there is very similar application to the Swype and it's called Shapewritter(free app), you can find it on a market. It also works on 320x240.
thanks for posting this, very cool!
Hello, I got the sprint hero and am trying to get swype but each one I find says "you trial has expired" or something along those lines. I see you put up a link in February and am wondering if you know of or have a swype apk that's not expired?
Thanks for any help.

If you search for "swype hvga 1.60" you will be able to find the version that works (at least it works fine on my cdma hero), and doesn't expire.

Thanks m8, found it right quick for my Legend.
I recently discovered both and I'm not sure which one I like best. What does everyone else like?
I was the same way so I kept both. That way I can switch whenever I want to man. It's nice.
I have both, but my fallback is the T9 keyboard from HTC. Swype is a funky concept, but in the end, a qwerty keyboard is a qwerty keyboard to me. I don't need another one if I have a physical one already.
Swype.Its so fast to type.
Swype, because now I can easily text with one hand while driving.
HTC_IME is the best VK around.
Swype !!!
and the 1.16.12.5230.t version even better
Swype it is.having to tick every letter is just soo annoying.and if I choose to, I can still do this with swype. Plus its a thing ipod users envy
Swype is good enough that I would consider buying a phone without a physical keyboard.
when i have to type web addresses in, i go with the htc ime, othewise, swype all the way (on a MT3G)
i use swype to play with... honestly i'm faster with a qwerty keyboard (i use better keyboard) but swype really is something to behold.

tried the 1.16...... version?
its much better at the standard 'single tap' typing than the 0.5...
swype.
Most defintely swype beats the htc IME for me. It just so smooth and make sure you get the newer version! Honestly, its slower for me to open my keyboard anymore...Now i have actually decided to get the nexus because typing will be a breeze.
I just downloaded Swype, it is amazing. I can type much faster single handedly (don't drive and text!) than with HTC IME. It is much more forgiving, which considering my large fingers and the Dream's tiny screen, is absolutely great.

hmm, didn't even notice that
the version number in my sig is taken from the swype settings
may be they round it off
edit : oh, file shows as Swype-SwypeReference-HVGA-trial-release.1.16.12.5228.219 on mediafile
i switch between three input methods:
swype is my primary for email, sms and such when at work, home, or out and about. ...and to simply make iphone people drool.
android keyboard from nexus has taken over the roll that ime use to fill since it has speech to text so it serves as my input when in the car so i can respond to emails the same way i can with handcent sms...just talk to the phone and watch the words appear
when i end up needing to surf web for a while or input email addresses, i still find myself falling back to htc_ime.
I tried installing Swype-SwypeReference-HVGA-trial-release.1.16.12.5228.219.apk via ASTRO.. I already had the "version 1" installed, so it offered me to "upgrade".. and I went down that path until it said "Swype cannot be installed on this phone"
??
EDIT: I also tried Apps Installer, but that always FCs on me
EDIT2: I uninstalled previous version of Swype.. rebooted.. launched Apps Installer (no FC this time) and the new Swype installed.
love Swype.....
IMO better than HTC_IME, especially with different lang.
very accurate for me, even in Korean typing!!! Cool
I have tried every setting in Swype, but I keep getting a little pop up thing with symbols on it. I can't figure out how to get anything to type. I have gone through the instructions, but I guess I need to watch the tutorial.
For comm rom ukb 2.0 please. In the previous versions i could simply drop the latinime.apk in /apps and latinime.so in /lib and reboot and it would replace the gb keyboard with the stock android keyboard.. It doesnt work with UKB 2.0. i cant stand the gb or samsung or swype keyboards.
+1. I miss the android kb so much.
For those that like it ( I don't understand how one wouldn't want to use a multitouch kb... but personal preference I suppose) you will have to delete the kb in system /app... there was a naming error where it got named latinime.apk.apk so that's why the newer kb won't over write it
if i have a stock rom and wanted to use the keyboard from commrom, can i just swap the LatinIME file or is there any other file needed? thanks

yes, but i named the one in com rom incorrectly so its LatinIME.apk.apk...so either rename it or delete ur existing latineime in systema/app before pushing the com rom one

Yay for Android keyboard! I wish it were at least an option in the rom but at least it's still working now.

because the gingerbread keyboard that we include has the package name as latinime under the hood it will always replace stock android...id imagine if we edited the apk it would work for both, but then we could run into other random issues
The Gingerbread keyboard *is* now the "stock Android keyboard," too. It's just newer than the one the Fascinate comes with.

I think multi-touch means you can continue typing while a finger is still on a letter, thus equaling faster typing, whereas on a non-multitouch keyboard your finger has to be completely off the screen in order to type another letter. It's better for people that press a key faster than they remove their finger off of the previous one. It's not just holding one key down and then typing the rest; it's adding better functionality. But as previously stated, to each his own.

Have you looked in your language and keyboard settings? I'm not sure if the stock and market keyboards share the same dictonary, go download the ics keyboard from market. Choose it in your language and keyboard settings. Then do a long press in your internet search bar and click input, then chose ics keyboard. Not sure if it'll work, but with a try.
You didn't accidentally change the language did you? Still says EN to the left of your comma key?
