The previous Swype Beta expired on me this morning. Fortunately, I had already registered for the previous Swype Beta. I uninstalled Swype and the Swype Installer, reinstalled per the instructions on the Swype Beta site and everything seems to be working great.
They removed an annoying feature that was added the last time. Previously, if you tapped on a word that had been entered, the text cursor would jump to the end of the word. It was very annoying. It no longer does that.
Also, in the Swype settings you can edit your user dictionary. It will give you a list of all the words in your personal dictionary, and you can delete or add more words. Nice!!! However, they don't let you edit the system dictionary. I would really like to remove "st" from their dictionary. If I'm swyping fast, I usually get "st" instead of "at".

I'm having a real problem with getting the new swype, any chance you could post the new apk? I've tried everything.
And I can't seem to completely remove swype... any advice?

Use Root Explorer or similar to manually remove all references to Swype from the /system folder and subfolders. Don't forget the libSwypeCore.so file, too.
I haven't tried it just yet, but I'll give those above suggestions a go later today.
EDIT: It worked, just don't forget to REBOOT after deleting and then use the Swype Installer.
i just used root explorer and removed the apk, then re installed using the installer and it didnt work.. until i did a restart. then i was able to re install it successfully.
Lost it again, can someone post the apk as well as the lib file, I'd be so grateful!

So pretty much the same options as with my Evo. Cool, thanks for responding kindly lol.
where can i get a swype board?? id like to try it out.
also, does anyone know when its gonna be available to everyone?
shapewriter is nice,I use it as my main keyboard however its off the market now.Anybody know if I can duplicate my shapewriter app for someone else to use?
search swype beta with yahoo, the first site that pops up should be it. Then sign up on the website and have them send you and email. Go to the email on your phone, the email will instruck you back to the web site to sign in and download the beta. In order for the website to determin what phone you have you need to make sure your phone browser is in android mode. After that just install it and go select it in your keyboard settings then you need to go to a text, click impute methode and select swype.

As long as shapewriter is "free" you can back it up with an app like titanium back up and then load it onto any device with that save. It should be as simple as navigating to the titanium back up folder and pulling the shaperwriter.apk or whatever its call to your computer and then putting it on the device you want. and installing it with astro or root explorer or something similar.

cool ,thanks! ill give it a try.
If you want the ability to swipe left/right on your contacts from the contacts app to go messaging/direct call then you can try out the Mesmerize's Contacts app. I've tried it out and the Contacts app works on the Fascinate and has the missing Swiping features.
Attached is a .rar containing "Contacts.apk" and "Contacts.odex" directly from the Mesmerize System Dump for those as well as a "Contacts.apk" that I deodexed and zipaligned in a folder in the .rar.
*Edit: According to Flipsoul, the .odex version doesn't work, so stick with the deodexed one in the folder, if you are still using an odexed system, rename or remove the Contacts.odex to get the app to work.
I take no responsibility for any damage you may do your phone, and enjoy the app.
Awesome, thanks. I liked that on the vibrant. Is the browser usable?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
Not to bubble burst but that's built into the Fascinate out of the box too. Some of you guys running clean ROM's et al might have lost this but it was there and still is if you didnt get rid of it
Nope, I've never flashed any ROM over my /system other than to update to DI01, my /system apps are stock, only mods I've done is deodex/zipalign it myself, and I never had the swipe to Call/Message before. So unless DIO1 removed that functionality, I'm confident to say I never had the feature until I applied the Mesmerize Contacts.apk
Saps, maybe you meant swiping from the text messenging app and from phone, because yes I've always been able to swipe from those, but never Contacts app.
I just got my fascinate and all I have done is root it. Still using stock rom and I DO have that functionality, I can swipe left/right and get the message call stuff, just tried it

I have deodexed my system and have the stock fascinate contacts app and mine swipes left and right.
There are swipe options for both versions, but it doesn't work the same. On the stock fascinate version swiping gives you the OPTION to place a call or send a message. On the mesmerize version, swiping takes you directly into that action without asking.

I was getting into bootloops when trying to install the odex version.
After deodexing my system, the deodexed version went loaded everything fine.
EDIT:
Did some more research on odex/deodex (still just tinkering)
Someone else try to confirm it does/doesn't work. for the odex files.
It might actually have been fine if I knew how to clear the dalvik cache before.
>.<
EDIT2: I'll try going back, and testing again tomorrow when I have time.
Does the Dialer work as well? A non-Verizonized voicemail button would be nice.

Sadly, no don't think the Dialer works, or at least I can't get it to.
Hmm.
Went back and reloaded my odex system and tried installing the odex versions, rebooted into CWM, wipe data/dalvik_cache, and still wouldn't boot.
Hmm.
ughhh.. i need this to work!!
The deodexed apk should work on any system as long as you rename/delete the old odex.
Suggest you take a back-up first.
I had originally tried the odex file to see if it would work....
But from what I've learned it doesn't seems like using an odex from any other system wouldn't do you much good.

That's OK, the Google Voice-voicemail Dialer mod is a perfect match.
edit: nevermind
So I've been using this and REALLY REALLY like the simplicity of swiping to call/text.
Does anyone know of a recent dialed calls app that lets me do the same, there as well?
Being a recent first time smartphone user, I somehow can't get over the fact that these phones don't have a dedicated 'dial' button. All feature phones that I've ever owned had a green button that I could press once to get into the dialer/recent dialed list and immediately press again to call that number. Currently, it takes just too much work to go hit the contacts button, then the to select a contact and THEN to dial/text.
bump ? ? ?
ok how would i go about installing this? downloaded the .rar now what....
Im on the leaked factory froyo, havent had any problems with swype in the months ive been on froyo. Installed "shootme" screen grab app, used it once, then moments later started getting the 3 vibrate error. Tried to open market to uninstall but the phone froze then shutdown. On reboot, phone was slow and continuously gave me 3 vibrate error. Switched to samsung keyboard because the buttons to the left and right of swype spacebar were blank, the error stopped and phone functions correctly on samsung keyboard. Uninstalled shootme, rebooted, tried to use swype, got the same error.. i feel naked without my swype...

I've been running Shoot Me and Swype with no problems. Have you installed the latest Swype beta? The previous versions expired. The new release comes with an installer that will keep it updated. If you haven't already, try doing it that way. You have to sign up with Swype to get the new beta.
beta.swype.com
Awesome, thanks for the help. One question, the website says "If your phone came pre-installed with Swype
DO NOT download this beta (it won't work)"
Am i missing something, or should i just do it?

Scratch that, swype is back up and running quicker than ever! Kreepyken, consider yourself my hero for the next few hours at least!

And now it has decided to give me the error again... serendipity time i suppose...
If you want to replace your Swype, you must first do the instructions from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12042627&postcount=5. Then sign up for the beta Swype (it's free) and follow the instructions there. Or like you said, just install a new Rom.
Well I went to the swype website last night, followed the directions, and got it working. That only lasted a few hours though before it reverted right back to giving me the same error. Something about a process "inputmethod". I wish I had the patience to try to rectify the problem in case somebody else has the same issue, however I decided it was just time for an upgrade
Hey everyone i thought i would bring the good news to people who are swype fans and let you guys know that the new swype 3.0 is available for download and is open for the public to join as well.
i know people on the TB were having some problems with swype in the beginning, and for all i know got fixed long before beta 3.0, but regardless the new 3.0 fixes the spacing problem on the TB and has some cool new features as well, go check it out at swype beta website
http://beta.swype.com/
Great find.. thanks!
Works great

It seems to have fixed the issue at reboot. Don't need to toggle input methods anymore to get swype fired up which was anoying
So far so good! First time that the downloaded beta actually typed properly. Previously had to use a diff version found on xda here somewhere.

I totally uninstalled the installer & app... started from scratch... Works fantastic, no spacing or reboot issues.
The new inline word suggestion is top notch. Will see how it "learns" but maybe just a half step below swiftkey so far after a few minutes of use...

I still like Flext9 a lot...although I am using this on my Xoom because it supports tablets and Flext9 doesn't.
+100 on flext9.
Autospacing doesn't work for me when i am texting. Works fine in email and other applications though.
Uninstall and re-install worked for me.
I agree, the update is really nice. It still does not work with the pre-installed messaging app, but with apps like handcent, I will never go back to the pre-installed app.
I logged in with my account, installed the installer and the version says 1.1.26483. Is that just the installer or is something wrong?
I went ahead and installed it and my swype isn't white like in the picture either.
I bounce between Swype and FlexT9 periodically. Flex is easier with words that have double letters, but it really, really sucks in dealing with spaces after punctuation.

Thanks so much for posting this, I was lamenting my lack of swype, now I can swype to my heart's content. That reminds me, is there a way to put away the swype keypad like the stock one?

I got an email saying I was eligible to download a new beta version of swype before its release. It said since I'm currently using swype beta 3.6, I get to try out the newest version. I tried downloading it and it wouldn't do it at all. Anyone else get this email, and also able to actually download it?

Yeah, it said if I already had swype installer, which I do, to just uninstall my version of swype and use installer to update. I'll try what you said, to uninstall swype installer. Thanks for the tip. Btw, how is the new swype? Worth it?

Its the same as 3.6 but they fixed the "jumpy" cursor issue when you try to put it in the middle of a word. Its also supposed to have improved copy and paste but I haven't used it.

Well worth it in my opinion. The copy and paste is a great improvement and really well done. Also you can manage your own personal dictionary which is really nice.

A lot of devs do it. 25 comes after 6
Think of it as 3.06 vs 3.25. Some programs don't let you put in the leading 0, so not much ado about it.
Now - where are the directions for launching Twitter (and others) and can I pick my apps (like Plume) instead?
