It's still a pain in the butt to install/update. I love how it works, but I've spent all day trying to update it and I'm fed up.
What's the best swype like app on the market? How is it better/worse?
Sign up for the touch pal beta. Also doesn't swype ota update now?

I use slide it from the market. There is a trial version. Maybe give this a test before you make purchase.
Try TSwipe Pro, it's not really "free" though. If you don't register, you can swipe a few times before the nagging window pop-up. But for me, it's worth the money

Swype connect pretty much ensures that the update happens smoothly.....easy as pie for me. What error are you facing ?

Unable to parse package. I've tried reinstalling and still the same. I may try again over the week when I'm on wifi again.
I've been using SlideIT and like it so far. There are some things that aren't quite right about it though. Maybe that will work out over the week. I'll be sure and try out TSwipe before I pull the trigger on buying anything.
I tried again last night on EDGE and it worked. Not sure what went on but I guess I have some apps to uninstall.
very pleased by slideIT... really nice with own save dictionary too now.

Hey, has anyone managed to find a file in .apk format of the recently released alpha? they only way you can get it from mozilla's site is in a .install file, which, because of our darling At&t, we cant do anything with...
Got apk from here

Thanks for the link
I know it is alpha, but what are the thoughts so far on it? I find it very slow. I hope they can get gear monkey incorporated on this
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
They proboably won't start optimizing the code until it goes beta. Alpha is more about just getting the feature set right and making sure everything works moderatly well.
More than likely they re-used as much code as possible from the desktop variant (to get it going) which is def. not optimized for a mobile device.
It looks promising to me. I like the way tabs are handled and add-ons will be really cool if they ever take off (I need fire gestures).
Thanks for the link, dang you AT&T .........
It runs like crap, and fc randomly, dont know why they even released this to the puplic,
I will say this about, its much more functional than the pre alpha I've been testing the past couple weeks, certainly not ready for day to day use, but its nice to see mozilla making progress
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I know it's alpha, but as soon as I load it it freezes. They aren't kidding about alpha, maybe they should list it as nearly operable.

It looks like it will be cool with the weave sync and all. Unfortunately I can't get it to run for more than a min without a force close.I did visit gmail and it wa formatted for an old flip type phone and just text...not for a smart phone like we are use to setting with an android browser.

I don't even get an FC. App just dies randomly. Otherwise, it looks really nice. I'm digging the interface. Once it gets stable, this will be my default browser
Has anyone got Swype working? I tried to download the apk for the ascend but it doesn't work, it installs and I can change the input to Swype but when I try to type it does not work. I will try different models and see if I can get it to work.

Figured I would post this here after helping someone on the Zclusive FB page asking about Swype. For those of you who like Swype, but cannot get the beta to work anymore with the ZIO (i had the beta at one point, updated and it wouldn't let me download)
I believe the Zio was promised Swype with 2.2 but it never happened. And sorry ahead of time if it's against some kind of ToS to post link to Apps that aren't necessarily free or paid, but in beta

Downloaded Swype from the link above. Works like a charm on my zio, I am using swype to send this message. I will report any bugs here.
Sent from my Zio using XDA Premium App
Dude thanks. I have been looking for swype everywhere. It's a little slow but not too annoying. It's faster on my sisters Evo but maybe it's a hardware issue. Or maybe I just have a slow phone.
You can chose to change the way Swype responds in the options
Sent from my Zio using XDA Premium App
Im an Ultra Keyboard Fanboy, sadly..
Ultra keyboard has swype capabilities (called tracing), that is just as good as swypes, but ultra kbd is so much more customizable than swype. More responsive as well imo.
Give it a shot.
Ya I'll check it out, I'm just getting used to using swype without error, I don't like how I have to choose my words to make it work.
Sent from my Zio using XDA Premium App
have been wanting to try swype...but using slideIt and have had zero probs with it...tried a bunch and settled down with it ..the trace works awesome.
Yeah all that is customizable through ultra kbd settings. You trace, then hit space and it will choose the default word. It'll still give you options, but in a horizontal menu, instead of vertical.
Word prediction is stellar as well

Anyone else have any issues with Swype saying that the trial has expired? I have tried to uninstall and reinstall.
Sent from my Zio using XDA Premium App
A pretty gutsy claim, yes.
But I've been typing with this kbd for 2 days now, and I gotta say that with the general impreciseness of our screens, this keyboard allows me to type 50% faster than any other kbd on the market.
It has predictive text, but also searches for words that go with the prior word typed.
It also has the ability to learn from your typing style by analyzing your sms, text, gmail and facebook messages.
I highly recommend this keyboard for ALL zio owners.

It is starting to give me a language pack error

Very nice but at 17mb it eats up alot of ram. I'll give it a try for a while longer and see how well it really works.
Sent from my Zio using XDA Premium App
Its a beta release, so there are going to be bugs Im sure. Works 100% for me, and Im tellin ya, its far superior to all kbds I've tried. Even ultra kbd 0.o
Yeah, it does take up a little more RAM, but for the functionality, and the responseness of the program, I dont mind. Also being as it is a beta release, there might be some more code trimming to be done that will reduce the amount of ram.
But, If you think about it, its one of the most important apps for your phone; your keyboard. With that said, I wouldnt mind if it took up 20-25Mb, as long as it performs just as it does now. With my ROM installed, Im still at 55Mb-60Mb free RAM with it installed (and thats NOT stock -- on an established system).
I got the Language pack Error as well. Go into Settings/Language Profile/Language and download the English or whatever language you use.
I have purchased swift key and have been using it for over a year now. I rarely need to use more than two or three key strokes per word. The way it predicts the next word is simply amazing. Hands down the best keyboard replacement out there. Those of you who are using the beta version and having trouble with it should try the 30 day trial of swift key without the X available on the market.

Nice to see you guys comin' around to SwiftKey. i've been using it for quite a while and got in on the VIP/beta program for 2/X. It's gotten better and better over the last several months.
Option to apply skins is planned, too, FYI.
After using this keyboard for about two weeks, all I can say is SIMPLY AMAZING. The way it predicts words is phenomenal I rarely even have to type anything as it pieces together sentences for me almost flawlessly. I highly recommend this to anyone frustrated by the lame stock keyboards from android, or I would put it against any of the slide,swype style keyboards any day.
SwiftKey was super slow on my Zio. I'm not sure why everybody has such luck with it. Smart Keyboard Pro is way faster and uses up less memory. The text prediction really does suck though
Check out ThickButtons. Free. Best for zio IMO
Yeah I'm gonna go ahead and say swiftkey speech to text for the win I'm using it right now

I know I was looking for something similar to MyMobiler for Android ... with no luck, and I'm sure some of you have been too.
This is still in beta but the idea seems cool .. at least you can txt from your PC.
I've tried to sign up but I believe they are very busy right now. Looks very cool though. Hope they do a FireFox plugin eventually.

i got accepted into beta, love it.
Just got in too - working brilliantly!
Been using this since it was Texty. Very cool. Not without its quirks, but definitely worth having if you use chrome.

rom links dead
I fixed the links. All links for the ROM and Gapps are posted on the Downloads page of my site from now on. Just follow the link.
I just switched back to Hanger's ROM from CM9 and I must say, even though it doesn't get as high of benchmarks, it feels a whole lot snappier and there seems to be 0 lag in his ROM. Very pleased and will probably use it as a daily driver now. Thanks a bunch for your hard work. Hope everything in your family is OK now.

I've learned after years of computer use and building and repairing them that benchmarks don't always mean anything. Benchmarks rarely test the average performance that a user will experience.

I just went to ad fly homepage and manually entered the download code or whatever to the end of the URL. Worked for me.
Rom ui looks awesome. Running smooth so far. Little bit of keyboard lag but that's par for the course with ics from my experience. Can tell you put a lot of time into this.

OK its been a few hours now and the keyboard lag is getting really bad in some instances. Also, in the messaging app, hitting the button to start a new convo just crashes back to the home screen. That's all I've really noticed so far.

Hanger doesn't check this thread regularly; if you have a "bug," see OP and report it in the bug tracker so it can be addressed in the next update.
Are you guys using the stock keyboard? Give swiftkey beta 3 a shot or the new JB one

Did you make sure and do a full wipe first? You didn't by chance restore data with TBU did you?
I've been running this ROM for weeks and I don't have either bug on my install.
Sent from my EPAD using XDA Premium HD app
Love the ROM but have some lag...
I'm having lag to the point of frozen. I've had to pull the battery about 4 times in the last 3 days. It's not related to USB issues since I'm not plugged in when it happens. The apps (not any in particular) seem to overload the phone's ability to process. If I'm lucking it reboots - otherwise it's a battery pull.
I did restore data using TBU and I'm using the "lazy" kernel configuration.
Other than that I really love this ROM. Seriously. It has every buzzer and whistle I could hope for and they all work.

Yeah when i was testing for Hanger and i ran in to similar probs in the alpha builds don't restore data via tbu. the problems for me went away when i didn't. Also double check your cwm version, make sure it's the newest for the inc.
