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.

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

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.

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.

Just started using it not bad at all. I just wish it was a cross between this and thumb keyboard. This one feels just a little small in split keyboard mode

The process took less then 2 minutes from registering to downloading - have it now and about to install.
Looks ok.
I think Thumb Keyboard has a lot more functionality (directional keys, readily accessible punctuations, @ symbol, parentheses, .com key with extras [.net, .org, .etc) when longpressed and all other 'tabbed' symbols just require a longpress, too.
Just MHO.
Here are some screen shots just not a big fan of the full screen text input. Would also like split me keyboard in portrait.

Hated it, went back to stock. Takes way too much realestate in portrait, my main viewing format.

haha me too... why would you need this keyboard if you are using it in portrait? wouldn't stock work well enough? just wondering.... but the whole full screen force thing is bad, thumb keyboard does it too by default, but you can override it.
Hey I am waiting to have my account admin approved on swiftkeys site, in the mean time could someone post the APK for the keyboard!?!
Pretty plz!

patience grasshopper. they are really fast about it, shouldn't be more than a few minutes. respect developers' wishes. if they wanted it out here they would have posted it here.
Trying it out now, so far I love the look of the app and it has been working great.

It needs some work still, I was on a closed beta (which I think I can admit), and of course, now use the open beta available on the forum.
But despite the issues with sizing and the alternate keys for symbols and stuff, the predictive text is still like the number one need when typing on a tablet, and it is so much more useful than stock. I don't use split mode atm, because of the key sizes, but I'm hoping I'll like that once they get it worked out.

The common theme seems to be the small buttons are an issue. Hopefully they will make th necessary adjustments.
I'm sure they will, it was among the first comments in the closed beta. I'm using standard layout for now.
Also, nobody can deny... SwiftKey's style on the Xoom is freaking awesome.
Great slide show from Network world showcasing current and (more interestingly) upcoming honeycomb applications:
http://newsletters.networkworld.com/t/5513776/258772317/260944/0/
you know, living with the fact that there are so-few tablet optimized apps out there, I really forget about how insane its going to be once the tegra tablet games really start rolling in. Some of this stuff is going to look GORGEOUS, especially with the overclock
edit: and that swiftkey looks GREAT; havent used the beta but It looks like I found my new keyboard
So excited for the games.
im excited for the new swift key, its my primary keyboard for my phone and the neon loks sick. The tablet future looks awsome
I just loaded Opera based on the slideshow stating it is optimized for tablets this week. Complete lie. It is the furthest thing from honeycomb optimized.
I really like the new SwiftKey! Using it right now to type this reply... the default theme is OK but I'll change it as soon as more come out...

For swiftkey, is it a different app then the one for the phone? I already bought thumb keyboard for my xoom, but I have swiftkey for my phone, so I want to know if I have to buy it twice.

I second that. Opera is not even close to being Xoom friendly.
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.
You can download it @:

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

There is an interesting point on this version:

Never been a fan of swipe. But good of them to throw freebies out there.

+1 on the sprint skin. Looks nice with the high contrast of our screens.
I just came over from a supersonic so I was having a bit of trouble adjusting to typing on a smaller screen, but this certainty helps. I find it even easier to use Swype on a 4.0" screen.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
Giving it a try now; I used to use Swype all the time on my EVO and EVO Shift, but I like the Gingerbread keyboard a lot so I hadn't given much thought to installing Swype on my Nexus.
Why not though, eh?
The Sprint skin is kind of trippy. Digging it.

The skin is nice, but don't miss the new features that are only available in this version (for now anyway):

This has some other updates too, at least for me. I stopped using Swype a few months ago. One thing I noticed is that it has better prediction like slide it has. (I found slide it much easier to use.)
Anyway, I am liking swype again.

I know, but I want to try. website swype can not download this version only 3.6.84.26668
Anybody with a regular (non-Sprint) Nexus S tried downloading this? I gave it a go last night and ended with just regular ver. May have been a bit early, time-wise, but it's probably tied to device fingerprint.
Those of you who have successfully installed this new version, would you mind uploading your build.prop (for the device fingerprint)? Assuming it's just a simple check on initial install, it could work for us non-Sprint-ers.
Loving the Sprint Swype, least Sprint understands they owe us.
