Is it possible to obtain the full qwerty keyboard from the Official Sprint ROM? I installed the Diamond Keyboard and it overwrote the Full Qwerty Keyboard that came with the Official Sprint ROM. I liked the look of the Keyboard from the official sprint rom better. Is there a CAB install or anything floating around that I can use to remedy this short of reflashing?
EDIT: Just un-installed the Diamond Keyboard and the full qwerty one from the Sprint Rom came back...YAY!

You can use the Swype installed on your device or the beta version, they should both work fine. You would probably want to remove the Sprint Swype first before installing the beta. I went back to the beta initially as it wasn't included in my ROM choice, but ended up figuring out how to use the Sprint Swype and jumped back to that. I believe they both work about the same in my experience. If its just theming you are after, I recommend checking here. It themes the keyboard picture and the trace line, and in my opinion looks a lot sharper than the Sprint or Beta Swype. You have to be comfortable with root and metamorph however.

I'm looking to untheme the Warm Z swype keyboard back to default Swype theme. Is this possible? Or would it be possible to use Swype on a Gingerbread keyboard?
just uninstall the swype that came with the rom, and sign up for swype beta on their website. it's much better than the ota one anyways. you can't swype on the gb keyboard (swype is an entire keyboard itself with a framework and everything, not a utility put on top of an already working keyboard) but there is probably a theme out there somewhere. any other questions, dont be afraid to ask.
Thanks, everything worked great after getting root explorer and read/write permissions to uninstall the built-in Swype.
One more thing, is it possible to disable the voice command button the keyboard for Swype? I always press it on accident and I can't imagine anyone actually uses it anyway.
Sorry for the non-contribution but I have to..
Why would you even want to un-theme it? That kb is gorgeous!
Also.. I use voice input often while driving. It works very well
But I do agree with dkd, the beta rocks, especially being able to re-dl the official version any time you need to
I got the new JB update and i am loving it! Now, if i remember correctly with the JB update you can install 20 different custom keyboards one of them being the US PC keyboard. I keep looking in Language and Input. But i don't see an advanced button anywhere!
Since this is sprint did they remove this feature? If so i'll be mildly sad as i hopped over to sprint just so that the OS wouldn't be gutted that much (and their awesome unlimited data).
Am i missing something?
Hey guys!
I wanted to know what you guys think is the best ROM with the Galaxy S III that gets to keep Swype with it.
I pretty much need swype and the "Beta Swype" sucks.
The stock one that comes with the phone is perfect.
Or if I could backup swype and then get it again with a custom ROM that would be perfect too

I don't think our phones come stock with the Swype app on them...You could try Ti backup or I have the JB 4.2 keyboard that I can give you which has a swipe type feature on it. Try this out. http://db.tt/gFNEwThQ

They don't come stock with name-brand Swype, but the Samsung keyboard does have a Swype alternative that comes with the phone. As for a CM10/AOSP based ROM that has this Samsung keyboard in it, I've not seen one. I have seen plenty that come with the 4.2 keyboard that Robbie mentioned that allows for the Swype. Also SwiftKey has their SwiftKey Flow beta out that's pretty slick. I'll do a bit more research and see if there's a way to flash the Samsung keyboard back on AOSP ROMs without issue. You can try Titanium Backup like Robbie suggested to backup the Samsung keyboard on a TW ROM and then restore it on a different ROM, or try one of the alternatives in the mean time
(Though as an aside, this is the first I've heard of someone preferring Samsung's Swype to the Swype beta )
Well I tried to edit my previous post, but apparently it goes flagged and wouldn't let me , so sorry for the double post.
But it looks like you should be able to flash the file in this link to get your stock Samsung keyboard back on AOSP ROMs:

the samsung 4.1.1 rom comes with swype built in, in addition to the samsung with swype-like capabilities. it's a bit better than the samsung keyboard.
swiftkey flow beta is nice. my preference is the vanilla 4.2 keyboard. Those with Titanium Backup can convert either of these keyboards to system apps to avoid the "non system keyboard" security messages.
I love the keyboard I have on my Gnex. I have a custom ROM (Carbon 1.8) on it and the keyboard does sype-like entry and has the alternate characters on hold. I cannot find the options for that on my FLO, so I went ahead and found one that has the alt characters but does not do swype yet (dev said coming soon). I have had issues with Swype not tracking my Shrek fingers (as my wife calls them), but the AOSP does fine. Any idea where I can get it? I tried installing the lat keyboard, but got an error. TIA.
The official google keyboard?
