I'm debating upgrading to the newest nightly of cyanogenmod however I really do not want to let go of my stock swype. I'm not interested in using an alternate app like shapewriter either....
Has anyone successfully loaded the stock apk onto their CM build for this phone? If so, please explain how!
Thanks!

I suggest you sign up for the Swype beta and wait patiently.
Theres no way to salvage the apk before i flash the new rom i suppose...?

Well, if you need a froyo rom with Swype you should download Eugene's Froyo (newbuild.zip) and flash it via ROM Manager. Otherwise, no, there's no way to salvage it.
thanks for the quick reply, i'm going to look into it.
Try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=749273 . Some of the people here don't like Swype and are totally against installing it on other ROMs but it is doable.

Thanks for the link, i'm in the process of going through it.
I don't see why anyone would not want swype at least as an option on a custom rom, especially since the stock version runs beautifully. Swype is really smooth and accurate, so much so that I wouldn't mind not having a hardware keyboard!
swype is an acquired taste lol some like it some dont but once you use it and get used to it its the best at what it does! sign up for the beta and they should send you a swype installer pretty quickly only real problem is that it isnt themed like the one that comes with the slide
go to 4shared and search for swype there should be a themed version that doesnt get old
and on another note if you sign up and register on swype then search for a swype installer and use that you should be able to use swype that way since it will see you are registered to use it and what not!

Check out the new Froyo builds with Swype.

was looking for any help on how to get swype to work on the phone... what version of the software does work and exactly how did you get it to work. Any help would be appreciated, as this program is the dealbreaker on a rom, to me. Tried SlideIT and I don't like it much. Thank you for your help, folks.
I've been using shapewriter instead, its not as nice looking as swype but better than slideit.
you could always sign up for the beta for swype, then just install it and be happy... that sounds like a good idea to me

The beta is closed for new sign ups.
Have you tried to install it in /system/apps?
You might have to go into recovery to mount /system then while in recovery try and adb install
Dont know if it will work, but that is what I would try.
Good luck

I have found a few hvga Swypes on here that work with most roms and you install it regular-no need for adb.Just search for hvga Swype 1.56(latest version,i think) and you good to go.
Works on most roms but not all,im currently on htcclay's MR1V4 Remix and it doesnt work.Worked on Slideteam,CM and few more,current MR1V4 has Swype included.

I want the ORIGINAL HTC EVO keyboard , the one with arrows.. Does anyone have it? If so please give thank you. (OR anything similar)
couldnt you just go to a stock rom or any custom rom using sense ui and take the keyboard.apk (idk what its called) from the /system/app folder and just install it with a file manager?

Latest Stock Apk
This is the latest HTC stock 3.28 keyboard apk. It should also be faster than downloading a rom and looking through it all.
When i try to install that keyboard, it tells me application could not install.
What other way is there to install it?
I'm also on cm6. I be in the need for them arrow keys! lol.
Greetrings,
INMHO UltimateKeyboard is really a better keyboard app. While I don't have
a direct link for it. I can say it does have the arrows but as a link, so it won't
interfere with the keys themselves. It also has a great many other features, that
also don't interfere with the keys, but greatly enhance the keyboard.
DISCLAIMER:
I don't have any affiliation with UltimateKeyboard, or it's author. I just love to use it.
Can't find it?

The SwiftKey X beta that's free on the market has an option to turn on arrow keys. Plus it's a really nice keyboard anyway.

I can't find the keyboard that you mention, just a lot of keyboards and some showdowns. Do you have the link, QR code, developer name, or apk?

For swype you have to go into settings > language & keyboard > and then disable the built in keyboard (cant remember what its called) and enable swype.
Can't help ya with the flash player.
No flash for the slide. Sorry.
The processor has the wrong architecture for it.

He's running cyanogenmod, swype only comes with the stock rom. He'll either have to find it elsewhere or stick with the stock keyboard.

There is actually flash in the stock rom, although I think it is an alternative developed by HTC. There is a flash player on the HTC rom though, just not on custom roms.

Step 1. Use the search feature to find a useful thread. Seriously, there was a topic about this like less than a week ago.
yeah I'm not even gonna bother with the rest, just learn to search.
Wait, you are the SAME guy who started the thread about this less than a week ago, why are you posting about it AGAIN on someone ELSE's thread? You already had your question answered, what are you doing?
I went on youtube and did it through the unlockr they have all the unlocking tips . Step by step real easy . Go on youtube and type how to root mytouch slide .
Yep. I heard that there isn't flash on the cyanogen rom and swype too isn't installed.

ask this in the thread of the rom itself. is more likely to have a answer there
I can not ask there, because i need at least 10 posts to write something in a development forum.
thanks for reply
That's already 2 ;-)

Well if you won't go to the dev, the dev goes to you. I have removed Kies and all Kies related stuff because it was bogging down on the memory.
Sorry =\
hey Kezra, another user, that can't post in DEV forum
is there some way you could give us Swype apk? you removed this keyboard in newest ROM, which is bad for me since I have to use Swype beta and it's not as accurate as normal swype.
You can find all those apps you are asking for here:

Hi, I'm on stock DXKJ5 and want to try this custom ROM out. I know that it's based on EUR ROM. Can I flash the custom ROM right away or should I first flash the stock EUR ROM?
Hi, just another note on this Rom:
I had trouble with my titanium backup, as it tried to restore swipe settings ave as mentioned before swipe is not included. Our ifs not a bug, but be aware that this might cause trouble.

Swype, TW calculator and TW calendar
Hi, I downloaded the .apks of the swype, twcalculator and twcalendar. Of course it wouldn't just install like other normal apps, so I tried to move it directly into the system/app folder.
I just won't move (or copy)! Says that some error ocurred and that it's impossible to move.
The phone has Kezra V3 rom and V6 super charger. It's rooted alright.
I miss swype... and MOST OF ALL, I miss XT9! It seems it just went away with this Version 3. Downloaded Go Keyboard but didn't really liked. The stock gingerbread keyboard with swype and full functioning XT9 is far better.
I'm considering "dowgrading" it to V2 again, I found a working download link somewhere in the V3 thread for it.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance

unzip the rom, place all the apps that you want in "system", "app", rezip the rom and flash it again without wipping data in cwm, that should solve your problem

Thanks a lot mate. I'm going to give it a try.
I tried to do this after the rom was flashed, with scrip manager. Just copy the app directly into the /system/app folder, however it didn't work.
I'll post my experiences back.
By the way, do you have any insight on the XT9 issue? It was a must have for touchscreen keyboards... I could live without swype, but XT9 was suppose to work with samsung keyboard... I'm confused with that.

Dude, thanks a lot! I tried this ICS keyboard and liked it. It's not as intelligent as the stock gingerbread keyboard used to be but it goes quite close.
I tested the SlideIT app and LOVED IT. Replaced everything else, and now KP V3 works fine for me
I can't thank xda dev enought!
I'm on stock 2.3.5 with the added darkside kernel, i tried changing my build.prop to the i9100 and when i changed it back i can't use Samsung apps, Tmobile TV says I'm not compatible and now my Swype license is gone, anyway i can get it back so i can Swype again?
Edit: I just flashed a custom ROM and it did the trick

You can try installing the Swype beta.

Thanks but I like the one that's preinstalled, it looks better, but I'm using it in the mean time
