I'm running Miui and i dont like the keyboard it comes with. What is the best alternative, besides the ones in the market?
I havent found one yet that wont over ride some other mod/theme you have on there already. Unless you know how to make flash able zips yourself. You can install the Swype beta and skin it though i think? Here are the skins.......

Is there a better swype keyboard that we can install?? for example remove the one that came with the 3.70 software and install a better looking version or the white version i see on moto devices??
what happens if i delete sprint_swype and get the one off the swype site like i did with my hero?
thank you!!

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.

The newest swype beta came out a few weeks ago and I simply don't use it becaues it's so damn ugly, hah. Has anyone themed it yet? I find that the swype beta works WAY better for me for some reason, so I don't want to push the official to my phone. I've tried moving the app to the proper locations for the existing Metamorph themes to act on it, but it always ends up breaking swype (it didn't used to). AFAIK, the current themes at the moment only work on the old betas and the "official" for sense roms. Anyone know of themes for the latest beta?
For the record I'm on CM7 RC3.
Well... still no luck in my own search, but this thread was updated by the OP today:

So hopefully we'll have something soon. Surprised so many people are just dealing with how ****ty the swype beta looks
Ok i tried a couple of themes for swype and every time i try.. it deletes swype or it no longer a option to use in settings.. im wondering is there any theme for swype for the Tmobile g2
Where did you get these 'themes' from? I don't think you can apply an external theme to swype. It has to be part of the .apk which is a bit more in depth than just changing a picture. Doing it that way will cause nothing but FC's all day and you'll pull your hair out. You have to edit every .png that will have the theme changes not to mention the .xml files which there are plenty of. Theming swype is not a light project for most people.
I've never seen a custom swype theme for the G2/Desire Z so whatever you applied probably ran into errors while installing so it was aborted. Since the first thing that happens when you install an app is the old one is deleted - that's the only thing you got accomplished. Do you have a backup of your swype.apk?
Lol well i know all that stuff
first i tried to edit the apk, and resigned.. (i setup my sdk and sigin tool) and after i tried to push it in with libswypeCO and i went to look to enable it in settings and wasnt there i look in my system app and it shows its in there just the OS doesnt see it (dunno)
then i tried metamorph and same thing again..
so was asking if anyone had or had success in doing so and im guessing not.. Lol guess ill take the time to theme it myself... if any have success plz post or heads up on it
Well maybe I'll throw myself back into this one. I just don't have much free time between college and work but I'll see what I can do. Themed swype would be great - it's just something you couldn't share on here because it's not open like Android is.
I'm having issues getting flash player to work properly on CM7, I install but it acts as if it isn't. In my browser it just shows a lego brick in the middle of the screen.
I've done plenty of searching and haven't found any answers.
Also, does anyone know how to properly install Swype on CM7?
your best bet would be to ask on the website you downloaded it from.good luck tho dude.
I'm surprised no one here is talking or even has any links to CM7 for E4GT. For the most part it's solid, but I don't want to be without flash. Looks like I'll be using MIUI simply so I can use my wiimote.
I hate this swype that they have on here. I LOVE swype but this version is the worst thing ever. why do i get xxx everytime i want ! and why :/ when i want ? its so dumb none of the other ones had that issue.

As for your QUESTION, I dont think this is doable, even if you could find the apk for that version. This is because all apps are signed with certain keys. If the key matches that of an installed app, the installation is aborted if the version you are trying to install is lower than the present one. One workaround that may/may not work would be to get the apk, extract it, zip it back up and then sign it with some random keys (like the AOSP public keys) and then install it. The only problem with this would be that I have no idea as to whether the system would detect that as a "valid" keyboard since it would be installing as a user app, and also since there is another Swype present. So yeah. Just my 2 cents on it
