Untheme Warm Z Swype keyboard?

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

Fix Swype W/ Custom ROM

I have been seeing a few new Andriod users out there that are unfamiliar with the way things work (software wise). One annoying repetitive complaint is "I installed a custom rom and now my swype is gone!ZOMGWTF!"... Well DUH you formatted you phone and installed over anything that was originally your phone...
But fear not PC challenged newbs, there is a simple solution:
Sign up for Swype Beta at beta.swype.com and install that, this info is everywhere but one more place can't hurt...
(Yellow box, vibrate, and no output with Swype enabled.)
Well now here come the other typical complaints (and solutions),
"Now I have to select Swype as user input everytime I want to type or it doesn't work, pfft FAIL!!!"
(Solution 1: Do not install to Swype as an App2SD and be sure it resides on your phone like a good little app.
Solution 2: Using a root uninstall application (or manually) remove the gingerbread 2.3.3 keyboard (or other version that is not Swype).)
Re-install the gingerbread keyboard if you really want it and you are winning bigger than Charlie Sheen, the keyboard will now no longer trump the Swype and you can go about your merry way. EDIT: Some phones lose connection to the Swype library even if Swype is the only soft keyboard installed and is not on the SD card, in this case installing a second soft keyboard AFTER installing Swype will fix the issue.
"Now every reboot I have to re-select the Swype keyboard."
See Complaint #2
So basically if you want Swype with no issues, install it after ROM flash and then uninstall other keyboards using root.
Now people please quit *****ing about Swype not being inlcuded in your "favorite" ROM and take some initiative and fix it yourself.
And for those that say ... Ha ha ha, should have used Titanium Backup, you are dead WRONG and have never used Titanium Backup to restore a factory installed Swype... It won't work no matter how hard you rub Buddah's belly.
EDIT: Posted this info to keep the threads a bit more cleaner from all the non-ROM related issues people post... I'm so sorry that your phone cannot microwave my pizza while bluetoothing with a custom ROM. Hopefully someone else feels my sarcasm.

The important thing I've noticed is to just make sure the keyboard is installed onto the phone. You shouldn't have any problems with it disappearing after a reboot if it's on your phone instead of the SD. This will make it so you don't have to bother with the hassle of removing the stock keyboard.

these methods should help but i believe swype on this phone is garbage (i have big fingers), but it is helpfull my wife enjoys the swype keyboard and this helps me when i go to root her phone.

Glad to help. Hope I didn't come off too sarcastic and some people got a laugh. Also to explain why it cannot be on a ROM, it is licensed software not available under the GNU.

Use the SlideIt keyboard. It is much easier to use. You an go from tap to slide mid word and a bunch of other intuitive moves. Plus, it doesn't have the voice command button for you to accidentally hit.

I have signed up for the swype beta before and im not sure if i had it on sd or not, but when i tried typing a yellow box would come around the swype keyboard and i had to select the stock keyboard and then select the swype keyboard again for it to work right, will having it on the phone fix that?

Uninstall stock keyboard, then reinstall keyboard. Goofy I know but it works. Should be on the OP. There seems to be a bug in the software when reconnecting to the library if it is not the only or first installed soft keyboard. I had to do this as well and have not had a problem since.

inb4 "Why doesn't Swype swipe?"
Swype often doesn't swipe after you reboot your phone. The easiest way to fix that is switch your Input Method away from Swype (e.g. to the stock keyboard) then back to Swype.

If you follow my OP Swype will always work.

I uninstalled the main gingerbread keyboard and left swype as my only one and still get the no swyping error often. I had to download a kb from the market just to reinstall swype and see if it will behave now.

My Swype only works when it was installed stock kb removed and a new kb from the market was installed in that order, other ov might not require a kb installed. One of my ov phones doesn't.

theres probably an easier way. check the g2 forums. i think there is an app called swyperestore or soemthing along those lines. basically it imports your swype with your swype license to your new rom from a nandroid.
although...not sure if it would work on the v....

Anyone tried what I do on the g2? I'll try today, moving the lib file swype has and installing swype along with it makes it work on my g2.

My current fix is I used titanium backup to freeze and delete the android keyboard.when I reset the phone if swype still isn't working I freeze and unfreeze swype in titanium and it's worked every time.I'm working on changing how android associates with the keyboard to see if it's maybe still trying to use droid keys

installed swype beta. worked. rebooted blue box error. used a root uninstaller app to uninstall android keyboard. rebooted and it worked

Congrats, glad the how-to helped. Would be rough typing on this tiny keyboard without Swype or other similar program.

Anybody find themselves pressing the . instead of the space far too often? It gets kind of annoying, at least in portrait view. Also, "at" being constantly mistaken for "arty" seems kind of ridiculous. Despite that, I love swype, and this is coming from a physical qwerty junkie!

Awesome, thank you. No issues with your OP.

How do you remove the GB KB?
My swype beta didn't work, so I junked it. Now after reading this, my only question is what app or how do I remove the Gingerbread keyboard? (I don't see it as an app, is there an app that will remove it?)
Thx.

Use titanium backup.

Wildfire S keyboard

Hello,
I dont know wildfire s other users noticed or not i have facing keyboard issue.. I mean to say keyboard is not fast like other mobiles when i try to type fast it miss some words.. I tried smart keyboard, slide it, swip keyboard, better keyboard, gokeyboard and others all has same issue is there any solution?

I've been through quite a few too but found there are only two good/working well enough ones.
1. Swype
2. The normal keyboard on 'Mobile' mode with T9 feature switched on.

It's not on market because it hasn't been released to the public.To get Swype - it's still in beta but works perfectly. You need to sign up to download it - start here: http://beta.swype.com/android/create/
Swype however isnt a normal keyboard loll, you have to slide your finger/thumb across the letters to create a word and release your finger from the screen to make a space. It's amazingly cool.
If you're looking for a normal fast keyboard Swiftkey X is excellent, and you can find that on the market.

Very similar: SlideIt, pretty cheap and easy to switch between languages, can be tried out! Very fast for me.

Shall have a look

hi thanks i downloaded android keyboard from market its cool fast and smoth also free

Question about swype and gingerbread keyboard

I am tying to use gingerbread keyboard but it keeps switching back to swype .... Should i just use the samsung keyboard and wait for the update? Or is there a way to make it stop switching to swype?

You can go to settings and uncheck swype keyboard if you don't want to use it.

I have done that several times and it keeps going back to Swype ... Its like my phone is forcing me to use swype when im using the gingerbread keyboar.. When i keep on the samsung keyboard, it seems to stay on that . And it doesnt switch back to swype... But i dont want to use the samsung keyboard, it sucks!!

If you are rooted, freeze Swipe in Titanium Backup or some other utility. You could also uninstall it (still need root).
If you are not rooted, search the Market for another keyboard and install it and use it. SwiftKey is great (imo).
This is why many root their phones.

Thank you so much!! Forgot that i have the ability to Freeze apps now that i have rooted my s2.... i love this forum! Very active and helpful ...better than any other android forum website.

So i uninstalled Swype ... Nowni am trying to use gingerbread keyboard , but keeps switching back to Samsung keyboard.... Seems like my phone keeps rejecting gingerbread kb ... Is this a app issue?

Not sure if it is, but you could also freeze the Samsung keyboard to stop it. Just make sure you have at least one keyboard installed.
I don't know if you have tried it, but, the Swipe Beta has Dragon speech recognition build in. I am using it and I hardly ever have to correct it. It is really good. If you want to try it search the internet for Swipe Beta. You will have to register with them but it really worth it.
Also, as mentioned in my last post, Swift Key is really good. It uses the email and texts in your phone to help its prediction process turning the typing process into only a few taps per message. Definitely worth a try.

Problem solved .. thank u .. close thread

Youre clearing tasks... so that kills the gb keyboars. So it goes to smasung keypad

Swype Beta

Hi,
I have installed Swype Beta on my One X and it runs well to start but then if you restart or sometimes it just changes to half the screen width.
Anyone else had this problem?
Does anyone have a modified APK like the Galaxy Note that sets the correct screen size?

yes, i've got the same issue , and if i'm going back to stock keyboard and then to swype again it's normal.

I got the same issue...
Also downloading the Danish layout took forever!!

If you put the phone in portrait orientation, it fixes.

Mine does the same too. Just switch between HTC Keyboard and back to Swype and it usually fixes it.

Yup, I've the same issue too. Quite annoying to keep changing every time it happens.

Same here - A restart or switching keyboards fixes it.

I've found that HTC's inbuilt Swype equivalent Trace, works just as good as Swype. Plus it means one less process in RAM.
To test it out, activate it: Go to Settings - Language & Keyboard -HTC Sense input - Then turn on trace.

Yep, I'm trying it out after using Swype for over a year. I'm getting on pretty well with it. I miss some Swype features (like double-tap word for suggested alternatives), but I find HTC Trace surprising accurate, perhaps more so than Swype. Plus with the HTC keyboard, the cursor keys are right there on screen (except when the 3-dot menu hides them). Definitely pleasantly surprised with this, I'll keep it for a while before deciding whether to switch back to Swype.

I had the same problem with the latest Swype. I found that an earlier Swype version works great though.
I don't think we're allowed to post links to Swype APKs, but if you Google for DarkSwype v5 you'll find it. Plenty of other colour themes available too - I'm using the ICS-Stock-Swype version. Looks good and works without any resizing problems, so long as you stick to v5.

Cheers to you mate, this indeed in an alternative to Swype. Not as fast, but alternative.
I was using Swype with my DHD for almost a year and with One X that wasn't working anymore due to a tiny keyboard at the bottom left of the screen. Too small to use and very irritating. Suddenly, one realizes u simply can't type anymore letter by letter. It has become ancient, really.
Thanks again.

I get the tiny keyboard bug too but if you rotate the phone into portrait mode and back into landscape, the problem will be fixed.

I too decided to try swype on my one x. Aside from the size bug its OK. Personally i think it would benefit from being a bit taller but thats must my opinon.
I like HTCs Trace keyboard however i wish it would do what Swift key does and put a space after a full stop automatically.
I dont like having to manually press space sometimes to get it to put a space in...
Swype like input with swift key's features would be AMAZING!

Thanks a bunch for pointing this out. I was really missing Swype from my prior Samsung phones.

Solution for all suported languages!
I have found the way to run swype beta with languages that I need for our resolution.
1. Download official swype installer from beta.swype.com
2. When installed, run it and download a new beta version of swype
3. Go to Settings/Language and keyboards and in swype settings download languages that you need (in my case Serbian and Romanian)
4. When languages are downloaded and installed, download from web this modded version swype-3.2.6-gn-land-320.apk
5.Install it and when system asks to replace application, answer with yes
6. Go to Settings/Language and keyboards and set swype as default input method
First time when you try to use it it might say that loading of some LanguageLA file failed, but it works and it doesn't appear anymore

Worked like charm. Thanks for adding the apk.
Sent from my HTC One X on Leedroid's ROM v5.0.0.

Thanks for the APK however when i tried to install it I had to uninstall the previous version of swype I'd got due to a signature mismatch and now with this new one installed I can't download any language packs so I'm going to have to revert to unmodified one sadly.

You know you don't have to press the full stop button you can just press the space bar twice. Just like that.
