Just trying out the new keyboard and swype feature. Does it support multi finger swype? sort of like keymonk.
It seems to support it to some degree, but it's sketchy at best. Just curious what everyone else is experiencing.

not sure about the two finger swype but regular swiping is working much better for me than the latest official swype beta...

Interesting. I haven't used it long enough to compare it to swype. I stopped using swype though because I eventually got frustrated with it. Good to hear you find it better!
I'll keep playing with it.

Is there any way to turn this feature on, on any other keyboard than the US one? Im from Finland and id be very happy to be able to try this feature.
Not to sure to be honest. I guess Google isn't supporting other languages with their swype feature yet?

I'm using the swipe feature now, I love it. I could never get in to Swype, but I got into the feature with the 4.2 keyboard straight away

Is almost perfect, to not say perfect, because sure Google improves it more.
This is being written with the "swype" feature in my Galaxy Nexus. Too fast, and can be used with another languages. The system detects the route and compares it with the dictionary. Almost always it detect the right word. Sometimes (very few!) it detects another word, so click in the corrector and add the correct. If you enter some word with orthographic errors, it detects it and is introduced and corrected perfectly, like if you are using the normal keyboard. Is good also with punctuation and spaces.
Using it in vertical position and perfect, always I wrote in vertical in old keyboard I have lots of errors because my big fingers. Since I have installed Android 4.2, I don't needed to use the landscape mode, so I'm happy to see how I can write now at the speed of thunder and chat without getting angry
Thanks Google!

If the new keyboard keeps people from getting angry when they chat - it should be mandatory for XDA posters.
Frankly I hate it. It makes no sense in my mind to drag my finger over letter that I don't need for a word, yet through which I have to go in order to get to the next letter I need... I'd much rather type normally
I've got last update for my Galaxy Nexus and now I'm on 4.2, i cant find anywhere Swype keyboard ..its on English (U.S.A) keyboard
Why?
It's just called android keyboard, that now allows swiping. Swype is a third party keyboard you really don't need anymore.

I'm way faster on Swype. I hate trying to hit each key perfectly and and/or moving my hand to enter the suggested. But to each his own.
I have to try this new swipe since people seem to like it.

Did they add in any variety of custom dictionary sync? That's one thing I really like about the version of Swype I have now. I no longer need to re-teach the keyboard all the technical jargon every time I get a new device.
i got some issue with the newz android keyboard, sometimes the word are show twice
The personal dictionary allows you to add words directly (Skype doesn't), but I don't think it works. I added a few email addresses and typing the first 2-3 letters don't bring up the address. Swype had problems with words beginning with a number, so does android. I find android just as accurate. I like having a "." on the numeric keyboard that's not on Swype.

I like it...
never used Swype before because it seemed a bit counter-intuitive, but really like it on the nexus 7 (possibly because typing is a pain normally)
I can see why some people will hate it, mind - some people hate predictive text for similar reasons.
I spent some time with swipe. It's pretty accurate but just feels clunky in places. What I really missed though was the shortcuts that Swype has like swiping from the Swype key to the 5 key to bring up a number pad and swiping from the Swype key to the shift key to change case. And I don't like having to change keyboards to enter numbers. I like the convention of a long hold to get numbers and common punctuation like in Swype.

My version of Swype has a '.' on the numberpad. Are you actually referring to the number pad (accessed by swyping from the Swype key to the #5 or long pressing on the "123" key) or the symbol/number keyboard accessed by quick pressing on the "123" key?
Swype also lets you add to the dictionary--it just does it whenever you key in a new word, as opposed to having you specifically go through the hassle of adding words to the dictionary. That's why I was impressed with the versions of Swype that sync online--so I don't need to re-teach it words I've already taught it on other devices.

Ahhh forgot about the actual numpad. I always found it easier to press the 123 key, and don't think there's a "." there.
The android keypad lets you add words as you're typing too, I just find the "+" in the dictionary more convenient (at least on initial set-up). I also like the nicknames you can add to the personal dictionary, for "words" that Swype doesn't recognize (or suggest)... Like I have "[email protected]" as an email, if it's in Swype dictionary it won't come up as a suggestion, but in android, set a nickname like "mrk" or anything you want, and the suggestion will pop up.
I have nothing against Swype, used it for a year, I just find "little" things about android I like better. I don't type a lot, so may not know all the secrets to Swype (or Android). I do like the new Swype theme options!

Here is a copy of Minuum Keyboard (Beta) for Android...it is a completely and totally free app in Beta stage right now...Enjoy....
www.minuum.com for all the info you need about the keyboard and screenshots/videos of it in action
Let me know if Google drive link is not working I tried to fix the sharing settings
Thanks.
Had to download using laptop since dropbox links don't seem to work on my phone.
I've gotten so use to gesture typing that this method seems a little backwards.
It does have potential, hopefully the full version is more fluid like.
Hope swiping words if supported, since I like how compact the keyboard layout is.
Entering the word "gesture" was not registering at all until I manually typed it by holding the right letters.
Also having to apply space after each word shouldn't be needed, the delay after I type each word should be enough to justify its a new word.
good job..
gonna try it
:good:
This is amazing! i was waiting for this!

This Beta is not yet public.
This is intended for typing Latvian diacritic symbols using a remapped mic key (google voice search) as the modifier key (you have to hold it down while pressing the letter).
Please make a backup of the respective files in your system, as I take no responsibility if you mess something up.
This is meant only for the physical keyboard of Samsung Captivate Glide i927, for the virtual/soft keyboard I suggest you use Google Keyboard.
THIS WORKS ONLY ON STOCK ROM (tested with ICS)
Heres the drill:
1. Root your phone - this varies for each device, you can find how-to on this forum. If you already have, skip to step 2
2. Install a root file browser on your Captivate Glide
3. Go to system/usr/ and backup the two files:
keychars/STMPE_keypad.kcm
keylayout/STMPE_keypad.kl
4. Replace the files you backed up with the ones I've provided in the attachment
5. Restart your phone for changes to take the effect
6. To get latvian diacritics - hold down the mic on your physical keyboard and hit the desired letter (i.e. 'e' would transform into 'ē').
Thats it!
Also greetings to my fellow latvians!

Cool ! Glad to have another dev working on the i927
Congrats
Thank you!
I'm not really skilled in java though, just starting to explore it.
Since I'm a web developer and have had some minor interactions with C (and Objective-C) languages before, everything seems quite familiar yet not really
Eclipse ide is sort of a mess on mac/windows in comparison to, say, xcode.
But I appreciate the idea of an open platform and community working to create great tools for
everyday life so much, that looks of an ide are not exactly a primary concern. I am however very ocd
about gui of apps (coming from a design background).
I think it's one of the better QWERTY phones out there for the price.
That said, I'd move on from it for that Ara (Phoneblocks) I'm so excited about,
but that's still very early in development, so I chose this one for the next few years.
Here is what I have found so far:
SwiftKey works well except when trying to enter a decmal it will always add a space after it which mess up the formula.
Swype, doesn't have the nessicary characters as easily available for the typical spreadsheet formulas
These are the only 2 keyboard I have tried out. Anyone find any keyboard that work really well with spreadsheets?
Just plain numbers the Samsung keyboard. Otherwise I use SlideIT. I also have Swift Key.

Hoping somebody can help me. I installed the update from Verizon this morning updating my version of Android and security software. Once my phone booted back up and I long press in any text area all I have is the option of paste now. If I hit the three dots next to it it has an option of autofill. I no longer have the option of clipboard which I used frequently.
I have searched all over and did a keyword search and settings and I do not see any option of bringing it back. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there any way for me to resolve this? I have tried multiple phone reboots and have tried text box long-pressing in multiple apps including Google search and if it's all the same for the context menu. Hoping someone could help. Thank you!
I'm on AT&T, but have an unlocked model. I have not experienced this. I wonder if switching keyboards (Google/Samsung) might jolt it back?
Worst case, back-up what you can and use Odin to do a clean install of 12.
I'm on Verizon using unlocked ZF3. Have the update and have been using the clipboard fine.
You think after the next update I may get fixed?
Same thing happened on my T-mobile phone after the update the other day, and I use the clipboard daily for pasting multiple things and also to delete sensitive copied things! I Googled it and there's a Reddit thread where it happened to tons of people with different phones after upgrading to Android 12, so it isn't just the Fold 3. Some people have it when using the Samsung Keyboard, but I don't use that (I use SwiftKey and have for many, many years), and some people still don't have it with that keyboard. SwiftKey does have its own clipboard, so I thought I'd have to change to using that, BUT someone left a better tip: use the Edge Panel Clipboard and you can see everything you clipped, drag one to where you want to paste it, hit Copy to use the long-press Paste in the text box, and long-press the copied item to delete or pin it to the clipboard. I tried it and it is a good solution, but hopefully they will fix the long-press to include the Clipboard option again so we can choose exactly where in the text to paste it!
having the same issue after upgrading s10+ from android 10 to 12, no more acces to the clipboard when using swiftkey (I have tried older versions al the way down to 6.3.6 ... no sollution)
a cheap trick from samsung to steal swiftkey users back ???
any sollution ?
and no, I am not interested in gboard or other alternatives, I really want to continue with swiftkey (which I have been using satisfyingly for many years ... EAT THAT samsung)

SwiftKey has its own clipboard if you set it up (and can copy things from your Windows computer to your SwiftKey phone keyboard apparently), but I don't use it even though I've been using SwiftKey for many, many years. I like the clipboard Edge Panel solution, although occasionally it will say you can't paste it where you want to drag it to, so you have to tap the Copy button so you can regular paste it instead.
thx Butter
I noticed that solution shortly ago
that is indeed a temporary sollution, it works but it is a bit more cumbersome thab what we were used to ;-)
