For the past few day(or noticed then) that both my function and shift key are not working.When using key test on clockworkmod recovery they are shown as keys 31(function) and 41(shift) respectively. I am running decadences eh17 deodexed and that's about it. I was previously running kevo which ran fine for a week or two until i got some force closes from something that got corupted. if anyone could give me a reason these two both dont work, or if its related to gingerbread, it'd be much appreciated.
thanks

Did you use a basket perhaps that changes hey functions?
*Edit*
Sywpe fail... did you use a market keyboard that changes key functions?

Trying to get the HTC keyboard for my phone cuz let's face it, the android keyboard sucks. I've been following this thread over on the XDA Nexus One thread and have followed it exactly installing both APK's. Each time when i long click and select Touch Input, no keyboard shows up on the screen.
I'm not exactly sure why it won't work since i have installed several other keyboards over the past.
If anyone knows how to get this working, or is experiencing a similar issue please let me know.
Bump
Seriously? Nobody. The android keyboard sucks haha and my swype expired.
lol dude, not clue why it doesnt work, i tried downloading the v20 apk from the N1 forums, it installs but when you switch input methods it doesnt show up so stuck in same boat

working keyboard for android tilt 2
first you have to go to the xdandroid startup icon and make sure the model is on tilt 2 mode, then boot. just like using the regular keyboard. able to use fn key to enter numbers not like when they are all at the top.
Hello,
There is another post with a updated Swype APK that purports to have the Mic added, but all the links that point to the mic version are broken. Does anyone have the APK or a link to it of the latest swype with Mic version? The only one I could find searching is a horribly ugly one with blue and red keys...
Thank you in advance!
BUMP!
How is EVERYONE not interested in this?!
Search......Swype no longer available its now warez....
The Swype developers were being douches. They were pissed about us posting links for free downloads of free software.
There are several other forums that have those links. I won't say who, but google will get you there. Google the latest version number of swype: 2.4.44.10912
I thought Swype had hit all of the Android forums and made them take it down......I'll just have to take my theme work over there
I have the latest version and there is no mic, unfortunately.
I have swype 2.4.44.10912 on my Evo and can confirm there is no mic feature. And since there doesn't seem to be any *quick* way to switch back and forth between Swype and Touch keyboard (like you can on the Epic), I am almost thinking about turning Swype off.
Anyone know of any easy way to switch back and forth without going into the settings?

There is an app that changes keyboards when in different orientations......I don't know if that helps. Forgot the name of it, but it is on xda.

To answer my own question, if you do a long-press in the text box where you want to type, it will give you pop up asking you to select Swype or Touch Input. Works great.
Where the hell is the one with the mic?

No problem downloading/running v 2.4.44.10912 on HTC EVO, Froyo 2.2.
As mentioned, no Mic.
Is there a version w/ Mic for EVO?
I found SlideIT to be ok and it has a mic predictability is between good and great.
Latest Swype Beta update has the Mic built in at last.
Forgive my ignorance:
I just got my wife the epic and the pre loaded version of swype on her phone is slightly newer (1.61.37.8224) and had a mic. Would I be able to extract the apk off her phone and put it on my evo? If so, how would I do it?
Thanks in advance

I don't think the one for the Epic would work with the Evo (the microphone part, at least). There was one that was version 1.56.* that had the mic and worked for the Evo, though. But, the official beta is around version 2.something now.
I tried this with a demo Epic unit I had and it's a no-go. When you rip the apk from the Epic and install it onto the EVO it'll work only in limited mode (no swyping but tap-typing works). Hell, the first time you bring the keyboard up it even goes as far as to say that the version of Swype was designed for a different phone.
sucks. oh well.
thanks for the info, just tryin to get a better swype for us EVO users.
close thread please

CM nightly 175, ive tried a few things but none of them have worked except the multi touch from the droid 2 but the text is mega small
I'd be interested as well. Same thing here... The only one that works is D2 port, with TINY text on regular-sized keys.
What's the fix if swype is in system/app but acts like its not installed? I remember there is a fix, just don't remember the details.

It's the Swype.apk right? You should just have to reboot, or go into terminal and try su and then sync and reboot and let me know if it works for you.

Also the .So lib file helped me with making the flashable.... thanks AproSamurai
No, my problem is, with themed swypes, it'll be there for like a week, then just disapear. Not able to use it, but the apk is still there. Usually, I reflash the stock rom and start over, but I'm tired of doing that.

Oh do you still have the swype installer .apk installed because it might be reinstalling the stock swype?(I don't know if that's how the installer works but anythings possible)..... Im not trying to undermine you but its easy to over look the small stuff lol....
Here's what I do.
Flash stock rom
Deodex it
Flash theme that includes swype
After a bit, the themed swype seems to stop working.
Posted by Mr. Z's Epic 4G.
If you backup the swype that it keeps reverting to and post it here along with the themed swype, I could look at it.... if you swap the assets/keyboards folders it might fix it because it wouldn't have anything to revert back to but that's just theory so far :/
EDIT: Nevermind I completely missed that :/ ugh this is a weird bug....... id still like to see the apk's to try to replicate the issue
Its the swype from Orange Eternity theme.
I might reflash everything, and remove the themed swype for now. It's so weird because it just stops working after a while, and no, reflashing the theme doesn't work.

Im on EH06 at the moment :/ I took the swype app out of the theme and put it in a zip by itself but swype force closed on me the second I booted up after flashing it :/ I wish I knew the fix for ya..... please don't flame me for this but may I suggest you use the sprint swype and theme it for Orange Eternity? Its an awesome update if you haven't tried it yet...
Ok, quick fix.
Either flash one of overstews swypes and then yours or replace his with yours. I've never had one try to reinstall over mine.
Ok, I dont think you get It lol. I dont have a swype trying to install over another. Its the same swype, thats fine one minutes, then gone the next. Its happened with two swypes. Maddoggins simply blue theme had a blue swype that did this, now the one in Orange Eternity is doing it. Is it possible that its the way I'm deodexing the stock rom?
This is what I used to deodex:
