Go to www.beta.swype.com and register as a beta user. That's all you need to do.

Swype works fine on Gingerbread, its what I use.
If the Swype APK is pulled from another ROM, it might be the wrong version, and not compatible with GB. Easiest way to get Swype is to just sign up at the Swype beta website like the previous response stated. Then it will send the installer to your phone, which will install Swype, and you will be good to go.

Tanks guys worked great although it took a while for the email to come

HTC keyboard for Samsung GS

This is a request does anyone know how to get htc keyboard, done a search but did not find. Help would be appreciated.
Install apktor from the market. Search Google for repositories for it. Some of them have apps that are not allowed on the market such as the HTC keyboard which is obviously copyrighted.
Can I just say that it is by far the best keyboard out there.

Swype is miles ahead of any keyboards I have ever used, even all the hardware ones (see my sig)
Search on my posts I posted a link to prepare and download custom versions of the HTC keyboard.

just grab and install htc mod (you can find it in nexus section), i did this and it works great
Thanks guys for your help, I'm so used to the desire keyboard and the auto correction and suggestion which IMHO is easier to use and more accurate. I sold my black desire which I enjoyed using and sort of made a rash move by buying samy s. I just can't get over the lagging and the gps issue which was working perfectly on desire. Ow well i'm stuck now got to make most of this.
I wish I could sort out this lagging issue which sometimes drives me mad. I did read about people complaining lagging issue I seriously didn't expect it ot be this bad honestly.
Where can i find in htc section? internet is so slow here in this hotel... someone can help?

Seriously, modaco's lag fix should be stickied on to sgs forums.
Since I went and applied the fix, all my apps open and close amazingly super FAST.
So, stop complaining and DO IT.

Try reinstalling it via the swype installer...
Swype beta
I had the same problem. If you go to swype.com log in and ask for another invitation, Swype will send you a new e-mail & will send you another copy. You will have to delete both the old swype program and the old installer on your phone, then . just reinstall it and it all works again. If you did not register and got swype some other way you may be out of luck for now because beta is closed for now.
mine works fine
I got it to work by reinstalling. I'm a happy camper. Thanks for your help. In my search for a solution I found that they don't have a version for the evo if you weren't part of the beta. Kind of sucks

[Q] Cant Download Skins after 2.3 Update

I jus updated my phone this morning and since then i lost the skins i previously downloaded from HTC Thunderbolt threads... I am able to download the .apks but they dont show up as one of the options to set for my phone. can anyone help me out?
Did u install them after download
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA Premium App
I uninstalled my downloaded skins and reinstalled them but they still won't show up, and to add insult to injury pdaNet is no longer working for me. I'm starting to wish I had rooted instead, now I can only wait until some one puts out a root for DI2 GB. :/
Ya, I've tried reinstalling them and still nothing...

TB themes ARE indeed working. I've been using ADW EX to deal with this issue, but it's back to Sense for me.

[Q] Swype not auto-spacing.

So I am a big user of Swype and really like the version on the Epic Touch, however, I have noticed an issue with auto-spacing and I am not sure if anyone else is having issues. Where I am seeing issues is spacing when I try and type single letters like "i" or "a" when typing a lot. On my older phone with swype this would auto-space and start the word. Is anyone else experiencing this, and does anyone know a fix for it?
Yea, this is a known issue with this swype version. u can try installing the swype beta version or the nexus s 4g swype and those will solve this problem. Im using the nexus s 4g swype atm and its working great, plus looks nice too.

I used TitaniumBackup to manually uninstall the stock Swype. Then went here to sign up for the Swype Beta:
http://beta.swype.com/android/create/
I tried looking for the Nexus S4G Swype version too, but no luck. I'm liking the beta though. Very sleek. Hope this helps.
Yeah I had the beta version on my older Epic, and wasn't sure if I was going to put it on this phone looks like I will.

heres the guide i followed to get the nexus s swype. (the op link for the file on xda is removed but if u look at the sigs for one of the last commenters in that thread you will find the file you are looking for)
Sounds good, thanks everyone! Used System Tuner to uninstall because it was free.

[Q] Anyway to replace Stock Htc Wildfire s Keyboard with Swype.

Is there a way to flash swype into htc wildfire s

I thought Swype came with the wildfire s. To enable it again, go to settings/language and keyboard/Swype/select input method. From there u can get back into Swype.

Swype doesn't come with the WFS. You have to go to their official page and order the beta. It's free, too. And you don't have to do any replacing of any sort, just install the keyboard and go to settings/lang. and keybrd/ and change the input method to Swype (goes for any other custom keyboard as well).
It will crash as system app. Leave it in /data/app

Seriously? On a WFS? Must be a carrier thing... I used Swype for a while, but I had to actually install it
Anywho, it started to crash, or not work at all at a certain point, so I uninstalled it.
Swype
I'm on a stock 2.3.5 Europe ROM and it is not there from what I can see. Just double checked by holding down the google search box for the input method prompt and nothing happens. I tried installing a Swype APK but starts to crash as soon as I enable it. I would't mind having it though, i got used to it...
You have to delete the stock swype and sign up for there beta

Did it come preinstalled on your Wildfire S or the phone you obviously seem to be texting from which would be a Desire HD?
Although I did quite some research myself I haven't found a way to integrate swype in the wildfire s stock rom yet...
It came pre installed on my MetroPCS wildfire s
