[Q] So is there progress for swype on AOSP roms?

Is there progress for Swype on AOSP roms such as CM7 or.. Others? I left Sense-based roms from EViO and while it was very fast, I don't see myself going back. The only thing I miss, however, is swype. Now, I know that XDA is the best damn crew of developers when it comes to 'phone' software. I still haven't seen any threads about it though. Is there progress?

What kind of progress are you looking for? Find an .apk for it, install it and voila! Now you have Swype on your AOSP ROM.

What I am doing: sign up for beta. Then install the beta.
While waiting to be accepted, try this: take swype.apk from system app and libswypecore.so from system lib, and push to the same places on cm7. Worth a shot. Just backup first.

I have ran the beta on both cm 6 and cm 7...Not sure what you are waiting on.

Plus the Beta is more up to date than the copy that is getting shipped with 3.70 roms. It has more features and functionality.

I'm going to quietly post and let this die..
I can't believe I didn't actually try one of the .apks. I thought I heard that swype was only being developed for sense-based roms but thinking about it now I realize how stupid that is. I also thought that swype had some kind of authentication but I don't know where that came from. Wow. I apologise for wasting youse guyses time.

[Q] ...screw froyo

after trying every flavor out there, ive decided to stick with di18.
i am picky, i know, but the stock rom (rooted) is 100% what I like. there is not one thing that doesnt work the way i like it to.... so.... on that note
ive removed all the sprint apps, update.zip and its rooted but i cannot get the darn thing to stop asking me about the update...
<picture> epic with 2.2 and caption "DO NOT WANT!" </picture>

make it stop!

I believe you could just rename or remove the systemUpdater.apk and it would stop checking for updates
.. I think thats the correct name but if its called something else please correct me
Edit: I would just use Titanium and "Freeze" the system updater at first. but i think this is removed on custom roms anyway so shouldn't be a problem to remove it

well, im a big fan of the syndicate rom but it carries over what i dont like
the "google" search is slower than the stock search
the browser seems slower
messages in the "call log" annoy me
cant search in phone app by last name
keyboard seems to "miss" letters
except syndicate, dk and ce based roms just seem slower
if i could build roms i would and remove the carrier iq and add the extra functions when you hold down the power button.
btw, im a guy.... i need to change my sn lol
so, im going to just remove system updater, hope that works

I'm with you,I liked DK28 the best out of all 3 FROYO releases,and I actually had DI18 on all day today just to see what it was like again; And I forgot how damn smooth it was compared to this hacked-up **** we have right now,I know EC05 is young (and I plan on building EC05 still) but I'm making a DK28/EB13/EC05 ROM with no carrier IQ,and most if not all EC05 mods should work,I start on that as soon as I get off work.

What you listed doesn't make sense...
the "google" search is slower than the stock search It is the stock search.
the browser seems slower Fast and checkerboardless in SRF.
messages in the "call log" annoy me Not present in SRF.
cant search in phone app by last name Fair.
keyboard seems to "miss" letters Better than DI18 and user-adjustable in SRF.

I don't think you need to defend SRF kOnane... I think my problem is UV kernels,but I still can't narrow down the static/pops. But this is what I've seen sofar,when fast scrolling (scroll fast,then remove finger fast) no pops,but if I scroll with my finger on the touch screen the entire time,it pops like crazy ; Which makes me think its the touch screen driver,or interference on the bus when using the touch screen...

[Q] Gingerbread keyboard with stock sense

Does anyone know if it's possible to use the Gingerbread keyboard with this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874251
If so, does anyone have a link? I've looked through as much of this forum as I can and my eyes are crossing from finding non-useful info. Thanks guys.

it probably is. here's an untested flashable zip i just whipped up of the stock gb keyboard. it'll install it to the system. install with amon-ra recovery.
btw you should probably flash a custom rom. they have so many advantages over stock.
this won't work with clockworkmod 3.0+. again, i didn't test this, but it should work. i just popped the apk right out of the newest cm7 nightly.
long press on a text box and choose imput method, then android keyboard to use.

Don't feel bad, you're not the only one.

Sorry I didn't reply earlier guys.. Laptop died last night and I didn't feel like plugging it back in haha. But I did try and flash the keyboard with Amon RA and it doesn't show up as an option when long-pressing a text input field. I get Swype and Touch Input. Touch Input is just the regular Sense keyboard and Swype is well....Swype.

Dude, You didnt have to take it down, im sure people will still use it.
the problem with the non GB friendly version is you still get the pop up box, which then is blocked by the GB little word grabber things.
For the most part, it is usable, but the correction box is extremely limited in use.

I have like 5 different keyboards on my phone... and i can barely use any of them. I wish i could get the GB swype working better, but right now it is SOOO slow to just come up that it pisses me off.
Might want to invest in a tracext9 or somethign like that. Its in the market. Supposedly better than swype and has a ton of features. I have the earliest version and since it doesnt have an editable dictionary, i cant stand using it.

Yeah there is so much bs surrounding swype...I think I will check out tracext9.

OP,
There are two files you need to just yank out of the original ROM:
1. Swype.apk
2. libSwypeCore.so
Mount /system/lib as r/w, put libSwypeCore.so in it, then change perms back to r/o
Mount /system/app as r/w, put the Swype.apk in there, install it, then change perms back.
OR, you can just signup at http://beta.swype.com/ then download and install their "Installer" and install Swype from it.
EDIT: Honestly, though, I think this one is better: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nuance.flext9.input
EDIT2: I don't know why others are having problems. I've used Swype on GB (CM7) without any issues at all

What do you mean when you say it isn't working? Does swype FC? Does it not open? Can you type single characters & but not swype a word?
If you can you type single characters & but not swype a word, change your input method to another keyboard and then back to swype. It should work until you reboot.

Nah I am a member and I download the swype installer and it just hangs there at login. I have tried multiple times no luck. I have FlexT9 now its good but not quite swype.

i have the ota zip from when it first came to our evos and that has worked with every rom ive tried thus far gb (cm7, deck, miui, virus 3.0) and froyo.

I'm a big Swype fan and have always used it on my EVO but I got tired of trying to get it to work on my Nook Color and Xoom.
Even though I resisted all of the suggestions to do so, I finally bit the bullet and bought SlideIt keyboard from the market. It's about as good as Swype and it works on everything I've installed it on.

sorry,i didnt mention this before,but 4shared.apk is a website that you can search and download apps straight to your phone.been there many times and have alot of useful apps there for free,and they are all FULL versions,have fun once youre there,they have about 60,000 free full apps by now im sure

i could never choose between the speediness of swype and the accuracy of swift key. Hopefully with this, i wont need to switch between two keyboards anymore

I've been using FlexT9 keyboard for quite awhile. It's like swype with better word prediction. I like it a lot but it's not free. The new SwiftKey Flow won't be free either but it's cool to be able to try a beta

I can't live without SwiftKey. Adding swipe functionality to it will be icing on a cake.

I would say that a more realistic expectation is that the beta will be available in a couple of weeks to a month. That is purely conjecture, but I think that it will be more accurate than a few days.
I am looking forward to checking it out as well. I have been running the Swype Beta for a few days now to get used to the input technique and to have a fresh point of comparison. I will probably flash the 4.2 Keyboard tonight as well for the same reason.
If you sign up for the beta now, you will get an email when it is ready. Also, if the day it is released is like the day SwiftKey 3 Beta was released, the servers will be gridlocked. I got kicked off several times trying to sign up that day, and the VIP member base has basically doubled since then.

Oh my gawd! This is actually happening? I've always said "SwiftKey needs Swype! SwiftKey needs Swype!" and then it would be perfect! Thanks for showing us this. I just got real pumped for release.

The Samsung keyboard that came with the Note 2 is powered by SwiftKey Flow. SwiftKey announced flow within a day of the release of the Note. So that seems like the explanation of timing.
Now to the next part. Someone claimed that the 4.1.2 leak for the S3 (I don't know which carrier) has the same Samsung keyboard. I read that our phone's jelly bean leaks are ports from the S3, so I was curious if it might have it too. Has anyone reading this thread tried the leaks? I might flash a leak this weekend just to find out.

I really hope you are wrong, because if you are right, it means that SwiftKey flow will be available only for ICS or JB =(
And I want that keyboard! XD

Yes, the Samsung keyboard with Swype-like functionality is included in the leak

I'm running the FK09 JB leak on my E4GT. The Samsung keyboard in the Rom with word prediction is pretty good. Only issue i have with it is the keys are too small with a lot if space between them. I still prefer the Flex T9 keyboard with swype function and word prediction. If you want Swift Key with swype, that's basically what Flex is.
I would be surprised if Swift Key flow didn't work on ICS. I've also tried the new Android keyboard with swype on JB 4.2 on my Nexus 7. The word prediction is not very good yet but I'm sure it will get better.

I am sure that SwiftKey will make it compatible with older versions of Android, but it makes sense that Samsung doesn't care to try to.
I am just saying that making it work for any phone on any version of Android is probably why they haven't released it yet. I am looking forward to it as well.

From the video that they posted, it looks like it will operate on top of the same layout as SwiftKey 3. I have tried the Swype beta again recently and it has improved, but I still prefer SwiftKey. I will have to try Flex T9 as well.

Still waiting on the beta code to hit my inbox. Using the 4.2 keyboard without issue so I know swift key flow will be fantastic.

well i just got an email saying i got into beta and that i will receive the install instructions soon via email. so it should be any day now-

Thanks for the post, just signed up for the beta, I signed up for the Swype beta back in the day and it took over a month to get a response, I'm certain that won't be how it is with this one. I'm stuck on keyboards with swiping ability, but I REALLY like this one even tho I have to hen peck it out, so hoping I can have a new keyboard home with this ones new ability.
