Hey Guys
In case you didn't know, you can still have Swype for our device even if your custom ROM does not support it. I myself prefer Swype because I find it easier to use on our smaller screens. Also there is a MUCH easier way of installing it then hacking the system files to get it to work.
You need to go here http://www.swype.com/category/get-swype/ to get it.
Here is the website http://www.swype.com/ Check it out
There is a very simple registration process but once you have it is AWESOME if you are a Swype fan In fact, I will go so far to say that this is even better then the standard Swype that come with the stock ROM!!! If ever I go back to stock I will be using this for sure, plus you are always up to date with the latest Swype developments if you use this. I am using this on Repencis V3 and it is really cool.
Hope this is helpful to anyone
I use Swype Beta too. My only gripe is the layout. I think the old one's layout was better, especially with the numbers. Btw you don't need to register if you have the apk. Just install and go. Also you can try themes. Just google "da swypes", you'll find it. I use the stock ICS theme because it's darker than default. And no orange.

i agree..this one is better than previous swype
but thanks bro..iam loving this new swype

Hey bro
Yes this is the latest version of Swype. The cool thing is that if you register, you are always up to date with the latest enhancements! Hope you like it

Hey Silvane
I agree about the layout as well, I found the old numbers easier to reach but there is a more polished feel about this one which the old version did not have. I kinda like the default look but I didn't know about the themes. Thanks for the heads up with that
Yw.
Btw you don't need to register to get updates. The keyboard itself does not check for an account before it updates itself. The "installer" is just their way of not directly giving you the apk to the keyboard. For some reason they don't like that lol.

Which version is that?
The only Gingerbread friendly swipe version is the one that is in the Double shot port, but it runs SLOW SLOW SLOW.
Anyone have any ideas as how to fix that?
I can attach the APK and Lib File here is someone wants to check it out.

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.

Please could you post that. I would be forever grateful.
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.

the only place i know where to get swype is from 4shared.apk,im running cm7 on evo,and installed it from there and it works grreat.only thing is,#1-have a file manager.#2-go to settings>applications>check unknown sources>and then>4shared.apk,another thing,you have to sift thru alot of them to find which apk will work.good luck
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

Thanks
No one knows how we can get these lockscreens for non MIUI?
i dont think they would be compatible with any of our roms...Cause its build for the MIUI and CM7 only i think..I think i have asked that before to GC and he said also it would be hard to get them over to us...I might be wrong but thats what i remember..

such a shame, CM7 and MIUI always seem to get the best themes and lockscreens, some of these lockscreens are stunning.
Can some themer or dev not manage to get these to work on non CM7 or MIUI ROM's?
check out the latest version of QQlauncher Pro.(free app). it has a beta locker screen setting which brings default MIUI style lockscreen.pretty decent. you can also switch to other launchers and lockscreen works. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tencent.qqlauncher&feature=search_result

you should try widgetlocker it works very well with the sgs2 you can have miui - iphone or stock android style lockscreens loads of themes for it on this forum and others.
If the miui guts release that on normal android phone they woulda get richz

u can try magiclocker on the market. there are a couple of miui like lockscreen themes available
I asked this request a long time ago mate. I would be willing to pay $100 for someone to successfully have MTZ zips flashable on Samsung based firmware. That way we could have MIUI themes and screens

I'm not sure about the launcher.apk he linked, but for me all I did was install the manager.apk file and then find it in your app drawer "TW4 Manager", open then look under "check for updates & uninstall" then click latest stable version to get the newest one they have for release. Then you have to get to the launcher through the traditional channels (press home soft key, then if you're using a 3rd party launcher it will tell you to clear defaults (found in applications -> manage applications in main settings menu), or if using stock TW I believe it will just open up the typical window when there are multiple programs to complete the command, then click on the one you want)

Yeah, it's not perfect...but ultimately I'm surprised it's as good as it is considering the other options (LP, Go, ADW, etc.) that are probably a team of people doing full-time dev. I switched back to Golauncher EX because it's what I'm comfortable and it just used the screen better...smaller dock icons and better customization. I would love to keep some of the TW features though, and if there comes some nice themes for TW4.5 I'll be back.

Are you using Starburst Rom? If so, you may need to define which app is supposed to be opened with that button. If you are on starburst, go to menu, settings, lockscreen settings (at very bottom), overall ui settings, then click "long press search button app" and choose what you want to happen. Hope that's all that's wrong...I never had any unusual fc's on tw4.5 while I was using it.

Sorry about not responding sooner...been focused on the development threads and completely forgot about my own
I'm using LoStKernel Experimental and it has worked pretty well. I've been without a Loss of service since it's been installed (KNOCK ON WOOD). It's pretty quick and from what I can tell it does allow for overclocking. I'm not sure on this...but my SetCPU app says my phone has been at 1.4 GHz for a good amount of time and it must allow under clocking because it says I've been at 500 GHz for most of the time (that's my "screen off" setting).
Ultimately the under/over clocking would appeal to you for both speed & battery life. Stability might suffer a bit from this kind of thing BUT I haven't experienced any stability issues with the LoStKernel exp....that's not to say you won't because each piece of hardware is different and each persons app load and usage is completely different.
I have used the stock kernel, Zedo's 1.6 OC'd kernel, and most recently the LoStKernel, just for info.
Hope this helps!
PS - I switched to GoLauncher because I couldn't get themes to work either...so, yeah, I would suppose this thread is dead for the time being - but feel free to ask any other questions you might have for me & I'll try to get to 'em sooner. Subscribed now, so I'll notice.

Hi everyone
Since the last update, where they have added Dragon GO as you can see on the print, now the keyboard layout is so big that it doesn't let me see what I'm typing.
So I would really appreciate if someone could tell me where can I get (if it is possible) the preview version of Swype.
Thanks a lot

You can use this guide to get it

Strange, on my phone, after installer a couple of kitkat apps (google services, hangout, camera, keep, search, clock) there is no more "contacts" nor "phone calls" (the dialler) to be seen in my apps panel. Can't call anybody anymore :/
and hangout is always slow as hell to launch and work with (tends to kind of "freeze" on an empty screen page while loading / waiting for god knows what). Was used to this lagggggy UI with hangout, but it can't be so sluggish for SMS.

Try greenify from the play store. Your phone might be running out of memory or over loading the CPU. I don't have a single problem. The hangout app actually works faster than the SMS app for me!
Really weird that the phone and contacts apps disappeared though. Something went wrong somewhere. If you don't want to wipe then you can probably dirty flash your ROM to get them back.

No. It doesn't work yet. It FC's. Something is required somewhere. If we figure out what it is then I or someone will post it for you.
I've gotten all the Kitkat apps on my phone and I have no problems at all. I'm glad to see they finally updated their ugly email app. And the camera rotates a lot faster than before. Google Now is awesome. I had mixed feelings about the new launcher at first but its growing on me. The keyboard seems more responsive too. Also, the hangouts app isnt all that laggy for me. It does take a second to load everything when forst opened but after that, its fine. SMS works great with it in my case. Overall, they are great updates. I can't wait to try out the Kitkat OS.

First of all, I downloaded apps from here:
http://www.droid-life.com/2013/10/3...om-the-nexus-5-dump-search-launcher-and-more/
After you get them on your sdcard, most of them can just be installed like normal apk files.

Thanks. I am curious as you mentioned you have no issues, where others have had several; so I thought you had a particular method. Thanks, I'll check em out.

I dont know why people have been having issues. I'm running Kitkat right now. But when I installed all these apps on Jelly Bean, they were running fine for me.

This is just a thought. But when I installed most of these, I was installing them over system apps or I was moving them to system/app to make them system apps. Maybe that makes a difference.
Anyone using the new Google Keyboard? I found out you can type a whole sentence now with the swipe guesture without raising your finger. The space bar is recognized as a swipe input now. I think the developer(s) of the Swype keyboard did that not that long ago but now its in the stock keyboard. Just thought I'd share.
When you were running on jelly bean, did you had any problems receiving or sending any MMS on hangouts?

That's awesome! TIL
Would it work to add the priv - app folder? Would it be that simple?
