Why not more themed Swypes with themed ROMs? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I've used a lot of themed roms and almost all come with a themed keyboard but not themed sywpe, is it a hassle to do this or is sywpe just not used as much as I think it is?

I know Swype is owned by Nuance now (the Dragon Naturally Speaking people), so that may have something to do with it.

And swype sux

You may not like it but some people, I think that's why its included in a lot of ROMs... What do you personally use if not Swype or the stock keyboard?

Ics keyboard donate or full
Something along those lines
It lets me increase the size of the keyboard on portrait so it doest seem midgetty which is nice
And the xda app is being stupid and not letting up screenies

Swype doesnt get themed because the swype tos is strict. There is a link floating around on here for themed swypes, but the OP requested no inks. Search for swype and you will find it....

Constructively criticizing Swype makes sense but just posting it sucks, isn't really helpful or even the topic of this forum... Any retard can make comments without real thought..
So if Swype is difficult to theme anything like it out there that is more customizable? (theme wise, I just really like to theme my whole phone.)

Swype Keyboard app for the EVO?

I am moving to the EVO on Friday and am a big keyboard guy. Because of SWYPE I can live without one... I was wondering the one touchscreen keyboard I have liked is SWYPE, does anyone know if the SWYPE app we have working on the Moment will work for the EVO?
OR is there a new 2.1 version of the keyboard out yet?
Thanks for any info or links...

Bielinsk,
Do you happen to have a link to the Swype Nexus One version, I've only got the modded version for the Moment, which I believe runs at a lower resolution.... If you happen to have a link so I can download it and have it to install once I get my EVO I would be very grateful.
Thanks
It is somewhere on here. Not to be an ass, but use the forum search, there was an entire thread about swype on the Evo.
Found it, the thread was under Themes and Apps

sorry but Swype has now been deemed "warez" and can no longer be found on the forum. can't post the file, can't post a link to the file, and i dont even think you can post about it or as much as think about it!

so the porting of swype is warez, but hacking the OS to allow free tethering, a service that by the TOS of sprint is to be paid for, is allowed? I can never understand that one...
The Swype developers threw a fit about it and demanded that the links be removed. I had several themed versions of 2.4 that I created.....only for the thread to be killed and my work done in vain.
You can't blame them........we were giving a free app away for free.lol
@blue... Any chance you have a flashable theme for swype? I have swype already and am part of the swype beta... Any change of getting just a theme?
Right now I'm using 1.61 that had been trimmed with english only.. Would love to theme my swype....
Especially if it was an apk it flashable
Thanks!!!

Looking for a better keyboard

The Samsung keyboard is seriously getting on my nerves so I'm looking for keyboard recommendations. Please post what keyboard you use and what you like/dislike about it. Thanks!
gingerbread free keyboard from the market is the best ive found, only thing is the letters dont have symbols like ? ! on them, but I can live with that for free
My new favourite keyboard is Perfect Keyboard! It is exactly as the name implies. Perfect.

Other good keyboards are Thumb keyboard and Smart Keyboard both of which I've used as well.

I'm new to swiftkey x beta and liking it a lot so thanks for the heads up.
But.... the correction and suggestions don't work in the stock email app which is a bit of a bummer. Its sooo much better than the stock samsung keyboard.
Might go ask on the swiftkey web page if no one here has any quick and easy fix.
Edit: Found this is common for after market keyboards on the i9100 email app Have also sent question to swiftkey
Wish there was an easy way to change the keyboard when in an app without going to home screen. On my i8000 running froyo i used to be able to hold the settings button the keyboard and the keyboard choices came up. Any way to access the choise of keybaord easily??????
SlideIT ftw.

+1 on that. It's simple and does what it's supposed to do well. Plus, if you search the I9000 forum, you'll find some nice skins, yes it's free and you can change the skin color!

Smart Keyboard has been my favourite for quite some time now. Plus I like the keyboard being a little longer as I find I hit the '.' so many times on the samsung keyboard and others. Its got a very good intuitive learning dictionary (think you have to turn it on first in settings).
Smart keyboard is great and has a lot of customization to it.
Personally love Swift Key. Can pretty much type a message only using the space bar.

My opinion atm is: Swiftkey X beta > SlideIT > Swype
I personally like Smart Keyboard pro the most. Also the gingerbread keyboard is good but not that good.
I don't know about Skype. I am trying to learn it but somehow it just seems bad..so slow and annoying. Just more practice needed?
+1 for smart keyboard. Tried the different keyboards when I got my nexus one and just felt that the smart keyboard where right for me. It has the feature that makes iPhone keyboard so great that it makes the letters bigger by prediction of what word you are typing "behind the scene"

Please close! [Theme] [Update 12.13.2011] Whisper for Juggernaut {Now a beta release}

MOD PLEASE CLOSE THREAD.. I am not in the mood for bs drama....
Whisper is now in Beta release... v1 has been posted along with new screen shots!
So i just picked up my GS2, and decided to start a theme for Juggernaut... Looking around i really only found ports of other themes, so i thought why not start something new... So, Whisper was born...
What to expect is a nice clean theme... With the general understanding i do not create themes that have your normal look... I like to be different, so this will probably only meet the wants of those with the same sort of outside the box thinking...
I am going to start work on a less lavish... More mainstream theme as it seems thats what most want... I know my themes are very one off... And not for everyone...
Whats been done you ask?
- Accurate battery mod now fully pushed (% showing on a battery rather then romanns tweak)
- Edits made to download/volume bar xmls to blue
- Edits to lock-screen appearance...
- Massive edits to framework and systemui... MUCH more to come as i clean the theme up...
- New menu's all around...
More... Just, not on the tip of my tongue at the moment...
On and on... But really its a good basic start to things... Hence beta v1... Its much more pulled together then Whisper Alpha release
On the block to be done...[/SIZE][/COLOR][/B]
- Continue to touch all framework and systemui images/xmls
- Phone, contacts, mms, widgets... Themes...
Ooooodles of good stuff...
How to get her done...
- Download Whisper Beta v1
- Boot into CWR
- Nandroid
- Flash Whisper
- Reboot
I have also provided the image thats shown on my wallpapar... You need to play with things a little to get it lined up correctly, but as you can see it works out well...
I dunno, thats it really... More to come in the next week... Lots more i hope... PLEASE feel free to provide feedback...​[/CENTER]

You know its always nice to see a new themer come to the forum. You kinda bashed Qasizia for doing ports and said you didnt have much to say. Well i have some things to say about your theme. Try something original instead of using uot. And your icons for your lockscreen were originally done by me. They have been around for awhile in all different colors but i did the original. So before you go claiming to be all original check your facts. But with that being said I have no hard feelings and if I can help in any way let me know.

Bashing him would have been his theme sucked... I never said that... I simply didn't have much to say about it as my themes tend to be one off and outlandish... Thats my personal preference ... I also said it was nice to see him post his own theme ... I wouldn't have said it if it wasnt true...
Nothing in my theme came. from uot.. I compile all my work by hand... everything other then the charging xml that I have had since I was a noob... and only use as a base to compile before i rewrite it for ultra smooth animations... was done by me... Not sure where you get anything uot in my theme... but I can promise you uot had nothing to do with my work... not to mention uot can't do what I did with my coloring or images... but you can go with that... be my guest...
Lets me finish by stating I went so far as to pm the hulk theme dev and offer assistance with anything he needed... I was very nice about it...

ICS Messaging APK!

So I just found this in the market! I know tons of people have been waiting for this!
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mms.ics.ext&rdid=com.mms.ics.ext&rdot=1&pli=1
ICS Messaging App!
Here is the apk for a dev who wants to try and modify to remove the ads and section for ads. It will not decompile correctly with 2.3.x framework so may require 4.0 framework.
http://db.tt/P96sfM9h
I downloaded it and I see no ads or space for the ads ... hmmm ... maybe cause Im using Adaway?
Once we,get it inverted, it will be tits! Thanks!

Yes if your ROM or you have an adfree program you will not see the ads but you WILL see the white space on the main message list above the compose and search icons on the bottom bar. That space should be totally gone or transparent.
Checked it out. I thought it would be a nice addition to Overstews ICS Theme but I prefer the ICS version in the theme. Thanks to all who worked on that amazing theme for all their hard work.

Dam that looks real nice! Is that the one from the thread? How did you get it to decompile correctly or what tools did you use if so. Although that looks like an actual ICS device from the screenshot lol. If you did get it modded please share!
Ok so I got it decompiled with only 1 error but I can't get it to compile correctly. I know where to remove the ads from showing on the list as well as the colors. Hoping I can get it to compile!

Download the MiHome apk, and it essentially gives you the look and feel of MIUI w/o having to install a ROM. I have messed around with it already.. pretty slick :good:
