Hi I just flashed a new rom (Infected Inspire4g) and I cant get swype to work. I have tried ripping apks from other roms and the official swype beta with no luck is there anything out there that will work. Please lmk it would be much appreciated.

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

The newest beta has disabled that popup annoyance. Just sign up for the beta and be always in on the most current swype.
The beta wasnt working for me

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.

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
Hey,
Whats the Best keyboard app for SGSII?
What do you guys use for faster typing?
Thanks.
Latest Swype, it's amazing.
Trying the TouchPal V5.1 now, it's amazing too so far, lets see with which one I fix at last.
There were already some threads regarding this too.

5.1? Where did you find it please? It's not on market and maybe I've missed some twit from cootek. It's my main keyboard for month!
I prefer the standard Gingerbread keyboard. You can download it from the Android Market. Once you use it for a good period of time, you get used to it.

SwiftKey X is excellent! Definitely worth the money. Go and download the one month trial.
ive tried a lot of them but keep going back to the htc mod someone made for it. Still the best one in my opinion

I would be interested in new keyboard .. but I don't want any prediction. I want nice layout portrait and landscape, perfect reaction time. Customizable layout would be sweet, as so far, nothing really fits my needs.
Edit: looks like Smart Keyboard is going to cut it for me ! Lots of customization .. and some neat Czech options ..
Swiftkey X. My typing is TERRIBLE but it has fantastic auto-correction, so now I never have to worry about typos.

+1 for SwiftKey X
and also this is what I like about this keyboard:
- great prediction and auto completion,
- simultaneous use of different languages so don't have to remember to change language like in swype
- It can even predict little town names (at least in UK) and start them with capital letters.
- when you want to come back to previous words, you can still use dictionary, it doesn't treat them as a bunch of single letters but as a word.
It was my best buy from the market.

Well... That's very nice. I'll have to give that keyboard a try.
Edit: Predictions are excellent, I've got to say. Very nice keyboard.
And having two languages at the same time is killer
I'm using Swype. Couldn't stand Swiftkey because it kept predicting the wrong words for me.
That said, I do love the latest Swype with prediction.
Swiftkey
Its by far the best, and gets better the longer you use it.

The latest beta 3.26 is the best one yet. Get's my vote by far, and I've bought other keyboards. Excellent multi-language support and editable dictionary, gestures, etc. It's getting to be amazing.
nothing beats gingerbread keybard or latest swype is good

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.

It looks like a leaked video featuring a new feature called "Flow through space". This Let's you flow through the space bar to split up words instead of lifting your finger.

I saw an interview that said that it would be available for GB and newer.
Non way I am Froyo (Í curse you, LG Optimus Chic!)! Was I waiting for nothing? I hope you are wrong, this new really made me feel bad
Finally here! Swifykey Flow - swype style typing with much better prediction, more function, beauty and intuition.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/jy192v5qrj7hqfg/com.touchtype.swiftkey.phone.flow.obeta_4.0.0.54.apk
Enjoy!
I love the fact that you can swype entire sentences now.. you just have to swype down to the space bar in order to go to the next word. VERY cool. The only gripe I have at the moment is the animation for typing single letters at a time. It doesn't really show the entire pop up animation, and when it does it's a little quirky. The whole point of flow is the gestures, so not really a big deal!
Yeah, it's got a few quirks. I also found it will only allow tap typing in certain fields. So far I'm loving it.
I try everything passible and can't get to pass downloading linguage (english US). Any idea?
Edit: never mind.. i uninstall and reinstall app and everything is good..
Seems pretty good so far. I've been using Swype for years, as long as I've had Android phones. Recently tried Swiftkey because I was curious about the next-word prediction, but I couldn't NOT be able to swype. So this is the best of both worlds.
Just waiting for them to enable it in all fields (hopefully) and also hope they improve the editing of predicted words (click anywhere in a word to get other options, more than 2 alternatives would be nice as well).
Been waiting for this for a while now. Using it to type this right now! I love swype and SwiftKey and I'm hoping this is the best of both worlds. It's definitely not prefect yet, they need to work out how to edit the predictions instead just predicting the next right away. But I guess that's kind of the best part of SwiftKey so they need to figure that out!
Thanks alot fit for posting this though!

Hello, i just flashed several roms in my Ace II because of the gesture keyboard not working.
I have made my searches, and found zero answer related to this, it seems no one is using gesture keyboard....
Now, on such small screen, having the gesture hability for writing saves a lot of time for me, and i think that anyone who would give it a try will keep it as primary way of writing.
The only rom in wich is working fine is in Slimrom 8.1 but i have found other complains for this one that are more important than the keyboard at the moment.
Is there any workaround?

I've been using it on the stock 4.1.2 ROM in this same phone and in 4.0.4 on Optimus 2x.
At store, there's no available google keyboard, already made the search.
BTW:
PAC rom has not working gesture keyboard, and is 4.2.2.
TeamCanjica, also is 4.2.2 and it has it not working either.
Rootbox, also is 4.2.2 and is not working.
On the contrary, SlimRom is 4.2.2 and it has it working.
I'm no expert but shouldn't this be in the "general" section? o.0
Google Keyboard (same as AOSP from 4.2.2) has gesture typing, SwiftKey has gesture typing and Swype has gesture typing. If one of those doesn't work you might wanna contact the app support directly. All I know is Google Keyboard and SwiftKey work perfect on stock and Cyanogenmod.
Google Keyboard is available for the Ace II. In fact I think it's compatible with ALL devices so I don't know why you're not finding it. I'd be certain it's likely to be something on your end.

It seems to be working, but only makes the trace and nothing is written.
Swiftkey and swype have their own drawbacks, both are really c..p finding and predicting words in anything than english, and i need it working fine in Spanish, there google keyboard is unbeatable.
Also, those both apps are paid, google is not only free, IT WORKS.

Nothing wrong in MY end, i've made the search inside the phone and directly with my computer browsing/searching play store, and it does not appear AT ALL.
I also checked some days ago with the Optimus 2x because i dislike the keyboard that came with a custom rom, nothing appeared... And also, both phones use different google account. (just in case)
So.. It seems that the keyboard may be been removed or is only available for older versions wich need update.
EDIT: Sorry... Sometimes you need to kill someone... I'll kill google...
Well, Google keyboard will NEVER appear for spanish... "Teclado de Google" does...
Really sorry... sometimes takes me some time stop thinking on english.
Anyway, it says is not compatible with ANY of my devices.... : wallbash:
