Here is a link to the android 4.2 keyboard. It has gesture typing/ swype capabilities. According to DroidLife they think it's an earlier build than what was shown off by Google the other day. It's not quite as polished but nonetheless it's pretty neat. I like the aosp keyboard layout better than the swype layout, but I love the swype capabilities so this keyboard is awesome. Give it a try.
All thanks to DroidLife for putting this up for grabs! and of course Google for developing it!

Thanks, it works great! Swype has some competition

I haven't tried the zip, but you should be able to do it either way. The problem mentioned on the site has to do with whether the ROM you are running has the stock android keyboard as an option. If it does you just need to clear data for the the stock keyboard and delete it from /system/app before installing the new 4.2 keyboard in /system/app.
edit:^^^What he said. For our phone just installing it like a normal 3rd party app will work.
Now here's the thing I've never done anything with apk files so can someone walk me through how exactly to do it? Would be very much appreciated.

Ignore most of that. I made it more complicated than necessary. It pertains mostly to nexus devices (might be necessary on some AOSP based ROMs). If you really want a better explanation, I was getting that info. from android police.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...d-4-2-keyboard-with-gesture-typing-right-now/
What Mattix said is right. Just download the apk, make sure installing 3rd party apps is allowed, and then just click on the file and then click install.
Best keyboard ever. no joke

Agreed. I love not needing to do the loop for a double letter combination like in swype. It just knows.
Well do I just put it on my sd card, and then go to the file explorer? Or?

You can download it on your phone/ transfer it from your computer to wherever you want it saved. Then yes you can use a file explorer to find it, tap on it, and install it. Although, if you download it directly to your phone you can click on it from the notification bar.

AmI the only one havinga problem with swype? Notice how it doesn't always space between words? And it isn't as accurate asI am used to. Swype was way better on the epic whichI don't understand. What have they done.

Go to settings and tweak the options a little bit. they're a little different than the usual swype.

Swype Bug
It looks like there is an issue with automatic spacing in between and word and a single letter word. So every time you type something like "hey I" it ends up "heyi"
Is everyone seeing this problem? Anyone have a way to fix this?
I would like to install the Swype beta i was using on my CM Evo 4G but I am guessing there is no way to do that until i can uninstall the factory Swype?
I tried it but my system app folder only has 14 megs if space and the file is 30 megs. So, anyone know how to change the size of the folder?

Not that I know of, I don't think its possible. You'll have to delete some stuff to make room. Things like the wallpaper APK's if you don't use. The touchwiz social things, stock widgets etc. There is plenty you can remove that you probably never use.

i kind of have to agree. its pretty much the same as voice commands already except there is a voice that talks back. however, the talking voice only works on occassions for me on top of it FC and/or lagging. and i've tried every install method possible, it just doesnt seem to like my phone. plus i've noticed it drains the heck out of my battery.

It was wise marketing/defensive move by Samsung. Now a sales person can say if you only want an iPhone because of SIRI you can check out the galaxy s3 as it has more extensive voice commands over other Android phones.
