I just received my Jelly Bean update and I am thrilled. The phone is faster and much smoother, Love it. I also noticed the update came with Swype keyboard and the stock Samsung keyboard received a swype update as well.
I had previously downloaded the swype downloader app before I had received the update, did the Swype update come with the Jelly Bean update? I am not talking about the swype update that the Samsung keyboard had received but a seperate Swype Keyboard.
So I have two Swype keyboards, one that was updated from the Samsung keyboard and the seperate Swype keyboard. I'm confused just reading back to myself what I just wrote, I hope anyone who reads this can understand it.
Love that Jelly Bean with plenty of Butter.

Yea, you get Swype with the ota jelly bean update

Thanks for the imfo. The stock Samsung keyboard also has swype built into it, never used it because I always used my paid Swiftkey keyboard. Thought I would do some experimenting and was amazed to find that the stock Samsung keyboard also had swype built into it. It works pretty good as well.
Thanks again,

The Samsung keyboard has something similar to Swype functionality, but trust me, it's no Swype. Swype is just better since it's been out for like 4-5 years? More time to work out the kinks and have better interactions. Except it doesn't scan my contacts name as well as it use to... eh that's probably why it is beta.
Fix one thing break another.

The ICS keyboard is sweet looking I can agree with that. I have big hands too I think that's why Swype helps me out, plus you can theme it to look like the ICS keyboard or the Stock keyboard

Swype beta!

The Hacker's Keyboard especially useful if you use ConnectBot for SSH access. Yes it has working Tab/Ctrl/Esc keys and arrow keys.
Dont forget the dictionaries, they are free too.
I use the stock android keyboard most of the time, or thumb keyboard when I want to switch it up. I can put TONS of skins on thumb keyboard, so it keeps it interesting.

I just bought 3 of these SGS 2's from T-Mobile the other day, and really like the Juggernaut ROM the best so far.
After installing it on my wifes phone she wants Swype back, but I cannot get it to work. I copied the apk from the backup, and installed it which worked fine, but it force closes anytime I try and use it.
Any help is appreciated.
Go to the Swype website and join the beta program. They will email you an installer app you use to install Swype and update it when a new beta version is released.
The beta sucks... Do you know how to get the original back?

Wait you serious?
The official sucks lol. The layout of the keyboard is horrible.
The beta is 100 times better
Original swype download links are posted here.
Good Luck..
I had the same question when I flashed Juggernaut V4.1 and this thread helped me.
I signed up for the swype beta on thier website and installed it very easily to my device. It works as good if not better than the one that orginally came on this device.
The only 2 differences that I even notice are the swype trace color ( anyone know how to change this color?) and the layout of the numbers when you cange the keyboard over to symbols ( which are more like a keyboard and less like a phone dialer).
Does anyone know how to change those two features?
The only way would be the beta. The new Dragon speech engine is great and really accurate.

Swipe style typing is horrible & predictive text is poor to say the least. Anyone have better experience ?
Second that. It is complete crap. Realized that pretty quickly. Installed Swype beta the day after I got the phone and haven't looked back.
Just did the same....night and day

Definately a giant fail for Sammy, the kb blows. I've been using Swift 3 and loving it. I tried stock as well but couldn't deal with it for more than 1 week.
I agree the default keyboard is horrible. I've been using SwiftKey 3 and it's great, I highly recommend it.
Definitely agree, probably the worst keyboard ever.

SwiftKey 3. Get it
The only, albeit strange, reasons that keep me using the samsung keyboard over swype is the haptic feedback and the typing sounds. The haptic feel of the swype keyboard doesn't feel as precise as the sammy one no matter what i set the length to. And don't get me started on the irritating key press sound...
Jelly Bean keyboard port FTW!
Jelly Bean keyboard is the best keyboard I've ever used, Swiftkey and Swype included.

I use SwiftKey 3.01. Customizable in skins, portrait/landscape keyboard height, typing style, and keyboard layout. It also supports the use of up to three languages and their keyboards/dictionaries at once, learns from Facebook/Twitter/Gmail/RSS/Reader/SMS messages, and it is scarily accurate in predictions.

I gave up on Swype when Dragon took over the speech recognition instead of passing it to Google (which is loads better than any other dictation.) I tried SwiftKey for a long time to give the prediction time to learn about my style but I never ended up liking it as much as Swype. Then I tried the stock ICS keyboard and was very impressed. I could type super fast (faster than I could Swype) without paying close attention with great results and the post-typing word correction tools worked really well for when my typing was so bad that the keyboard couldn't figure me out. The JB keyboard continues to improve the stock ICS keyboard experience.
Since the upgrade to 4.2 I am having problems using Swype. It gets blocked when I switch it from default keyboard to swype one. I want to use it because swype support the languages that i need.
Has anyone the same problems and it's there a fix?
Thanks

I had to restore from a nandroid backup using Titanium backup. Every time I unlock the device I get a force close message or 2, but Swype functions normally thereafter. Tried to install using the install app provided for the beta program and nothing was available to install. I don't think they have caught up to 4.2 quite yet.

I wish i could port swype dictionary to the default 4.2 android keyboard....
When i try to reinstall it, the app installer doesn't let me choose a version also.
I believe that's a known issue. Hopefully Swype releases a fix for it soon.

Swype kept freezing my jelly bean rom so i switched to SwiftKey Flow beta and i'd argue that it's better than swype, stock was an absolute nightmare.. Just not as much detail put into it as swype and SwiftKey.

I just recently went from stock android 4.1 on my Galaxy Nexus to CyanogenMod 10 with android 4.2.1. I was using Swiftkey Flow before and now and the only difference I had was the color that shows up when you swype letters, it barely shows up on screen now.
Swype bumped the beta to 1.4 and seems to work quite well with 4.2.1. Adding to the custom dictionary is now functional too.

Between the pain-in-the-arse multistep install process and the glitches in the Swype beta, I've switched over to the stock 4.2 keyboard. I also tried Swiftkey 3. Uninstalled Swype a couple of months back and never regretted it. It's just too hard to setup and it refuses to work without a lot of tweaking.

Swype had a lot of problems with 4.2.1 roms, but they have already released new version 3 days ago and it works fine for me now.just check their web.

After upgrading from stock FL24 to stock GB27, and doing a full wipe, the Epic 4G Touch seems to have settled down, and is turning in solid, reliable performance. Sure, the battery usage seems to be slightly higher, but the performance gains seem to outweigh this very modest hit.
However, one thing in the new build is getting under my skin: I hate the new Swype. I hate the beta Swype. Is there any way to get the version of Swype that was on the ICS builds of this phone? In particular, long-press delete no longer deletes whole words, and adding words to dictionary is a total crapshoot.
Anybody know if the old Swype apk is compatible with Jelly Bean? Should I bother trying to isolate and repack, from an old ROM? I'd like to stay in unrooted stock, if possible (for superstitious stability reasons).
Cheers,

You should test drive Touch Pal from play store, I was using this before jelly bean on gingerbread.
I still use it but I'm taking a liking to the the Samsung keyboard that comes with jelly bean.
The pridect text on Touch Pal is spot on and quick with a good variety of words to follow up.

I'll take a look, but I've found that none of the Swype-like keyboards out there are as accurate as Swype itself, including the new Jelly Bean keyboard and Swiftkey.
I suspect that the stock Samsung keyboard is just Swype dressed up; it's too bad I don't like that dressing.
Anybody know about the ICS Swype? If not, I'll just download the FL24 stock ROM and start messing with APKs.
I was using swype until I came across Touch Pal, that's when I converted over to TP.

Latest Swype that came with the last update. Sorry, not from the Swype website. I'm currently using version 1.3.8.10895, which is included in the new source updates. If you don't have it, and want it simply download one of the new source builds and pull the apk . Works like a dream!

That would be nice (long press delete) on the Samsung keyboard. I like that its light on the os, wifey likes it better than TP.

Just wanted to post an update:
The latest version of Swype, 1.5, available from the Play Store for $1 has fixed the delete button and add word to dictionary behaviors. Long press delete now deletes whole word.
Well worth the $1, IMO.
