How Do I download the full version of swype?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
The website...
Unless they've changed anything recently.
Have you checked the themes and apps forum (of xda)?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
you can register to take part in the beta testing, that is the only legitimate way (and when the beta expires, you simply pick up a new one)
Paul is correct just signup for the beta
Anyway I suggest you to try the nuance flext9 . I've always used swype but then I tried the flex, cause I was tired of the many bugs of swype... now I'm totally satisfied! I'll never go back to swype xD

Oh ok. Where can you download that for free?

Sorry we don't support stealing apps around these parts, I'm assuming your asking about Flext9 not swype, directions for which andy has supplied below
Get the beta for free and legal here --> http://beta.swype.com
Just sign up and they will send you the download link.
Does swype not work for anyone else? When I downloaded the beta, it said it was designed for another device. It's just a regular keyboard, I can't drag/swype to type. Is anyone else experiencing this?

After you downloaded swype installer and installed it, he asks you if you want to enable swype... Click on yes and the installer will license swype -> I had the same issue
So I love swype but I have noticed that this won't auto space when typing a one letter word like a or I after a word, leaving you with this> heyI just wondered..... anyone else having this problem?

Yea everyone is having this problem. I uninstalled this Swype and loaded the nexus a 4g Swype and that works fine. Also the beta version fixes this too

shouldn't titanium backup be able to uninstall it?
You don't have to be rooted. Install the nexus swype and it will overwrite it. It will say something like do you want to upgrade a system app and you say yes. Titanium requires root.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
You need to remove /system/app/Swype.apk and /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so to uninstall it. I had issues when I did that though and got force closes once I installed the latest beta.
Ok so how can we stop the fc's?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=786231
worked great
Ya this one letter thing is a pain. Anyone have a link to the working apk file? does it also do the auto punctuation thing too?
Try this:
1) Use titanium back up to remove swype. Inside TB, go to settings/more/clean dalvik. Reboot.
2) Install from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220218
3) Enjoy.
follow the link above..fixes all issues. Use swype installer so no apk needed..
Only down side is the beta is ugly as balls. Ugly enough that I'd rather just hit the space bar until Samsung/Swype puts out a fixed version.
Unless someone wants to theme the beta using the style from the preloaded version. I'll even pull and post the .pngs if someone is willing.

Try the sprint version for epic 4g. It looks very nice. Post #15.
I must be blind or something as I do not see it in the post mentioned. Are you downloading and then pulling the apk?

Affirmative.
So I am a big user of Swype and really like the version on the Epic Touch, however, I have noticed an issue with auto-spacing and I am not sure if anyone else is having issues. Where I am seeing issues is spacing when I try and type single letters like "i" or "a" when typing a lot. On my older phone with swype this would auto-space and start the word. Is anyone else experiencing this, and does anyone know a fix for it?
Yea, this is a known issue with this swype version. u can try installing the swype beta version or the nexus s 4g swype and those will solve this problem. Im using the nexus s 4g swype atm and its working great, plus looks nice too.

I used TitaniumBackup to manually uninstall the stock Swype. Then went here to sign up for the Swype Beta:
http://beta.swype.com/android/create/
I tried looking for the Nexus S4G Swype version too, but no luck. I'm liking the beta though. Very sleek. Hope this helps.
Yeah I had the beta version on my older Epic, and wasn't sure if I was going to put it on this phone looks like I will.

heres the guide i followed to get the nexus s swype. (the op link for the file on xda is removed but if u look at the sigs for one of the last commenters in that thread you will find the file you are looking for)
Sounds good, thanks everyone! Used System Tuner to uninstall because it was free.

FYI the 2.3.6 update fixes this, you can get the update over in the dev section
I nor any of my friends can seem to get the official installer past the "parsing package" error. Was wondering if anyone else had better luck with it.
Thanks
Edit: We have a couple of members who have extracted the apk and posted it here. (check this post)
Despite hundreds of complaints on Swype's side, they refuse to neither rectify nor even acknowledge that there's a real problem. In any case, XDA is here to help you.
As per Swype's licensing, only download said APKs if you are currently in the Swype beta program.
Enjoy
mine worked. I know of a couple friends with the same problem though.
Had that error a few times, changed over to 3G connection and worked fine.
I've tried both connections multiple times and am still getting parsing errors

Ditto. I gotta see what I could do about extracting an APK to just install it directly.

have the same problem u described when i downloaded the installer apk through the email link. so i went back to my prev phone and took the backup from titanium and installed it. take note of the following though:
1. if u restore both the swype installer and swype keyboard, the keyboard would end up being very small. changing orientations didn't seem to help like what others have suggested.
2. the trick is to restore only the installer. login to the installer and let it download the keyboard. you would then have a full working swype keyboard. however, this keyboard doesn't seem to be the latest one. it's slightly different from what I had on my Desire HD just before i changed over to the S3 (the button to toggle language inputs is on 'z' and not at the bottom row). the version numbers are different as well.
hope the above helps

When it first shows up its tiny, but while the keyboard is open flip it to landscape, then back to portrait and it will be better! Better in that it will be full width of screen, but still a bit shorter than other keyboards. But I still prefer it over others.

For downloading the UK language go in to Swype settings and language preferences, download languages then English UK wait for downloading then activate....

I don't know about you, but I can type a lot faster the hole words with 2 fingers compared to swiping.
Thanks Guy's
I will download swype when i figure out to flash a custom recovery on this phone.
(Its soo hard) Compared to my other samsung phone
It's so confusing with all the drivers and stuff. I wish i could just use ODIN because that's 100% easier.
I've never used swype, I don't know what features it offers, apart from ummmmm, swyping(?) but I'm using this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cootek.smartinputv5&hl=en
Has the same type of thing, sliding your finger to write, and other features. I like it, find it good, but as i say I've never used swype, so can't compare. Sliding does take a bit of getting used to though...

you just have to practice. If you try and be super precise with Swype, you wind up losing a lot of time compared to just tapping everything out and letting the spell check handle it. Swype is certainly not perfect but I've been using it for about a year now and the only reason I go back to the aosp keyboard is the terminal, Swype acts weird on it...

Dude, swype is much faster than regular keyboard. Also it is really handy to type fast with only one finger

Ok, how?
It would be personal preference if you ask me. I've tried all the ones that are offered on the Android store and still keep going back to Swype. The keyboard is great but the best feature that I find is that you can totally mess up a word and 9 times out of 10 Swype will pick the correct word or give you a choice of words with the word you were trying to type being 1st or in the first row of choices.
Installation is easy, just go to the website and follow there instructions, its a total walk through. :good:
Had Swype on my old Epic and my wife's LG Optimus S when she had it. Tried it again last night on my GNex and I can honestly say I like the stock keyboard better.
Like the previous poster stated......persoal preference.

I have used swype for a few months now, and i just cant use the normal keyboard again!!! Once when I was installing a custom ROM, i faced a problem with the installation of swype, and I just stopped msging or chatting with anyone that day!!
and I can even swype without even looking at the screen now!!
But in my opinion, u can't do the same on a normal keyboard coz u cant feel the keys!!

Swype is good at spell correct but Swiftkey does predictions better than anyone. So while you are swyping all your letters, I just type one or two and hit space
The select all, copy, paste short cut in Skype wins hands down!

i must have different Swype because mines all jacked up...had been for a while. Basically since flashed jb. Anyone have a better apk than the Swype site

+1 Swipping! I've been using it since the Windows Mobile 6 ages (HTC Touch Pro) and I can't use no other keyboard since then.
All about preference. I used to use swype beta, but have been using SwiftKey 3 for months and haven't looked back. That said, swiping is great, but I rarely type more than two letters before SwiftKey predicts my word.

Newest Swype beta worked fine for me on 4.1 but I got rid of it as I'm actually more use to the stock keyboard now.
