Latest Swype beta not working on latest stock firmware (4.1.2)

Hey guys. I just got the newest Swype beta update but now every time I try to select Swype keyboard, the keyboard simply changes to the default Android one. Tried wiping data for Swype and restarting phone, neither of which helped. I have Titanium restored back to the older version for now. Has anyone had a similar problem?

I'm also having the same problem. Tried completely uninstalling it, and the installer, and downloading it again..same thing. I don't get it. Very frustrating.
I tried to do the same thing as you, but the backup was on my tablet, and my titanium backup on my phone doesn't want to recognize any of the apps for some reason.

Yeah I also tried the same thing and it didn't help either. Are you on 4.1.2 as well?

Yes.

The same here. Dont'blame 4.1.2 update it seems there is a conflict between the last swype 1.3.1 update and lightflow led app. If i try TO disable lightflow swype works like a charm!

Hm. I need lightflow more than I need swype. I'm trying SlideIT right now...so far so good, just hope it's not a battery hog. How did you figure that out anyway?

Hi guys, I've just updated to the latest beta version of Swype. I'm running a custom ROM based on 4.1.2, details in my signature. No issues for me. Using the Mercury theme.

This is a known problem.
The solution so far is turn off any applications like lightflow in settings>accessibility.

Any suggestions on how to get the older version back on to my phone? The titanium backup that I had from my tablet won't show on my phone even though I've copied the entire folder

it is incompatible with LIGHTFLOw
either uninstall lightflow, or go to settings - apps- and try to delete data/cache
another option would be to force stop your stock keyboard- then swype should work
forums at swype is where i read this - and did it myself - new swype is awesome (besides this bug of course)

I know the new version is incompatible with light flow, thats why I want the one I had right before the update. I'm asking how to get that one back

ah sorry
maybe try this??
I just tried the above, go to Settings > Apps > All, find "Android Keyboard" and click the "Disable" button and then the "Force Stop" button, REBOOT your phone, and then select Swype as your keyboard.
Volia! I have Light Flow and Swype 1.3.1 BOTH working!
Does NOT require Root! Thanks "userspace"!

Hey guys , the newest version is not incompatible with lightflow , theres something going on with the stock android keyboard . I was having the same problem , on 4.1.1 with the newest beta of swype . I went into settings - apps - all , and disabled the android keyboard . After that reboot your phone , and swype should work . I just did it 15 minutes ago and it worked great , and lightflow is still enabled on my phone . I found the info in swypes forums .
Edit : guess I should have read ALL the posts , looks like I'm confirming Bigal77's statement rather than giving new information .

Tablet features ain't working on the Nexus 7

Incompatible with MissedIt! too.

Thanks everyone! I guess the best fix for me right now would be to disable the stock keyboard since I don't even use it.

Disabling the stock keyboard has resulted in some wonky behavior on my phone. Screen turning on by itself, music started playing by itself, dismissed notifications, rebooted once.....none of this happened ever before until I tried the fix of disabling the stock keyboard. Unfortunately I think I'm going to just stick with thumb keyboard until Swype fixes the issue on their own. It's just INSANELY hard to type w/o swype, it really sucks, and SlideIT is no replacement at all, terrible predictions.

Yeah SlideIt is pretty bad. I haven't had any problems after disabling stock keyboard though.

Yeah, I mean I'm using it now. But both the stock KB and this one are checked under language and input

I only ask because I hastily downloaded the apk only to keep reading and see that people on aosp roms have to download a flashable zip...I haven't got to installing yet, so I can't say if that's the issue, but if history is any indication...

So mine also has two "stock" keyboards checked, but it lets me set one as the default and it sticks, so it doesn't sound like I'm having your exact problem.

Here's a screeny of my input methods. Both are greyed and unclickable.

K, that's just what mine looks like, I guess I don't understand what you mean by it constantly asking you to select input methods. Do you just mean the notification at the top while you are typing? If so, most of the roms have a way to disable the IME switcher notification, or in CM10 it is called "Selector notification." I've always disabled it since I use swiftkey anyway. Hope that helps.

oh okay, yeah i was referring to the notification icon popping up everytime i open my keyboard, but that's fine. ive used other keyboards and not had that issue so it threw me off is all.

GN Swype beta issue on 4.2.1

Anyone have issues with swype beta installer after i log in on the choose version screen i get continuous loading and never recognizes a version.. anyone else? or have fix for the issue??

I have the same problem.

Swype Beta unusable for me in 4.2.1 it is always force closing... I am now using Keymonk keyboard and it is a great contender vs. swype! Almost might be better! Two handed swiping so much quicker and I am sure it will only get better! Get the free version here

no problems with Skype here, rooted & running Xylon 4.2.1 009. Suggestions would be uninstal, redownload installer & Skype again. If rooted i would also suggest wiping cache & dalvik, even fixing permissions. You could also paste the Skype installer & apk direclty into your system/apps folder and see if that changes anything (have to be rooted).

wow thanks for this app, i been using the latest stock 4.2.1 keyboard for swyping but this new one seems alot smoother and simpler adding new words with one touch.

What I wind up doing is restoring the app with tibu, then clearing data. Then i register, and enter the activation code, and allow it to restore my user defined words. It's become a part of my setup process

Skype:good:

I pulled the apk from my phone and manually installed/sideloaded it and it works fine.

Yeah ended up side loading it works perfect

I tried to do this with Astro file viewer, but all it finds is the .apk for the installer which results in the same problem. Any ideas?

Android 4.4 KitKat Launcher

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that both the launcher and the new google now seem to work fine on the LGOG.
Everything is pretty snappy and there are some cool new features.
Wanted to let you know, the new google now has something similar to the "always listening" on the Moto X and it's really cool.
Haven't run into any issues, but if any of you guys do, go ahead and post them!
Steps:
Manual
1.Download and install PreBuiltGmsCore.apk, Velvet.apk, and GoogleHome.apk like any other apk.
2.Using a file manager as root, copy libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.so over to /system/lib and overwrite if prompted to.
By Flashing
1.Download and flash GOOGLEHOME.zip.
2.Using a file manager as root, copy libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.so over to /system/lib and overwrite if prompted to.
New 4.4 apks including Hangouts, new camera, new keyboard, new google now and launcher:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-google-home-android-4-4-launcher-apk/
libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.so:
https://copy.com/aGcxY (Thanks jblazea50)
Confirmed working on:
Carbon ROM
Slimbean
CM 10.2
Troubleshooting:
-If you can't find /system/lib, try a different file manager
-If Google Now force closes, try changing the language to English UK (though this doesn't seem to make a difference on the LGOG)

I can't seem to get Google now to go past "initializing". Tried changing the language to no avail

To get Google now/search to work, you need to take the file from the zip and place it in system/lib and change permission.

I am hearing that this thing is pretty ugly due to it being for a 1080 screen and most phones are still 720.
If you have it loaded can you attest to the "ugliness" due to the screen difference. maybe a screenshot?

I installed all 3 apks in the order specified but when i choose the new launcher, i get google search fc. I tried to change the language for google now while using the lg launcher but it didnt work. Also tried to copy that file to system/lib and it didnt work either.

Did you change permission on the lib file? Also, do a reboot afterwards. Remember you have to install the Google Services app also.

I'm on Optimus v4.4 and installed all 3 parts and get Google search has stopped working when trying to switch to the launcher.

I changed permission on the lib file to rw r r. Then rebooted and still the same. What is the google services app? Is that one of the 3 apk files or something additional?

same issue here I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling manually pushing the files and everything in it still force stops.
Seems to be tied to Android 4.1.X I am still digging around for a fix.

Has anyone gotten this to work? I've tried everything and I can't get this launcher to work??? I can get google now to work but when trying to open the launcher to work it says "google search has stopped" Idk I'm about to give up...
idk how i got here...

Same boat, FC Google Search when trying to use the launcher. Everything else seems to be working, saying "Ok Google" works if Google Now is open, but have tried all fixes for the launcher and still get FC's.

I'm gonna try to make a list of ROMs that the launcher works on (after file overwrite at /system/lib).
Could the people that it works for please let us know what ROM they're on?

Just as I suspected. Only works on AOSP/CM based ROMs for now.
