Don't know if anyone mentioned before, least haven't seen one. A new Beta for Swype is out. Found it while reading in GSMArena blog. Using it. Not bad. Swype lovers should try it.

Swyping from my i9100 via Tt
Fairly early days in terms of my usage of it, but definite signs of improvement on what was already an indispensable tool. Seems quicker and slicker somehow. Haven't really been able to test out the word prediction facility yet.
They say it has a fresh new look, but it looks the same to me.

Perhaps true in the sense that it is still a keyboard but the size, colour and styling are both different - not radically, but somewhat.
As a matter of interest, you did enable Swype Beta, didn't you? For whatever reason the beta and the original both show as installed. You won't see the new look unless you enable the beta.
Can someone report the actual version number of this please, as I'm not sure if this is the version I already have installed
I have: 3.26.92.38965.38973.10637.I9100
Just installed it, it feels... bigger, the new Swype. I'd rather it be slightly smaller.
Also I noticed some new effects when you let go (it like shrinks and fades out) after swyping and it also seems to run a bit faster.
My version is 1.0.3.5809
Interestingly though the package name is nuance and not swype.
From the manifest.xml:
HTML:
<manifest android:versionCode="5809" android:versionName="1.0.3.5809" package="com.nuance.swype.input"
This must be their first release since acquiring swype.

Word removing is changed and I don't like it.
On non beta, if you hold the backspace button then word by word would get deleted, but now it's letter by letter. Damn!

AGREED! This is my only complaint thus far. Why did they mess with it, or at least not make it an option???

Is it possible to change the Swype's interface?
In the German version they attached üßöä on the right side of the keyboard... that is annoying! Is there any way to change it?
The Rest is nice...

Another bug. Just click on the address bar of a website and see how long it takes to pop up the Swype. I was on Stock browser.

How can you enable handwriting? I choose it from options but I couldn't find to run it.
All in all this is an awful release in my opinion.
Ability to delete words in the original dictionary is a HUGE improvement, and I also love the option to have popups.
But then I noticed that words you just typed get erased immediately if you press backspace, but I just though well, I guess I can get used to that even though it's kind of a stupid change to make.
Then I noticed that backspace now erased letter by letter instead of words by word.
THEN I noticed that words get auto-added, meaning that every time you type out a captcha or feel like randomly saying something like "wazzaaaaaaa" to a friend, you'll involuntarily be getting those words added to your dictionary!
AND THEN I noticed that you can't add the "" and the "" smileys to your dictionary. A feature which I usually use at least once per sms!
I don't see why they feel like they have to decide for us whether we want to erase word by word or letter by letter, or whether we want words to auto-add or not!?
Also, I've been swyping this entire post, and making a capital i is near impossible, and a capital A IS impossible. Also the marker seems to have a life of it's own most of the time. Horrible release.
Back to the last Swype beta for me, good that I had a backup...
I just hope they bring a new beta with the old features soon before this one expires.

Wish I had a backup. It's more accurate by far but messaging is annoying, the letter marker seems to jump and it creates duplicate when everything a new line on everything. Also, i hate the send key being replaced by smilies.
Swype Full
Hi all,
I recently moved from Stock-rom (in which I had a full version of swype - 3.26 I think). Is there a way that I can extract my Swype from the Stock-rom and move it to the custom rom? (I have Nandroid for the stock).
I've tried to backup with TB in the stock, and restore in the custom but it didn't work. I also tried to copy the data\app files & data\dalvik-cache & data\data\com.android.swype.inputmethod & of course - the apk.
It all didn't work.
Any advices?
Thanks.

You have to copy the lib file as well as the app from the /system/app and system/lib to the respective folders I think

Thanks.
I've tried to do that.
At system\lib, originally, I had nothing that relates to Skype.
However, at Data\Data\com.swype.android.inputmethod\, I had several folders. One of them was ..\Lib, and the lib file was there.
No other place it was originally placed.
Any advices?
and another question, if I may...
where are the language packs files stored?
I love the new app but DAMN ITS A MEMORY HOG!
Old Swype on my device used 12.24MB
New Swype plus mandatory SwypeConnect app uses 38.2MB :silly:
I try not to ask for help, but unfortunately this one has me a bit stumped..
I started this journey a couple weeks ago by picking up a T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2. Needless to say I <3 it.. Shortly thereafter I received an AT&T upgrade and figured my T-Mobile days were becoming limited (REALLY poor service where I live), So I got an AT&T version.
Although I've rooted both and such within hours of them being charged - I've found one (what I want to call BIG) difference, and I hate it.
It's the keyboard when I'm texting. On the Tmobile version the space button is a little smaller, has a comma on the left side, period on the right side and the 'mode' button (handwriting/speech/keyboard/settings) ..
On the AT&T version the space is a little wider, to the right is the . to the left is a single button that expands out to have ,?!' talk, handwriting, settings.. All of these are into this one little button.
With Tmobile the 'magic button' (since I dont know what it's called) - it defaults to the speech/speak now prompt. AT&T's button defaults to handwriting..
I ACTUALLY use the voice version, however I can count the number of times I've used handwriting / spent on 1 hand. Therefore the only thing I really would pray for is to be able to get the Tmobile note 2 Keyboard layout on the ATT note 2
Background: Both phones are setup exactly the same, with the exact same settings etc.. Just stock roms etc, rooted w/ CWM..
See Screenshots
Wow that is strange. Do you use the number keys at the top? If not you could try out the 4.2 stock keyboard. You could also try copying the "SamsungIME.apk" from "system/apps" from the T-Mobile N2 and onto the AT&T N2.

Well I went ahead and copied both the apk and the opek?
Anywho what that did was it made the 'smart' button turn into the comma.. Better than before (since I dont use the handwriting in texts etc).
The space button is still large as in the difference between the ATT/TM versions.
Also - yes I do use the numbers, since i have many alpha-num passwords it's quite handy not having top flipflop between the regular keyboard and 'sym' to be able to get to the numbers.
Hrmm any other magic files to copy? =)
I'd really just love to have the keyboard from the TM version instead of the ATT version.. Sounds easy but I have no clue where it would be hiding..
I'm going to try it without the odex this go around, will post the results.. Im thinking that may have something to do with it still being different..
I dont know a whole lot about the guts of android programming so I'm going to wing it till I get it where I like it..
If I didn't have to worry about the bloat and other stuff from TM, i'd almost flash the TM version onto it, then flash the ATT modem? /shrug,, however I do really did the I7105 international firmware,, it's fairly nice but i've had a few bugs with it.

Welp - just odex free didnt help at all..
I did however install the TM image which isn't too bad, put the ATT rom on it, and i'm ALMOST where I want it to be..
Somehow the samsungIME.apk/odex isn't all I'm looking for..
Does anyone know what other files control the keyboard layout / keys etc on these?
(Would love to run international 7105 w/ Tmobile key layout =)
Seeing as you have both phones, you're in an ideal position to compare the config files and see what parameters are different.
The general concept:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1988202
I am guessing - GUESSING - that the solution lies in what is different between the two phones in here:
/system/usr/keylayout
(The layout files are all text files.)
Good luck!

I finally got the chance to disect the directory you mention.. Unfortunately the files are exactly the same from what I can tell by looking at each file side by side.
Also copying the whole directory over changed nothing - which further supports said theory in case I overlooked something.
GOT it!

The second change was what set the button to go to voice instead of HANDWRITTING. That's what I was looking for!

I chose to go with a custom ROM for my N2 (AT&T) and I grieved the loss of my Sammy Keyboard. Once you move to custom, the keyboard is standard or aosp android. i never liked the Android keyboard layout, even though it;s functionality ran circles around Sammy.
To cut to the chase, their are some reasonably priced key boards in the Play Store that run circles around both Sammy and Android. I use Swift, which seems to be the current leader in sales and ratings. Swipe is another one that I hear a lot of people like and it is a third of the price of Swift. I think Swift is worth what you pay for it, even though I still like the layout of the Sammy better.
For anyone else using the stock samsung keyboard on sotck 4.1.2, does the autocorrect function properly? For example, if you write "tgat" instead of "that", will it autocorrect? I'm running the stock Koodo 4.1.2, and the keyboard will not correct it. Although it will show the correct "that" in the prediction bar, and highlight with a slightly darker blue. However, in order to correct it I have to press on the correct word, thereby taking away the usefulness of autocorrect.
Have you guys encountered such an issue? Is there any fix for this problem?
Otherwise, I'm quite liking the stock samsung keyboard.

I can confirm this issue on jedi mind trick rom
I've seen that happen for awhile on many roms ....for the 10 minutes I use it after flashing, then I install my backup of Smart Keyboard Pro and all is well!
But yeah....not sure if there's a solution. I've played with stocks settings and it doesn't change. Just a poor keyboard.

I like the look of the keyboard, I just can't use it because if the auto correct

Hey All,
Jelly Beer's 4.2.2 update worked great on my Samsung S3. However, I went out and purchased a new Note 2 GT-N7100 T-Mobile T889. I love the phone. The only problem is that I got used to the keyboard that the guys included in with Jelly Beer 4.2.2 update. In the Input settings, the keyboard is listed as Android keyboard (AOSP). That's the keyboard that I want.
The one that came with the Note 2 is Samsung's own and it's awful. Yes, yes, yes, I've installed just about every other keyboard out there. I've purchased the paid versions and all. Still, nothing does the job as well as the keyboard AOSP. I was literally going to toss the phone because I can't type on it. Then I started to use the gesture part of it, and I'm getting used to that. However, I still want the AOSP one. I've looked all over in the Play store and nothing.
Does anyone have the direct link or the actual .apk that I can download?
Would really appreciate it.

I am wanting the same thing.
yes, there is a google keyboard in the app store. but its not the same as AOSP, AOSP has the symbols as long hold on the letter keys. and you can long press the "." and slide to choose ?! and others.
I tried pulling out the aosp keyboard from carbon rom, if I just install it, it works, but no sliding to type (like swype) and if I move it to system/app and set permissions, then reset, it just force closes... so... it kind of works... but I would really like to be able to slide type.
Been hunting around for a possible fix for this and I figured it was time to ask on the Q&A forum.
My problem is that with the official samsung keyboard for the tab S 10.5 the recent apps button (on the keyboard, not the tablet itself) doesn't work on certain roms, although it does however work on the stock rom.
Is there a file that I need to edit to bind that key to the recent apps function? Or am I out of luck?
Thanks for taking the time to read about my problem. :good:
