Hi everybody!
Is there an application that lets you use lg optimus dual's gestures? I refer to the possiblity to move the cursor, when you are writing, left or right simply by hitting your device on the left or the right side.
Thank you in advance and sorry my english

Bump!
This sounds pretty interesting...
Yes this is possible, actually with a little bit of porting you could use the same app. The only real problem is that the hardware (accelerometer) is different. But it shouldn't be to big of a problem. How usefull this app would be is a second issue. You are aware that it is merely a gimmick and not even very functional on the optimus right?
Hope this informed you enough. If you want someone to develop it for you, just send out a request and donate kindly
Thank you for the explanation, my real problem is how to move between text easily, i red about this possibility but it's not an useful solution... Thank you tho for helping
Btw do you know how to move practically between text?

No problem, Could you elaborate on that? I don't understand what you mean exactly. You press where you want to have the cursor on text? On website its a longpress and then you can drag (and copy search etc) Is this what you mean?
I have some problems while typing a text message, for example, my finger isn't too much precise to choose the right place;
another important problem that i have is when i'm searching on Google: if what i'm searching is longer than the bar, and I'd like to edit the last word, i can't move the cursor too right beside i should tap the "x", that deletes all...
Sorry my English i tried to explain as best as i can, i hope that it's understandable...
10q again for help

Actually I know what you mean, google thing you can solve by making a text selection and draging it to the beginning. For the text problem there isnt really a solution. I got used to it pretty fast and im accurate now. Also the gingerbread keyboard is a bit better when it comes to text selection, if your not using it yet it might be worth giving a try
you can find a flashable package of the keyboard here.
Hope this will help you!
Edit: Text selection in google mobile is indeed not possible. A solution for this could be to use classic google which has a larger text box. (I am using this since the beginning, its actually faster and less buggy, downside is that you have to zoom in and out a bit more)
I already have a gingerbread keyboard, thank you...

Ok good, best keyboard imo. OT: you still want the dual gestures? Could ask some dev's to take a look at it
no i don't think i will, it's not so important, i don't want to bother a dev for so little...
Hahaha, lonely in this thread. We could have almost handled it with pm's
It has been brought to my attention that posting the apk itself is against site rules so I have removed the link. I have however left the official website link for anyone that wants the app just visit the site and download the apk. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Just go to http://beta.swype.com/ and register to test!
Is this for Beta 1.3?

It's abit troublesome if you need to use numbers snd decimal points, you need to switch from alphabet to numeric in order to get it. I think they should add decimal point in the numerical pads too without switching to and fro.
It is against XDA rules to post Swype as a standalone apk.
Why????

It's a free apk at the moment while it's in BETA, if it is against the rule I will remove it but I thought been as it's a FREE BETA it would be no problem??? Am I wrong???

If you hold down the button that changes to numeric it brings up a different numeric pad with decimal point, enjoy!
Been using this for a while now and works flawlessly! Really liking the keyboard themes
Switching from languages need a long press.

Which really really sucks if you use two languages.
Anyway, Swype was never very supportive for people that used more than one language. Even the version where you press a single button to switch languages, sometimes it doesn't change at all, and when it does, it's always less snapier than any other keyboard I have tried.
Using stock prediction more worse than swype.

Did you know the shortcut to change language on swype?
Swipe your finger from the swype button to the spacebar. You don't need to longpress anything.
There are several more shortcuts, it's in the settings, you can look after.

Yes! :good:
In case anyone is having trouble with the quick language switch gesture, you just have to make sure to select a second active language before you can toggle between languages.
anyone experiences an occasional hang time before swype comes out? may be just me....keeping fingers crossed for swiftkey flow

First of all Welcome to XDA.. and great choice. Note 2 is amazing.
Start slow. If this is not your first android, then start with what apps you already had on your prior phone,
Go thru all the settings, some of them are very cool.
Try the motion sensor help and tutorials.
If this is your first android get used to the android world. Key is to not hurry. and you will learn and get used to things.

hello and welcome to xda !
first of all try read to learn about amazing android features (root, flashing, etc)
if you have any question, ther's Q&A section
and don't forget to search before asking because i bet that all your questions had been asked before :fingers-crossed:
Hi there and welcome. To add on to what the other guys said, the best way to go is to just look through all the menus and get familiar with where the various settings and options are and what they do.
Look up some blogs or posts that go over the basics of android and customisation. For example alternative home screens like apex launcher and Nova launcher are quite popular and really great if you want to make your home screen really stand out.
Also look into alternative keyboards if you find that the stock keuboard doesn't suit you to well. Keyboards like swift key and thumb keyboard are quite popular.
And as someone else already mentioned, going through the q&a section is a good way to learn about any issues and questions others have already asked.
Have fun

Just get used to it. Don't rush. I also bought this great gadget a few weeks ago. If you are an avid reader download Kindle, Kobo, Aldiko Premium, or UB Reader and enjoy thousands of books. Look which browser suits you best. Download Opera Mobile, truly great browser. Download Polaris Office from Samsung Apps or get Quickoffice Pro or Kingsoft Office from Google Play. Get app Note Everything, looks like a must have app.
Swype Beta was just updated to 1.4. Update details per Android Central, "added Living Language, which takes auto correction and word prediction to a new level with crowd sourced data". Other additions include, "The correction engine has gotten an upgrade, and the new Smart Editor now analyzes your entire sentence, flagging any errors for correction or suggesting the best substitution based on the context of what you're saying, not just the word order."
Please share your thoughts on this version. Download is here: http://beta.swype.com/
That video was hilarious

Thanks Dave, I've always been a huge Swype fan, wouldn't buy a phone unless it was capable of using Swype. This version is pretty nice. Still playing with it. One thing I noticed is, it's not quite as easy to use punctuation as before (like anyone uses punctuation in texts anyway). I used to be able to tap on the last word I wrote and it would give me the option of ! , ? or whatever, now you have to long press the appropriate letter. Not a biggie just something I noticed. Still playing, but thanks for the heads up! :good:
I'm liking the built in themes!
Thanks for the info. Just updated. Hopefully the update will address the problem with personal dictionary disappearing followed by no longer able to add new words.

I've been messing with it for about an hour or so. The smart editor and next word prediction must take time to populate. As for the personal dictionary disappearing, I don't get why they have a register option, but no log in and sync dictionary option :thumbdown: As for adding words, I have had no issues there. One last thing I noticed is that Dragon seems a little more accurate. May be my imagination

One thing I really wish they had was an option to disable Dragon and use Google for voice typing.

There is login and the supposedly sync dictionary option. Under Swype connect, just tap into your registered email/account. Although I'm not sure how it works; I don't see any syncing between my two devices using the same account.
If this is your first time using Swype, then the dictionary disappearing issue I was referring to usually happens in a few days. Whatever triggered it I'm still unclear; I've tried with or without an account, checked and unchecked syncing option, and many other combinations... and it's usually after that disappearance the word addition ceases to work.

I've never had any issues with the voice typing. It works pretty good for me, even when I talk faster or stutter, it picks up remarkable well. Maybe it's just your Canadian accent :laugh:

Lol! I just find Google voice typing works so well. Also I regularly hit the Dragon button by error due to its proximity to the enter button.
On another note, after a day of use, I have definitely noticed an improvement in word selection while swyping.

I am always open minded to better options & different ideas, but if you are going to post a statement like this, please explain how you have arrived at this conclusion.
I don't think anyone can debate the fact that Swiftkey has the best prediction machine out there for regular typing. I actually use Swiftkey on my tablet, and when drafting long emails on my phone in landscape. Given this I was very excited to try Swiftkey Flow, which I did, for both versions. In my experience, Swiftkey still has a long way to go to catch Swype when it comes to swype typing. Swiftkey Flow is not as accurate or smooth as Swype when swyping. My typing speeds on Swype are 25% faster than when using Swiftkey Flow. This is not surprising given Swype has been doing this since it was founded almost 10 years ago in 2003.

OK..I like the fact it auto spaces after punctuation. I can tell it to learn how I type from SMS, FB, or Twit. It goes out and does it's thing and says it learned. I can now to "Swiping" words in shorthand that I used in GOsms. Genius. I can swipe left quick quick quick and it will start to remove text I may want to remove. The keyboard has a fresh look with various themes. All Swype boards look the same to me. I bid you to try the latest version of flow. ...61. It's much improved

If you like to swype, you can do a period-to-space swype (same for question, exclamation mark, comma, colon, and double-quote). You can also double-tap space to get period-space now. I'm not sure when that was added though.
I love the punct gestures; long press is too slow.
When you stop on a letter and wait for the menu to pop up with the available choices, it would be nice to see the uppercase version of the letter there as well.
Otherwise I have been using Swype since this summer when I got my SG3 and love it.

Swype also auto spaces after punctuation. I have tried both versions of Swiftkey flow. There is no brand loyalty here, I just want the best solution for me.
At the end of the day, this decision is personal and very much driven by what one is accustomed to. Let's bury the comparison discussion for now, the purpose of this thread is for discussion around the new Swype release.
Or just swype from the question mark or exclamation point to the space bar and it will input whatever special character your swyped from..... It's the easiest way.

is it possible to theme swype? would it be hard to mode the app to be inverted lets say
does any one know how to export/extract Swype keyboard user custom dictionary ? or atleast to locate it/them on the phone ?
I want to migrate to Touchpal keyboard but I dont want to start inputtting all my words manually again. I already have a huge list which I have been building over a long time !
Touchpal keyboard is very nice and I highly recommend it to try it out if you guys dont know or havent used it they even have tablet edition by the way link

I just sent an Support ticket to Swype asking if there's an option to export/import words of/to the user dictionary of Swype and additionally asking if there is a general problem with dictionaries bigger than about 1300 words. Swype worked miserable for me as my dictionary grew this big. I had to manually delete words to solve this probleme and I was quite a bit annoyed...
yes me too, I think I did contact them about a year ago. they said no. if they do help you let me know
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
The support answered me, that the export is not possible and thats really bad.
The import is annoying but no big thing. Just make an long txt file, one word a line. You can't import all the words at once, but if you mark about twenty of them and then long press the Swype key you will be pretty quick importing 1200 words - what I did in about 20 minutes or so.
