Newest Version: Believed to be the same version on newer T-Mobile MyTouch 3Gs
Older Version: (uninstall previous version first)
</b>
<font face="verdana">
Oldest Version: Said to work on the Eris
Just installed it and it works on my Hero
1. Download swype here. (if for some reason it downloads as .zip, just change the file extension to .apk)
2. Transfer to your Eris via USB
3. Settings -> Application settings -> Check Unknown sources (You all prob have done this before but my n00b friends had not so I thought I would mention it anyways)
4. Use a file manager program such as Astro File Manager and go to the location you stored the .apk
5. Install
6. After install go to Settings -> Locale & Text -> Check Swype
7. Open any email/text client and hold down the text box and you will get a popup asking what you want for input. Select Swype. You only have to do this once and it will do it for all your programs.
8. Disable Audio Warnings as it seems to give errors as well located at Phone settings -> Locale & text -> Swype
<b>I recommend reading the tutorial. Helped me. This is very sick. I now love one handed emailing and texting as its so simple.
alternative link:
*known bugs*
1) If you do not check "Disable Audio Warnings" in the Locale & Test > Swype Settings you will get repeated force closes.
2) Installing seems to disable the ability to click and hold to delete icons on the homescreen, widgets work fine.
3) There is no option to tap on a word to edit it while in Portrait mode, reports that landscape mode works fine.
[highlight]Mod Edit: No Swype Links Allowed[/highlight]
holy balls i might need to include this in my rom.
Incredile simply put! Thanks ALOT!!!!
i think my mind has just been blown away...
if you get force closes, disable the sounds in the settings... i did until i turned them off
also, doesn't seem like you can select and edit words like it says in the tutorial
thx! It works awesome! except, you can't just hide it when you want to I noticed, like the normal HTC keyboard.

Just saw the Spanish dictionary in there so great.
Man, I was sceptical about swype when I first heard about it, but it is freakin wicked!
I wasn't too sure about this either, but it's growing on me! I'll have to run it through it's paces over the next few days and see how well it works for me. So far so good.
I suggest going through the entire tutorial.
Also, those not sure how to get it running as your default text input, just tap and hold onto a text input place to select the new default, you can always disable swipe at any time by doing the same thing. It doesn't replace anything that I can see, just another app to use.
Thanks for sharing OP!
this just made text input infinitely easier on this phone.
Wow love this so far thanks for the find.
Works great but I get FC when i hold down the backspace button to delete words. Works great if i just tap it but holding it down will always FC
EDIT: Turning off sounds fixed the FC
i used to HATE text input, but now i'm texing everyone i know! my grandmother! my ex-girlfriend! my sister's husband!
its awesome. if your skeptical just try it. (only takes a second to install) its freakin awesome.

Ok, you wanted new thread for Villain 5.0, so here it is.
This rom is based on SPRINT CDMA, so there may be some issues because of that.
It had a nasty issue while calling, it replaced "+" in the number with "001", this is fixed now thanks to LuffarJoh, thanks man!
I want to thank Nprussel for his great rom and Sanpei for his great kernel.
You should look at the original thread for some of bugs and fixes.
Villain 5.0 Original Thread
...::: YOU NEED NEW RADIO/SPL/ext2/3 :::...
FULL WIPE NEEDED
Hello my firends and testers
here is a mash i did while trying to get this rom more local... this make this rom experimental
I have no experience in what i am doing and this CDMA port make the job not easier for me.
I managed to turn on the languages, but very few things are localized, you will see...
I am trying to do my best so if you have suggestions on how to make it work, please PM me
*** EXPERIMENTAL ***Villain 5 v04 *** EXPERIMENTAL ***
MD5: ede2dd780c8682692b733c964a387c8b
Friendstream gone (did'nt worked), Friendstream widget works tho.
Modified HTC IME to support locales, thanks to Jonas!
More agresive Auto Task Killer, need tests...
Titanium Backup should work, need tests too... (no FC by me)
Fixed Camera thanks to Sanpeis Magic experimental camera lib need tests...
I am trying to fix the old bootscreen... still working on that...
There may be some problems with sync, i fixed it by canceling sync and then pushed sync all again...
so in short, this need tests
FIRST STARTUP TAKE AGES ---
Villain 5.01 v03
MD5: 1124941d07731f8f2c7d6a2c148e3f27
A2SD, Wifi, BT, GPS, Sensors working, Camera flickery but working.
I Fixed the Friendstream and news reader...(sorry, this is not fixed.)
Added Mount USB, System Info, Jbed, Brut Maps, Market enabler,
Home switcher, ES file explorer, memory tweaks...
Added Launcher 2 (choose launcher with home switcher, and give it few seconds to load)
Live wallpapers (working in Launcher or Launcher 2, give it few seconds to load)
Got problem with live wallpapers now, the wallpaper changes after phone locks. Working on that.
The original rom is for USA only, so there is no extra languages (working on that one too)
you can try morelocale2 from market,
to change to celsius go to settings in weather,
to change to 24h clock, go to date & time settings.
On the first login to google it may happen that you cant type anything,
close the keyboard and open it again, that worked for me.
You know what to do... test and report
enjoy
First boot take loooong time, if u are not sure if it lives, check adb logcat.
Ps. Do i need to say that this rom need time to settle?
Ok, it need some time to load and settle!!

I flashed the Rom but the things u said that were included like usbmount, etc can be no where to be found
Found one small graphical glitch. In People, Groups, click on any group. Contacts are display on top of a black background. As it should be white, we can't see contact's name.

I read that some people are seeing the new version of Swype that's supposed to be released 6/16 in the market but I'm not. If anyone has it could you please post the .apk? Thanks.
its not on the market you have to go to beta.swype.com and give them an email address you can access from your evo and they will provide the instructions...better hurry, no telling how long they will be offering it. I got it on mine earlier today.

Did you get the final version? I've only seen the beta version 1.56 that has been kicking around for a week already.
I believe this is a new version.had its own installer.don't recall there being anything on it about a beta like
Before.

Sent on my Sprint EVO using 4G speed
The version released today that some of us have is beta release 1.56.30.7625.t100
I just tried installing it, but it failed twice on my EVO. Gave up.

thanks, i just registered and am waiting for the email
I got an email last night at around 10pm.
Downloaded it... it was it's own installer. Installed it, works awesome. Not sure if it's new or old or what.
It says "version 7625" in the manage applications menu.
yes just got the update link yesterday
yes swype is back open for beta testing I dont know if it is truly an open beta as i tried for the last beta only to get this yesterday whitch was good I was using a hacked swype
they need to put the option of adding a period after hitting spacebar twice and add an icon for speech to text on the keyboard
You can get the period after swyping from "period" to "space"
speech to text would make swype perfection.

whats kinda weird is when i put in numbers ..
i hit the symbol button and the numbers are there but in a weird setting.
if i hit the shift button and then the symbol button twice.. then i get the regular phone pad which makes it easier ..

Try swyping from the "swype" button to the letter "F" (the number 5) on the keyboard to bring that up without having to do all that.

Edit: After I install this everything works fine (installed fine, tap text) except when I actually try to 'swype'. The little blue box lights up around keyboard, and I get the blue line that follows my finger but nothing ever shows up on-screen. I have to put in each letter just like the normal keyboard.

Strange, I had this issue when I first tried installing the new Swype (it was cause by it claiming that the app was meant for a different device). After re-downloading it through the stock web browser the keyboard worked great. I guess make sure you have fully uninstalled Swype and then try installing the links above again, and if that doesn't work see what logcat results are when you try swyping.
Just wondering if anyone is working on porting this or if someone would like to or a location of the .apk for the Hero. Thanks.
EDIT: I have been advised that this is a working version found HERE.

Supposedly its a hell of a lot more accurate because you can hit two keys at once, even if it is accidental.

Keyboard seems to work pretty good so far. One thing I really dont like is the spacebar seems to only have a specific spot that you can press even though it looks big. Other than that so far so good.

FYI, some can use this and some can't because it requires libraries from the stock Android keyboard, which Sense-based ROMs usually don't have.
To use, just install the vanilla Android keyboard first:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5874235#post5874235
Then install the APK for the Droid X keyboard. You can either push it to /system/app or just click on it in your file manager like a normal apk.

After doing that it won't let me install the multi-touch one: (
Ok, I re-zipped the APK to incorporate the missing libraries, so you can even use it on a non-rooted phone. No need to use the flashable version if this one works for you. Install it like any app:

Hmm... What's different about darchdroid? Is it aosp based?
Just wanted to inform y'all that the Droid X multitouch keyboard is compatible with 2.1 G1 and MT3G phones
To install it you have to first remove the LatinIme.apk default keyboard that comes with the rom.
then push the file. I've already renamed it to LatinIme.apk for you
OR just copy and paste it in Root Explorer and give it the correct permissions
hope y'all enjoy!

EDIT:
some ppl have asked what works and what doesn't. As far as I know, I'm not aware of exactly how this operates on the droid X as far as multitouch, but yes multitouch does work in terms of what i expected. the keyboard will recognize another letter after one finger has just touched one. But the & thing on the keyboard, idk how to fix

There is no porting involved as stated in his post. He merely ripped it from a Droid X rom I'm guessing.

Lol its not that simple. If u notice in the keyboard if u press ?123 it shows & instead of &. That shows he decompiled the app.
Refer to this thread where i "ported" it. Link
Basically to port this app u gotta remove the shared uid and resign it. But that screws up the & symbol, hence once u modify wht u gotta do is replace the res folder of the modified apk with that of the original apk, resign and install.
I don't know much about developing guys honestly. I just downloaded the Droid X dump, did a little bit of reading and got this thing to work.
the sad part is lol, in spite of all that hard work i did(well hard for me at least), i just found out Droidlife posted a droid x keyboard as well :|....

lol yes it loads, but all you have to do is wait because it is not doing the animation so it looks like it is frozen. i was patient and tested saying "Hello how are you man" and it picked it up exactly word for word. I tested and know vibrate doesn't work but that was never an issue for me because I don't ever use vibrate (it can cause lag and slightly eats battery life).
