You can always switch input methods when you want to use voice, and use the swype version we already have

Bump for Droid x version. Thanks for the other tho wanted to get that for a friend
The Droid X version would be great... but I it can be even forced to work on the EVO, since I'm sure the resolutions are different.

The droid x multi touch keyboard was ported to evo already so I'm sure swype can be
Bump, I'd like this as well
+5 I to would really like to have the SWYPE version from the droid x with the mic button!! The funny part is that the droid x has already been dumped and what not so how hard is it to to get it to work an put into an .apk file?? I wish I knew how or I'd do it lol... but it's already been done with there muti-touch kb and other ports have come from the new Galaxy S phones of different apps!!
i have a droid x at work, ill see if there is a way to pull swype off it. i already got NFSShift off it, but it doesnt run right on the evo you cant see anything
Ok I have it, I'll upload it when I get home. Some work will have to be done though, I tried installing it and it keeps crashing. Maybe we can just use the microphone button from it.

Someone had uploaded it already somewhere, I think maybe over at the androidforum boards... But it wasn't right on the boards, it was on a Moto Droid downloads page. I remember I saved the link to download it later but before I got the chance they had taken it down and listed it as "expired"... I dunno if the phone shipped with a version that expired shortly thereafter or what, I'd imagine it'd have to be replaced w/an updated version anyway.
I'd love to have this, lack of a voice input button is the only flaw I see in Swype (other than landscape typing, but Swype's just meant for vertical one-hand operation imo)... From what I understand they haven't officially implemented it across all devices because pressing the voice command button in certain text fields within the OS would cause an error, but it can't be that hard to adjust this.
They already do some other context-sensitive adjustments (like no spaces on the URL address bar or a browser).
BUMP. i need it too. i will search and if i find it ill gladly post it. btw,anyone have that x dump so i can check it out?
Just wanna say...me too!

That is so messed up... NFS Shift was demoed with the EVO and was supposed to come out on EVO release day, then EA just said nothing else about it.
Maybe Verizon just showed up at the EA doorstep with a bottle of wine and box of chocolates. I want that game.
Grrr....
bump
bump
thanks
ok here is swype for the Droid X, like i said if you try and install right now it doesnt work at all.
Bummer, guess that might be why DroidLife took it down from their download page... Anyone know if the voice command button on the Droid X is present in all text fields or just certain fields? Supposedly that was the holdup for implementing it across the board (hitting voice command in certain fields would cause errors), if they've fixed it for one phone they should've had a beta w/it for the rest of 'em by now! Hrm...
i believe its always there..... i can check tomorrow.
Was anyone ever able to get the Droid X Swype version installed on the EVO?
Maybe once the Epic 4G is release, that version of swype can be ported to the Evo? It is exactly like the Droid X and has the voice button next to the enter key. The resolution on the Epic is the same as the EVO
Nevermind...

I'm on t-mobile and really didn't want to give up my G1 until another Android phone was available with a hardware keyboard. However, I did just purchase the Nexus One (no plan... $80/month data was ridiculous) and was wondering if anyone has had any luck finding the CooTek TouchPal virtual keyboard?
I used to use it on my last (and only) WMo device and liked it. I know they released a beta in the android marketplace but stopped offering it because it was OEM software on the T-Mobile pulse and wasn't going to be re-released in the marketplace until after the launch of that phone.
Was hoping someone had an older copy that might be compatible w the N1.
I have 1.1.0. Not sure if that will work on the N1, but you're welcome to try it. PM me and I can send you a link.

Interesting. Thanks for that ... I'll definitely try it out.
Hi, I saw your post about TouchPal for android . Was wondering if I could get a link from u? I've been trying soo hard to find them for my n1. Appreciate it!!
It's available for me on the Singapore Android Market, searched for "touchpal" and it's the first of two options.
Yeah.. It's not as good as it was in WM, it lags a lot and has some quirkiness. I keep it installed to watch for updates.
I still type the fastest on the HTC IME..
This is an old thread. Hope you guys got on the swype beta. There's also swift key on the market.

It looks like my HTC keyboard is gone? I am using a very basic, I would think stock looking keyboard. How do I get the polished one back?
I use Smart Keyboard Pro and I use the white HTC keyboard. Well that one or the Samsung Galaxy S one (I loved it on my Vibrant). It also has the Android standard grey(ish) tint keyboard and iPhone as the 4 standard keyboards. you might want to check it out
*edit* oh I misunderstood your post I think. So are you talking about the Touch Input keyboard that comes installed already is missing??? That's the only polished one on there besides the Swype that comes standard. That dragon diction one is vile lol. If you lost one of the preinstalled keyboards I don't know what to say, sorry. I hope it gets resolved for you!
did a backup with titanium.. just found it. i can push it back on there now. good thing i backed up
Nope never mind. Can't get it back. Its htc touch input 2.0 or something. I can't get it back now. guess i'll never know until i can unroot and exchange device.
can anyone send me a link for the htc_ime that comes with the phone so i can get my keyboard back? apparently i didn't back up this file

I dont have the phone yet, just ordered it last night, but someone should be able to just adb pull it from their phone.
Edit: This isn't from the phone itself, but its working on my vibrant. Might work for you.
Just adb push /system/app
then reboot and it should be installed.
I just got mine today and I am hoping root (one click method) is made soon, I cant get adb on my machine.. but anways I too want my htc im keyboard back. I have used the link theinetnot posted, but I am not sure which version I am supposed to chose. Anyone know?

Hi all,
New to the Android scene. I have an iPhone3gs and am leaning towards the Inspire over the Atrix. Quick noob question. Can Swype be installed on this device?
Yes but
Unless you are rooted (which at least for now looks semi-difficult), you need to sideload it. I haven't had enough posts yet to post an outside link, but you can Google "install swype inspire" and the first hit should get you started.

easiest guide you'll find. Literally took me 5 minutes, and I've never run commands on a computer. Hardest thing was to find a torrent for WinZip lol
@antioch216: Thanks. That was the link I wanted to post!
It's very easy. Didn't take me all that long either. I used the Mac/Linux method and it was easy breezy.
Thanks for the link. One other question. What are your thoughts on Swype vs the stock keyboard? I've never actually used it myself but have heard lots of hype surrounding it.
Thanks!
Swype is really awesome I think. It's really easy to get used to. In my experience you only have to use one finger and it's pretty forgiving in terms of the letters you hit.

Swype is much faster for me once I got used to it.... except when it's messing up. Sometimes the autocorrect is just so bad that it would be faster to send the message in morse code, but that doesn't happen often.
i'm a big fan of swype.
Go here and you can download the beta version of swype to your phone http://www.swypeinc.com/

In that case go to your swype settings, and adjust your speed vs. accuracy and see what works best for you.

nope, no root required. I haven't rooted and I just followed the guide and now I've got Swype!
AT&T blocks the ability to download from other sources (sideloading) and so this program is essentially a work around, but doesn't disturb any original settings. So if anything happened to your phone, AT&T wouldn't know unless the employee knew about this stuff.
Just follow the guide, and you'll have Swype, it's pretty easy
cool beans ...tried it out and works real smooth....thnx

I believe every time you reset, you just have to change the input mode. It's just a default setting that isn't changeable to my knowledge. It happens to everyone
On my captivate, using Swype, when I pressed in the text area, I got a little button to move the cursor around. I get the same type little button with the default keyboard on my Inspire. With Swype, though, I get just a cursor, and I have to press and hold to magnify, more like an iphone. Is there any way to change that?

Im having a problem or a roadblock...im on my 3rd inspire due to crappy gps...but anyways i followed the instructions and it worked wvery time...now with my 3rd inspire i downloaded the swype installer but now it says that there is an update to the installer and now im stuck cause it wont let me update the installer cause att blocks the side loading apps...does anyone know the adb commands to load the new updated swype installer....thanks in advanced...
I posted on Swype forums a while back about the issue with Swype on this phone. They replied saying the auto space (which im guessing auto capitalization falls in the same catagory) does not work because HTC has made sense reply window treat the data entered by the user as a web address link - because noone wants spaces in their links. I have found that most people say cracking HTC's Sense code is almost impossible but i was wondering if someone could come up with a fix for this.
Whats the problem? Swype seems to work fine for me...

If you use Handcent or ChompSMS it works. But yeah, definitely fails on the stock Sense message app.
Using the evo updated version of swype resolves all issues seen in the thunderbolt beta.
Using the evo version here. It just doesn't have the voice icon on the keyboard.

i'm using it now on the thunderbolt and it's autospacing
I've installed and uninstalled this a half dozen times because of similar issues.
Something else I've noticed sporadically is that even when I do get it working properly using Handcent SOMETIMES I have to still manually type. Meaning it makes a trace mark, but the letters never pop up.
Now going to look for the EVO swype.

Yep, EVO swype was the best one that I've found. The only thing I can't get it to do is put the auto punctuation in after you double space. Other than that it works great.
EDIT: What I can't figure out is if the EVO version is nearly perfect...why doesn't Swype just take it and revise it a little? Or, I guess maybe they tried and messed it up even worse?
OP: PM me your email address.

The "EVO" version is a very very very old build
Swype UPDATE
Those issues mentioned in this thread have been fixed for the most part in the March update. SWYPE BETA v2.10.52.13753
Uninstall completely and reinstall this new package through the SWYPE site.
Shouldnt be too long for a full version Swype for Thunderbolt.
Today on Amazon it's free
I'm not sure if the pulled .apk would be considered warez, but since it is free for now...And not everyone lives in the US

Found swiftkey x on 4shared
DL'd it. don't know... didn't really see anything that impressed me all that much.
maybe I'm missing something. guess I have to play with it a bit more.
so far, still prefer swype.
but, it's free and I guess it's good to have the extra option for whatever reason.
can't go wrong with too many keyboard apps right?
Swype all day for me personally, especially since Swype 3 came out with qHD support
SwiftKey is genius. Easily the best keyboard available.

i like it, swype wasnt bad but i never got it on my sensation and i feel like i spent as much time swyping as deleting words. swift predicts very well, only problem i have is i hit the return buttton i think on occasion and make the keyboard go away
I already purchased, but my wife just got it for her g2x thanks...
Installed it just fine, and set it as the default, but I'm still getting the HTC keyboard.
