ShapeWriter in the market.

So I have been seeing everyone talking about swipe on the forums. Then everyone was saying there copy expired so I found ShapeWriter in the market and I do have to say its awesome. Real easy to install and use. Both my gf and I live it. I would never ever ever ever ever go back to the regular keyboard again. Its free and they have2. Versions. One says beta for hero I think is for our old1.5 the other one says ShapeWriter keyboard get that one for 2.1 version. Once again works great.

I'm not paying for another app. Already purchased UltraKeyboard. It's ok.. but really annoying at times too..
I really wish I had never used Swype.. it's like giving a piece of candy to a kid and telling them they are not allowed to eat it!

Yea, mine quit also.
Any thoughts? I'm pretty much going crazy over here.
I would gladly pay in upwards of 10 to 15 bucks for this one, drives me nuts that they won't just give it to us...not even for some $$.

Yea im thinkinh its got something to do with the whole sold it to oem's. Kinda rediculous and very apple–ish if i must say so.

Should we start working on breaking the time limit on the beta app?

Do a search in the droid incredible forums. There's working swype apks there. Using it right now. Maybe it will work on your phone.

I installed Swype on an Android HTC HD2 just yesterday and I began the download from the private mail sent from them (I had registered here http://beta.swype.com ) and it actually WORKS fine.

why are swype taking so long to get out of beta?
slide it works great..almost no bugs.give it a shot

Which texting method do you like best?

Which texting method do you like best? Swype, SwiftKey, or FlexT9?
Personally I loved swype when it came out, then when Swiftkey came out I liked that better and changed to that now, (the free app of the day on the amazon app store is FlextT9 so grab it today cuz it's 4.99 regularly) I started using this FlexT9 and I'm not %100 sure yet but so far I'm really liking it, Maybe even better than swiftkey, it's pretty nice, I recommend you at least try it. Like I said, today only it's free on the amazon appstore, so it won't cost you anything to give it a try.
after using it a little while here I noticed this little wierd swirly looking key at the bottom of the keyboard and I didn't know what it did so I pressed it and that makes it so you can text with your voice, and it works perfectly. I sent about 10 texts using it and it pics up what I say correctly every time. I'm definitely making a permanent change to FlexT9.

I loved using swype after I got used to it but for some reason it just got boring for me. I've been using the Gingerbread stock keyboard for months now. Love the look and the speed.

Swype. It requires some practice but done that it's great.

I first got swype when it first came out, I found that it worked much better on my Droid then it does on my Thunderbolt. Then I was using Better Keyboard 8 for the longest, but FlexT9 is my new favorite by far. its pretty awesome and so far I haven't had any problems. and it spell correct is the best compared to the other two also. The Better Keyboard had terrible auto correct, it was like I was drunk texting for something.

Swype always. I couldn't even stand my G2's keyboard after Swyping for over a year.

The one that gets modded and themed to match whatever is currently on my phone. Which had been mainly swype so far.

I like swype, but I ahve to admit I've never tried SwiftKey nor FlexT9. BTW, it seems like swype can be laggy sometime. Perhaps I should text out SwiftKey and FlexT9.

I like Swype, but you loose time if the word is unknown. I tried SwiftKey and 10 minutes later I already decided to purchase it from the Market. And the comming version 2 seems to be even better in predicting the next word that you want to type.

I use all 4 ways! Swipe, On screen keyboard, phyical keyboard, and voice... They all have their needs...

I've gone down the same road as this. I keep switching it up because I get bored with one.

I think SwiftKey is the best way.

Tried many but swiftkeys is best imo. Waiting for the long promised themes though.

Hardware keyboard for sure

Gingerbread stock for me fingers to big

Swiftkey, by a long shot.. Had I known it existed prior to buying an Android phone with a physical keyboard, I would have skipped the physical keyboard altogether.. I barely ever use my physical keyboard on my Evo Shift 4G..

HTC_IME is Swype capable!

Sorry if this has been posted, I searched and found nothing. Anyways, I got my phone last night and have not installed swype yet. I unlocked it today and went to reply to a text. Used to using swype on my MT4G I just started swyping on the HTC keyboard and it worked. Its Swype capable. Works pretty good, swype itself works a little better but for those of us that want HTC's keyboard for typing and swype ability now we have it!

I think you are using "trace"... HTC's version of swype.
it's not very good.
sign up for the swype beta and install it. you'll be much happier.

Called Trace, it's a start. Swype 3.0 beta is a vast improvement though.

Ah, yes, your right. I just went into settings. I didn't know about trace before. I haven't use IME in a long time. Been using swype for the last 8 months.
As I said, it works ok, has some issues. Swype is better but I hate they keyboard layout (i.e. number locations) versus IME when regular typing. I will install swype.

[Q] (Q) Best Keyboard For AT&T One X

anyone have any suggestions for a keyboard? i don't like the stock one so im using smart keyboard since i already bought it when i had my atrix 2. only problem is its not ics friendly yet. in landscape mode the settings bar cuts off the last keys down the right side of the keyboard when texting and it doesn't fully stretch across the screen when using a browser. i know it because it hasn't been updated to support ics fully yet (im guessing that's true) but i like the look and feel of it has a lot of customizations. any suggestions?

i cant get myself to stop using Thumb Keyboard.....i have it on all my devices and i find it to be one of the best keyboards for me...love the customizations it has from themes, to size of keys, to layout...

I've used SwiftKey ever since it's inception...

I've gone to the SwiftKey on both my Galaxy 8.9 and my One X. I really like it.

Swiftkey, really good

I really like Swype, but maybe I'm just so used to it now (been using it since it came out). HTC's keyboard isn't bad though. Swiftkey is pretty good as well. I'm using djdarkknight's stock ics themed version of Swype currently.

Swiftkey 3 beta

Stock ics keyboard the best in my opinion, the one from the market is glitchy at times ( 100 people will reply that it is not, but there wrong ) if u wanna try it what i did is download cyanogen (cm9) http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=maguro&type=nightly, then extract the LatinIME.apk file and install on ur htc . Its in the system/ app folder and I used root explorer to extract . You can find the exact same file online if you search for it but if you extract it yourself you know where its Been .....

I've been using Thumb Keyboard for almost a year across multiple devices but I am anticipating the Swiftkey 3 release. (I know there is a free beta but I'm waiting for it to be official)
Quick question, does anyone know if Swiftkey 3 will be an update to Swiftkey X (which I've already purchased) or are they going to release it as a separate app?

Normally I don't care for Go Keyboard, but it's been pretty responsive with the One X and I've been liking it a bit better than my swype keyboard.

Will be a free upgrade. Information based on their own forum.

Ice cream sandwich keyboard by Binary Bulge works great for me, if you're used to the iPhone keyboard then this keyboard will be very easy to use.

tossing in my vote for Swiftkey
more specifically Swiftkey X and now Swiftkey 3 (beta)
auto-prediction is awesome.

Thanks! I was able to find their Tweet about it after you mentioned they had said it themselves. Good to know.

Try Hacker's Keyboard... I loved it on my Captivate, Atrix and Galaxy Nexus. It's completely customizable and offers tons of options.
For the One X, I actually stuck with the stock keyboard for now, it's actually pretty good in my opinion.

I switched from Swiftkey to the stock ICS keyboard that's available on the market

I actually don't mind the htc keyboard on this phone, besides the arrow keys. That said, chalk another one up for Swiftkey 3 Beta. That keyboard is amazing.
