actually your thread was reported because (as it said in the subject) "cracked version" obviously thats a red flag for warez. anyhow as u mentioned the other threads on the subject were questionable. the only reason i let the threads remain was because they were all just links to beta trial versions. which imo wasnt so much warez. unfortunately when i brought the subject of swype up to the senior mods, i was told that the corp. that develops the app has sent XDA a order to stop posting their app. at that point the mods infomed me that i needed to remove all the sype threads. so thats what ive done. if ive missed one please let me know. anyhow thanks and have a good night

He also said that he'd be handing out suspensions for repeat offenses, just so everyone knows.
Here's XDA's official announcement.
Well, that sucks. I'm glad I have my copy. I don't know why Swype just doesn't put their app on the market. I'd a paid for it were there a trial version I could have tried. Personally, I love Swype and I don't know how I managed without it. The only thing I missed about my Blackberry when I switched was the typing. With Swype, my BB is a distant memory now.
Edit: Is Swype under contract with a certain carrier/manufacturer?

I think they have OEM contracts with most of the major manufacturers because we're seeing more and more handsets preloaded with Swype. They could still make bank off a Market version, though...
So...
Does this mean we have to either be in the beta or know someone in the beta to get a copy of swype now? That makes me sad.....

I agree. Hopefully they will put it on the market once those contracts expire so everyone can get it and have full support on it.
they really should just go market. i have a few different copies saved, dont know how many of them are expired or not. as long as i have one working copy, i'm good. once those expire though...... blah
I think it is crappy that if you want swype you have to purchase a phone you do not want to get it... shame on swype
That does stink. But those are the breaks. I guess it's back to keyboards that I can actually pay for.
Owned! I bet a lot of people really feel stupid right about now....

Man, that really ticks me off because I was really getting into themeing swype. My thread had over 4000 views in 3 days.....and tons of downloads. Oh well, at least I still have my Carbon Fiber versions to use.........I guess I'll have to move on to themeing something else.
P.S. Do not start posting asking me to PM you a link, or they will delete this thread too.
Hopefully one day they offer a paid version. I put Swype on my phone a while ago (before I switched to CM6... so it was probably 2 months ago?) and I liked it a lot. I'd gladly pay $2-3 for it or something like that.

Every time I see this guy (gqstatus0685) comment on anything, it's usually some BS. I was going to say something, but all that would happen was the thread would get cluttered with a bunch of nonsense.
Yea, we got owned. Owned so badly, that Swype had to come here and beg the forum to stop posting their app (that isn't supposed to be on our phones) on here. Sure........the devs/members from here, the ones who figured out how to put it on phones that weren't supposed to have it, are the ones that got "owned". Edit: Not to mention, like TheBiles said, we still HAVE Swype.
smh
No I get annoyed at the fact that people on XDA storm in on threads claiming OP's are breaking forum etiquette and rules and get mad when people call them out on their threads. It's just funny that's all.
So much for the idiot who said it was shareware to try and cloud the fact that it was warez.
Just FYI: when my last Swype .apk expired, I DL'd the SlideIT beta and played with it for a few days before I snagged a new Swype. While I definitely prefer Swype, SlideIT was definitely serviceable and way better than the stock keyboard.
So if you can't get your hands on Swype, give it a try. It's in the Marketplace.

Shapewriter is no longer in the Market. They pulled it quite some time ago when the ownership changed.
i never had the patience to get used to swype. i feel like i'm missing out. maybe i'll find it and try again.
If you post metamorph themes to swype then i believe those are fine, your just providing images to replace in it, not the actual APK

I checked the first 3 pages of the forums and didn't see this posted.
Here are some upcoming home replacements for Android. One name that should be familiar to us old WinMo users and a "newcomer."
http://www.tat.se/home/
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/pre...gs-support-for-symbian-and-android-along.html
they both look pretty cool but I think tathome looks like it might be a little more to my liking.
SPB isnt out yet, is tathome available yet, i didnt see a download.
+1 for TAT home it looks like it could be NICE I checked out the video (good music and all ;-)) here: http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/tat-home-the-gesture-powered-3d-home-screen-your-android-device/
I used SPB Mobile Shell 3.x with my Touch Pro and I wasn't too impressed.
*** EDIT ***
Here is a video of Mobile Shell http://pocketnow.com/tech-news/mwc-video-spb-mobile-shell-50-on-android IMO Mobile Shell is suffering from what it always has LAG!!!!! Even on the N1 it looked slow, maybe because it's BETA.

Yes there are a lot of different spec'd Android phones out there but I think he is referencing the fact that Android apps are easier to "warez" than the apps on other OS's. All you have to do is sign up for the paid app extract the .apk post it somewhere. Also any dev can try to "reverse engineer" the app, change a few components and BAM it's on the Market as their "original" creation. Just my .2 cents

that is correct. when swype was first leaked I was actually talking to them about the bennifits of releasing it through the market instead of through manufacturers and one of the biggest concerns that was brought up was the fact that security for apps is too lax. now dont get me wrong everyone knows that for every security mesure there is always a way around it but android security just sucks thats why for the most part people afften have a free version and a donate version. if people can try it and like it then they are more likely to buy it rather than just pirate it. setcpu is a perfect example of this. sure the dev could have made it a protected app (but being a member here at xda he probably knew it was pointless) but he offers it free here and then if you like you can buy from the market to donate to help keep him developing.
so basically all im saying is...ok we all (me included) have pirated apps but if you like the app make sure to go buy it from the market and help keep these people developing for us.
I know I went off on a rant there but without intrest in app development this great platform will fail.
I might be the only here without pirated apps then haha. I did have CoPilot once, but I didn't like it much so I got rid of it. The only time I ever use something pirated is to try it. If I like it and feel the developer should get credit, then fine, I'll donate/buy it.

same here the only thing I am using pirated right now is swype but thats only becuase there is no way to buy it. but thats also because im a cheap ass and maily use free apps unless I really find something useful but to date the only things that I have bought are setcpu and beautiful widgets. im trying cachemate now but it really doesnt seem to be very helpful. I wish I knew a little more about programing there is an app for the iphone that I would love to have on my hero.
i played around with "pandahome" some yesterday. it seems beta right now but they are apparently coming out with pandahome2 soon. it's a good idea, just not quite finished yet. (fc's and whatnot)
anyway you might go check it out (if your feeling froggy).
lots of options and skins ect.ect.ect.
marketplace. free.
So Swiftkey is pretty excellent.
The previous beta release sent to me was GOOD, but definitely not good enough to take over swype.
However, yesterday I received the latest APK and man, it's awesome.
It's incredibly fast and the text prediction is simply brilliant, the video is too conservative at the speed you can type.
It reminds me a LOT of touchpal, and I would love to see the swipe symbols implemented like they were in WinMo.
I recommend you guys head on over to their website here and try to sign up for the beta.
I used to be a huge Swype junkie, but I truly find this faster.
Check it out, you may like it.

I struggle with Swype but I see potential in the concept. I signed up for the beta. Thanks OP.
I'd be interested in seeing the super prediction done by Swiftkey, but I don't know... I'm getting better with and liking Swype more and more every day.
The learning system in Swype I think is what I like best. Some word isn't in the dictionary? Just type it in and it's added. No asking, no popup window, it's just there next time you use it.

Android Central featured both Swype and Swiftkey in a review here:
http://www.androidcentral.com/android-centrals-keyboard-roundup
He seemed to prefer Swiftkey as well.
What version is swiftkey up to now? The last one I used was 0.9.3 I think..
I received an email and downloaded the latest version (.9.13) but I am unable to get it to install on DC. I am very impressed with the prediction but it is a litle laggy. Glad to hear the update is faster (if I can get it to work).
Waiting for me email

PM me if you want the swype or swiftkey apk.
i have tried both and only wish swiftkey would do a better pridiction for surrounding letters. swype imo is faster for typing and more accurate. i would love to see swiftkey guess the words better with more choices of guess words. that would make me switch.
swiftkey v0.9.14
I'm on SwiftKey .9.15. It is excellent, but I have two MAJOR complaints:
1. No custom dictionary. Really? What is this, a 2004 Nokia phone? I thought these were called SMART phones
2. It cannot for the life of it figure out verb tense. If I write a future-tense sentece, it'll suggest a past-tense verb and a present-tense verb, but I have to type the future-tense verb out. It's ridiculous.

You guys might have heard of this, but you may have not. It's a keyboard app, sort of similar to the iPhone's keyboard, that learns your writing style from the words you frequently use when you text. If you guys want it, download it here. Enjoy!

There's the last SwiftKey thread. As was said by intx, you can't link to the download. It's a closed beta.
But, yes, it is a magnificent keyboard. I love the usage statistics. According to it, I've saved 403 keystrokes, making me 21% more efficient

I signed up about two weeks ago and got my first e-mail two days ago. They just send out e-mails every time they make a significant update, I think. I'm pretty sure they just send it out to everyone on the list. You'll just have to wait a while, but it is definitely worth the wait. It's (nearly) the best keyboard I've ever used.

Wow...the level of hypocrisy on XDA is just astounding. You have people playing the warez police (some of them moderators, some not) in every thread when someone even asks about an app but none of them mention anything about the "tweaks" and "fixes" to get tethering for free which is flat out ripping off the mobile providers (not that I'm crying for Verizon, AT&T, Sprint etc). I get that they have to cover their asses and distributing warez on XDA is not a road they ought to go down, but to **** a brick when somebody links to an article that links to yet another site where an app may be located is just asinine, especially while deliberately overlooking things like unlocking free tethering which is basically theft of service.
Back on topic, I kind of see this as counter-intuitive. As said before, Swype makes more sense because it improves on something we already know how to use vastly. This is like reinventing the wheel. Almost literally.
Everyone referring to warez and hypocrisy, please sh.
Anyway, I kinda agree with yall. The way it works is simple enough, and it doesn't take as long as you'd think to learn where the keys are. Just like swype, it takes time to get used to. Literally with ten minutes I've got it down, just by typing the same couple of words over and over again. The key behind this is that it becomes a muscle memory process of thoughts to words, without the middle ground of a keyboard layout.
I'm still the world's biggest advocate for swype, but I'll sure give this a chance.
Its just a 1.50

The website and forum are offline, and people over on Android Forums are reporting that their version of Launcher Pro has 'expired'. Anyone know anything?
Mine is working
Not getting the expired message but wanted to search the launcher pro forums for an issue I have and get a 403 Forbidden page.
My LauncherPro is working fine, it seems these posters may have downloaded something - two threads so far, but one of the guides said these reports are popping up all over the place. Be careful what you download and install!
a coworker of mine had the issue today of the launcher actually expiring and had no way out of his browser, and i guess the launcherpro website was down? anyway, I'm just reposting the link from another website, since I typically come to xda to find answers to stuff like this... either manually type this into your ANDROID browser, or if you could somehow make it to this page from your phone, just click this link... from your phone lol
market://search?q=pnamerg.adw.launcher
it is the direct adwlauncher link to the android market!
hope this helps! =)
My LPP is also working fine. ADW or GO launchers would work for people with issues. I was also able to get to the site just fine (launcherpro.com), but yes, the forums were down.
Most likely a switch to a different server or hosting company, or website update. That's the simplest explanation.

Same with me - no problems.
Here's an update
Seems the developer has screwed up on this one. From this post on Android Forums (this is Fede speaking):
That's my bad actually, I didn't realize that if you had an old LP Beta set as your default, you wouldn't be able to use it to open the market to download a newer version after it expired.
Future versions will automatically send you to the market to get the new version. At this point, the only thing you can do is install ADB and use it to install a newer version, or use ADB to uninstall LP and then install from the market again.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
He's generating a lot of ill will from this.
For some reason, a small percentage of LP users decided to be idiots and not update the app for the last month (0.8.2 came out Dec. 7th) and now the previous version has expired.

No, that isn't the problem. They're running an old beta that has expired. Those who use the market version, and those who paid for the app, aren't having the problem.
Can anyone access the launcherpro website? I get a blank page. This is really weird because Fede is usually very responsive.
Fede seems to be hiding, this is a PR disaster for him. The best thing to do at this point is to be forthcoming, own up to it, and give clear instructions on how to fix it.

I have to agree, Fede needs to own up to whatever this problem is. Even though I think the vast majority of LauncherPro users like myself have no problem, we keep the app updated and got it from the market. I wonder if this will effect his re-write of LauncherPro he has been promising?
Fede is doing a complete Rewrite.
Changes take time.....Not, everything is as easy and as fast as we would all like it to be.
Complications do happen. Its part of the game.
Be Patient......I'm sure he will get it all fixed soon enough.

With all due respect, This is more than a little 'complication'. Rewrites do take time, but if your customer base has lost faith in your product because you don't show excellenct support on a critical app like a launcher, you won't have anyone to rewrite for...

Who said it wasn't? The point is, his program is everywhere on Android phones, many people who have no technical skills at all have it, and it seems to have 'broken' their phones. His lack of statement regarding the problems and offering workaround for it are the problem. As for 'finding another launcher to moan about' really? That's all it is, the consumer's fault?

I will say I haven't found him to be very forthcoming with assistance - then again, until now (and still, for me), there haven't been issues like this that needed addressing. My only point is he needs to get in front of this and fix it or yes, his reputation will be damaged for many. Not you, not me, but there are plenty of others who are extremely unahppy.
Apparently Lifehacker has been in touch with Fede or found a response somewhere on the interwebs.
