[Q] How to update Swype Keyboard

I am getting to really like using the Swype keyboard but would also like to use the voice-to-text feature.
My Swype keyboard is version 1.57.32.7688
My wife's Samsung Epic has Swype keyboard version 1.61.37.8224 and she has the voice-to-text integrated into her keyboard.
How can I upgrade my keyboard to the most current version?
You can't update Swype since it's built into the OS but Froyo will have a newer version of Swype which, keeping my finger crossed, will be released within a month.
Or you could try the leaked version but I've found the voice input to be spotty at best.

Keytrace 2.2.1

Hello,
I have rooted my phone and noticed a application listed in titin backup keytrace 2.2.1 what is this application?
It comes with Samsung's TouchWiz UI, but I have no clue what it actually does. I think it may relate to the Swype keyboard.

Android Keyboard for GB? (Not Multitouch)

So I was wondering if anyone has been able to load the Android Keyboard (AOSP?) on their phone running GB. I like this keyboard for a number of reasons, but mainly the fact that it auto-corrects some words automatically that the multi-touch keyboard does not for some reason.
For example:
- If I type im, it auto corrects it to I'm.
- If I type wer, it auto corrects it to we're.
- If I type il, it auto corrects it to I'll.
I know most of you think this might be a bit silly, but I got used to this keyboard and typing this way before GB, and believe it or not these little shortcuts allow you to type/text a lot faster on the phone.
Last night I flashed my phone from CM4DX back to Official GB, and I tried flashing the keyboard being used with CM7 (Android Keyboard) but it won't work on GB. Not only does it not work, but I have now lost the Multi Touch keyboard and I can't seem to get it back unless I do a factory reset. I'm currently using Swiftkey X, but I still don't like it as much as the original Android Keyboard.
If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

This is the Gingerbread keyboard in an apk. You can install it along side your current system keyboard.

[Q] X10 default android 1.6 keyboard

Hey guys,
I recently upgraded to Android 2.3 but I can't work with the keyboard there, so I want my old x10 android 1.6 keyboard back.
Maybe the apk is still lying on the phone somewhere? Or any ideas where I can download it please?
I tried like 5 different keyboards from the market as well but all the same, I tend to miss the buttons...the 1.6 keyboard was working perfectly.
thanks for your help.
Im looking for it too! I believe it was ported to 2.1 but not 2.3

[Q] Question about Alternative keys on Jelly Bean 4.2 Keyboard?

So at the moment I have 3 stock android 4.2 keyboards on my stock rom S3. One is the apk that was leaked, the other are the two available on the play store. They are all similar, but I was wondering why only the keyboard on the "Johntanmi" version had alternative keys on every key, while the VLLWP and APK only have alternative keys on the first row, that are just numbers?
I attached some comparisons, just curious to see what version is actually stock android?
