Hi all, its my first post here.
Few days ago i installed that rom to my X8: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964223
Everythings is fine, but i dont like keyboards which are provided with that rom, like HTC_IME mod and android keyboard.
I installed swype, swithkey, but it works for a while and later i cant use it anymore, even if i reboot or enable/disable keyboards.
Any ideas how to make it?

Swype I believe, is still in Beta (or it was recently). Bound to be some issues there, as I had the same running stock Froyo. Worked for a week, then started shooting blanks (input worked, but no letters appeared)
More than enough replacement keyboards in the market. But maybe the issue is with your ROM?
Same problem with my slideit keyboard
you shall ask other who using the rom if they met the same problem?
This sounds like a rom issue.
Thank me if this helped!

Woohoo! I wanted to make an announcement that although Swype is still in beta, it is now available for Free for Android owners (that meet requirements) and are accepting new beta signups!
Got the following update from the official Swype website:
Swype is pleased to offer an (updated) Android Beta!
Here are the details:
* In English, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, German, and introducing French and an early, *UNSTABLE* preview release of Chinese Pinyin
* Now includes support for Double-Tap-to-Edit, Cursor Restore, and Voice-to-Text (requires Google Voice Search be included in your system firmware)
* HVGA, WVGA, and WVGA854 Resolutions - don't worry we'll detect this automatically. Sorry, no QVGA
* Limited End User Support - mostly via our forum
* If your phone came pre-installed with Swype
DO NOT download this beta (it won't work)

I have an in-depth writeup of Swype at http://jonsuh.com/2010/11/swype-never-tap-to-type-on-your-phone-again/
You must still register at http://beta.swype.com/ to receive the link for the download.
Thanks, but why is this in the development section?

Umm, because it's still beta and historically a lot of devs have built on the apk?

Woops! Was checking through the development section and forgot to switch out, haha, my bad. Admin was gracious enough to move it.

Actually, I'm glad you figured that out. I changed from a Desire Z port to one of Lou's (which is great anyway). There have been other instances this has come up for me as I usually turn Mobile mode off.
Thanks!

Thanks! I've been waiting forever to get my wife signed up. I can't live without Swype.
any other Droid Inc users having issues with this beta?
Everytime I reboot my phone the swybe keyboard loses swype ability, still allows touch type though, and I have to reinstall to regain it.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I've had that issue as well.
The fix I found was to switch the input method back to the stock keyboard and switch back to swype. It should start working like normal again without having to reboot and reinstall swype.

I had this problem no not than a week ago. I don't believe I for anything different, but its working upon reboot now lol. Rather odd. But yeah, just change input method then change it back to Swype as someone else said.

Yes the reboot phone-no longer Swyping issue is all over the Swype forum and is well known by their development team. It's pretty annoying, but the switching input mode "fix" works everytime.

Nope. I still have it, and I think that it is still a known issue with Swype. It doesn't happen too often on my install of CM7, but it has happened a few times. It is annoying but I love Swype, so since it's so intermittent, I can deal with it.
Agreed. It's just one of things you know you're going to have to do when you reboot.
I found another way around said issue. When Swype loses it's ability, long press>input method>chose another keyboard>long press>input method>chose Swype. Fixed.
Im using a themed swype that i found on someones twitter even though im in the beta, the official beta swype wont work after a reboot like mentioned above, but the themed one had no issues when rebooting.
Its based off an older build, but working is better than newest
thank you pieter3d
I used Swype for a long time, but ended up switching to SwiftKey for the day-to-day because it was more accurate and less annoying. I still love swyping, I just wish it had predictive capabilities.
Then I started flashing hella ROMs and now I can't get Swype to activate properly on MIUI, because MIUI doesn't disable keyboards the way that Swype wants it to. This forced me off of Swype... not to mention Swype having the no-longer-swyping-after-rebooting or no-longer-swyping-because-of-random-bull**** issues.
As soon as SwiftKey implements swiping, Swype is toast. It's up to the Swype devs to fix their hamfisted licencing issues. And while they're at it, implement skinning and design prettier skins.
Here are two of the onscreen keyboards that I use on a daily basis, swype is also a great alternative but posts with swype links have been shut down by the mods so the best thing to do is to sign up for the beta program directly here or use google
Of course to install these for now you can go to the thread created by me on xda here to sideload the .apks
These are both being used currently on my 2.2.1 Rom with zero issues.
Thanks to all that have made these programs possible, we truly appreciate the hard work.

Swype is nice but inputting email addresses and passwords are somewhat of a hassle.
I prefer HTC_IME as the tap to text option of the two because of the word prediction software that is always on point.
Its hard to compare swype vs. the one above because they are completely different ways of using your onscreen keyboard.
The HTC ime mod is the best. I don't like the clunky stock keyboard the inspire had. Plus the layout was shifted from other virtual keyboards. The mod keyboard give you the ability to customize so much. Including the layout.

The Gingerbread KB worked fine on my HTC Dream / G1.
Thats weird, I didnt get around installing it on the Inspire yet so maybe Ill have to edit the OP and take that link to the app off if more continue to report the FC.
For those having issues just unistall it and use the other options listed please.

I just noticed that it FC's when you have different languages enabled in the settings. If you don't tinker with the settings at all (default) it will work, but I mainly write in English and Spanish and is the main reason why I installed it to begin with...
never mind it FC's as default as soon as you try to type the first letter...
trying the one on the market in a minute...
Tried the one on the market and it even has more features than the one in the forums, I highly recommend it...
swype wont install
i got the .apk for the swype installer and sideloaded it, but now, every time i run the installer it still tells me that the install is blocked...how did you guys get past that without having the ACTUAL keyboard .apk (not the installer .apk)

Like I said in the OP google is your friend, lol.
We cant post up swype .apks, its prohibited.
i understand that, and thats totally fine...but how the heck do i install it? i got swypeinstaller.apk to install fine. but after that it attempts to download and install the swype.apk from the server and it tries to install it, and thats where it gets blocked. so im trying to figure out how to install the swype.apk that was downloaded through the swype installer, when i cant find any temp file or anything that just says swype.apk

This is where you might want to contact swype directly.
That would be my best advice for you.
I'm working on getting the Gingerbread keyboard working.
That sentence just doesn't feel right to me.

Download this.
How did you install swype, in bullet point. Mine went like this
-registered on swype's website
-downloaded swypeinstaller.apk
-used sideloading wonder machine to install swypeinstaller.apk
-opened swype installer app
-logged into swype's server
-downloaded the 2.5MB swype (english/spanish)
-got the install blocked error, gave option to go to settings or cancel (obviously settings does nothing because we cannot check "unknown sources")
I'm not new to this stuff, and i've had HTC phones before, so i really doubt i did anything wrong, and i cannot accept the fact that the phone i purchased on launch day is blocked more than anyone elses phone that also got it on launch day. Im not being a jerk, but the only people that can help are the awesome devs on XDA, so help lol prease
So I've seen through posts that users are having mixed results with Swype, some have no problem while others have the auto space problem (such as I do). I miss Swype and can't stand not using it. My question being, has anyone found a fix or hack to get it to work and fix the auto space bug?
I know I can use slide-it and other market apps but I've tried them and they just aren't the same.

Works perfect, thanks. IDK how I didn't find that earlier.
I just like having normal keyboard but people change there minds all the time
I had problems with auto spacing until I flashed cm7 pre-alpha and had to re-download swype beta. Now everything works great.
I still like my gingerbread keyboard, but sometimes I'm lazy and swype is in. It's nice to have the option.
Sent from my Thunderbolt running Cyanogen Mod 7 and drod cm 1.8ghz kernel.
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.

Two days ago, I went to Swype a text message and it told me I need to update. Long story short, I tried updating through the Swype settings, I've tried downloading the Swype installer and install Swype beta, so far nothing has worked and it's driving me crazy. Normal texting is unbearable. Some one please tell me you have a solution! Thank you
Edit: thought I should add I can't install Swype Beta cause the installer tells me Swype Beta cannot be installed on a device that comes with Swype default. I don't understand why it stopped working and said I have to update but then it wont let me. Also I'm using skyROCKeteer rom. Stock kernel.
Uninstall Swype with titanium bu before running the installer.
Thanks Jeff, that got Swype beta working, really miss the sprint style Swype though haha.
