Changelog for SwiftKey 2.0.2.8
- Redesigned installer process
- Redesigned settings menu
- SwiftKey shortcut launcher on keyboard
- New typing styles: Precise (identical to Classic), Rapid (similar to Rapidfire)
(Note: you can reproduce "Manual" with "Space will always insert a space" in advanced)
- Text handling improvements (fixed doubledouble bug, etc. + general stability improvements)
- Improved dark theme
We need your feedback, especially on how the new installer and settings UI works for you, and also on how the text handling works.
Known Issues
Installer personalization loop
We currently know there is an issue if you enable and set the keyboard to default before going through the installer wizard – if you try to use any personalization features, these will load another instance of the installer whenever you try to enter text. Please complete all steps of the installer wizard in the order they are presented to avoid this problem.
Whatsapp
Some installations on Android 2.2 or lower when using Whatsapp have a text handling bug with this version of SwiftKey. It appears to come from a bug in the coding of Whatsapp, but we're looking into this.
Hard keyboard in browsers
There are some bugs with hard keyboards in browsers. Please report issues you have in this regard.

Just tried for 10 minutes..
It´s very nice, new installer is easy, settings UI simple to understand , and also text handling fast.
Congrats!
(When u add sliding feature [like FlexT9, Sywpe,..] I will test again )

I just got the email this morning. It's pretty great. I prefer the standard android keyboard because I don't really use the extra features of other keyboards, but I've liked swiftkey since the beginning.
Sent from my CM7 SCH-i500

That keyboard looks really sharp way nicer than Swype's or FlexT9's. Wish it had tracing capabilities then it be perfect.

wow, it support my mother language right now, great

AMAZING APP!!
REALLY DESERVE 5 STARS!!
it has Indonesian dictionary,
while many keyboard apps don't!
AND WHAT REALLY IMPORTANT IS:
it can import my sms sentbox, facebook status and wallpost as suggestion words!
SO the words suggestion is JUST REALLY LIKE what i usually type to wrote a sentence.
because in my country (and i believe not just happen on my country),
there's a different words for general-formal conversation, and everyday conversation.
and in my country is an unique, every region or island has its native language as a daily conversation, not just Indonesian.
with this app, it is the problem solver, for a daily-use-conversation keyboard app.
i love you guys
the other keyboard apps just using general-formal words for the suggestion,
but this app, definetely better, because it can use your daily words conversation as a words suggestion. i really like it.
i can type so fast with my android!
but, my question:
the one and only problem is, how can i disable auto-capitalization?

Aww missed the signups..

I'm from Indonesia. It is really great that swiftkey now support Indonesian. I've been using swiftkey since beginning use of my first Android phone. Now it is getting better. Good job.

I just find that you still have to type pretty precisely for the prediction or auto correct to really take effect.
I do really like that you can use your own background though.
I am going to stick with this for a bit, I find sometimes these keyboards get better the longer you use them.

auto capitalization doesn't seem to be working. just thought I'd let you know..
The custom background is a nice feature, as is the transparency setting...really opens up the theming possibilities.

The haptic feedback on long delete gets kind of obnoxious. It would be nice if that switched to one vibe per word on long press delete.

A good idea...a width setting to go with the height setting would be nice also for those of us with narrow screens. Very cool though. Any plans on a "swype-ish" interface?

A Swype interface is a whole other ball game. No current plans but I will consider it in future versions if enough users demand it.
Others have asked for a width setting but how would that work? The keyboard is already the full width of the screen. How would you make it wider?

The auto-caps behavior in Opera and UC is by design. A keyboard is only supposed to use auto-caps if the app requests it, and Opera and UC do not request it for any fields. SwiftKey X behaves the same way, but Swype other keyboards seem to ignore the request and auto-cap everything. Personally I think the keyboard should respect the app's request but I am open to other arguments!
I could not reproduce your second bug report in UC browser. I saw predictions when I typed in a text field on m.facebook.com and m.google.com. When sites did you try?

This site, though it was on UC 8 beta. Might be why
Very promising keyboard!
Haptic feedback on long press delete is, as previously stated, a trauma tho! Reckon the entire word delete on long press would be a good idea - also an "Extra Short" setting for the haptic would be cool since I'm on a Desire and the haptic is extreme!!!

Yes that was it. Amazingly, UC8 sets the "no suggestions" flag for ALL text fields. I don't see suggestions in UC8 with any keyboard I tried. This is a bug report for UC8!
As for auto-caps, UC8 doesn't request it either, but SwiftKey X seems to always use auto-caps in multi-line text fields, which makes a lot of sense to me. Look for this in the next version of TypeSmart!
Scoobysnacks you have been very helpful and I really appreciate it. Let me know if I can ever do anything for you.

No problem my friend, just want to give me as much objective feedback as I can.
I think this keyboard is headed for greatness!
I'm liking this so far! I was using Touchpal but it's been kinda wonky since they updated to 5.1 so this is my new default. Good job man!

I will demand it in advance! Hahaha...but seriously, on the width settings, either the ability to manipulate the gaps between the keys or even just being able to widen the font might help me type with more confidence.

Nice app. I like the clean UI.
Nice app, has a lot of potential!
Keep Going!
Good work, keep going
Tried a few similar apps like this one in the past... Definitely like this one the most. However, one feature that I wish was added is the ability to add our own, custom icons. Will that feature ever be included in the feature?

I missed this post, sorry for a late reply...
Well, I appreciate your help but right now I'm not thinking about translations. It would probably help me and more people would probably use it...
But...
I have lots of features planned and lots of releases will come in the near future, it would be a pain to maintain translations done by other people. I would have to wait for them to finish their translation before being able to release a new version.
For now, I want to avoid that. When the app reaches a more mature state, I'll think about adding a couple more languages.
Again, thanks for your help anyway.
Is there any updates for this app?

Full background updating, image previews are supported, twitlong, and yes and yes.
What about adding the "Reply All" feature in the single tweet visualization? I'm trying to reply to multiple people on one tweet and the default option only adds one user. I can see that on the main timeline "Reply All" is implemented so I'm guessing it shouldn't be much trouble!
Every time I click a #word, it does a search for that word which is good, but the keyboard also springs up. No big deal, but it would be nicer if the keyboard would stay down in that case.

Really looking good! But says thats its not compatible with my Galaxy Nexus will try some work arounds.
Some preset themes would be good as I don't like the white it the tweet list. Alternatively/as well you could make it integrate with peoples theme Chooser themes
Great so far though!

Good clean interface, excellent idea to choose your own color themes on the option, however, as is normal in the early betas and closes only fails to want to open the tweet, or trying to log in, outside of that very good initiative soon expect to see direct messages, push notifications, user blocking, integration with social networks! congratulations to the dev.

[APP][2.1+] Appsi sidebar, a plugin supported sidebar application

September 13th
Today I released Appsi 1.5. This release includes the following new features:
1. A new (100% free and a part of Appsi itself) page in the sidebar with support for
- App widgets in the sidebar
- Home plugins (Appsi specific plugins, more below)
- DashClock extensions
2. Full freedom in placing the hotspots and the amount of them.
3. Fast scrolling support
4. More cutomizations and look & feel options
5. Music player controls (with special thanks to xda member Dr.Alexander_Breen for his excellent guide)
.. And a lot more.
September 4th (beta 1.4.21):
It's been a while and I think it is time to give you all a little update on what's going on behind the scenes in beta. I am working on fixing the issues that are left and hope to release the upcoming version as Appsi 1.5 soon.
I have got tons of new cool features coming up. To name a few:
1. A new (100% free and a part of Appsi itself) page in the sidebar with support for
- App widgets in the sidebar
- Home plugins (Appsi specific plugins, more below)
- DashClock extensions
2. Full freedom in placing the hotspots and the amount of them.
3. Fast scrolling support
4. More cutomizations and look & feel options
5. Music player controls (with special thanks to xda member Dr.Alexander_Breen for his excellent guide)
.. And a lot more.
The Home Plugins are small extensions to the home tab/plugin. The are small plugins you can add to the home tab in Appsi. They can be used to show things like, missed calls count, launching certain intents and a lot more. There is an open source sample project with docs on Github. And there's some instructions right here.
If you are looking for screenshots, take a look in the G+ beta community.
July 30th: Version 1.4 released
Last weekend I updated Appsi to version 1.4
New features:
1. Customize the size of the text and icons
2. Change the spacing between the items
3. Global search
4. New icon
July 15th: Version 1.3.3 in beta.
Very small amount of changes for this beta. Moving to production on 18th if no issues arise.
1. Option to minimize the notification. (no icon and smallest possible notification, no extra actions etc)
2. Bug fix for android 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 devices, causing crashed with hardware acceleration enabled.
3. Fix issue with long texts on items in the sidebar when there is a title and a description. The title will now also have ellipsis.
July 13th: Version 1.3 released.
Today I moved version 1.3 from beta to production. The following changes are probably going to make 1.4:
Improved search: Search through all apps, even if the section is disabled. If you have plugins, search will include all results from all plugins.
Live folder support in Appsi (add a live folder as if it is a plugin)
If you have a suggestion, just let me know.
Also I will add new translations once they have been completed. This is just a matter of time. If you would like to help out, pm me.
July 6th: Version 1.3 beta released.
I just finished uploading the new beta version of Appsi to Google play. This new version contains the following new features:
Proper favorites manager
Contextual action bar to perform actions on long press.
Switch plugins by swiping left or right on the sidebar
Updates to all plugins for the contextual actions
Fixes:
Fixed a bug in the icon caching mechanism
This is a beta release, so for now only accessible for beta testers (wanna be a beta tester? let me know). This version will most likely move to production within one week.
July 1st: version 1.2.4 was released
Although it may not sound like a big update, This version adds support for the following new features:
* transparency in the sidebar
* the ability to choose a background image for the sidebar
* Choice between light and dark theme
* Improved the way to get the data from the plugins.
* Improved user experience, especially for new users.
Special thanks go out to all the people helping with translations and beta testing. Thank you very much!
See https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appsimobile.appsi for the Google play listing.
Appsi sidebar is a sidebar application for android. It comes with an embedded App plugin (more about that later) that allows you to see all your apps and add your favorite 5 apps as favorites.
It supports 3 distinct gestures when opening the sidebar, by default they will all open the sidebar normally. The gestures are moving horizontally after touching the hotspot, moving up or moving down. For each of these you can set the action to perform, these actions are:
- open the sidebar (default)
- open favorites swiper
- open recents swiper (needs plugins with recents)
- open plugin swiper (swipe to the plugin you'd like to open and then open the sidebar)
The swiper is the same as what you might know from other apps (like swipepad), it allows you to open something with one single touch, by moving your finger from the sidebar to the item.
The hotpot is either on the left or right side of the screen, it can be positioned manually and can be as big as you want.
Thanks to the wonderful people on this forum Russian translations have been added in the latest version. Also simplified Chinese has been added. I'd like to know what you all think about this app
Appsi is plugin based (and supported). This means it allows you to buy plugins to extend the functionality. This is not needed for normal operation, but it will add more types of things you can add as a sidebar.
You can either add a hotspot for each plugin, or use one hotspot for all plugins. The opened plugin can be changed by tapping the title of the sidebar.
If anyone has suggestions or improvement, either for plugins or Appsi itself, please let me know.

Appsi 1.5 release
Hello everybody,
If there are people out here that would like to test the app and provide feedback that would be great. I am open to suggestions and have a list of upcoming features. One of the features I just released as beta is the ability to change the alpha and to set a background for the sidebar. And the ability to be always up to date with the plugins (no need to load the data when the sidebar opens)
So if you'd like to do beta testing, send me your Google account (e-mail address) and I'll add you to the testers list.
If you do not want to test the beta version but would prefer to test the current version, that will also help very much.
Any feedback will help.
Thank you all!
If I'm right, this sidebar uses a service as "sidebar", doesn't it?
All other apps I've seen start up an activity if you touch the gesture area. If you press the home button and try to launch an activity from the gesture area, it has a 5 second delay.
So that's a really good thing.
Overall UI looks pretty good, which makes the users first thoughts about the app very positive.
ActionBar in the sidebar is awesome and usefull.
Logo isn't the best I've seen, you could improve that.
This is my opinion 4 seconds after installation.
Edit: search bar is very usefull

I will try it ASAP and report.
I tried a lot already.... almost all to be honest, and i stick right now to a cryptic one but which really work well. Can be used for inspiration, so here it is (and i am not advertsing, ok. It is just for reference as this one is relly unknown) : overlay launcher.
Gonna install your app and report from my of course subjective point of view.
Cheers
Really like it thus far! Would it be possible to make it easier to switch between plug ins, I.e, when the sidebar is open instead of going to the top to switch plug ins, maybe you can swipe left and right within in the sidebar to switch between plug ins. It will make it a lot easier to use instead of going to the top.

It is mandatory to add an option to dismiss notification from the notification panel... It's way too big, and it is very annoying for me!
App works really well indeed, and I'm looking forward to try a couple of plugins!
Keep up the good work mate!

Thanks! Yes I know I'll ask try to find someone to do some icon design later on. Will become better. I am focusing on improving the usability right now and other performance improvements. They are all in beta now, and if no more issues are found in these versions, I'll be putting this beta to production.

Thanks, the problem with this is running as a service. Android will kill the app if it needs resources. I have tested it and it will kill it quite often and restart it within a few moments. I can add an option (a discouraged one) to disable running as a foreground service. I can also suggest the user to disable notifications for the app if running on jelly bean, and take them there. Another thought was the ability to set a 100% transparent icon so that it does not show up in the notification bar.
The upcoming version (current beta) adds the following features:
custom backgrounds on the sidebar
light and dark theme (dark theme is the current theme, light is like holo light)
better synchronization between appsi and the plugins. (less data loading needed and better user experience)
Improved getting started experience (visible hotspots until the user disables it and an arrow showing how to open the sidebar once the hotspot is touched)
For the next version (after the current beta), I will add the following features for sure:
Favorites manager: Manage the favorites in a proper way and allow for an unlimited amount of favorites.
Navigating between plugins with a simple swipe.
and possibly:
integration with live folders
widgets plugin (already working on this)
Thank you all, and if you have any more ideas or suggestions, please let me know!
May I add something to this already rich and awesome list?
I would REALLY REALLY LIKE to have the possibility to add shortcuts to the apps plugin (as I can do on the launcher screen, for example). That would be really helpful!!
...Maybe also an option to change app icons and names, and a way to hide the "X" for apps removal (which I find quite ugly, this function might be moved to a separate and specific menu to add/remove things maybe?) ?
you may also think about offering an "all plugins package" at a discounted price, rather than having to buy all plugins separately (which, btw, makes the sum of all prices quite high). So that the user can choose if selectively buy the only one or two plugins he needs at their actual price, or directly going for the full thing.. I hope it's clear what I mean!
Cheers and keep up the good work!!
Should you need some beta testers... You know where to look

Yes, the favorites manager will at first be used to replace the current way of adding and removing the favorites. But later on it will also be improved to allow changing names and icons. Also I am planning to do something with icon themes, I still need to determine how and what, but a new theming format is not what I am aiming for (we are talking several releases in the future now)
Shortcuts is definitely on the list of to-dos for the apps plugin. I can't say yet when it will be added but it is something that will definitely be there in the future.
Well beta testers are always very welcome. The XDA Android app testers community is a good starting point, https://plus.google.com/communities/100406373096097711894 . If you join this group and opt-in for beta testing at https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.appsimobile.appsi you'll be able to get the beta version. I still need to add this community to the plugins, I will update my original post with the details when it is done.
Appsi sidebar is well beyond 1000 downloads from play store! Yay!
I really recommend this app guys, try it out and you'll see that it is even more comfortable to use than it looks!

This feature is included in the beta that was released today. I loved it from the moment it worked. Very good suggestion
Today the beta was moved to production. See the original post at the start of the thread for the changes
Very cool app and working great so far.

New Beta release, for all of you who want the notification icon gone, it is in beta now!
I'm joining this too.
Gonna try out.
Keep the good work.

New version released, 1.4 see original post for details
Newest version is great!! An awesome improvement, really!! Appsi is becoming more and more polished and feature rich, while staying lightning fast. Can't think of anything better!!
Now we only need some more theming options, like changing icons (as we do on launchers like nova, apex...)
Cheers and keep up the good work!!

Appsi crashing
Firstly, after 24 hours of using Appsi, I have to say that Appsi has become one of my favourite apps. It is well done and provides needed functionality.
However, from time to time Appsi freezes and the only way to get the sidebar back is to force close the app from the application manager and then restart the app.
I'm using CM 10.1 (Android 4.2.1) on Samsung S3.
Any idea why this is happening?
Cheers,
Eran

Never ever had a freeze or FC on Alliance Rom.. Maybe the problem you have is only tied to aosp roms and not stock or derivative ones?

I do not own this software and did not make this application, I follow his twitter and watch for the latest beta for android and upload it here for you guys to try out.
LATEST BETA [November 27, 2016]:

two-handed tap/slide hybrid input
shortcut system
customizable themes
Devices that I tested it on: Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900W8) Canadian model, Samsung Galaxy Tab S (8.4), Galaxy S3 i9300, Galaxy tab 4 (7.0), LG G4, Galaxy S7, Sony Xperia Z3, Galaxy A5

Have fun typing. It will be frustrating in the beginning but it's really worth it. Stick with it for a day or two and you will get a hang of it, you will learn fast that's what makes this keyboard brilliant. Once you learn how to type on it, Swiftkey, Google Keyboard, A.I. Type, Fleksy, Swype, Touchpal X, and even your computer keyboard won't compare to the speeds you can reach on this keyboard.
If the dev updates the beta I will post the updated link here

i looked as well and i cant seem to find it either, sorry i didnt mention it before. maybe the next beta will have this option. if i do find out how, i will be sure to post it
Playing with it today.
I can't find a sound off option either.
Emoji-anything crashes the keyboard (no error, the keyboard just goes away for a minute).
Shortcut swiping is giving me a head-ache. Going to look for youtube video shortly.
Is there basic macro/shortcuts (ie, if I do "t " it expands to "the" ?)
I somehow messed up my topbar - it only shows the last words I typed, can't seem to go back to suggestions.
No clue on the slide-up flicking thing.
In settings, back pushes out of settings instead of back 1 menu (pita when trying to go through all the menus)
...BUT
For an early work, especially when he is concentrating on iOS - this is very, very promising!
i dont know about the basic macro/shortcuts i dont really use them. to reset your topbar i looked around the app but i guess the fastest thing to do is to reinstall the app. the flicking up thig u mentioned i think is the word selection after you type a word flick up from the spacebar to see other words you might have wanted to type intead of the one the keyboard displays. and yeah, the back in the menu pisses me of a lot.
I also agree. pretty well done for a beta. keyboard works for the most part.

Dev responded to me on twitter - no way to turn off noise at the moment. Says new version may come out in a few days.
If you are rooted, http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-app-settings-v1-9-2014-05-14-t2437377 can turn off the sound of the app.

How's the new beta working for you? I have more problems with the sound. Jormy said he will start working on android version in the nearest future
Still loving the beta. Wondering when I'll be able to throw some money at a Play Store version.
