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.
"Should I Wear Pants?" is a novelty weather app that takes your location, gender, and temperature preferences, retrieves your local weather, and lays out for you what to wear.
In addition to the novelty, it really does save me time in the morning - I was surprised, we conceived it as just a fun little novelty thing. Previously, I'd go to the office, turn on my computer, go online to look up the weather, and infer what to wear; now, I no longer need to even enter my office in the morning. I suppose this is mitigated if you have a decent weather app already, but I never really found one I liked that much. Those also don't tell you what to wear
We tried to make the default temperature preferences sane, but they're easy to adjust.
Link:
Free version
Basic features:
Jacket versus T-shirt
Pants versus shorts
Temperature preferences for all available slots
Temperature units preference - Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin
Optionally, fun holiday outfits on major holidays (US holidays, that is - for those outside the US, we're open to adding outfits for your holidays, we just don't have them yet)
Premium features (in addition to everything in the free version):
Sunglasses
Hat
Gloves
Umbrella
Shoes versus flip-flops
Swagger mode - this, like Swagger Mode in AOKP, is a surprise
"I wear my sunglasses at night" mode - this is fairly self-explanatory
This isn't exactly a feature, but the premium version also doesn't have advertisements; the free version does
Upcoming features (in approximately the order we're going to do them):
Solar position during the day - a graphical indicator of the sun's position
Long-sleeve shirts - these would be used at some point between T shirts and jackets; possibly have a setting to control what point that would be
A dew point setting for flip-flops - nobody likes walking around in cold, wet grass with open footwear
A setting to weight the average we take between the low and high temperatures for the Today and Tomorrow tabs
Some live wallpapers with weather and/or wardrobe information
Home screen widgets - one per "slot" from the main screen
Changelog:
1.5.0 - 2012-12-20
Both versions
Added the capability for users to specify their location. To do this:
Open the preferences screen
Under "ABOUT YOU", uncheck "Use Current Location"
The "Location" option will be made available - open this to set your location.
Refer to the Help topic called "Specifying Your Location" for more information on supported formats, etc.
Added Christmas outfits; these will run from the 23rd to the 27th if you're in Calendar Fun mode.
Fixed a number of small issues with location and weather detection.
This was made possible by some new automated testing; we now have approximately 275 cities around the world verified as working and accurate, while ensuring no regressions occurred for the common case when fixing the edge cases.
Note that this doesn't cover the entire world; thus far, we have the Americas, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand covered. We are working to add coverage to the rest of the world.
1.4.0 - 2012-12-03
Both versions
Added a new system for reporting to the user when problems occur. This will make it significantly more clear what's happening when something goes wrong, and adds an easy way to E-mail a problem report to us.
1.3.5 - 2012-11-27
Both versions
Fixed an issue in holiday calculation that was causing the entire month after a given holiday to still be considered that holiday. This was presenting itself with the rest of November after Thanksgiving still displaying holiday clothing when Calendar Fun mode was on.
Fixed an issue with icon sizing causing the full 512x512 icon to be displayed in certain positions, in certain ROMs. In particular, we noticed it when a lock-screen shortcut to the app was created in CM10.
1.3.4 - 2012-11-22
Both versions
Updated the "Geocoder fail " error message to be a bit more descriptive and helpful.
1.3.3 - 2012-11-18
Both versions
Added an American Thanksgiving outfit; this includes a T shirt with a roast turkey on it, and will be shown on Thanksgiving and the preceding day
Extended Halloween outfits to also include the preceding day
Premium version
The Thanksgiving outfit also includes oven mitts in place of gloves, a colonial pilgrim-style hat for men, and a colonial style bonnet for women
1.3.2 - 2012-11-12
Both versions
Changed the landscape layout to make better use of all the horizontal screen real estate
1.3.1 - 2012-11-07
Both versions
Finally put the empty wardrobe issue to bed for good, we hope.
Free version
Fixed an issue causing free-version-capable slots to be marked as premium-only for approximately half of users (by our estimate).
1.3.0 - 2012-11-06
Both versions
Fixed yet another issue that was causing empty wardrobes, in particular on screen orientation change.
Laid the scaffolding for the sun position feature.
1.2.2 - 2012-11-02
Both versions
Fixed another issue that was causing empty wardrobes.
1.2.1 - 2012-10-30
Premium version
Added an individual temperature setting for hats; previously, the hat was enabled any time the jacket was enabled.
1.2.0 - 2012-10-29
Both versions
Fixed an issue causing empty wardrobes.
Added "Calendar Fun" mode - this gives fun outfits on holidays.
Free version
On Halloween, the T shirt will have a skeleton on it.
Premium version
The Halloween outfit also consists of a jack-o-lantern bucket in place of the umbrella, a pumpkin beanie for men, and a witch's hat for women.
1.1.2 - 2012-10-27
Both versions
Added an option to set preferred temperature units - Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin.
Added the "Special thanks" page to the help section.
Premium version
Added Swagger mode.
Added "I wear my sunglasses at night" mode.
1.1.1 - 2012-10-25
Both versions
Fixed some minor issues around interface scaling.
1.1.0 - 2012-10-24
Both versions
Added a help section to explain and work around common issues.
1.0 - 2012-10-22
Initial app release
Space reserved for future use
Space reserved for future use
Love this app!
Great job! I must say that I've been using this app since it came out on the Play store, and it's been great. I used to check weather.com every morning, and I would have to check the daily forecast and click through three pages of "hourly" weather predictions in order to figure out two things: (1) did I need to wear pants, and (2) should I wear a jacket--when I rode my bike in to work in the morning.
Now, when I wake up, I just open up Should I Wear Pants?, check "Now" and "Today", and wear what it says. I've already customized it for my style, and now that it's getting colder out, it's been critical to know when to man-up and drive in, and when to put on my gloves and ride my bike.
Useful and fun app
I was one of the first to download this app and I must say that it is very useful. I always use to go on websites on my computer or use some other apps (none of which I really liked) to get the weather for the day and still I had to figure out what to wear. This app not only pulls the weather for the location you currently are, it also (thanks to preferences and customization within the app) suggests to you what to wear.
When I frist got it, there were a few bugs, but since the original download, I have downloaded a few new updates (some with pretty fun features such as holidy mode, and swagger mode) that have fixed any bugs that I encountered.
I would overall rate the app a 5/5 for its purpose and the fun things you can do with it as well.
P.S. Listen to what the app tells you if you have your preferences right. I was recently in Atlanta which is a bit warmer than where I am from (the North East) and I wore jeans one day which is not what the app told me to wear based on my suggestions. Lets just say I was sweating a tad bit that dat. The app really works and is helpful.
Definitely reccommended!
Brilliant.
Just pushed an update that significantly improves the layout in landscape orientation. Feedback welcome!
Just pushed an update that adds American Thanksgiving outfits. These will be run on Thanksgiving and the preceding Wednesday. The outfits include roast turkey designs on the T shirts, oven mitts in place of the gloves, colonial pilgrim style hats for men, and colonial style bonnets for women.
Enjoy, and as always, feedback welcome!
This is just like Swackett! I loved that on my Mac. THANKS.
Damn, and here I thought our idea was unique =p
Glad you like it, thanks for the comment
Haha I like this

I just saw the description and ran straight for the paid one! Amazing idea! Can`t wait to play with it.
One thing I can tell is missing right away, though.. WIDGET! Please make a widget for this. it`d be awesome to switch to my weather page, and see what I should wear right away without needing an app

That's one of the next things we're releasing I don't think it's going to make it into the 1.4 release, which is going to have a significant overhaul of the settings and an addition of several other items of clothing to each slot. I'm in the process of learning how to make home screen widgets, though - we're currently thinking one widget per slot.
If you have a weather page, though, one widget per slot probably won't work - in fact I'd imagine every slot wouldn't even fit on one dedicated page. I hadn't considered this use case - I'm thinking we'll also make a large widget that contains the whole thing.
Pushed an update yesterday that makes the "Geocoder fail " error message a bit more clear. People who have gotten this error message - please check out our help screen under the "Geocoder" section.
This app goes great with the Should I Change My Underwear app!

That'll have to be the next one we make
Pushed an update yesterday that fixes a problem with our holiday calculation - basically, every day of November that occurred after Thanksgiving was still considered Thanksgiving for the purpose of the outfit. We also fixed icon sizing - I noticed that our 512x512 icon was being displayed at full size when I put it in a lock-screen shortcut in CM10.
Just pushed yet another update - this one adds a new system for reporting problems to you when something bad happens. This will make it significantly more clear what's going wrong when problems occur - it makes it easier to fix problems yourself, while at the same time providing a very easy way to E-mail a report of the problem(s) to us for assistance.
Edit: Also, we would really love some feedback on this! And in addition, if anybody in this thread is someone who 1-starred the app because things weren't working, I implore you to re-evaluate the app now that we've (A) solved the major issues and (B) provided this great new error reporting system.

Youtube Tutorial:

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

Looks good

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.
