Yes, I'm using it right now. Just install the .apk though a file manager like ES or Astro.

will this affect the current keyboard? or is just an extra keyboard option?

just an extra keyboard. you'll have to go to settings, keyboard, then check swype and then open an email or something and long press where you type and then choose select input then swype. if you dont like you can uninstall or long press and choose the regular keyboard.

I suggest the black version, by the way.

Swype.micro.black.apk

Using it now ftw

you guys may already know this but it took me a minute to figure out that you have to press and hold the input area and then switch input methods. enabling swype in the settings doesnt automatically appear as the default keyboard.
edit: wow this swype thing is badass

I don't like how swype doesn't have the letter pop up when you press a let normally. Also, in swype are the sym and enter buttons messed up for anybody else? On mine the text isn't really on the actual button.

Hmmm. Apparently I had an old version installed our something. I installed the one posted in this thad and it's much better!
I still would like the letter I press to pop up like on the stock keyboard. If it acted like the stock keyboard when pressing letters normally if it also had the voice text button it would be perfect.

whats the difference between this one and the one i have installed from market? 5.something mb apk

I don't know. I don't get any results when I search the market for Swype.

i didnt think swype was in market and these have been stripped down of all other languages so its not 5+megs.

Best alternate keyboard for someone with big hands?

Howdy all,
Im a larger guy and I was wondering what the consensus was on the best alternate keyboard for someone with big hands? I find the stock kb on the x10 always has me hitting other buttons because they are so skinny.

I say this to anyone who has a hard time using the generic keyboard. Use Swype. As long as your finger motions are correct and intentional, you will spell the correct word. It becomes easier for larger words since it autocorrects.Try swype, it is actually faster that using a qwerty keyboard once you get use to it.

a desktop keyboard? r u like gozzila? my fingers are HUGE and the modded HTC keyboard is more than perfect for me

Look for ThickButtons keyboard on the market. It predicts the next letters you could type and enlarges them. It could work for you.

You could just use whatever keyboard and turn the X10 sideways so you get the wider keyboard.

Per Swype's website, it says it won't work with phones that have this pre-installed.
Can anyone confirm?

More than likely this just means that you have to be in the swype beta and that your keyboard isn't going to automatically update.

I used Titanium backup to freeze the pre-installed swype then i just install the beta fine and everything works fine.

Tapping to text definitely feels nicer on the latest version of swype. The look of the suggestion bar is also vastly improved.

I think that's part of their Honeycomb-exclusive distro.
Also, be sure to uninstall your current version of Swype beta before installing the new one. If you run the installer while Swype 2.x is installed it will NOT update.

after i turned the phone off and turned it back on the swype started messing up and wouldn't open again i had to reinstall the old one to get it to work so idk

Weird, mine has been working all day. Even through a rom and kernel update. Maybe try fixing permissions.

So all I need to do is "uninstall" the stock Swype and then the beta will install?

Where did u get the lg keyboard from bro?

Used Root Uninstaller to back up stock swype and uninstall it.
Installed the new one, so far so good, the horizontal suggest bar is a bit funky, and I lost my user dictionary!

[Q] landscape keyboard

Is it possible for anyone to create a landscape keyboard for the touch screen ?
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA App

I believe some of the custom ROMs already have one, at the very least. Poke through the dev forum and see if you can find what you're looking for.

There is no current ROM that has this, it is yet to be seen if this is possible, as it wasn't built in by Samsung. They thought that there was no good way to have a landscape screen keyboard on our phones. So it would take a large amount of integration and work. Anything's possible, but as of now, it doesn't exist and is very far away if anyone is working on it.

last time I tried gokeyboard it worked in landscape. but it kept trying to translate my english into chinese so I uninstalled... but try this https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jb.gokeyboard&hl=en

not working for me , im gonna pm you to see if i can try to get it working

well, it used to work. you can see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15247397#post15247397 I was using it around the first of july. I tried it again today and I could not get it into landscape mode.
So, it USED to work, but apparently no longer does. Darn GO dev team for their frequent updates. (I think all go apps are some of the best btw, great/frequent updates)

Htc ime mod works in landscape I have the .apk but idk how do post it

Word, works and looks great thanks for posting. IF anyone is wondering, i used astro to install, then went to my settings, locale and text then deactivated my stock keyboard, and activated the new one.

Does the Galaxy S have the swype or regular virtual keyboard with landscape mode? If so, couldn't it work on the sidekick? If anyone would email me those keyboard apks, I'd be a guinea pig for that.

I still don't know how to do it I'm on the xda free app but ayoteddy posted it so great way on staying on top of things I habe the same one I believe
Edit: yes i have the same one just a diff color

Ok so i was looking for a specific colored htc ime keyboard only because u can use it in landscape mode on our phones and i wanted something to match my theme right now i have made my own custom keyboard from fishing around through google and xda go to www.gimpsta.com and u can create and generate your own custom keyboard register its free and use the high res froyo choice works wonders i created my own keys colored letters symbols have a yankees symbol on the space bar and homer simpson on a couch as the background it works great thanx gimpsta

Sorry, noob here... how do I install the file on my phone? TIA.

download the apk, place it on your sdcard, then use something like Root Explorer to move it into /system/app.

Awesome. Thanks!

Stock ICS Keyboard Issue

Anyone else having problems with recorrection using the stock ICS keyboard? I thought it was working when I first installed it but doesn't seem to be the case anymore. On my Xoom or N1 running stock ICS, if I place my cursor back on a word I've previously typed it will bring back up the auto-correct suggestions, so you can choose the correct one (like if it didn't guess right). Most people familiar with the ICS kb are likely familiar with this feature.
Any feedback appreciated, this is one of the best features of the keyboard.
Edit: Forgot to mention, I've tried clearing the app data of the KB. No dice.

where'd you get the keyboard

Apparently its been a really long week.... "recorrection" is only allowed in certain circumstances. I was not using it correctly. If a mod sees this, please close. Thanks.

is this keyboard better than the one from the market?

I've been using it since the guy posted it. I think it's just as good as the one from the market if not better. Reminds me I need to thank that guy...

The keyboard icon shows up when you have more than one available keyboard. That's how you choose which one to use.

On every other android phone I've owned you could have as many keyboards as you wanted enabled without annoying popup icons. It seems that icon is there no matter what keyboard you're currently using unless you disable them in the keyboards settings menu.

When Swiftkey 3 is released it will have a couple new themes called Cobalt (left) and Holo (right, ICS themed).
