Is this the official swype beta that is now working?
My official beta would not work, but a version posted elsewhere in these forums works fine...
Swype Beta worked for me
The swype beta worked for me on my MyTouch 4G (Glacier) I will see if it works on my One S today.
Official Swype beta installed just fine on my one s stock, unrooted.
Ps, we don't have Swype pre installed, that is an HTC keyboard with Swype features.

Does anyone know how to get different colored themes for the new version of swype? I realize there is modded apk's but I read a review on The Verge and it is white. I doubt a tech review site would modify it for a review.
Here's the link to the article I'm talking about, I want that version!:

I never got a message, but have now installed the official beta as well.
About 5 minutes after installing, I got a random reboot on my phone which I have hardly ever had. Hope it is not related....
Downloaded this a few days ago, working great except one problem...
Sometimes when I press the space button it close the keyboard and goes to the home screen (yes I'm sure I wasn't accidentally pressing home button ). Mainly noticed in stock messaging app, and I always get the toast notification "Swype will automatically insert a space for you".
Anyone else?
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using XDA
happens to me sometimes too...thought maybe the home key was a little sensitive or I have fat fingers
I have both the older swype and the one that was offered lately running on the One S.
What i find interesting is that the new Swype seems to be very different. The layout has changed, functions have been reordered, its faster, doesn't have its terrible lag anymore. Also now its offered under the company name of "Nuance" which i never saw before. It's a bit like a new keyboard.
Also, i am not sure it is as good as it used to be. I have ambivalent feelings for it at the moment.
But to answer to the main question of the thread: both versions run perfectly well on the One S and i had never had a reboot. I am on LeeDroid. I have had it on a rooted stock ROM (1.78 base) before.

You can still skin it...sort of. The problem is that unless you know their private key, you can't sign it properly. If you resign it, it will still install and function as a normal keyboard, minus the actual Swype feature. Sucks too because I've skinned it to match the stock keyboard beautifully. Oh well.
can anyone pm
Is there anyone that can PM me the link to get it? Or link to a drop box dl for the apk?

Hey, I know there is a working copy floating around... not the beta but just something that works for the inc. Been looking and can't find it, anyone mind PMing me the file? Thanks!
Why don't you just get the open beta?
All you do is register on their site and they give you a download link.
https://beta.swype.com/android/create/
I am registered... tried the installer... didnt work for some reason :-/
I don't know what the exact error is with your installer, but sometimes 1 of 15 nightly flashes I would have to reinstall swype because swype would give me an error about having the license registered to another device. I would have to uinstall swype, reboot, install swype through the swype installer, and reboot again. Swype forums also has instructions for reseting the license so you can install on another device.
I had a real hard time install swype when I was in france for some reason. In the swype forum it said something about having trouble authenticating.
Swype beta is really awesome and I wish you luck getting it installed.
I'm using this beta and works just fine.

Same here. I have had the beta for months now and it is working fine.
Although, I have been using thumb keyboard for the past week or so and even with the quirks it is much faster than swype.

Holy ****, a thread about swype almost NEVER lasts this long without being locked. But, I notice that the Swype Beta does NOT work on miui - unless i place it under /system/app with libswypecore.so
I've been using the Beta for a long time - work's great, but it MUST be installed using their installer. And then, of course, you have to turn it on (select it in keyboards).
Applanet has a working download. Try flexT9, AWESOME swype replacement much more accurate and looks better/predicts better.
Bit of a CPU hog sometimes.

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.

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)

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.

If you're on a phone with a UI overlay that has the stock keyboard disabled (eg, Samsung TouchWiz, HTC Sense, Sony), you can just download the apk below- no root required. To install, make sure you have "install from unknown sources" enabled in your phone settings, and after installation, go into your phone's keyboard settings and enable "Android keyboard." Then, you can switch to the new keyboard. This may also work on some "stock" Android custom ROMs - but it will not work on stock Android builds distributed by Google. For instructions for Nexus devices running stock software, see the next paragraph.
Mirror 1 (APK)
Mirror 2 (APK)
If the apk doesn't work, you're running a phone that is either A.) running stock Android (as in, AOSP), or B.) running software that has the stock Android keyboard as an option, you'll need to download this ZIP file, and flash it in recovery. That also means you're going to need root. as you'll be writing to /system/apps. Before you do, though, either back up the stock keyboard (if you don't know how, you probably shouldn't be doing this) or create a full image backup, just in case. Here's that ZIP file:
Mirror 1 (flashable ZIP)
Mirror 2 (flashable ZIP)
Note: this build is an older one, and is not representative of exactly how the keyboard will look when Android 4.2 is officially released. The word suggestion pop-ups, for example, are different from what we've seen on Nexus 4s running the release build of Android 4.2. All the functionality is there and works properly, though.

this is amazing.....seems to work better than swype, just first impression though....gonna put it thru its paces by typing up an extensive email later and hopefully get it goin good....only qualm i seem to have so far is that to add words to your dictionary for it, you have to turn off auto-correct then tap out the word then tap the word in the autocorrect list and then save it, more hassle than it should be lol
edit: is it saving words for anyone else? it says that its saving it in the dictionary, but the word never actually gets saved and vulgar words aren't even being asked to be saved either.......so i'm guessing this is the "clean" keyboard to stop us from cursing lolol

Installed fine on mine.
Took me about 10 minutes to realize I didn't want to use it, but it installed and ran fine.
Having this exact same problem on my HOX aswell.
Might I ask what region you're trying to install from? (UK, US, etc?)
And also which region the last poser successfully installed from?
EDIT : It turns out it is only vailable in the US for now, but as a UK user like myself you can actually use the app by downloading it's .APK directly from this site : www (dot) androidpolice.com/2013/04/12/facebook-home-starts-showing-up-on-the-play-store-available-for-select-devices/
It seems to be working fine atm.
I can download and install the app, but Home says that my device is unsupported
I'm using CM 10.1, so that might be related to why it thinks I don't have a One X. Any ideas?

Thanks! It worked =)
I was trying from Mexico (My HOXL is the AT&T version, though)
Running CM 10.1 also and I would imagine thats why it isn't supported. Maybe on a sense based ROM out there it would work.
From what I've seen, it apparently does some checks (build.prop maybe) to ensure it's on an officially supported device. AOSP roms likely interfere with that.
I'm on stock rooted and can't even find it on the store. I have the new play store, so I don't know.

I experimented with it a little yesterday and it really does take away a lot of the android feel -- No Widgets or anything its all Facebook. I do like chat-heads I think thats pretty awesome but you can get that with just Messenger so I just stuck with that. I was a little concerned about my privacy with facebook integrating my SMS as well. Call me paranoid but Facebook has been iffy about their privacy policies in the past...then again, I guess many of the web-based services I use aren't known well for protecting user privacy. In any event, I do think the launcher is smooth and is actually a cool concept, but complete removal of the widgets is what got me.
