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.

[GAME] Color Confusion

Hi all,
I just developed my first game, Color Confusion http://bit.ly/kSX8go, and hope folks here get a chance to check it out. Any feedback is welcome.
Being my first game, there are probably things that could be done better, but my tesing group (wife and kids =) seem to really enjoy playing it.
We have an Asus Transformer, so optimizing for tablets/honeycomb was important to us.
UPDATE:
Color Confusion Game Trailer: http://bit.ly/jU7HXE
Description
See if you have what it takes to solve each level, by mixing a wide array of colors into cans of paint. Don’t be fooled as gameplay starts off easy, with a small number of colors. As you progress, it becomes pure Color Confusion!
* USER REVIEWS *
- “Very fun! Makes you actually think!”
- “Good for passing time. Fun! Very nice.!”
- “This game is a ton of fun! It seems so simple but it very challenging.”
FEATURES:
** Optimized Honeycomb 3.0 support
** HD Tablet resolution graphics included
** Supports lower resolution devices as well
** Never the same game twice
** Great game for teaching kids how to mix colors
** High score tracking for each level
** Seemingly easy at first glance, but becomes additively difficult
** In-app help included
** Atmospheric background music
** Free version includes first four levels
** Free version includes ads
awesome, ill have to check it out. good work.
luciferii, thanks for the kind words.
I submitted this app to Amazon, and it has been approved. Anyone know how long it takes to "go-live" on Amazon? It has been a couple of days in approved status...but no way I can tell to make it go live. Does Amazon do automatically?
Hi Funny idea for a game.
I've noticed that I went too many times for the obvious choice, like for green I was mixing a darker green with a lighter color instead of mixing blue and yellow.
I've got two minor recommendation:
If you go to play, help or scores and press the back button, it exits the game. I should expect that it would go back to the main menu.
When pressing the remix button it directly remixes the colors. On a tablet touching this by accident isn't really the case, but when playing it on for instance the bus on your phone it can happen. A are you sure dialog can avoid this.
It's rather good Could you make the sample of the colour we have to match bigger? It is a tad small when playing on a phone.
Hi,
Tricky Design, thanks for the great feedback! For the help/score exiting the game, I was able to replicate that as well. I fixed that bug in an update (see below version history). That was a good catch! The re-mix is also a good idea, I will put that in my next update!
Isadora, Thanks for the great feedback as well! I will for sure make the swatch colors bigger on the next build.
Really appreciate you all checking it out, feel free to spread the word if you like it...being my first game...it is hard getting it "off the ground"
For reference, here are the updates I have done so far...most are based on user feedback...I am really trying to address user feedback
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.2
1. Based on user feedback, added option to mute background music (new icon on main menu)
2. Minor changes to Ad sizing for some devices
3. More performance improvements
Version 1.1
1. Based on user feedback, adjusted difficulty levels
2. Performance improvements
3. New "free" icon, to distinguish paid from free if both installed
4. Increased Color Palette size and buttons, to make play easier on phones
5. Fixed bug with game exiting when hitting menu button on scores and help.
Version 1.0
1. Initial Release
Color Confusion was featured on Blamza.com http://bit.ly/jfnGxB !
"Simple but addictive...excellent game...try it out" -Blamza.com
It seems that the paid (ad-free) version still has the ad code involved somewhere, because it still wants internet and unique identifier permissions. That's something of a turn-off.
Hi ResonanceZero,
Thanks for the feedback.
The paid version has the Ad stuff removed...however, this was built with Corona SDK, and that permission is added during their "build" process. I will do some research as to why that is the case, and see what can be done about it.
Thanks again for taking time to look at it and provide feedback.
Since it is my first game, I am still learning a lot...and having fun
I don't know if I am doing something wrong or, but whenever I download the game and run it, it says that the application has been corrupted
Sent from my disease ridden .... I mean CommRom Fascinate.
Color Confusion 1.3 just released! Now you can see the answers, if you fail a level!
Check it out here: http://bit.ly/kSX8go
Color Confusion, never the same game twice!

Not much of a gaming person, but it does look nice and well made!
And i love the music in the trailer well done
barty22, thanks for the nice feedback on the trailer. It was my first attempt at something like this...and I thought it turned out pretty well. Glad you liked it!
Color Confusion gets great hands on video review from TalkAndroid.com!

Hope you can check it out!

Hopefully you all have as much fun playing Color Confusion as we did making it!
Color Confusion 1.5 released, with updated graphics. Gameplay looks much better now. Enjoy!

Thanks for listening,
http://www.gibibytegames.com/
It's a great little game I really like that all the levels are different every time but I'm just annoyed that I haven't managed to master level 10 yet (there *always* seems to be 2 colours that I can't mix right!)
Isadora,
I am so glad to hear you think it is a great game
We did work hard to make the gameplay have lasting value...by making the levels different every time.
You are right...level 10 is very challenging...I have managed to solve it a few times...at least now you can see the answers if you fail. That was a feature folks were asking for.
One of the hardest things is "getting the word out" on these games. Really appreciate you taking time to play!
