Is there anybody else who might enjoy having swype pop-up the letters above your finger when you type one letter at a time? I realize this would only be beneficial when you have to manually enter unknown words, but I think it might make for a little easier typing if you could see the letter, like in the stock Android keyboard.
Any thoughts?

I just installed Eugenes Mancut 6 and now multitouch keyboard is the only one i have, swype is gone! why? and how do i get it back?
Ok nevermind i didn't do as much reading as i should of. I found the swype.zip on here and installed it but one problem, I can type words by manually doing it one letter at a time but when i actually try to slide my finger and spell words the real swype way it won't work and and blue lined box flashes around the keyboard.

Did you long press then select input method? Make sure swype is selected.
On the SGS2, if the Swype dictionary doesn't know a word, you simply type it out as normal, then press space and in the future that word will be saved in the default swype dictionary so you can swipe it the next time.
But sometimes i don't know how to spell a word, so i type it in wrong and Google corrects me, but swype now remembers it. Or I type in an acyonym and now Swypes remember that too.
How can I delete "junk" that I have added to the Swype dictionary through just normal usage? I dont want to switch to Samsung Keyboard everytime I type something I'm not sure of.

Incase you want to make the Swype Dictionary forget a word, simply type out the mispelled word, long tap on it and click "Select Word".
Therafter, click on the Swype Options button on the Keyboard (the one on the bottom left corner). You would get an option asking if you want to delete the word from the swype dictionary. Voila!
Not quite sure how to explain this. But on my bb I could go into the dictionary and add my own words. For example, if I typed na(space) it would automatically come up "sorry not available". Does anyone know.how to do this on an android phone? I tried to find an option on my Samsung fascinate and droid charge, no luck.

Some keyboards allow you to do acronyms like Slide It I think.
Smart Keyboard Pro allows you to do this.

You can add them as you go on swype.
You can add them as you go with the stock keyboard too. As soon as you start typing a down arrow appears. Hit that and at the bottom there is a button that says add word. Or you can you can through the settings menu, language and keyboard, touch input then to personal dictionary.
You guys are misunderstanding... Basically he wants to add shortcuts... For example typing abc I can make it type out "my name is cares"
Hello,
i googled for quite some time now, but I couldn't find ANY answer. So I guess this is not possible but I thought I can ask here. Maybe someone knows something.
Is it possible, while typing with the stock android keyboard (Jelly Bean) to switch to the Numpad? I've uploaded two pictures to make things clear.
In the first pic you see the normal android keyboard. In the second one you see the numpad, but which only occurs if the text field only allows numerical input. What I want is to switch from the normal keyboard to the numerical one.
Example:
I am writing a note (in my fav. note app) or a sms. In this note/sms I type some longer Numbers (wlan-key, phone number, birthday... you name it). This is when I want to switch to the numpad, because I cannot describe how much I hate to input numbers when they are not in a 3x3 grid (like a numpad).
In the stock Android Keyboard, when I press the number button (bottom left) the numbers appear in a ROW on the top. I honestly don't get how people can type numbers with this.... It would drive me crazy. I could talk hours about how much i hate it. But I want to keep this kind of short
Swype has this feature: either hold the numbers key next to the swype button. Or swype from the swype-key to the t and the numpad appears. Really nice!
I was just wondering if something like this is possible for the Android keyboard.
greetings
PS: I tried a lot of different keyboards and only swype had both: swype input and numpad. Why? I think a numpad for numerical input is the best way to go. I really don't get why you want it any other way.
I dont know about the stock key board but swiftkey keyboard can also put the numbers in a 3x3 grid...although partially . I am attaching a screen shot
Hope this helped

Thank you for your reply. I forgot about SwiftKey. Last time I've tried it, something bothered me, but I cannot remember what it was. Maybe I give it another try.
But still I am curious about the stock keyboard. Because I refuse to believe they did not implement this feature, since I think it is quite essential. And when it comes to choosing a keyboard, it's a deal breaker for me.
Hi guys, I'm currently on the lollipop (rooted of course )build but my issue is not version related.
It involves the predictive spelling suggestions when typing. I have this problem that a lot of words were added that's misspelled so this leads to me using them a lot of times over and over again. I want to either open the list end edit them or, failing that, delete it totally and start afresh, this time trying to spell correctly. (yeah, right!) Even though the dictionary works, it has now been contaminated with misspelled words and when typing on the fly, or in a hurry, the misspelled words gets the prominent suggestion spot in the middle and then you tend to select it....
Hope my brief explanation makes sense. Let me know if I need to explain anything else or even try to add screen shots.
Nevermind, I'm such a lazy ass! I found it!
If you go to phone settings - Language & Input - Xperia Keyboard - Use my writing style - My words.
Voila!! There is the list and you can delete everything or just the ones that's wrong!
