Hi I just downloaded swype beta and its turned on but the keyboard doesn't change. The same thing happened when I tried swift keyboard. I check it but its the stock keyboard. I am on bamf beta 6. Anyone have any ideas.

Hold on the text input box and choose input method and choose swype.
I'm sorry, but I don't see that button on my keyboard.

Long press the text input area. You'll see a dialog pop up with keyboard choices.

Thanks I finally got it figured out. I had to go to the swype installer app and change a setting there.

Now be aware, unless with Swype Beta 3.0 they fixed it, that when you reboot your phone, Swype will stop working.
What you'll have to do is long press inside a text box, and switch your input mode back to the stock keyboard. Long press again, and switch it back to Swype. You'll be good to go! I guess I haven't rebooted since 3.0 installed yesterday... maybe they fixed this bug?!
I just rebooted and swype was still there so that's a good thing

Swype stays when I reboot also. Must've been fixed.

But did it work just fine? I've always had to switch to the stock keyboard, then back to swype after a reboot, otherwise the actual swype motions wouldn't create words.

Yes, the new Swype 3.0 works for our phone and does not have the problems that the old one had when it would reboot that you would have to select another input type then Swype again. That was a big headache to deal with every time you wanted to enter a new message.
Yeap like picao said it worked without a hitch.

I'm using Swype 1.6 and am not having any issues with it, use it with the default mail app, and it's there after rebooting. Is this only a 3.0 "feature"?
Awesome. i'm going to reboot right now just to check!
so im on bamf 1.6.3 and the stock messaging app wont auto space between words for swype. it does on handcent but i dont like using it. has anyone found a fix for this? and i heard it was fixed on gingerbread is that true?
The beta skips spaces and I haven't had any issues with it yet. But the double space doesn't put a period.

I'm glad they fixed this with the new 3.0 beta, what a pain in the ass that was after every reboot.
I run ARHD on Desire HD. In all previous Swype versions up to now, swyping almost never worked until I manually re-initialised its listener.
The current version hasn't displayed this problem at all, which had finally made the program quite usable. The word chooser is still proving to be a bit of a problem due to silly default choices, I'm having to correct it far too often. And editing words that aren't in the dictionary is exceptionally tricky due to the way the cursor keeps jumping around in edit mode, though that may be just as much the fault of Android Gingerbread or HTC Sense, for all I know.

I had the same issue when i initially got my TB (before rooting/ROM). I found in these forums a link to the EVO swype apk that you can use on the TB to fix the auto-space issue with SMS/MMS.
I'm back to using the 3.0 beta version of swype and I'm having the same auto-space issue you describe. I like the 3.0 updates too much to go back to the old EVO version, but maybe the EVO 3.0 apk would give the same fix as the old version.

Ok, what did I do. I installed SwiftKey X, it was working, then I moved it to my SD card and it was no longer working ,my Evo 3d kept defaulting to the Swipe Keyboard. So I moved Swiftkey back to the internal memory and still the same thing. I can't figure out how to get the normal or the swiftkey keyboard back.
I would uninstall then re install the app.
Nevermind figured it out. Looks like when you move SwiftKey to the memory card it disables it. So you have to re-enable it then you need to hold down the blank txt box and change the input option to Swift Key.
enjoy!!
Thank you for the heads up...my beta just ran out...

If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
Damn I want swiftkey no credit card where I am and cannot get to it damn

I'm still torn between this and Smart keyboard pro. I just need to spend some more time with Swiftkey. They are about the same to me now.
So anyone having problems with it enabling? When I go to try to use it. It says pick a language. I choose English US but I keep getting download failed. I have wifi and data enabled.
NM. . Seems like their servers are getting hammered. Just keep trying and it will go through.

That was the greatest thing they have done!! sorta. I love this keyboard, I cant really tell too much of a difference from the last beta version, other than a PoPuP every 30 mins telling you to DL the paid version. And just when I pulled out the debit card.... BOOM! its Free!

Same here. I had been using Smart keyboard Pro since I first got the Evo 4g last year so I was pretty used to it. Been using Swiftkey all day. Just gotta get used to the space bar being smaller, and where all the symbols are.
I'm really missing the original "swype" I've down loaded many apps from the market similar but nothing like the original. Any ideas, how do I get it?

Don't miss Swype at all. It goes on sale for 99cents once in a while
Seriously?? Did you even try?
http://beta.swype.com
Swype will run on CM9; but like romuloxiii said, just go to the swype website, sign up for the beta, and download it
I've tried downloading the beta. And I can't seem to get it to work. I've followed the steps to install but it says password and username is incorrect, and says account not active. I'm not a noob and I can't seem. To be able to get past the login. I downloaded "swiftkey x" but I thought it was like swype. I will never text regular again. I absolutely hate texting. With 2 hands. I can swype so much faster than tapping, and one handed using my thumb. I've tried all the apps and none of the are as good or have stupid things that just make no sense. Any other ideas with swype beta? I thought maybe I'm on a custom romantic that it won't work.

Just wondering what the MoPho's and Mo'lec's (?) are using for a keyboard.
I got Thumb Keyboard on Amazon's FAD promotion, and I was using it, but it's a little too liberal with its space bar, Delete/L, and Shift/A, and its word prediction doesn't take this into account. Say you want to type "Facebook", it comes up "afacebook" because it registers Shift as A, and "Facebook" isn't a word suggestion. And you can be tapping a bunch of Deletes, and all of a sudden it starts inserting L's. Or spaces for N's. Not sure what to do about that.
I gave Swype another chance, and I like it, but the options are kinda sparse. I tried to install the Swype beta, and it said it was not available for devices with Swype preinstalled. Figured I could fix that, went into Titanium, backed it up, and deleted it... Swype Beta then downloaded the latest Swype. It looks better, not sure if they improved it.
It seems like there are some things Swype doesn't like to do. The long-press delay for symbols is too long, and brand names are tricky. It let me Swype AirDroid, maybe because that app is installed and it pulls from that, or it's just common enough to be in Swype's dictionary. I don't know.
I never liked the swype gimmick, but I'm giving it another chance. I find that it's great for generic messages, stuff that's in the dictionary. It's when you get to stuff it doesn't know that you spend just as much effort as tapping.
So... what are you guys using, and why do you prefer it?
I was using perfect keyboard but I had the same problem with L and delete. Also when I hit the space bar a lot of times it'd take me to the home screen. That gets old quick when you've got a whole text written out and lose it. So don't use perfect keyboard.
I've tried a few other keyboards but right now I'm using the keyboard that comes with CNA and I'm good with it. Flash CNA and give it and the keyboard a try or ask someone what keyboard it is. I will not use swype again. I even tried a hybrid swype/normal and it still sucked.
Swift Key is pretty good when it comes to prediction...currently using swype though...haven't found one I'm completely happy with.
I like flex T9 got it as faotd a while back seems to for me better than swype.

Flex T9 was my keyboard of choice on my last phone, but I ditched it for Thumb Keyboard. Might have to revisit it. Also got it free on Amazon.
Never had luck with SwiftKeyX.

The new beta key layout kinda sucks cause I don't like how the ? mark key got replaced
I think different keyboards work for different hands. so a bit of experimentation does wonders.

Experimentation is the best way to learn what works for you, but you hit the nail on the head there. Hands, and personalities perhaps. The precise, the sloppy, and everything in between.

SwiftKey 3 beta. Previously using the Swype beta (shame the included Swype version is an older one). Smart Keyboard Pro was my go-to before that.
Sent from my Motorola Electrify
I can't find anything I like more than Smart Keyboard Pro. I install the English dictionary, turn the long press delay way down, increase key height, turn off haptic feedback, switch it to the HTC skin, and turn off dynamic key resizing. The only issue I have has been in every ICS based rom, the keyboard will freeze periodically and I'll just have to hit back and select the text box again to resume typing. It hasn't been enough of an annoyance yo make me switch.

Flex T9 on Photon and Thumb Keyboard on tablet.
Keyboards are a big thing for me, at any given time I have around 6-8 different keyboards installed.
Just for grins I installed the new Swype beta and it is a huge jump over what comes stock on the phone. I just wish it was easier to update.
I'm also trying out the new Swiftkey 3 beta and it's looking pretty good so far. Not much to say yet as this keyboard is really suppose to shine as you use it more so I've committed to using it over the next couple of weeks.

Has anyone tried to install the newly leaked "swype" standard keyboard on twisted's build? Does it work? Could it be included into the builds down the road?
I tried it. The one that is in the jb keyboard is better though. I still prefer typing. The swipe keyboard doesn't put spaces in so you're still stuck doing that.

Atleast it works so basically just download it, reboot into recovery, install it from the zip file, clean the cache, davlik cache and reboot the system? Hopefully twisted could build it in his build.

Clear caches first and then flash it. It does no good to do that after the fact.

I've been using the swype beta 1.3.1 keyboard and it works pretty well. I'm thinking I'll wait to flash the 4,2 keyboard until the next build comes out so it'll be over a clean install. Does it look like the 'real time' predictive text helps? Any overall thoughts between the 2?

The way I have done it is if you type a word that the dictionary does not recognize and it shows the red line under it if you tap on the word a dialog will come up asking you to save to dictionary and then you can swype it once you add it to the dictionary. Also if you go to System Settings > Language & Input > Personal Dictionaries > English. You can add words into your personal dictonary by hitting the + at the botton of the screen.

I've been using it for a few days now and like it. No stability issues so far. My only complaint is that it doesn't have volume key navigation (cm) and it lacks the extra gesture actions that swype offers. To be honest it doesn't seem functionally different than swype in terms of accuracy of the predictive text, and it does automatically include spaces.
First swiftkey and now Google, I hope for their sake swype has some patents hidden away.
i've been using my HTC One for over a month now.
it's great, but the keyboard shows with an increasing delay.
currently when i try to type something, it takes 1-2 seconds for the keyboard to show.
everything else is fast and responsive.
is it because it's loading some dictionary on every show?
is there a way to reset it ?
I haven't had that issue at all. Very fast for me. What see you trying to use it in? Was there a specific app this happens in?

The keyboard is not as good as the real Swype. It doesn't detect when your swiping is unintentionally off target. I had to download the real Swype keyboard to get comfortable again.

What I mean is, the stock keyboard also allows typing by simply sliding a finger from the first letter of a word to its last letter, just like Swype. But the stock keyboard is not as good in predicting the word you intend to type.
