Swype tutorial is annoying!

Does anyone know how to stop the swype tutorial from popping up after every swype error on an unrooted vibrant? This is obsurd...
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Just remove Swype Tips apk.
They still pop up after having removed swype tips.
yes it is
Very annoying but just go through after you root then it is gone i have not figured a way around, because it is embedded in the program.....oh well

Import Keyboard from Eclair to Froyo?!

Hi guys,
I would like to install the Beta 4, but the installed Keyboard s*cks! Is it possible to import the old Keyboard from Android 2.1 to 2.2? It would be very nice ! I now there are some alternatives, but they're not so good as the one from SE!

I would also be interested in this. Samsung dropped the stock Froyo keyboard completely so I had to find the Gingerbread keyboard. It's nice, but the keys are smaller. I'd like to have the Eclair keyboard around as an option too.
Have you tried Swype? I use it and it rocks. It's a beta, but I have loved it so far.

No. I've tried it. I just can't get used to Swype and typing on the Swype keyboard produces a lot of errors.
But the main thing is my wife. It's her phone and she's the one that can't seem to use anything other than the Android keyboard. I actually type quite well on the Samsung one but she hates it and Swype is even worse for her.
There are settings on Swype that let you adjust for accuracy and speed. It's something that you have to get used to. It's not for everyone. I am using it to type this message.

Any way to use alternative launcher as default?

Meaning.....like getting launcher pro to run as default, while stock twiz DOESN'T run in background.
Make launcher pro run in background the way that twiz does...so it doesn't take up any extra ram in task manager.
Anyone know if this is possible?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
When you launch the launcher of your choice through hitting home you'll get a dialog box. Check the one you want. Go to titanium and freeze the launcher you don't use.
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
But that'll still run that launcher on top of twiz. You'll still see that launcher in task manager. What I'm asking is if someone can make a specific launcher run the way twiz does. Kinda like the way these non twiz roms run aosp froyo/gb launchers

I'm hoping for solutions, not suggestions on new roms...I'm happy with bionix v. Not gonna change roms till there's a stable gb release from team whiskey.
I'm just wondering how devs are able to apply the aosp launcher to run in the background, and if this is possible with launcher pro instead.

If you have launcher pro installed just use root explorer to delete the touchwiz from the system/app folder.

That wasn't a suggestion tbh, it was a solution.
Getting a ROM with no TouchWiz will completely solve all your issues with this...
Also.. since you have bionix v... did you get the touchwiz one? just flash the one without it... same look, same feel, just no touchwiz.
It's not that I wanna remove touchwiz. I just want launcher pro to run in background the way touchwiz does.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Wouldn't selecting launcher pro as default when you click home work justl ike that??
Run in background....meaning it doesn't show up in task manager. Like touchwiz.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Oh...
Its in task manager no matter what u do... U cant remove it from that
Yes delete Touch Jizz uh i mean touch whiz is the best solution
If you freeze it in titanium it wont show or run in background. Because it essentially isn't recognized as an installed app for practical purposes. For example I have launcher pro and touchwiz installed but I use dxtop. I don't want to get rid of the others, I have an wp7 setup I'm working on in lp. But I have them both frozen, and they don't show up in task manager.
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.

why don't u try instaling a gingerbread keyboard from market or try swype it's very good

how to install swype on gingerbread keyboard

Well the title saids it all. I really like gingerbread keyboard but i love swype. How can install swype or if i cant then how can i just install swipe frojo keyboard instead? Im much better tipping with swype then just tipping.
Thanks
I don't think you can. Swype isn't just a function over the original keyboard; it's an entirely separate program itself.
You can install Swype separately, though. You can go to the Swype website and sign up for their beta. They send an email including a link to the apk installer. That's what I did when I was using a Nexus S.
But I wouldn't have thought you'd have to, given that the Vibrant comes with Swype. Are you sure you can't just select it in your settings menu? No matter the rom I've flashed, I've retained access to Swype on my Vibrant. Of course, they may have just included Swype. Not sure.
Hope that helps.
I have no clue what you are trying to ask.. but why not just use swype and a GB theme?
OR, use tasker and have it so portrait is swype and landscape is the GB keyboard.
The problem i have is that the trigger 3.2 seen not to have swype. I will edit the rom and replace the keyboard.apk
Thanks

Trigger comes with the Swype Beta Installer. If you have the beta, just sign in to it. If you do not have the beta yet, go to swypes website and register for the beta then open the app on your phone.
There are themes in the theme section for swype once you are up and running.
Tasker is an app in the market that allows total control over what your phone does.
