Can we do this w/o root?
Swype 2 sucks after the 3b version >_<
The installer requires you to disable swype (uncheck it as an available keyboard) before it will allow you to install the beta.
Work around thought;
backup on the 4g, restore to the 3d? But I think licensing problems will exist =(
On Swype site it says if your phone came with swype it won't work.

Yeah, well, I thought maybe someone knew a trick.
If you go to HTC or Sprint's sites, they don't say the 4g can be rooted or custom roms can be flashed... Trust in the community
Anyway, I got it installed from a backup - and it works, I can tap/type with it, but the license isn't valid due to the strange install procedure, so no swyping
I uninstalled the "update" and it works again in 2.x mode :-/
Soon enough, I suppose.

try this and tell me if it works. make sure android keyboard is selected in kb settings. retore your backup of swype beta installer and swype kb, go open messaging and then change your imput method back to swype.
im thinking this will work

Completely agree. I was diggin' the 3 beta on my Hero and this version on the E3D is terrible.
I don't get why swype can't figure out how to let us update the app to the beta. seems rather simple but maybe im missing something.

Since the app is installed by the OEM in an area that doesn't allow writing to, you can't overwrite it with the new version. The OEMs also do not allow uninstalling of the app.
It sucks hard! Another reason to root.
The stock swype on the 3VO worked fine for a few days but the last two it has sucked some major ass. Its suggesting words in different languages and not picking anything close to what I intended when I swyped. Anyone else having this problem?
Also, I heard the HTC IME has a similar feature, how does that work for everyone?

It appears that many MoPho users love Swiftkey X. I love it too but the one thing it is missing that prevents it from being a perfect 10 in my book is the ability to create custom shortcuts (ie. icub = "I'll call you back", sul = "see you later", etc.).
If you would like to see this feature and others added to Swiftkey, please cast your votes here!
I've used Swiftkey X in the past, and have not liked it. Maybe it's been improved and I'll give it another try. My keyboard of choice is the ICS Keyboard. I love it, and the autocorrect is so accurate!
Swiftkey is good but I completely ditched it when I tried thumb keyboard. I will never use another...
Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk
Does thumb keyboard and ICS keyboard support custom shortcuts/ autotext?
I like Swype. But it has given me quite a few text where I need to double take on since I don't proof read ... Let me mind you this is only started happening since using the beta.
Example I dressed as Santa for a friends kids.. Later on that Nite the grand mother asked me to put the suit back on so she and a friend could take a bunch of photos so they could use them for next years post cards...
So my friend Jon shoots me a text the next day saying thanks for dressing up fire the kids.. So I text back that I put the suit back on for some photos.. For post cards but instead of post cards Swype insists I am writing *****...
That took a little explaining.. True story.. Also all of this was written with Swype and not once did it mistake a clearly written post for *****.. Damn Swype and its learning...
^^ One word... WOW! ^^
Since I dropped swift x I haven't had any keyboard lockups... I won't try it again until the next OS release.

Smart Keyboard Pro caused lockups for me and SwiftKey caused lockups for you; I guess picking the right keyboard is really important, huh?
Which keyboard are you currently using and do you like it?
I've been using A.I.Type Keyboard and I really like it. The only problem is it can't keep up with my typing speed and bogs down sometimes. However, no "lockups". Thankfully!
I have used swype (even the new update) and Still can't beat my Swiftkey X, I've tried many and I always go back to Swiftkey X.. Yes I just Love it, it reads my mind, predicts my next word 80% of the time..

Words
I used Swiftkey X on my Evo 4G. Loved it. On my Photon since the screen is a hair smaller I have had a few problems adjusting.
Seriously though. Swift key is fast enough that I can type words. Sentences even.
I have to say I truly hate what is happening to language because of texting.
As I'm a new registered user I'm forced to make this post here.
I have been experiencing some lag with the 1.7 rom in conjunction with Slideit. When I select a text box it will take 2-3 second before the onboard keyboard shows up.
I have tested this with Swype and it doesnt suffer from this lag. I can't even get to 1. Now i know the smart thing to do is just use swype and i most likly will but i wanted to let people know that it is a problem and maybe they can correct it.
It wouldn't allow you to tag this to the existing CleanRom thread?

Are you using the free version of that keyboard? I'm on a different ROM but was using the free version and know exactly what you were talking about. It was incredibly annoying. It would take way too long for the stupid keyboard to open up. I bought the keyboard anyway just to try it and all my problems went away. I haven't noticed the lag and have had better results with my typing since buying it. Just a thought.

No I'm using the 10 cent version that google had on sale a few months ago.
I'll just try a reinstall and see what is wrong
Hey guys!
I have a small favor to ask, and I figure this is probably the best place. I was wondering if anyone with the Note could open up a quick text message with Swype on and try something for me.
When the keyboard pops up, take your index finger and swipe back and forth very quickly on the letters. You don't have to type anything specific, just go back and forth fast.
Could you let me know which of the two scenarios occur?
1) Nothing happens until you finally stop swiping and when you do, you get one long word and/or a message saying that it wasn't recognized; or,
2) You get a bunch of small words that are being entered WHILE you're going back and forth.
One of these two have to result, and I found some inconsistencies with the touch screen today.
Thanks <33
Both occur depending on speed when I go at the speed I would have used on my Captivate it breaks it up into little words (used swype for almost two years so quickly) but when I slow down it works normally. I found this issue out when I first got my phone and sadly had to switch from swype as I cant swype near "full speed".

Ok, so I'm assuming that you're saying your Note is affected by this as well?
I ask because I was in the vicinity of a few other Notes today. The issue was confirmed on 2 out of the 5 devices. You could not force the Swype to break on the other 3 no matter how insanely fast you swiped. I have a feeling the issue is a little more wide-spread that I had originally thought. Swype is literally unusable for me in this state, I can't swipe nearly as fast as I'm used to, and it causes me to actually type way slower than I'm used to because of it. I have a replacement on the way, but I wanted to dig a little into the problem in the meantime.
Edit:
I wanted to add, it doesn't matter which rom I'm on, which version of Android, or which version of Swype. I've tried it all.
I don't have any issues on mine. I do use the s pen tho. Pretty damn fast too. Quick question though, do you usually Swype back and forth whilst typing etc.

Swiping back and forth is just a surefire way to reproduce the problem. For someone that swipes fast, it makes the problem a real issue. A friend of mine on an unaffected Note tried using mine to swype and he instantly recognized that he wasn't able to.

Just out of curiosity, and only because I just did this, what happens if you boot into CWM and format cache (not dalvik). It's the option under mounts and storage -> format cache.

Sounds like you have a good Note.
I've formatted the cache partition about 40 times since I've had the Note. My problem persists through all of that. It was an issue with the stock GB, and DAG's ROM, and the ICS roms that I'm testing now. They are all the same.
I am envious of you. Hopefully my new one will work right.
Other tweaks I've made since upgrading to ICS has been to reduce my animation transitions to .5x (from 1x) and reduce VM heap from 256 to 128.
Just trying to think of any little thing that might help for some reason.
Edit: also have 2D rendering forced on in developer settings.

Edit: interesting. just tried the same using my finger instead. get short words a lot. sometimes none, but often it starts breaking it up. So I think someone else reported this same finding so it must lie somewhere within that. To me though I hate using swype with my finger. Unless I just washed my hands there's way too much drag to swype quickly. With the s.pen I can go twice as fast and oddly enough this issue does not appear.

Yep, that's the issue. I dislike using the s-pen for Swype, but that's totally a preference thing. I can go as fast as I need to with my finger, most of the time.
There is a variable here somewhere. You are inflicted with the same issue with your finger that a couple of us have, where I've personally tested this on two Notes where I could confirm it wasn't a problem. I hate to just think it's some flaw in the touch screens, but I don't know what else to try.

I'm on ICS.
And I'm curious what you're testing...
I just got my phone and most of the time when receiving a email I'll pull down the menu and it keeps going back up automatically. After trying like 3 times it finally stays down. Does anyone else has this issue?
Not to insult your intelligence or anything but are you pulling the bar all the way down? When I was on GB if I didn't pull it all the way down it'd wonk out on me and shoot back up if I did it too fast.

Yes I pull it all the way down like 3 times then if lucky it will stay down. After reading emails the pull down menu works fine.The work arounds I found is to put my finger at the top of screen and quickly flick downward then it will stay. With my old phone using it's default rom and Cyanogenmod 7, this never happend. The second work around is to use a small app called, One Click Status Bar. Place it on the home screen and when it's tapped the menu drops down.

Your phone must be rooted to have ICS. I'm debating on doing this because I like using CyanogenMod. One of the problems with rooted phones is that the market doesn't recognize the phone and paid apps disappear and it force closes alot.

I flash around a lot usually spending about a couple weeks on different Roms to test and compare features and I can say I never had a problem with Google play ever recognizing any of my paid apps.
The force closes on the other hand do happen, but very rarely if you run a good rom, and don't do anything you're not supposed to

When a phone is rooted the Google server no longer knows what device is being used. You can check this out by logging into Google wallet and look under your device list. You'll also notice that some apps show up for different os like with gingerbread and some don't for ics. After rooting the server doesn't know what apps work with the phone and at times makes some of your paid apps disappear and preventing potential future downloads.

Very true, I apologize. But you must realize that this site EXISTS for the simple idea that we, the members of it(evidently not all of them), do not want our phones stock.
The only support you'll get from a stock ROM, is from the at&t store.
and the "was not" was meant that way. I feel its a stronger form of the word rather than wasn't

But the bottom line is man, if you want to stay stock, there's really nothing we can do, other than advise to wipe data/factory reset via 3e recovery.
What you may have thought you knew about issues that come by rooting your phone, are maybe 1 in a 100, and most likely caused by the person themselves.
There are a few ROM's that are based on at&t "official" leaks. but there rooted.

I think you may be confusing some of your facts. That may hold true for some unbranded chinese tablets running ICS. Those ROMs have to operate as a brand name "something else" just to get market to recognize the device.
The same is not true with our phones. Root away! The issues you're concerned about do not exist on name brand android devices.
I know in the market there is an ICS keyboard, but it's not as accurate as the normal ICS keyboard.
I have no problem putzing around with the system and replacing the files needed, but is there a way to extract the stock keyboard from my GSII backup (CM9) and install it on the GSIII?
EDIT: I found latinIME.apk, not sure if the one from the GSII CM9 can go into the GSIII but if it can, I'll report back. Nandroiding now so in case I screw it up, I can restore.
EDIT 2: SUCCESS! Writeup coming for Development.
The one from the market is the same thing as the one on CM9.

Looks the same, definitely doesn't react the same way. I got more typos on it than I ever did with my GSII on CM9. I had the same issue with it before the GSII had CM9. Something is wonky about the autocorrect in it.

Interesting, I never had any issues. Is your auto-correct aggressiveness different maybe?

Nope. I tried turning it up to see if it helped, never did. Something just weird about it. I know it's not 100% the same because the guy who released it, actually took feedback about the way the keyboard responded and added in features. Originally the keyboard wouldn't autocorrect ok to OK and I requested he fix it (since the GB keyboard had that) and he did. From what I could tell he built it from the ICS sources so it could be added to other devices not running ICS. That might explain why I had the issues I had. I don't know if the CM9 LatinIME.apk would run on a 2.3 device so that might be where his development of such came from.
I do speak of https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=inputmethod.latin.ported&hl=en He did also add theming to such and more. The stock CM9 keyboard has pretty much none of the extra modifications he added. I very well could be typing faster than his keyboard can keep up with, I have no idea, but I can say the only "Keyboard" that had accurate autocorrect was the CM9/ICS keyboard.

There's also a few versions in the market so we might have had different ones. Either way, glad you got it to work

Right, it very well could be another keyboard people installed, but rather than try to track down the perfect one, why not just install the right one straight from CM9?
