Is it possible to install Swype keyboard on CM7 touchpad & if so how do I do it?
I am using Flex T9 keyboard which incorporates "swyping" and it works great.
Thanks I will try that... Though I would prefer genuine Swype just cause used to using that one on my Samsung Epic.
The TouchPad's screen resolution is not compatible with Swype.
Another alternative would be SlideIt.
It will work if you do what I mention in this posting. However, cannot distribute the apk, because swype requests you do not.

TBO, SlideIT keyboard works much better anyway. You dont have to loop for double letters, and it seems to be a lot more accurate. Works right out of the box, no hacks needed.

The biggest problem with SlideIT is that there isn't a way to switch from SlideIT to a different keyboard easily. Since I use ConnectBot, that makes SlideIT too much of a pain to use.

Most keyboards have a button to bring up the "Input options" menu, which contains an option to switch input methods. SlideIT does not.
Download a keyboard, mostly all of them have Swype and customizable backgrounds and everything!
I have the GO keyboard. It's got Swype!!!
I'm having trouble getting it working to be honest :/
The GO Keyboard? It took some fooling around with, but I finally go it perfect.

Long press on any text input box and select "Input options." Select your favorite keyboard and continue typing.

I just downloaded the GO keyboard, but I don't see the option to turn on the swype functionality. Where is it located in the settings?

This isn't true, I had it included in my earlier releases of XRONified but since it isn't included with the Touchpad, the mods asked I take it out.
It worked just fine too....
Don't know that I could use swype on my TP. It's a little large. I am doing great with thumb keyboard.
I will be looking into this! Thanks!

After reading around on these forums I went with "Thumb Keyboard". It works perfect and I even like it better than the Swype keyboard on my Droid. It's on the Market and is absolutely worth the $1.87.

I use uber keyboard because it always shows an option for voice entry. Same keyboard I use on my droid. You can get it from the marketplace... But you may need the market fix.
Alternate keyboard
I use SwiftKey.
You can load more than one language at once, scans your mail to anticipate on word patterns you actually use and also has the mike for vocal dictation.
Great keyboard. Available in the market.
Also had some success with smart keyboard but writing both in French and English, word suggestions were a hassle.
Does the EVO 3D have Swype on it? I love Swype and would miss it!
indeed it does
cool cause my wife and I are getting the phone probably next week or whenever Sprint gets ours in and she can't live without swipe.
It does but it's not enabled by default. You have to long press a text field... Choose "Input Method" and select swype keyboard and then you should be good to go!

And unfortunately, the older version of swype is preinstalled, so you can't even install the newer one.
I just tried to uninstall the preinstalled version and it doesn't even look like that's an option. I really want to update it to 3.0

Read the last paragraph. Will require root, though.
The original keyboard included with the 3d also can act like swype and I actually prefer it, just enable it on the setting its called tracing

The trace option isn't working for me. Doesn't matter, I'm use Shapewriter anyway.
Whats the big difference between shape writer and swipe?
So how does race trace work?
I enabled trace just to check it out. It works okay. But I would like to compare it to Swype 3.0. I do like the number layout on Swype more though. But trace is working okay for me.

To me, there is no BIG major difference. Swype has the swype key which makes it pretty easier to change words, add words, and get instant help. It's just as easy to add words using shapewriter, just tap add after typing the word.
Swype has that annoying pop up, that covers the screen, when predicting words. Shapewriter has the predicted words layed out horizontally above the keyboard.
Swype looks better, imo, and if you like sound when you type, Swype has that as well.
Other than that, they're pretty much the same. The Swype that is on our phones can't predict words as easily as 1.60 could.
hmm im gonna try this shape writer thing.

swype 3.0 is much better, doesn't have that annoying popup in the middle of the screen, it has a bar above the keyboard... but apparently we cant just update swype when its pre-installed, which is very annoying... ran into the same problem with my wife's droid X
The recent OTA update helps here. Went from Android 2.3.3 to 2.3.4; and Swype went from whatever it was to 3.21.87.28626.28659
I have seen some people ask about the Swype keyboard and I would just like to point out that the Asus keyboard that comes on the prime actually has this option embedded in the software already.
1. Go to input options under settings and make sure that the Asus keyboard (not Android) is selected.
2. Then, under the keyboard settings option, choose trace route and the stock keyboard will function as the swype keyboard does.
This keyboard is not as good as swype in my opinion, but it is cool that Asus gave it a shot.
I also apologize if this is in the wrong place for this thread, or if this topic has already been discussed.
Jason
Yeah I noticed that also. stock keyboards still blow though. I'm using slideIt keyboard. Its better than swipe. very fast and easy to use especially if you put it in portrait mode. although I have big hands, I can slide faster in portrait mode. it can work by sliding or regular mode. landscape or portrait mode is good. I've been hearing a lot about that thumb keyboard also. I might try it out soon.
Bad Stock Keyboards
Yes, that is the first thing I noticed was the bad keyboards available stock. They do have a swype type option that works ok but still not very good. None of the keyboard have the push and hold type keys for special characters which is a real pain.
I really want a keyboard with cursor arrows on the primary screen. Isn't everyone annoyed when thay have to make a correction and have to try to tap the screen to move the cursor back to just where you need it????????
Any other suggestions on good keyboard options out there?
Thumb keyboard is the best imo.

The new swype beta is awesome on a tablet. It's an open beta, just sign up and download it. Many new features as well as new dragon voice recognition by Nuance. Alternatively, SwiftKey x tablet is awesome as well, you can split the keyboard like thumb keyboard as well, and has the best predictions I've seen on any keyboard.

Agreed it is the best imo.
I will have to check it out. Never really thought about changing the keyboard until now. I am sure it could make a big difference.
On the stock keyboard, "Samsung keyboard", my predictive text has suddenly stopped working. The tab for the predictive text shows up... just no predictions. Can anyone help out?
Much appreciated :laugh:
Have you tried rebooting the phone? I thought the stock predictive text sucks so I've been using SwiftKeyX 3. I highly recommend it. The keyboard is easier to type on and the predictive text is 1000x better.

Plus you can use this keyboard on any phone. So when you get used to it...That's it! It works on all phones. Samsung's stock keyboard is a giant mess anyways! Also may wanna look up the new swipe keyboard. (Beta?) I hear that's also good! I still stand by SwiftKey though as my personal favorite.

I agree, that's why I use Smart Keyboard Pro which is BY FAR my favorite KB.
Well, I've been using Swiftkey's keyboard... it's just that whenever I typed in Korean, I'd want the predictive text to correct a few typos here and there. But I ended up downloading Google's Korean IME, and that worked just fine, so all is well.

Yes I've tried rebooting it; this keyboard is just stressful so I guess I'll just disable it.
http://beta.swype.com/android/supported/ Swype is a million times better than the stock keyboard and they have a Korean language pack. Been using it for a few days now and will not be going back to the stock keyboard.
Hey there guys, I have been on the hunt for the Best Android Keyboad, and I wanted to see what everyone here was using?? I have tried stock, predictive, and the slide type, (I have not had the chance to play with any of the other 3rd party keyboards, with all sorts of different technology's.
So, I was wondering if some of you fellow xda-ers wanted to weight in on this, and help guide me on my adventure??
Thanks in advance :cool

swype for normal language but my most preferred is hackers keyboard. latter has a full keyboard like on pc when in landscape mode. pretty awesome on big screens like galaxy note. also almost every keyboard has the stupid white text entry over the entire remaining screen where there is not the keyboard, which hides my chat windows away and makes landscape a pain. hackers keyboard does not do such. you have keyboard and chatlog.
I like Android 4.2's stock keyboard. It has everything you need. Predictive text, spell-checking, gesture typing, multiple finger gesture typing. I use English Azerty, and it is just great for me!
Swype, until I get 4.2
MultiLink keyboard :thumbup:

Swype, although the 4.2 keyboard's implementation of this looks nice. I also like Hacker's Keyboard on my tablet which is just a PC looking keyboard layout. If they could implement a Swype functionality with it then it would be my favorite.
Swiftkey 3 is my Favourite.
Simply because
1)It is more intuitive than the rest, thus producing more CORRECT Auto Correction
2)It learns your way of typing and in real time monitors all that you type and maintains your individual statistics
3)It individually Learns from your fb,sms,email and twitter threads.
4)It also provides a good number of visual customization options
Thus overall it proves to be the best package

Thanx guys for the input, and all the great info I find ShayonX, IMO, as to swiftkey 3, and as far as "prediction boards", go I think there is no better. I was actually going to go with swiftkey 3, but I just found it was lacking on skins, and customization. I like to be able 2 change the size, and width of my characters, (due to wide fingers), and skins are a great Addition
I tried Swift key 3, touchpal keyboard, go keyboard, and perfect keyboard, and ended up going with "perfect keyboard, bcuz the customization is very deatailed. I also tried swype style keyboard, but I found predictive to be the style for me.
I am running the Moto Phonton, so I won't be getting the 4.0 or 4.2 update, so is there anything else out there to look @??
