Swype Beta - Motorola Photon 4G

I was wondering if anyone on here installed Swype Beta? It's supposed to fix a few things that I have gripes with. http://beta.swype.com/
Here was a good thread on how to do it to a Galaxy S. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154334 Must be rooted.

Swype sucks. Try this. I have not had a single issue on the Photon
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.beautifulapps.superkeyboard.free&hl=en

I did it once based on information found here somewhere. I found the beta was quite a bit heavier than the stock though.

Anybody know where i can find the themed blue swype apk?

[Q] New Youtube app

Anyone got their hands on this new update? if so does it work on the vibrant even tho we don't have froyo yet?
It's amazing on my droid x. You'll love it in a month or two (or three or four) when the vibrant finally gets froyo.
whats the version #?

It won't work unless you flash one of the froyo roms on here. Just like Flash, the new Gmail, Adobe Air, etc., it's only available for 2.2
has that been confirmed, or is that an assumption? some of the "2.2-only" apps have worked just fine on 2.1, while others do not.

Same thing I was thinking..maybe someone will upload the apk so we can check.
I seriously doubt a simple youtube re-design would need froyo. Example: (the 2.2 only market works fine on 2.1)

Yeah, so what's the big deal about 2.2 then?
I see so many people just saying to wait and give Samsung all the time they need to complete it.
But, Samsung is 2-3 months and counting behind HTC and Motorola for delivering 2.2. It's really getting to the point where it's not acceptable. How did they fall so far behind with a phone that's shipped 5 million units?!

I figure this was a question, but I clicked on the thread anyway, hoping it was a statement of successful installation!
Hah sorry to get your hopes up! I would imagine it would install without a problem though, we are running HC after all. The issue I see is booting it up and it looking for a service or hardware we don't have.
Perhaps if someone is kind enough they could venture on over to the Xoom forums and ask around for an apk?

Remember we are only running a premature "preview" HC. Any APKs from the XOOM may require one or more API only present in the final SDK build. Also, any app that requires "Renderscript" will fail too. For example, the YouTube and Google Books apps require Renderscript. Perhaps the CNN app does also.
The CNN app for Android Phones came out. Does anybody had the apk since the Nookcolor won't show it in market. Thanks.
I'm pretty sure there are both a honeycomb and a "standard" version.
Got it from my G1. Installed fine on the nook. Pretty basic, but doesn't look as hot as the honeycomb version.
I grabbed the .APK from my Epic. It wouldn't install on my Nook. Perhaps it is time to share the G1 Version?
Looked up the rules and I think it's okay.
Here ya go. I'm running CM7 stable and OC'd 4/18c, and it works.

EXACTLY. The OP is talking about a "tablet app" that "came out today" for his NC running HC....well, that "today" was in February...the "tablet app" for HC has been out for a month. Every other post about so-and-so CNN app, under this month old post, can and will be confusing to some.....
Here, I'll be the ****:

[Q] CM7 Nightlies

Just a quick noobish question, maybe someone else will also benefit from having answered - where can I find the CM7 nightlies for the AT&T GS2? I know there is a link in the official CM7 thread to nightlies, but it appears to only be for the I-9100 (International) GS2 and not for the AT&T version. Is this correct? Can I flash a nightly as long as it says GS2 or must it be an AT&T version? I'm a bit confused on that one. Sorry if the question is dumb, but I couldn't find an answer for that.
I have flashed CM7 nightlies as well but they haven't put the actual builds out yet. Instead they are updating the original from the first post. The latest build is 10/25. They are using this method until they get nightlies up. Do not use the international version updates as they are not the same. It actually won't let you install it. Here is the link to the nightlies when they come:
http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=galaxys2att
On a side note, it looks as if they just posted the first nightly! How awesome is that. Make sure to do a backup before installing from zip.

Awesome! Thanks for the response. I have ROM Manager Premium and nothing new ever shows up in it and every time I checked http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=galaxys2att I never see anything...
Though now that I see your edit, it looks like it's there too! Sweet! Okay, I will be sure to check both links. Any idea why they aren't showing up in ROM Manager?
I've been trying to figure that one out to and have asked in the Dev post. I assume that since I've got the 10/25 update this is just a repackaged version of the same one. Maybe we'll have to wait until the next. If I hear anything I'll let you know.

Excellent. Definitely let me know either by PM or even updating this thread so others can find out as well.
Not that I thought it would be fixed because I'm not sure where the problem is, but I still can't get Media Hub working even on the new nightly Anyone know why that might be?

if the Media Hub app you are talking about is a Samsung app, it won't work. No samsung apps will work with CM7.

The nightly finally showed up in ROM Manager. Just select "Download ROM" with in RM and CM7 Nightly should be a choice. Working great for me so far.

Hmm.. I dont think it is. From what I understand, is that none of the Samsung apps will work because of the partition that CM7 uses. (Or something like that) Not sure exactly why but I'm 99% sure Samsung apps wont work. It was like that for my captivate also. I'm sorry I don't know the technical answer.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it was included in the Epic 4G Touch version of CM7. Also, I did see a few threads that said if you want to keep Media Hub, just use Titanium Backup to port it over, just be sure to do App Only when you restore and not data. I tried that but couldn't get it to work. I'm guessing it requires some other system files, but I wouldn't know for sure. Development is not my thing.

What do I need to do to install TW4.5? When I tried doing it through ADB, I got Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]. I copied it onto storage and tried installing straight on the phone, and it tells application not installed.

Two things I've noticed right off the bat.
1. My wifi keeps dropping every once in a while(had a similar problem with another rom using a 2.3.6 leak)
2. Home button has a little lag.
edit: Searched Android 2.3.6 wifi problems and I got a ton of results with people saying the same thing.
edit: flashing to something else for now. Sorry OP. Everything else looked pretty good too.

Swype beta problems on rezound

anybody else had problems with Swype beta on rezound? It can't keep up with how fast I Swype. Bionic and ThunderBolt don't have a problem. Any idea how to fix it's very annoying. I can Swype very very slow and it will recognize it but any speed it just throws letters like crazy really need help!!

I, as well as many others, don't have any problems with it.
Occasionally mine will act as if I lifted my finger and started a new word messing things up. However that doesn't happen very often.
My new problem is I flashed a new ROM that is based on ICS. When I re -run the installer it still tries pushing a Gingerbread version of Swype on the phone. At least I assume it is when the version is 3.6.XXX for the Swype apk.
Speaking of Swype can anyone say "Worlds Longest Beat"...lol.

The problem doesn't happen for ANYone who doesn't swype fast.
But it's happened with me on every Rezound I've played with on every working version of Swype.
I swype faster than most people full-keyboard type.
I've just resolved to Swyping slower. your Rezound will do it too, trust me.
If you have installed the update, I do believe it fixed the choppiness across the middle of the screen. I am not for sure though, but I know they did add support for higher resolution screens and ICS. My experience after one day has been very good as far as the choppiness is concerned. It seems as if I no longer have to worry about swyping fast and it screwing up.
I was having the same problem when I first installed it - but it seems to have 'fixed' itself as I have a full screen keyboard now...
Before
After
This what one of the Swype devs on their board says in regard to the word splitting problem which he thinks is caused by refresh rates and polling:
We make polling adjustments for problems like this on production builds that we distribute to our OEM partners; however unfortunately it is not in the scope of the beta test to resolve these issues on devices they may crop up on. It may work in a later build, but I can't guarantee it, sorry. :-(
