So I was looking at current android news on androidcentral.com when I read this article about swype being prepped for ICS. Apparently official swype for ICS hasn't even come out yet, which confuses me because I currently have swype working with ICS on my HTC Glacier. It could be that swype doesn't work on the Galaxy Nexus because it's a new device with different screen dimensions and the onscreen buttons, but it works on my Glacier because it's an older device running ICS and swype already supports it. I'm curious if anyone else has swype beta up and running on their device running ICS or if they're having issues with it.
i got it and it works perfectly. ICS on droid3
Are you able to download additional languages? I can't seem to download any. That's the only real issue I have worth Swype on my beta ICS ROM.

can someone post the apk?
You can get the Swype beta from the Swype beta site. Just sign up for the beta and you'll get a link to download the apk.

The reason why Swype is not working with ICS is that you cannot download additional languages. You can only use English and Spanish. They're working on it.

But the Galaxy S II only has GingerBread... unless you have a custom rom.

so far I have tried a lot of keyboards on the streak and the best one I have found is SlideIT from the android market..... the only thing is its a little bit on the pricey side but you can find the free one there too but only use it for a week.... you can use swipe on it and its really big.....
Wish swype would open beta again.

i know we cant post links to ripped or hacked versions of swype on xda. but you can find wvga (not hvga!) versions of 2.4.44.10912.t100 which is the latest version and works great.
what android are you on 2.1 or 2.2 from steve, if stock should work
As rumors on streaksmart.com are saying, Swype will be default keyboard on Dell´s official 2.2 for the Streak.
I can't wait for Blindtype to come out.

Maybe since google bought them it'll be released in gingerbread?!?
I hope the .apk will be out for it. We are just getting froyo, gingerbread might be a while more for us
I've been using swype and it's brilliant in portrait, not as great in landscape though. I don't think I'm allowed to post a link on this forum but if you Google swype wvga 2.6.47.11856 apk you'll find it
I use slideIt and like it.
Thanks for this tip. Slide It is awesome on my streak. The keys are huge and the swype like features are cool too.
Thanks!

no prob buddy... did you just get the demo or the full one i had the demo for a week and then had to bye the full one i love it on the streak
Okay this guy was able to get the gingerbread keyboard on "all" 2.1 and 2.2 devices. I installed it on the non-rooted mytouch 4g on 2.2.1 and it force closes when you try to type on it. If you want to try it here is the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9913510&posted=1#post9913510 if it works on your phone, how did you get it to work?

install cyanogen nightly with nexus s theme from the g2 thread. works just fine.
i second his request.. reading through the other two gb kb threads got me no working .apk for a rooted stock rom..
Just to let you know sense and aosp doesnt get along. even if you do get it working its responsive is slow and its auto corrections are horrible. Galaxy s vibrant is coming out with gingerbread auto corrections. If you really want the gingerbready keyboard flash cyanogen 6.1 nightly. It comes with gingerbread keyboard.

Well not exactly 'ctrl', but really the swype key then a/x/c/v. I'm not sure if it's me, or the rom that I'm using but it's just odd that this awesome feature cannot be used!
When I first got this stock with the Swype pre-installed, this feature doesn't work. So I was guessing maybe the swype is not as up to date. So I've rooted my phone, first tried MIUI rom, installed swype (as it did not have it) from the website and it had the swype + a/x/c/v function. SWEET!
I decided MIUI is not a rom for me but the themes were so pretty, but oh well. I went on and got Batista70 FoxHound Edition 2.2. It also didn't have swype so I installed it from the website. This time, it didn't work (the swype + a/x/c/v). Just wondering what's going on and how I can get this feature as it's so convenient!
Thanks in advance!
Noone but me that's having this problem? Any help would be nice.

I was wondering if anyone out there might be able to create a themed keyboard for TouchPal. Its a great Swype style keyboard that I find to be much better then Swype or SlideIT and its free in the market, but there are no themes for it. If someone would be able to create a blue letter on black button theme for it I would be forever indebted to you!

great idea. i too would like to see this keyboard themed. i find it to be much better than swype

There is a thread in Android apps forum for touchpal 5.1. There are themes available in that thread, but I don't know if they work with the 4.x version available in the market. If you get the updated touchpal from that thread, I recommend the 5.0 hotfix version.

Thanks a ton! This version is even better than the market version as well! I still don't find a theme that is exactly what I was looking for, but definitely a step in the right direction. Should have done some more searching before posting lol. Thanks again.
Thanks.
What do you mean?
You want to use Swype on ICS?
http://beta.swype.com/
go there, register, and download the .apk over to your phone.
Could you please clarify? Do you want an ICS rom that includes Swype? A modified version Swype?
I was just looking to get Swype keyboard on ICS. I didn't knew the beta program is open for registrations.
Thanks
Ah, I see. I thought that's what you wanted, but xriderx66 beat me to it anyways.
Yup the beta program is completely free. Once registered you are always free to download it on any phone and any OS version 2.1+.
