Hi everybody, TouchType Ltd. have decided to release their latest beta for the ever popular SwiftKey today for free
Seeing as the demand for the beta is hammering their servers, I decided to upload the .apk to my dropbox for everybody to enjoy. Just download and install like you would with any other app
Here's the file: http://db.tt/GHjXdQi7
FYI, this is a FREE, OPEN beta and therefore this is a FREE APP. I understand the rules of xda, and I do not condone or promote pirating in any way!
I got it from them and I really like it so far.

+1 By far their best release. It's kept me off swype for a whole 2 hours so far. That might be a record

Typing this on the new version of swift k x. THIS IS AMAZING. Thanks for sharing with us...
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
I bought swift key x, for some odd reason i can't get away from the stock android keyboard.
I like it, but think I still prefer Perfect Keyboard. It seems to me the new smart space feature in the Swiftkey is a little too agressive. I sometimes end up getting spaces where I didn't want them.
i guess i'm the only one who thought it's terrible? I tried it to see if its any better than AI Type that I've been using for over a year. I switched back.

Ha ha...I typically have the opposite problem with swiftkey products - try to add 2 spaces after a sentence and end up with a predicted word instead. I always have to turn off "space bar inserts predicted word" because of this, and it kinda hinders the usability of swiftkey.
Made it about 14 hours (8 of which I was sleeping) before going back to swype
SwiftKey works really well for me. Swype is annoying and the samsung keyboard is awful.

^^^^this - tried renaming a file and it decided for me that I was trying for a sentence - I need to see if it can be toned down.
Loving it so far! thanks
Thanks for posting this. Glad to see more themes.
I like it so far but I don't like how it inserts spaces after I choose a word and how there isn't a long press question mark key.

I was confused about the question mark too, but today I realized that if you swipe the period key to the left, it automatically uses the other available punctuation depending on how far you swipe. Pretty cool
It took some getting used to, but u love this feature now.

I didn't like that - I also don't know why they swapped the mic button and the number/symbol button. And there's no way I can find to turn off the aggressive parsing of one word/filename into a sentence.
I went back to the original Swiftkey - new is not always better

Well, it's a beta. Maybe it will get better. I love that the space bar is longer. That used to always trip me up. Plus I don't even need a space bar anymore. Lol.

The title pretty much sums it up. I went to swype.com, checked the FAQ's, and visited the forums. The closest they get is 1280 x 800 for tablets. We need 1280 x 720.
Bummer...
***EDIT***
SWIPE WORKS! The newest beta is amazing!
works just fine here
Works fine for me too!
I have the problem where if I Swype too fast it cuts off my word and makes it two separate, irrelevant ones.

I'd already done that, but it's a good suggestion. Maybe it'll happen less after I get used to it again. I'd switched to SlideIT and then SwiftKey before returning to Swype just recently.
I haven't had the issue. I have had a few instances of it bouncing around, but it was because I had another finger on the screen, or it was damp/dirty.

I had actually purchased this keyboard for a Dell Streak 7 I owned. I sold the Streak and had forgotten about this great keyboard until I was going through my email's and ran across the link / activation from where I had purchased it.
Anyway long story short, the version is now up to 4.5, it's skinnable and has many free skins to choose from. Also hand writing recognition like Samsung's keyboard. You can also set your own landscape / portrait layouts as well.
There is a 15 day free trial to see if it suits you, just thought I might recommend this, my old activation key worked with the newest version, if any of you guys have used it on previous devices your license will transfer fine.
Try it out and leave your comments here.

Im having a hard time finding a decent keyboard for the Rezound. Here is the issue, I really don't like the standard HTC keyboard. The buttons are backwards as far as Im concerned.
Problem is when I try a different one, ICS keyboard from the market, swype etc they are way too small because of the Rezound screen. Also when I say too small I mean the width in addition to the height.
Ive seen a few keyboards where you can actually mod the height but not the width, which I honestly dont get. Well my primary problem is hitting the letter next to the one I actually want because the keys aren't wide enough.
Is there any keyboard out there thats basically the standard ASOP keyboard, but the same size as the HTC one, that would be perfect for me. I cant seem to find one.
Swiftkey Beta 3 is free for now. Best keyboard I've used to date.

I seriously need a new keyboard too. I loved swype on the incredible. It was beast mode, I could text and type as fast as typing on my computer. I can't find a decent keyboard on this thing. I can't use swype because it breaks and can't swype no where near as fast as I could on the incredible. I tried swiftkey and didn't really like that either. I currently use the trace on the HTCkeyboard and I can't stand it either. It's no where near as accurate as swype.
Does anyone know of some swypelike keyboards that don't break on the Rezound?

Been using swift key a long time, definitely like flow.. But it isn't as good as swype "used" to be. Flow struggles with a lot of words that have back to back same letters like "kiss".. It also struggles swiping words I added to my dictionary.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I hate that in flow mode you can't swipe backwards to delete the previous word or swipe downward to hide the keyboard.
I think SwiftKey is fine the way it is without flow, I'm just way faster and more accurate at tapping. If you are using two thumbs then you can tap letters on the far left of the keyboard, then far right, and far left again very quickly (like typing "mama" = taptaptaptap) and with flow you have to travel the length of the keyboard three times.
Anyway that's my 2¢, I'm using the SwiftKey Beta but I have that flow sh*t turned off.
Sent from my EVO
I'm also using SwiftKey minus the flow. Not a big fan of swiping, because my thumbs are so big I can't really see where in at on the keyboard. The keyboard itself is really nice though, prediction and auto correct are really good too.

If it works very well/very polished, don't see why you'd say that then. I don't know anyone who doesn't use fb, techies included.
If XDA made a launcher, I wouldn't use it most likely either unless it had more options than the current launchers on the market. I sure as hell wouldn't go around saying this launcher is just for the techies though.
I don't see the harm in trying it out. I backed the Chameleon launcher and used it for awhile on my nexus 7. Then I tried it for awhile on my N2 when it came available. I'm not currently using it on either, but I don't see any harm in trying it out.

I agree. At least take a look and see what the competition is up to!
Most of you are replying about the launcher, where as I see his question is : "Anyone going to get the home?" meaning the phone itself.
