Howdy all. Not sure if this is old news, but I just did a clean install of Swype on Venasaur ROM. It displays at it's full, proper size now!
Up until now, I'd been using an old, pre-"ICS support" version that I backed up in TiBu, so this is news to me at least!

Does it stop swyping in the middle of long words that run across the keyboard?
EDIT: Just installed. Was working well. Then started running into the same problem. Quits swyping in the middle of words.
Thanks for the heads up! Just installed it on my Rezound running CleanROM 4.5 and the keyboard now displays at the proper size.
This is old news for me ever since I got the Rezound in February my Swype has worked just fine as far as how it fits on the screen. Now when I try to swype fast is another story.

Swype hasn't worked on ICS for quite some time for most people unless you had a GB backup.
As far as broken Swypes and fast Swypes are concerned, go into your Swype settings and set speed vs accuracy all the way to the right.
If you're still having problems, what roms are you all using?

I'm on latest ICS firmware and except for having to switch to landscape and back when restarting I haven't had any problems with Swype. I don't know that many big words so maybe that's why

That still rotation trick only puts Swype at about 3/4 its proper size, if that. What ROM? I'm on Venasaur, which is a Sense 4 based ROM.

Yea still not working for me if I swype to fast. Running cleanrom 4.5 btw which is on sense 3.6 if that makes a difference

Good to know. I'm trying to collect as much data as possible on this. Here's the history as I know it for us/me right now. Please feel free to contribute, everybody, do we can pin down gotten to get Swype functioning properly. Swype version numbers would be helpful too.
Pre-ICS "compatible" version of Swype functions at full size with the occasional bug. (personally tested myself, on GB and ICS Sense 3.6). Speed/accuracy slider fix required.
Post "compatible" version loads as a tiny corner. Rotate trick restores it to 75% sty size. (personally tested myself, ICS Sense 3.6). Speed/accuracy slider fix possibly required.
Current version runs 100% size, Speed/accuracy slider fix not required but helpful (personally tested, ICS Sense 4)

I read this post a couple of days ago and though you were kidding! lol
I just deleted my old Swype and installed the newest beta and it works great on Venasaur 3.2. I had been using the ICS keyboard on Venasaur that has the trace functionality too because of the larger keys, but it's either not as good as Swype or I'm just not used to it yet.
Edit: I've been using the older Swype for so long I thought the smaller keys were just standard for Swype!

Lol nope. So it's working for you too, eh? I wonder if the version of Swype was the issue, or Sense 3.6? No....it had to be Swype. The GB version of Swype still worked. Anybody out there running Sense 3.6 with a successful current version of Swype?

Up to this point, I've not had any issues with Swype... I was using GB...
Now, I get the same issues others are mentioning. Attempted use the installer to get the current Beta, but all I get is a Parse Error after selecting the Beta and hitting the download button.
I re-installed the GB version I was using, but it still messes up.
I seem to remember we had this problem last year and I had to uninstall the installer, re install it and I even had to log in and have the link for installer sent to me again
Just did all that. Still getting parsing error... Using slideit and its no swype...
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
Cant install either, same parsing error.
Weird. I've never heard of getting a parsing error. Try wiping and uninstalling Swype and Swype installer using titanium, and then wipe cache and dalvik in recovery to make sure every shred of it is gone. Then download the installer fresh again, and give it another shot.

Is anyone else totally annoyed with the Swype cursor mover covering the W when the keyboard opens? You can't use it until the damn thing goes away. Usually only takes 3-4seconds but it's still annoying. Anyone know how to make it not come up at keyboard open?
If you hit the backspace button it goes away but yeah it is annoying. That's one of the few reasons why I don't use swype any more.

Well hitting backspace makes it somewhat more tollerable. Never knew that would make it go away faster. Thanks!

I can't see what you are talking about at all. I'm using UnNamed, so that may have something to do with it, but you just can't use the letter W for a few seconds? Interesting...

When using Swype as your keyboard, when the keyboard originally pops up, it has a blue trapezoid shape that you use to move the cursor around. Where it sits is covering the W. So if I want to start with any word that starts with W, I have to wait a few seconds for it to disappear and is annoying.

Are you using the current beta version? (3.26.92D.37604.t0.7207.ENSP) I just checked out this issue cause I had it before with the older version of the beta, and it seems to be gone.

I've never changed the version that came with the ROMs that I had flashed but do know it was across all the ROMs I've tried. Where can I get this beta version?

You can go to http://beta.swype.com/ to sign up.
Before you install you will have to use Titanium Backup to uninstall the current version of Swype (you can make a backup if you would like)
After you sign up you should get an email that says ur in with a link to download swype installer.
*edit* Also make sure in Settings>Applications that Unknown Sources is Checked that way you can download and install the installer. *edit*
Has anyone else noticed that while using the Swype keyboard it us not possible to enter numbers in payment fields on the internet?
Example: I go to transfer money from one bank account to another. Where I enter the dollar amount i can not input numbers unless I switch keyboards, but I can put in other characters.
This being said, I am able to enters numbers into other areas with my Swype keyboard "1234567890"...see? It works here, so why not where I'll actually use it? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Not a problem for me, but i'm on a custom ROM, so browser/android version/swype version is likely different. Are you rooted? Why note install the beta? It's probably more up to date than what you're using.
I uninstalled the version that came with the phone and downloaded the beta. It installed the tablet version of Swype, which had a different configuration and smaller keys in portrait mode.
I tested the issue you described and I don't have it. I can enter numbers fine in Ebay fields. The tablet version automatically switched to a number pad actually.
Yeah, I'm rooted and OCed thanks to DA_G's threads.
I think I'll try out the tablet version. Thanks guys.

Thanks, i like new swype beta, and yellow on it looks better than blue to me.
Just installed Swype beta but I think the keyboard is a bit too small for me. Any idea on how to get the non-tablet version?
Alright Ive attempted to search and find a version of touchwiz that will work on ics. I have shostock 1.3 .in the previous versions i just restored it using titanium. I tried to on 1.3 and it will only fc. Never runs. I did find a working version but it doesnt have any widgets or infinite scrolling. I like apex but its a pain scrolling thru my apps. I have about one hundred and loved the folders. Is there anyone that can point to a way to get it working again.

install the ucplc5 leak, maybe?
There are other Samsung official leaks. I feel as if ShoStock would have the option included if he could get any version working on his ROM.
Ive tried pulling touchwiz30launcher.apk out of a couple roms but they didnt work either. Even changed permissions. Still nothing. Ive pretty much had shostock since i rooted months ago. Just like the features in it really. Maybe if there is another similar ics rom comparable.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA
If you really like how TouchWiz looks you can install GoLauncher and use the TouchWiz theme.
Thought about that. Last ditch effort. Ill give that a shot for a while and see how it goes. Thanks.

so anyone else hating the new swype beta? adding words to the dictionary automatically is good but find its recognition of simple words to be really poor meaning 2/3 goes sometimes for something like 'do'.
anyone else having similar issues?
i restored my backup of previous Swype but that was fc'ing and the installer i have for it only installs the new beta version.
even with these issues though it's still so much faster than any other keyboard so I'm kinda just putting up with it and hoping they update it soon to fix these issues.

Stopped working after today's CM9 nightly (Aug 8, 2012)
I installed it yesterday actually, and it was working great on my CM9 nightly version at the time. Very cool when it tells you how long it will take to get to work/home.
This morning, after updating to the latest nightly, it got replaced by the default google search box. So I tried re-installing it but I couldn't get it working on the latest version of CM9. Re-installing/uninstalling/re-installing still didn't make it work properly.
Did something in the current nightly break it, or is it something I'm missing I wonder?
Sounds like the nightly brokie it. I'm still running stock ICS.
I installed it a few hours ago. It crashes randomly. not sure of the cause, could be a bad flash. Still wondering about the auto-traffic info on the way home. Dunno how long it'll take to "learn" my routes.

running the same setup. i hear the sound but its really low. im using a jelly bean theme and it changes the little mic emblem at the end of the search bar to "google". other than that runs great. i had a nexus that was on jelly bean and google now pretty much picked up everything from there.
It was working perfectly on cm9 nightly about 7-29 and now on stable cm9 pressing search gives the normal Google search box and long pressing search goes to voice search on Google now so I can't access the main menu. Tried wiping cache, uninstalling, everything and I guess it's just broken

I'm pretty sure all you have to do is go to your app drawer and you will have an app just called Google. This will take you to your google now page with your cards. Give it a shot.
Thanks for the help, but no dice. Installing the 08-11 cm9 nightly fixed the tap search thing (makes it the Google now? version, looks similar to old search box but with similar design to Google now) but clicking the app in the drawer brings it back to that screen. Cards aren't a big deal for me but it appears different versions of cm9 have differing success.
