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
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.

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!
I have problems writing text messages on my Legend (lots of mistypes). Of course main reason is small screen. Does anyone have suggestion which keyboard app is best for HTC legend?
Thanks in advance.
Swype. It's like autocorrect in a keyboard. Although I think it's only a closed-beta at the moment, so apply on their website!
Next up, I like HTC_IME for its customization and well-developed dictionary. You could type the worst misspelling ever and it will find it and correct it. It's somewhere around XDA.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868131
And then lastly, I like the stock Gingerbread keyboard found in CM7, or another 2.3 ROM. If you don't have it, (like Sense too much?), download a similar one from the Market, such as Perfect Keyboard Free or Gingerbread Keyboard.
Thanks for reply. I have been using Smart Keyboard, but I will try Swype.
I'll stick with SwiftKey X, because of the Good dictionary, prediction and learning sentences you type. Sometimes I get a whole bunch of words out by pressing space only!

I bought SwiftkeyX Keyboard.The Swipe input is not for me.
My vote goes for SliteIT keyboard.

I tried all the keyboard XD SlideIT is for me the best on HTC Legend, it's a Swype-like, but it's even better ! (smoother, better text prediction etc... )
I just installed TouchPal. Works for me. It is free!

I decreased the hight of the keys to see some more of the screen while typing. IF you used swiftkey for a while the autocorrection saves an huge amount of time.
Additional swiftkey has a funktion to detect where you hit the screen when you want to type a letter. This can increase your typing-speed too. See here w*w.swiftkey.net/swiftkey-x-update-brings-blog-learning-heatmaps-and-more
I use SlideIT keyboard on my Legend, got it when Google had the 0.10 cent apps. Great keyboard.
What do you guys think? I really really enjoy swype like 4.2 and I do think its faster typing but I think swiftkey is more accurate making it faster.... Thoughts?

SwiftKey keyboard FTW
SwiftKey.... and now that it's bringing flow... it's going to faster and accurate than swype
HTC EVO LTE
No competition. Swiftkey hands down.
Best features of Swiftkey for me are the swipe-back to delete a word (seriously, so amazing) and the predictions it has. It reads my mind like no other keyboard can.
And with Flow coming, all other keyboards will be useless in comparison.

Throw up another vote for Swiftkey. Although I do recommend you try out the upcoming 4.2 Android keyboard because it implements swype-like functionality. Swiftkey will also bring this with their "Swiftkey Flow" update that should be in beta soon.
swift key hands down i use in on all my droid devices tablet and phone, it makes life easy especially with the predictive text
I like Android 4.2.
Swiftkey 3 never seems to learn my style so to me it's just another keyboard. But other than the learning part that should be happening..when compared to other keyboards I use, it isn't that great. Can't even use it in the browser.
So Android 4.2 wins my book just because it's reliable. Once it added the feature where it'll autocorrect that space...that's when I walked right away from Swiftkey 3 because that was the ONLY thing keeping me there.
SwiftKey is the best keyboard forever.
I can type some messages without even looking at the screen. The auto correct is so good, the messages will come out correct.
I tried the latest Android keyboard and while it was nice, it was too buggy for me so I deleted it after a couple hours of dealing with FC's, the latest Swype is their best version, but imo neither come close to Swift Key 3
I'm currently typing this using the 4.2 keyboard and unfortunately I miss using swiftkey so badly that right after this, I'll revert. I mean, they did a good job but swiftkey owns it.

I love Swiftkey ever since I adopted it a few months ago. The stock keyboard was nice, I haven't used 4.2 yet, but the whole customizable-by-social-network dictionary on Swiftkey is phenomenal. That's basically the only reason I use it for since I actively use twitter on a daily basis. Also don't forget the fact that Swiftkey can scan all your SMS messages (which means all my 15+ conversations with over 14,000 texts) and use special-case words such as the last names of friends in your dictionary. That's basically why I use Swiftkey and I don't think I'll ever go back. Plus, I never liked the whole Swype-like keyboards so I probably won't like the 4.2 keyboard at all.
I never use swype type keyboards, but the swype in the new 4.2 KB is pretty nice. I only use that feature about 10% of the time.
Also, the word prediction is pretty amazing.
I just sent a text that said 'just wanted to say Dillon really misses you' and I only had to type 4 letters of it. It predicted the rest. Crazy. Scary.
hurled from my AOKP'd Evo LTE. Enjoy.
Use both. End of the day when both hands are available I prefer swift (its predictive engine is great) but sometimes if you're carrying something and only one hand is available swyping whether it be android 4.2,slideit, swype etc are easier.
Swyping is easier when driving which we shouldn't be doing anyways lol.

U guys see the pc option in 4.2? Buttons are a little small, but I've always wanted it. Great for writing documents...
To get it go to keyboards, android keyboard, add style, English us, PC. Then go down to Swype and select it.

What typing style does everyone use within Swiftkey?
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

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 @??
