[Q] Swype Beta Dictionary? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys
I downloaded the new Swype Beta and they seemed to have taken out the option to manually add words to the dictionary...
Is there any way to do this? I can't seem to find anyway to do it.
Thanks,
Elliott

such a shamefull act from ur part ma8 being a senior member on XDA u should 'Lead By Example' in fallowing the rules, not bumping ur post like this.
better add some more usefull info to ur OP so that members can do the needfull
No hardfeelings though

Thanks but I don't believe I broke any rules?...
The rule states:
"16. Bumping Threads (posting simply to force a thread to the top of the thread queue)
Do not "bump" a thread more than once per 24 hours."
I bumped >24 hours on each... Give or take one time that was 2 hours off...big deal.

You could have as well bumped your own thread into 300 replies.
BTW, what version of Swype beta are you using?

You're right..but I would have given up long before then...
I guess it's Swype Beta v1.1.1.7628
Actually nevermind. I found it on the Swype forums (didn`t even know those existed)
You can still use the manual add method: just tap the word you want to add and press the Swype key. You'll see the "Add [word] to dictionary" prompt appear. Just tap that prompt, and BOOM! Word is now in your Personal Dictionary.

Not always, if it has special characters -it won't give you the option of saving the word. E.g: I removed .com from the default dictionary by accident, tried to put it back in and I can't.
Also I always use the " - " dash in text messages etc, it used to have a shortcut going from space, to the - key and back. But that's been removed.
If there's any way to edit this stuff, I'd be stoked.

Yes, but it is a bit annoying. Basically, select the word you want to add, then hit the Swype key. However, to add a word you have to have the keyboard open...
I find the best way is to email myself a list of words I want added, stuff with punctuation in it that you can't add normally etc., then open that email on your phone/tablet, and hit forward or reply so that the text you want to add is now editable and the Swype keyboard is open. Then, select the things you want to add (one at a time) and hit the Swype key on each one. It is annoying and slow, but does work.

if u just clear data and the uninstall then reinstall the dictionary starts working for some reason, at least lets u add ords

Some basic phone questions.(X10 Noob)

My battery seems to fly out the door, how do you close down some of the running applications? I don't want to download a 3rd party app just to be able to close browser or mediascape X_X
EDIT: Also, I am trying to delete some apps with Titanium backup, do yall recommend deleting Google talk, Play Now, User Guide and Use Support? And finally there is a toolbar that has 4 pictures (one with a dot and signals going up, one for blue tooth, one with a satellite dish letting off a signal and one that controls the phone, what do the 1st and 3rd ones control? I have no manual with this phone.
Edit Edit: (Lol) How do you set .mp3's for ringtone and notifications(and while we are at it custom wallpaper), and is there anyway to change the unlock process of the phone?
Really, thanks to anyone who answers even one of my 50 questions.

3rd party
On the beginning of the thread you said you didn't want a 3rd party app to close tasks. However you should use something like "advanced task killer". If you open the app you get a list of running apps and you can unselect the ones you want to remain running.
Then you get a 1 click widget that remembers that (un)selection, leaving those apps running and stopping everything else. Very useful.
BTW check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=767849
The beauty of android is the amount of nice apps available!
EDIT: Just in case you don't read that thread through:
careful with LCD Density Changer you need ROOT with Superuser and busybox or your phone will brick
So better to stay away from that one.
Ya at the beginning I didn't want to use a 3rd party app to close tasks, it didn't make sense, now I can't get enough of ATK.
I have 2 new questions for everyone.
One how can I access the internal memory from my pc? And 2 how can I change the background color in menus like settings, messages etc. The blue background is super annoying.

Quick Lookup Trick!

As Many times as I've used the LongPress features to Highlight, the Copy and Paste, I've Never Knew about the Quick Lookup feature!
So I figured I'd Share it with Whoever just kind of Overlooked it like Me, Lol...
http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?deskto...youtu.be&feature=youtu.be&v=35qMy_sQNSw&gl=US
Whoever Already Knew About this, Just Disregard this Whole thing... Lol!
Strange...if I long press on any text in the stock browser, I only get two options that popup: "copy" or "share via". Where and when are you seeing the quick lookup option? My phone is unrooted.
You need to copy a word or sentence then the option quick lookuo shld be there.
Nothing to do with being rooted.

Not sure what I'm doing differently than whats shown in the video. I tap and hold a portion of text, I get the two green selection arrows, and I'm only given the two options mentioned earlier. Nothing about quick lookup.

Yup. I'm thinking I must have uninstalled it when I was browsing through the apps list. Can someone verify if the Quick Lookup feature is uninstallable from the Manage Applications menu? Thanks in advance.

Wow, well how were you doing any copy and paste from websites, or even other txt in edit fields if you didn't know about this? Or did you just not know you could do it?
I believe this is only a feature of sense, right? So if you use a nonsense ROM you won't have it. Unless it is a feature of Swype?

SWYPE

Does anybody else's SWYPE randomly freeze up when typing? What i mean is, you will be using swype during a text for instance and it doesn't display the words you typed until you hit the back arrow to minimize the keyboard

Random? Sure. I can vaguely remember something like this happening.
I switched to Swype beta, I think it works better than the stock one... although it does act a fool in the S Note app...

Are you using the stock swype? The Collective have nice themed swype keyboards, check in their Theme thread, they all work great.
I use this swype on all ROMs, no issues or freezes, now you will have scroll down and to find the "Galaxy Note Swype", only has two type themed, I use the ICS-Stock-Swype-v6-Beta-326-GNote, on every ROM I have tried, no problems. Ensure you read the directions, what works for me, I uninstall the stock swype, reboot and then just install the apk and I am good to go.,
Plus I like the dark theme.
Yerp I stand corrected just went thru the site again...
"Welcome to Da Swypes. I have always loved Swype ever since the beta program started but always hated the look. I have been making themes for Swype from the beginning but was too afraid to share due to the SWYPE terms and conditions saying we cannot share the apk with unregistered users. Since then they have been many other people making themes and trying to do metamorphs to theme it to keep within the T&C but I got fed up and decided to just post them anyway. I have posted my themes on many sites to share my themes but have had them closed from Swype complaints. Well this came to no surprise to me so I will keep them here and just post on my twitter and Google plus pages the links. I have some other forums that have kept them up until they get heat from Swype to close the threads. So please DO NOT POST THESE LINKS ON ANY FORUMS!!!"

[REQUESTED][THEME] Swype beta themes, 'cause orange is icky! D:

Anyone wanna tackle some themes for the new Swype beta, or point me in the right direction on doing it myself? Let's face it, orange is the vomit of colors.
Danke.
P.S. Please don't suggest the stock HTC keyboard with trace. I don't like the way it works. The new Swype beta is smooth as buttah.

You, sir, are a godsend!
Just go to Swype.com, sign up for the beta, and they'll send you to a site to download the beta installer. You have to have a Swype.com account to sign into to download the beta. Kind of a ridiculous way of getting to it, but it works sooooo much better than any version of Swype I've used thus far.

Haha, if you can't get it going, it's cool. I may be able to dropbox the .apk that the installer downloads.
Upon installing the beta, you'll have two .apks. One's the installer, and the other is the actual keyboard.

Nothing too extravagant. Even just something like a simple ICS-style outlined keyboard, with matching trace.
Preferably, something purple, as the ROM I'm about to install has a purple theme. I like purple.
Maybe a red and black theme would be awesome.
I can't get this thing modded without it force closing on me :/

If you could add and/or change something to Tablets

What would it be? (SOFTWARE, WISE)
I need to collect ideas for my next project.
Feel free to suggest things big or small.
Right now I have these:
More mini-app support
Lock screen widget/shortcuts
I would love to hear any input you have, or even expand on what I have right now.
Thank you, in advance!

Cornerstone does this, its open source and can be integrated into any ICS ROM, possibly JB too.
