Has anyone tried to install the newly leaked "swype" standard keyboard on twisted's build? Does it work? Could it be included into the builds down the road?
I tried it. The one that is in the jb keyboard is better though. I still prefer typing. The swipe keyboard doesn't put spaces in so you're still stuck doing that.

Atleast it works so basically just download it, reboot into recovery, install it from the zip file, clean the cache, davlik cache and reboot the system? Hopefully twisted could build it in his build.

Clear caches first and then flash it. It does no good to do that after the fact.

Thanks for the help.
I've been using the swype beta 1.3.1 keyboard and it works pretty well. I'm thinking I'll wait to flash the 4,2 keyboard until the next build comes out so it'll be over a clean install. Does it look like the 'real time' predictive text helps? Any overall thoughts between the 2?

I got it running and I like it. few things I miss. miss the arrow keys and paste and copy functions. I like being able to get to that number pad. how do you add new words with this keyboard. it does seem to type faster and better predictions for words

The way I have done it is if you type a word that the dictionary does not recognize and it shows the red line under it if you tap on the word a dialog will come up asking you to save to dictionary and then you can swype it once you add it to the dictionary. Also if you go to System Settings > Language & Input > Personal Dictionaries > English. You can add words into your personal dictonary by hitting the + at the botton of the screen.
I have been using Touch Pal for about a day and so far I don't have any complaints about it.
Although I'm not sure if the version I've installed is a trial version. Download From Google Store.

I've been using it for a few days now and like it. No stability issues so far. My only complaint is that it doesn't have volume key navigation (cm) and it lacks the extra gesture actions that swype offers. To be honest it doesn't seem functionally different than swype in terms of accuracy of the predictive text, and it does automatically include spaces.
First swiftkey and now Google, I hope for their sake swype has some patents hidden away.

Same thing here. But, it's working 98% of the time. I have been using it as my main soft keyboard and it's been solid enough to keep going.

All you need to do is uncheck swype, press home, go back to keyboard settings and enable swype. Then it works. No need to type with another keyboard.

Slightly quicker: In text box just change input method to any other keyboard then change right back to Swype. Don't have to leave the text box.

Now be aware, unless with Swype Beta 3.0 they fixed it, that when you reboot your phone, Swype will stop working.
What you'll have to do is long press inside a text box, and switch your input mode back to the stock keyboard. Long press again, and switch it back to Swype. You'll be good to go! I guess I haven't rebooted since 3.0 installed yesterday... maybe they fixed this bug?!

But did it work just fine? I've always had to switch to the stock keyboard, then back to swype after a reboot, otherwise the actual swype motions wouldn't create words.

Yes, the new Swype 3.0 works for our phone and does not have the problems that the old one had when it would reboot that you would have to select another input type then Swype again. That was a big headache to deal with every time you wanted to enter a new message.
Yeap like picao said it worked without a hitch.

I'm using Swype 1.6 and am not having any issues with it, use it with the default mail app, and it's there after rebooting. Is this only a 3.0 "feature"?
Awesome. i'm going to reboot right now just to check!
so im on bamf 1.6.3 and the stock messaging app wont auto space between words for swype. it does on handcent but i dont like using it. has anyone found a fix for this? and i heard it was fixed on gingerbread is that true?
The beta skips spaces and I haven't had any issues with it yet. But the double space doesn't put a period.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I'm glad they fixed this with the new 3.0 beta, what a pain in the ass that was after every reboot.
I run ARHD on Desire HD. In all previous Swype versions up to now, swyping almost never worked until I manually re-initialised its listener.
The current version hasn't displayed this problem at all, which had finally made the program quite usable. The word chooser is still proving to be a bit of a problem due to silly default choices, I'm having to correct it far too often. And editing words that aren't in the dictionary is exceptionally tricky due to the way the cursor keeps jumping around in edit mode, though that may be just as much the fault of Android Gingerbread or HTC Sense, for all I know.

I had the same issue when i initially got my TB (before rooting/ROM). I found in these forums a link to the EVO swype apk that you can use on the TB to fix the auto-space issue with SMS/MMS.
I'm back to using the 3.0 beta version of swype and I'm having the same auto-space issue you describe. I like the 3.0 updates too much to go back to the old EVO version, but maybe the EVO 3.0 apk would give the same fix as the old version.
I am not rooted yet or anything but I do plan on doing that later on. I want stand the auto correct on this keyboard. Like it drives me crazy so I switched to ics keyboard from play store and it's amazing as it should be. Here is the issue when I misspell something they don't show the little red line so I know. And for my line of work that's important. thank u in advanced

Beansoft just put a JellyBean keyboard version up on Google Play. The predictive text is supposedly much more improved compared to ICS keyboard.
Download it and follow the setup instructions.

I downloaded and installed swype beta from the swype website and I'm pretty impressed. I'm sticking with Swype Beta for now till they come up with something better.
I think keyboard wise, SwiftKey has got to be the best. It tailors to you. My wife runs Swype beta on her phone and it mispells every other word while SwiftKey hasn't let me down.

I installed the stock ICS keyboard here http://www.technostall.com/how-to-install-stock-android-4-0-keyboard-on-samsung-galaxy-s3/
It shows a blue line if the word is misspelled or it can't find the word in the dictionary, in the field the word with the three dots underneath is the correct spelling of the word it thinks you're trying to spell. You can either tap that to correct spelling or if auto correct is enabled when you hit space it will auto correct it to that word. If the word is so misspelled that there is no suggestions then it assumes the word you're spelling is either a pronoun or txt lingo. But I do agree there should be some option is have a line underneath any word that's misspelled or otherwise not recognized so you can review before sending the message.
Is that simple download and enjoy http://bit.ly/skflowbeta
This beta is open so I'm pretty sure this link should be fine if there are any complaints please let me know

I've been using it for a couple hours now and, so far, the gesture/swiping (or whatever you want to call it) recognition is decent but not as reliable/accurate as Swype or even the 4.2 keyboard. Swift key has been my favorite keyboard for a while now so I'm definitely looking forward to this coming along.

its awsome, i love the new space swipe thing. Only thing i miss is the left swipe to delete the last word you typed.
It's not bad. Sometimes it's pretty laggy visually, other times it's fine.

in my experience today i have found it to be exteremly responsive and FAR more accurate then the sense keyboard or 4.2 for that matter. I ditched swype a while ago but I'm in love with this thing. Is everyone set up for precise or rapid? rapid has yeilded better responses when gesture typing for me
Liking it mostly. I just don't like that I can't click on a word and have it bring up other words you might have wanted, ala what swype does. I find myself having to change quite a few words.
Anyone get the flow without a space for a sentence to work? I tried it on a pretty basic sentence and it just double vibrated at me and did nothing.
Kind of a lag on a tablet but I like the effects going to try this on my nex4

Really bugs me that in a "name" field or box, it won't let me swype. Have to enter each letter individually. Haven't found the setting to change that yet...
So far I'm really liking it! Honestly I never really liked the "swipe" style typing but I've been using it on the stock HTC keyboard and now I'm hooked! I have been a huge fan of swift key and have the pro version paid for four a long while now.. Their predictive text is just great and adding the swipe text "flow" is really cool.

May be it's the amount of time I've spent on Swype, I didn't find flow as accurate and fast as Swype
I've been using swype for a couple years and this seems to get what I'm trying to type better and definitely seems smoother, I do miss a few things from swype though like the swype button to a, x , c, and v for select all and copy paste. Is there a different way of doing this or just not available?

Its still in beta and there is a feedback link within the settings of the app im sure they are open to suggestions!
and im definitely and advocate for swype but i find the individual key entry which is so necessary to be far to clunky and innacurate where as this finds a happy medium that im very satisfied with. also folks remember this is beta so they will be releasing a polished version sooner or later. if you have complaints voice them from within the apps feedback section
I find the prediction on Flow to be worse than Swype, but it would be servicable if not for not showing multiple predictions when typing on a word. If you make a mistake it takes a while to correct it, but that's to be expected with a beta. It has potential working off of SwiftKey 3's great prediction software.
I literally hate the new keyboard that got installed with the new update. I also prefer good old fashioned typing to using Swype.
Anybody got a way to go back to the ICS keyboard?

Good call, I didn't even think of that. I'll kick around and see if I can find something a bit closer to what the stock keyboard was. After 6 months, I just can't go to the new one. My fingers aren't smart enough.
In the meantime, here's to hoping someone can point me at the actual stock keyboard from ICS!
EDIT:
I actually like this one better than the original ICS keyboard that was shipped w/ this phone: Link
Just wish it had built in emoticons. I use them like a 12yr old girl when sending SMS.
Find the 4.2 keyboard apk. It's amazing.
Edit: let me see if I have it.

I'll check it out.
In the end, I just really liked the stock ICS keyboard that came on the LTE.
I can live with the new keyboard but I just need to know how to hide it. The ICS keyboard had a hide button in the bottom left corner, the new one doesn't have one at all that I can find. Sometimes pressing the back arrow next to the home button on the bottom of the phone will make the keyboard go away after typing so I can see and press a send button but sometimes that will take me back to the previous screen and I'll lose everything I just typed.
What's wrong with it? It works great for me. They even let you remove the arrows at the bottom so that they aren't in the way like in ics... And if you wanna close it, hit back. Its rather simple really... And the swipe feature works great.
