oh didn't see that. thanks for pointing that out

Yup, and its been a joy to use. Very smooth and quick.

i didnt like i thought the new swype beta was better

I've tried it and as far as the Flow goes, it's different. The guessing for words is good while on one continuous swipe but still prefer Swype Beta over it, plus it learns your words and patterns. Not sure if Flow does the same

Doesnt work in a lot of places (if prediction doesnt work, flow wont work). Punctuation forces you to stop your flow. I dunno..

It seems pretty good.

I tried it for a couple days went back to Swype beta...I like flow but it doesn't predict like Swype does...and simple words like PARTY won't come up for me using flow. Might go back to it after done updates

Free: Swift key X : AMazon!

Ok, what did I do. I installed SwiftKey X, it was working, then I moved it to my SD card and it was no longer working ,my Evo 3d kept defaulting to the Swipe Keyboard. So I moved Swiftkey back to the internal memory and still the same thing. I can't figure out how to get the normal or the swiftkey keyboard back.
I would uninstall then re install the app.
Nevermind figured it out. Looks like when you move SwiftKey to the memory card it disables it. So you have to re-enable it then you need to hold down the blank txt box and change the input option to Swift Key.
enjoy!!
Thank you for the heads up...my beta just ran out...

Stock keyboard is not bad it actually pretty good specially without those silly arrows from the evo 4G but the swiftkey keyboard works great, my favorite tho is droid x keyboard but i can't find one the works on our evo
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
Damn I want swiftkey no credit card where I am and cannot get to it damn
A root craving Evo 3d
WOW!!
Damn this has to be the best keyboard I have seen.......or at least the smartest.
By far one of my fav...just don't like the whole cloud thing....

I'm still torn between this and Smart keyboard pro. I just need to spend some more time with Swiftkey. They are about the same to me now.
So anyone having problems with it enabling? When I go to try to use it. It says pick a language. I choose English US but I keep getting download failed. I have wifi and data enabled.
NM. . Seems like their servers are getting hammered. Just keep trying and it will go through.

That was the greatest thing they have done!! sorta. I love this keyboard, I cant really tell too much of a difference from the last beta version, other than a PoPuP every 30 mins telling you to DL the paid version. And just when I pulled out the debit card.... BOOM! its Free!
Yaysers! thanks for posting this! I wouldve never knew!

Same here. I had been using Smart keyboard Pro since I first got the Evo 4g last year so I was pretty used to it. Been using Swiftkey all day. Just gotta get used to the space bar being smaller, and where all the symbols are.

Siine keyboard

Has anyone tried the siine keyboard...I downloaded it today and trying it out...its nie for those commonly typed phrases...takes a bit of getting used to though...let me know what you think if you try it out

I didn't like it. Once you've been using Swype for to long you can't use anything else. Damn you Swype!!!

I read the little Featured Apps article and Siine looks very promising. I might give it a try.
Is it anything like Swype? That method of typing is just...weird. It is so hard to get used to it.
No it's nothing like Swype but it's just as hard to get used to.

This is...kind of not difficult but different. Getting used to the keyboard will take awhile. It is very easy to enter short phrases and times. Creating your own is equally as easy but the ergonomics of the keyboard arent to my liking.
Maybe I'll look at it again in the future.

Really, just hop on. Swype's keyboard doesnt restrict you to just swyping so you can go back and forth with ease.
A point that might be relevant: when I tried using swype 6 months ago, I wasnt using Dolphin Browser. I mention DB b/c it has a gesture feature simliar to swype's where you can assign gestures to web addresses. I believe DB helped me get acclimated to Swype's gesture typing.
Also, you should at least read part of the tutorial after you download the app; it is actually helpful.

I use the Smart KB, in part, for the cursor keys can I do that with Swipe?

No swype, using Cm9!!

I'm really missing the original "swype" I've down loaded many apps from the market similar but nothing like the original. Any ideas, how do I get it?
Coming from GS2 running CM9
Not sure if it's compatible with ICS but try http://www.swype.com/category/get-swype/ that's what i did after installing CM7
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
Check out SwiftKey X from play... I can't link it cuz I'm nub status here.
Don't miss Swype at all. It goes on sale for 99cents once in a while
Seriously?? Did you even try?
http://beta.swype.com
Swype will run on CM9; but like romuloxiii said, just go to the swype website, sign up for the beta, and download it
I've tried downloading the beta. And I can't seem to get it to work. I've followed the steps to install but it says password and username is incorrect, and says account not active. I'm not a noob and I can't seem. To be able to get past the login. I downloaded "swiftkey x" but I thought it was like swype. I will never text regular again. I absolutely hate texting. With 2 hands. I can swype so much faster than tapping, and one handed using my thumb. I've tried all the apps and none of the are as good or have stupid things that just make no sense. Any other ideas with swype beta? I thought maybe I'm on a custom romantic that it won't work.

Swype sucks anyway. It would always punctuate and make me look like a retard when I texted. I prefer go keyboard. Their "swipe" feature works just fine for me

definitely the best keyboard I've tried. the prediction is amazing.
it rocks, but getting rid of the comma key kinda sucks IMO. i use commas all the time, and having to long press to get one really slows down my typing..
also, they took out the % of keyboard you swipe across to do gesture option, AND the miliseconds for long press! i use really short long presses so i'm super fast, so wtih the beta i type a lot slower :\
Not bad. But i still may perfer the stock keyboard over any.

Show your support for Swiftkey Themes
If you're interested, please post your support on my thread over at Swiftkey.
http://vip.swiftkey.net/index.php?/topic/3432-swifkey-beta-custom-themes-for-devs-poll/
I started using this today and it's easily the most accurate keyboard I've ever used on a any smart phone ever. With any other keyboard after typing 2-3 words I would have to look up at what a typed for a second, to make sure nothing screwed up or a mistyped, then backspace and correct it. I've been using this all day and I just blow right through sentences as fast as I can think of the letter and the placement and as long as I am in the general area of the letter it predicts it easily.
Not only that, but you can choose landscape and portrait heights of the keyboard, and they have pre-installed themes (I hope this gets expanded, but the 6-7 themes they have are decent).
And this is only a beta? I'll easily pay for the final version when it's released.

Audio, I'm not sure since I don't use it. Haptic feedback, though, just go into the settings for that keyboard and change it to the max haptic feedback. Test it to make sure it works, then scale it back down. Mine wasn't working until I did that.
EDIT: Just tried the audio feedback, too and did the same thing. Had to turn it up all the way first. It's under settings, language and keyboard, swiftkey settings, advanced, then audio and haptic feedback.

Thanks for the tip - not having haptic feedback was killing me
anyone else getting the swift key popup when using the keyboard? Not complaining, just wondering.
EDIT*
nevermind. wife is getting it too.
I just wish it would keep the keyboard up instead of hiding it again.
I got audio to work when I unplugged my headphones but still have yet to get haptic to work however it is just a beta and I've been able to get by without the feedback it just feels weird.
*EDIT* I got haptic working finally

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.

I agree on this part, but want to give it a good test drive.
I love the swift key flow, I think it is better than swype keyboard.
Sent from my SO-03D using Tapatalk 2
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
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
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.
