Hello,

Has anyone figured out how to get Swype to work on the Samsung Series 7 Slate running Windows 8? I've tried everything I can think of to make it work and still can't get it to.

All it does is let you swype one word and then freezes up. Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks, Nexttonomy

I was looking for this myself and believe this might have worked for 3rd party manufacturers

http://orcaservice.samsungmobile.com/ITEM/Software/BASW-13533A/BASW-13533A19.ZIP

I have continued looking and believe I have seen a newer version link that is working however this install does not complete and states that it was meant for a different manufacturer - i.e. for me Iconia w500

The new version is located http://orcaservice.samsungmobile.com/ITEM/Software/BASW-13533A/BASW-13533A23.ZIP

(install option "JUST ME" needs to be used to progress further in installation)

but fails to install fully giving me (error - can any one make this compatible with non samsung windows tablets) or has someone have the older compatible version?

Swype for Windows (tabletpc, not phone)

I have the same tablet, Acer W500 and like the Swype for Windows too!.

When the dialog box appear, you can copy the files before the installer delete them.

1. The application is in \Program files\Swype\

2. The application data is in \ProgramData\Swype\

I try copy the files, let the installer delete them and copy at hand again to the same locations.

In \ProgramData\Swype, you found an executable (I don't remember the name) who uninstall itself and fill the folder with some new files.

When you run the "Swype.exe" file from \Program Files\Swype\, the application close with error.

For the record, I have Windows 8.

I believe is missing some registration part, or in the post-install process before the dialog box... or maybe is the resolution (remember, our tablet have only 1280x800).

Do you try to edit the installer with Orca?. I try but not find the error dialog part for delete only this...

Best regards and please excuse my english!,

Swype working (well... not very good, but...)

Good news!.

Or not, the problem in the Acer W500 is the same of nexttonomy, Swype freeze after the first finger use (with the mouse work fine, but who like use Swype with the mouse?).

For get the swype keyboard working in a Acer W500 tablet you can follow this simple directions. Not work good, I think because Windows 8, but if anyone have Win7 can check...

1. Run the installer and when the error dialog appear, not accept anything.

2. Copy the files from \Program files\Swype\ to a safe place (for example c:\swype)

3. Copy the files from \ProgramData\Swype\ to the same place (in this example, c:\swype)

4. Accept the error dialog, you don't need to save anymore.

5. Go to c:\swype and run the file "ExtractResource.exe"

I'm not sure if this is really needed, check yourself:

6. Rename the files begining with "display0_" to the same name without this keyword (for example display0_SwypeIconLock.png to SwypeIconLock.png). If you have Python installed, this script do the work for you:

import os; shutil
for f in os.listdir('.'):
if f.startswith('display0_'):
shutil.copy(f, f.replace('display0_', ''))

7. Run the Swype.exe file!.

If I click over a key with the mouse, work, but If I do that with the finger, not (maybe is because the Win8 finger support).

When I get some time like to check run in administrator mode, or Win7 compatibility, and play with the settings.

If anyone find how to run better, please share the info!.

Please not ask for the files, because I think is illegal, if the instructions are not clear, please tell me and I try to explain better.

Best regards!,

Sebastian
[Windows 8 General] bothered:
thanks for your information I have been away and only just read your messages that you posted - I think unfortunately at the moment it is not good enough for a usable keyboard - but at least some progression was made

:)
[Windows 8 General] slezica:
Thanks you, your original post made me investigate :)

Yes, in Windows 8 not work at all like what say nexttonomy, almost now in the W500 work like the original Samsung Slate!.

I believe if you have Windows 7 in the Acer W500, work fine!.

Maybe is the new "finger mode" (not know the right name) in Windows 8, in Windows 7 your finger movements and clicks work exactly like the mouse, but in Win 8 draw the movements and show a big circle when you click...

The Win8 on-screen keyboards are much better than the Win7 keyboards, but the Swype in my phone is really fast, we will have to wait for a new version!!! :)

Best regards,

Sebastian
[Windows 8 General] Etrit:
has anyone gotten this working fully?

I`d love to have Swype on my tablet!

I was using Touchpal but I had to uninstall it [it breaks and you have to reinstall ] but I don't have the set-up file anymore and the touchpal site is gone . :[

I just started using the Windows 8 onscreen keyboard from the Accessibilty options and it has word completion as well as prediction but isn't a swipe interface. The space bar is also buggy and doesn't always work .

You can make the keyboard start on startup. I pinned the icon to my taskbar for easy access . You can show and minimize it by clicking on the icon.

It also sadly doesn't resize open windows so it gets in the way of stuff .

It is a lot better then the main Windows 8 keyboard

oh, you can easily resize it! :]
[Windows 8 General] 5318008:
Sorry for the ancient necro, but I think this is the only relevant thread around here. I'm trying to get this running on an Acer R7-572 with Windows 8.1. Sadly, the earlier A19 revision with broader compatibility doesn't seem to exist online anywhere anymore, so I'm trying the file-copying trick with the A23 revision. I can save the files fine, but Swype.exe doesn't do anything when I try to run it. The computer thinks for a second then nothing happens. ExtractResource.exe doesn't do anything either. I've tried different compatibility modes for the installer and for Swype.exe but nothing works. I'd really like Swype on my Acer. I've tried TouchPal before but I don't like it, it was never working right.
[HTC Sensation] Gadge64:
Hello all.

I got a HTC Sensation yesterday cheap from my cousin's classmate, because he screwed it up and can't get it working. I have a bit of experience flashing different phones so I thought I might get it working. Unfortunately I haven't found a solution to the problem after hours of searching, hopefully one of the community has the kindness and know-how to help me out!

Basically as soon as I plug it in, the screen in the 1st pic appears:

I've tried several PG58IMG files but all of them result in a screen similar to the 2nd image:

Any ideas on how to fix? Any help is much appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] kualmente:
Seems a partitioning issue.

Did you try to run an RUU? maybe it can help. Not 100% sure though
[HTC Sensation] Gadge64:
Thanks for the suggestion.

Would the RUU be installed as a zip similar to PG58IMG?
[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
No, it's an executable file you run on your pc. You can connect to your pc with phone in fastboot mode and run ruu as administrator.
[HTC Sensation] Gadge64:
Thanks, I'll try that out now.
[HTC Sensation] Gadge64:
Unfortunately still no luck.

The RUU installer gives the [171] error, and I've tried every suggested solution with no success.

Any other tips? Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
Do you have and tools? If so, do this open command window where your and tools are by holding mouse over the folder, now press alt, space bar, and right click, choose open command window here. Now type the command "fastboot getvar cid" while phone is connected to pc in fastboot mode. What does it say?

You have to have the correct ruu for your cid.

Can you access recovery?
[HTC Sensation] Gadge64:
Thanks again for your assistance.

I've just finished installing the android tools, and ran the command as you specified. My CID is 11111111.

When I select recovery from the fastboot menu, nothing happens, it just blinks for a second and goes back to fastboot.
[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
Okay, good your super cid so any ruu should work, now that you have the adb tools you also have the fastboot drivers. Try running the ruu again. Before running the ruu, remove the battery and sd card and insert the card into a card reader on your pc and look for a file PG58IMG and delete it. Then safely remove the card, put it back into your phone and replace the battery, put phone into fastboot mode, plug it into your pc and try to run the ruu as administrator again.

You're welcome for the help. If this doesn't work we will try a few other things. The phone isn't bricked so we should be able to get it working.
[HTC Sensation] craven667:
Find my post in general will post link in a few
[HTC Sensation] Gadge64:
Thanks again. I got the same result as before when running RUU.
[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
Okay, have you checked your sd card? There's a method of extracting the ROM zip from the RUU, rename it PG58IMG place it in your sd card and flash it through h boot.

I don't see how your thread is helpful, he is s off and not bootlooped. Why not offer help in this thread where he is asking for help? Please share your ideas here.

Your thread doesn't really pertain to his situation.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
The OP is NOT looping but stuck in FASTBOOT- 2 completely different things...

I've had it happen to me before but that was over a year ago and it just sorted itself out so unfortunately I can't offer anything but I'll have a think and if I remember what I did I'll let you know
[HTC Sensation] Gadge64:
I did that, and I got the Partition Update Fail (Fail-PU) similar to the 2nd pic in the OP. I tried with a different SD card but with the same result.

Dang phone!
[HTC Sensation] Gadge64:
The fact that you had the same issue and you fixed it, is good to hear!
[HTC Sensation] Mr Troop:
@Gadge64

I think that your stuck in Fastboot because of a bad recovery image,you could try and flash new recovery image
[HTC Sensation] Gadge64:
I've tried to flash a new recovery a few times using the command line, but I always get the error FAILED <remote: not allowed>

I have no problem with getting it back as I just reflash the rom however I cannot get the benefits of thunderbolt which I really want. I also noticed then when I created a nandroid backup in cwm it did not make my notification bar come back. Im wondering if it is something to do with the toggles add on?

Anyone have a source for a Shoulder Holster type carry/case for the Note? Looking for slim low profile.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] da_ferreira:
Can't post a link, but go to eHolster dot com - they have the eVolve holster which might work for the Note. It is also a little large. They used to have an actual holster with various sized pouches you could attach. I owned one of those once upon a time - you could carry a device on either side.

Black Leather Shoulder Holster 7" Tablet PC

I've been looking for something to make it easier to carry my Nexus 7 Tablet PC until someone designs a custom made Shoulder Holster for it!

Here's a video of it on YouTube (note it's a Secret Agent spoof, but gets the idea across) :D

watch?v=jk0cZpFI9rI

Can't post a link so it's on youtube dot com

It's incredibly comfortable and you can wear it anywhere, jogging, sitting, driving, etc. What I really like about it, is that it enables me to go hands free for voice chat and voice calls over Google Voice using app of choice. I love the freedom of having nothing in my pockets or hanging from my belt.

There is one slight complication and that's the fact that out in public you many different reactions. Some people fear you're either a cop or a bad guy until you let them see it's not gun. Cops check you out thoroughly too. But I've also talked to one who loved it and want to get one of his own. Unfortunately he was a rather big guy and I let him try it on. Wouldn't fit.

So keep that in mind if you go to order one. It's made for guy of average size. I'd say no more than 190 lbs and slim not too tall either. Hopefully the more people that see these, start using them and demand custom made Shoulder Holsters for 7" tablets! :p

---------- Post added at 10:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 PM ----------

That's what I thought too. Check out the one I bought. I think it beats it hands down. But a custom made one would be better! :D

it's on youtube dot com watch?v=jk0cZpFI9rI

There's a link to the Amazon seller who I bought it from. Not perfect but defo better than that big honking shoulder case and not lady like looking at all. Cops will attest to that. I've gotta show him I'm not packing a weapon! lol....
