Thanks for you help Pneuma1985, I had the correct .png for the background image, I just forgot to replace it in my SystemUI.apk. Also thanks for that image, a little more refined then the simple black and blue diagonal I had before.

I'm glad you guys like what you see, I haven't had any time this past week to make more progress, but I'm hoping to get some done tonight and this weekend. Thanks for the support, I was a little nervous posting this since I haven't done anything before but I feel a little better now.

Anyone have any ideas how to change the font color of ongoing notifications from black to white?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linsalata28:
There are a few very good guides on how to invert the drop down. If I find the link I'll post it for you. The theme looks cool so far, I kind of miss my Evo and making themes for it. It was so much easier then on my Evo 3D. Oh I have an ics theme for sense 1.0 around here if you want feel free to take any png's from it and if you have any questions you can pm me and I'll help you out if I know what your trying to do.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pneuma1985:
Yeah man no prob anything you need for ics just ask I got everything!!!

Oh and figured I'd post this for you... This came in real handy for me... You need photoshop for it but it is awesome and will come in real handy with a ics theme...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caseyryback21:
Thanks, I'll be in touch then. Is Photoshop a must? Will Gimp work? There's just no way I can afford Photoshop for a hobby. Thanks again.

EDIT: Well on first attempt the layers are not visible in Gimp for Windows, however I have a legacy version of Fireworks that seems to be able to work with those stencils. I guess I'm in luck, because this version of Fireworks is really old, Macromedia Fireworks 3... not CS3, just 3 - Circa 2000. I knew there was a reason I have that still.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pneuma1985:
Well I can not post you a link here but if you contact me I may be able to help you with photoshop...

Hey there SwiftKey fans,

Better, more consistent punctuation key behavior

Smarter Smart Space functionality (which will make it easier to enter email addresses etc)

A refined experience in Google Chrome Beta

Fixed missing predictions on the longpress of @ and .com

Improved gestures

Eliminated lag on letter pop-ups

Various other minor bug fixes and usability improvements

You can download the new Beta for your phone here: http://vip.swiftkey.net/sk3beta , or for your tablet here: http://vip.swiftkey.net/sk3tabletbeta
[Android Apps and Games] okmijnlp:
Thanks for this, looks nice, I'm using it to type this message, soo much better than the crappy old version!
[Android Apps and Games] danlivesey:
Thanks downloading now....

Edit.. Awesome keyboard loving it already.
[Android Apps and Games] Alex_32571:
Is there a tablet version too? It says it isn't optimized for tablets but its still very usable.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] techenthusiast:
Downloaded onto my HTC Sensation and works a treat
[Android Apps and Games] rafa6571:
Yes! but swiftkey servers are down... I'm trying to access. I'll update the tablet version as soon as i can.
[Android Apps and Games] cgvelmax:
Thanks I'm waiting for hours because swift key site its Down.
[Android Apps and Games] Tone_Capone:
No gestures?

Thanks for the share!

What does everyone think about the beta? I love the new themes and bigger space bar, but having no gestures and all punctuation on the same button having me scratch my head. I loved the swipe to delete a whole word feature!
[Android Apps and Games] godiZFICTION:
Thanks for the link. Have been trying to grab this since I read about it earlier, with no luck from the SK site.
[Android Apps and Games] shorty1483:
Totally genius app!!!love it like he'll!
[Android Apps and Games] jordanishere:
Thanks for the downloads. using it right now to type out this post. The layout on the keyboard is great but the app seems to lag a bit.

Sent from my SGH-T989
[Android Apps and Games] Wrath0Lucifer:
Thanx, been waiting to try this.
[Android Apps and Games] J0ESK0:
Does anyone know if there's a way to stop the "Select Input Notification" to constantly pop up while using this? I've looked thru the SwiftKey settings to no avail. It's super annoying and distracting.
[Android Apps and Games] d0nald01:
Anyway to change the period to a question mark? They had a question mark there before. Now it takes so long to add commas and question marks
[Android Apps and Games] rotarydial:
I really hope they put back in the long-press duration setting. I find this one of the most appealing parts of SwiftKey.
[Android Apps and Games] asb123:
Will they update SwiftKey X to SwiftKey 3 or do we need to buy another keyboard?
[Android Apps and Games] mainsail:
I dont known but you can have two kbs installed and choose one of them. In my list of kbs appears "Swiftkey X" and Swiftkey 3 Beta".

Frank :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] asb123:
Yea, I hope I don't need to buy another keyboard for what should be enough to justify as just an update.

As as for the lag, that seems to have gotten a lot better after switching themes from cobalt to holo. Still is kind of laggy though.
[Android Apps and Games] mainsail:
There are two points that i dont like at all about last beta. The short size of letters/simbols amb my clear theme (like ics) that does not appear in theme list.

Enviado gracias a la magia del hombre blanco
[Android Apps and Games] asb123:
Also, when you long press the period to access the punctuation, the first option after pressing should be a comma. Why should anyone long press the period only to select period.
[Android Apps and Games] Towle:
My numbers are a little bigger I think.. But the smiley isn't pixelated. Maybe try reducing the portrait height in the settings?
[Android Apps and Games] rsngfrce:
My SwiftKey trial expired, then I found the beta, liking it much better, looking forward to release.
[Android Apps and Games] yomiguy:
I have this option selected as I had it before with the previous beta but the result is the same, I can't see the long press numbers and symbols... I'll try to uninstall and reinstall the beta again because it seems there are people who don't find this issue... :-(

[Android Apps and Games] yomiguy:
Hey I've just uninstalled and reinstalled the ap and my long press numbers and symbols are back! :) yeah! Thx people of sk! Best keyboard ever!

[Android Apps and Games] jmagnu:
When I thought SwiftKey was perfect, it just keeps getting better! Thank you so much for your hard work and development. I will always purchase your software!
[Android Apps and Games] itsy:
Could you maybe change the background color of the keys to a brighter one?

When you're long-pressing a key, the hover effect for alternate symbols is not very visible when you're not in a dark room.

And please make smileys customizable :)
[Android Apps and Games] luculuc:
I love the swiftkey beta more and more. But you guys have to implement a swipe option, especially when searching in the play store, writing addresses in the browser... In these, there's no predictions at all, making it way slower than swype... That'd be so awesome to have this perfect mix. Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] GerBBAR14_c:
I want to be able to disable the smiley button and use it as enter.

There's no need for me to add any smileys to my messages but I always use enter to change rows.
[Android Apps and Games] schrochem:
And you don't have to long press first. Just touch the period and swipe right. Swipe left for exclamation. No need for accuracy. You can go way past and it'll get it.
[Android Apps and Games] ricc@rd:
+1
[Android Apps and Games] Hzu:
I second this.

The newest version is more responsive than before. But I still want the option to disable gestures (such as swipe to delete word) as it don't work well with phone with no proper dual touch like mine (Xperia X10).
[Android Apps and Games] 1981ts:
just downloaded the beta version and using it now for the first time. been using touchpal keyboard for some time now.

this one is pretty good. so far. but missing the phone keypad layout. this just has the qwerty layout. rite??

also, couldnt find the gesture options in here as mentioned in some post in this thread. am i missing some option somewhere in the settings?

thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] almela72:
More memory consumption

30 Mb! It's a fantastic keyboard, but my Huawei U8650... can't work. Thanks!!
[Android Apps and Games] starkilling:
I want to disable the swipe thing too. I always delete words by mistake. Just give us a little option, it'd be great not to have to retype words.

I also agree on the silly smiley face. Enter/return is just fine.
[Android Apps and Games] bgs_piece:
Previous beta 3 version?

Does anyone happen to have the previous version of beta 3? The one right before the newest one is what I'm looking for. I updated mine and the nwest is worse so I really would like to go back to the one I had.

[Android Apps and Games] lilhyper:
Is anyone having issues with this on Gmail app? Period an Comma no longer completes the word. It still completes the word in message and other text apps, just not in Gmail. Spacebar completes the word as usual.
[Android Apps and Games] R832X5:
The smart spacing in this update seems to be a big step down. With the previous beta, I could write entire sentences without ever needing to hit the space bar, because it would automatically insert the ‘space-corrected’ words and then just keep going. This version doesn’t appear to do that, so it can only handle up to about 7-ish words at a time... Other than that, however, the new update is a nice improvement over the last.
[Android Apps and Games] jlv3:
I thought the forum rules prohibited that?
[Android Apps and Games] HosainH:
Such an amazing keyboard, google should just buy this company and integrate their work into the android OS.
[Android Apps and Games] starkilling:
If Google owned SwiftKey, I wouldn't use it because of privacy concerns.

[Android Apps and Games] firephoenixctk:
I'm giving this a try over swype.. So far i have faster typing time over swype as this seems to recognise the word I want.
[Android Apps and Games] Northantrim:
Fantastic! I love the lighter vibrations, the 'light' theme is a lot nicer and there are now more useful characters shown above the normal alphabet characters.
[Android Apps and Games] starkilling:
My native language (romanian) sometimes requires me to type things with a dash in the middle, like "nu-i", for example. This is like the English don't for do not. I'd like to get that in the suggestions after I've typed it so it will show up later when I want it to. Right now it doesn't recognize words with a dash in them.
[Android Apps and Games] luculuc:
Well here we are! Swype has introduced a predictive function! It's not as good as swiftkey's one yet but still that makes Swype faster in many ways (especially when searching on playstore, or typing web addresses). Beware swiftkey! ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] brar.arsh:
Its out of beta and available in play store..

I would like a way to customize the keyboard to remove the icon in the bottom left corner of the screen where the icon and such.
[Android Apps and Games] nikzDHD:
Just keeps getting better and better love this keyboard can type extremely fast on it and the prediction is top notch definitely one of my best purchases and this new version is cool.
[Android Apps and Games] EP2008:
Agreed. I don't know why they remove features when new ones are added...
[Android Apps and Games] rafa6571:
For everyone wondering, Android Police have confirmed with SwiftKey that SK 3 will be a free update to all existing users.

Unless you disable your stock keyboard it will always be there.

[Android Apps and Games] Destroyer90:

[Android Apps and Games] wouwout:
Love SwiftKey but the .,?! situation is silly.
[Android Apps and Games] abezapata:
Hey all. Long time swiftkey X user. How do I install this? I keep getting installation aborted in clockwork recovery. Sorry for the noobish question.
[Android Apps and Games] Braneless:
It's an apk - just click on the file using a file manager and install the package.

Two observations: the prediction engine is Much more effective.

Operation is more fluid and the new layout and theme is hugely improved.
[Android Apps and Games] kizsleg:
Its just normal install. the one that needs to install in recovery are .zip files.

anyway, very good keyboard here. love the holo theme.
[Android Apps and Games] scottmog:
Very nice, trying to type without spaces at all haha!
[Android Apps and Games] xriderx66:
I would like it if the SWIFTKEY button on the keyboard was moved to if i pressed the numbers, i usually expect the numbers/punct. button to be the far left, and get confused.
[Android Apps and Games] abezapata:
Ahh I was using Chrome beta for Android and it was downloading the apk as a zip file. :banghead: Thanks for letting me know it should have been downloaded as an apk. :)
[Android Apps and Games] kcls:
It looks and works great on my nook color.
[Android Apps and Games] The_MutenRoshi:
Cant change the time for pressed buttons! for example, if i want to press a number, 123456 and so on, it takes a while, when in the previously versions had an option to change the time in the advance seccion of options.

Now there is no more that advance option, it takes many many time to press a number or a / for example...
[Android Apps and Games] burt_ie:
I am a long time user of Swiftkey and use it on my phone and tablet, have been waiting for this update for quite some time.

First impressions it seems awesome and predictions seem even better than before. The new theme's look awesome on my phone but they look a bit crappy on my tablet... needs a lot more tweaking.

Hope they keep up the excellent work :-)
[Android Apps and Games] kizsleg:
maybe they saved the advance option for the paid one. :-)
[Android Apps and Games] RamAir02:
Loving this on my tablet. Might replace Thumb Keyboard. The prediction is just amazing. The keys are a little tough to reach for in landscape. IMO, Thumb Keyboard is spaced better.
[Android Apps and Games] chalan30:
swipe to delete IS there...
[Android Apps and Games] DarkenCypher:
But the swipe down to close the keyboard isn't :( otherwise it is pretty good.
[Android Apps and Games] Maerki:
Is there a way to deactivate the word suggestion?
[Android Apps and Games] karx23:
Love the new themes! Also it feels faster.
[Android Apps and Games] ashzoomerintrack:
I am loving this keyboard already. I am having fat fingers and now the key spacing is really awesome which is making typing a bliss :)
[Android Apps and Games] schrochem:
I keep switching keyboards but the main thing is getting the words typed that you want.....

Well I just haul ass on this thing and let it fix it. As sloppy as it gets hit I am completely blown away at how it corrects it.

The two main things I need to adjust to are using the period instead of double tapping the space and the caps key.

There is a really cool feature on Ultra keyboard that makes certain keys (like the caps key) invisible while typing fast. You can set the length of time as well.

That way, going for the a, you don't accidently hit the Caps.

It would be cool if that was a feature. I love the holo theme.
[Android Apps and Games] mainsail:
Is there any way to increase the size of letters in new beta? I like size of my swiftkey 2 like screenshot attached. Thanks.

Enviado gracias a la magia del hombre blanco
[Android Apps and Games] kcls:
Lol, and you might as well not use SwiftKey. The whole point of the keyboard is to have the best prediction engine.
[Android Apps and Games] xriderx66:
does the app auto update during the BETA stage? If it stays at what it is right now, consider me a buyer of this app! I hated the old one.
[Android Apps and Games] xCovErtWolFx757:
If we bought SwiftKey x do we have to buy SwiftKey 3 too?
[Android Apps and Games] DSC05:
I read yesterday somewhere, that we don't have to buy it again.
[Android Apps and Games] rafa6571:
Swiftkey says that this is gonna be a free update to all the people who bought previous version
[Android Apps and Games] Oops...:
swipe down to close DOES exist

That's not correct - it does exists, but you have to start the swipe at the "prediction area" (i.e. from a proposed word). Then it works :)
[Android Apps and Games] Chrisloy:
Any bros able to upload the Swiftkey 3 Beta (Tablet) again?

Thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] Oops...:
Directly from their Beta Download site. I hope it's ok to re-post here...
[Android Apps and Games] thelowend:
This keyboard is awesome! My only gripe is the way punctuation works. I'd like to be able to hold down the comma question mark button with my right thumb and choose one I want with my left. Other than that this is a sloppy yet fast typists dream!
[Android Apps and Games] thelowend:
It works everywhere but here. You have to be extra accurate. Also, I've found that when certain words are grouped together, nothing will be produced.

And while I'm on a roll, the suggestions bar will sometimes disappear.
[Android Apps and Games] darkamikaze:
It's a great keyboard but I already miss gesture cut/paste/highlight all from swype :-(, think that will be implemented?

-dark
[Android Apps and Games] thelowend:
Dude I know why you mean. I coming from swype to and cut/pasting is a pain.
[Android Apps and Games] DarkenCypher:
After much experimentation I figured this out :D
[Android Apps and Games] Braneless:
Swipe to delete works just fine for my NS4G. I start at the "L" and swipe to the "f" key.

Hopefully the full version will allow us to adjust the sensitivity, like the current stable version does.
[Android Apps and Games] NicholasQ:
I've been using this keyboard for a few days now and I don't see any difference at all from skiftkey x. And if anything, this keyboard seems more buggy. Am I missing something here?
[Android Apps and Games] Towle:
The only reason I downloaded this over SwiftKey x is for the extra themes. That's the only reason I started using swype again. SwiftKey needs more themes :)
[Android Apps and Games] EP2008:
I had to go back to using swiftkey x because the "smart space " feature is slowing me down too much. I would expect that spelling words incorrectly would produce a correction, but instead I get all these broken-up words. So frustrating!
[Android Apps and Games] mik4el:
In SwiftKey X under Advanced setting there is a option to adjust the response time to select (write) an alternative character. I have this setting set to 200ms and this suits me perfect.

I can't find this setting in SwiftKey 3 Beta and it is a bit annoying when I have to wait just that little bit longer than I'm used to. Has anyone else found this setting or is it just left out?

[Android Apps and Games] gsrinivas:
Looks cool!
[Android Apps and Games] lollazzo:
I hate long spacebar
[Android Apps and Games] mikeyeung5:
I hate space bar too

Swiftkey 3 is much better than other keyboard apps
[Android Apps and Games] NicholasQ:
Yea i don't see why this is even called SwiftKey 3. It's not really different.
[Android Apps and Games] Towle:
How can you say that? Do you know how to code and know what all the internals are like? Just because they look the same, doesn't mean it's even close. I have my GSII themed to look identical to a galaxy nexus. So with your mentality, why get a nexus when it's no different than my s2?
[Android Apps and Games] NicholasQ:
Did I mention just looks? No. I said it really isn't much different from what I can tell. And from that I mean it looks the same and if anything it's buggier in performance. They may have revamped the code but I certainly don't feel it making any difference. You should try not assuming so much.
[Android Apps and Games] MaKTaiL:
I miss the comma button on the left side. Now I have to long press the dot to reach the comma. That wastes 2 seconds of my life. Hahahahahahaha.

But seriously, I miss it.
[Android Apps and Games] xriderx66:
This keyboard does not work on a dpi of 200. It's so much scrunched down...
[Android Apps and Games] ironlood:
Seriously have fallen in love with this keyboard, have been using swift key now for a while.

Seeing that this is a beta that has been put out for public trials i'm assuming that not much will change in terms of functionality because this is probably very near a release candidate. If anything does change i would like some layout features or toggles to turn on or off certain features.

Also is there something that can be done to stop the apk from crippling its functionality around May ??

This may not be fair, but I find it odd that golauncher can put out 9 beta's in the same time it taken swifttkey to get one... And it'll probably be 10 and we'll still be to tapping.
[Android Apps and Games] Javs2010:
Love this keyboard!!

Nexus S ICS 4.0.4
[Android Apps and Games] jav92:
Looks great! I downloaded it and so far it has been very good (especially new size of the space bar) except for few things:

-Learning from Gmail and Twitter doesn't seems to work fine, with Facebook I had no problems.

-The place where the "123" button is... In almost every keyboard is in the bottom left corner, in this one it is in second place from left to right of the bottom line... I think we can get used to it but if there was an option to change the place where it is it would be great!

Future versions/releases are going to be announced in this post?
[Android Apps and Games] Whizzpopper:
This looks great! Thanks! Is there any chance of a Swiftkey for Japanese?
