my EnglishUS.zdb.le is 246.640byts. same size as the original one from the source files.

you might wanna try this.

close swype (/turn different keyboard on). now you can delete userdata.udb.

turn swype back on. it will create a new userdata-file.

open this file with a hex-editor:

first line is (may be a bit different): 7F 06 84 83 01 00 36 00 02 00 FB FF FF FF 02 00

in the middle at 0x63f0 there will be some text again, something about the language.

at the end: D4 D4 D4 D4

the rest of the file is all 00.

now add some words in swype and you will see the changes in the userdata-file.

Loving this little app. I have a phone with hardware keyboard (i780) and I find myself using swype more and more... I guess that finally i can stop looking for phones with hardware keyboards.

My only gripes are: the automatic space between words needs better logic (the first word has always a space before, and if I correct an existent word then there are 2 spaces..), my other problem is the resolution. there is not really a version for the 320p width of my screen so I cannot use it in full!

Finally the lack of native portuguese language. The hack is a just that, an hack!

Works great on my HTC Vogue running WM 6.5

I am even more excited how it works on my Samsung i760 running WM 6.1... it has a keyboard but this allows sending a txt msg one handed.

I am still struggling to get Swype to work on my iPAQ 2415 runnning WM6.5

I vote this as a must have app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mahender:
i queried this too. no joy yet.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Flip-Oh:
Thanks for the replies!

Do I need to do both or just the save as .txt?

Edit: I did both and ended up with the attached file. Is this useable? It's the Dutch dictionary.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] apsis:
adding words will not effect the languagezb.le theres just the main dictionary in it. as laureus allready said, the userdata.udb stores the safed words, but its limited. for sure it would be the best way to get the informations from the zdb.le files, as it would make it possible to create a own 'language' with the dictionary we have collected and we wouldnt have a problem anymore with the size limitation. but for me i can not see any way to get in the zdb.le files. maybe theres someone out there who's able to do that, we have to wait if someone will be doing this. other than that, we can only wait for the shipped devices with the supported languages to extract them ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ranj9119:
Thats the overlap problem and it's unsolved.

You have to download the VGA version, It seems like you installed incorrect version.

Settings => Input => Swype = > Settings :D

Go to encoding
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ranj9119:
Download links removed due to developers message and request.

Sorry :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gibeon:
I guess we can still try to make language packs?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ranj9119:
That is not illegal ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tcchuin:
what was this about?don't have to tell me about the content,just what is it about..like..er..topic.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] laureus:
we could try. but at the moment i have no idea how to succeed.

swype looks nice and is stable that is most likely the reason why i would use it.

slideit and shapewriter are faster. but slideit has some annoying bug with the layout on my td2 making it unuseable.

now i am testing shapewriter. it costs a bit more but works conviniently so far.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ranj9119:
read second post
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tcchuin:
that's bad.looks like i'll never get a newer version of swype which is better on my touch 3g.hope someone in ppc warez will still extract it from rom then.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ranj9119:
PPCWarez didn't extract it! They just released it after Modaco. And guys at Modaco were the one who extracted the rom. Read the first post please
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tcchuin:
of course i know that.i was using the 5MB cab from modaco,as soon as it's released.but,modaco and xdanow can't provide swype dl anymore,well,hope some one from ppcwarez will extract it,or at least smeone will post it there then.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arturobandini:
I have this bug with SlideIT also. I wrote to them and their support answered me that solve this bug on the HD2 is now a priority. A new version shall be available soon. SlideIT is indeed faster than Swype.

I also tried Shapewriter: it is the most expensive of the three keyboards, no landscape and it recognised almost none of the words I wanted to write.... I was verydisappointed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Aioria:
When released the italian language?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] HIYinOR:
This is a great product. I am glad I was able to test it on my devices. I prefer trying to stay with "no cost" solutions but this is probably the first App I would not hesitate to buy. There is a HUGE market of fully functional smart phones and PPC's that have essentially been abandoned by providers. xda-developers is an awesome testing ground and access point for this market... Swype is missing the point of this forum, and losing out on free help in development. Everybody I know with a smart phone has now heard of "Swype". Word of mouth advertising is priceless... I hope Swype opens up to the Abandoned smart phone market. xda-deveopers has proven the "viral market" potential.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ranj9119:
Guys I think we can still work on the db files
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kenjari:
Where can I get this?

Since its removed now. Where can we get this at?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
A friend helps a friend helps a friend. Lucky we are, have downloded this peace of app.

No one can forbid me to work on my own, only for myself, so long as i not publish the work from me. I own the right phone as a backup system and i can play with my phone as i want to play. Also when i open up my rom for what i have payed. OK no support but :) i can support myself.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kensong:
I use SKTools with Manage Input, set Swype as Default and changed the settings for delay to 10,000. Had problems with the default settings of 5,000 where the HTC word suggestions keeps popping up in Swype.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lohtse:
Doesn't Work on either my I-mate pda-n QVGAwm5 nor my XDA Orbit QVGA wm6.1 All I get is a full black screen when I change to the keyboard......

Hi guys,

Is there a clever way to check how many new words do I have in my dictionary?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] walter67:
+1 would also like to take a look at!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] apsis:
nothing that i know... if userdata.udb has reached 64kb filesize, its full which means it contains 65.000 chars. but sadly there's no other way yet,because we havent find a way to open up the *.ubd nor the *zdb.le files yet.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SkinFlint:
Same problem here. Im using an iPaq hx2000 series PDA with WM6.5.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] spastik:
Since there is a 65kb limit to the dictionary how can we import those x MB dictionarys ?

If we can't, then should we select some words to create our own custom dictionary ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] polstein:
Problem Swyping Numbers & Symbols?

Holding down on the key works fine to get the alternate numbers/letters (wish I could shorten the time a bit).

However, dragging from a symbol to the space bar doesn't seem to work for me - it guesses a word instead.

Anyone else with this problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] apsis:
Yes it's possible, i tried to build in the 10.000 most common words, as you can imagine yourself, 10.000 its nearly nothing. I read somewhere that you should have at least 100.000 words to clarify that you have a usefull dictionary.

as i said, i put in the 10.000 most common words, and the userdata.udb cant at least take everything ... (limited to 65.000chars). so you could make a dictionary yourself but you will have to type a lot of words yourself while writing with other ppl. so we need another workaround, but as long as noone is able to open up the *.udb or the *.zdb.le (better choice) files, its nearly impossible. maybe if anyone would leak the header from the *.udb , so we could remove the filesize limit ...

i hope there's someone out there who is possible to do those things.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zsunsun:
Wow this thing is awesome, it works wonders on my touch pro 1. Now only if I can make it less sluggish...

Hi

Hi,

I've been trying to use Swype, my problem with it is that I don't know how to turn the dictionary off, and for it to just type whatever I input. I would be grateful if you would kindly help me with this matter.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hknklbk:
Hi everybody,

Here is Turkish dictionary (with 26.123 words)...

But it is quite difficult, cause it needs to be adapted to Swype.

Turkish is muchly involved with suffix, because of that it seems very difficult to adopt. But anyway we will see if we can do stg.

And also the keyboard need to be adapted too.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] phamtranhieu:
i can use swype for w 6.1
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] spastik:
i'm still trying to understand how can I import a dictionary to swype.

I've tried to open a large file (one of those dictionarys in #3 post), selecting all those words and click on swipe key (bottom left key), but the whole keyboard gets highlighted by a blue rectangle and then nothing happens...

What I'm I doing wrong ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] q123123an:
Why?......
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmckeejr:
Look at end of second post. Swype has requested removal of files
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arturobandini:
If Swype Inc. had preferred a direct-to-consumer distribution, they would probably be very popular and very rich at the moment I think...

I would immediately buy their keyboard for my HD2 if only I could.

But they chose another strategy, therefore putting all the power in the hands of manufacturers/operators instead of end-users. :mad:

I think no one can understand this strategy.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] goldsfool:
Well, their strategy obviously worked because they have a multi-million dollar partnership with Nokia and Samsung. I'm just glad to see them succeed because developers don't get nearly what they deserve any more. You may have paid for it, but unfortunately there are many more who would not and would find other means of obtaining it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
- You both are right from the one and the other side, but in our world only the old s..t money give you access, not the KnowHow. I think it is time to learn the big one to fear us. And there are enough ways to do that.

- Why only Nokia and Samsung. Why not all? ..hehe, for me the point to support is further. The really russian background is bigger then all companys together, thanks god.

- I'm just glad - this is to much for me. Ok success for everyone but this one will be bigger and bigger. Must we have a second gate(s)?

- because developers don't get nearly what they deserve any more .. i agree 100% with that

- You may have paid for it ... ok but what is wtih the members from xda that have done many work to support it. We need a lawyer for that? To get some free versions for this guys who have done a good job?

I am really disapointed about things like that. OK we all have to live, but the way in that is no longer the right one... Change the mind and the people will change
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] elmz:
one of the best qwerty I've used so far ... fantastic amazing stuff ..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arturobandini:
I agree. I think SlideIT is a little bit faster than Swype. Mainly SlideIT is a little bit more 'clever' and tolerant than Swype when you do not slide exactly on the right letter...

I just hope SlideIT plans to improve the design of its keyboard. It is not very sexy at the moment. Could be far better...

Oh... And I really miss the directional arrows keys. Absolutely necessary.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Now i have seen SlideIt and have tested it, i think this is 100 times better, because we can buy it and the language packs are free. Next point is: i can dusking it...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arturobandini:
Agreed. With SlideIT you can mix the language packs you want. For instance, let's say you need to write in Spanish and German: all you have to do is to download this 2 free language packs and it will work.:)

This system is better than Swype, which is limited to the build-in language.

Hope someone will make some skins to improve the design of SlideIT. Very good keyboard, but the design is really not very nice (especially landscape is horrible and small). And, please, add directional keys!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tcchuin:
continue it at ppc warez:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] uniqueboy:
So as a result of Swypes legal team a lot of people are going to wind up buying SlideIt, sounds like a great success for the lawyers. The best thing Swype could do is bring the app straight to market with a price tag lower than SlideIt's and multi-language support. Removing the cabs from here is a waste of time anyway since the extracted rom files are still available at modaco to download and copy straight to your device, who needs a cab?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arturobandini:
mmh... yes, uniqueboy I think this is right. I have to say that Swype's attitude made me turn myself to SlideIT (ok, I finally found SlideIT better and Swype does not support multi-language, but this is my personnal opinion, and users have to judge by themselves...).

Anyway, maybe would I have been ready to purchase Swype. But Swype Inc. don't let us the right to buy it. And now even a message from their lawyers !!!

Once again, I do believe many people here were desirous to buy this soft. And this thread has been the best advertisment for the company.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] yerp:
saw this coming the second i read this thread the day it was originally posted....glad i got copy while it lasted....

i don't use on-screen keyboards as i have a Touch Pro, but with all these sexy, big screen, multitouch, phones on the horizon, i've been keeping an eye out for a solid solution so i can forgo the hardware keyboard on my next phone.

i wish the developers good luck, as it's easy to tell the amount of work they've put into their product. it is definitely going to be an feature to look for in my next phone purchase....

as for the pages of chatter i've read since the take down, since i called it perfectly day one, i feel obligated to comment:

the OP of this thread seemed to have good intentions...i distinctly remember the first time i read this thread, that he made it clear from the start that he was not the developer of the software, but was so impressed by it that he wanted to promote it..... whether he originally extracted it and cabbed it up is irrelevant, he made this proprietary software available to the masses with his post. which indirectly costs the developers of the software he liked so much some hard to accurately calculate amount of $.....

i think a link to the videos would have been a better choice for him....but then again, it wouldn't have gotten nearly the same amount of attention. it is also pretty obvious from the delay and the text of the developers statement that they understood this, and since the genie was already out of the bottle, they allowed it to stay out for a little longer and take the free advertisement/marketing....

i know that this community is used to things being given to them, but that choice rests with the developer and we should all respect that. most of the products posted on here for free are made by hobbyists who have other sources of income and do what they do here for fun, feedback, and self-improvement.

to all the people b!tching about the Swype developers action, grow up and get a job, because you obviously know nothing of hard work and effort. once you get that job flipping burgers or cleaning toilets, come over to my house and do that job for me, for free....leeches...

you people are selfish and your attitude and actions make-up all that is wrong with this community and are the only real threat to it's livelyhood. if you wake up one morning and this site is down for good, blame yourself, because your greed and sense of entitlement ruined a great thing....

i know i sound preachy and i'm sure that i'll be flamed, but i don't care. this has been building up after seeing incidents like this this happen here and other online communities i am a part of countless times. as a professional developer, i know first hand what it is like to have your work cracked and distributed for free without consent.....and it hurts in more that just $ terms.

//end rant

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] uniqueboy:
As Swypes business model is built around only oem distribution I don't see how they have lost a penny. Their deals with Samsung and Nokia remain in place undamaged while Dasur cash in with SlideIt. They really should have anticipated that the i920 rom would immediately be dumped and should have had a cab on the market before the phone was even released. It is no-ones fault but their own if their business model has a gaping hole in it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sir.John:
brave thing to state without knowing the contens of their contracts. How about a paragraph that grants exclusive availabilit to the contractors aka Nokia and Samsung? Quite common for such deals round here...

just my 0,02 € ;-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arturobandini:
What I don't like, as a customer, is the rather hypocritical attitude of Swype in this case.

Read again their message... They probably know that the fact that Swype has been hacked and distibuted is actually a great way to promote their keyboard for free. They say it's illegal but encourage us to "enjoy Swipe". What does it mean?

It's hypocritical because they know that it would create a demand, but in the mean time they refuse to let the customers even download a demo version or buy a full version if ever the customers were desirous to do so. Moreover, they can easily play the victim yet.

As it has been said many times already, I think there is clearly something wrong with this strategy (even if I can undesrtand the strategy somehow, but not from the customer's point of view), and seriously, it leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mummuapsu:
I know that this is a noob question, but...

Where can i find the userdata.udb file?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
erm, that's a bit unexpected..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sir.John:
check your program files\swype directory. Please note, that "program files" was hardcoded, so if you run another language than english, make sure to check the aforementioned one and not your local "programmos" or else :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mummuapsu:
Thank you!!:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] apsis:
I also purchased SlideIt now, since it's very revolutionary to slide through the letters, makes everything even faster. I don't like SlideIt that much, because of its Keyboard Layout and that you have to switch the Layout to make Questionmarks for example, Swype was way easier and more comfortable. But they havent left me another choice since there's no way to get german dictionarys for swype.

I'm sad about the thing, that they stopped us from finding a solution, also won't throw in the other dictionarys. I hope they know what they are doing. I wonder if SlideIt Development will increase now that they removed the most links of Swype.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arturobandini:
Will buy SlideIT too, but I am still waiting for an updated version working properly on the HD2 even in landscape mode.

I also hope SlideIT will improve its design. Indeed, to have to switch the Layout to make questionmarks is really bad.

The same, on Swype if you make a long press on "e" it will give you all the accent "é", "è", "ê".... SlideIT does not have this nice feature.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ranj9119:
To everyone out there using this app on Non-Omnia II devices (Guys who downloaded from here or this input was not shipped with their mobile-phone) please stop using this app and stop supporting Swype, A company who doesn't appreciate what users have done to help them.

Please stop using this application, remove it from your device and start using input applications from companies that understand their users like Dasur SlideIT

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jsmith8858:
It's hilarious sometimes how out-of-touch people are with reality, and how they are incapable of stepping back and objectively analyzing a situation beyond the simple "how does this affect ME!!????" reaction.

They license their software to make money, that is their right. They have overhead, salaries, etc, and deserve to benefit from their work. Why do companies pay their license fee? To give their device a "competive edge" over companies that don't feature the product -- this input method not available elsewhere, so buy our phone! Anything wrong or evil about that so far? Now, if that input method is available elsewhere -- for FREE no less -- then companies will no longer pay the licensing fee, and the SlideIT folks will loose income which they deserve based on their work. And, on top of that, they clearly indicated they are working on releasing a downloadable product users can buy if they would like to, they are just working out the details. What is so wrong about and horrible what them requesting that people don't package up, edit, and give away their hard work for free? How the heck is doing that "helping" them in anyway?

Seriously, people, take a minute and examine the situation from an nonbiased "but I WANT the keyboard NOW and for FREE, that's MY RIGHT!!!" perspective.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] spastik:
I think that most of us who want to use swype were willing to pay for it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arturobandini:
Yes, we never said we wanted this software for free. On the contrary.

But Swype should have been ready to propose the soft for people desirous to buy it. That's it. No more, no less.

The negative point is that they decided to negotiate exclusively with the manufacturers and therefore chose to ignore the end users that we are.

I agree with you wholeheartedly!

Lets not get mad at SWYPE for wanting to profit from thier own invention!

This is not shareware! They didnt post this for everyone to just download for free.

We are spoiled here I think, we get so much ported from various phones manufactures and and companies like HTC and Windows, that I think we are not used to being told NO.

Lets remember that people over at SWYPE and whoever else, worked hard and put their time into creating something, and they have every right to do what they please with it.

Hopefully they will make it available to us later....but until then lets all calm down and not turn these wonderful threads into "DRAMA ZONES'.

Happy Holidays to all of my fellow cell addicts!
