Discalimer: While this has worked for me and many others, it may not work for you so be careful and remember to always back up your data.

Well after much searching for instructions on how to install Swype and get it working without the various errors and crashing i have decided to write up this little tutorial... 'Why do we need a tutorial?' you ask. well since my first attempt at installing Swype i have gone thorugh 2 hard resets and a new Rom.

I have also found a 'fixed' cab, after attempting to use a cab rip from the tmous version and screwing over my phone.

Some of these swype cabs are a bit buggy and can cause temporary errors in your registry that screw-up anything that is encrypted, this includes saved passwords for applications and more importantly the windows unlock password.

This may not happen in your installation but it's better to be safe than sorry and can be enabled after we have finished installing.

So before we even begin installation navigate your way to Settings > Security > Phone lock and then untick the box that says 'Prompt if phone unused for...'

Download the fixed-Swype cab if you have not done so already, i have to say thanks to whoever it was that made this, and is available here on xda-forums.

Cab:

Fixed-Swype-HTCBlackBird-3.9.10.10.5032.CAB

(No i will not put the fileup for public download, just search for it).

connect your HD2 to your computer and copy the cab over to the device into which ever folder you like.

now pick-up your phone and using your prefered file explorer navigate to the directory you just placed the cab in and open it.

During install you MUST make sure that you select to install the software to your 'Device' and NOT to the storage card.

Once the installation is complete your phone will prompt for a restart, select cancel and return to your file explorer.

Now navigate to the internal memory and then to the Windows directory in here will be a new folder named Swype, select it and then from the menu select copy.

Now go up out of the Windows directory but remaining in the internal storage navigate to Program Files.

Inside the Program Files directory paste the Swype folder.

Now perform a soft reset and swype should now be succesfully installed, to test swype open a blank message or word document, when the standard keyboard opens, click the small arrow next to the keyboard icon on the menu bar and select Swype.

Enjoy.

Great write up. Must admit i had many problems installing the v3.9 and had to hard reset to fix it. Your last steps about cancelling the restart and copying the folder is what is different.

Must admit though, i just installed the v2.0 from the Omnia and found it typed faster (this is compared to when i did have v3.9 working). Also with 3.9 the number selection when holding down a certain key hardly ever worked, works all the time with 2.0 so i just stuck with that. With a skin it looks not bad either even though 3.9 does have the better appearance etc.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] stephan1:
may it also work for my touch pro 2 ?

Thanks in advance
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tictac0566:
There is actually a new version of Swype floating around... installing it seems to be pretty easy. And the bugs of the version which is mentioned above are solved, too. Just google for "IME_Swype_3_19_20_20_6343_0.cab" and you will find it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] pooley182:
I did think about doing that but after seeing the screenshot was quite unimpressed, it just looks... unfinished...

I wouldn't like to say as i only have tried this on the HD2, but as long as you back-up and are prepared to re-enter all your passwords you could always try.

thanks for the info i may have to check it out if i get a chance.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Agoattamer:
There are actually 4 versions of swype floating around for use on the HD2.

The Omnia II version: works well but keys are small and just looks too plain.

The fixxed 3.9.10.10.5032 blackbird edition: Ripped from TMOUS. Much more pleasing to the eye. Long presses do not always work. (ex: holding for numbers). It changes your phone ID to T-Mobile_Leo. This it what locks you out of your phone if you have it passworded and causes you to hard reset. Disable password before installing. It also destroys settings for email and router pass keys. It also deletes passwords for installed applications like Resco and SPB. Also had to run through internet connection setup again. And who knows what else.

Another version of 3.9.10.10.5032 by LordYuz: This has been fixxed to not change your phone ID. Won't destroy your passwords or lock you out of your phone. Long presses still do not work well.

IME_Swype_3_19_20_20_6343_0: Also ripped from new TMOUS HD2. Again this version changes your phone ID and will cause damage as stated above. Not sure if long presses are fixxed with this version or not. Hoping LordYuz gets his hands on this version and fixxes it too.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] fiendskillz:
where can i get the omnia version? i want to switch because theres a problem with the swype i have, it would ask for double confirmation of one word even when nothing is checked to ask for confirmation.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rexboy:
Refer to my post here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=684198&page=2 post #12

whilst v2.0 (omnia version) is floating around everywhere (google easily finds it), this is the newer released v3.9 by LordYuz which fixes the previous 3.9. works great. It is larger to install but go into the swype folder in the Windows directory, del the tutorial, its almost 10mb alone to save space :-)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hagba:
I used almost all of them including the fixed version ended up hard reseting twice,until I came across swype V.2 which I am enjoying it now a lot.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] cu2cool:
I have version 6343 with the Eleganicia ROM on WM 6.5.5 base. It works perfectly with long press, but the allignment is off due to the bigger taskbar. Any ideas on how to adjust it?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] j4n87:
LordYuz updated his Swype version to the current TMOUS Swype rip.

Works perfect with all fixes and it doesnt change the model id of your phone
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rexboy:
You probably used this version 3.9.10.10.5032.

Are you sure you tried the newest being Swype 3.19.20.20.6343.

Im using this no problem in terms of changing the phone ID, passwords etc and others have commented the same.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 6jaipur6:
anyone has an ideea how to have romanian language?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tictac0566:
So far, Swype is only 5 languages... to implement any other is not an easy job. Hopefully Swype will officially make an offer soon, with more languages. I think many people would buy it if the price is reasonable.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] cu2cool:
Can anybody answer this?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jas0nw0ng:
The omnia version does not lag when using htc messaging's conversation mode (with +50 message in a conversation). I installed the new stock ROM and this new swype version fixes the long press key problem, but it still lags pretty bad. My first question is, how do you check the swype version on the HD2? Secondly, does the newest swype version fix the lag problem?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rexboy:
Agreed, when i used to use the 2.0 (omnia version), it was simple and fast, just didnt look as good without a skin and the keys were a bit smaller.

Although in saying that, i have just flashed with a new aftermarket ROM which has the omnia swype already cooked in, v2.0 and it runs sweet.

Few days prior when i ran the latest swype i didnt have any lag on a stock 1.48 rom not sure why you got a lag problem. I also have hundreds of sms's but it worked good for me, i liked the new version as it just seemed built for our phones, larger keys, sound and vibration feedback, long key presses and even deleting words holding the backspace key down erased words etc. Overall very nice.

To check swype version, go to settings, personal, input and when you select swype, there is an about button top left. tells you there.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] saulo866:
I have 4 questions...basically how to reset swype and how to guess which version is running.

QUESTIONS:

1.

how can I know which swype version i am running? from which menu? or settings or where?

2. How to install a dictionary, for example ITALIAN Dictionary? (I have the Italian cab, but installation does not work)

I have two HD. The old one HTC-HD2, NOT T-mobile (running an old 6.5.3 cooked rom) has a modified swype in which sometimes (50% of times) long pressing does NOT result in a number to be typed. But it has ITALIAN language.

My new HD2 t-mobile has probably a omnia version (smaller keys) and long press ALWAYS work. Unfortunately it only has only ENG and SPANISH dictionaries, NOT ITALIAN. I have tried to install Italian cab (following a thread here) but it is NOT recognized as a legitimate dictionary.

3.

How to reset swype? In fact after 3 or more months, the OLD HD2 has this problem: I have accidentally hit od and i3 and press space. these 2 mistyped words are now part of the ENGLISH dictionary, right? then what happens, every time i type OF I get OD (as default choice) and same for IF: I get i3...so I wish to reset the internal dictionary. How to do it?

4.

The NON-omnia swype, in the 3rd screen (click 123-SYM key 3 times), has an option "SELECT ALL", The Ommia-version of swype does NOT have this option. Is there a way to add in omnia-version of swype?

5.

The english dict has this word TYPO. Each time I swype TO the system ALWAYS enter TYPO...how to correct this behaviour? I wish to eliminate TYPO from dictionary. there are instructions on how to do. but these instructions do not work...

Thanks and waiting

Error Windows Media Player The system cannot find the file specified

Is it possible that anyone knows where the file SwypeIntroVideo.wmv can be found?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rexboy:
There are many CAB's floating around (for Swype.v3.9.20.20.6343-LordYuz) that contain this video tutorial however most ROM's that have it cooked in dont. The reasoning is that its approx 9mb of prescious memory so they have excluded it.

Find the cab online and install manually and it should be there.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rexboy:
If you have installed Swype to your main memory then you should be fine. sounds like you just havent selected it properly.

Open any sms and just tap to the right of the little keyboard symbol (bottom middle). This will give you a pop up text input settings menu. Swype will either be there or with other input methods pending how many keyboards you have installed.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] cu2cool:
I still have Dutty's IME Swype v3.19.20.20.6343.0 extracted from the T-Mo US 2.13 stock ROM. Is this the latest version available for the HD2? If so, does anybody know how to make it more compatible with a WM6.5.x ROM? Or does everybody just put up with the overlap at the bottom start bar?

Swype v3.9.20.20.6343 including Tutorial

23 August 2010 using custom ROM Artemis 30.0 re-installed Swype.v3.9.20.20.6343

INSTALLATION OF SWYPE IS TO DEVICE AND NOT STORAGE CARD

There is Swype keyboard part overlap imperfection

Tutorial runs. However, barely audible when volume at 100% (or I must be going deaf)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dwarfcoach:
Truely amazing application, is changing my life already!!

Seriously though, very smooth, can't find anything wrong. Only thing I would say is that the introductory step-by-step guide could be tweeked to help the truly idiotic (not me obviously) who may not understand that you should tap in the blank empty space to the right of the central keyboard icon, otherwise it all looks like it has not installed properly.

Could, could look like that... :-)

Thanks guys.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] klaudia73:
Hey guys,

running Artemis 21.5 german and Swype.v3.9.20.20.6343-LordYuz I can select Swype as the input method, but can't change the language to anything else but English. Long press on "Q" brings up the "language" popup, but I can't do anything there. The popup goes away as soon as I take the finger off the screen.

Also, in the Options menu, under preferences, the language drop-down is empty.

Swype-folder is both in the windows- and program files-directory. Is it needed in both or should I erase in one in the windows-folder?

I'd prefer not renaming the files, as I'll want to switch back and forth between English and German.

Help?

Thanks

Anybody knows how to fix the lag in HTC messaging conversation mode with Dutty's IME Swype v3.19.20.20.6343.0? Or is there any other version that does work better? (WM 6.5.3 Duttys CDLC V10 German)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] cu2cool:
What lag specifically are you referring to? The time that it takes before you can type? This may be due to the amount of texts you have in that convo. Either try deleting most of the messages or tap send and cancel to speed up the load time.

If you're experiencing lag while typing after the messages have loaded, then maybe you can try turning off vibrate on key press, turn off the swype trail, or adjust the accuracy/word predictions toggles.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Neo84:
A bit of both.

The main lag that is bothering me is the time before I can start typing. I know that it's somehow related to the amount of messages loaded BUT if I use the normal HTC keyboard I can type immediately after creating a new message. There must be something especially with swype. There was a lag even with the HTC keyboard in older versions of HTC messaging but that has eventually been fixed. The problem now exists only with swype :(.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rexboy:
Swype is definitely the culprit. As mentioned, the newer messaging clients have assisted to reduce the lag dramatically.

When using Touchpal, SlideIT and the stock keyboard the lag isnt there.

The other thing i have noticed is that when using Swype v2.0 from the Omnia, it types instantly, no lag unlike the newer 3.9 version.

Ive tried fiddling around with the settings like vibrate, word prediction etc but it seems to make little to no difference.

** Got sick of the delay when attempting to type so reverted back to v2.0 yet again lol. Definitely faster, no lag, sure it doesnt look as good but still looks ok and at the end of the day, it responds much faster...........well for me anyway.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] klaudia73:
Nobody? Really would love to use Swype...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Neo84:
Swype 2.0 had the error with 3/% typing, right? It's a shame that it cannot be fixed. Isn't that a problem on the TMOUS HD2 that are preinstalled with swype? Did anybody try if it's a difference if swype is cooked in the rom?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] yeofucheng:
hey, i followed your instructions. But i still cant use it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] cu2cool:
If you are using a HD2. For the English version, just google Dutty's IME Sywpe, DL, install, and you're good. :) It might mess with your e-mail account, so beware, or install after flashing, before setting up e-mail.

Hi people, finally solved my random 3G/HSDPA disconnection issues when using 2.1 custom roms and latest radio on orange uk.

Latest radio rom 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 seems to not working properly on ORANGE UK network (and maybe T-mobile) after flashing several ROMS to my hero problem still existed, so decided finally downgrade my radio to version which I have used before with MoDaco custom rom 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29 and voila WORKING FLAWLESSLY :)

So, if any have disconnections on 3G/HSDPA with orangeUK try that radio.

So I love my HD because of it's big screen (I love watching movies). I download these high quality 3d anime movies and sink them down to 800x480, play them on my coreplayer 1.3.6 or smth and it lags like hell. I try it on Windows media player and it runs perfectly. Am I doing something wrong or does coreplayer really suck ?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ASK768:
i think it might be you.

on my HD, i pick any 1hr30min+ video encoded for playback on pcs (file size 700mb) and it plays fine in CP

Maybe its a ROM issue? try disabling manila or a softreset and see if that helps.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Tigermoto:
Would have to agree with ASK

Yeah, coreplayer is brilliant, plays pretty much everything i throw at it. Though at first i'd have agreed with you, but for differing reasons.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] zakariae:
I think it's more A ROM issue, because I flash ROMs every week or two and on some ROMs coreplayer lags like hell. With stock ROM is the best I think:D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] andes83:
840x480 is too much for our HD try a bit lower something in the range of 624x352 it looks and runs smooth 98.22% average speed with a good ROM I run hdtv rips downloaded and not compressed or anything... tweaks are important also try different drivers and speed improving programs .
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] qwertylesh:
I loaded a standard definition american dad episode (approx 135mb) and coreplayer plays it flawlessly on my HD.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] forelli:
Maybe it is you. LOL, just kidding. I never sunk anything to a special format for it to be played by CP: I have DivX, XViD, MP4, AVI movies, I just put them on my storage card and open them "as is" in Coreplayer 1.36. Either your manipulation to "sink" the anime to 800*480 was wrong, because you don't need to actually. Or it could be ROM related.

f.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] PaKo0o:
Never knew it could be ROM related.. 0.o I'll test that. What about other normal movies, like not anime? Are they watchable ?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] stoolzo:
where it could be ROM related it it probably more likely to be a long standing issue with the HD and drivers, this has been covered a zillion times already. The HD will have trouble most video files in coreplayer as there is no hardware acceleration and the CPU alone just doesnt have the low down grunt.Your best bet is to upgrade to the HD2 or to covert your files using the touch HD video converter, (there are a few versions about) and then play them in HTC video player which has acceleration.

That being said, coreplayer if by far the best player on the market with regards to formats and codec suppport, if you dont mind reducing the resolution a little on your movies they should reasonable well.

The software I like, the company I do not however as they are mislead their customers, make huge exegerations about future update release dates and generally pissed off their customer base when failed to release V2 on time and moved their dev to android.

If you are going to upgrade to the HD2 I would try the free version TCMP first as it has AC3 suppport.

Hey what class cards are you guys playing stuff off or are ya's playing stuff off the internal memory?

I'm asking because even though mine could play a cartoon flawlessly, I tried watching a normal tv episode on my HD and it failed miserably, dropped frames, video got stuck every few minutes, it was totally poo :eek:

I'm wondering if its my card or my TCPMP release, I have read some have hardware acceleration and most other versions don't, I'm using a Class 4 8GB card at the moment and am wondering if Ill get a lot of benefit for Video/Music going to a Class 6 8GB Micro SDHC card.
